[Q] Nandroid not showing up in Clockworkmod Recovery

Hey all, hopefully a simple question...
I finally sacked up and used the test version of Unrevoked on my Stock 2.2 Incredible. Booted up with the "superuser" icon. Finally got it to go back to Clockworkmod recovery screen to do a nandroid backup. Only problem is...it never said "nandroid" specifically, as I read in all the tutorials. It did have "recovery" and all the stuff I thought I'd see in the backup process. I ran the backup, and looked on the SD card in the Clockworkmod folder and there are all the backup files.
So basically am I seeing and using Nandroid, but it's not calling it Nandroid for some reason? If not, what should I be doing.
Thanks for the support...

Clockwork changed the menu options in one of the latest updates so it no longer says nandroid. But if you go to the backup and restore menu and select backup (as it looks like you did) you have your backup or "nandroid."
PS. Post this in the general section next time.

Thanks for the quick reply...and sorry about leaving the question here...

[Q] Error: run ' nandroid-mobile.sh restore ' via adb!

I am getting this error when ever I try to do a nand restore : Error: run ' nandroid-mobile.sh restore ' via adb!
I am running amon ra 1.8, I have the latest sprint lovers installed running 3.70, new radios, pri 1.90. Hboot 79. I've succesfully backed up and restored nands in the past but now I get this error. I've tried to backup and then immediately try to restore the backup and I get the same error so its not a corrupt backup. I have more than 6gb available on my sd card and am fully charged. I've looked in other threads and haven't found an answer. Any help is appreciated since I'm flying without a net when I flash if I can't restore my nand.

Run the command from adb shell, and it'll tell you what's wrong. Duh.
In other words, do what it tells you to do. Is it really so hard to follow instructions?

Hey man had the same problem. I was on miui and I went back to sense to update profile and flashed the new radio combo so I made a nandroid of miui first and then when I tried to restore that same back up I got the same error that you got. I'm not positive but I think that it has something to do with flashing the new radio and then switching to aosp rom. I ended up having to reflash miui and then every thing went back to working normally.

nandroid won't work if battery is low, I think if it's less than 30% charged, might want to try charging it before restoring to see if it helps...

I've had this happen with a full battery. The couple of times I had it happen I just wiped cache and dalvik. Rebooted back up, then gone back into recovery and then was able to restore the nand backup. Might give that a shot.

I had the same problem and what nefariouss is saying might work. Also, once i wiped several times and then completely turned the phone off and booted back into recovery and then it would restore. Another time i reflashed the rom that i was trying to restore and once it booted i went back to recovery, wiped all and then it would restore. Hope that helps. Just keep messing with it. I know its a pain but eventually it will restore.

if your sd card didnt partion properly this will happen.
save everything on your sd.
reboot into recovery
repartition sd card.
read that a few people running clockwork recovery have this issue frequently.

Delete Spaces!
If you are trying to flash a file in recovery that has spaces in it, it will not flash and will give you that error. so 'Fresh Evo.zip' won't work, but FreshEvo.zip will work.

FML, ignore this post please. I was a bit stupid.

Sorry for bumping, I have the same problem on my Optimus One p500
Sorry for bumping but I'm really worried about my phone. I have the same problem on my Optimus One and I've tried stuff mentioned above with NO success. Is there maybe another way to restore stock Froyo or to get this working?? I'm a total noob by the way..

Download and flash this. It is a rooted stock rom (Froyo) that has NOT been deodexed. In other words, it is THE stock HTC sense rom (3.70) that will allow you to maintain root privileges. While in recovery, wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu EXCEPT the SD card BEFORE flashing.

This happened to me and I tried everything listed. Reformatted my SD card. Copied everything back and nand restore finished first time. Polly unrelated but the only thing different was I had upgraded my RA recovery after I had made the backup.

Same thing happened to me after I updated Amon Ra recovery after doing a nandroid backup. Desire wouldn't boot and got stuck on white screen. Tried to do the backup using ADB but each time I got to the last step it failed. So I tried clearing Dalvik cache etc and finally wiped my card using recovery. After a couple of attempts, I was able to restore the last nandroid backup. Big relief.

i need help!!! i have the same problem of the whole error run nandroid-mobile.sh.. via adb. ive scoured the internet and havent solved my problem. i tried doing the cmd prompt thing and i found the latest backup, put into the cmd prompt but this is what i got.

