(Tweaks) onandroid v5.9 : Nanandroid back-ups without recovery mode

Rate this article:

This is a useful tool if you really want to have a nanandroid back-up without wasting too much time on rebooting the phone in recovery. This script is fast, probably maximum 5-7 minutes in making backup. Please read terms and conditions before installing or trying this.

This process should be done without any interruption. Since it is processing without turning the phone off, you might think that it is safe to minimize and then do other things. Well its always best to do nothing and avoid whatever consequences if your backup fails.

Give credits to dev for this wonderful tweak. You will need to have a rooted phone of course to use this. Then you must also have terminal emulator installed too (download from apps page). Then a CWM  (download from tweaks page) to restore of course, and basic knowledge on how to use your phone to navigate.

2 Ways to install
1. Flashing through CWM (place the zip to the root of sd card)
- boot to recovery (volume up+power+home)

- choose the cwm zip
- then using the cwm choose the onandroid zip and flash


2. Without rebooting phone (use root explorer)
- download the file
