Clockworkmod backup/restore doesn't work

I've been trying to use clockwork mod backup so that I can try out roms and easily get back to my stable leedroid 2.2.3 setup.
So when trying out the sense v2.3 and cm7 roms, I did a clockwork mod v3 backup just before (after updating to it from rom manager so I can flash the gingerbread roms)
I haven't found a gingerbread rom yet that I like over my 2.2 setup, so I'm now trying to restore the backup. Even when using the full-wipe.zip and then the full restore with clockwork mod, I have a few issues:
1. The boot animation is not restored - Just have the stock android text.
2. Lots of issues when the rom boots - force closes of sense etc.
I thought the clockwork mod backup was supposed to do a bit-by-bit backup of all the partitions, so when restoring you should be back to exactly the same state. Yet clearly this is not true. Any ideas on how I can restore the backup, or do I need to start from scratch and restore my titanium backup?
I've had quite a few other issues with clockworkmod as well - like needing to use the full-wipe when clockworkmod claims it's already wiped those partitions. Seems to be quite buggy - is there an alternative recovery for the DHD? I know that CM is the standard but it seems to be not working very well at all.

The problem might be there...

I've had these same problems moving between froyo roms with CWM 2.xx.xx . Also I didn't flash leedroid - I tried to restore a CWM backup, made with 3.x , using 3.x.

Yes but there has been some reports in the leedroid thread that backup and restore doesn't work with CWM 3.x.x.x, that's why 2.x.x.x is recommended in the OP.

Edit: Wrong forum. 6+ windows of XDA can confuse anyone. Sorry

[Q] CM7 dualboot with stock 1.2

I know it's not really related but Im getting frustrated.
Is it possible to install CM7 on the primary partition and use stock 1.2 on the 2nd using only the internal memory?
I don't know how to do it cause CM7 always installs on the 2nd partition.
Using CWR, is there a option where it asks you on which partition to install what ROM?
I've read the dualboot thread but I'm really stuck.
Thanks

Here is the deal:
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1050520
Download the rom the KEEPS cwm.
Flash that.
Now boot into cwm and flash this rom:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20480343/ecl...hable-v0.2.zip
Now flash custom rom to first partition.
Dun!

Hi, I hav done exactly the way you described - used phiremod 6.1 as latest step.
But after flashing phiremod 6.1 nothing works (stock and p-mod just stops at the load logo.
do you have some hints?
-dualboot with stock 1.2 is working (before flashing primary)
-before starting to flash stock 1.2 I deleted syystem , data and cache - after not.

First the links are not working from your quote. Second I don't want phiremod but CM7

[Q] Android wouldn't install

Hello,
my Leo failed to install Android (CoreDroid 1.6) from NAND. Before flashing CoreDroid 1.6 I used CoreDroid 1.5 but then I wanted to install first HyperDroid. That didn't work. now when magldr starts I always got "nand kernel couldn't open". I think I've made a mistake when I wanted to flash HyperDroid. So you see there's a big mess on my HD2. My question is now how to remove everything I don't need, go back to the start and then to flash coredroid 1.5 again.
I'm totally desperate. please help me

Hi,
Firstly,I hope you did some kind of backup before you started all this.
If you can reboot your phone and go into CWM.
First,wipe data,cache partition and dalvik(in advanced).
Reboot to CWM go to option 5 and flash your partition.
Then try flashing the ROM of your choice.

thanks dude, now it's booting. hope that everything will work now

I
f you want to do a complete cleaning and start over. Then just download and run a Task 29 and then reflash MAGLDR as the Task 29 will remove it. Then reflash CWM then your ROM or jist your ROM if you want DAF Rom.
Edit: Disregard this as I see you got it working before I could post.

but thank you too! I didn't know that before and it's definetely useful for the next flash

