Hi,
Im currently running CM7 with CustomMTD partitions 150.40.
It was running perfectly till today morning.
I just wanted to hav a nandroid backup so i booted into recovery and performed a nandroid backup asusual it got hanged while backing up system around upto 30mins.
So, i powered it off by removing battery and started to boot normally and it got hanged at htc white screen.
Please guys solve my problem.
EDIT: Forgot it mention that when i boot into recovery its showing the following statements
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Try flashing the Custom MTD boot attachment before rebooting. If it doesn't work, then try reflashing the ROM again (without wiping - so you don't lose data), then flash the boot attachment and try again.
I jus flashed boot and system images from an old nandroid backup of the same ROM and it booted but data and apps are missing...
I tried what you hav said but thats not working.. So, i did the above steps.
I think that error means it can't read the last log written, its probably because your cache is full when you boot into recovery. Where is your dalvik cache?
I used to get the error all the time when I had a 5mb cache. Never caused a problem though.
Have you tried a different version of cement?????
Edit: cement???? Bloody predictive text at 7am!! I meant cwm.

my cache partion is of 40MB as i used CustomMTD and around 38.1MB is still free in that partition.

I have the predictive cement problem too scratch!!! Lol
I've been having problems trying to flash radio for GPS fix,so I redid mtd to stock 250 40 then through rom manager 2.5.0.7 temp I flashed radio and rebooted let everything load/settle then changed mtd back to desired amount( 145 15 ) load/settle again then did nandroid backup. I now got newer radio back with working GPS and mtd.
My point here is try resetting mtd to stock then load it all up and then try nandroid. After which just redo mtd again and restore nandroid with new settings.
P.s you don't need to use the rom manager temp method as your only restoring a backup.

Ok, I just finished formatting one of my memory cards and installed a new rom. It booted fine. I went back into recovery to wipe the cache and dalvik and when I go to reboot it stays stuck at the white HTC screen. This has happened with multiple roms. After that I went back into recovery to try to reflash the rom and this is when the errors from last night come back:
Gets all the way to formatting cache, then system, then copying files....
E:Failure at line 6:
Copy_dir Package: data DATA:
Installation aborted.
This is the problem I've been running into before I formatted the card. This is a brand new Evo, with the 2.02 boot, version 4.
If I wipe data
What does this sound like? Something go bad in the rooting process? Maybe something to do with Amon recovery? Maybe try clockwork or what?
I rebooted into recovery and wiped all 3 then went to install the rom on the card and it installed this time. I don't remember my last phone working anything like this at all... not sure what gives.

Ive seen this also with a new phone that has the older hBoot, just without the errors. Couldn't get it to take a custom ROM but you could flash kernels with no problem.
Have you tried running the RUU and then reflashing the recovery?

I think it might be something with the recovery, because I tried to flash Clockwork via rom manager and it said it took, but Amon is still there. I'm going to flash the pc36 ruu that was originally used to see if it has any affect.
Solved.. thanks for the help
I am getting the exact same situtation going on. I hope I didnt break my phone. I really LOVE this damn thing. hahah Please help. What are the steps I need to do to get my phone working again.
Help!
I have a rooted Evo that I had MikG 3.11 on. I was in the process of flashing a new Rom: Energy_3.15.2012.Sensation.Sense.3.6_ICS.zip when just a short way into it, it rebooted back to recovery.
I'm using RA-supersonic-v2.3 for recovery.
To begin the flashing process, I:
Wipe CACHE
Wipe DALVIK-CACHE
Wipe BOOT
Wipe SDCARD:.android_secure
Wipe SDEXT
Honestly, I can't recall whether I also wiped SYSTEM or not and am wondering if I did and that created my problem?
The last thing I did was Wipe ALL userdata/factory reset.
Then I attempted to flash the new rom.
After the flash failed, I wiped All userdata/factory reset again and tried the flash the rom again. Of course, it failed again.
Then I tried to restore my nand backup of MikG3.11 and it did the exact same thing. It showed about 2 dots of the restore process and then rebooted again.
I have no idea what I did wrong or what I should do next.
While waiting for one of the experts here on XDA to help, I'm going to pull my sdcard and back it up.
Please help! Thanks.
I had an old nand of Myns rom from last May and it restored just fine. Wheh!
Now I'm trying to Wipe all and restore my current MikG nand and am getting an error when formatting SDEXT
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(Invalid argument)
Error mounting /sd-ext/!
Skipping format...
Any ideas what would be causing this?
I mounted SD-EXT and then wiped it and that seemed to do the trick. I was able to nand back to MikG.
I have no ideas what may have happened or why the phone was behaving like it was. I've never seen that before.
Before attempting to flash Energy rom again, I'll redownload it I guess.

