I should probably post this in the dev forum but I don't have enough posts. And I should probably search first but I'm in this panic mode of being cut off from having a phone so I'm terribly sorry if this has been covered elsewhere.
I was running CM7.0.0.RC4 and decided to upgrade to CM7.0.3 and since all the other updates have gone so extremely well I decide to do this while in my car on a drive.
So first thing I did was Nandroid backup.
Then I wiped the cache and the davlik cache because that's been my recipe for success. Not thinking I also wiped the data/system stuff. Then I installed the CM7 update from a zip file.
I didn't realize what I did until I booted the thing and came up on a screen with none of my icons on it.
So I went into the reboot recovery screen and tried to do a Nandroid recovery but when I did that I just get the HTC screen staring back at me they pops up before anything else and it never seems to go anywhere else. I had to pull the battery to reboot it.
Am I doing the backup wrong? Does the Nandroid ISO have all my settings, programs, etc on it? If it doesn't I might as well do a fresh start.
When you do a Nandroid restore it should restore your data and system partitions as well (including your apps and settings).
When you do the restore, does it give you an error?
First off thank you for the reply.
I didn't see an error so I just did another restore to check.
1 error message pops up and it says
"sd-ext.img not found. Skipping restor of /sd-ext"
When I reboot I get the same thing, it hangs on HTC screen and never goes beyond that.
It's ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1

This is normal if you don't have an ext partition on your SD card (for apps2sd or simple2ext support).

It's certainly strange. My suggestion is this:
1) Boot into Clockworkmod
2) Wipe data/factory reset
3) Wipe cache partition
4) Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache
5) Partitions menu > format system
6) Install Cyanogenmod zip from sdcard
7) Install Google Apps zip from sdcard
8) Nandroid > Advanced restore > Restore data (don't restore the other things)
9) Reboot
Good luck.
Oh that's brilliant. I'll try that.
I've done a install of the CM7 and teh google tools and it started downloading all the apps that I had stored on the SD card so the only think I think I lost was some settings and my text messages but I'll try that anyway just to see if it will work. I have all my settings just the way I want them.
So I tried that and it didn't seem to do any better. None of my text messages were saved. I had to redownload all my apps again.
Now my SD card is almost full which doesn't make a whole lot of sense unless somehow the old versions of the programs are still on the SD card in which case if they are how to I clear that space up?
The other thing is while reinstalling some of the apps failed and I cleared the notification list because it was too long to sort through them all but now I can't figure out which apps weren't installed correctly. Can I bring up that error list again?

When you make Nandroid backups, it saves everything on your SD card under the clockworkmod folder. Each backup is saved by the date (GMT) when you did the backup. On a smaller SD card (like the one the phone comes with) even a few of those backups can eat up your SD card space quickly, so you should just go in and delete the ones you don't need from that folder.
When you did the Nandroid backup and Nandroid restore, did you go into ROM Manager to get to Clockworkmod? If so, you should try doing it the proper way -- turn the phone off completely, then use volume down + power to get to Clockworkmod. In general I would avoid using ROM Manager on an S-ON device like the Aria.
Also make sure the USB cable is not plugged in. it makes clockwork act crazy.

I've been doing the restore from the Clockwordmod bootloader menu. Turns out I made a backup of ADW settings and the desktop settings so I'm right back to where I was before the install just in a more round about way.
I am using the SD card that came with it but I'm thinking I might go get a larger one now. Is there any easy way to get all my apps onto the new card? Will just coping the content work?

If your current SD card doesn't have an ext partition on it (i.e., you didn't repartition it), then you can simply copy the entire contents over from the old card to the new card. It's as simple as that.
Ooo
Boot into CWM and go to advanced and then show log. see if you have any errors. I would personally do a partition wipe. If this works, from a running system, go to rom manager and do a fix permissions.
Ooo
Yes, from CWM, 4th option down. 'wipe cache partition'
You will lose only things that are stored in the cache. Similar to clearing cookies on a PC. Android will create a new cache upon next boot (which will take a little longer than normal)
Ooo
Might be your sdcard. Backup everything and format it with SDFormatter then copy your files back,if you keep receiving errors about sdcard you could have a faulty sdcard.
You could also backup your data with titanium backup, boot into CWM make a backup of current ROM and make a fresh install of a new ROM, there are stock, CM7 and MIUI as CWM flashable zips for easy install in CWM pick the one you need, flash it and restore your apps with titanium backup (preferably only app not app+data as you're getting databases errors).
Make a backup of your new ROM in CWM once you finish setting it up as you want for precaution. Remove your old backup.
NOTE: If you install CM7 again make sure you have latest build (Internal: Alpha12 | sdcard: Final). Also verify the md5 of the download so you know its not corrupted.