[Q] Phone not booting

Hey!
I just flashed the newest TyphooN CyanogenMod 6.2 on my HD2 but after rebooting, the phone stucks on bootscreen. Can anyone help?
Chris

is this your first attempt on android? what steps have you taken? give us some clue to help you

oh no, before i flashed the new rom, i was running the 3.5.0 version of typhoon cyanogen mod. first i made a backup with clk. then i installed the .zip from sd card and after that restored the system. then i got some problem with booting, magldr. said: failed to open nand kernel. so i flashed 3.6.2 new and now it stucks ^^'

do you use clk or mgldr? have you wiped data/factory reset before flashing new rom? have you made proper nand partition?

well i use both i think. magldr to boot and clk to install everything or backup/restore,... i didn't wipe data/factory nor made something with the nand partition cause this wasn't the first time i tried install a newer version. i never had problems using this method to flash the new rom. that's why i'm a little bit surprised why it isn't working.

i solved the problem, flashing an older rom with no beta kernel. now it's booting, puhh.. but thanks anyway!

[Q] Restoring clockoworkmod backup

I'm sorry in advance if it has been asked already.
Do I need to perform any wipes before restoring a backup? I'm currently on CM7.2 RC1 and made a backup of it and want to switch to Defy+ CM9 build for a while then go back to CM7.2. Last time I did it (restored CM7 backup after installing CM9) it just stuck on Boot logo and couldn't move on so I had to start from scratch (new installation). Any guides just mention clicking on restore and that's all. Thanks in advance for an answer!

Can anyone help me? I did as I wrote (switched for a while to CM9 GB build from CM7.2 FROYO) then wanted to restore CM7 backup, tried both with and without wipes (data, cache, dalvik) but it just gets stuck on boot logo and won't move on. What am I doing wrong?

You don't need to do a wipe for restoring a nandroid..
I assume you're using the same recovery with which you made the backup..

Thanks for an answer! I made a backup with CM7 (froyo) recovery and was restoring with the one that was installed along with CM9 (gb). So that was the cause?

You flashed the CM9 ROM through recovery.. right??
ROM's do not change recovery.. Its the same for both..

Why don't you try Dual Boot...
refer to the below mentionedlink:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364659
However, to install CM9 I'm not sure if someone uploaded itsnandroid backup. Please note that to use the backup and restore youcan only use a Nandroid backup as ROM.zip file can not be restored.
What I understand from your post is that you have CM9 rom in zipformat; if this is the case then you can only install it usingInstall from SD card option from Custom Recovery.

Wiping data removes Custom recovery. If the new ROM has aCustom recovery then only it appears otherwise we have to reinstallthe Custom recovery.

I think you got me wrong. I was using CM 7.2 Froyo build and made a backup of it through recovery. Then I installed CM9 GB build (wiped data, installed rom, kernel, gapps) and have been using it for a while then I wanted to switch back to my CM7.2 backup (went to the recovery, choosed restore) and it said restoring was succesfull but when I rebooted it just stuck on bootlogo and couldn't move on. Any idea what am I doing wrong?

Technically, you haven't done anything wrong. What I've learnt from my experience and posts, this is one heck of a weird phone.
Might be a chance your backup is corrupted or incomplete (highly unlikely bt I've seen it in a device)
Or some other glitch which m nt sure of..

Well as I said..this phone definitely acts senseless sometimes.. a data wipe in my case didn't remove the recovery or bootmenu.
Even reported it in the app thread..

Now, I understand your issue.
Try using below mentioned steps:
1. Boot into latest/custom recovery;
2. Wipe data/cache;
3. Restore the complete Nandroid backup;
4. Now from advance wipe dalvik cache and battery logs;
5. Now reboot the phone.
Please use above mentioned steps and share the results.
Hope this helps!!

Also try to install latest clockwordmod backup.

@MarcinRN
I think your problem is kernel related, if you switch to CM7 from CM9 with GB-Kernel you must restore the froyo-kernel for CM7.

That's the problem. You can find the kernels on epsy's site. Flash the kernel and restore the nand (there are also options in advanced restore if it still doesn't work, don't know if you need them)

Thanks guys I'll try it next time. However, I read somewhere that backup contains kernel too, don't know how much true is in that.
