nandroid error - Hero CDMA General

whenever i try to run a nandroid backup, it gives me an error saying that i need to run nandroid.sh via adb..
can anyone help?
thank you

I've found that if I plug it into my charger, then run it again....the message does not show up again. Atleast that works for me.

Hmmm, funny. Similar thing happened to me 30 min ago. Was backing up flipz 2.1 and restoring my daily (Fresh 1.1). It told me I had to run "nandroid-mobile.sh restore via adb", or something like that. Anyway, I did it and everything is fine. Just found it strange. Oh well, no harm done

Might be right about that, cause my battery was near dead when I tried to restore, HAHA.

delete something.

Nah, that's not it. 2.5GB free space on SD card. If You have no space on the SD card it won't even allow the backup, it will let you know. INMShake may be right; battery. That screen stays bright quite a long time during backup and restore.

One other possibility, if you have renamed the backup you need to make sure there are no spaces in the name. Don't ask me how I know!

I've had the same error with a file I renamed. When I changed it back to nandroid all was good. Renaming It if it was changed.

Plug in your charger and reboot back into recovery

so weird this happened to me as well restoring between all the new 2.1's aye david question is are you gettin down on 360 or ps3

You can always root again using fresh's kitchen, that should solve your problem.

Im on the 360.....

I have found that if your battery is at 30% or lower it will give you this error. Plug it in and let it charge to at least 40% and it shouldn't be a issue.
Hope that this information helps.

Cool. Always looking for teammates.

I tend to get the same issue, no matter how full my battery is (it's RARELY below 50%).
What I ended up doing the other day to go from a 2.1 ROM back to Fresh 1.1 was to boot into recovery, wipe, flash the original Fresh 1.1 (not the backup), let it load, reboot back into recovery, wipe, and load the backup I wanted to use. For whatever reason, that worked.
Also, no spaces in your backup names, they cause problems (found that out the hard way). I'm not sure renaming your backups at all is a great idea anymore, as I'm wondering if it uses the date code in part of the process or something.

nandroid total failure
nandroid wont work for me, i tried restoring, flashing basically every option and keep getting "aborted" can someone please help!

yes same exact thing happened to me! and also, there are some files i cant put onto my SD card from my comp. some files will work when i copy them to my sd card and some wont..

happened to me as well trying to go from flipz 2.1 to fresh 1.1. i had tried a few different times to restore and got the error but never paid attention to the battery life, but since its pretty bad on 2.1 now im sure i was low. just tried it after a fresh charge and everything restored perfectly!

well i found out that it was my sd card. i couldnt believe that i didnt have enough space on my sd card because i have an 8 gig haha
so i checked it out and i only had 1 mb left of available space
so i just backed up my data and reformated my sd card.
worked like a charm

Simple guide on how to reroot without the kitchen. Put the recovery img on the sd card and run this.
Code:
adb shell
cd /sdcard
flash_image recovery [Recovery Name Here].img
reboot recovery

ROM is gone

So I installed the Cyanogen mod from RomManager to try it out. The thing is, now my phone is telling me my SD card is damaged and I can't read from it. My backups were on there and I foolishly did not save copies onto my computer.
So, is there anyway to get a stock ROM for the incredible so I can flash that back onto there?

Have you tried booting your phone into recovery.
Then going to nandroid in recovery and choosing your backup to restore?
That damaged message sounds like something you see in rom manager, but you can probably still see your SD card fine in recovery if you haven't tried that yet.
Ditto, except have you tried checking your SD card with a reader straight into the PC? If you can't read it with a reader it may very well be damaged.
If it is actually broken IncredibleRoms (dot) com is usually a good place to look for ROM's.
Looked around and found a stock nandroid backup
incredibleroms.com/roms/stock/
Only other option might be trying to go the RUU route.
This is a rooted stock rom binny made that you can use. Its from a previous thread a few weeks ago
binny1007 said:
This is just a stock rom with a few tweeks.
It includes SuperUser, busybox, Wireless -N, Facebook has been moved to /data/local so it can be uninstalled, Zipaling and ROM Manager. CityID has been removed, also the internal task killer has been tweeked so no need to have third party task killers.
I dont plan on working too much on this one, but may update in the future.

