Hello HD2 users,
This may seem like very basic information but got me confused so i want to share it with you. Its about restoring nandroid backups.
The Experiece:
I had the typhoon rom working very well. Its fast and smooth and i like it alot. Anyways, being a flash junkie and wanting to try out different roms all the time i wanted to try a sense 3.5 rom. It required a greater internal memory partition 200 or 245mb. I currently had 150mb.
So anyways, i made a nandroid backup in CWM and then flashed a new partition size, flashed the new sense rom and it was working. I didnt like it. I wanted the typhoon rom back. I booted into CWM and restored the backup. BUT it didnt work. The backup restored successfully but due to low internal memory, it didnt even go to the boot animation. Just stayed on the boot image.
The lesson:
To restore your nandroid backups and run them u need to restore them on the SAME partition size that you made them on.
If u made a backup with 200mb partition, the restored backup will ONLY WORK if your partition is still 200mb.
Just some basic info. Hope it helps people out
Peace

I would dispute that, and say that it is more likely that your increased system partition size resulted in the data partition being too small to restore fully.
Did you make sure you did a 'wipe data factory reset' before restoring? since leftovers on the sd card could be causing problems too.
did you try 'fix permissions'?
(Always happy to be proven wrong, of course, i'm no great mind when it comes to android, but i'm ((fairly) sure ive restored to larger partitions before)

Yes i did fix permissions and wipe data/cache and dalvik cache too.
When i was using the typhoon rom i had like 200something used internal memory. And some 37 left. Not exact figures. So roughly 240mb is available after the partition. When i increase the partition, less than 240 is available. Maybe thats the reason?. Im not too sure too. Lets wait for some expert guy

I am no "expert guy" but I have proved your theory wrong because I had a jelly bean Rom installed with a 150 mb partition and backed it up. Then this afternoon I remembered I needed a number from a text I received on that rom. I had since already repartitioned my phone to 250 mb and flashed a sense 3.5 Rom. I just restores my back up of jb made in a smaller partition and worked like a charm. Don't know the logistics behind it, just know it works

So, if I have a ROM (CMYLXGO's Stock Desire) w/ 425 MB system partition and I back it up with CWM , then install another ROM with 150MB system partition (installing the 150MB partition prior to install of course), do I need to repartition back to the 425MB prior to restoring the 425MB partitioned backup?
Common sense would tell me yes, BUT, I figured I would ask just in case I am wrong!

What will be the problem if i dont perform repartition?
I had been wondering if a nandroid backup would restore old partition sizes, since it backs up everything, but yeah i guess it makes sense that it can't change the size of the recovery partition, since that's what cwm is running from at the time of backup/restore. But does nandroid restore system and cache partition sizes?

No, the restore just loads the partition contents into the partition, it doesn't adjust the sizes, or recreate them,, just loads the backed up contents into it.
searched around and can't really find right answers.
I currently have HD2 with 512mb running android. Due to the lack of internal storage space, all apps are stored in the EXT4 on the SD card. This is a very neat function actually. Every time I flash a rom, all the apps will still be there.
I am about to get the DHD soon and since it's got plenty internal storage I guess it's natural to install app on internal rather than on SD (i know some rom do have support for EXT on SD). My question is, is there a way to partition the internal storage so part of it act as EXT, this way every time flashing a rom I don't have to restore all the apps??
If there is another way to achieve this, please let me know as well.
thanks,
No need to do anything like that. Before you flash a new ROM just wipe all the partitions apart from the data partition. Once you have flashed the ROM your apps will still be there.
You can use an add on script for apps to SD as well if you prefer.

Good to know that there will be no problem re-installing apps. Since I can't get hands dirty with an actual unit yet, could you please explain a little on the "wiping all the partitions apart from data partition". So by default, apps will be installed in a separate partition? what do you use to WIPE paritions? Clockwork or wipe-all?
Go into clockwork recovery you can select which partitions to wipe. Go into the mounts part and you can wipe them individually, wipe each one in turn apart from the data partition.
If however you experience problems yo. May have to wipe the data partition. Just do a backup first.

Hi Guys,
As we all know that the Atrix now has support from ROM Manager and official CWM by koush has been released.
It has some bugs as now, so we can use this thread to report the bugs, those of you who are using it, please report bugs here and I will consolidate them in the first post and then we can report them to koush so that he can fix them.
I hope this will help everyone including koush.

