Hi,
Made a complete nandroid backup, with all options selected in amon ra 2.2.1. Flashed MIUI to try it out and decided to go back to Myn's.
Upon selecting nandroid restore, I get nothing but the splashscreen and it hangs there. I left it on for over 30 mins in case it was working and I couldn't tell, but unfortunately it just hung.
I had a2sd installed, is it possible that because the ext partition was blown away that this is causing issues ???

I had a similar problem only I made a backup on one phone, then when i got a new phone (same 0004 hardware version), I tried restoring the backup and it failed 2 or 3 times. not sure what was going on.
How long would you say it takes to restore the nandroid backup?
I understand you solved the problem, but I wanted to mention this: If you are using ROM Manager it is a good idea to make a CWM backup as well as an Amon RA nandroid. If one doesn't work, the other may! And, if you are not using ROM manager, you might want to think about it. Also, if you are not making multiple backups, you might want to think about that as well.

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.

PLEASE HELP!

I was facing similar problem but thanks to @hecklbrg, It did the trick. Cheers.
So I tried to make a nandroid backup today and had to pull the battery because it was taking forever. I checked the size of the file and it was over 3GB. I've made a bunch of backups before and they are usually aroud 200mb or so. What could be the problem? Any help would be great. Thanks.
my average aosp backup is 200-300mb, sense 500-600mb, desirehd mod 600-700mb
theres definitely a problem there, you could try RA recovery and do a backup (honestly i think its better but your absolutely fine if you have at least 1 good RA backup just to save your RSA keys) delete that 3gb backup file/folder because its obviously bad, try again and see if it still does it, if so then go into Rom Manager and flash RA recovery then reflash Clockwork and try the backup
That's either a glitch or you have some SERIOUS stuff on your phone lol. Anyway, I'd recommend reflashing Clockwork if it happens again.
I deleted the bad backup then I tried flashing RA Recovery and doing a new backup with the same results. What I ended up doing was restoring a previous backup and then tried and new backup. All is back to normal now.
I want to update my radio, wimax, pri, and nv. I know I should make a backup using RA recovery. Do I do a normal backup or backup with ext? I want to make sure I backup my RSA keys. Thanks for the help guys.
normal backup is fine
glad your problem is resolved
Ok, simply put, I am not able to restore a nandroid properly. I tried 2 different ones and when I reboot the phone just after the completion from recovery, it hangs on the white HTC screen forever (waited 40-50 mins before I took the battery out, with no luck). The "older" nandroid was restored succesfully a couple of weeks ago, so that's not the problem.
Any ideas? Thanks.
S-off and custom hboot image?
If yes make sure the hboot is not to small.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Nope, S-ON. Recovery is AmonRA if it even matters, and the nandroids are MIUI_Au roms.
Sorry for double-posting, but just wanted to say I finally managed to restore the nandroid.
If it happens to anyone else, what i did was flashing the same exact rom the nandroid had in it. After that, back to recovery, wipe all user data and dalvik cache, and restore the nandroid.
Maybe it's something related to the kernel and not the rom itself. Anyway it's fixed.
So tonight I was trying to show off my phone to a friend that didn't understand the concept of rooting. I made a nandroid of my current rom, so I could flash a past nandroid. As I started flashing, it was able to flash the boot and the system, but it could not flash the data for some odd reason. I am using clockwork mod 2.5.0.7, and have been using it before, but have never ran into this problem. I even tried flashing the nandroid that I had made tonight, but the same problem occurred. Any ideas?
Ps. My roms were MIUI 1.8.5(nandroid tonight) and Synergy RC 1(past nandroid).

Was your battery level low?

It was at 60%. All I've read is that 30% is the minimum you can flash stuff at so the phone won't die.
Did you have ample space on your sd card when the backup was made? Cuz if not that portion could have been corrupted and not flashing.
+1 for a corrupted nand. Was there any transfers of the nand between pc and phone? Sometimes they can get corrupted like that. Also I suggest using amon ra 2.3 for recovery.

I have plenty of space on my sdcard (1.74 GB), and I had not messed with it on my computer. After trying the synergy backup and it not working, I tried to restore the backup I had just made that night, and it came up with the same problem. And I switched to Amon a few months back, but it is not as convenient as Clockwork to make nand backups. I have been contemplating switching to Amon, but the convenience of Clockwork is overwhelming with rom manager.
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!
