I'm on amonra 3.12b, I've tried several times to restore a backup. I was recently on Scott's GBE rom and wanted to try out Joelz new ICS rom. Well his ICS rom was giving me problems so I tried to restore the GBE rom backup, but my phone wouldn't boot up, I was stuck at a black screen, but it was still backlit.
I did the nand backup properly, I didn't get any errors. I left all the options as they where I don't touch anything with the check boxes. I then did a wipe/factory reset and then I restored the nand backup of the GBE rom I made earlier. It restored fine, no errors. I don't understand why my backups arent working? Thankfully I still had Scott's rom on my sdcard so I just flash that again and it worked. I have no problem flashing roms, for some reason I just can't seem to restore any backups.
Yesterday, I went through this same problem but with a different error. I was trying to flash Joelz rom but it wouldn't work, so I tried restoring my GBE nand backup but amonra gave me an error. "oops...something went wrong! please check recovery log".
As you can see I'm having a tough time troubleshooting this problem so any help would be very much appreciated, b/c it's getting to be a pain having to re-flash a rom every time I wan't to switch and having no safety net in case something happens, can't backup anything. Thx!
u gotta flash the the boot.img

Yeah...you will need to flash a GB kernel when going back to GB from ICS.

So if I'm on an ics rom and want to restore a backup that was on gb I need to flash the gb kernel after restoring the gb rom? And than vice versa..

That's correct but you may get a mainver error when you try to do that depending on what kernel/mainver you have.
I have run into that a couple times but it is simple to fix by editing the text file in the kernel to match the mainver version.

Or just flash the kernel in fastboot. Then you don't have to worry about mainver.

True, either way works fine.
I think it's easier to simply edit that file, but it's really easy either way.

Nand backup will restore to exactly what was running when it was saved.
Unless that rom he went to had the ability to use a diff kernel right? In that case he'd have to flash his old boot.img to get the original kernel back.. This seems to be one of the biggest reoccuring problems/questions on these threads. Everyone is so used to bringing back their nandroids to full 100% of where they were before, but that is not the case in the current state of s-on only.. I'm very glad we've already come so far but I think there is still a lot of confusion about rom/kernel flashing in particular how it relates to restoring a nandroid.

Well, that depends. If you upgraded to say, Android 2.3.5, then you have a different kernel and the kernel is NOT backed up via Nandroid. So unless you are still on the same android version, then you should SBF back to the base OS version you were on. This was tested extensively about a month or so back and it was determined that a nandroid restore doesn't restore the kernel.
Otherwise, nandroiding back should get you where you were before.

So if MIUI is saying that it is running Android 4.0.3, and CM7 is Android 2.3.7, then is it not ok to nandroid back to CM7 from MIUI?

Click to expand...

No, it should be fine. 4.0.3 is STILL using the same kernel. 4.0.3 is the OS version, not necessarily the kernel version.
Since the bootloader is still locked, flashing the DX2 MIUI still keeps the 2.3.4 kernel. All that gets replaced are the system files. So, nandroiding back to CM7 (which is what I did) is fine because you are still running the same kernel.
At least, that's how I read it when I researched a little on this and with some other people posting their explanations as well.
The reason you shouldn't flash 2.3.4-based ROMs over 2.3.5 is because the kernel version was changed. Remember, the kernel can ONLY be updated via a Verizon-approved OTA. The 2.3.5 update is not an official release, but it DID come from Motorola servers, so it has the signature in it that the X2 is looking for when the kernel is attempted to be upgraded. Hence, that is why flashing a 2.3.4-based ROM over a 2.3.5 image is not a good thing. Same goes with flashing a 2.3.5 ROM over a 2.3.4 image. It's just not a good idea and could pose problems down the road.

Ok, that makes sense. I figured it would be fine but didnt know the technical details.
I've flashed my 2.3.4 backups over 2.3.5 quite a bit since my cheesecake backup is 2.3.5 and I've never had any issues. Do we really know if the kernel changed? I never really looked at the kernel version on 2.3.5.

