Nandroid restore keep failing - G1 General

When I do a Nandroid recovery in fastboot, it always fails when it is writing the boot file.. Could it be that when I flash the recovery.img file, the Nandroid didnt install properly.. Does anyone have a link to the rooted recovery.img file?
Thanks

If you are more specific about what happens when it fails you will be more likely to get help.

i'm sorry but you are the type of person that i wish would ask me this question in person, if you were to ask me right now then i would raise my right foot very fast right up into your piss pump. you need to learn how to search PERIOD, and if you want help with something you have to give us devs a little more info as to WHAT is it doing. you can either search the forums or we can close your thread(but it's probably gonna get closed anyways)

Every single post I've read from you has a douchey holier than thou attitude to it. Get over yourself. Go get laid instead of flaming everyone.
And yes, I do realize that a lot of these people don't search.

actually i am quite helpful when people have an actual question and even occasionally when tehy are redundant. i stated that the question was redundant and if they wanted help we needed more info about what exactly the phone/computer is doing. i will not hold this conversation here, if you have anything further to say then please PM me.

Nandroid backup never worked for me either on any of the phones I've flashed. Luckily none of them have ever needed it. I have JF1.42 recovery on all the phones I've flashed, there is a 1.43 Recovery also that I know of. Check out this post for more info on Nandroid:

i agree totally, we were all new at some time but 3 threads on the same thing and not even in the right thread, google and search engine here are your friend
oh i get it .you have a point hu! obvious!, but obviously i didn't get the help i needed ,and maybe just maybe that's why i re posted it the thread .thank you.and your very welcome!
I really don't appreciate you trying to make me look or seem dumb! or what ever it is that you are trying to do .Yeah! you might be good in this forum, but I can put you aside and tell you that you are not good at everything!. trust!!
A simple answer like, "we cant help you" would had been a perfect end of conversation Answer. Now you think about that SIR!
keep a simile on here
I wasn't trying to "burn" you. If you didn't get your answer, why didn't you respond to your own thread. If you had a question about something and asked someone, if their respond wasn't "complete", would you rephrase the question and attempt to get more information or would you not say another word, walk away and ask another person?
I wasn't trying to rub my being good at anything in your face. I understand you are upset because you think I was, and that is why you "attacked back." In this forum, if you didn't get the answer the first time on that one thread, you're not going to get the answer because either no one knows or you didn't ask the question in an answerable way, or it has already been answered a billion and one time and we are tired of answering. Posting the same question three times only gets people even more annoyed. The end result will be that people will be even less likely to reply to you. Just like in real life, if I went up to you and asked you a question, then I completely disregarded your answer as irrevelant, and moved on to the person next to you, the person next to you will probably not think very highly of me.
In short, as I already said, recycle your thread or search. That's the best way to get an answer. Heck, it's really the ONLY way.

... thought about it.... burn!
seriously tho, it wasn't a knock on you. you just did the typical "newb" thing and posted a question without really looking. 99.999% of us (me included) have done that. we want instant answers with minimal effort. sometimes you'll get it, sometimes you won't. sometimes a jackass like myself will shout out "burn" and laugh for no good reason. it's all in fun.

What do you mean by increase speed? If you mean CPU, have you tried using Battery Status (I think that's what its called) You can over clock your CPU with it, but it comes with a use at your on risk warning.

Downgrade 2.1 to 1.29 to Root???

Is it possible? Theunlockr gives a link to download 1.29 but since so many on here are trying to root 2.1 I'm guessing it's not possible.
No. Not possible. Done. Mods close thread.

The OP wasn't asking anything out of the ordinary. Giving attitude, flaming, and trolling will take things nowhere, particularly not from our stand point. Please consider not posting like this anymore since you are breaking all three of the aforementioned rules. Consider this a friendly warning.
No it is not possible. You will have yo wait till someone roots the 2.1 release. Next time do a search before posting.

You can not root 2.1 and the phone will not allow you to downgrade the hboot so you can not go back from 2.1
There is a thread in the dev forum. A couple people are trying to find a work around to either downgrade or just a plain old exploit to gain root. Keep a look out for it.
And another one gone...

Dude man up. How did he flame? "No. Not possible " that's a pretty straight forward answer to the ops question. So one has to go on a rant now to answer a stupid question that has been asked 264510937381996 times before otherwise you hurt feelings?
Lesson #1 on forums.
Dont argue with mods or admins...you will lose...every time....always.
It took many years of getting banned to learn that.

In my field thats a form of Subordination. I have modded for many years and ran my own forums, if i was a Mod/Admin here i would see it like that... But honestly, dude im not busting your chops regardless i was just pointing out a simple rule which wasnt directly or indirectly pointed at you. You talk about feelings running high here well everyone at one point or another was a newbie so since my feelings are now directly involved at this point i feel that yes... Some of the comments here that i have seen especially to newbies are complete irate, irrational and overall douche like.
And now you know... And knowing is half the battle!

