Hello,
I've flashed the Ginger Yoshi 5.1 on my phone but I didn't like it and wanted to switch back to RC4.
I tried restoring my RC4 Nandroid backup via Amon Ra's recovery but it failed with the following message: "could not do nandroid-mobile.sh" (or something like that).
I decided then to wipe the system and the cache and do a clean flash of the RC4.
Unfortunately, I'm stuck in the splash screen.
I have the latest radio and the unlocked xxx.xxx0013d SPL.
I can access to fastboot.
Is there a way to boot through Amon Ra's Recovery ?
Thank you guys
Never mind, I found the solution.
You can boot into Recovery mode while pressing HOME + OFF
Reflashing right now !

Hey maybe its smart to do a superwhipe i do the superwhipe, you can download en read more about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834812
it works for me just put the config and the superwipe in the root of youre sd, and flash the superwipe twice, and than youre rc5 gingerrom.
I'm pretty new to this sort of phone's i got my 32b like 3 days
Hope this could help ya...
Thank you for your reply,
Anyway, it's working fine with another wipe. But I'll download Ohsaka's Superwipe if the problem comes back...
Yet basically I wanted to restore my nandroid backup. How can I do this without having a fail ? I have renamed the backup, but I'm sure it's not corrupted...
Thanks !

It probably doesn't like what you renamed it to. Try renaming it again to something like "AAA".

hey guys
i flashed ARHD 6.1.5 to my dhd
i followed every step... but after reboot my dhd has been stuck at the start up htc logo.. only thing i can do is to pull out my battery and put it in again and start the bootloader. (reflashed the rom a few times, but no changes)
before i flashed arhd i made a backup of my former rom with clockworkmod recovery... now my recovery seems to be 4ext.
can i flash without any problem my backup with the 4exp recovery?
greetings
duluu
Did you do a superwipe before you flashed it?

the problem is clockworkmod didnt make a .zip... theres a image some .ext3 data
Backups in CWM aren't saved as zips. Just go ahead and select backup restore from the menu and then restore from the next menu. You should see your backup there to select. 4ext is very similar to CWM so there will be no problems.

ok now its workin fine thx
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.
check this website for more detail http://www.clockworkmod.com/
@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.
Hi folks,
5 day ago i rootet my tablet 16GB WE and installed Koshu`s CWM step by step like discribed in his threat [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831161]. At the end there was an error message..., i was too quick and made an reboot bevor i could read it.
But i tested if i rooted the tablet succesfully and the superuser-app said that i am root now....
Then i installed the v.0.8.1 Version and everything was fine!
a few days later i got reboots during normal use.
Now i cant boot in the OS, there are bootloops the hole time.
I think that i have not installed the CWM correct...
Any ways to check this with adb commands or something else?
It would be great if someone could help me....
Sorry for my bad english!

You can still boot into CWM? Well you could make a backup of the installed recovery (like shown in the CWM thread) and check if the md5sums are equal to the downloaded image. Btw. linebreaks in the logcat would really help reading it

yes i can Boot into CWM, but i cant restore my backup. I tried to install cm10 clean again but after rebooting CWM and booting the OS Android is updating the apps. But i did a full wipe bevor.Thats why i think that the CWM is not in an good state.
i am in the road and maybe i can later check the md5sum.
I can attach an picture from the CWM during trying formating and fixing permissions.
thank you!

I linked a zip file in the CM10 Thread that formats the data partition: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846044
You can find it in the "addition steps" section. Beware that it will delete all your personal data including the internal sd-card (also nandroid backups if you have stored them on the internal sdcard). So make sure you have EXTERNAL backups if you want to keep some of the data.

I have nearly the same problem.
I rooted my TPT a few weeks ago, today I was reading about Cyanogen and decided to install CWM. After some issues with the adb drivers, I managed to install the clockwork recovery.
Now I followed the steps from the cm-thread. I did a nandroid backup and wiped my tablet. After that, I flashed CM10. But all I get is the CyanogenMod logo spinning around.
I tried to go back to my nandroid backup, but it seems broken somehow.
I also tried several several CM-versions and downloaded them several times, without success. But I realised, that the installation procedure of CM was very quick, too quick maybe? Could it be that my clockworkmod isn't installed correctly, because the installation of CM and the nandroid backup won't work.
I hope you guys can help me out. Because I only could find nandroid backups for ROW and US version. I also don´t have adb access anymore.

But how can formatting my data partition help? You mean after a format, the installation of cm would work?
And how do I use the .zip, just flashing with cwm?

You have to download the formatdata.zip on your external sd-card.
After that you can boot in the recovery and flash this .please dont juse the cwm! Do you know how to boot into the recovery?
Power on and during that you should drop-down the volume + key a few seconds.
This helped me and others.

I was thinking about 2 possible solutions right now.
1. get another nandroid backup (Problem didnt see any for the 16gb WE version)
2. try no reflash another CWM version or maybe ventana cwm and try again to flash Cyanogen (don't know if its possible to just flash another recovery as an image with the current working recovery)
So what do you guys think?

You were running ICS before flashing to CM, right?

My suggestion: Flash the formatdata.zip and than install the last v0.9.2 from koshu located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846044

Problem solved. CM is running. Thanks for your help, exspecialy to you tpauli.
The formatdata.zip was the key
One last question. I am using the folio keyboard with an european layout (qwertz), but with Cyanogen it is us layout (qwerty). How can I change this?
So, I thought I'd see what Jelly Bean was like on the Galaxy S. I have had CM9 on there for a while.
Thought I'd be sensible and do a Nandroid backup - never done that before but seems like a sensible thing.
It all backs up fine. So I reboot the phone and it's in a boot loop. I also can't use the three button combo to get back to recoverly - only the three button download combo works.
What is going on? I only did a backup!
Just to add the complete set of steps. I have the latest stable CM9 installed already.
Boot into recovery.
Select backup/restore.
Select backup.
Wait for backup to finish.
Back one screen.
Reboot phone.

Its possible when you reboot phone, your new settings might have taken effect that were there earlier . ( Normally for a complete change of ROM, you need to wipe before and after flashing a ROM, failing to do so, can have some effect when phone is rebooted. )
