[Q] Nandroid backup problem

Hi all,
I finally decided to root my HTC Desire. It's running 2.10.405.2, with a 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 Radio and HBOOT 0.93.0001. The recovery is Clockwork 2.5.0.7
I went thru the latest Unrevoked, and I got it rooted the first time.
Yet, I can't perform a nandroid backup in order to flash a MIUI rom. This is the displayed error message i got :
Backing up boot
Error while dumping boot image
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC :
I'm lost !

I had exactly the same problem and had to install clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 in order to be able to create a nandroid backup.
Search the desire development thread for the latest clockworkmod, download the .img version and reflash the phone using unrevoked but before you start, go into unrevoked settings and tell it to use the .img you downloaded instead of the standard one. 3.0.0.5 will then be your standard recovery and will let you backup/flash etc.
Hope this helps

Also,
Keep ROM Manager installed, because although It's generally **** and I'd never use it if I didn't have to, it has one use . .
Sometimes, you may try to flash a zip in Clockworkmod (CWM) 3.0.0.5 and it will tell you it can't flash it due to some edify scripting issue (or something like that!!)
As rare as it is, if this happens, reboot to android, run ROM Manager and ask it to install recovery. When it's done, ask it to reboot to recovery and it will install CWM 2.5.0.7 then boot into it, which will let you flash the zip which you couldn't flash before. Awesome!
The good thing is, once you leave recovery, 2.5.0.7 is gone and next time to reboot to recovery (not using ROM Manager) you will be back to 3.0.0.5.
Double awesome!!
What I've advised in the last 2 posts works well for me and has done for months, so hopefully it will work for you too.
Don't use ROM Manager for anything other than this though, cos apart from this it is rubbish!!
EDIT: CWM is here by the way

Hi,
I used Unrevoked with the latest Clockwork recovery. Unfortunately, I got this error message : "Error, failed to get root. Is your firmware too new ?"
I think I must reset the phone though I don't want to... That'll do like I did the 1st time.
That sucks !

Sorry to hear that Kev94,
Here's a few suggestions that have worked for others who got your error message:

I have another problem : I just reset the phone via the phone option. Everything went fine, except it rebooted into recovery, then I rebooted it normally, and eventually nothing was reset or changed ! It was like nothing happened... WEIRD !
I'd like to wipe the phone via the recovery option, yet I can't mount /data.
Is there gonna be a problem if I choose to wipe, given it says it can't mount /data ? ->I don't want to brick or corrupt my phone, get boot loop or anything else.

Have similar problem

Again, i just performed a wipe data/factory reset via the recovery, and nothing changed ! Should I try a HBOOT "clear storage" ?

Phone is dead?

Hi
I was about to give my phone to my father, as i just got a new one. I was trying to clean up the system, so i did a partision on my sd card, and when i then tryed to reflash the phone using rom manager, i would get a error that /cache/update.zip was missing, even thought i tryed to reinstall rom manager. So i thought i could just boot to my clockwork, and do a factory reset there, so i did that. Now the phone wont boot, it just cycles throught the cyanogen boot animation. and if i go into clockwork everytime i try to select something, it just gives me a black screen, so i seems i cant reflash the device?
does any one got any ideas on how to get this phone alive again?

Did you successfully apply /sdcard/update.zip through ClockworkMod? Were there any errors? Which ClockworkMod version are you using?
You could try reflashing the Recovery partition through fastboot, although I believe you need a S-OFFed device to do that. If your device is S-ON you can use a RUU to unroot your device and then use Unrevoked to root it again. There should be a thread about that in the Desire Dev forum.

[Q] S-off but cant flash rom

I received a replacement Inc2. It came with 2.3.4 so i downgraded it and used Revolutionary to obtain s-off and install clockwork. Now when i reboot using power button and volume down, i get the white screen showing Fastboot, recovery, factory reset screen,etc. When i select recovery, i get the revolutionary CWM 4.0.1.4 screen. When I select install zip and select MIUI, this is what it says.
installing:
findings update package....
opening update package...
e: cant open /sdcard/miui.us.vivow...............(this rest of the filename)...(bad)
installation aborted
I have tried several ROMs and also tried to install a backup from my prior INC2 but none of it works
any help is appreciated

That usually means that the file is corrupt, but since you tried it on multiple ROMs, I think you need to update your recovery. Download ROM Manager from the Market, and Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery. Or, you can download the 4EXT Recovery Control app, and get an even better recovery.

Ok downloaded ROM manager and when I start it is gives me the message "you must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found as "/system/bin/su/system/xbin/su"
I ok thru that but when i attempt to update to 5.0.2.0 is gives me the message " an error has occurred while attempting to run privilege commands"
I had my old Incredible 2 rooted without any issues.
Thanks for your help.

Update. Got it figured out. For some reason the superuser zip did not install. After I did that again, it works. Able to flash my setup from my previous INC 2. Thats for you help.

[Q] Stuck in Cyanogen Recovery after flashing Paranoid Android

I just flashed paranoid android 5.0+ unofficial for the galaxy S2 T989,
and for some reason it flashed cyanogen recovery over my previous one which was clockworkmod.
I can't for some reason get out of recovery (ie. boot into system or boot into bootloader).
I already wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache (in cyanogen recovery) and I also tried flashing different roms and tried flashing clockworkmod again but I keep getting an error of:
Installed Failed
E: Cannot load volume/misc!
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: Signature verification failed
Installation aborted
E: Cannot load volume/misc!
Cannot load volume/misc! - seems to be the first error message anytime I try to apply update from sdcard (ie. flash anything).
Anyone know what's wrong? Thanks in advance.

i have the same problem with you , can you get your phone into ODIN mode?

i have the same problem , and odin doesn't recognize my phone , I couldn't find any solution ..

Actually I ended up solving my problem, I just flashed the stock unrooted img in odin and now its back to normal. Just make sure you check re-partition in Odin cause my cache is messed up