Back in December, I asked the question about nandroiding and if it replaced the kernel. Motcher (and ashclepdia) helped out with this one. Motcher SBF'd to 2.3.4 and then nandroided back to Eclipse 2.0.3 (which is 2.3.5) based and the kernel version came up as 00005 which is the 2.3.4 kernel. So, Nandroiding does NOT replace the kernel.
Here's the posted that he posted about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20808392&postcount=20
It may be that the differences are minor enough that it won't cause issues, but if the official 2.3.5 ever comes out, it might be best to always SBF back to 2.3.4 if you have to just to be on the safe side. I guess the moral of the story is, do this at your own risk.

No. That means the md5-sum hash key that was generated after the backup was created isn't matching with your nandroid backup. It means possibly your backup is corrupted.
Wiping the big three has nothing to do with nandroiding.
Uninstall bsr -either cm7 or orig. Then reinstall cm7 bsr. It worked for me On cm7. BTW Be sure not to use any spaces when renaming.

So im trying to reload my backup from my sd card. I have made 2 thus far and neither work.
I am on the Rogers network on a i747 with the dlk4 baseband. CWM, rooted, stock rom. When i try to restore it loads a few things (ie. system), and starts loading the DATA portion. Which at this point i get an error message. I reboot it, and my phone gets hung up at the samsung loading screen.
I have tried wiping the big 3 and also under mount and unmount i formated system before restoring as well with no success.
Could it be that my version of CWM is 5.5.0.4.. And, from my understanding I dont think it would be the cause, but maybe because i made the backup after being rooted and flashing cwm

I rooted my buddies phone for him pretty much so he could use wifi tether. Told him to make a nandroid before he does anything. He said he did. He called me this am and said he tried to flash an ics ROM from Scott's site and now his phone won't boot past the HTC screen. He said he tried to retire the backup but it didn't work nor did a factory reset.
Can I just get him to flash a GB based ROM and get him back to square one or must I get an ics ROM loaded up since he already tried to get that on there?
Can I just have him load the stock ruu for GB? Where can I locate that?
He might have forgot the pg98img?? I know it happened to me when i first had ics
What did you do to fix the problem? He has never flashed anything so he probably forgot something. Just trying to figure out what I need to do to fix his phone when I see him later tonight.

Your "friend" (lol, j/k) should be able to do a battery pull, get back into recovery and then just start the process of flashing a new ROM again. Have him wipe the cache and dalvik cache first. I don't know why the nand won't restore, maybe he didn't make it properly?
Is he using Amon Ra? CWM was known to be buggy on this phone, don't know if that has been addressed. If he's using CWM then maybe he should switch to Amon Ra. iirc it can also restore a nand made in CWM.

Thanks for the reply. My rezound is running smoothly! My buddy should have hit me up before trying to flash anything but he didn't. I'm running Amom but when I tried to install it on his phone it wouldn't take so I installed cwm. He said he made a backup but it won't restore. I will try to install Amon again on his phone and see if I can get his back up to work. I have a nand on my phone off the stock ROM. Do you think I can use my sd card in his phone and try to restore that or is it phone specific? I wouldn't think it is though
I don't know about restoring someone else's nand.
Also, if he gets a mainver error check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459347
But if you flash in fastboot you don't have to worry about mainver, it will flash no problem.
You can find out what mainver the phone is on in fastboot using the following command:

Hi guys,
Im new to the rezound but flashed several different froyo/GB roms on my DX so I know basics but Im a little lost between flashing between roms on the rezound since there are kernals and other stuff that was rarely messed with on the DX. Not to mention the DX had a linux iso to flash to OTA froyo and GB which would be nice if someone did that for the rezound, would deffinetly be worth a donation!
Im currently on Scotts cleanrom 4.3 standard. I unlocked the bootloader with the htc coded and have the amon ra recovery installed, and when i flashed the rom i installed the patch, then flashed the ph98img file (ph98img is a kernal?). I tried going to rezrom v3.4 earlier today and once I finished setup I would go into a bootloop. It was sense 3.6 so I didnt think there were animations to disable or anything weird, Im not sure I missed a step or used the wrong file. I ended up just flashing back to cleanrom till I figure this stuff out.
So how would I go about switching to other ics roms, what do I need to worry about/look out for in regards to compatability?
Also What do I need to do to go back to stock so I can get the OTA ics when it comes out (if I even want to)? I did do a nand backup and some backups with titanium pro but I just hope I saved the right stuff.
Thanks for any help!!

