I had a Nook Color with stock 1.1.0
I downloaded the ClockworkMod Recovery (CWR) SD image, wrote it to my SD card, and booted.
Then from CWR, I did a Nandroid backup.
If I then do a Nandroid restore of this backup, the device will not boot.
The Nandroid restore says it is successful. Then I hold the power button to shut down.
Then I remove the SD card, and power on.
On first boot after the restore it brings up the "install failed" screen.
So if I then shut down and reboot again, it will get to the "n" screen and stay there forever.
What is causing this?
If I forcefully interrupt the boot process 8 times, and then do a n/Home + Power factory reset, only then will it boot.
Thanks
Is there anyone out there who *has* successfully restored a ClockworkMod/nandroid backup of the Nook OS back to the Nook and had it be able to boot up?
I don't run the stock firmware, but if I was a betting man I'd bet you could find the answer here.........

Well i had disliked the new market that had come out so i had gone to settings>applications>manage applications>market and clicked remove updates. My phone had restarted and got stuck at the red eye of death loop. My phone is rooted with titanium backup downloaded however i did not backup everything i wanted to my sd card before the loop started. I don't want to factory restore as it would delete the data for all the stuff i didn't backup. I so far have been to recovery mode and deleted cache partition thinking that would not hurt the data but have not touched the factory reset button in recovery mode. Is there anyway to get to my phone. If this is not possible is there anyway to get to titanium backup and backup what i want before wiping anything else on my phone?
hi! all. how can i backup the current stock rom that is installed on my rooted tablet so that if i wish to install custom rom to try & if i don't like it i can still flash back the stock rom.
Obtain a MicroSD card, format and install in your A500 microSD slot. Install Acer Recovery from the Market. In the app, install the new recovery. Say "yes" to backup the existing recovery. Once that finishes, chose the option to reboot into recovery. Once in recovery, chose the "restore and backup" menu, then "backup". The backup will take 5 minutes or so to complete. Chose option to "reboot system". Once Android comes back up, use a file manager app to go to your /mnt/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup and look for a file named "2011-08-08-03.58.40". This translates to the date and time you just did your backup. That's proof that you have a backup file. I would also use Titanium Backup to backup all apps and system files to make getting your new ROM functional easier once you get it flashed.
Once you have this backup, you can flash other ROMS to experiment. If you want to go back to stock, then boot back into recovery as above, or hold down on the volume- button, then push and hold the power button. Release both buttons when script appears in the upper left corner of the "Acer" boot screen. This should bring up the Acer Recovery menu you installed earlier (when you flash a new ROM be sure to reinstall this app). Again, chose the "restore and backup" menu, but this time chose restore. It should bring up your microSD directory and you should see the "2011-08-08-03.58.40" (or whatever date you did your backup). using the volume rocker, chose that file, press the power button, and restore that backup. That should take you back to your stock configuration. You'll probably have to reinstall your widgets though.

when using Titanium Backup, will it backup my games save data?
My I337 is stuck on the samsung logo. I was running PAC-Man ROM, and attempted to go back to AOKP using Nandroid restore, and now it won't boot up.
I wiped Data/Cache/D. Cache/System, then tried to flash AOKP, but this did not work. When I attempt to restore using nandroid it says "Restoring Data..." then it stops and says "Restore Complete Failed".
Is there any method to get back to stock using TWRP, I have a Stock Nandroid backup, but it won't restore.

If you can't get back into TWRP through normal process, sounds like you will have to go into download mode and Odin it using a stock ROM.

Did you make sure to 'factory reset' in TWRP before flashing or restoring?
You could try putting another ROM on your microSD card, boot to TWRP, factory reset, flash the new ROM, wipe dalvik/cache and reboot.
You remembered to flash lokidoki when required?
I was about to ODIN to get back to stock, but I wiped /data and /system on TWRP then REBOOTED (I didn't to that last time and the restore failed because it couldn't access /data). Then I restored to stock using nandroid successfully.
I will try to flash AOKP and see if it works..
Thanks
yeah thats the ticket.
For future reference, in twrp you can dl a rom into your pc and mount your sd card while in your phone in twrp and push the file to it. It has saved my butt a cpl of times after trying to do a restore that I had moved to the external sd card.
Hope this helps for future issues.

I tried restoring a nandroid backup on my phone and have been having trouble ever since. Upon restoring my nandroid backup, I restarted my phone but I couldn't get past the Samsung Splash Screen. So I started troubleshooting:
1) I restarted my phone, booted into recovery (TWRP), and wiped Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage and Cache. I then tried restoring my nandroid backup again. However, upon rebooting the device, I still couldn't get past the splash screen.
2) I installed Heimdall for Mac (like Odin) and flashed the latest TWRP recovery.img (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-jfltexx.tar). I tried to restore the nandroid again, but I still couldn't get past the splash screen.
3) I tried doing a fresh install of cm10.2 stable and still nothing.
Please, any help or direction would be awesome
Hello,
I recently did a backup (NucleaROM, 7.1) in TWRP and it strangely went to 101%. Stuck on "generating md5" for a minute.
Then, when I restarted my phone, it acted like 2 times slower than usual, from the boot animation, and didn't stop.
I then did a factory reset and tried flashing the ROM and Gapps again. Open GApps project couldn't finish, TWRP rebooted.
I received the "swipe to allow modifications" slide and actually slided it the second time, because I wasn't able to restore the first time, when I clicked on read only.
I now am stuck in the recovery, I have backups on my external card, TWRP won't read Internal card, I can't factory reset due to mount error and therefore can't restore any backup.
Everything went wrong just after trying to do a normal backup. What did I miss ?
Thx
Well good thing you have a backup on your external card. I'll suggest you perform a "Format Data" in the Advanced Wipe section of TWRP. It should be able to solve it. Looks like a minor corrupted storage problem.
