Hey everybody,
I'm rooted for almost 4 months now. I only have one problem,
When I create a nandroid, all goes well, till restoring.
I get a USB-Brick and i can't use the nandroid. This is very annoying after doing a full wipe for another rom. I know it's caused by AmonRA.
I have version 2.0.0> upgrading tot 2.0.1, will that help
And can I do that without S-offing my phone.
I can't use CWM as I have a PVT4 SLCD Desire.
I really don't want to s-off yet.
Any help?
Hi, i have the pv4t w/ slcd, too
Cwm worked to root, then applied the alpharev from bootable CD to s-off. Nandroid backups work 100% safe untilled now.

Thanks but as i mentioned before i don't want to s-off yet.
I don't have any problems without s-off it's just titanium backup takes me ages because i have too many apps and nandroids are much easier but i'll think about it. No other solutions?

I have lost confidence in nandroid, and need help. I rooted using unrEVOked3. I did a nandroid backup before starting on the quest to install Froyo. I went back to stock and rooted with simple root. Installed clockworkmod recovery. I ran into some problems so restored my nandroid backup. The restore worked, but with problems. None of my icons or widgets were restored. My wallpaper went from black to multicolored (default I think). I read that there were some problems with Clockworkmod, so I installed amonRA recovery. I have taken a nandroid backup, but leery of it working. Am I doing something wrong or was it a problem with unrEVOked? I would like to get an answer to this before Taking my next leap and not having a good way back.
Anyone done a restore of a nandroid backup taken under unrEVOked3 with clockworkmod?

We prefer not to use unrevoked as it is not a full root.

I am not anymore, but looking for answers as to why my nandroid backup did not restore correctly.

Maybe because Unrevoked is not full root? Unrevoked causes 50% of the problems that rooted users have with root.
its a very good possibility the problem lies in unrevoked. I nandroid at least once a day (because i flash normally once a day. and yes thats sad). Never had that issue on a full rooted back up. (we are talking 100s of nandroid back ups and restores since i got my evo)
I did nandroid backup of 2.1, flashed burnt droid, and nandroid backup. Restored 2.1 worked great and then restored burnt droid. No problems. Must have been problems caused by unrEVOked3. Thanks everyone.

not to say that unrevoked was the problem but at least on mine when i did it you also have the option to do clockwork or RA. clockwork could have been the problem not wiping completely
Hi guys!
I just rooted my Desire yesterday and started flashing like crazy.However,I'd like to know some things.
First off,I was used to AmonRA recovery with my Hero.Is ClockworkMod the same thing(function wise speaking)?
Secondly,is the backup/restore option the same as nandroid?
And finally,is it hard to have AmonRA on my Desire?
Thanks!
Ive got my Desire setup pretty good but want to try some new roms out.
it was rooted using revoked and running clockwork recovery v2.5.0.7.
Can i just do a Nandroid backup and restore it no problem if i dont like the new roms? or do i need my desire s-off?

YOU NEED S-OFF (AND ENG-OFF IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE BASEBAND RADIO)
wen you do a backup of your older rom you can restore it without problems and it restores user data, apps, system, dalvik cache...etc... all things that you was haved.
try and enjoy new roms after doing a nand backup!!!
EDIT: now is available a new version of Clockworkmod recovery:::: lastest:::: 3.0.2.6 and a new version of ROM MANAGER::::: 4.1.0.0
YOU can install it from android market...
don´t forget that if you use an older version of CWM for sd card partition you can brik your device... be careful!
byeee boooyyyy!!!
To be safe, if you partition it, mount sdcard in pc separately. For Windows, use Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition. Then 0% chance of brick.

Hi guys
Need your help here. I was running a rooted htc desire amoled with a2sd+, s off, with oxygen 2.1.4 rom. Some issue with my phone hardware, sent it for repair, and htc replaced the mainboard, unrooted my phone and returned it to stock.
I made a nandroid backup before i sent the phone in, now my question is, how do i do the nandroid restore.
Do i have to be concerned about the new mainboard, the a2sd+ partition, and the s off? Or can i just root the phone and run the nandroid restore while ignoring everything else?
Thanks in advance
in order to restore a NANDROID your phone partitions must be the same.
so EXT partition must be the same (or larger)
and if you had a custom hboot (oxygent presumably) you must S-OFF and flash it again.
if you were on stock hboot just restore your ext partition
then it should be ok, but im not 100% sure if it will work with new mainboard
Alright thanks.so the steps would be: root,partition , s off followed by nandroid restore? Thanks once again

root, s-off, partition followed by nandroid restore.
Can't partition without s-off.
Awesome, thanks giga
Hi,
I've been using RCMix on my desire for the last couple of months and have loved it, but I feel like changing to something that seems to be updated a lot more often.
I am rooted and S-OFFed through Unrevoked and Alpharev, but on the first post of the ROM's thread it says it requires you to have run Revolutionary.
Is this actually necessary seeing I'm already rooted?
Also, when I flash a new ROM, as I've been using a ROM with A2SD, will the apps in the partition on the SD card cause any problems or will that be sorted with the usual wipe procedures?(I'll be nandroiding and titanium backuping before I do anything)
Many thanks
It just needs S-OFF, no matter if revolutionary or alpharev.
When you wipe prior to flash new ROM all apps from A2SD partition will be deleted, so do titanium backup.