A Few Questions Regarding 3.70 Update

I have a rooted Evo running 3.29 and I do not want to lose any of my data. When I updated from 3.26 to 3.29 all I did was download the update in a .zip file and flashed it via recovery.
I want to know if this same method is available for the newest 3.70 update.
I'm a little confused because I have been reading not to flash the update because I will lose root. Now that Unrevoked 3.32 is available I'm not sure if that rule still applies. I've been reading around here for a few weeks and I still have not found a solid answer.

Make sure that all of your contacts are in gmail, make a nandroid(CM) and than reflash (Amo Ra) download this (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PXIYUNSY) (Put in sd card, boot in to boot loader, than say yes to update)This is the easy way to update with out any problems. once everything updates the 1st boot will take a while, after booting make sure to flash Cm with Rom Manager, than reboot in recovery, than select back up and go in to advance restore than select the nandroid that you did earlier, and than restore data only. this will give you all the apps that you had and everything else.

Question? What is CM?

Clockwork Mod(recovery Image) flash with Rom manager app.

Thanks so much!

Please report back.

I will in the morning.

I downloaded the 3.70 RUU & unrooted and updated in 1 step. Prior to doing that I backed up my data and apps using Titanium back up. Rerooted and restored all of my apps & data using Titanium back up. All of my screens, icon and docks were back where they belonged!

Issues restoring backup

So got my G2 today, rooted, installed Hboot, started up the phone, logged into all my accounts, got stuff how I wanted. Made a backup via Clockwork.
Then I tried out CM7 Nightlies, decided its pretty good but I wanted to go back to my backup. Loaded into Clockwork hit recover, picked my backup. The phone then just sits on the HTC screen. Never going to the G2 screen or getting back into the OS. I can't get a logcat from it either to see if it is crashing. I can get back into recovery, and flash another rom, but why isn't my backup of my original image working? There are no errors when restoring, I've tried a few times.

If you are using CM7, does this mean you upgraded to one of the CWM3 recoveries? Not sure if this has changed, but backups made with the older CWM2 recoveries are not compatible with CWM3. You will need to reflash back to the older recovery before restoring your backup (pretty sure there are lots of warnings about this in the CWM3/CM7 threads, so you should probably check those out to see if this is no longer the case).

I used CWM3 to make the backup, i assumed that would work to restore it.
EDIT: Okay. so CWM3 can't handle ANY Froyo, regardless of if the backup was made with it. Misunderstood that part. Flashed to CWM32 and it worked. Thanks.

[Q] Cannot Get Past ClockworkMod Recovery

I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having with my Epic 4G...
Problem:
I am in a bit of a pickle at the moment as everytime I reboot my phone it goes directly to ClockWorkMod (CWM). I was previously on Syndicate Frozen ROM (SFR) 1.0.2 with CWM 3.0.0.x (orange) and attempting to upgrade to SFR 1.2.
Background:
I booted into CWM and made a back up, then loaded SFR 1.2. I got a bunch of FCs, so I reverted back to my back up. I then upgraded to CWM 3.1 (purple) and tried to flash to SFR 1.2 again. This worked, but none of my data was saved.
I decided that I would restore my backup, save my data another way and then re-import it once I had reloaded SFR 1.2. Unfortunately, it looks like trying to load a CWM Orange backup in CWM Purple will result in a failed MD5 checksum.
I reloaded CWM Orange and tried to load my backup and I still get a checksum error. At this point I don't know what else to try.
Anyone have any ideas/sugestions?

Odin back to stock EC05 and try it again from the beginning; that's what I did when I had this issue.
You will loose any apps not on an SD card i believe.

Yep. I had a buddy who is familiar with flashing come by and that is exactly what he did. What a waste of an afternoon! :\
I kept getting the error message: "Error while flashing boot image" until I reinstalled CWM 3.0.0.5. Only then was I able to restore my backup.
Just out of curiosity: if I now upgrade to CWM Purple and then back up will I be able to backup and restore my current version?

I believe nandroid backups from 3.0.0.5/6 will not work with 3.0.2.5 but 3.0.2.5 nandroids will restore on purple 3.1.0.1. It is best to do a clean install. There are framework changes on 1.2 including the 6 lock mod baked in so restoring data will most likely corrupt your ROM. Best bet is to flash 1.2, then a kernel then install all apps fresh. I use Appbak app to store a list of all installed apps. Then I can fire down the list and install them fresh.
