That doesn't mean your SD card's been wiped. Flash the recovery image again and try again.
Just in case your card really is wiped, there are plenty of tools to restore date that was wiped. I remember searching google for a digi cam data restore after a gf accidentally wiped her pictures & was able to restore them all after running it.

So you're trying to restore a clockword nand backup in RA?
Whichever recovery you did your nandroid in you have to use to restore. Ra won't see what you backed up in clockwork and vice versa.

This may come off as mean, but do people read anymore? I can't count how many phones, computers, guitars & video game consoles I've modded & had maybe 1 break. And it wasn't even my first one. I just got lazy.
Also, make backups of your backups. All my nandroid backups take up about 400 megs of space. So if you get a 4 gig sd card at Best Buy (12 bucks), you can have 13 backups on that card. Worth it.

Good point. If you backup your nands from sd to computer, you can restore the nand using adb.

How hard is it to just answer his question instead of flaming him?
Anyway in my experience if you rename the nandroid backup when using Amon Ra recovery it will get that error. Also if your battery isn't charged up enough it will get the same error. Just remember that the files are in numerical order, the higher the number the more recent the nandroid backup.
guys sure this is the wrong section for this sort of question but all he has to do is charge his battery and then do the nandroid restore.
I had the same issue the other day and had never run into this error. Granted I did a search and found the answer. If your battery is too low you will get this error.
charge it up and then try the nandroid restore again.

I just tried flashing the new wimax update and it went through and succeeded, but now my phone reboots after a minute or 2 once it's fully booted. If I'm in recovery mode it doesn't have that problem at all. I'm using baked 1.5.

Did you try flashing an older version or a nandroid? If you are using clockwork make sure signature checking is turned on too, you could have a corrupted file.

I tried flashing an older version and that didn't work either. What is this thing about nandroid? How do I go about that?
Edit: I fixed it by restoring google proprietary stuff(forgot the name) and restored nand. Which one fixed it? I have no idea, but it basically restored me to factory 2.1, but with root access. Mods please lock/ delete this. It's in the wrong forum and I apologize. Thank you

A nandroid is a backup of your system you can make from the recovery, it's always a good idea to make one before you flash anything. I'm not sure if that covers your radios though.
Do you use titanium backup or anything? Without knowing how your phone is set up (what recovery you are using, etc) the only thing I can think of would be to flash the engineering bootloader. That should fix it but you would have to reinstall your ROM afterwards.

The nandroid restore worked because I had a backup I made while following the guide. I fixed it doing that, but while trying to update the radio to the current one again figuring if it messed up I can restore it and again the same problem came up, but this time nandroid restore wont work and it's telling me to use adb restore, but adb says your device is not found.
BTW all of my phones stuff come directly from the idiot proof guide(recovery etc)
bump... I'm sorry I'm sitting here with a semi broken phone. Is it possible to download someone else's nandroid back up and install it on mine? I know it will fix my problem as it already did, but for some reason now it's telling me to do it with adb, but my usb seems to not be working either.
Hey everyone... I was wondering -
If I make a NANDroid back up of my stock froyo rooted ROM (ROM #1),
Do a full wipe and then flash another ROM (ROM #2) and make a NANDroid BU of ROM #2,
Then do another full wipe and flash another ROM (ROM #3) and make a NANDroid BU of ROM #3...etc etc...
My question is - Can I restore any given NAND BU to any given ROM, or Do i actually have to reflash that ROM to get it back on the phone?
I tried doing this with a NAND BU that I made with a ROM I had flashed... it got buggy and I ended up restoring my NAND BU from the stock ROM. Then I wanted to show some one the ROM I had flashed before and tried to restore the NAND BU I made of that particular ROM and it got 3 dots into the restore then said it couldnt be completed.
I am wondering if it couldnt be completed b/c the NAND BU was corrupted some how - or if this is actually not some thing you can do...
any info on this would be helpful...

yes you can do that. before you restore you may want to wipe the cache and dalvik just to make sure that is all cleared out (unless you also do backups of the cache)
What recovery are you running when the restore failed? i am guessing amon, so when you get an error you should move the log to sd so you can check out what exactly the error was

Ok, I thought I could but I was thrown off by the failed attempt. I always do a FULL wipe when flashing from one ROM to another... and I'm not sure how to back up the cache...
The main back ups I preform are the NAND, Titanium and occasionally I use MyBackUpPro...but I only use the last one for contacts and texts...
I always use Amon_Ra... I am currently using 2.2.1... I am assuming that the NAND BU was corrupt some how.
I am trying to think if I made the back up with the same version of Ra or not and I assume that shouldnt make any differance. Now the only other variable would be that I changed the name of the main file - but I always do that with all my NAND BUs and I didnt have any problem restoring my stock froyo that was named in the same format...(ex: StockFroyo-011911 <~~ which worked Vs. WarmTwoPointTwo-012911 <~~ which did not work)...
You can make backups of multiple and re-flash them at your will [just know which is which, by naming them.] Also, do a cache and dalvik wipe before hand, and you're good to go.

