How long should a nandroid take? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My last nandroid just hung at making md5 sum for 3 minutes. How long should it take on a sebse rom?
I propose a toast to the 21st century.

Okay. Will try again. My defy never ever took that long to md5.

I just let it go for 5-10 mins and got nothing....

It shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes.

Mine takes about 3 to 5 minutes as well. May be a function of the number of apps as well as the size of the SD card.

Lockup when backing up

Twice in the last two days my phone has locked up in the middle of a nandroid backup: once when started through ROM Manager, and once when started in Recovery.
I've had the phone since Launch Week (about a year ago, now!). Never happened before. I pulled the battery, booted into recovery, and started the process over. Both times it worked just fine after that.
Anybody else seeing this?
Not seeing that. I got mine on launch day too. Got ample space on the SD?

It can take longer than that. DO NOT UNPLUG or stop the process.

Y does it take that long? I just did my friends s4g and it took like 10 minutes

Not sure.. It's quick for some, and can take over an hour for others, from my experience at least. I got impatient once and unplugged and got stuck in the "problem installing firmware " screen and had to Odin back to stock.

it can vary, i used this set of instructions and it took me about 15 minutes from start to finish...

i found out why. it depends on the .tar files. i tried 4 different ones from different webites and the last one i use went through in less then 5 minutes....maybe even 3
It's tough to find a good clean file now since mega-upload server disappeared...

Stalled, then date reset to 12-31-1999

today all of the sudden my phone stalled/froze for the very first time.
I ended up removing the battery to force a restart. once it booted up, my time was off and the date was set to December 31, 1999 (kinda weird since its the day before y2k.)
Anyway, has this happened to anyone? And what causes this?
Thanks

It hasn't happened to me and I haven't heard of it happening. Tell me about your phone. Are you rooted? Have a from? If so, which one? I believe the time and date are actually found through your data connection (or wifi). Maybe try updating prl and restart. If anything, I think the ics ota update occurs tomorrow, so that will undoubtedly fix it.

I'm rooted and running calk v2.9.2
My phone had been solid until I updated to calk3.0. So now i'm flashed back down to 2.9.2 and things are good until the stall.

Great scott! If you are reading this centro714, it seems that when you pulled your battery, it caused a ripple in the space-time continuum leading you to travel back to the date December 31st, 1999. Meet my former self at the Silver Spring diner on first and third street in Baltimore, MD at precisely 8:14pm PST and he, or I, will be able to help you return to the future.

Average nandroid time?

So I just performed a nandroid for the first time in months (tsk tsk I know) and it took about 45 minutes to complete! It is 1.3gb in size, so not huge.
Does the amount of time this took mean my sdcard is dying? I've got a class 6. Or does this mean I've got an old and slow format (fat32 I think). Or could this be an issue with the new cwm 6?
Anyways I'm just curious what your guys thoughts are on this and your average nandroid times. I've never had one take more than five minutes or so prior to this... Thanks!

No one else experiences 45 minute nandroid sessions? lol
mine take hella long too. cwm6. but only like 25 to 30 minutes for mine and it was about 2.1 gig. with twrp, it is done in a couple minutes. maybe has something to do with md5 checking because i turn it off in twrp. idk, it stumps me too.
Interesting... It must be the new CWM6 backup format?
It's very odd though because one of the "HUGE" reasons for CWM 6's release was "2x faster backups".
BTW, I just made a backup with TWRP, done on minutes, not nearly an hour.

yea and instead of the bulk of the files being put into the 'backup' folder, the bigger folder is the 'blobs' folder. check it out. and if any of the blobs are deleted, the backup won't work. I really do like how quickly twrp backs up tho.
Mine usually only take 5 mins or less... if they take longer than that they usually dont work.

And is this with CWM 6?
My back up times were long also, with most of the time stuck in the freeing up space part when backing up to my SD card but when choosing backup to internal it barely takes 2-3 mins. This is with cwm 6 by the way.

Mine took 8 minutes 25 seconds using Agat 0.2.1. Almost 4 minutes of that was the md5. Compressed about 8 gigs to 1.2 gigs.

So I did another one today with TWRP that was bigger in size than my original CWM 6 backup. It was done in maybe five minutes or less.
I guess the conclusion is that my sdcard is fine. Cwm 6 is just slow as hell! I'll stick with twrp from now on

Recovery Backups

My phone seems to take a while backing everything up. Like 10 minutes is the slowest it will take, I've tried CWM and now TWRP. I'm wondering if this is an issue with other phones.
I don't think its an "issue" those backups are 3.5gigs.

It didn't even take two minutes on my Nexus 4, that's why I am asking.

Ur talking about a phone that's far away from this phones capacity, this phone is revolutionary and advanced compared to Ur nexus... Nd yes it takes a long time to back up things also that depends one how many apps take out of Ur memory nd Ur settings as well.. Personally I find twrp to be the fastest to back things up... My backs ups size is 2.5 gb and on cwm takes like 5-6 mins while on twrp takes less than 3 mins so the more stuff you have on Ur phone the longer it's gonna take it to back it up... Hope I helped
