I am on a rooted droid X. The backup was made using nandroid Backup Droid X bootstrap. The backup is missing both the recovery.img and boot.img


In my clockworkmod/backup. I have:
system.img
data.img
.android_secure.img
cache.img
nandroid.m5

I want to do my first custom rom but I am concerned with not having the recovery.img and boot.img in the backup. Are my concerns warranted? If so, how can i get them? Also, I wanted to get a complete backup without using Backup Droid X bootstrap but could not find out where/how to make this backup. Any help or comments are greatly appreciated.

U can make back ups onto your computer if u don't trust your SD card. I did. Just hook it up and browse to the folder where the .img file is saved.

Sent from my DROIDX using DroidForums

Recovery is CWR and doesn't get erased during any of the rom install/wipe functions.

Boot loader is locked on your phone, isn't it? If it is, it can not be written over/replaced.

Those are my best guesses. I did look and my old Droid 1 Nandroid Backups have recovery and boot. My Nandroid Backups for the Bionic have neither. The difference seems to be locked bootloader.