I would recomend wipeing before installing.

Can't access the card in recovery either. I even took the card out and put it in my computer and can't read it there either.
I found the droid incredible downgrade file for returning to stock without root, I guess I'll have to go this route. I know I can re-root the phone, its just loosing all my apps and data that's painful.
EDIT: or use the rooted rom, thanks kentoe, that definitely saves me some time.
Titanium Backup can take care of the apps and you could pull data to your pc.
Unless the apps and data were on your SD card in which case you'll need some CSI/NCIS tricks to reconstruct your messed up SD.

Yes, I used Titanium Backup for my apps, but unfortunately they were on the card. I'll just have to call it a loss and reinstall my apps one at a time.
Utils for SD recovery
I have a few utils that have been able to recover data from SD cards, flash sticks, CF stuff like that. Look on the net.
Yeah, I somehow actually damaged my friends SD card from his Moto Droid while attempting to root my Incredible. Needless to say he wasn't very happy. So off to google I went and in the morning he had all his files back like it never happened.

can not install or uninstall apps. NAND, wipe/flash new rom does not help.

ive been trying to figure this out since yesterday but i am completely lost and really need help..
this started yesterday. i had my phone connected with adb and pulled some files (LatinIME.apk, framework-res.apk). i did not push or delete any. around the same time i download fx camera. all the work i did was actually just on the computer. the only thing i did on the phone around that time was use root explorer to check the name of the .apk for fx camera.
im not sure if any of that could possibly mean anything but i thought maybe it was worth mentioning.
here are the symptoms. right after i was done the phone was acting sluggish and crappy (it always does when i disconnect from usb since i switched to froshedyo v10) so i rebooted. upon booting up, 90% of apps were missing. i didnt feel like using titanium backup to manually "ok" each install, so i opted for a fairly recent NAND backup to restore to. i did but upon booting up, the same apps were missing.. very weird right? i know they were there when i made the backup.. so now i decided i had to use titanium. but when i began i noticed that it wouldnt install any app. it would hang on the "installing" screen forever. i rebooted and this time tried an app from the market, only to have the same results.
i did try wiping everything and starting fresh (with froshedyo v10). a strange thing happened. after logging in and setting up the basics i left it alone to restore the apps. when i checked later i had the notification, "applications partially restored". i never had that before.. it seemed like maybe a few more apps were there, but not much. i was mostly in the same boat. and again, titanium backup and market would not install any apps..
please help.. whats going on??
---------latest info--------
i wiped everything and tried to start fresh with a brand new copy of nonsensikal 16.1. no apps were restored, and i am unable to install or uninstall any app on the phone. it will just hang on the installing/uninstalling screen.
i have done multiple wipes and flashes, testing each time to see if anything is working, but it has not worked once. i can not install or uninstall any apps.
Were you using Apps2sd? I wonder if it could be something with that. Especially if your rom seems to be fine. Is everything else showing up on your sd card?
the file manager on the phone shows all my sd card contents just fine.
i believe when i first installed this rom about a week ago i did find an option somewhere in settings that said "choose location to install apps" (i chose external) and "allow moving of apps to external" (i chose yes).

I don't think you have a market problem...it sounds like an sd card issue which would explain alot of the symptoms including issues when unmounting from pc. If all your apps are installed on the sd and the card doesn't mount right they will "dissapear" as you have described. Try changing the setting to install apps back to internal and then apps should install. If apps install after you do that it probably means the sdcard is corrupted so you will need to back up the files on your sd and then reformat the card. PLEASE remember to back up the sd card before reformatting since it has your nand backups on it. The market fix is only a fix for apps not showing in the market not on the phone.
lol its ok rhamej.
i think i should clarify though that i do have a market. it may be worth noting that i used to have a blue themed market, which during this problem seems to have reverted to the stock green market. but i do have a market.
when i try to install from the market, it just kind of stalls when i accept the terms and permissions needed by the app. like, when i click the final "ok" which should then lead to the app actually beginning to download, it just stops. doesnt freeze the market or FC, its almost like the button is unresponsive.
when i try to install an app via file manager from sd card, it hangs on the "installing" screen. same with titanium backup.
----------developments------------
i couldnt stand not having my apps so i did a NAND back to nonsensikal. my apps were all restored this time but im still having problems installing.
from the sd card: hangs on install.
from the market: now will download, but hangs on install.

