I'm running Android 13 on a device for which there is no TWRP nor OrangeFox recovery module: it's a Pixel 7 Pro.
I'd like to perform the equivalent of nandroid backup/restore, and I'm wondering if there are any ways to do this.
To be clear, I'm not looking for any "backup" apps (*e.g.*, SwiftBackup, TitaniumBackup, *etc.*) which only back up apps and maybe call logs and messages. I want to be able to back up and restore all the OS partitions such as
/system
, /boot
, *etc.*, which a working nandroid implementation can do.
I know that partitions can be backed up using dd
-based methods, but if I take a dd
backup, then upgrade my OS, and then decide that I want to return to the earlier OS, I can't use dd
to restore, because the encryption would have changed.
Is there perhaps an EDL-based method for doing what I'd like to do?
Thank you in advance for any ideas and suggestions.
