I received a replacement galaxy nexus today from Amazon. I made a nandroid backup using CWM recovery on the old Galaxy Nexus phone. Pulled the sim card from the new phone, put it in the new phone to confirm it worked. I then tried to connect my old phone to the PC to copy over the nandroid, but now the computer will not mount the phone and i am unable to see anything on the phone. I tried putting a new sim card in the phone but the computer still does not see the phone. I have the galaxy nexus toolkit kit installed but it does not show it attached currently.
All i'm trying to do is copy the nandroid backup i created on the old phone to the new phone. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Most likely you need to disable "USB fast charge" and the comp will recognize your phone again. As far as the restore, why not use TiBu?
Thank you so much, disabling fast charge did the trick.
I must confess that even though i have the Pro TiBu, I don't really understand all of what it can do. I was under the impression that it simply backed up the apps and system data. Does it also back up music etc similar to a CWM nandroid backup?

You can use your nandroid.
I used to pop old nandroids from my DX onto it's refurbished brothers without problem.
Does the replacement phone have to be unlocked and rooted prior to installing the old phone's nandroid or will the nandroid carry over the unlock and root status? Thanks!
The new phone needs to be unlocked with a custom recovery if you want to restore the nandroid. Root will come with the nandroid.
Hello all! The USB port on my phone is messed up. I can get the phone to charge, but not connect to the computer (it's got a short in it. Charging will work if I hold the cord in a particular way, but no amount of wiggling will allow the computer to recognize it). I can transfer files to and from the phone pretty easily using the FTPServer app, but LGNPST won't work, nor will anything else that requires a USB connection.
Now, I would like to send it in and get it repaired, as it is under warranty for another month or so, but I need to completely revert to stock in order to do so (right?). Does anyone have any idea how I can do this without LGNPST or USB connectivity?
Thanks!

If you backed up your stock ROM, boot into recovery restore the backup, then you would need to use freegee and restore your bootloader and recovery images, then in supersu under settings there is a full unroot option.

Okay, so in theory, if I foolishly unlocked my phone in the early days before FreeGee existed, and therefore have no bootloader and recovery images to restore, is there still a way to do this? Can I use the images from another person's phone, or are they phone-specific?
You should be able to use someone elses, just as long as your restoring a ROM that matches the freegee backup such as ZV9 TWRP backup requires a freegee backup of ZV9 as well.
As far as stock ROMs go. There is a thread in the dev section listing a Odexed and deodexed stock ROM for the Sprint LGOG.
Hello everyone thanks for checking out my post for assistance.
I was running the OpTimuS 2.2 yesterday when my phone jumped into a boot-loop. The phone will be on for about 20-40 seconds then reboot. During that time I have no service and when I update the profile I get a message that I don't have any service. I can get into recovery and Download mode. I tried to just wipe and install the rom again. That process resulted in the same boot loop. I have a back up but that was done before the "spark" update and I didn't want to restore that because I know there will be an issue with the radio. I downloaded the stock rooted rom but the phone will not stay on long enough to transfer the file and when I try and load via recovery it will not allow me to transfer the file. (never shows up on computer I might be doing that wrong) I then attempted to bring the phone back to stock following this process http://www.rwilco12.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=96 but when I get down to step 13 the program will not respond anymore. I am going a friends house to try on a different computer but I wanted to get this out there just in case that has the same result.
Thanks again for any info that you could provide.

Flashing back to stock won't work, I had the same thing happened.......it's the EFS Partition (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451390) If you made a EFS Partition Backup, then flashing that will be your best hope.....I didn't make a backup so I went to sprint cuz I have insurance and they are ordering me a new phone

They replaced it even though your phone was rooted?
Try installing an updated modem for your variant from this thread. It's worth a try.

If you get it working, definitely make an EFS backup right away.

I used the LGFlashTool to bring it back to stock unrooted.......but my phone had no sevice and rebooted every couple minutes, plus the touchscreen wasn't working either.....I told them I took the Spark update and thats when it happened, he said they had alot of issue with touchscreen stopped working and rebooting issue with the spark update......so they didn't look at it long...lol
I have tried back to stock numbers of times....installing modems....restoring my backups....nothing would get it to work, so I gave up and went to sprint...lol
On the rom you were using, have you tried enabling airplane mode to prevent reboots? You could try to get a stock-based flashable zip on the device if possible.