Thanks guys. updated OP.
I am able to make backups, and see the files on my INTERNAL SD Card (since there is no external sdcard support yet) but i have not tried a Restore using the backup files that the backup process created.
I ran a normal backup, which should have included everything
im a little hesitant to run restore in worries that it will fatally screw something up

Yeah, I heard it would complete a backup but you wouldn't find out it went wrong until you tried to restore
I think everyone is afraid to try it out...The dev can do a little more testing I suppose before he releases something

Hmmm good point.. Seems like someone is gonna have to take one for the team and try a backup to see if it works lol. I'm gonna take a peak through the other recent Rom Manager threads and see if anyone mentioned anything with more details about a backup.
External SD access is really a bug. Its looking for sd-ext instead of sdcard-ext.
Backups complete. Restores fail b/c one of the first steps is to format /system...which fails.
Wipe doesn't work, back up completes, but will not restore, gives error after first step.
i was able to flash a restore. but after it was very bugggggy

Hi
During more than year of my "android on hd2 experience" I've had no problems at all. To be honest i became quite handy on this field.
recently I was using two roms daily HyperDroid-CM7 and testing NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich Beta.
on NexusHD2 rom i install Data2SDInstaller.
and my problem started when I wanted to go back to HyperDroid.
boot animation stuck, of course i tried clk / magdlr different partition sizes always task29...without any effects. Now I tried NexusHD2 ICS 4.0.3 CM9 V1.0 , finally went through boot animation,when i saw Setup Wizard the messages appear immediately: "Unfortunetly, the process ....... has stopped" and when I click OK appears next and the next message , such as contacts, Email, calendar, etc. i thing all of the possible .. later message: Setup Wizard not responding.
And it happens on magdlr/300/5
I've read already about bad NAND blocks, and in recovery.log I did not detect any of them
I tried to run MTTY but I have a problem with drivers win7x64: - /
Does anyone know what's wrong with my HD2 and how to solve it.
you remembered to wipe the sd-ext partition and .android folder (cwm - wipe data / factory reset) right?
there are folders on both sd-ext and on the fat32 partition that will screw with new installs.

Like he said, you need to wipe your sd card, ext and fat32. Both parts. This is majorly important since you used Apps 2SD!!
Another thing, I think your system size is way off. 200/5 for cLK if not 180/5 and for magldr probably like 200/44 but at least 10mb of cache..
I'm not too sure if this will help or not but this is my experience.
I have been on these forums for a while and using Hyperdroid for quite some time now as well. The reason why I do not have any posts on this account is because I switched over just today, my old account was imarte068.
When trying to update my Hyperdroid the other day through magdlr I encountered an issue. No matter the partition size or sd-card, it always managed to get stuck on boot. I got frustrated and attempted to re-flash countless times. After many attempts I gave up and just used an MIUI rom.
Several days later I devoted myself to solving the issue. After about an hour or so of trial and error I fixed it. I simply re-flashed the kernel after the installation of the rom. I am using magdlr therefore I do not know if the process will be the same for clk.
Hope I could be of help.
I thought it was a sdcard and i delete all partition and make it new.
I do always full wipe and dalvic...

Try re-flashing the kernel as I said in the post above.
Link to kernel here.
Hope I could be of help.
This may spur some argument, but in my experience task 29 is the key if you're having problems. many people say wipe with cwm the system boot davlik cache, etc but in my testing when I'm having a problem and need to solve it task 29 has been the answer almost everytime. Partition size is huge as well. Another thing if you were using apps2 SD on ics it was bugged. Without formatting your SD it is possible that it could bug your system.

Im using 220 with 5mb cache. ICS running smooth without any problems. And no need to fully wipe sdcard. Would be stupid to delete the whole card just for flashing a new rom hehe. Its enough to wipe the (dalvik) cache and sd-ext partition via CWM.
For data2sd use the 'how to' from post #207 and the flashable file from post #174 in tytungs ics cm9 v1 thread. I think it removes old app2sd or data2sd scripts. Worked without any formatting of my sdcard.. works like a charm.
Btw.. ever tried to fix permissions? First thing you should try if you get FC.
Just do (re)install the rom like the guy in post #207 described but with the file from #174 (40ad2sdx-a2Recovery.zip)
And im using my hd2 now for more then one year. NEVER used task29.

As I said people will disagree. I will say that in most cases you're right though, wiping the davlik cache is enough. I am just saying from my personal experience there are sometimes when it isn't (at least on my phone). I'm not trying to start an argument, I just want to help him.

big thanks mates for advice.
So far I haven't had time for it but for sure tomorrow or on the weekend, I will deal with this and I will let you know how it goes.
In brief I run ICS all fine, but HyperDroid not starting.
Here is how i try:
________
Ok I was using WP7 and whats I made:
SD card: I delete all partition, I make only one Fat32 than in CWM I made ext partition.
Task29 > Clk 200/5 > recovery > install HyperDroid-CM7-v5.7.0 > And here phone stuck before boot animation, only white android robo > then as flamgodian advice I install kernel thins. > Same without boot animation.
Second try
Task29>clk 220/5>recovery>wipe(all possible)>install HyperDroid-CM7-v5.7.0>same robo>fix permision> install kernel this> I saw robo for 10s and phone self reboot after reboot > stuck :/
I have not seen even the boot animation.
Task29>clk 220/5>recovery>wipe(all possible)>install NexusHD2-ICS-CM9>Kernel>
He goes
__
I make like redplate(Big Thanks) write with installation 40ad2sdx, and everything runs great.
I will stay with ICS but it is strange why my phone doesn't like HyperDroid Rom.
And from here I would like to thank you all for advice.
Hello everyone! Yesterday, I tried to flash the new ICS CM9 and I did it. It is laggy and I can t install GAPPS.Then i saw that my system partition is 160 mb instead of 215 (recommended).
So, how can I change my system partition from 160 to 215 ? (I tried some TPT Gen2 tutorials, but nothing).
Thanks!