Spoke too soon. TB still won't let me backup due to insufficient storage space. Now it says that my SD card is 200mb and I only have 1mb free??? I took SD card out and put back in, no change, reboots no change. Evernote is complaining too. WTF How can a card just go bad??
Laptop is saying the same. Considering reformatting and trying again?

You mentioned that you flashed CM7 sd image right? so you have to resize the last partition to the end of your sdcard. Last partiton is the one that will act as "sdcard".

Using easus partition master, resized the last partition to use unallocated space and nook said 200mb SD card anyway. I don't get it.
----------
Used different software and partition resized. This time set up started which I didn't see before. All seemed fine, started adding some apps from the market since I have no backup.
Suddenly it rebooted and bypassed/ignored the SD card and booted into the previous set up. I powered off, removed/replaced SD card then booted but same thing. I started to post HERE and it rebooted with the SD card! Then it rebooted into the previous set up without the card.
Was.thinking of doing the internal install. Does this indicate a bad SD card or problem with nook seeing it? Considering a surface scan in windows?

It looks like because seems that the Nook Tablet unmount your sdcard or it unmount itself randomly, so if you are running a ROM from sdcard it's logical it will reboot because no system is found. Try with another sdcard if possible to know better if its a software issue or hardware sdcard issue.

Hi all, I built my sdcard per: http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/...r-nook-tablet/ (built by"Succulent")
My kids have two NT's. With two 16GB Sdcards, one class4 the other class 10. I know class4 is recommended, but one poster in forums said he's taken images of CM built on class4's and applied this image to class 10's in several cases and has had no problems. So I thought what the heck, can't hurt to try, so that's what I did (using Winimage). It booted fine 5 or 6 times for me, and I installed several APK's of games from Humble Bundle . I turned over the Nook to my little girl and she brought it back to me later showing she gets errors on boot, after swiping the lock symbol to unlock it. One is "Unfortunately, Talk has stopped". If you click OK on this, you get ""Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped". Clicking OK on this does nothing, it keeps popping up indefinitely. I don't know if the sdcard is hot pluggable (can be removed with power to the tablet), but she did admit to doing this. So I'm wondering if some corruption occurred to the CM build on the sdcard. Has anyone seen these errors? I could reflash it from the image I made off the class 4, but want to understand what happened so we don't run into it again. The funny thing is, I don't recall the startup wizard off the 1st class4 card prompting me with several screens regarding Google crap like it did on the 2nd card which was flashed from the same image. That was even after telling it I had no Google acct hoping it would leave me alone.
can anyone explain the boot menu you get when you press the N button? (I'm not including the faded selections) I'm wondering especially about the recovery options. Here's my menu:
INT BOOT ( I assume will boot to B&N native OS?)
INT RECOVERY ?
SDC RECOVERY ?
SDC BOOT (Iassume, boot to CM10 off sdcard?)
SDC ALTBOOT ?
START FASTBOOT ?

Yes,
internal boot - boots Rom in emmc
Internal recovery - recovery in emmc
Sdcard boot - boots your sdcard Rom.
Sdcard recovery - boots sd card recovery ( keep recovery.img in root of sdcard for it to load recovery)
Sdcard altboot - alternate recovery ( not necessary, unless you want both cwm and twrp at same time)
Fastboot - fastboot mode , fastboot commands to flash .img file etc with this method .
As for your problem, try entering recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache partition (I've done this on emmc version, never tried sdcard version of any Rom) this may solve the issue. If not try factory reset.
And removing sdcard while device is switched on is called hot swapping , hot plug is a CPU governor. Not sure if sdcard roms are hot swappable, but I think not.

emmc=internal nook memory I assume?
Oh, and...just to clarify, I haven't modified (rooted) my tablet. (you mention factory reset). I should mention that with the sdcard out, it boots B&N OS just fine.
And the part you say about wiping the two caches, so I should go into SD Card Recovery to do that? Once you get into it, you have various choices like the ones you mention? (I'd read that this choice was to backup your NT to sdcard). And please, I want to be very, very careful not to wipe out the B&N stock OS, so please, any detailed instructions you can give so I don't make that mistake, I'd greatly appreciate it. (I see so many posts on these forums about people bricking their Nook tablets it worries me.)