I don't think it was the "No. Not possible." part that was the issue, it was the "Done. Mods close thread." part that was a bit rude. It came off that way to me anyways. A simple "Not possible" would have sufficed.

OK I agree because even I can be a fool to noobers. I was talking about this thread, not in general though.
My feelings were never hurt because I understand how some people do not have lives and just go from post to post being assholes to strangers on the internet to make up for their non-existent social life in the real world. As far as it being a stupid question, sorry that I did not perform a search. I looked at the posts from the first two pages in this forum and didn’t see anything. Either way, have a nice day. I will be sure to search before I ask a question that takes up so much space on this website. Get a life.

But honestly I believe most people on this forum are pretty good people despite being quick to action, but a good number are just playing don't mind them much.

Can we stop bashing new people in here please

I am starting to see when a new person who has no idea of how things work asks a question and gets bashed. Iam wondering do any of the xda-developer vets want xda-developers to grow or die out? New people once they learn how things work , might later start developing new and exciting products. Can we please show them some respect. Thank you for reading!

Somebody needs a nap ....
But on a serious note I guess we should just stop having rules altogether ....
If bashing people is what you call expecting people even newbs to follow the rules then I guess bashing it is ...
Not totally disagreeing with you, but partially , yes sometimes vets are harsh with newbs, but if 500 people walked up to you and asked you the same question over and over how long would it take for you to get tired of it ....
ok then i just have my rule
Well I dont want to continue because it seems the majority of vets are annoyed at new users. So now I will have this rule from now on to make things simple. Any time I see this behavoir towards newbies , I will post a link to www.ppcgeeks.com . So since newbies are a problem to the vets here, I will redirect them to different website. That should handle all the problems.

XDA will grow no matter what but if you think that XDA is more interested in the number of users it has, you are sadly mistaken.
It's very easy to pop in here and create ANOTHER useless thread asking everyone to be nice to the newbies.
All the senior members here were all newbies once. All the chefs and developers were newbies too. They didn't get to be where they are by starting up useless HELP ME threads because they were too lazy to get off their behinds and help themselves.
I've been here since 2006 and my post count very recently crossed 500. I've hung out at XDA almost every single day since the day I officially joined and about another year before that without being a member. I've learnt A LOT over here and given everything that I've learnt, if I were to have posted a HELP ME thread everytime I wanted something, I would have probably raked in about 10k posts by now. Think about how many threads and posts we would have from heavily contributing members if they were to take the HELP ME route.
I've been around here so long and know enough people here that no one would have an issue with me opening a thread for any query that I have, yet I don't... why? because XDA is a repository. Every question that anyone can think of has already been asked and has already been discussed.
I can understand how overwhelming everything can be for a newbie, but that still doesn't excuse the HELP ME threads. SEARCH, Look around, do your due diligence and you will find what you need. Nothing comes easy. You have to work for it. Google Search makes things exceptionally easy. Use it and stop crapping this place up.
Honestly, IMO, the mods here are really nice. Too nice infact. People here get away with just about anything. If you guys think people here are tough then you haven't seen how strict things are around the internet. I swear to god, if I was a mod here, the trash can would be overflowing.
Please... stop these incessant rants.
@zarpy.. PPCGeeks is miniscule compared to XDA. Trust me, the mods and the members over there take care of their forum more aggressively than XDA. It's only a matter of time before they start booting LAZY newbies.
Yeah I agree with this, I find it funny like people were born with the knowledge and talk to people who are clueless like they were never in there shoes before. I myself just got a HD2 not to long ago never really used a phone of the sort with apps and etc. I am however tech smart with PCs and like to learn on my own as it benefits you in the long run so I've picked up the basics just by doing. But not everyone is tech smart especially with phones as a lot of it I do not have a clue what it means even though I am tech smart, but I'm learning what does what slowly and how to install different types of apps, games, and themes
If some of you veterans with these phones disagree with this, your simply a liar and should go play in a fire

I can see both sides of this point... Yes the search feature is important, and relitivley easy. Most of the bashing is because people dont use it.
But have you all ever stopped to think about this lil situation?
You are looking for an app, but have no clue what it is called???
Or you are from another country, and have difficulty writing English, even though you can speak it clearly enough.
Then there are the noobs that have no clue (like my self) and come looking for help or ask a question to learn.
Many crash in flames because the people who know the answers, only shoot em down. Even after using the search feature. (yes I have seen this situation here as well)
The easy solution is to just not post a flaming bash to the question, or better yet, just dont post anything at all. Someone that does know and has compassion will answer at some point. Or the person asking will do a search or search again or at some point.
It takes more effort to post a bash than it does to point them in the rite direction and teach the noobs.
The old saying "if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all" REALLY fits here.
Question for all of you to ask your self... When you signed up here, did you READ ALL of the rules before you posted? I'm willing to bet a very small percentage did infact, READ ALL of the rules. So many (not all) of you really have no room to point fingers.
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS ROFL AT THE OP!!!
OMFG you actually started a thread because someone detailed a few rules!!
And the example you posted of getting bashed....i just reported the entire thread for closure as it is a complete waste of time...much like this one!!
Thanks for the chuckle over breakfast... most hilarious!