ok first go to market and download tpt helper.
then choose make your own tpt fill chache as 20 mb system(dont make it less it is recommended to use 20 mb on ics) as 210 mb(or as per ur choice but not less) and rest will be system.then click ok.
it will download the tpt and edit it accordingly.then check it it should have from the app there should be 10/12 matches.
then reboot.
press menu+power+vol up then green text fill flash and tpt will start on its own.
if there is a error at 99% down worry wait and then it will be success.
u r done.
just remember to have a rom on your sd.
there will be other options like choosing splash screen, recovery etc choose accordingly in the app.
u can even use your nandroids.
remember to delete image folder from sd after flash to prevent flashes by mistakes.
u r done enjoy
thanks saaransh9 i also want this info, voted up
sorry, but my number of matches is 1/1 .It is all right?

When u set your partitions does it says finished if yes then it should be ok.
Or just TPT with the 220mb system partition version, reinstall your rom and you're done

1.Is there a way to change size of partitions without flashing new rom?
2.How big the partitions should be (System, Data, Cache) ?

Curent partitions are:
System 220MB
Data 160MB
Cache 37MB
It is running CM 7.1 stable mod and Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2.0

1. No,you cannot.
2.Your partition size is more than enough for any new ROM's. Minimum System partition size varies accordings to different ROM's. Minimum data is according to your needs for app storage. Minimum cache is 20mb,but keep in mind you can't download anything from market/play over 20mb. So cache decides your temporary market storage.

Would one of thos things help?

-partition SD card
-select size. recommended 1gb
-select swap size as 0. Select 32 if u use it for gaming
-reboot

If you changed your partition sizes, your rom and all your data would be wiped. If you made a backup before, you could restore it afterwards as long as it could fit in the new sizes (eg. if your rom took up 160MB in system just now, and you changed system to 170MB then it would fit so you could restore it, same for other partitions).
Size for the partitions depends on what rom you are wanting to install. Some like Swedish Snow can fit in 128MB system, others like the ICS ones need ~180MB or bigger.
As your current layout is big enough for any rom out now, you'd be better making an ext partition on your phone and using that. S2E from Google Play works well with CM7 and lets you move most, if not everything, on the data partition to the ext partition. Its usually best just to move apps, but it means you can have loads of space. You can choose the size of ext partition depending on how big your sdcard is and how much space you need.

2MB is the minimum for cache. You can redirect the market downloads to data/ext partition/somewhere else, so you can download any app you like. Most roms do this automatically if your cache partition is small. By making it bigger than 2MB, you are either wasting the extra space if its still small enough to be redirected, or you are restricting the size of apps you can download if its too big to be redirected.

I stated 20mb as minimum because Tilal recommended 20mb for ColdFusion and I would rather change partition sizes once than doing it repeatedly.

Well, I did few things.
I did what QuantumFoam suggested, partitioned my old 2GB card that was already in phone, created EXt partition of 512MB, to try if it work. I'we made backup on PC, but when I rebooted few of apps I had on sd desapeared, also all my music, pictures, wallpapers and other stuff.
Question I have now is should I copy all the things from PC back to SD and where.
Thanks all of you guys for helping me and having so much patience with me.

That's because ColdFusion didn't have the redirect script added yet. If you add that, then 2MB is fine for it as well.

I did what QuantumFoam suggested, partitioned my old 2GB card that was already in phone, created EXt partition of 512MB, to try if it work. I'we made backup on PC, but when I rebooted few of apps I had on sd desapeared, also all my music, pictures, wallpapers and other stuff.
Question I have now is should I copy all the things from PC back to SD and where.
Thanks all of you guys for helping me and having so much patience with me.

I think creating the ext partition formats the whole card. If you plug your phone into your pc and turn on usb storage, you should see it appear with ~1.5GB space. You can copy all the stuff back onto there and it should work again. You might have to reinstall the apps that were moved to the sdcard, don't know if just copying them back will work.

I did that, reinstalled few apps and it works, thx.
Have one more question, if you all don't mind
I know that these questions sound stupid, but as I said, I'm new to all of this and have a strong will to learn.
Is it possible to switch this card with bigger one I have, without flashing ROM again?
If it is, I would apritiate If someone could point me to some guide, because I presume it is not easy task and I think I bothered you enought already.
If it isn't possible, can I then format new card on my PC,copy ROM on it, partition it from CM recovery and then install ROM and all of the apps?
Thx again