Um I don't know much about how it works for sdcard Rom. I've always only used emmc version. I guess if you were to enter recovery, it would access the stock cache partition by default , and we aren't trying to clear that.
Try this - use titanium backup (only talking about your sdcard Rom here, nothing to do with your stock) and in options, you may be able to wipe your cache or dalvik cache.
Or,
boot into your sdcard Rom, in settings > backup and restore > factory reset. This will delete all user data and return Rom to original Cm10 that you flashed on sdcard.
Or if it's only google talk and trebuchet launcher issue, install a new launcher (go launcher, adw etc) , then use titanium backup to uninstall trebuchet and talk.

From what I see, titanium backup is an android app. If I can't boot to Android (Trebuchet error loops as I said) I don't know how I can install this to do anything? Nor can I install another launcher or go into Settings as the error doesn't let you get any further.
I guess if there was a way to browse files/folders on the sdcard partitions on the sd to manually delete the cache files.....but if they're linux partitions (ext3 or4) you can't do that under windows...

In cwm, enter mounts and backup, then (if) you see /sdcard /cache, mount that and format that ONLY.
Do not format anything else as some options can brick device (Rom, bootdata, factory etc)
Wiping cache is safe (99%)
Again, I have never used sdcard Rom so I don't know what will show up in your recovery. But if you see something like sdcard cache, it can be cleared. If it doesn't specify sdcard, let us assume it refers to stock emmc.

Why backing up now when it's not working? Fix your issue, then make a backup. So the next time there's a problem you can restore to working condition.

Well, backing up, I think, was a good suggestion by Digimax. So I'm glad I did it. and now i know how to do it for future. Just in case anything EVER goes wrong, I'll always have that image now on my pc. Bad thing was, apparently B&N nook OS apparently keeps lots of APKs around after installing them. I had to make my 1st fat32 partition over 2GB for the entire backup to process without running out of space. backup size=1.6gb
I ran into lost chains - convert to cluster msgs trying to delete the folder of the first failed backup, but it never would delete even after a chkdsk, so I formatted the card and put the original image back onto it, adjusted the partitions, and then ran into a new probem.....the Cyanomod spinning logo never stopping spinning so it won't boot up. So I give up. I don't know if it's that it's a class 10 card that all these problems are happening. barring any other suggestions, I guess I'll make sure the other NT we have runs stable for a few weeks and if so I'll order another class 4 like that one has.

I don't know about your bootloop issue, but I don't think it's a sdcard class issue.
Anyhow, now that you have stock backup, aren't you going to consider flashing cm10 internally? Do you actually use stock?

I'm a little leery of it, at least while it's under warranty. I don't know how reliable recovery is.? Besides, my daughter wasn't thrilled with it being down for several days with me fussing with it and asked if she could have her "B&N boot" back I admit It is a bit of a pain having to pull it out of it's case, lift the flap, pop-in or out the sdcard to switch between them. (& also to have to remember to always turn it off b4 removing/inserting)
I may do it in the future though. Thanks for the help
FWIW, you don't have to actually remove the card to boot into stock. Just reboot, hold "n" to get into Cyaonoboot menu and choos "int boot" or something like that, and it will boot to stock with the sd-card still inserted.
Great, thanks for that tip!
Card died
I think many of these symptoms could have been caused by a dying card. It did have a corruption error once, and then it finally completely died. Just for anyone else that runs into these.

