Hello all. I had a go of an ICS rom and had to re-partition to do so - used TPT helper. Problem I have now is I can't restore my CM7 rom from nandroid backup, which I suspect is due to the partitioning thing. I didn't make a note of the original partition sizes though, so I'm wondering how I'm going to go back. Anyone got any suggestions?
Cheers,
Alex

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.
Hi all,
It seems I must have deleted the gingerbread nandroid backup I did before moving to ICS a while ago. There is now a need for me to move to GB for a few hours whilst I test something out.
Is anyone able to either:
- Point me in the direction of instructions on how to revert back to GB
or
- upload a STOCK GB nandroid that I can restore via cwm
thanks!
Have you looked in the development section? I'm sure there's stock GB ROMs available to just download and flash. I don't think anyone's gonna give you an actual nandroid as you'd then be logged into their account.

Is it safe to just flash a lower version ROM.. I was under the impression that it wasnt hence the request..
Just backup whatever you're on right now.
And do a FULL WIPE in CWM.
Then flash a GB ROM.
You can run (mostly) any ROM regardless of what your kernel, radio baseband.
You can't downgrade only when you do official updates like OTA.

Yes. Make a backup first and make sure you format /system and /boot along with the factory reset. And of course if you use Titanium don't restore any system data.

Does anyone happen to have a nandroid backup for ThinkPadTablet_A310_02_0037_0075_US?
I'm confused - your thread title requests a different backup than the message.
I may have the 0075 in my backups, I'll look and see.
Wow just noticed that I did that. I'm looking for the 0075 nandroid backup. MANY thanks in advance if you happen to have one.

cool ker2gsr! Happy to help. I was thinking about building another nandroid of 0075 without Lenovo bloatware. I'm guessing both types of backups might be useful in the long run.
Dwilli40 - could you edit the thread title to reflect your request for 0075? It may help others to find a solution if they are in similar straights.

pwstein,
Thank you so much for this Nandroid backup!
This is exactly what I need to get my TPT back to being able to run encryption.
My current ROM has been updated to 0089_US.
Are there any issues I should be aware of in using this Nandroid backup to roll back to 0075?
Please advise me accordingly.
Thanks!
Konker
Konker,
No issues to speak of. It is a factory reset, booted through startup without wifi, no account info provided, Lenovo standard bloatware, and no customization. SuperUser is already installed and active. The backup folder was renamed and then added to a zip file.
My tablet has a Gobi3000 wwan card installed, otherwise a standard 1838 with 32gb storage.
I hope it helps anyone who didn't get a backup made before upgrading.
Unzip file to sd-card /clockworkmod/backup/
Put sd-card in tablet
Shut down, boot to CWR, (make your own backup), restore to 0075
Enjoy
I keep getting a MD5 checksum error. I have tried to re-downloading several times but still getting the error. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Try from the uploads I put on everyrandom.com today. The previously linked one was uploaded (550MB) on 3G cell service, likely screwing it up somehow.
edit: everyrandom.com/files wasn't serving the files correctly. They have been removed.

I was also so I installed the second CWM version about half way through that thread, and the restore went smooth.
Whoa, I just realized I never installed the improved CWR port. Mine is the original CWR that was offered up on the first day of Root. I should remember that because I ALWAYS pull my SD-Card out before performing factory resets. I heard the CWR update fixed that...
I'll note that in my Nandroid post. Thanks for the heads up.
I figured out what was going on. I guess when I extracted the files, it put the files in a sub folder with the name as the original folder.
I tried to download from the other post also, but it was like the files had been removed from the site.

Where can I find the supposed updated CWM port? I cannot find it in this thread nor anywhere related to the TPT.
Please advise me.
Thanks!
I fixed it to a direct download link for the no bloat nandroid.

I updated the CWM on my TPT with this version & I discovered that the recovery console is not as stable.
No long after I reboot into CWM recovery, perhaps about 10 secs, my TPT rebooted itself.
Has anyone observed this behavior?
I'm going to try download again & see how it goes.

So I haven't really used any custom ROMs due to the huge work needed after flashing one, I have too many apps installed and save games that I don't wish to lose.
Well I've decided to check out a few of the ROMs today and see which one I will like best, but I would first like to ask how I would back up my stock ROM is the first place. Now as far as I know you can do a nandroid backup using CWM and so I did that, it made a backup of my stock ROM along with data files off all the apps.
Now let's say I've been with this custom ROM for a few weeks and I'm sick of it, and I would like to return to the stock one. Can I restore stock by flashing CWM again, going to the backup menu and choose restore and then browse to the backup I made? Will it restore my stock ROM + data without problems?
Another thing I'm curious to know is, what's the best way to backup all of my apps along with their save games so that I can restore them to the custom ROM once I've flashed it? I've read about Titanium Backup but I do not see a "Select all" option, backup one after another would be a pain.
I hope I didnt confuse anyone with all these questions.
Use batch operation in TBackup
It allows u to backup n restore all apps+data
You can restore ur backup

Stupid me, how could I have not noticed that option. Thanks I have just started backing everything up, I suppose the correct option is "Backup all user apps + system data"?
As for the stock ROM backup, will it work as I said? I've read that CWM has bugs when it comes to restoring such nandroid backups. Also do I need to wipe cache and data before I can restore my stock nandroid backup?

1) Yes, its the correct option. It even backups save games and the entire data
2) It doesnt matter if you wipe data or not. But its fine if you dont do that. I dont wipe data at every nandroid restore and had no problems. Either way its the same, no need to worry about this. CWM backups wont restore or give some problems only when you restore a backup with different kernel. For restoring to work perfectly , the present kernel(before restore) and to be restored kernel must be the same.

Great, thank you.
For now I have transfered all the files from my TitaniumBackup folder to my computer. I am planning on transferring them back to my SD card once the ROM flashing is complete. After I put the TitaniumBackup folder on my SD card, I install Titanium Backup again and it will read the backups right? Then all I do is choose the option to restore them all and it will work with no problems?
Sorry again for too much questions but I always like to be on the safe side when doing such things, :angel: I crapped my pants when I ended up with a bootloop on my old phone :laugh:

Hi Guys,
Im looking to update my dads phone today and just have a quick question (it been a while since i did it and am a bit rusty)
Basically he currently has MIUI-STABLE V5 by langthang android 2.37 installed (i know i used Magldr for this but arnt sure of the exact process)
I basically just want to update to the last gingerbread Miui Rom (so i can just keep all his data as it is, not fussed about JB or ICS) i beleive this is 2.4.20
If i were to just drop this into the root of the sd card could i just use CWM to install this ROM without the need to do a system wipe? and just do Dalvik and Cache? Im hoping this will then put the phone on a stable build (it was having bluetooth issues)
Also once that is done can i add a EXT3 partition on the sd card(something i forgot last time!! and it now says no storage)
Thank for any help,just to sum up haha, i just want to update the rom to solve the BT issue, and add a EXT 3 (i found some instructions fo this) so it has more 'system memory' thanks for any help guys.
If it's the same ROM and uses the same /system partition (on occasion they change even if the ROM is the same) then that should be fine. I'd strongly recommend backing up in Titanium backup first at the very least (CWM backups can take a long time) just in case something goes wrong.

Thanks for your repl, im not 100% sure if its technically the same ROM, as the one installed (stil MIUI and GB) was a modded one from here. and the one im looking to install is the 'official' MIUI one (Still GB)n

In that case backup and fresh install, it won't work if it's not the same ROM. If the system partition is the same, wipe in CWM then flash the new ROM. Download and install Titanium Backup on your new ROM and restore your apps.