Have we ruled out the possibility to flash a stock ROM in TWRP? If by any chance you have a USB OTG cable, you could try to connect a flash drive with another ROM.
This is my last ditch effort. Small back story: I somehow wiped EVERYTHING on my G2. EFS partition, ESN, data, SIM info., everything with dialer codes. All of my network information reads "unknown". I tried many methods from here on the forums to get this data back and it turns out I have lost my EFS partition- DNA for the network? I sent it to LG to get it fixed, having done a hard reset and leaving no trace of root. They sent it back without even asking and did no repairs. The note said "board bent". WTF?? How does the user bend the main board, especially when I never opened it? They voided my warranty and ripped off my IMEI/MEID sticker from the back of the phone.
Anyways, I am here with a brick. No network still. Here is what I have done:
1) .tot method to ZVC. Several more times... once to ZV7 where I lost touch capability. Luckily saved my arse with a micro->usb cable and a mouse.
2) attempted to root with ioroot25. Failed because the phone WILL NOT find recovery mode. adb, voldown+pwr then again from power off, and apps are unable to force the phone into recovery mode. I assume it is possible that my recovery mode is deleted?
3) Would have tried all of these "rewrite your efs/imei/etc" things but I can't do any without root. Can't root without recovery, can I?
4) Spent the last two weeks scouring the internet for a fix and going back to my Epic 4G temporarily.
Please help me, has anyone seen this before? Can anyone help me fix it? I am to the point where I would pay to have it fixed. Any experts out there? XDA has yet to let me down... I just need to know if I can fix it or if it is a brick so I can go searching for an old Sprint GS3.
Thanks all,

Hi guys.
I've owned my M8 for a while, and have already sent it in for repair twice (first time: dropped and cracked screen, paid a hundred bucks because HTC Advantage doesn't apply in Singapore; second time: proximity sensor didn't work because of a bad repair job). Now, the Duo camera doesn't work (also likely a bad repair job), and I just feel like I want to send it in for service.
The problem is that HTC insists on factory resetting my phone every time I send it in for service, and even worse, most apps insist on storing their data in the internal flash memory. So I lose most of my stuff, especially WhatsApp conversations. HTC Backup just doesn't cut it as I've also got a couple of side-loaded apps which aren't backed up by it.
Are there any complete solutions for backing up which I can use so that after I get my phone back, I can restore it to as close as it was before sending it in?

Advice? Sure, I've got it.
Use an extSD. Do a nandroid ALWAYS when you do mods.
Sending it in for hardware problems?
Back it up before you send it in.
What I suggest to do EVERY TIME YOU DO A BACKUP is to save it to your extSD.
It will save you a ****ton of steps when you get it returned.
So.... Do the backup to extSD.
when you get the phone back and you start it up, DO NOT DO ANYTHING THAT WILL CONNECT YOU TO THE INTERNET. DO NOT UPDATE>
Try firewater to s-off. (you haven't updated, it might work)
If needed, use Sunshine s-off.
Do all that rooting stuff.
Update firmware and flash the backup.
Enjoy your phone being just the way it was before you sent it for repairs.
(I may have missed something, but I think not. If I have, please feel free to correct me)

Alright, thank you very much... But can you temporarily boot a custom recovery on the phone? i.e. use the 'boot recovery.img' command in ADB to get it done?