we must have been posting at the same time but these all still sound like what i mentioned in my above post. Your apps are back with nonsensikal because they probably weren't installed on sd when you made the nand for that rom.

lol posting at same time again...you are probably typing right now...try rebooting the phone also after the setting has been changed....for some reason froyo depends too much in my opinion on the sd card and really can cause issues with it.
quick question. what format should my micro sd card be in? i know i formatted it right around the time i got it, to FAT32. im assuming thats correct but i would like to double check. google isnt answering my question fast enough..
still no progress.
i wiped everything, flashed a new nonsensikal 16.1. apps didnt automatically come back. i can not install or uninstall apps on the phone. they all hang on the installing/uninstalling screen.
how could this have happened? how can i fix it? i will gladly do a more thorough wipe. i wiped data and davlick. what else could i do to completely reset my phone to fix this problem? that is assuming that there is no other ideas of options.. i hope there is!
edit: in regards to previous ideas, i reformatted my sd card (FAT32) and replaced all the files.

You could try the flashback 21 file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026
That should take you back to stock and replace your custom recovery with the default one. You could then re-root. I don't know if that's what you want, but that would be about as complete of a reset as you could get as far as I know.
Does anyone else know if this is the best option? I would hate to mislead...
I had a problem similar to this after I dropped my phone. I could not install any apps (market or .apk) and reading of my SD card was spotty at best. What fixed it for me was first deleting the .android-secure folder on the sd card. [NOTE!: this may delete some/all apps/app data you have so I hope you have a backup]. I have no idea why but the .android-secure was not happy at all ;] I believe you have to delete it on a computer because android file managers just can't do it.

Did you put all your files back on your sd card after reformatting it? I would try reformatting the card and then see if it works before you put your files back on. Like the previous poster said the android_secure folder could be messed up and if your copying it back could still cause issues.

There is a link talking about doing this on the op of my floyo rom thread
well that android_secure thing seems to have been the problem! thank you guys very much! i just deleted it and rebooted and i am now able to install and uninstall apps, both from the sd card and market.
it got to the point where i couldnt connect via usb unless i was in recovery so things were getting pretty frustrating. im glad its over. any guesses what might have caused this craziness?

Issue with apps all of a sudden

I not sure if this is the right area, if not, i apologize, feel free to move and/or flame. lol
Anyway, I'm running fr008 liberated froyo and all of a sudden my apps stopped showing up in the app drawer. the ones i had an icon for on the home screen would show up, but be the default little gear icon thing, on click, nothing would happen (market also because that icon and wouldnt work). I tried wiping dalvik cache, cache, and finally ended up just trying to restore nandroid. Wellll.... Now the market is gone totally, but the strange thing, is that the apps show up under settings->applications, but not in the drawer at all.
I searched on this site, but honestly...I'm not even sure what words to use, everytnhing just wasnt relevant to my search. I'll be happy to continue searching (and i'm still browsing through pages), but maybe someone has had this issue and can either help me out, or point me in the right direction. Thanks.
Try a different home app. LauncherPro is the best so far in my opinion.
Well, Ideally I would like to keep sense. that's why i had chosen the rom that i did instead of CM. I just don't understand why they were there working just fine, then all of a sudden they werent. Worse comes to worse I just flash cm7 and start over, i'm just giving it a couple days before i do that.
Astro also didn't show up, and i tried doing the .zip update method through clockwork, but i move the files over, then reset the phone, and they don't show up on the sdcard...So i reboot and check for the gapp.zip on the sdcard, and its no longer there. Wtf is going on?
**edit: for some reason the phone reset and the market showed up again. Obviously my apps are in my market account, but they still show up under settings->application. I still don't know *WHY* this happened, and i dont want to reload everything on it and lose the info i had, especially if its going to be a recurring thing.