Ok the reason you would get bashed is if your asking easily findable questions.
Someone ask a dumb question i think they should get bashed, before i answer ANY questions i google search for an answer, if i find one on the first page, the the person asking the question will get no answer and flamed/bashed.

I run 2 HUGE threads in this forum, and i got that sick after the thousands of idiots that couldnt even be bothered to read the instructions and just posted things like "Help i cant do it"

Yes
and initially i asked stupid questions and i got flames and bashed, but i wasnt a ***** and i didnt cry about it ans start threads asking people to stop bashing me.
i learnt that if i was getting bashed there was a reason and i accepted that, where as now we hae the folowing:
1: Guy ask Stupid Question
2: Vets Bash
3: Guy crys
4: Guy opens more threads asking about "why am i getting bashed"
5: vets see the thread and get more P*ssed dish out mroe bashing
6: Guy crys more
7: Guy posts the eg of why he gets bashed in the new "why am i getting bashed" thread
8: Vets come along and thing WTF is this guys problem is he stupid?
here is the ULTIMATE easy solution
Search using xda search, search using google search, when posting your question past in the URL for the results of your search so people can see how you searched/what terms you used
then i Guarantee there will be no flames, and probably a few suggestion on changing search terms etc
Read and Search is the key to not posting usless threads

I know alot of people read Mystics Genius post and thought damn cavemen exist in this day and age.
Laughing my a&+) off hahahaha you said 8 years ago you got bashed here by olipro. Your join date is 2008 its 2010 .....hahahahha where"s your math teacher he did a horrible job hahahahaha.
You this thread was opened by a newbie that wants to know why he got thrash. Your english teacher didnt teach you how to read properly hahaha.
Iam a vet here , I opened this thread because Iam tired of this attitude thats starting to take place.
You remembered when you used to get bashed and thrashed , so you think its right. How dumb are you , so if your dad beat you everyday, does that mean you beat your son? I hope not!!! You suppose to learn , but you stayed aan idiot all this time. 8 years and you learn nothing hahahahaha your the true definition of moron. Iam not mad, I think your a joke hahahahaha.
I just hope you guys don't expect your doctors, lawyers, police officers and everyone else of importance in life to answer your questions...that have been asked and asked over and over again. The answers to your heart problems are on the internet. A little Bing search will find them. You don't need to bother your doctor with clarification questions.
Please stop harrassing your lawyers. They answer the exact same questions you ask time and again. They must be so sick of answering those questions over and over again. All of the answers you can think of are clearly posted online. Do a search of Google or Bing and stop asking your important people questions.

Sounds like you were trying to revert back to stock. I assume the stuff you are talking about is yellow. If so try to use odin again.
The obvious question to me is, did you try Odin again after it failed? Logic would suggest that if Odin failed I'd have to do it again.

It is because of your tar file on odin.it was two small.try re odin ing it with a tar file of 255 mb or something like that.happened to me before too when I was a super noob but fear not you'll eventually become less of a noob too as time passes

Using google first saves you time because its an immediate response, it saves everyone else time having to an a simple question, and it saves our forums from being cluttered. I said nothing rude and I would have answered his question had it not already been answered (which I highlighted with my quote and saying "this"). If you want to respond to my adult advice and response by acting childish, that is your prerogative but I will continue to post help to those who made an effort to get it.
thats i guess meh cool but a simple reply/explaination would have been "flash odin again" instead of repeating the long rant over and over again too. maybe its jus best to leave this place altogether

Maybe before voiding your warranty and messing with your $500 phone you should do some research and be prepared for the plethora of things that can go wrong.

I believe his point was, however, that before one starts an endeavor that can break a piece of $500 hardware one should generally make sure they understand all of the possible outcomes and how to deal with them which he pointed out that you didn't. He could have said it in a more polite manner but he was correct.
I have ben to this screen when my odin got interupted. Pull the battery for a couple minutes. Hold down the one key on the keyboard and then power on while holding it. This puts you in download mode. Odin back to stock.