That is a lot of questions, but I'll answer what I know:
(ph98img is a kernal?): It can be several things, so you just need to know what you are installing. In this case it was probably a firmware patch.
I tried going to rezrom v3.4 earlier today and once I finished setup I would go into a bootloop: You will need to install the RezROM patch after you install the ROM. It will fix the bootloop.
So how would I go about switching to other ics roms, what do I need to worry about/look out for in regards to compatability?: Read the instructions in each ROM's OP. It will tell you what is compatible and what you will need to do to make it work well. There may be issues going back and forth from ICS to GB, but usually the instructions will give you a heads up. In any case, ALWAYS do a nand backup before flashing.
What do I need to do to go back to stock so I can get the OTA ics when it comes out (if I even want to)?: I believe there is a thread on this. I haven't done it, so I can't help on this question.
Good luck!

You can't flash it backwards and you can't go back to a factory-locked bootloader, but other than that the RUUs accomplish the same thing as a DX SBF.

PH98IMG.ZIP is a reserved filename. If you boot to the firmware menu the Rezound will automatically flash anything in a file by that name in the root of the SD card. Apparently HTC uses different numbers in the file name reserved on each phone, and the Rezound is "98". Other than that, there's no telling what's in the file -- it can be a huge ROM or just a tiny kernel patch.

Easiest way is to flash the leaked ICS RUU. I think in your case you have to actually extract the PH98IMG.ZIP file and flash it manually. And while that's supposedly a release candidate, it's still having a few problems with battery life and heat, so you might not want to flash it till the OTA you want is actually released.
Thanks for the help guys, that helped
Ugh... I had those exact same problems and questions and I even came from the DX.. HTC is so complicated. I'm frustrated with not being able to flash any other roms other than Scott's CleanRom.. The Ph98img.zip file always makes me reboot the phone and when I do delete it and get back to recovery, I am always in a bootloop mode with BAMF and RezRom.

I don't know about BAMF, but with RezROM, you just need to flash the patch in his post, after getting rid of the PH98IMG file. That will cure your bootloop problem.

Just use the search on this site and type in how to remove ph98img.zip . Only reason I say that is because there are a few threads about the issue and a few different techniques. Easiest, I just used my old OG droid to remove the file if I bootlooped. If you don't have an old phone, using a cheap card reader pop it into that and remove the file. Booting into recovery if you can get into it , then mount the card and remove file.
Like I said , not trying be an ass telling you to search I just can't recall all the different ways.

Also , another way to switch between roms. If you make a nandroid of the roms and use Con's nandroid recovery helper http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547496
Posted here and then follow directions in using it and you can then "swap roms without having to restore the kernel separately.

I've read where there are ways to do this via adb commands, but what I've had to do lately is simply pull the SD card and either put it into a reader or another cell phone, delete the file, then put it back into my phone, boot into recovery, and then flash the patch. I know, it's a PITA, but until we install the new firmware, that's just the way it is.
the way that i do it is hold the battery partially out so you can start it with the sd card partially out... boot into bootloader and click recovery.... then you can push the sd back in... next while in amon ra go to developer menu and select the delete phimg option.
yes this can be tricky but it works when you dont have a sd adapter
This is what I'm running right now and I'm not too happy with it. And also to add that I am unable to launch a few apps and sync contacts pictures to GoSMS.

Just wipe in Aron Ra and then restore from your nandroid. I commonly jump from Rom to Rom, just make sure you wipe in between.

Thanks guys. I'm not sure what is wrong with my phone. Clean ROM 4.3 was the only one that would work for me, until this morning. I finally got RAGE1.8 to work. All other ROMs would boot loop, including all Clean ROMs after 4.3. I had been reinstalling Clean ROM and then restoring the nandriod, I'm glad I can skip one step if I need to go back.
Make sure you wipe before you restore a nandroid. If you don't it could cause it to bootloop.
Also if you're s on it could be an issue with kernel compatibility

I am S on. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought loading the PH98IMG file in the bootloader was loading the kernel.
First, you really should S-Off, it will make it a whole lot easier, it will allow you to jump from Rom to Rom a lot easier. Be careful because some new roms call for the latest firmware to run correctly.

It has to be the ph file from the rom you are on
