I was backing up nandoid on among ra and it says backup failed. I tried again. Rebooted and tried again. What happened? I restored a few days ago and tried it still doesn't work.

happened to me before, i just said F**K it and started fresh.
Check how much space you have on your SD card. I had the same problem because it didnt have enough space to run a full nand. Just put your other nand backups on your PC and retry.

In case the SD card isn't the issue, you can back up the recovery log to the SD card. I think it's under "other"... maybe?

Next time you run into an issue like this, under advanced options you can move the recovery.log to the sd card. then open the recovery log in a text editor such as notepad and read towards the end. It will tell you why it failed.

Got a question to which I haven't been able to find the answer to. I'm switching from an 8gb to 16 gb sd card on a rooted dinc with s-off, 2.5 radio and stock 2.1 rom. Do I need to root again or will the phone read the card and everything is the same?
Also, had anyone tried a 32 gb card.
Thanks
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
32GB card is definitely great, I love mine!
As far as swapping, if you have done the unrevoked3 method of rooting then you are fine. The original root method left busybox on the sdcard, in which case it just needed to be swapped over. But now, you're golden.
Where is busybox located on the sd card?
Sent from my rooted Incredible using XDA App
If you rooted by using the race condition (where you had to use a loop batch and pop in/out your memory card) then busy box will be on /sdcard. If you used unrevoked3 then it is internally on your phone.
Either way if you are rooted, I'd recommend the busy box installer app from the market. It keeps it up to date for you
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Nice. Thanks guys. Might go pick up a 32gb instead of a 16gb.

I believe that the original root's update.zip copied busybox from the SD card to the filesystem.

It's just /sdcard, not /system/sdcard

I was using my phone as usual pandora, browsing, etc. I was connected to computer via usb and usb storage was on. I disconnected without turning off usb storage and immediately realized my mistake. android tripped out kept restarting and would barely make it past cyanogen splash before restarting again untill I pulled the battery. now that card will not boot haret loads but gets stuck on black screen with linux penguin. not just the build I disconnected usb from any build on sd is a no go.
so I backed up all my files on the sd card reformatted the card and restored files. still no go. now the same hyperdroid 1.6 folder I had on 16g card (first) is booting fine on another 8g sd card?
how can I restore my 16g? it functions fine in any other way. even backtrack 4 installation is booting when using as usb hdd(my phone is the micro usb adapter)
before Im grilled I did search however I may not have used correct keywords.

You may try deleting your data image and giving it a fresh one with a complete load. If you use titanium backup from market you can restore all your apps.
There may be something in the data.img that wont allow you to boot.
I could be way off but its worth a try. Best of luck.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I had something similar happen when I ran out of power while rebooting. Formatting in windows didn't fix it. Formatting using the SD formatter couldn't complete. Eventually, I did a wipe disk using another program. Then used SD formatter and it worked. Hope that helps.
I tried your method however I cannot for the life of me figure out titanium backup. I created an update.zip using program however I cannot get build into recovery mode also I cannot find even a hint of how to restore the backup I made in the program or using google.

I'd all your apps are backed up then get it booted into android start titanium backup and look for the batch option in the menu. Then choose the option to restore user apps and go from there.

Where did you get your SD card from cuz it sounds like it may be starting to go bad. I'd try formating again with a stock ROM...bit of a pain i know, but might produce a better result also you may wanna try to just reformat a few times in a row with your current ROM to see if it corrects the problem.
best option is if it keeps up is to pull your SD card out of your device and format with a computer when u have access to one then format using your device.
So this morning I was deleteing files off my sd card from my phone. Then tried to mount it through my computer to put some files on. Wouldn't mount on the pc via the phone.
Disconnected it and it no longer was mounted on my phone.
Took out the card and used a card reader and it no longer was able to be read on my pc without the phone.
Anyone have any ideas to get my sd card back and working. Currently I had to resort to using a 2gb card that I could fill within seconds.

Mine did this yesterday after flashing a ROM. Lost everything. I was able to see things using CWM but not the phone itself or the PC. Formatted it with CWM and it wiped everything but still the phone or computer wouldnt read it. I waited a couple hours and loaded it back into my computer and just left it. A couple minutes later Windows popped up a box asking if I wanted to format it. I did a quick format and it read the card size. Previously it errored out saying it could not format it. I dont know what happened and why it all of a sudden worked

Okay. Hi! My first question on here.
I have recently installed CM 10.1 to my Nook Colors' eMMc. When I check >Settings>Storage it says internal memory is 4GB and my external SD is only 1GB.
I have a 4GB SD inserted.
Is this normal?
Can I boot without an SD inserted?
**UPDATE**
I can boot without an SD inserted but it still says I have 4GB+ of memory even though the SD card is not inserted.
Again, is this normal??
Thanks!!
PS This is the first time I have installed to eMMc. Every other time has been SD Card based.

Those /settings/storage have nothing to do with your external SD. Those are telling you how much room you have for apps (4GB) and how much room for media files (1GB), all of which is on internal memory.

Also I have been trying to load cm10.2 but it isn't working. The screen goes black and the backlight stays on when I do manual.
When I try going thru cmupdater it boots to recovery and tries to run it but then quickly boots back into current rom.
Any ideas?

Could be a bad download. Try redownloading. And before manually flashing the zip, format /system and factory reset with CWM.

No luck after manual write and fresh download. 10.2 just doesn't want to install. I keep getting the black screen with backlights on. I may try 11.

That does not show that you formatted /system. To do that go to mounts and storage and select 'format system'. Do no other formatting on that section. Just that and the 'factory reset/wipe data' on the first screen. And that message usually means a bad download. Did you test the md5 sum after you downloaded it?
Edit: and it seems the newest CM11 nightly needs CWM v6048 also.

Negatory on the md5 sum check.

Will that affect my bootloader/recovery?

Yes. running v6.0.4.7
downloading latest nightly and gapps
will be formatting system, data/cache, dalvik cache
then installing cm zip, followed by gapps
sound about right?
