Hey!
I tried flashing a Hero rom to my HTC Magic this evening, but after flashing the phone just froze at the HTC Magic screen, it didnt reboot, it just froze.
I then tried to boot in the recovery menu, and install a earlier version of cyanogen, that i know have worked on my phone before. But the same happens, the phone just freeze at the HTC Magic screen, and nothing happens.
I have a Magic 32A
Hope that anyone here can help me, dont know what i need to do to get it working again.
1.) wrong section
2.) do you have a nandroid backup ?
1) Sorry, maybe an moderator can move the thread to the proper forum
2) Yes i have a Nandroid backup on my computer. I have tried taking that nandroid and copying it to a spare SDcard i have, and then boot in recovery and then choose Nandroid Restore, but i keeps saying : Error performing restore! Try running 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' from console.
Dont know what that means
So i guess i dont have a nandroid backup, or not a working nandroid
Any ideas?

Did you rename your Nandroid backup from the original name? If so then this can cause problems when you try to restore.
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
boot to fastboot and put your nadroid system.img data.img boot.img files inside sdk tools folder
and open cmd and copy paste above

I moved my nandroid files onto my PC and moved back to the phone and now I can't restore my nandroid backup flashing from the recovery screen, what the heck am I doing wrong
can I just adb push the backup?

make sure the path to your backup is correct then try re flashing the recovery image. either that or your backup got corrupted when you copied it. this has happened to me a few times..

Did you copy the Nandroid folder into the SD root? I've copied the Nandroid folder to the computer plenty of times and transfered back over to the phone with no problems.
Hi,
I recently tried to install the new Gingerbread keyboard (provided by droid life) on my rooted 2.2 Legend. Now when I boot up my phone it stays stuck on the initial HTC loading screen.
I did do a nandroid backup before installing the replacement keyboard. How exactly do I recover that backup? I am able to go into recovery mode, but I'm not sure what to do from there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
EDIT: So I remembered I have to use recovery-windows.bat to get to the recovery menu. So I did that but when I try to do a Nand restore I get the following error:
"E:Couldn't open directory /sdcard/nandroid/backup"
Any idea what the problem may be?
Do you have clockworkmod installed on your sdcard ?

Install ROM Manager, it should be able to restore your ROM! If not check you have all the files here: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/xxxx-xx-xx.xx.xx.xx - date of backup:
Code:
boot.img
cache.img
data.img
recovery.img
system.img
nandroid.md5
Thank guys, I figured it out
Some weeks ago a tried a nandroid restore on my Legend using MDJ ROM with ext sd partition (around 500mb) but I had no success. I did a simple restore from the recover menu.
My doubt was that nandroid does not back up the ext partition but in effect I see that the back up file contain a file "sd-ext.img" which should be problably my external back up. Then when I have restored Legend has stucked with boot logo e didn't completed the power on sequence. I had to reinstall and configure (partially as I use Mybackup).
Please, do you know the correct procedure how to completely restore such type of ROMS using ext sd memory?
Thank you
Does anyone have either a nandroid backup or an update.pkg of the stock rogers build? I have looked around and no one seems to have it.
Thanks
Sorry to hi-jack, but I would really appreciate to have this ROM.
Please help!
Sorry again, I got my phone yesterday and it is now stuck at the Dell Logo, I tried almost everything, I would really need what the OP is asking.
Please help us...

I tried flashing the boot.img, system.img ans recovery.img with FastBoot. Still stuck at the Dell Logo.
Can somebody explain me how to restore using Nandroid, I don't know where to put the files "goodpill" just provided, Nandroid always say "Can't find MISC" and not able to find my files.
Sorry for all these questions.
Regards
you extract the folder you just downloaded to the clockworkmod\backup directory on your sd card and launch nandroid on the device and choose that folder to restore from
Hi Again,
Thanks a lot for your help, I am using Clockworkmod v1.8.1.7 and did exactly what you just said about the folders on the sd card, and still not luck, Nandroid say "Can't find MISC" and "No File Found"
Is this the correct path?
SD-root\clockworkmod\backup
Thanks again

