I've been flashing ROMs for a friend and, obviously, nandroid backing up whenever I do something. However, whenever I try to restore it gives an error. Upon checking why, it is because the backups I make only backup the boot.img.
Is there a recovery that works properly?

As far as I know, nandroids only back up system. Maybe this changed in 2012 idk, but are you sure you're doing it right

I'm booting into CWM recovery and choosing backup. All other phones I do this on backs up everything. Restoring puts your phone exactly how it was. I've been flashing ROMs for years so I have no idea why it only backs up boot.img.

Do you have more than one back-up at the same place? If so it happened to me before when i do more than one back-up: it messes them up.

If I try a rom not for my phone and then nandroid restore, will it restrore my old kernel as well? Or will I be stuck with the wrong kernel for my phone. I dont want to be stuck with non working hardware keys or something crazy.

Yes it restores everything including the kernel.

Good to know.
Hey guys, I have the twrp recovery (non touch screen version) and a lot of the times when I try to restore to sense (from miui) it just shuts off half way during the restore. Btw this is with more than 50% of battery life. Has anyone else been having issues with this

Try wiping before restoring

There are two versions of twrp, each can only restore backups that were made with that version

so id need to flash the sense rom and then restore it??
Idk what you mean. If you made a nand with the old version of twrp you need to flash that version them flash the nand, then flash the new twrp and nand it. Then you would have a band that could be flashed with the current 1.1.xxx twrp

I think what he's saying is that if you made a back up using the old 1.0.3 version of twrp it won't work on the 1.1.1 version which was the latest one before the touch interface recovery.

I have twrp v1.0.0. Whenever I flash miui and then decide to restore back to my sense rom through nandroid restore, it would just shut off.
Then I'd have to reflash the sense rom and start over..
To get sense to fully restore without my phone just shutting off halfway through should I flash sense, reboot the phone, then reboot to recovery and restore??
I hope this makes sense guys.

Try it. I had a similar issue, except it didn't shut off. Mine would just stop half way through restart. I ended up having to wipe and start over because somehow my nandroids got corrupted.
Comcastrated
u might want to try to flash recovery again. I had this issue with twrp. Some backups would not restore. I went back to cwm.
This happened to me also it ended up being how I renamed the backup.

Same thing happened to me on the OG Evo. At the time, did not know that renaming them would not let them restore properly.
I have problem with twrp recovery.when i restore nandroid backup the restoration is complete without any problem but when i start the phone after starting screen phone goes to recovery mode.this is happen in all backup of different rom.
This is also happening to me. It gets really frustrating because I have to start from scratch once that happens.

So there is no solution for this problem?
Could a flashed modem be responsible for why my phone dies when its been on a lock screen for a while or will it be the rom.?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Most probably it's the ROM.
I think that something in the ROM it's the guilty, maybe if you try fix permissions
Why not back up with Titanium, do a CWM backup and try flashing a new ROM? You would be able to go straight back if you wanted by restoring the CWM backup.
Thanks guys in the end I went with a restore from an earlier backup works OK probably the from.

I had the same issue, backup would hang, I tried internal and the real SD card backups. all hung around 98%
I ended up flashing another modem down from LC5 (kk6 i think) and backup worked, then it stopped working again. My thought is it was a false positive. I ended up flashing another kernel version and I could then backup via CWM.
So give that a whirl.
Sounds like it should work ill get to it when I'm near a computer thanks!
