My nandroid backup dated Aug 15. If i restore will it erase the 3R buiold prop?

if you make the backup before then yes.. nandroid is a complete rom restore.

Will the bootloader be lock after restore?
*
nopes.. nandroid backup does not cover bootloader
/edit
bootloader is similar to our pc bios.. as the word means "boot loader", means it helps you load the boot image. kernel is the boot image and the operating system file is system image (like our windows folder)
backup covers boot.img, system, data, recovery.img and cache. just browse into a nandroid backup folder you can see all the types backed up..
flashing bootloader is the most risky part.

I think it will be easier to do a nandroid restore, root and then update thru recovery. Not going to update now coz my device has no issues ( touch wood ).The 3R binary update also has some fixes. All these infos will assist me when i need to update.  Thx so much for yr kind input.
*
the latest update supercedes 3R.. whistling.gif
no prob, actually to play with all these roms.. need to equip yourself with the background knowledge..
actually the method I post also easy.. since u already updated the booloader to 3.41.. just download the file and flash from recovery.. all your data/apps will be intact.

Bro flash bootloader & stock JZO45K with recovery? Filmware to download is odex or deodex? Thx
*
both odex and deodex version available, source
if you already update the bootloader then just backup and flash the rom only.
they recommend flash rom first and then only update bootloader

the more aps you install, the bigger the cwm backup.
my cwm backup is 2.18gb.

benefit of cwm is you can make several backup, the file size still about the size of 1 cwm backup only.
if you're on the same rom.
*
its using new incremental backup provided you are using cwm v6.x+
if you copying the backup to pc.. make sure you copy both backup and blobs folders from cwm

What's the plot of making cwm backup if u never keep it in ur device?

Its called a backup. When something screw up u cn restore from it.
If your backup is in ur PC its totally useless. Always keep one copy in our device.

If u want to keep our backup in PC.
Use toolkit to perform cwm backup while USB is plug in.
*
my backup is too big.. around 3~4gb.. running out of space.. there is no point of using if the device runs out of space as well.. so I backup and then send to pc.. if I need to restore I'll shuffle some stuff out and copy the backup in.. 16gb is not exactly enough sweat.gif
just use adb command to shuffle if the it boot loop.. usually adb shell works fine but need to be familiar with those commands

for those who try copy backup and fail due to too many files you can copy using adb command or use android commander.

Yeah, have been using it for a while now, just need to use the Tor trick to enable it.

If you have VPN, you can connect to VPN, buy songs, then disconnect, the song will still be there.

can share how to use the TOR trick?

You can refer to this website
I think you need to higlight the newly added two lines, and select "Apply selected" instead of "Apply all"..
