Re: Nandroid backup
i would like to flash the froyo. I installed the clockwork and using nandroid to back-up the current rom but stuck in the "back up data...." . Can somebody help?
If you have 2.1 currently, there's no worries for backup because flashing back to 2.1 is as simple as flashing Update.pkg. so hurry and hop on to froyo already

It's a known issue with no fix anticipated for the forseeable future, use MyBackup Pro or Titainium Backup for restoring your data and apps
thanks for your reply
Actually, I think there *IS* a way! I was able to connect to the Recovery via ADB and then run
Code:
nandroid backup
from there! It didn't get stuck like it used to before. I don't remember if I restored it successfully after. You might have to create the MD5 sums yourself with
Code:
md5sum boot.img recovery.img data.img system.img > nandroid.md5
..I'm typing that off the top of my head right now, so it may not be 100% accurate. I'd be interested if others have success with it. Maybe nandroid is usable like this after all, which I would really like.
Let me know if it works for you!

Hello,
I've been lurking around here for a while now... reading and learning.
I started playing with ROMs for my SGSII a few weeks ago. I've successfully created and restored nandroid backups of my daily driver(rooted stock ROM) many times. I also backed up unnamed ROM once and it restores fine too.
MY PROBLEM:
I have 2 different Nandroids of two different nightlies of CM7 and neither of them will restore. Both give an MD5 sum error. How can i Nandroid backup CM7 and and restore it correctly?
Thanks!

I have had this happen a lot to older backups that I have made. This thread here has worked for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976453
Solution:
adb shell
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010-06-29.20.22.53
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
usually does the trick

Thanks, I'll give it a go.
Oh boy that was quite a ride. For some reason when I restored the bu after using adb to fix the md5 sums I went into a reboot loop that would cross the sgs2 splash.
I had to reflash the stock plus root with odin and then a UN New kernel with cwm so I could get back to my DD. That was a bit scary just hours ahead of the SOPA blackout.
So, is there some reason that only cm7 roms are having a bad md5 sum? I really wanted to work on making cm7 My dd, but that won't be possible if I can't count on it too backup and restore reliably.
Got any tips?

You can either flash the same nightly you were on, let it reboot, then exit back out to recovery and restore your nandroid backup.
Here is another option to try. Flash the kernel zip I am attaching here: http://db.tt/wlfhSfag in cwm, then go and restore your nandroid backup. The file I am linking is JUST the kernel for CM7.
The reason you are having the issue is due to the OTHER roms using a different version/ version number of CWM. So once you flash the kernel and MAYBE try to boot it up( it will be stuck on the cyanogenmod boot screen), then 3 button back into recovery, now you will have a different version of CWM, which should allow you to restore your nandroid now.

^^^RockRatt definitley knows what he is talking about when it comes to cm7. I have never had an issue going from asop to Samsung based roms restoring from a backup. I read somewhere on here that if you rename your backups and you put a space in the name that this will cause issues with the md5 sum match. Did you happen to do this?

Thank You! I haven't tried it but my gut says that you are spot on. I figured it was something like that because I had read about how entropy's DD kernel is for stock based roms and doesn't work with CM7. I just didn't really know what to do about it. I'm going to try the flash a CM7 kernel then restore and I'll report back my results.

Nope I read that and haven't renamed any of my backup..... yet. It's good to know just in case I ever do rename them. Thanks!
OK, I'm having an odd issue with my phone. After flashing ICZenwich rc1.4 I decided to restore a backup I made of rc1.3. However it won't properly restore... I keep getting this in CWR...
Checking MD5 sums . . .
Erasing boot before restore . . .
Restoring boot image . . .
Restoring system . . .
Restoring data . . .
Can't mount /data!

Then the restore process stops. I've tried starting from scratch via Odin and then again attempted to restore. Nothing works. Help would be greatly, greatly, appreciated!
I had this issue several times with previous versions of ICZen...I saw an app in Xda called Nandroid Browser but i never used it...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA
Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't really solve the issue. Luckily I frequently backup with Titanium Backup so I was able to upgrade to rc1.4 and restore. Everything seems to be working. Maybe later I'll try what dougfresh suggested and try flashing the Glitch B6 kernel and try to see if the restore works. However at the current I think I'll hold off on any nandroid backups for a while .
i tried also to restore the nandroid after flashing another kernel and still had the same issue...maybe the problem is not with the restore but the backup with the previous versions of MP kernels...
Got an idea Noob. Try to do an advanced restore and restore everything one by one except the boot.img. if it is a kernel issue then this might be a way to bypass it for now until MP or Br1ck'd gets a look at it.
Hey noob, do you remember what kernel you were on when you made the nandroid backup? I think mikka is on the right track, probably an issue with the backup itself rather than the restore operation.