When you flash a custom recovery and make a backup to the external sdcard it will be there when you get your phone back.
Before you send it in just flash your stock recovery the same way you would the custom recovery and do your factory data/reset .
When you get your phone back from repairs than re flash the custom recovery you used to make the backup and reboot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset again so you can restore your backup.of course make sure your backup is where it should be before you wipe just in case .
Question for those of you who may know more than I do.
I have…well had, a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 that got a shower over the weekend. The USB port is definitely fried, and who knows what other damage may have occurred, but the phone still turns on and works fine. I decided to buy a used S3 to replace mine rather than try to fix the port not knowing if that was the only problem.
Now my question, my phone was rooted at the L710VPBMD4 OTA level, I have 4.2.2 CM v10.1.2 installed on the phone, and would like to keep it that way till I make sure everything is working the way I had it.
If the new (used) phone I receive has received either the L710VPUCMK3 or L710VPUCND8 OTAs will I have any problems loading my NAND backup and TB backups to recover my phone to the point it was wet?
(luckily the phone still had enough battery power to get these done)
Added: I also used CWM Recovery v6.0.3.0 for My NAND backups, do I have to continue to use this version to recover properly from, or will it work with Philz Recovery?
If there is a problem just straight loading my backups to the phone, is there anything I can do to make it work?
I know there is a root method difference for the L710VPUCMK3 or L710VPUCND8 OTAs, I’m just concerned about being able to recover my backups at the level they are at. Right now I don’t want to have to upgrade CM until I make sure everything is right, even then I will probably only upgrade to 10.2.1, as CM11 doesn’t seem quite ready…at least from what I’ve experienced on other phones/tablets.
Thanks in advance….

Well.....as long as the bootloader and modem weren't backed up you should be able to restore the CM11 as long as you use the same recovery......that being said you won't be able to restore the stock rom cause i believe the bootloader and modem get backed up with that one. Also it could come with the NJ3 update in which case you won't be able to root at all. I also wan't to add that i have no faith in TB for restoring app data cause that will cause problems with your phone.

I will be restoring a CM10.1.2 mod, not CM11, if that makes a difference.
So I will need to use CWM 6.0.3.0, and can not use Philz Recovery. .. Just verifying.
I’m not worried about using my old stock rom backup, I can get a new one with the new phone, my old one never had anything on it, as I loaded CM the day I got the phone new.
How can I tell if the Boot loader/Modem are a part of the NAD backup? The files I have in the NAND are:
boot.img 10,240 KB <--- would this be the boot loader?
cache.ext4.tar 0 KB
cache.ext4.tar.a 54, 238 KB
data.ext4.tar 0 KB
data.ext4.tar.a 976,563 KB
data.ext4.tar.b 976,569 KB
data.ext4.tar.c 728,600 KB
nandroid.md5 1 KB
recovery.img 10,240 KB
system.ext4.tar 0 KB
system.ext4.tar.a 350,522 KB
Is NJ3 a Sprint released OTA? It was not in their list, ND8 was listed as current. The phone I’m getting should be a sprint phone, but I won’t know what level the phone is at till it gets here Wednesday.
As for TB restore, I shouldn't have to since my NAND is current, but so far I’ve been lucky with TB.
@bilgerryan do you have any advise for this person i have reached the limit of the help i can give with the experience that i have on this version of the phone....
Thanks for your help, I'm trying to get as much information as I can on this before I get my "new" phone and brick it with what I am trying to do.
Once I have the phone it may not be an issue if it hasn't received OTAs, the best scenario is that is at the MD4 level, but I doubt I will be that lucky. I expect it has been updated to MK3 or ND8, which is why I am asking what I'm asking.
OK, my guess is that boot.img is not the boot loader, as I see that file in CM ROM zip files, and CM ROMs do not contain a boot loader, can anyone confirm that this is correct?

