Hi all!!
I have been loving my phone after rooting and installing Insertcoin....
I only had a 4gb sd card and I wanted to have 8gb, so after reading instructions, I started to do a Nandroid back-up on my phone with old card inserted. I obviously did a nandroid before installing Insertcoin and it worked just fine. This time, it just keeps stopping at the data back up process.
Not sure what to do now???
Can anyone give me any help please?
Thank You

do you have enough space on the sd card for a nandroid backup.
i ask because 4gb isn't that much, don't know if it's already partitioned? then if you also have other data on there (photos/music) then there simply may not be enough space to hold a nandroid backup.
try moving non-essential stuff off the card then try again.
if there's clearly loads of space left, ignore me, it's just a thought
Hey! Thanks for reply. Yes, I had thought of that and have about 250mb available after deleting and moving bits. Does that sound enough?? This is exactly why I have bought a bigger card!!

i need a lot more than 250MB, but that's because i have a stupid number of apps (should really delete some). It all depends on how many you have installed.
if you have any old nandroid backups on the sd card move them to your PC for safe keeping, can always be restored later. you can also then check how big that folder is to get an idea of how big your nandroid backup is.
so in summary, free up some more space, close to 1GB spare to be extra safe, you can always move stuff back later to your bigger card.
if it still doesnt work then we know it's not a space issue.
Oh, thanks for that. Good idea about moving old backup to PC. Will do that this afternoon and try again.
Thank You
Usually my backups are close to 900 mb when I have about 12-15 apps installed
My backups when default are typically close to 600mb. And that is after a fresh install, after restoring my apps it jumped to 1.2gb. So try to ensure you have at least 1GB on your sdcard before nandroid.
My backup is usually anywhere between 1gb and 1.4gb
Swyped from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
Hey all,
Well, I have fiddled about and copied bits from sd card and I have 1487mb space on my card and it is still stopping on backing up data.
This is driving me nuts!!
Any more ideas at all??
Thank you
How are you doing a backup? Through ROM manager or through recovery?
Hi!
Am doing nandroid back up through recovery.... I have clockwork mod!
If you can help I would be very grateful!

what exactly do you need help with? all there is too it to boot into recovery and then select backup& restore, backup.
you can either boot into recovery through ROM manager or you can power off, then hold volume down and power, and then use the volume keys to highlight RECOVERY and then press power to select.

Hello,
Yes I know that bit, and have tried but it backs up boot, recovery, system, then hangs on backing up data!!
I know it's frowned upon (can cause issues) but try using ROM Manager from the market, try it and report back what happens when you try to do a backup.

Right, I have downloaded Rom Manager, and it is asking me to install ClockworkMod Recovery first. havent I got that already?? If I re-install, is it going to remove or damage my existing recovery method?
Thanks
No, just go for it. It won't do any harm.

OMG, its worked!!!! Thanks sooo much!
Now, when the time comes and I put my new sd card in, how do I then restore using ROM manager? Do I go into the alpharev cwm recovery bit like before, i.e. volume button and power etc, then recovery and restore, or do I do something different?
Thank you very much

If I were you I wouldn't use ROM Manager for restoring. Just do it like you said, into recovery then restore.

Strange... Is it worth downloading the latest version of your rom again and reflashing it?
Or could there be a problem with your recovery image, maybe its worth reflashing that also?

Maybe you have an ext partition for your apps and/or data on your sd card which you do not backup?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Not sure if this is relevant but I bricked my Desire when I did a Nandroid of a recent Starburst rom. I can't remember which version now unfortunately but it offered data2sd. It's my understanding that performing the Nandroid backup was a bad mistake as the rom had moved vital parts of the phone system to the SD card and the Nandroid backup ignored that as it doesn't see it as a vital part to backup.
A subsequent reboot after doing the Nandroid resulted in the phone booting so far, rebooting, booting less far, rebooting and ultimately, SD card not recognised. Many hours spent learning Fastboot stuff fixed that, then I had a USB brick. Yet more hours ensued and eventually I fixed that too.
I've backed up and even transferred my current rom (Insert Coin CM7) to another SD card tonight with no issues at all but this isn't using data2sd. The speed gains on d2sd were great but I'm wary of using such a thing again as I'm pretty certain that that is how mine died after a Nandroid backup.

