I'm using LOL 1.42 and every time I Nand restore it, my internal memory is almost full and sd-ext almost empty. I have to rebuild dalvik in order for data to go in sd-ext as they were before i backed it up. My back up is 'Nand + ext'. Have no idea if this is rom related or something else.
Is this usual? This happens only after I restore a nand
which recovery are using thunderg 1.2 or lower version is recommended as there is restore problem in 1.2.1
I use 1.2 not 1.2.1 Both back up and restore are done with the same version.

i am rooted and have so far enjoyed aloysius v11 and v12, evil eris, zen express. but lately any new roms that i try to flash i get a boot loop. no matter what rom i try now it boot loops.
i did nand and can always restore to my curent stable fave aloysius v11.
any idea why i keep boot looping? is it my sd card? i even tried a diferent card and same thing ( i was trying to flash celbfroyo)
Boot into recovery, and wipe it. Go to wipe, then a full system wipe and after that, whip the dalvik cache. Then flash whatever rom you want, then restore via nand.

i wiped and did dalvik before flashing.
what do you mean by restore via nand?
1-f.s. wipe/dalvik wipe
2-flash the new rom
3-restore the new rom via nand?
I mean go to Backup/Restore, and hit Nand Restore. All that does is restore your apps, settings, contacts, etc. It has no affect on your rom, just like how wiping has no affect on your rom. That way, if you want Evil Eris, but have Kaos Froyo, you can wipe, then flash and then restore while still having the new ROM.
If that doesn't work, though.. I'm not sure what to do.

Okay thanks for clearing that up. I'll give it a shot.

100% wrong.
A Nand restore on the Eris restores the following partitions:
/system (the O/S or "ROM")
/boot (the kernel, initial ramdisk, and initialization scripting for the "ROM")
/data (settings, application state, your data)
+ SD card /ext{2,3} partition (if you did a Nand+ext backup).
That boils down to pretty much 100% of the OS and the application settings and data.
Some bootloops are caused by ext3- or ext4- partitioned cards, depending on which ROM is involved. You might try seeing if you get a different result using no SD card, or an SD card which only has a single FAT32 partition.

Oh ****, sorry then. I was under the impression it only saved your data. :/
My bad man.

Thanks!! I'll try the no sd card idea.

So I can use the sd card to load the rom. But remove it before I reboot?
Hello
Here is my story
I was trying to upgrade to ICS by flashing the latest stock ROM XXLPS that I got from Samfirmware.
1- on the first try I did not perform a full wipe, the ROM was a no wipe ROM so It upgraded and all my apps are kept there,. after a while I start facing errors and restarts so I fall back
2- on the second try I flashed the ROM then I did a full wipe/factory reset. It was working well until I rooted it using CF-root and started to restore my apps using TB. I noticed that the problems are coming from Apps installed on external SD, sometimes it was unmounted automatically
Anyway I did a fall back using a CWM restore, I noticed after restore that CSC and baseband are still the ICS ones ? I thought that CWM backup and restore everything??!!
I have also had the same experience once....
when we select advance restore we can find these:
1) Restore Boot (which include boot image and Kernel)
2) Restore System (complete system files)
3) Restore Data (user data like apps and user data etc..)
4) Restore Cache
5) Restore Sd-ext (if we set a partition for applications in the externel SD card)
Unless the CSC is already integreted in system (2nd item) I believe these 2 items, especially baseband, are not backed up normally from CWM, otherwise there should be a restoring option too .....
Especially if you go from one generation to another (Gingerbread to Icecream e.g.) its more complicated to go back a step. You should flash a base Gingerbread ROM from samfirmware e.g. with ODIN (not a CWM version) and then try to restore your Gingerbread backup.
After you flashed the base you may change CSC before you restore your backup. This is the cleanest way to get back.
CWM nandroid is not what we know as a real image backup of a PC.
Thanks guys for the clarifications
BTW regarding the upgrade to ICS what is the best option to do it and restore back the apps or keep them ?

This you have to do with Titanium back up not with CWM back-up...with Titanium Backup pro you can restore applications from nandroid (CWM) backup.
there should not be any problem while you restore only apps on the ICS, some may not work, just unsinstall such...better you select it individually and install... but dont attempt for any system data restore....
This is exactly what I have done, i tried to restore using TB but from backup taken by TB and not from Nandroid.
It was working fine but later start to hang and restart. I noticed that the issue is coming from applications installed on external SD? Is there any issue with ICS or CF-root kernel and external SD card?

try moving all apps from ext sdcard to phone for a while and check for any issues like hang or restart
I found an open issue related to crash and reboots when a large number of apps are installed on sd card.

I just flashed cm7 2.2.1 and im wondering how to restore my apps back to my phone? or isnt it possible? my sd card has alot of space like 1.4gb before i flashed the rom, and now i almost have full space and im thinking of deleting them and start to a new one if restoring isnt possible, if i delete those things on my SD card, will there be a problem on my phone?
if you have a previous CWM backup from your early version of miniCM7 2.2.0 , you can restore your data, just reboot into recovery, select backup and restore, select advance restore, select your backup, and then select data.img, but make a backup of your miniCM 2.2.1 first
Titanium Backup could be a great tool aside from the one option mention earlier. you can even select what apps to do back up and restore.
Hello guys,
I have a question. Lately I have been running into problems with Making/Recovering Nandroid backup's.
Right now, I wanted to make an Nandroid backup of my current stuff so I can move to CM10 again. I enter recovery, start a backup, it fails while doing /data. So I try again, but this time to Internal Storage. It took a very long while, then it failed. I rebooted, it seemed I was "low on storage". I checked that failed Nandroid backup on my Internal SDcard, I saw it was over 6GB's
So yeah, weird stuff. I'm running the last 5.xxx version of normal Recovery (so not the touch one or the 6.xxx) one. If really needed I will enter recovery so I can give the exact version.
edit: v5.8.4.5
One known recovery problem can be if you are using a different recovery version to the one backed up with .
jje
Tried it again to external sd card, ended up with a failure /data. Off course the backup was 4.7GB's and my SDcard got full.
Why is my phone going rage mode and making gigantic nandroid backup's?
Flashed latest recovery from ROM Manager (6.0.1.0) and it seems fine now.
If I restore back up I made with CWM with it will it flash Rom too?
I mean let's say I have stock Samsung Rom then I flash the cm back will it be like flashing new cm Rom but with my apps and settings already?
Restoring android backup take your phone exactly at the moment the backup was done. Rom, kernel, apps, data, everything.

A Nandroid backup takes images of your partitions.
If you want to restore a previously made Nandroid backup, enter Recovery Mode select Restore. Everything should go back to how it was when you made the backup.
If you choose the ‘Advanced Restore’ option, you can select which component of the backup to restore – like the boot, system, data or cache.
Downloaded apps, apps and OS settings, contacts, messages are backed up in data (/data)
boot has the initrd.gz and zImage.
system has the system files (/system)
cache has the cache (/cache).
SD-ext has the ext partition
