hey guys
need help..i rooted my desire using unrevoked3

right now stuck..
help me guys...
...
hi,
sorry for your problem with that.
i flashed my handy ´bout 40 times and never had issues with nandroid not responding.
how ever, ... i fi understand right, the nandroid backup is a "backup" which means it reads the data out of the phones nand and stores it on the micro Sdhc card.
i think that it should be no problem to remove the battery and put it right back in the phone. but i am not 100% sure if any damage on the phone could happen if you interrupt the nandroid backup. maybe lost of data of the sd card could occur.
Hope that you ll get a better answer soon from another member
Good Luck
Boot into recovery and restore the backup. It happens quite often after your first backup.

hey mike..
i have got clockwork mod recovery 2.5.7 (unrevoked3) and whenever i try to do ndroid backup the screen goes blank ( or something like that)
how do we know the backup has been finished ;?
The screen shouldn't go blank.
What happens when you choose restore in clockworkmod? Does it give you any backups to choose from?

Jus restored the original backup made got it workin again!!
thnx to "rastaman-fb" from android-forums
1st of all doing a backup using rom manager or clockwork after rooting causes a boot loop. its easy to fix. just restore your nandroid backup you made that caused the boot loop in the first place
go to recovery (voldown + power) use volume rocker to select recovery and press power to boot to recovery
go into backup and restore and restore the backup

I had the same problem with my HTC EVO 4G using clockwork recovery 5.0.2.2. Phone is rooted, but still has the default ROM.
I ran a backup and my screen went black. I waited for a while, but then I forced my phone to reboot by yanking the battery and my phone DID actually recover on its own.
I tried running the backup one more time and found that the backup was actually taking place. I could see the progress text if I held the phone in just the right lighting. I waited for about 5 more minutes and my phone rebooted, completing the backup successfully.
So long story short, if your screen goes black, just be patient and wait...it may just be running silent.

hello I just replaced a broken EVO and now that it is rooted I am trying to restore my old backup from my previous evo.. I am having a problem though
I go through all the normal process to restore a backup and everything works fine the super user permission pops up and the phone reboots but instead of rebooting directly into the reboot session it just boots me into the clockwork mod recovery recovery menu.. when i select the folder the recovery files are located in it shows up blank.. what am I doing wrong here? In the past when I selected to restore a backup from inside the os it just rebooted and started restoring automatically.. I feel like an extra step has now been added and I dont know what it is?
I should also not that while I do not know if it is related or not when I try to restore the backup from the nandroid section of the recovery menu it hangs on checking md5 sums and then says error while flashing boot image!
mind you this is on 2 separate backups I created in the past with clockwork mod recovery
It's probably not a good idea to use an old nandroid backup on a new phone. Think of how kernels run well on some EVO phones and not others. Your current phone might even be one of the EVOs with new hardware.

ok but can I still get all my apps and data back?
it would be terrible to lose all of that
and now to make matters even worse my phone is stuck on an endless loop on clockwork mod recovery I every time I select reboot system now instead of it booting into the stock rooted rom it just reloads the clockwork mod recovery menu.. what gives?
yeah, not good to load a backup from a different phone. This has been documented as happening. Just reflash whatever rom you want then radios then kernel. Sorry but if you didn't use a backup prog I thinkyou will have to manually restore apps. You may want to try titanium backup, solves the problem, use it and follow the backup instructions in Titanium backup wiki on their web site and you should be good to go next time.
Did you try a battery pull and reboot?

Nandroid backups are phone specific, you can't move them from phone to phone. You probably hosed your RSA keys which means your 4g may be broke. If I were you I would try to flash a stock rom and then reroot if needed. If that gets you out of the bootloop your in. You maybe visiting a Sprint store for a replacement phone again.
guys I could really use some help here please!
I went back to the stock rooted rom today.. all day I was adding apps making changes restarting the phone no problems.. I finally get my phone set up how I like it so I decided it was a great time to make a backup so I open clockwork mod recovery and select backup it gives me the superuser permissions prompt and restarts.. instead of starting the backup automatically it sends me directly to the clockwork mod recovery menu and now it will not load the phone's OS at all just reboot after reboot into clockwork mod recovery this is a 1 day old evo what is going on here!!??

