whenever i try to run a nandroid backup, it gives me an error saying that i need to run nandroid.sh via adb..
can anyone help?
thank you
I've found that if I plug it into my charger, then run it again....the message does not show up again. Atleast that works for me.

Hmmm, funny. Similar thing happened to me 30 min ago. Was backing up flipz 2.1 and restoring my daily (Fresh 1.1). It told me I had to run "nandroid-mobile.sh restore via adb", or something like that. Anyway, I did it and everything is fine. Just found it strange. Oh well, no harm done

Nah, that's not it. 2.5GB free space on SD card. If You have no space on the SD card it won't even allow the backup, it will let you know. INMShake may be right; battery. That screen stays bright quite a long time during backup and restore.

One other possibility, if you have renamed the backup you need to make sure there are no spaces in the name. Don't ask me how I know!
I've had the same error with a file I renamed. When I changed it back to nandroid all was good. Renaming It if it was changed.
Plug in your charger and reboot back into recovery
so weird this happened to me as well restoring between all the new 2.1's aye david question is are you gettin down on 360 or ps3
You can always root again using fresh's kitchen, that should solve your problem.
Im on the 360.....

I have found that if your battery is at 30% or lower it will give you this error. Plug it in and let it charge to at least 40% and it shouldn't be a issue.
Hope that this information helps.

Cool. Always looking for teammates.
I tend to get the same issue, no matter how full my battery is (it's RARELY below 50%).
What I ended up doing the other day to go from a 2.1 ROM back to Fresh 1.1 was to boot into recovery, wipe, flash the original Fresh 1.1 (not the backup), let it load, reboot back into recovery, wipe, and load the backup I wanted to use. For whatever reason, that worked.
Also, no spaces in your backup names, they cause problems (found that out the hard way). I'm not sure renaming your backups at all is a great idea anymore, as I'm wondering if it uses the date code in part of the process or something.
nandroid total failure
nandroid wont work for me, i tried restoring, flashing basically every option and keep getting "aborted" can someone please help!

yes same exact thing happened to me! and also, there are some files i cant put onto my SD card from my comp. some files will work when i copy them to my sd card and some wont..
happened to me as well trying to go from flipz 2.1 to fresh 1.1. i had tried a few different times to restore and got the error but never paid attention to the battery life, but since its pretty bad on 2.1 now im sure i was low. just tried it after a fresh charge and everything restored perfectly!
well i found out that it was my sd card. i couldnt believe that i didnt have enough space on my sd card because i have an 8 gig haha
so i checked it out and i only had 1 mb left of available space
so i just backed up my data and reformated my sd card.
worked like a charm
Simple guide on how to reroot without the kitchen. Put the recovery img on the sd card and run this.
Code:
adb shell
cd /sdcard
flash_image recovery [Recovery Name Here].img
reboot recovery
So I installed the Cyanogen mod from RomManager to try it out. The thing is, now my phone is telling me my SD card is damaged and I can't read from it. My backups were on there and I foolishly did not save copies onto my computer.
So, is there anyway to get a stock ROM for the incredible so I can flash that back onto there?

Have you tried booting your phone into recovery.
Then going to nandroid in recovery and choosing your backup to restore?
That damaged message sounds like something you see in rom manager, but you can probably still see your SD card fine in recovery if you haven't tried that yet.
Ditto, except have you tried checking your SD card with a reader straight into the PC? If you can't read it with a reader it may very well be damaged.
If it is actually broken IncredibleRoms (dot) com is usually a good place to look for ROM's.
Looked around and found a stock nandroid backup
incredibleroms.com/roms/stock/
Only other option might be trying to go the RUU route.
This is a rooted stock rom binny made that you can use. Its from a previous thread a few weeks ago
binny1007 said:
This is just a stock rom with a few tweeks.
It includes SuperUser, busybox, Wireless -N, Facebook has been moved to /data/local so it can be uninstalled, Zipaling and ROM Manager. CityID has been removed, also the internal task killer has been tweeked so no need to have third party task killers.
I dont plan on working too much on this one, but may update in the future.

I would recomend wipeing before installing.

Can't access the card in recovery either. I even took the card out and put it in my computer and can't read it there either.
I found the droid incredible downgrade file for returning to stock without root, I guess I'll have to go this route. I know I can re-root the phone, its just loosing all my apps and data that's painful.
EDIT: or use the rooted rom, thanks kentoe, that definitely saves me some time.
Titanium Backup can take care of the apps and you could pull data to your pc.
Unless the apps and data were on your SD card in which case you'll need some CSI/NCIS tricks to reconstruct your messed up SD.

