[Q] Nandroid error - Can't backup - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok guys I'm getting an error and I'm not sure how to fix it.
When I try to make a nandroid backup (through recovery or ROM manager) it starts ok, backs up boot image, backs up recovery image, backs up system and data, but when it starts to backup .android_secure on the sd card I get the error...
Error while making a backup image of /sdcard/.android_secure!
What's going wrong? I've tried rebooting a few times, tried to do a backup about five times, but I always get this error.
Any help much appreciated.

Check recovery.log I think there's an option "move log to SD" in advanced or something.
It should tell you a little more.

[Q] can't restore a nandroid backup...need help

hey guys.
i've gone through a lot of searching and still no solution. PLEASE READ THIS SO YOU DONT RECOMMEND SOMETHING I ALREADY TRIED!
i tried to restore a nand backup from yesterday and i'm getting "run nandroid-mobile.sh restore from adb!"
battery is fully charged. sd card is there and all the files are there. i already fixed the md5sum and still get the same issue.
it seems it's not a problem with the backup itself because i can't backup or restore, or even use the ms-usb toggle. for every command i get the error to do it in adb?
i only had that one backup and i really dont want to start from scratch! nothing has happened to have corrupted the backup, so i'm strongly holding to the view that its not corrupted, something else happened.
everything was working fine. i tried changing a file in framework-res.apk, that put me into a bootloop. so i wiped data/cache/dalvik like always and went to restore and bam...error...
any ideas guys? need to fix this ASAP.
EDIT: i just reflashed amonra recovery to make sure it wasnt messed. was able to make a backup (of what i dont know, phone is wiped) and restore it....ms-usb toggle worked now....but still get the .sh error when trying to restore my backup. damn!
EDIT 2: got it working. after reflashing amonra i was able to do a backup (of the empty phone)...i had changed the name of the folder for my backup (no spaces though) and it looks like this was throwing amonra off. i renamed the folder to match the structure of the backup i had just made and was able to restore!
thanks me!

help restoring nandroid backup..phone out of order(resolved)

hello. so i did a nandroid backup of my rooted el29 gingerbread + cwm epic 4g phone a week ago. it created a folder on my external sd card (sdcard/external sd/sdc2012-06-2012 folder) ive also continously made titanium backups of the apps + sys data. so i let a friend uninstall a system app(id bloatware) just to prove it could be uninstalled but dont like that i get error messages now sometimes when accessing email, etc. i tried a titanium backup but it hangs for 5min. now im trying a nandroid restore in cwm v5.0.2.7. where is a good guide for this? i went to restore but it keeps saying "error opening directory. No files found." i dunno what directory its searching but clearly not the correct one as i verified almost 700MB of data on external sd card. ive wiped data, cache so it only boots to "samsung logo screen." i also have a backup nandroid on my server so how to i get it to actually restore?
06-12-2012 update: crisis averted. i remember doing advanced backup w/ cwm recovery originally so i just did regular backup. it created a directory cwm/backup/new folder. i put the files from original advanced backup over to correct location and restore did it!! this is just like the acronis images i do for my pc's. what a wonderful thing!!

[Q] Cannot make a nandroid. Always get "error while restoring /data"

Please help. I have tried to make a nandroid backup multiple times, and each time I go to restore, I get the message "Error While restoring /data".
I am new to the S3 (first android) and originally followed the guide in this video verbatim for rooting without triggering the flash counter:
youtube/watch?v=xNB-cJoittU (sorry had to edit hyperlink because I do not have enough posts to submit one yet)
I am able to flash ROMs fine, the backups are created fine (get no error message), but every time I hit "restore" and select the backup I get that message... making this whole backup thing rather useless.
I have tried to save these backups to both internal and external SD card.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Is it giving u a md5 sum mismatch?

D did you change the name of the backup file? Sometimes that can cause weirdness. As a (personal) general rule, i don't change the name of files with calculated checksums.

[Q] [CM10] Bootloop just after startup

I hope this is the right subforum, there are _so_ many q-q
Hello,
Yesterday I was up to surfing on my GNex running CM10 nightly 2012-08-2?, but it just hung, vibrated, showed me the Google logo and booted up again. This is not unusual since it is a very early build, but when it was up again and demanded my PIN, I could hardly enter 3 digits when it hung and rebooted again. After 6 times it really annoyed me and I pulled out the battery.
I tried booting in Safe Mode, but that didn't work either. So I wiped system and both caches, flashed the same build again, same problem
I can imagine that wiping data would help, but my last backup is quite a few weeks old and I don't want to lose my data so this would be the very last solution.
I hope someone will be able to help me

Oh, maybe this could be important: I use ClockworkMod Touch 6.0.1.0
You could try to flash the newest nightly and see if that works, but in the end I think you are going to have wipe your data. You could make a backup from cwm and try wiping than restoring the backup. I don't know if that would help any but it could be worth a shot.
And dont restore app/system data.

If you can still get into the recovery, you can run a backup and then restore apps/data from a nandroid via titanium backup once you get it up and running.
Nandroid does not really work.
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.0
SD Card space free: 7426MB
Backing up boot image...
Backing up recovery image...
Backing up system...
Freeing space...
Done freeing space.
Backing up data...
Error while making a backup image of /data!
Does anyone know why it doesn't, or maybe another backup solution?
Could I do a backup with another recovery? Or could flashing anotherr recovery even cause data loss?
Triple post hope you can forgive me
So I flashed TWRP. Nandroid didn't work there, too, but I think I know the reason: /data needs to be mountet read-only for the backup, but this is impossible when it is written to the internal storage (/data/media). And since neither TWRP nor ClockworkMod have a TCP stack, I'll need an USB-OTG-adaptor and an USB flash drive. Luckily, I know someone who has one, gonna ask him tomorrow...

Sorry folks, I fixed this myself. I reinstalled TWRP and it backed up successfully.
Its curious that I was able to backup to an external SD card prior to reinstalling TWRP.

Ok great next time:
1) best is to use the official TWRP support thread
2) attach the full recovery log not only a bit of it and use http://bpaste.net and a long time period to provide it
Besides that I'm glad it works for you now.

steadfasterX, FYI. I had the error happen again and it was caused by the same thing the original error was caused by. I had been creating multiple nandroid backups and wanted to clear them out and get the latest one ready for a recovery if needed. So I deleted them via Windows 10 Explorer. When I went back in to create the new nandroid backup I got the TWRP error. I also tried pasting a nandroid recovery from an external SD card to see if this would resolve the error, but it did not. This happened twice. Reinstalling your latest TWRP image fixed the problem.