Hey that exact thing happened to me. it happened the first time i ever loaded anything on my phone. I freaked out. Turned out the Clockword mod recovery I had must have had something wrong. I went back into the part where you load the CWM from the computer. My phone is different than yours so I cant be sure but you go into bootloader by pressing stuff, its where the logo stays there the whole time. then you flash the CWM again. and then reload the operating system and stuff. should work but just redo the CWM again. Hope it works out for you. Hope thats what it is for you too.
Trying to backup my stock rom before flashing another, but I can't seem to make it past the beginning of backup in clockworkmod. It goes to "Backing up system..." and then the file it's backing up and just stops.
The phone isn't frozen because it responds when I press the power button, but it seems to be just stuck on the early stages of backing up.
I have almost 5 gb left in my sd card and I'm running clockwork 3.0.0.5. Any ideas?
i've been getting some weird **** like that since going to 3.0.0.5 .. id freezes on some stuff like wiping data and dalvik.. and had the backup freeze too..
I'm trying to downgrade back to the previous version.. will report back if it's better
Went back to 2.5.1.2 (only one I could download online, rom manager wouldn't let me go to 2.5.1.4) and it worked. So my suggestion is to go back.

I had a similar issue, trying that now
Everytime I back up with ROM Manager it completes and when I do a restore it goes to my lock screen then goes back to the CM7 splash screen.
Is there a way I can verify my back ups? Any idea what is going wrong here or how to fix it? Using CWM 3.0.0.8

I'm using CM7 as well, and CWM3.0.0.7. You can use root explorer, or equivelant, and check in /sd card/clockworks/backups. If the backup worked properly it should be listed in there. Also, I have found it more reliable to go into recovery and do the backup manually from there.
Also, when you restore/flash, it's a very good habit to do a full wipe first. That is possibly the problem you are having when you restore.

I am doing full wipes. The backups are there. Like I said it restores up until my lock screen then just goes back to the CM7 boot loader. I can't figure it out for the life of me.

Had this problem. Had to do Advanced Restore one-by-one.

So I think I solved the problem. My SD card needed to be reformatted. Did a backup/restore and it worked fine this time. I guess they just have to be reformatted every once in a while?

You'll have to Odin back to stock. Or restore your nandroid back-up, that I know you have..

Yes, you did a backup before flashing anything, right? You could also reflash the ROM which is probably still on your SD card. Boot into Clockwork with 3 finger and reflash ROM.
Ok I tried installing the new frozen rom and it wasnt booting after like 15 minutes. So I just pulled the battery and did a nandroid backup from my stock rom because I just rooted yesterday. But after the nandroid the rom just goes back into recovery every time i restart it. Even after a battery pull it does the same thing.
Please help!
when all else fails, odin back to stock.

Did you have an EXT4 nandroid backup as well?
Sponged...not bricked. You cannot restore a full RFS nandroid on an EXT4 file system. You should use Titanium to back up apps and data. You can use the nandroid to restore data only in the advanced section. You can also try restoring the nand of beforeExt4 or whatever it is called.
Maybe this could help you restore your phone back to its old glory.

Read my post my phone was truly bricked maybe you could get some insight to fix your phone from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090751
I am starting to believe that the Samsung Epic truly is unbrickable. Good luck with getting your phone to work again and if your have any question just PM me.

What version of Clockwork is it from? Before 3.0.2.5 the kernel was not backed up so you have the corrupt kernel still after the restore. Restore your nandroid and flash another kernel before booting like Genocide and see if that helps.
What is with everyone saying there phone is bricked? A brick means no recovery and no download mode. Use odin or heimdall to flash a tar. Or try to flash something else from recovery

I know it is like every third post now! They should know by now if you can get into download mode it is Sponged not bricked. Just waiting to soak up a fresh system.