no problem and if anyone can help you more then me it's Ryan since he still has the Sph-L710 and he's a Developer.....while i have the newer Sph-L710T and im on Boost Mobile
Few follow-up questions:
1) Will CWM 6.0.3.0 work fine with the phone has been updated to MK3 or ND8?
2) If not, can I restore a backup made on CWM 6.0.3.0 with CWM 6.0.4.5? (seems to be the latest version)
3) If the “new” phone is on MK3 or ND8 can you still use a previous android version, like 4.2.2? (This is basically what I will be doing, but using a NAND backup to restore the phone)
4) Will a NAND backup contain the boot loader or modem? How can I tell if mine does?
This would prevent me from being able to recover with my NADN backup, from what 6th_Hokage said, and from what other information I’ve read on this. It would brick.
Still hoping I can using my NAND backup from MD4 phone to recover to a phone that may be at a higher level. So far from all the reading I am doing on this I should be able to, as long as I don’t try to flash the firmware back to MD4. Which isn’t an issue if my NAND will work, if it won’t then I’ll just be forced to rebuild from scratch, which I am REALLY hoping to avoid.
Ok, after reading as much as I could last night…my head hurts…
But it looks like I can do what I hope to do, if the planets and stars align.
Best case scenario, the “new” phone I get is at MD4 and is the SPH-710 variant. (doubt I can get that lucky)
If the phone is the SPH-710T – It goes back and I’m out of luck, as it’s a crap shoot buying a used phone when they don’t make a distinction between the 710 and 710T (Thanks 6th_Hokage, when you mentioned the 710T and on Boost Mobile, I figured it was a variant for them and VM, not for sprint, I’ve found out it is a sprint branded phone too)
If the phone is a 710 variant and even if it has been upgraded to MK3 or ND8 I should still be able to use my NAND backup to recover my old ROM (4.2.2 CM v10.1.2).
I should be able to use either CWM 6.0.3.0 or CWM 6.0.4.5 on the new phone to restore my NAND that was made with CWM 6.0.3.0… even if the phone is at MK3 or ND8.
My NAND should not contain the boot loader or modem, but I’m not sure how to tell. If it does, I’ll need to figure out how to make a NAND that exclude them. How can I tell if my NAND contains these? (because if it does and I restore, it will brick, if on MK3 or ND8)
If anyone can provide some insight on this that would be great.
Thanks,
Next on the list of my research findings.
I have found conflicting information, in one post I found that I would get an asset error if I try to install CM 10.1.2 (or I think any 10.x version) when on either MK3 or ND8. Then in another port I read that there should not be a problem installing any version of CM when on MK3 or ND8.
Can anyone confirm either post? Can CM10x work on MK3/ND8? Or will an assert error get thrown?
If an assert error is thrown only during install, I wonder if I bypass this by using a NAND restore like I plan, since the “install” of CM has already occurred, and I am just restoring a backup.
You may ask yourself why I am going through all this to recover an older version of CM. Well my phone was completely stable where it was, it did everything I needed to without error. While I’ve considered upgrading, that always seems to introduce issues, and I needed a smooth working phone over some of the stated benefits of CM11.

Great to hear it will work, now just have to hope they didn't send me a 710T variant...Will know tomorrow.
Hopefully it will work the same with CWM, as that is what my backup was made by, I've read that CWM and TWRP backups are not compatible.

Correct, not to mention TWRP doesn't mount or storage correctly anyway. I suggest using Philz, it's a zero issue recovery.
Will Philz correctly restore a CWM backup?
If not I'll have to stick with CWM until I get everything back working.

Well PhilZ is literally a touchscreen CWM and every time I made a backup with it the folder where the backup was is called "Clockworkmod" or "CWM" I can't remember the exact wording cause I've been using a beta TWRP made for the L710T
OK partial success, significant failure.
New phone received, it was an SPH-710 model, but was at ND8. But from what people have commented and what I read this wasn’t going to be a problem.
SO I rooted the device, all went well.
Restored my NAND backup, all went well.
Restored back to stock for activation, trouble started. IMEI information is gone !!
Restored back to CM10.1.2, IMEI information is there, but it contains the previous owner’s phone number.
I am able to activate the phone, everything seems to go fine.
I reboot and get data, I can receive data. I rejoiced.
I tried a text, fail.
I tried a call, fail…the rejoicing ended.
Checking phone status the person’s old phone number is still associated with the phone.
Normally this would be taken care of in stock by doing a profile reset. So Im not at a loss..
I need to see if I can recover the IMEI information in CM and transfer to Stock to do a reset on the phone to get it to activate right.
Any Ideas? I'm going to start a new thread just on this question, as this one was more about recovering my old phone to the new one.

I need to see if I can recover the IMEI information in CM and transfer to Stock to do a reset on the phone to get it to activate right.
Any Ideas? I'm going to start a new thread just on this question, as this one was more about recovering my old phone to the new one.

I'm glad you were able to restore your
NAND backup of
CyanogenMod 10.2.1!

Not exactly, while I was able to restore the NAND backup, it was not usable, I could not activate the phone because in stock all the IMEI information was blank. I was able to recover from that. So now I am trying just to load a fresh CM10.2.1 onto the phone, but it's giving me issues. Starting HERE at post #1848.
