not my directions, but they worked! i wanted to share after doing a search and not coming up with anything. all credit goes to Dr. Dre


Here's the solution :-

1. Start phone in recovery mode, by turning it on while holding "Home" and "Power"

buttons.

2. Plug the phone into the PC with a USB cable

3. Start Windows Command Prompt on your PC, by pressing Start on your PC and typing

CMD into the run or search bar depending on your operating system. Then selecting

Command Prompt.

4. Within the command prompt window, change the directory to the one your adb tools

are by typing the following:

cd c:\sdk\tools

5. Then type:

adb shell


6. Now type:

mount /sdcard


7. Now you need to change directory again to the one holding your nandroid back-up

data, so first type

cd /sdcard


8. Then type:

cd nandroid


9. Now you need to find the specific name for the folder that holds your Nandroid

Backup images, so type:

ls

and view the list that appears.

10. Now to enter the folder you want to back up to type

cd HT**********

obviously replacing the *s with your numbers and letters. FYI the number string

is your Device Serial number.

11. Again type

ls

and view the list that appears.

12. Now to enter the folder you want to back up to type

cd BCD***-********-****

obviously replacing the *s with your numbers and letters. FYI the format of

these digits is BCDXYZ-YYYYMMDD-HHMM from when the back up was created.

13. Now type:

nandroid-mobile.sh restore


14. Just press enter to select default.

15. Double check that the Default backup that is found is the one you want then

press enter again. Your selected backup will now be restored.
 
Why not just turn on your phone while holding the down volume and power buttons and do this from your recovery program?
