There's nothing else you can do if it remains frozen, so yes. Your device should be fine since it was just making a backup.

busybox installer failed on my phone too...it froze it, but then my phone just restarted, so i uninstalled busybox installer and titanium backup, because they are worthless in my opinion. i did a nandriod backup after i rooted instead.
why would you try and do a restore if the backup didnt work to begin with? or maybe i'm misunderstanding something u said.
i didnt know the back up worked or not at the time. is it normal for a backup to not work? any way it doesnt matter luckily i had attn1's froyo rom so i flashed that and know im running that instead. Only problem is that I have tofind all my apps and widgets again in the market ...

cant you go to your downloads history, or does flashing erase that too?
I tried a new rom out this morning (miui 1.12.30 {2.3.7} {1-1-2012}), liked the interface of the rom, but the phone started to heat up immediately. I need to do some more research of why this happened. So I decided to go back to Unammed via a nandroid backup. When restoring i get this error
.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.

Are you sure you wiped data and cache. Also dalvic. I always flash miui twice also. That happened to me once before and I re flagged and all is well. The reason it is overheating is cause it stays at Max frequency ( CPU). Anyways check out the Miui thread in development if you want to try it again.
As far as your restore error, I don't know.
One time at football camp, I put my shoulder pads in my arse.
I may try miui again in the future, just want to get back where i was before. Thanks.

I assume you have UnNamed back and all is working normally?
That message most likely means the restore was looking for something that was not present in the backup because it was not there to back up in the first place.

Yes, everything seems to be running fine, I'm wondering if miui installed something that a nandroid wont write over. I also noticed in cwm i can use the power button to select the option i choose, actually i can use both the home and power button now. So something has changed in cwm i believe.

sdcard/.android_secure is the hidden folder where apps2sd puts apps. It might be specific to cyanogen mod and miui, but not sure.
It happened when you first made your nandroid backup via cwm. The other day when I did a backup I watched it and saw the error skipping sdcard cause of no . android_secure . It has to do with cwm not being able to do a restore backup to our external sd. If you go in your external sdcard dir you will see the android secure file. So if next time you want your apps just move the file over for the backup and restore

Yesterday, while at work, I unlocked the bootloader. All went well. phone was wiped and after booting back up it starting installing all the apps from the market.
Now today I installed clockwork.
My question sis about the backup. I know i need to do a backup. Normally I would have installed the new recovery after unlocking the bootloader and then would have done a backup then of the clean empty system.
But now the phone has all the apps on it. Will the clockwork backup have all those in there? or does it do the OS only?
Or do I need to go through and uninstall everything and then do the backup?
Suggestions?

It will back up any apps and user data on the phone at the time of the backup. Your backup will be an exact copy of your phones system, data, and cache.

What if we don't just want it frozen, we want it completely removed? Like not even in the /system so a restore to factory default would even prevent them from coming back?
if it's frozen its gone from the app try and not hurting anything this will have to do unless you flash a custom rom
Hello, I have a major problem with something that should have been a minor project. I used System Recovery to do a backup of the phone. The only thing I can think of there that I might have done differently is save the backup to the external SD card, instead of internal. After the backup completed, I went to reboot the phone and it's stuck on the Motorola splash screen. I tried to pull the battery and go into that general Android Recovery in order to wipe data and try again, but I just get the Android with an exclamation point over his head. I've tried booting it without the SD card too. I was using CM7
Can anyone help please!
EDIT: A couple hours later, since it was my work phone, I had to do something. I reverted the SBF, re-rooted and tried to restore from the backup I made and the same thing happened. I'm going to try to revert to my previous backup. I have a full backup from Titanium Backup if it comes down to it. The phone was working fine, I just can't figure out why it blew up on me after I ran the backup. Grr..

sounds like a bad backup. i always use external sd for nandroids and it has never had issues.i would just re-flash. as for stock recovery with andy with an exclamation , push both volume keys. should work regardless of what state the phone is in. i have had it completely unusable and it still worked.

OK - You mean to flash cleanly with CM7 and then restore from Titanium backup instead of my previous nandroid backup?
I'm slightly confused about that System Recovery tool, because first I had ROM Manager and it says that CWM is installed, but it doesn't work. Do I have to manually install that System Recovery APK each time I do stuff like this, or does it stay installed? And if so, from a powered off state, how do you enter it? Or do you have to boot up to Android and enter recovery mode from the app? Thanks.

yes i would try that. second, dont use rom manager. dont delete it either. but it doesnt work on our phone. the bootstrap recovery that you install would only need to be reinstalled if you delete cache in recovery. otherwise it should always work. hope this helps. im not completely sure exactly what you are asking.
try just restoring system part of backup, see if phone will boot, then restore user data
or reinstall cm7 and restore just user data

I should be fine now, thanks for the advice. I don't know why that backup blew up the phone, but it was sure an inconvenience haha! I just reflashed CM completely, and now I'm gonna roll out my Titanium backup. I don't have a lot of stuff, just the essential stuff for work, so it shouldn't take too long.
