Is it possible to do a Nandroid Restore through ADB? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can I do a nandroid restore via adb? I can't do it through clockwork because ever since i flash this aospis 2.2 rom I can't do anything with recovery.

I think your only option if you cannot get to CWM recovery is to ODIN back.
With adb you can put your phone into download mode
adb reboot download

Tried download mode but it doesn't recognize my phone in download mode. It only recognized it when it was on. The moment I adb reboot download it automatically disconnects me from odin.

Can you get into download mode manually?
Hold both volume kyes and insert the usb cable while the phone is off?

Yes, but odin won't pick up the phone. Tried disconnecting usb and plugging it back and it still won't work

What version of ODIN?
Try 1.57 or 1.58 (not sure, I am not a Windows user)
hmm, maybe try different USB port or PC altogether?
There is also an alternative to ODIN http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/ for those of us who have no access to Windows, however it has windows binaries.

I'm going to try another computer when I get a chance. At least I'm on a working 2.2 rom that has a working gps

[Q] Stuck on samsung boot/computer wont recognize phone

So my phone crashed after flashing a test kernel for Powerwash 1.2. Everything was fine until the phone froze on the camera app and i had to do a battery pull. Now the phone stays stuck on Samsung's logo. I tried going into recovery and doing a reset but it just stayed stuck. So i plug my phone into download mode and prepare to Odin back to EB01 when my computer tells me it doesn't recognize my USB. I go and reinstall the drivers but STILL it wont recognize my phone so I can't Odin OR Heimdall. i'm at a loss... can anyone help?
ANYONE? anyone at all
Sounds like you need a complete reinstall with odin. Keep trying to use download mode. It will eventually recognize your phone just keep trying.

Do you have access to another pc? I would try odin on different machine

Try using different ports installing correct 64 or 32 bit drivers. use stock cable. Try updating your os. And try a different computer.

Hey there.
I am using a custom rom (IMM76D UCLE2) and when I plug in my phone to back up to kies it doesnt find the phone. I have the USB drivers installed.
I noticed at the top its showing connected as a media device. I should be able to see it in my computer???
Any idea

Unplug the phone.
Reboot pc, start Kies
Put phone in download mode
Connect phone to pc
Also, try recovery mode

My head hurts from trying to understand the above.
Let me see if I can make some sense of it:
You installed Mobile ODIN on your P7500, downloaded the ICS ROM, and tried to install it.
Apparently Mobile ODIN failed and immediately rebooted.
Now the tablet displays something about cache.img during restarts. That means that it's not totally dead, though.
You need to boot it into download mode and use PC ODIN to flash your ROM.
However, while you can get into download mode, your computer doesn't recognize the tablet.
You've tried several USB ports with no change.
You can't boot into recovery since that just gets you Mobile ODIN.
If you boot it into download mode and your PC doesn't recognize the tablet - especially if it doesn't see anything in device manager when you connect it, your cable is bad. Replace it. Then use PC ODIN to flash your ROM.

you need to have the samsung usb drivers installed
download Samsung Kies and install it, it will also install the drivers

Download mode "waiting for cable + NO Recovery (Blanked)

So i was attempting to originally run a firmware through odin and had auto reboot checked when i shouldnt have.
I now have a tablet that boots up with a back light screen and functions as a normal tablet, but i now have a blank recovery
and i cannot use download mode anymore. ive tried drivers, different computer, the works. No recognition in download mode.
i do not have root and am running 4.0.4
please help :X
Hmmm.
Auto reboot shouldn't have damaged anything in particular. Its exactly as it says - whether you want the tablet to reboot after you've finished flashing a rom.
Just a few questions so that we can help you easier,
-What do you mean by a blank recovery?
-Does the tablet charge via AC? That'll determine whether it is a cable problem or whether it is something else.

Yes the tablet charges by cable. If I choose recovery option I get a back lit black screen, download mode completely unrecognizable. Currently only boots into standard android.

If u mean that u can go into download mode but can't get a PC to see the device.... I would uninstall the drivers and Odin..reboot PC and reinstall drivers and Odin. Then try. If that doesn't work try a different version of Odin and/or drivers.
I have a Q and A thread with the necessary Odin files and cwm recovery to root the p7510...there is also a link to a qbking77 video.
Good luck...
My problem is I've tried different PCs drivers and Odin files and my tablet still only says waiting for cable in download mode

well then we're down to the old battery drain trick....its been awhile since ive had to tell somebody how to do this....so give me until tomorrow night and ill see if i can find some good links to guides for you...
in the mean time you can google battery drain, bootloader, download mode and just about every other word combination you can think of for this method.....
..... which is to drain the battery to absolute zero...take it out...put it back in...plug the device in...and before the charging screen comes on you need to boot into the bootloader...
i know...sounds crazy,but ive seen it work time and time again...now those werent the exact steps...but i thougbt you would .eed atleast some sort of over view if you are going to go google hunting with me..lol
Same problem
I've the same problem. I'm trying to install Android in a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the download mode has "waiting for usb cable". Odin doesn't recognize it, adb doesn't either. The tablet doesn't have an OS. Tried several usb cables, computers. It doesn't have an sd card slot to install from there.
I'm really at lost here , please help