I'm not sure why you think flashing that Energy ROM is a good idea. It's for the Sensation. I think you missed that in the title. The EVO doesn't have an ICS Sense ROM available.
Just be happy you didn't brick your phone trying to flash a ROM for an incorrect device on it. That's what messed up your partitions/mount points.
Hi,
After accidentally installing D2W over A2SD, I tried to revert to my nandroid. Wouldn't boot. Tried advance restoring over a clean A2SD flash, and it seems
it's the data file that's causing it to get stuck on the HTC screen - I restored just that and it failed to boot.
I'm guessing CWM didn't backup properly (although the MD5 seems to check out fine). Does that mean I've basically lost all my data? Is there a way to salvage anything? Can I extract any data manually?
Wiped everything (except FAT32-partition of SD card) before restoring backup? How long did you wait for booting?
Yup, full wipe. Waiting about 7 mins on the HTC screen after nandroid. Usually takes 1 min to get to the boot screen. Full wiped again, install clean ROM (MIUI), booted fine. I didn't know that CWM could make faulty backups
Just use the best recovery one can currently get:
4EXT Recovery Touch (see my sig).
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
Thanks, I'll do that now. Haven't upgraded my recovery since the first unrevoked came out..
Though so far the 4ext app keeps failing to flash the recovery.. even after rebooting / reinstalling busybox
Are you S-OFF?
I'm sorry if this has already been covered but I couldn't find anything exactly like my problem..I am running an EVO on mikG with a partitioned SD and a2sd with amonRA recovery.. the other day things started acting funny so I cleared the cache and dalvik and when I rebooted it looked like a factory reset of my phone or like my SD-ext wasn't there anymore.. I tried to do a nandroid restore and it just says oops something went wrong.. can anyone tell me if I have to do anything special to restore with an ext3 or not? When I backed it up I backed up all the available options.. ???????????
OK don't panic what I did (and there is no guarantee) is flash the ROM again, reboot completely, boot back into recovery and then re-apply your back up. it worked for me on MIUI but like I said no guarantees
best of luck.
Actually, flash recovery again. I've had that happen a few times and reflashing recovery worked everytime
Ok.. I upgraded from RA 2.3 to 3.11.. and now I had the options to choose what to restore.. its the sd-ext that is hanging everything up.. if I just check whatever is standard it restores but all of my apps are still gone.. so I went back and added sd-ext and got the error.. then I tried only marking sd-ext and still nothing.. what do I troubleshoot next???
Long story short, I've spend the better part of 2 days trying to get my phone to working order.
I tried to flash the stock 4.0.4 rom into my phone. After I did that, the radio stopped working so i wanted to go back to my previous All-star-v7 rom that i had backup in the external sdcard.
When I was installing 4.0.4 i had to switch from CWM to TWRP to get it to install. I switched back to CWM using ODIN but now when i try to wipe the phone so i can restore a backup, it hangs up on wiping /cache and if i try to restore it hangs up on restoring cache....
What do i do? I had used the infamous super wipe and cache wipe to get the phone into 4.0.4 I think i messed up something because of using those...
update: Strangely, I can restore a backup of 2.3.6 and even though it hangs on restoring /cache. I restart the phone and it boots up to it. I also find that google play is unable to update any of my apps, it looks like it's because of the corrupted /cache. how would i fix it?
update2: i used odin to flash into TWRP 2.6.3.1 and did a cache wipe and it's stuck at "unable to open '/cache/recovery/.version'. anyone know how to fix that?