Ok sorry for last post, I figure out my mistake. Now I am able to point to the files you provided in the previous post and start the restore procedure, after I get this error.
Erasing Boot before restore...
Error while formating BOOT:!
Can somebody help me please.
Regards
I also have the same error when I try to format "system"
Erasing Boot before restore...
Error while formating BOOT:!
Erasing System before restore...
Error while formating SYSTEM:!
Can this be related to the fact my Streak is not rooted?
Please help.
i am not sure what the problem is, did you install fastboot and clockworkbackup?
are you rooted with androot (not sure if this is necessary)
did you try the factory reset and start over routine?
Hello,
today i have just tried to install Windows Phone 7 on my HD2.
Before i have created an nandroid backup with clk cwm.
I didnt like WP7 so i've decided fast to return back to my old rom.
I didnt find my old clk installation files so i've downloaded some new one (same cwm partitions)
Now if i want to restore my backup cwm gives me the following lines:
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.0
Checking MD5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...
Restoring boot image...
Error while flashing boot image!
And i'm back in the menu.
Can anyone help me please? I have set up this rom for so long time and dont want to lose it.
Regards.
files maight be currompted ...just intsall everything from the begening and in the next time when u will make a backup copy the file into ur computer so u dont have to worry about the backup
Try flashing the rom clean, and then use selective restore to restore the data and sd ext partitions only.

I think the boot image was corrupted. I did copy it onto my computer (how should i have not, due to the sd repartitioning by wp7)

as my experience some builds accept restoring of nandroid from another build but many of them don't accept. so what is best flash your old rom, restore nandroid, then backup with titanium backup, then flash the other rom and restore with titanium backup.
Hi,
I had a problem with my NDT miui nand buil recently, it was sticking on boot animation, so I made a backup via cwm, I saved the backup folder on my pc. Now I want to restore that backup. I tried all the usual methods for it, I did tas29, flashed new clk, and tried backup, still stuck on boot animation, I flashed my last rom and then tried to restore the backup, again stuck on boot animation. I did everything for it, but doesn't works for me. It does the restore process as usual, but I wan't to boot, my phone stuck in boot animation. So I beg you to help me with one of these alternatives, please.
-I only want to restore my contacts, call logs and sms. Anyway to restore them only? there are some .img files in backup folder, which one are these files stored?
-Is there anyway I can extract backups files on my pc and get my contacts,sms,... in it?
-If none of above works, is there anyway to install cwm on pc android emulator, and then restore my backup in it, and again get my contacts,sms there?
I will really be thankful of your helps

Are you using the correct partition size? Too small a partition normally causes the phone to hang at the bootanimation. If you have used the correct partition size and it still doesn't boot, try simply increasing it to account for any bad blocks you may have.
It's also possible that your backup is corrupted somehow, it happened to me once. If this is the case, try flashing the same ROM and then restoring the data partition in CWM.
When you rename backup file do not use spaces (exp. icsromv3)

I don't think that's the problem because if the ROM gets up to the bootanimation (after a Task29) then it's clearly been [somewhat] flashed correctly so it's probably down to the backup itself, or of course an error somewhere on his part.

Come on guys, this is common sense. If he made the backup with the rom ALREADY not booting up, no matter what he does, it'll always stick to the boot animation.
The back-up saves your ROM at its current state, not the one it was working at before. Backups should only be done when your ROM is actually fully functioning, not when it is broken. So unfortunately, you have to do what Nigel Suggested. Make a clean install of that ROM and then only restore the data partition.
You may be able to do the emulator thingy, but I'm not sure, you can give it a shot though.
For extracting something from your backup see appextractor or nandroid browser

Whoops, I should have read the OP more carefully
@OP Yeah, just fresh install then restore the data partition. I still don't understand why the other ROM isn't working though unless it's your fault somwhere
