Make sure you wipe data and cache before flashing a Rom.

If you did a nandroid backup before installing the cm rom, then just boot into recovery and restore the backup. If you did a nandroid after installing the CM rom then try to reflash the CM rom.
Got it.. thanks.
Had to track button + Power after battery pull, then used Unrevoked Painless Reflash to get back and tried an earlier save from Nandroid.
was scared from a bit there.

updated to 2.2 rooted and s-off. when restoring my titanium backups i reinstalled some system app data. didn't really cause any problems, but wouldn't let me set up my mail accounts. made a nandroid backup right after upgrade to 2.2 and tried to restore with clockworkmod (no rom manager??). still new to some of this think i f'd up!!! after tring to do a restore phone doesn't boot and freezes on htc incredible screen. please help!!! leaving for vacation and need my phone!!
ok, let me be more specific. can i reapply the downgrade image and start from scratch? install a good rom image? i'm assuming it didn't work because i didn't use rom manager and the backup wasn't actually an image. please give assistance!! thanks

I did a nandroid backup of my phone before going to CM7, after that I decided I want to go back, but it won't let me restore. It does the whole restore process but restarts CWM in the middle of restoring data.
I tried to narrow it down and it seems it crashed when restoring "com.htc.messages".
Can anyone help me? I was on Android Revolution 2.0.1.1 going to PNK Crispy Duck.
EDIT #1: I tried restoring again and it seemed to frezze when restoring something like "pdu"? Which is also in the data catergory, but the size of the backup - 1.14GB - seems to be right size, considering its bigger than my last back up - ~1.09G - so I don't know what the problem is :S

Which version of CWM are you using? It is known that backup and restores are f**ked up the newest version of CWM
Anyways, what you can try is to flash Android Revolution HD and then try to check if restore works then. It requires a bit of your time but it maybe worth trying.

Have you tried wiping everything before restoring??
hey guys
need help..i rooted my desire using unrevoked3
and then did ndroid backup( dont know wat to do now) screen is not responding and phone is not even rebooting!!!
right now stuck..
help me guys...
...
hi,
sorry for your problem with that.
i flashed my handy ´bout 40 times and never had issues with nandroid not responding.
how ever, ... i fi understand right, the nandroid backup is a "backup" which means it reads the data out of the phones nand and stores it on the micro Sdhc card.
i think that it should be no problem to remove the battery and put it right back in the phone. but i am not 100% sure if any damage on the phone could happen if you interrupt the nandroid backup. maybe lost of data of the sd card could occur.
Hope that you ll get a better answer soon from another member
Good Luck
Boot into recovery and restore the backup. It happens quite often after your first backup.

hey mike..
i have got clockwork mod recovery 2.5.7 (unrevoked3) and whenever i try to do ndroid backup the screen goes blank ( or something like that)
how do we know the backup has been finished ;?
The screen shouldn't go blank.
What happens when you choose restore in clockworkmod? Does it give you any backups to choose from?

Jus restored the original backup made got it workin again!!
thnx to "rastaman-fb" from android-forums
1st of all doing a backup using rom manager or clockwork after rooting causes a boot loop. its easy to fix. just restore your nandroid backup you made that caused the boot loop in the first place
go to recovery (voldown + power) use volume rocker to select recovery and press power to boot to recovery
go into backup and restore and restore the backup

I had the same problem with my HTC EVO 4G using clockwork recovery 5.0.2.2. Phone is rooted, but still has the default ROM.
I ran a backup and my screen went black. I waited for a while, but then I forced my phone to reboot by yanking the battery and my phone DID actually recover on its own.
I tried running the backup one more time and found that the backup was actually taking place. I could see the progress text if I held the phone in just the right lighting. I waited for about 5 more minutes and my phone rebooted, completing the backup successfully.
So long story short, if your screen goes black, just be patient and wait...it may just be running silent.
Ok I tried installing the new frozen rom and it wasnt booting after like 15 minutes. So I just pulled the battery and did a nandroid backup from my stock rom because I just rooted yesterday. But after the nandroid the rom just goes back into recovery every time i restart it. Even after a battery pull it does the same thing.
Please help!
when all else fails, odin back to stock.

Did you have an EXT4 nandroid backup as well?
Sponged...not bricked. You cannot restore a full RFS nandroid on an EXT4 file system. You should use Titanium to back up apps and data. You can use the nandroid to restore data only in the advanced section. You can also try restoring the nand of beforeExt4 or whatever it is called.
Maybe this could help you restore your phone back to its old glory.

Read my post my phone was truly bricked maybe you could get some insight to fix your phone from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090751
I am starting to believe that the Samsung Epic truly is unbrickable. Good luck with getting your phone to work again and if your have any question just PM me.

What version of Clockwork is it from? Before 3.0.2.5 the kernel was not backed up so you have the corrupt kernel still after the restore. Restore your nandroid and flash another kernel before booting like Genocide and see if that helps.
What is with everyone saying there phone is bricked? A brick means no recovery and no download mode. Use odin or heimdall to flash a tar. Or try to flash something else from recovery

I know it is like every third post now! They should know by now if you can get into download mode it is Sponged not bricked. Just waiting to soak up a fresh system.
I'm on the Mikg 2.1 + 3.0 rom, and ran into a problem trying to restore my backup after briefly trying out another rom. Using AmonRA, after restoring my backup it loads like normal but when the lockscreen comes up there is no ring or way to unlock the phone. Does anybody know what happened? Is my backup no good? Going to have to reload the stock rom to get back into my phone.
Thanks

Just flash the rom over your setup now, fastest way to fix it for right now. Or boot back into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik
I guess I will switch back to clockwork recovery since I have used it to restore my stock backup before. Don't know what happened to this backup that I made on AmonRA, but if it doesn't work I won't be using it anymore.
I'm having the same problem. I have done multiple nandroid backups with Amon_Ra that are not restoring properly...
I don't flash over anything critical, but it's becoming an inconvienience.
Are you saying that CWM is not doing this?
I hae only used amon ra after rooting with no problems. Might be a bad recovery. Just my 2cents.

Same problem here. I did a full wipe before restoring and wonder if that was the problem. Did you do a full wipe before restoring?

All of you guys are using Amon and having restore issues.. Not something I have really ever heard of. Is it a 32gb card
After I restored I was missing market. Running deck 1.3
Sent From My Pocket
Mine is a 16gb card. I couldn't unlock the phone after restore. There was no unlock ring. Running mik 2.5
I have the same issue. 32gb card. Amon-ra. fortunately clockwork works. Unfortunately I have to use clockwork. I even reformatted and repartitioned. Still no luck
We're comin from a pure power source.
I've also restored from Amon Ra and had weird things missing.
Mistress of Mischief
holy crap im having the same issues. I did a nandroid restore with amon ra 2.3 and now even after a full WIPE I cannot get the same rom that I had restored at one point working again. Market app is missing. WTF?
Not sure what's going on exactly. However, I have noticed that's get weird restores when I wipe the .Android directory and don't back it up. That has all my sdcard programs. That winner explain the missing ring, but maybe the market.
how do I switch from amon ra to clockworkmod? and which is the latest & greatest version?
I wanna give it a try just for the heck

Go to the dev section, search clockworkmod and it'll come out; the latest version is 5.0.2 I believe. You can also download rom manager from the market.
should i be able to just flash it using rom manager? I just wanna give it a try to see if I can sort this issue im having. thx everyone!