Yes, I used Titanium Backup for my apps, but unfortunately they were on the card. I'll just have to call it a loss and reinstall my apps one at a time.
Utils for SD recovery
I have a few utils that have been able to recover data from SD cards, flash sticks, CF stuff like that. Look on the net.
Yeah, I somehow actually damaged my friends SD card from his Moto Droid while attempting to root my Incredible. Needless to say he wasn't very happy. So off to google I went and in the morning he had all his files back like it never happened.

its general info, since it isnt the actual guide to rooting.
Good find OP. Seems really straight forward. This will be my day 1 project.
Why was this moved to the dev section? Mods, there is already the ROOT thread, there was no need to move this. =\
I appreciate there are some differences, but why is the process more complex than the Acer A500. Al you do with there is:
1. Set as debug
2. Make sure an microsd is installed
3. Install the root apk
4. Run the apk
5. Reboots in five minutes and rooted
I'm assuming its the differences in the kernals, before the OTA updates, the transformer sounded pretty easy, but now they've locked things down since then
The new root allows boot custom boot and recovery partitions to be flashed to the device. Aloowing for nandroid backups and restores

Only get root with certain apps. Titanium doesn't work, nor does setcpu. Root explorer seems to.

Can we flash ROMs from internal memory as well?
I don't think so, as part of installing CWM you have to have an microsd card inserted. So I'm pretty sure at this point they don't have a version to use just the internal memory.
Also I did a nandroid and it looks like CWM currently backs up EVERYTHING on the internal SD card. Looking in storage i have about 380 Mb of system, 1.7 for media but my nandroid was ~2 GB.
If this is true, may be a problem down the road, where your nandroid may take almost your whole microsd just to store.

Just transfer off old nandroids and put back on as needed. Just means you have to make sure you have at least enough space to hold the nandroid you want to put on/restore to though.

Yeah... I only have an 8GB with 12 GB of stuff on the E3T so nandroid is a no-go for me at the moment ):
Tell me about it, I've got a 16GB in the desire that's never more than half full but I only had a 4GB lying around when I got the transformer so I'm tight on space till I get something bigger.
I am going to get a 32GB card for this and keep my media on it rather than the transformer. That way the transformer shouldn't get too big for nandroids.
I'm sure it's only a matter of time before honeycomb is ripped apart and we will be able to mount the /sdcard partition to a part of the nand that isn't backup up by nandroid. It lives in /data/media at the moment but a custom MTD could take care of that if such a thing existed yet...
Wouldn't this prevent me from being able to receive future OTA's though? Or do we have a way to flash an SBF of some sort (I'm pretty sure we don't).
Of course no updates from Asus but devs will give us the updates instead after taking the bad crap out.
i did every steps< 5. Wait up to 10 minutes for gingerbreak to do its stuff, once its done you will have SU (#) symbol< got the symbol try the other steps didnt work reboot ...now im trying to do it again and i get permission denied????
re run the chmod 777 xxx/xxx/xxx command and then try gingerbreak again
Is it possible to swap a nandroid from one Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to another Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (exactly the same tab) like swapping the nandroid from each tablet? In other words clone it...(do a Nandroid in one and restoring in the other) Thanks in advance.

yes, it possible
If I'm understanding your question correctly, it can be done and is very simple (to the poster above me: is it so hard to explain how to do something when someone is asking if it can be done instead of just saying yes? I see that on this site too often and I see it when I'm searching for the solution to a problem and come across threads discussing the problem that say SOLVED but the person doesn't explain how they solved it. Its ridiculous)
Anyway... Clockworkmod backups can be accessed with any file manager like ES File Explorer. On the SD card. The backups are saves in clockworkmod/backups/ and all you'd have to do is copy the folder that contains the backup you want to share to the tab you want to restore it in. Place the copied folder in the clockworkmod/backups/ then boot into recovery and restore it.

I don't see a "How" in the question. Then why should someone explain the entire procedure just for a confirmation question.
Also if he wants the procedure too, he can ask here again. Its no big deal
Thanks to both of you... I do know the process, done it many times, is just that I haven't tried it by restoring it on another phone or tablet in this case... Just wanted to be a 100% sure, lol that's all. So shake hands you both, and thank you both too! Take care guys...

Save them to your pc too. Ultimate safety measure. Saved me a few times.
On a related subject, would it be wise to copy or move Nandroid backups, (or Titanium backups), to a storage disk on a computer or USB drive? At nearly 1GB each, backups take up a lot of space on the SD card. If they can be safely stored somewhere else and copied back to the Tab's SD card, this would free up some prescious space on the SD card.
Is this a good plan or am I missing something?
Bob
I always keep at least the latest backup in the device, just in case I dont have my laptop close when I need it...

Yes, it is always best to keep the cwm and titanium backups in your system. But I always keep only the latest copy of both the backups in tab as a security measure as mentioned above.
So im new to android and ofcourse, came from iphone, and was able to just "backup" to icloud...
my contacts are already synced via google... i assume (dont have the phone yet) that photos and music, videos etc can all go on the mirco sd, then the phone is just for apps... so is something like titanium backup all i need? and does it save the backup to my micro sd incase something happens and i need to reset the phone with that backup?
is that the basics of it?
thanks!

Contacts and wifi access points and passwords are backed up to Google. TiBu will back up as much as much or as little as you want. And you can choose the location like Google drive or your sd card. Carbon Is good backup option too. and there is no need to be rooted

For Titanium Backup you need to have ROOT ACCESS
Like itunes and the iPhone, that's how the Galaxy and Samsung Kies is. You can completely backup your phone through Kies as well. If you care about warranty, you should root right now until they figure out how t unlock the bootloader and triangle away any history of you modding your phone just to be safe.
