Hi All
Have a bit of a problem restoring a nandroid backup.
I rooted my N1 (Vodafone NZ) with the UniversalAndroot app, installed Rom Manager, then ClockworkMod. From there I performed a nandroid backup before flashing CM6-RC2.
The flashing went ok but I got stuck with the boot loop problem, so decided to restore from backup. The problem now is nandroid (2.5.0.1) is has hung after about an hour trying to restore event_data "at sign" 128....lost.
I understand the restore should take a while, but how long is too long. I haven't tried to pull the battery yet. Will nandroid remove clockworkmod. My other thoughts are to try to flash CM6 again, or stock 2.2 from this elsewhere on XDA.
Any help, thoughts, ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Apologies for posting in wrong forum.
So pulled the battery and seems to be ok. Back to out of box exept running 2.2. Titanium seems to be installing app and restoring settings ok.
Quite disappointed as was really keen to try CM, but has put me off a bit. Will wait till CM6 is stable and try again, maybe use AmonRa

ok, I have had both the two versions of 2.2 on my phone and I love froyo but in both cases I can not tap on a photo and share it through email. I found a thread with another gmail.apk and I adb pushed it and cleared the program but nothing seems to work. I must have my gmail working. So does anyone know how to fix it or hot to get 2.1 back?
currently:
2.2
Baseband:
2.05.00.06.11

I'm guessing you didn't make a nandroid backup before flashing, right?

No I did, do I just boot in to recovery and then restore?

Nandroid Backups are not always helpful. I had done a complete Nandroid backup of my 2.1 before I installed 2.2.. and when I wanted to go back.. I wiped 2.2 first and then tried to load from the nandroid backup. the backup worked.. but it was extremely buggy.. kept rebooting and freezing all the time.
Fortunately, the latest 2.2 that came out a couple of days ago worked well for me.

The only reason I went back to 2.1 is because both of the 2.2's i loaded would not let me send pictures through email. I loaded different Gmail.apk's and nothing would fix the problem, I loved 2.2 but cant live with out a working Gmail.apk
As long as I leave repartition and all that other stuff unchecked, right?
(I checked through the board, couldn't find the answer)
No it does not, but just in case you should backup your stuff, if you encounter a problem, you should be good tho, i updated the modem no problem, no data loss..
I flashed just the modem with no problems but like david said a nandroid backup is always ideal before flashing anything.

Actually ive been fed up with clockwork backups, i started just put titanium back up on schedule at 3 am to back up all apps and app data and account stuff, nothing at all for the system as i can just wipe data reflash the rom fresh then use titanium backup, just to restore apps and important app save and account and thats it..
Clockwork has given me to much trouble and also annoying to back up all the time where as it takes forever, where as its backing up in titatanium back up frquently every day, and never have to worry about losing anything if i need to odin, wipe or what ever.
Clockwork has failed to restore properly and still gives me fcs that i occured before and after the nandroid restore.
i just got sick of it so i switched my back up method
I want to install some custom roms on my GS2(currently on rooted stock KE7 with CF-Root KF1 kernel),but I have a question that still is unanswered,as anything I've found isn't exactly clearly saying what I need.
So,I've made a nandroid backup with CWM 4.0.0.2 yesterday.If I install a custom rom and then decide to come back to stock,will restoring that nandroid backup be exactly as it was with my older HTC devices?Will it be like nothing happened when it's done?I'm asking cause I went through a lot of trouble configuring everything the way I want,so having a backup like I'm used to having makes me feel much safer.
Thanks!
Hey guys so I have a weird problem.
I can't restore my new backups.
That means all backups I did 2 weeks ago are restorable but now, when I do a backup of my current cyanogenmod rom and try to restore it, I get stuck at the HTC boot screen.
I heard it's because I used rom manager and sometimes rom manager destroys the PC10IMG, is that true??
Same thing happened to me. I had to do everything all over again. It will be nice if there is some more information about the problem. Thank you.

don't trust rom manager to perform recovery operations through its gui with any consistency.
if you're going to perform a recovery operation, just do it through CWM and save the hassle.
Well I did it all /backups & recovery/ through CWM and just hang on the welcome screen. Not that it was important because I only wanted to back up something I forgot after intending of installing a new rom, but still the question remains and it will be helpful for future time
I've found that Nandroid backups are unreliable if I'm at all low on free space on the SD Card. Even if there are no errors during the backup. I make sure I've got at least room for two whole backups now. Seems to solve the problem.
Hi,
Sorry if this has been answered already but I did search the forum and couldn't find an answer.
So 2 days ago I got into flashing my Sam GS2, I followed the instructions completely, I made a NAND backup of my current ROM.
I used ROM manager to install Cyanogen nightly ROM build 75, which I liked a lot but the camera didn't work and realised after it was a test build, so decided to go back to my current ROM. I went into CWM recovery and restored, within 5 mins I was back to like nothing happened.
I then download VillanROM 3.0, again a few bugs so I decided install TK ROM 3.6 I never restored to backup this time as I thought that wasn't necessary, but when I now restore my backup through CWM I get my settings but not my data?
Why is this? The backup file is still there and the same size as before, have I done something wrong?
The reason why I restored was after finding that TK ROM was a stable ROM I forgot to back up my GO SMS settings and Smart keyboard pro settings so I wanted to back up to SD card, re-install the apps and then just restore the settings, now it looks like I won't be able too.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Me for one fails to understand the problem .

Well short version.
I did a NAND backup so I could go back to original ROM just incase things went pair shaped, I managed to restore to it after first flash, then on the 3rd time after realising that I forgot to back up certain app settings, I restored the NAND it does it reboots but only with settings and nothing else.
Can you help?
A failed nandroid restore looks to be a corrupt backup .

Well I thought as much, thought I was doing something wrong.
Just have make sure I do 2 backups next time.
Thanks for the reply.
