At the airport, Need the nandroid Backup - G1 General

Hey guys i am at the airport and i need a nandroid backup as soon as possible. My phone is not working and i need the nandroid basically of JF 1.5 or Haykuro 6.0r1. Hero nandroids will also work. Need in one hour. Please somebody upload. Will give $20 to whosoever does it less than 30 mins . No Cyanogens please

Why not install dreaimg? (though I'm not sure if that image reflashes the SPL, but I was under the assumption it does).

Restore Nandroid backup to another G1

All,
Is it possible to restore a Nandroid backup to another G1?
My G1 went bad and I will be getting a replcement soon. I want to know if I do a full backup on the bad G1 can I restore it to the new one or not?
Thanks in advance,
Moe
I haven't heard of anyone doing this, but I can't see why it wouldn't be possible.
Yes
Yes,
You can do that. Just make sure you have a fastboot enabled SPL installed on the new phone as well as the proper radio version that matches your backups (to avoid any potential bricking problems).
Yeah, I've done it. You might want to search the stickied nandroid thread though for accelerometer. There is a file you may need to delete if your accelerometer isn't working properly akmfs or something like that. As the above post mentioned you probably want to make sure that your radio and spl match what you have right now as well.

How To Backup Radio/Recovery/Etc Images?

Hi all, as above. I'm still quite new to Android, and would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction as to how I can backup the above. I would like to have a backup of all the stock images for my phone ^^.
I have already done a Nandroid backup for my ROM, and the SPL (.009) at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019 is identical to the stock one in my phone. If possible I'd like to backup the recovery image as well as the radio.
Thanks!
all you need to do is the nandroid backup it backs up the following partitions.
boot
cache
data
misc
recovery
system
all of these would be backed up if you do a nandroid.
Ok, thanks! However, when I tried doing a "fastboot boot recovery.img" using the recovery.img from my Nandroid backup, it doesn't boot up? Could it be due to my SPL (I've downgraded it to Crios' modded version)?
Hi all, sorry to bump my own old thread up, but I would like to know how I can make a backup of my current radio (if possible). I'm interested in doing this as haykuro's new root apparently stops us from being able to run 32A ROMS (I've a 32A phone) according to skittleguy, turning it into a 32B in a way. I'd like to be able to revert to stock if the need arises.
Thank you!

Well thats only the instructions for how to get back from the 32B radio to the 32A radio with the supplied radio image. Doesnt say anything about how to backup the current one in your own phone, if its even possible? I'm another one of those guys that want to learn more and want to know how to backup the radio image (which isnt covered in a nandroid backup).
Same Issue
I have the same question and the same issue for days and I've been googling and have already gone through pretty much every forum sites... But, I could never find the answer on how to create a backup of your own phone's radio image. I could imagine the post is 3 years old and no one shared their knowledge.
I have a motorola spice xt-300 from mobilicity and I wanted to upgrade it to 2.2 or 2.3 from 2.1 eclair.... but there's absolutely no help out there or no on is willling to help
I managed to create a rom dump of my phone.... and it doesn't have something says radio.img I only got the following in the romdump folder:
boot.img
checksum.md5
config.gz
recovery.img
system.info.gz
system.tar.gz
no radio.img..... I'm sure there's either a tool like "Radio Trimmer" which is available for galaxy nexus phone only online or somehow extract or edit these above files and find the radio.img....
and then if luck enough someone will comeup with CMW for this phone and CM7.1 or 7.2
I did update my huawei phone to 2.3.7 android...which was not that hard...
and now I was thinking to update the radio by taking my motorola spice's radio and putting it on my huwaei phone.....But back to square one on how to extract the radio.img from your phone rom
I mean I could even donate also if someone could provide with these issues....
Please guys and those gurus...I know nothing is hard for you developers and gurus when it comes to the custom recovery rom etc....
Please guide this newbie or tell how much u charge for this little work?
And my apology for sounding irritated...
This is complex question. But...
1. No need to backup radio if you are planning to update from official ROM to next official ROM, cause old radio will not work at newest official ROM (generally). Most vendors do not allow to downgrade ROMs.
Cutom ROMs do not have radio.img. Yes, there are some exceptions, but in most cases - no radio.img.
2. Well, you still need backup radio.img. If you have HTC Magic (or other HTC phone) - you are lucky. There are a lot of official ROMs. You need just run RUU and extract radio.img (same as your current)
3. If you have other phone than HTC, so you can dump current radio, but you must have some linux knowledge.
There is linux command "dd"
Examples:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/radio.img bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/radio of=/sdcard/radio.img
Different phones have different blocks where radio is.
Parameters - they are different too. And you need to trim radio.img in extra cases.
Just a reminder, the development section is for releasing things that you have developed. Topic moved to general.