This is a total WTF! Since you are running FR008, are you using DT A2Sd to store your apps on the SD card? If not, you may want to look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790786
Once you enable A2SD by creating a EXT partition on your SD card, you can use A2SD to check the apps that are installed.
Yeah, my sd card has the ext partition from when i had the stock rom (trying to use dt's a2sd with that, got fed up and flashed fr008, haha).
But I only had a couple apps on the SD card, and strangely enough, those were the only ones showing in my app drawer. (now they aren't...)
But I'll check that link and see whats going on with it, i'm just lost. haha.

If you had an EXT partition on the SD card when you flashed FR008 (which has DT A2SD built-in) will use it. Sounds like you may want to run the "a2sd check" command in the terminal emulator to see what's going on?
Hmm. I ran a2sd check:
it says "ext partition found, but not mounted, your rom may not be steup to run apps2sd. xxxxx
your partition may be ext4 but rom may not support ext4"
also, my apps are no longer showing up in market...i'm cursed. lol
a little update.
It seems my sd card was screwy. I swapped it for another one temporarily (copy/pasted the contents though, that didnt work, so i formatted it). The phone seems to work fine, but for some reason, my apps still show up in settings > applications. But no where else. I can't use astro to back them up, and I'm not sure what else i can possibly try (aside from wiping everything and installing a new rom, any suggestions on what rom, i'm thinking cm7, but i want sense ui still).
I'm just worried that its something *I* did and i dont want to do it again.
I had a similar issue before...and what I would do is:
1. Factory Wipe, Wipe Caches and Format both system and SDCard with an ext partition
2. Flash the ROM of your choice, then GAPPS
3. Start the process of setting everything up again.
It's the nature of the beast when using DT A2SD...when the card goes, so does everything on it, including your apps. It would be a great idea to back up everything on your phone (nandroid) then copy the nandroid backup (in the Clockworks folder on your SDCard) to a safe place (not on the SDCard) so that when this happens again you have a backup of your phone that doesn't die with the card. Don't worry this doesn't happen often, but a you see, it can happen.
Yeah, i sort of guessed it had to do with the sd card (had a small glitch about 3 days prior to this, with a program that was on the sd card). I just don't know why the apps that werent on the sd card went with the sd card, but showed up in settings -> applications still (though i could do nothing with them, and if i tried to "clear data" on them, it would fail). I flashed CM7 last night and started setting everything up again. I'm going to do the whole nandroid backup, and manual backup where i can pull the apks out of the backup, so i can have a script to reinstall everything quickly when I inevitably change roms again. lol (as you can see, i've been a member for some years now, started back with the titan/ppc6800)
anyway, if you didnt read all that above, i'll summarize:
THANKS.
i had the a similar problem my apps werent showing in my drawer and my widgets on my home screens kept saying problem loading widget so i wiped everything reinstalled my rom switched to adw ex and everything has been fine since

its general info, since it isnt the actual guide to rooting.
Good find OP. Seems really straight forward. This will be my day 1 project.
Why was this moved to the dev section? Mods, there is already the ROOT thread, there was no need to move this. =\
I appreciate there are some differences, but why is the process more complex than the Acer A500. Al you do with there is:
1. Set as debug
2. Make sure an microsd is installed
3. Install the root apk
4. Run the apk
5. Reboots in five minutes and rooted
I'm assuming its the differences in the kernals, before the OTA updates, the transformer sounded pretty easy, but now they've locked things down since then
The new root allows boot custom boot and recovery partitions to be flashed to the device. Aloowing for nandroid backups and restores

Only get root with certain apps. Titanium doesn't work, nor does setcpu. Root explorer seems to.

