Hello all, I was in rom Seo 1.4 fusion and I'd like to test runnymede rom rcmix. Then I did a complete backup with clockworkmod, then flash the rom. I can't boot with this rom then I've decided to go back with seo 1.4 and my backup
But during restoring data, it comes black screen and the restore isn't complete (it goes back to clockwork home, but clearing the log message, then it is not written "restore complete"). I've try with another backup, and it fully restore everything. But my restore has 3month... Then I'd like to know if there is a way to use my last backup
I also had a message when wipping davlk cache saying can't mount mmcblk1p2 but I think with a SD card format it goes ok.
Thanks a lot for your help, because I don't understand why my last backup can't restore with the same rom there was...

First off sorry if this is answered in another post, lease kindly direct me to the post if it is =)
I just tried to install a second ROM from ROM Manager. I was running DCU and created a back-up in ClockworkMod before I started then installed the new Fresh ROM successfully. When I tried to go back to my first ROM via the restore point I set up it gets stuck in a boot loop. The 2nd restore point from the Fresh ROM loads up just fine.
Is there anyway to fix the older restore point and get back to DCU or should I just wipe everything and reinstall DCU...
Thanks in advanced!
do a data wipe, clear cache and dalvick
Then restore your backup. Clockwork does not seem to like certain roms.

thanks, i was able to wipe everything from the original android recovery mode and upload an old nandroid back up but from Clockwork it didnt seem to clear the dalvik cache, when i clicked clear it just went back to the last menu it never said anything in the log and when i loaded up the Clockwork backup it still didnt work :/
I had Skyraider 3.0 RC2 installed, I put a Rosie theme on but didn't like it. Luckily I had just done a nandroid backup before I installed the theme so I figured I would flash that....
I loaded into recovery and chose restore frome clockwork, I chose the most recent (today). It ran through the restore process but and said restore successful, at the end it had to things that didn't run something about sdcard something...
I rebooted the phone and it NEVER left the splash screen, I let it sit for over 30 mins before pulling the battery. I tried again with wiping memory and cache still no luck.
I did get it fixed by putting a ROM zip on my SDcard and flashing that, but why did the nandroid restore not work?
Hello
i have a boot loop after restoring a backup, because after installing 'gapps' to the Cyanogenmod 7, it didn't work anymore
So i went into the Recovery mode to restore the backup.
But after restoring is the splash screen in a booting loop.
What can i do now?
There isn't another backup on my sd card
Is it possible to install another Rom directly from the recovery menu?

I had problems with bootloops after restoring nandroid backup - I restored all but part of it in advanced and it worked...

brandall, thankyou, I was in a nandroid-restore-boot-loop and your tip about not restoreing 'boot' saved me too (messinga around with my brothers Desire and I don't want him kicking my ass becaused of needing an unwanted full wipe)
but it's strange that an nandroid of a fully working installation fails when restored :S (had the same HBOOT when backup and restore, and the restore was made 15 minutes after creation :S )
Go into recovery, wipe everything and restore backup.

Yes we both did that, but somehow the backup went broken.
I tried wipeing EVERYTHING and restore backup maybe 5 times, but boot loop every time.
So the solution was to wipe and do an advanced restore were you restored ext, system, data and cache.
But NOT restore Boot!

Just happened to me, not restoring boot finally got me out of the bootloop, thank god. Thanks for that tip
Hi all,
Would really appreciate your help! I'm a nOOb and may have bricked my phone. I rooted and installed a LeeDroid Froyo Rom last year, updated this recently to LeeDrOiD V3.0.2 GB. I got brave today and attempted to change this to RCMix S v1.3 (Sense 2.1+3.0mix) but now my phone is stuck on the HTC Bootscreen.
The process I followed was the same as when installing LeeDroids ROMs:
I backed up my apps
Re-partioned my SD card - 512md using ROM Manager
Used ROM Manager to boot to recovery
Factory re-set
Re-installed ROM Manager
Copied the new ROM zip file to the SD Card
Used ROM Manager to boot to recovery
Installed the new ROM which installed correctly ("Congrats, successful installation, re-boot and enjoy ..." or similar word to that effect)
Re-booted
But now it's frozen on a permanent HTC logo bootscreen.
I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer, or a link to the solution if there is one that may have been requested and solved before, I've spent an age searching the forums but can not find a solution.
Thanks in advance,
Karl
sounds like you didnt wipe the dalvik cache.
I would drop the battery out, replace and boot into recover, wipe data factory reset, wipe dalvik and go for another install.
Can you confirm if you did the above?
edit: oh and i dont know if its made a differance but when i install a new rom, i transfer to the SD card then, wipedata, wipe cache and then install as opposed to booting the phone after wiping data
Before flashing you always have to do a full wipe.
Your systemdata and apps can backed up by Titanium Backup. The backup don't get deleted by the wipe. After flashing the new rom (and eventually re-downloading/re-installing Titanium Backup you can restore all systemdata and apps by "Menu>Batch>Restore missing systemdata and apps".
First tip for the future: Always make a complete nandroid before every flash. If there are problems with your new system, you a running system anyway.
Second: When go from sense-rom to a non-sense-rom (or reversed), you must not restore system data, only the apps. Otherwise there can be heavy problems with your system.

Cheers Vis-tec,
Yeah, it was the dalvik cache, I did exactly what you suggested and it worked perfectly. Never heard of dalvik cache before but wiping it did the job.
Thanks again,

Thanks MatDroid,
Good tip about the system data when moving between sense and non-sense roms - I would have found that out the hard way for sure!
I know nothing about nandroid so I'll start reading up on it!
Thanks again,
Karl

Another good tip, I assumed that the wipe would delete the back-up, or to be more precise, I was unsure where it backed up the data/apps to. So I uploaded to Dropbox using the Dropbox feature in Titanium Backup ... this takes an age so it's good to know that the backup doesn't get deleted by the wipe for future rom changes!
Thanks again,

Try using RaRecovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839621
It's the recommended recovery for RCMix S. I got stuck in splash because of CWM.
Guyz,
I was playing with some ICS roms yesterday and then i decided to restore my backup-ed Black Notes (gingerbread) based rom. I was then getting md5 mismatch error during restore via CWM, so after research on this forum i replaced nandroid.md5 file with a clean one on the backup folder and restored again. Restore went fine, but when the phone boots it takes some time, then enters the state where u setup your google account etc. (when it shouldnt since its a restore) and finally when it enters the rom i get "process has stopped unexpectedly" on almost any app i have downloaded. What is wrong? Before restore i always wipe data/cache/dalvik and format/system. Should i fix permissions too? I dont have any similar problems restoring the 4 different ICS rom backups on my external SD card.
Thx in advance
Try to fix permissions. If it doesn't work try to flash a clean ROM, you may have a corrupt backup.
fixing perms didnt work.. guess ill have to flash clean rom and build it from the beginning.. :/