If your battery is less than 30%-40% or something, Amon-Ra won't restore or backup. If it's not working, plug in your phone and try again. Also, I would upgrade to RA-2.3. Much better IMO, only version since 1.8 that I haven't had any trouble with. I had also sorts of issues with backups and restores either taking FOREVER or just plain not completing. For the first time, I'm at a point where i have like 5 ROMs on my phone and switch whenever I feel like.

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,
I have kind of a serious issue right now. I used Touch Recovery 5.8.0.2 and made a full backup today of my whole ROM (2.5GB) before trying out some mods which eventually didn't work. So I decided to wipe and restore the backup I made. No matter what I do I cannot get it to restore my data partition properly. I keep getting "Error while restoring /data!" message, however it does the boot image and system fine but doesn't continue to cache and sd-ext because of the failed data. Whenever I boot it up, some of my apps are missing from the home screen and practically all of them are not working when I launch them (force close). I also get boot up error of Google+ force close, among a bunch of other issues. This is happening even when I try to restore an older backup as well. My device is not working state right now and although I can just restore the stock images to get it working again, it is urgent that I restore my data ASAP! I tried wiping several times and even using the non-touch 5.5.0.4 recovery to restore and same thing keeps happening.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Please don't tell me my backup is corrupt
Update 1: Eventually I gave up and started from scratch but I have confirmed already this happened on a fresh backup as well, at this time we are trying to figure out what is causing this so I can go back to safely backing up and restoring backups.
Update 2: We have test builds of TWRP Recovery that may have resolved this issue! We need testers!
Please see this post: Link Here
Update 3: We have test builds of ClockworkMod Recovery 6 that may have resolved this issue as well! We need testers!

is your phone encrypted?
are you running stock recovery?
are you running a stock Rom?

Hi Spectre85,
My phone did fine yesterday, I was running AOPK Milestone 3 with FAUX123 kernel.
But when I woke up, my phone looked like it's battery was emtpy.
- When I plugged the phone with the charger, I started the phone again.
- Unfortunately my phone keep looping at the Google screen over and over.
So I pulled the battery and put the battery back again in the phone.
- I went to the bootloader and went to CWM recovery.
Deleted Data, Cache and Dalvike cache.
- Tried to retrieve my backup rom, but keep getting this "Error while restoring /data!" message.
I've tried to install other roms as well, but I still keep getting the bootloop at the Google screen.
Have you guys have any advice for me?

For me, no, no (CWM Touch 5.8.0.2), yes (stock rooted 4.0.4), no but my goal is to restore my data not erase it.
I had this happen to me before, what I did was flash a factory image through fast boot and it was fine after.

Thanks guys..I flashed the factory image through Fastboot mode and the phone works perfectly again! Too bad I lost all my data, but I'm happier that I have my phone fully functional again

I did copy it. I have full access to the file. Also, just fyi my goal here is not just to get to working state (I'm aware of the stock images) but to actually recover my data. My phone is currently on stock images completely blank and working now.

Nanadroid files can be flashed in fastboot? Are you sure? First time I'm hearing this. Doesn't fastboot need .img files? These are .tar files.

I guess it depends on the recovery version you use. I remember older versions actually had .img files. However 5.5.0.4 and Touch 5.8.0.2 both have ext4.tar files.
Which version of recovery do you use?
If you have root, you can restore your data partition using Titanium Backup. Use "Export from Nandroid Backup" within TB, select the nandroid backup and then select all apps that you want to restore

Yes. Titanium Backup can restore all your system apps as well as downloaded apps from a nandroid backup. Not as clean as a nandroid restore from CWM but essentially the same thing. But try to see if Titanium Backup can extract your nandroid backup. It all depends on what exactly went wrong with your nandroid backup to begin with. I don't think it restores cache. So not sure about wallpaper.

You're right. This works great for restore data to select apps (got my notes and game saves back). I think the icon layout is held in the launcher settings, I'm about to try and restore the data to the launcher app and see what happens. I'm making a CWM backup of first of my current state (that's assuming this backup will actually work).
EDIT: Yes! That did it! Widgets position weren't saved but it's ok I only had a few so I manually put them back. Thank you! I never knew TB had the ability to work with nandroid backups.
I guess this now just leaves me figuring out what went wrong with the CWM backup. It happened twice (I have two backups from the same day that won't restore). Does anyone else use CWM Touch 5.8.0.2 and have successful backups? I would experiment to see if it works now but I don't want to end up with a corrupt backup and redo everything again.
Yes with me its the same thing my data its corrupt is even worse every time I do a nanobackup and restarted my phone the phone freezes on the boot logo and I have to go back to recovery trying to use my backups but I can't so I have to flash a new from again and start from the beginning again!!!! Anybody here has the same experience with that ???
So AGAIN, I'm having the same issue. This time on a recovery 5.5.0.4 that used to work for me when I originally got my phone. I think either my data partition might be too big or something but this really needs to fixed pronto. Anyone know how to contact Koush directly in regards to this matter?