Can we flash ROMs from internal memory as well?
I don't think so, as part of installing CWM you have to have an microsd card inserted. So I'm pretty sure at this point they don't have a version to use just the internal memory.
Also I did a nandroid and it looks like CWM currently backs up EVERYTHING on the internal SD card. Looking in storage i have about 380 Mb of system, 1.7 for media but my nandroid was ~2 GB.
If this is true, may be a problem down the road, where your nandroid may take almost your whole microsd just to store.

If this is true, may be a problem down the road, where your nandroid may take almost your whole microsd just to store.

Just transfer off old nandroids and put back on as needed. Just means you have to make sure you have at least enough space to hold the nandroid you want to put on/restore to though.
32GB MicroSD FTW!

Yeah... I only have an 8GB with 12 GB of stuff on the E3T so nandroid is a no-go for me at the moment ):
Tell me about it, I've got a 16GB in the desire that's never more than half full but I only had a 4GB lying around when I got the transformer so I'm tight on space till I get something bigger.
I am going to get a 32GB card for this and keep my media on it rather than the transformer. That way the transformer shouldn't get too big for nandroids.
I'm sure it's only a matter of time before honeycomb is ripped apart and we will be able to mount the /sdcard partition to a part of the nand that isn't backup up by nandroid. It lives in /data/media at the moment but a custom MTD could take care of that if such a thing existed yet...
Wouldn't this prevent me from being able to receive future OTA's though? Or do we have a way to flash an SBF of some sort (I'm pretty sure we don't).
Of course no updates from Asus but devs will give us the updates instead after taking the bad crap out.
i did every steps< 5. Wait up to 10 minutes for gingerbreak to do its stuff, once its done you will have SU (#) symbol< got the symbol try the other steps didnt work reboot ...now im trying to do it again and i get permission denied????
re run the chmod 777 xxx/xxx/xxx command and then try gingerbreak again

Cannot do a Nandroid backup,file's always corrupted

Hey guys,just got a chance to flash something on my DHD after exams,but as I always do a Nandroid backup prior to flashing,I faced an annoying issue.
First off,I have LeeDroid 3.1.1 with EXT4,dunno if it has anything to do with it.
Now,I reboot into recovery(with everyway possible) and make a backup.I have 3.5 free gigs and backup goes well,file is about 1.6 gigs(huge! ).Then,I reboot and check the md5 with Android File Verifier(very handy btw) and it says either that it can't verify my data.img or,in the case of my last three tries,it says the md5 file is empty,so it's corrupted in any case.
I'm not talking about some random cases,but since yesterday I might well have made ten to fifteen nandroid backups and ALL were ****ed up.
And what's worse?My ORD is itching me!It overwhelms me!
Any ideas guys?Phone's getting desperate as I'm losing my temper(I'll break it if it continues like this)!
Thanks guys!
Still nothin' eh?No one got this problem?

I realise that Android file verifier has told you that the Nandroid backup is corrupt but is it really or a problem with android file verifier?, What version of CWR are you running? best try the most recent which has full support for ext4. Last but least is it possible that your SD card is corrupt? possibly reformat your card or try a different one.

Well,I used both 3.0.2.8 and 3.2.0.0 but to no avail.And no,the problem isn't with AFV,I also checked with my pc.Dunno about the SD card though.If I try a different one I will lose many things as I have most games on my SD card(wouldn't have enough space in /data).And copying over 16 gigs of data isn't exactly my favourite activity.
Now I'm really depressed.

Now (and for the last 3-4 times) when I check the nandroid.md5 file it says among other things "The selected file does not appear to be formatted like an nandroid.md5 file".
Similarly,md5summer says something about an error opening md5 file(empty or something).

Certainly sounds like a dodgy SD card to me, try a different one in the phone attempt a nandroid and verify it, if it works it's your card and you wont lose anything as you can always slip the old card back in, Beware though if your card is corrupt your going to lose everything on it eventually!
I oso cant seem to make a nandroid backup ... It fails "every" time except the first time I have completely backup my DHD only... Can someone help me to solve the prob.... Plz...