restoring previous rom

Hi im really sorry if this may have been covered countless times but as the phone is still relatively new I have posted to limit the chances of applying an incorrect rom.
I've had my Magic for a couple of months now and recently decided to root the phone, (its a Vodafone UK HTC Magic - PVT32B) and i followed the instructions to root via androidandme with the 1clickroot program to cyanogens 4.1 rom. its all going fine for now however in going through the steps it appears i did NOT back up the original rom for the magic- i backed up my recovery image but not the actual rom image. I've seen some sites suggest downloading the DREAIMG file or something similar however this relates to the G1 - to which even if it did work it would brand my phone as a Tmobile handset just like it is now with cyanogens ROM.
was wondering If anyone had a clean Vodafone UK rom (wiped/cleaned so no user data is present) prob from a nandroid backup or something - i do have Cyanongens 1.4 recovery image installed. Sorry to be picky but i dont want to risk bricking and would like to go back to the stock rom or at least have it inthe event i wanted togo back- these Tmobile ones come bundled with apps i /cant/ use and waste space such as the built in IM app or cyanogens amazon.com app which is useless in the UK.
i thank you in advance for any help you may give and apologise again if this has been covered < 9000 times already
I have a different phone can't help much, but I will suggest something but while you're looking for a stock ROM, I'd recomend doing a nandroid backup of your phone as it is now (if you have it up and running 100%), because if there is a problem in future at least you could go back to that.
Well, thats the brilliance of android, you can back up your phone often, we should all do it
I lost my stock backup, but have happily stuck with cyanogen since though. I'm sure someone here will have a nandroid of their blank phone. In between changing ROMs, someone could load their old backup, factory reset, nandroid that again, then go on to their new roms.
We really need a good list of download links of stock ROMs up somewhere, this would help devs sort out some issues too I'd imagine.
thanks for the reply, i couldnt agree with you more, i am quite happy with cyanogen now, particulary as ive found more use withthe phone now its rooted however we realy need a consistent storage of default roms and a central area for ROM creators to submit thier versions whilst having stock roms available for those who want to to back.
im guessing this may be a more common thing since the 1click root came along, guess it started people rooting who really shouldnt be (not excluding myself from that list) but i imagine bricked phones-a-plenty.
thanks again for the help. i may as well make a backup as u say whilst its working- least before it all goes tits-up

Can't Flash Fresh ROM

I have run into a strange problem. I have spent the last 2 days trying to flash the Fresh Rom back onto my phone. I had some problems while trying to do Apps to SD. Flashed back to stock, Updated and rerooted. I can restore all backups of the original sprint ROM. Every time I flash Fresh 1.0 or restore one of my nandroid backups for Fresh it will get stuck in a boot loop. I have searched everywhere and tried every possible option and can not get this Rom back on the phone. Anyone have any ideas?
first off, do you have a modded Recovery Menu? Because you need one, it is in the forums, i believe it is stickyed, but if its not search for it.
second, did you download the right ROM for YOUR phone?
Third, is the download a good download? it is possible it is corrupt.
put ALL these into consideration.
That what I was gonna ask gotta make sure you're rooted for flashing first! Good luck and let us know if you have any questions...if the directions for rooting viat the Android SDK are too confusing for you like they were for me search the forum for the "flashrec" way of rooting your phone so easy a caveman can do it!
Also be sure to get the base 1.29 RUU just to have if you need to default to stock and I found with my Sprint Hero model that recovey image 1.5.2 works best for back up and restoring 1.2.3 didn't work at all for me hence the need to run the base RUU anytime I tried to restore lol.
Yes I did all of that. I had it flashed with the fresh Rom before. Used the same files that where on my card even redownloaded. No go.

[Q] How to Restore factory for Aria?

I have looked for a weeks about how to root/update 2.2 rom for Aria here, that help a lot, thanks.
Now I got a question, and please correct me if I'm wrong. Once I "unrevoked", the boot part of the phone is already changed, so I cannot just flash back a original rom from recovery mode, is that right?
Second, I found that there is a Aria official rom for download, but my Aria is not AT&T one, so that one may not work for me - mine is an Asia version, no AT&T apps by default.
Any method that I can do something like "dd over usb" for backing up my Aria?
there is the old way of running clockwork without installing it. If you run a nandroid backup BEFORE you flash clockwork with reflash, then you will back up everything that is changed when you flash clockwork and root the original ROM, BEFORE any changes are made.
Once ONE person with this version ARIA does this and gets that nandroid backup to me (without the data image - I don't want that and you don't want me to have it) then I can work on a restore procedure for the Non-branded HTC Aria.
We are in the IRC channel in my signature line and have helped many people do this before unrevoked's reflash made it so much easier to root and flash custom recovery. I'd really like to do that once more so that we can put together a procedure to restore the Non-branded version.

I'm not sure, but if I remember right, we talking some words, from this procedures in IRC channel. Till I can't connect the IRC channel (because corporate security ), but if you send a PM, we can talking from backup (I'm new in Android phones) and untouched asian ROM restore procedures...
I waiting your answer...
