restoring nand backup error??? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

While trying to restore the last several nandroid backups on my EVO I get the error
Error: run ' nandroid-mobile.sh restore ' via adb!
using RA recovery
I didnt get any errors doing the backup...and I never had this problem in the past...as far as I know I am not doing anything different making backups than I have in the past.
Edit:
Im able to restore without errors from clockwork mod...and its a backup I made right after I made the AR backup....
Found out the answer...my sd card is full! LOL! Its been one of those days!
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
WhiteEvo

i get this error most of the time with ra as well, but my memory card is nowhere near full (6gb or so left.) the other day i backed up my cm6.1, flashed warm rls3, forgot something so backed up rls3 and restored cm fine, but then i couldnt restore the rls3 backup i made. i wiped everything and still couldnt restore, and then couldnt restore the cm backup i had just restored 15 minutes earlier. ive been getting this error almost any time i try and restore a backup for a few months now, any ideas?

I've seen a low battery cause this error. If you run via adb, as suggested, you'll see the error displayed.

[Q] can't restore a nandroid backup...need help

hey guys.
i've gone through a lot of searching and still no solution. PLEASE READ THIS SO YOU DONT RECOMMEND SOMETHING I ALREADY TRIED!
i tried to restore a nand backup from yesterday and i'm getting "run nandroid-mobile.sh restore from adb!"
battery is fully charged. sd card is there and all the files are there. i already fixed the md5sum and still get the same issue.
it seems it's not a problem with the backup itself because i can't backup or restore, or even use the ms-usb toggle. for every command i get the error to do it in adb?
i only had that one backup and i really dont want to start from scratch! nothing has happened to have corrupted the backup, so i'm strongly holding to the view that its not corrupted, something else happened.
everything was working fine. i tried changing a file in framework-res.apk, that put me into a bootloop. so i wiped data/cache/dalvik like always and went to restore and bam...error...
any ideas guys? need to fix this ASAP.
EDIT: i just reflashed amonra recovery to make sure it wasnt messed. was able to make a backup (of what i dont know, phone is wiped) and restore it....ms-usb toggle worked now....but still get the .sh error when trying to restore my backup. damn!
EDIT 2: got it working. after reflashing amonra i was able to do a backup (of the empty phone)...i had changed the name of the folder for my backup (no spaces though) and it looks like this was throwing amonra off. i renamed the folder to match the structure of the backup i had just made and was able to restore!
thanks me!

Oops... something went wrong!
Please check the recovery log!
Just don't switch the important nandroid backups from different EVOs, ie replacement EVO
I'm guessing you took a big chunk of nandroid backup and removed it from your old phone to your new replacement phone, Am I right?
If your rooted with S-OFF, try to go into USB-MS toggle that, put up Myn's new rom RLS5 or something, and it should work nicely if you have the right time to do it.
i found out how to get it to work....i did another nandroid backup...nd wen i mounted my sdcard and went to the nandroid folder ...i seen 2 folders ...one with the new back up...and another with the old....i put the old one in the new folder and restored it without a problem

help restoring nandroid backup..phone out of order(resolved)

hello. so i did a nandroid backup of my rooted el29 gingerbread + cwm epic 4g phone a week ago. it created a folder on my external sd card (sdcard/external sd/sdc2012-06-2012 folder) ive also continously made titanium backups of the apps + sys data. so i let a friend uninstall a system app(id bloatware) just to prove it could be uninstalled but dont like that i get error messages now sometimes when accessing email, etc. i tried a titanium backup but it hangs for 5min. now im trying a nandroid restore in cwm v5.0.2.7. where is a good guide for this? i went to restore but it keeps saying "error opening directory. No files found." i dunno what directory its searching but clearly not the correct one as i verified almost 700MB of data on external sd card. ive wiped data, cache so it only boots to "samsung logo screen." i also have a backup nandroid on my server so how to i get it to actually restore?
06-12-2012 update: crisis averted. i remember doing advanced backup w/ cwm recovery originally so i just did regular backup. it created a directory cwm/backup/new folder. i put the files from original advanced backup over to correct location and restore did it!! this is just like the acronis images i do for my pc's. what a wonderful thing!!

Creating a Nandroid backup with NRT v1.5.3

The other day, I used NRT v1.5.3 to successfully make a Nandroid backup. Today I tried multiple times without success. In each case the phone would hang at the TWRP screen. NRT itself said the process completed. NRT did create a folder on the PC, but it was empty. Any ideas on what the problem might be? BTW, I did run the full driver test multiple times and it always passed.

Update: I seem to have solved the problem. I wracked my brain to think of what had changed between the successful Nandroid backup and the unsuccessful one. I finally recalled that I had uploaded about 8 GB of pics, videos, and music to the phone. I deleted all of those and was then able to do the Nandroid backup successfully. I conclude that NRT and/or Nandroid has a maximum size restriction. Can anyone comment?

[Q] [CM10] Bootloop just after startup

I hope this is the right subforum, there are _so_ many q-q
Hello,
Yesterday I was up to surfing on my GNex running CM10 nightly 2012-08-2?, but it just hung, vibrated, showed me the Google logo and booted up again. This is not unusual since it is a very early build, but when it was up again and demanded my PIN, I could hardly enter 3 digits when it hung and rebooted again. After 6 times it really annoyed me and I pulled out the battery.
I tried booting in Safe Mode, but that didn't work either. So I wiped system and both caches, flashed the same build again, same problem
I can imagine that wiping data would help, but my last backup is quite a few weeks old and I don't want to lose my data so this would be the very last solution.
I hope someone will be able to help me

Oh, maybe this could be important: I use ClockworkMod Touch 6.0.1.0
You could try to flash the newest nightly and see if that works, but in the end I think you are going to have wipe your data. You could make a backup from cwm and try wiping than restoring the backup. I don't know if that would help any but it could be worth a shot.
And dont restore app/system data.

If you can still get into the recovery, you can run a backup and then restore apps/data from a nandroid via titanium backup once you get it up and running.
Nandroid does not really work.
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.0
SD Card space free: 7426MB
Backing up boot image...
Backing up recovery image...
Backing up system...
Freeing space...
Done freeing space.
Backing up data...
Error while making a backup image of /data!
Does anyone know why it doesn't, or maybe another backup solution?
Could I do a backup with another recovery? Or could flashing anotherr recovery even cause data loss?
Triple post hope you can forgive me
So I flashed TWRP. Nandroid didn't work there, too, but I think I know the reason: /data needs to be mountet read-only for the backup, but this is impossible when it is written to the internal storage (/data/media). And since neither TWRP nor ClockworkMod have a TCP stack, I'll need an USB-OTG-adaptor and an USB flash drive. Luckily, I know someone who has one, gonna ask him tomorrow...