The kernel that was backed up was MP's "cwm-subZero-Vibrant-1.0.1VC_build26-BFS_BLN" kernel. However it wouldn't restore even when attempting to restore after flashing the build 26 kernel. It was a very odd issue, during which I couldn't even mount nor unmount /data in CWR. However it apparently works now. Perhaps I'll start testing backups again at a later date, I've already got everything setup again anyhow. I'm again settled down with your amazing work!
PS- Working on a "Royale with Cheese" boot animation. May take some time, but it's in the works
I got the same Can't mount /data! error when trying to restore a backup after trying a build of CM10.
I just did a wipe data/factory reset, then the restore worked.
I am used to making backups and restoring with CWR on my EVO but now that I have the Rezound and CWR does not work, I make Nandroid backups with Amon-ra but am not able to restore them. I read somewhere that some things need to checked while on recovery mode but I am not sure what. What do I need to do to make a proper Nandroid Backup? And also do I need to flash anything else after I restore a backup?
If restoring an ics build coming from ics(or gb to gb) no additional flashing should be needed. Should only be needing to backup system data cache and boot. If you do s-off exploit, you can restore boot.IMG directly through the nandroid.

I know for sure it works with amon ra. Flash it in recovery, I think it boots automatically afterwards into bootloader, flash the image, reboot and it will go back into recovery on its own then flash your nandroid. Then all should be well. Just flashing nandroid will not allow the phone to boot

I've restored several times through Amon Ra backups. I back up the usual stuff and the Android secure file. So far no problems at all.
I recieved my CLNR from verizon yesterday. Made a nandroid last night.
Today I have unlocked, rooted and now I am trying to restore my nandroid.
This is what it looks like:
x boot
x system
x data
x cache
recovery
sd-ext
x android_secure
android_secure_internalsd
perform restore
return
I hit perform restore and this is what happens
oops....something went wrong. Please check the recovery log!
What does that mean and where do I go from here?
Thanks

Thanks for TWRP! LOVE IT!
I have multiple nandroid backups that I would like to restore at any given time. Currently, I am trying to restore my CleanRom Standard 4.4 backup. I know I created the backup using an older version of AmonRa (I'm not sure which version). When I try to restore the backup, it error's out saying "oops...something went wrong! Please check the recovery log". Is it because I am not using the same version of AmonRa?
I wiped everything and reflashed the rom before attempting to restore the backup.
I made the backup on another phone and was S-On when it was created. I am currently on a new phone that is S-Off.
Does anyone know how I can restore this backup?
Thanks, and have blessed day!
My first guess would be you can't restore from another phone. The md5 wouldn't match. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I made a backup of my HTC EVO LTE Stock ROM in TWRP, I flashed CMX, now I want to go back to Stock, so I went to TWRP>Install, I can see my backup folder under /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/name of backup.. but I when I select the folder it does not give me the option to Install it. It just opens as an empty folder. I did notice the folder is not in a .zip format. Is this the reason why? Did I miss something during the back up process? And if so, how can I fix it? Is it as easy as just converting the regular folder into a .zip folder then try to install it this way?.. Please tell me not everything is lost, lol.. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

There should be a restore option on the main screen in twrp recovery. If you hit that it will allow you to choose what file you want to restore

Need to Restore But Getting Black Screen
Okay so my situation is similiar to the OP.
I was running CM10 then a custom sense Rom.
I made an original backup, but when I restore it I get a black screen at boot.
Typically when I flash a Rom I have to fastboot flash the boot.img which is no biggie, but there's no boot.img that I can find in the twrp backup.
Might be just as easy to flash a stock Rom, but not sure exactly where to find one. Everything I've found is rooted or custom in some way.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

The ROM I'm trying to restore is the original state of my phone. Would this be a stock ROM with a versioning date of October 28th(the day I got my phone and made the backup), current stock ROMs, or launch stock ROMs. Basically will any boot.img work from a stock ROM?
I do see the boot sector being written during the restore process. There is a boot.something.win file in the backup folder for the backup. Can this be fastbooted? I'm a bit timid to try that, but thinking it may be worth a shot...

Thanks for the quick reply, QuickWizard is very fitting. I actually got it after I finished going my own route though.
I grew a pair and went with my got and I went ahead and flashed the boot.emmc.win from the twrp backup in flashboot. It successfully got me booted and logged into the phone. That said the stock rom is so crappy...
But, I was having issues on CM10 with MHL, on a "stock rom with goodies" I was having radio issues with the latest firmawares, so now it's back to my rooted stock backup and I'm doing the HTC System OTA update... Should be interesting what happens next...
Again thank you all with the quick replies!