FWIW, /cache does not need to be backed up, which should help reduce the backup space requirement.
My partner's phone has suddenly decided of its own accord that it wants to reformat the internal memory, presumably due to some sort of unrecoverable data corruption. The message that came up informing us of that was something along the lines of "Phone memory is damaged. The data partition is damaged, you should restore your phone to factory settings. Doing so will delete all your data" and then a single button saying "Restore phone to factory settings". (I say something along the lines because that is a translation from the actual Spanish message that comes up)
So, she has a bunch of data that she would prefer not to lose (mostly backed up, but some apps not, and photos missing for last month or so of our daughter - usual story).
So I have been hunting around to see if it would be possible, and mostly what I have found isn't too optimistic. I did however find the following link that did seem somewhat promising:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705
So it is for the Nexus and the title refers to internal data, but then also refers to SD cards, but the process does seem to refer to internal data. I have a bunch of questions about the process in the context of an S3:
1. Anyone think this process is transferable to the S3? If so what is the equivalent data partition name? For the Nexus it appears to be /dev/block/mmcblk0p12. Would that be the same for the S3?
2. I am going to have to root this device first unfortunately (meaning I am going to have to write to the internal memory ahead of doing the RAW dump, obviously not ideal, but I see no way round it). Is the process described here (root only option):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439
appropriate, or am I going to need to somehow find out what version my partner was on (not 100% sure but I think it was 4.1.2) and adjust accordingly?
3. Do I have to have a fully working version before I can install busybox, or is that something that can be put in place using CWM?
4. Likewise do I have to have a fully working version before I can get ADB working or can I get ADB to work with CWM? I have found a couple of threads that suggest ADB works natively with CWM and others that suggest not.
5. I know how to turn on USB debugging if I can get into setttings of a normal Android system, but how do I do that without a working version, can that be done via CWM?
I guess basically I want to know what would be the minimal set of steps that I can run through to get Busybox installed on the phone, (presumably rooted) and talking ADB to my PC. I say minimal set of steps becuase the less writing I do, the more data might be salvagable.
I am surprised that there isn't some bootstrap version that can't just pull off the existing data and allow you to manipulate it elsewhere (which is what the process I have put the link to seems to do) but it seems much more involved than just a bootstrap.
Be gentle with me - I am just a noob!

if its only that I would do it a bit more simpler:
for app data: make a nandroid backup and after the reformat you can use nandroid manager to restore your apps and their data (if you simply restore the damaged data partition as a nandroid backup the problem could accur again). but maybe if the apps and data are damaged because of the damaged data partition they could maybe not be restored.
for photos etc. you can flash philz touch and then follow the steps in the main thread of philz touch on how to put the aroma.zip onto an external sd card (just search for aroma in the thread, you'll find it). aroma is like a file browser with root priviliges which can be executed through recovery. with that you can copy your photos onto the external sd card
btw. I am not sure if the standard factory reset wipes the internal sd cards data. if you only format your data partition photos etc. shouldn't be affected (for example through philz recovery you can just format data partition).
Data Recovery from sick galaxy s3 (installing custom recovery)
Thanks for that... that makes sense... any way I can get the custom recovery onto the phone without having already reformatted the data partition? All the methods I have seen for installing a custom recovery require normal access to the phone... and I don't have that at the moment - just to a screen that tells me that it will reformat the data partition - and I don't want to do that if I can avoid it - as it will modify the data I am trying to save.

Data recovery sticky ???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344125
Hi guys - just a quick question...
Haven't had an android based phone in awhile and evidently I've gotten quite rusty.
I needed to format my internal storage on my Samsung Galaxy S4 as it was not showing the correct available space (far less than should have been available). Decided I'd have to format it in CWM Recovery, so I backed up the entire 'Internal Storage' contents onto my computer, and having already done a couple recent CWM Recovery backups I just went straight ahead and did the format.
Rebooted and problem seemed to be fixed.
So I go back into CWM Recovery to restore and to my surprise I cannot find the backup anywhere.
To make a long story short, turns out when I backed up in the passed, I inadvertently had been saving the backups to the internal SD Card partition - which due to the wording I thought was external.
So I guess I've lost the backup files right?
Any chance in data recovery methods as outlined in this guide?
I still have the entire contents of the 'Internal Storage' directory - what's best way for me to proceed... really didn't want to have to set everything up again from scratch!
Cheers,
navieko
So what ya's reckon? Can I potentially recover the backup files via data recovery methods or is there another way?

You say you have copied all contents of Internal storage on your computer.
Which means you have backup of backup
Then search that contents for a folder named "clockworkmod". Copy it from your computer to newly formatted internal storage. Then go to CWM and you will see backups there.
No need for data recovery and things. And you don't have to start from scratch.
Press Thanks if helped.