So we are supposed to write out a detailed explanation to each one of these duplicate threads? I think not. This forum is out of control with this kind of ****. Oh, and talking about being helpful, it's reassuring to see that out of your 321 posts you have been thanked exactly zero times.

It appears I have one thanks or maybe I cant count. More than likely since I dont cry about wanting thanks that could be it. The purpose of a forum is to get help. Regardless if the answer could be found on google the forum would not need to exist. I am on one forum and it is the most mature forum there is. I see question repeated over and over again. Even in this case people still answer it like it was asked the first time. If all forums were like that, forums would be a much better place.

LOL what'd you do, pm someone and ask them to thank you? You def had zero when I posted that. You're right, forums are here for help. It is however a two way street. It seems clear that you think it's one way though. You are clearly here to be helped and not TO help.

I do not understand why it is difficult to simply search for an answer. If you cannot find the answer, then post and people will help. As I've stated I do very often provide detailed explanations to people even to those who had not searched for the answer however I always add that in the future they should seek out the answer on their own first. His question had been answered and as such I stated that he should try and figure things out on his own. I have never begged for a "Thanks" and I could care less about them but I have spent hours of my time helping others fix issues and there are many people who can attest to that. Leatherneck has done the same, in fact he has even helped me a few times that I can think of in recent history. On the other hand, the only posts I've seen from you are complaints about other users or asking other users for help. The point of these forums is to allow a place for developers to gather and together fix and hack away at new phones and such, not to aid in every little personal disaster. That is why it is a FORUM RULE to search. A rule for which violators can receive infringements or even bans. By telling people to search, I am not telling them to shut up I am showing people how to be an active member of this community and if you cannot grasp that then your place here is very limited.
Nom glad to help.why you ask you said thank you

help with sdk

not sure where to post this exactly if i am wrong please move this. i have installed jdk and sdk and trying to run android commander but it says your adb doesnt work please install sdk but i have everything installed correctly. at the bottom it says set android sdk tools in system path when i do and locate sdk tools and click it says adb.exe not found if someone could tell me what to do it would be very appreciated i am running windows vista.
wrong section this is for development and howtos only, try general next time, but ill try to help ya since the post is here anyways.
use your pc navigate to \android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
adb.exe got put here by google they moved it from the tools folder. try adding that folder to your environment variables.
Questions go in general. Actually, this doesn't even have anything to do with the Fascinate at all, so this should just go in the Android forum. Better yet, google search how to set a system path in Vista, since this is a Windows question.
As for the answer to your question, maybe you could find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879701
the first response answered my question the second one was not required you act like i broke the law asking a question on a forum i really don't understand why people have to be rude like they never ask a question in the wrong spot. if a rude comment is all you have keep it to yourself.
I agree john some people dont help but are smart asses

If you check the date stamps, you might see how likely it was that I was writing it at the same time as the first poster.
I'm assuming you both read into my post with a sarcastic tone, however, this was not my intention. Believe me, a lot of people are getting tired of people cluttering up the development forum with unrelated posts, but I have a lot of patience so I try to point people in the right place. It's not unheard of for people to get chewed out by some of the seasoned board members. Yet, I answered your question without insult or name calling, or quite frankly anything thing that could be considered "rude".
In your first post, you said:

I enjoy helping people who break rules, then getting insulted by them. See, now I'm being sarcastic.
in all reality when you read text, read it as if it were written without a tone ie; sarcastic, funny, pissed, ect.. this way you dont feel insulted by the text. he helped you be satisfied with that. dont get upset if it seems insulting or not.

I've found out that on the internet, people will take you seriously if you are being sarcastic, and they will assume you are being sarcastic (or "rude") whenever you are being direct.
I've never really seen the point of feeling any emotion as a result of what someone says to me on a forum. I used to try to joke around with people, but I rarely do that any more since most people mis-interpret things.
I didn't even flinch when I opened up this thread. Why would I even care that they misunderstood me? The OP got his answer, and learned something. That was all that I was trying to accomplish in posting, so I'm not offended.
In real life, I rarely offend people, so when I first started talking on forums, part of me was sad every time someone got mad at me. That part of me wore off after it happened enough times. I guess you can only maintain the emotional response to the internet if you are the one who is always getting mad at others.
Instead, now I just focus on being helpful instead of worrying about making sure I word things carefully enough to not offend those who are easily offended.
the fact remains that this has nothing to do with development...in about 40 places all over xda it specifically states what NOT to put in development..which is anything that isnt put out rom/mod/kernel wise
not trying to flame the thread anymore than it has...but its things like this that drive a lot of us nuts
and as a member for longer than ive been posting, you should have been aware of this.
i am sorry for taking it the wrong way and for over reacting as well as posting in the wrong spot. in the future i will try and post in the right section or ask before i post.
Thread moved to General.