I used data2sd but that didn't work at all, starburst was slow as hell, i have to say i moved a lot of things to sd, not ext not only in android.secure, that could be the problem, but if i don't do that i don't have enough space on my internal

Still pretty new, my history is as such...rooted, installed Juggernaut 3.7, then flashed 2.3.6 wifi calling Rom a few weeks ago WITHOUT wiping. Now ready to flash Jugg 4.1 and it requires a "wipe". So I have a few questions so I better understand this and what I'm actually deleting.
-Is anything on my SD card at risk when wiping?
-First and foremost I want to make sure I don't lose any pics from my gallery, all are stored on my sd card. Contacts and calender are via google.
-Titanium Backup - what should I be backing up off this huge list of stuff?? Just the apps that I personally installed that I want to keep, like game saves? Or is this where I would save my memos?
-CWM - the backup from here is JUST for the ROM/operating system files?? I made backups of my original stock ROM and everything before I installed Jugg 3.7. Is there any reason I would want to or need to backup my current 2.3.6 Whitehawkx rom if all these ROM's are still available for download? Again, just trying to understand WHY we're doing all of this.
-Why do I show an SD card and an External SD card? Do I not just have the ONE sd card that I put in the phone??
Thanks for your help! I don't mind just following instructions, but it drives me nuts not to understand WHY I'm doing something. Or in some cases assuming I know and screwing something up!

When you open Titanium BackUp, click on Backup/Restore up on top.
Press the menu button.
Press Batch.
Press Run Backup all user apps. (do not backup system data, it might create problems when you switch/update roms)
Wait for it to finish.
(You can also backup "Wi-Fi Access Points" if you do not want to have to re-enter that info. I do not use bluetooth, but i think you could also save "Settings/Bluetooth...." and possibly "Bluetooth Pairings". They are all in Green text.)

This phone shows the 16gb internal storage as SD card and your actual sd card as the External SD card. You can place the Rom zip in either. You just need to remember which.

Restoring from the free version of Titanium. The batch operation keeps hanging up. It will install a few apps, then hang on one. Any trick?
Yeah, that occasionally happens. Do the batch restore but uncheck the app that hangs. When it is done, restore the lone app. Or restore the apps one at a time.

I think it was because the first app that restored was Zedge and I click OPEN after it installed, instead of DONE. I closed everything and restarted the backup process and just clicked DONE on everything it went smooth! Learning by doing!

Thanks. There are so many steps and things to do when rooting and flashing and wiping. All the developers do a pretty good job of telling you what steps to do, but terminology gets blurred for anyone not familiar and creates a lot unnecessary posts. Like the Nandroid backup...why isn't called a CWM backup!!?? That's the program that creates it!! Once you know you KNOW. But I think a really informative Q and A would help a lot more people get comfortable rooting and flashing their phones...which I think is what all dev's want...LOTS of downloads. Not to mention these phones are SO much more enjoyable and functional with root and custom roms.
Hi

No nandroid backup nor titanium backup.
When i try to install same app when i had before it says that will replace the app...
I have checked the sd_ext folder and all the apps are there , so one way would be to install them one by one from there but i am seeking for better method.
What stands for the android_secure folder?
That's why you should make a nand backup from time to time.
Please post something useful if you know how to help. This is useless for me
What was said to you is actually useful for you... just not in your current situation. So the next time you mess with your phone do a nand.
What you can do is reflash the rom from the original sd card WITHOUT wiping. Just put the rom zip on the original sd card and flash. That should reinitiate and detect your sd ext.
Of course I haven't tried this but given your situation this might just work. If it doesn't then you should have made a nand prior like what was said before.

THE GOLDEN RULE OF FLASHING - MAKE A NAND BACKUP PRIOR FLASHING AND PLAYING WITH YOUR PHONE!!!
Hello
I made a Nandroid Backup with 4Extrecovery. Then I flashed Sabsa Prime, but I forgot to make a backup of the bluetooth, wifi, and other data. Then, I was thinking maybe I could recover with an emulator, but I dont know if it is possible to do it.
How could I recover that info?
Thanks in advance

Easiest thing to do would probably be to make a nandroid of Sabsa Prime, restore the original nandroid, back up the data, restore Sabsa Prime, and restore the data.
I've also heard that Titanium Backup Pro can extract data from a nandroid. Never tried it myself.
I'm not sure what you mean by doing it from an emulator. Like, through ADB? I don't know of a way to do that.
The thing is that now, Sabsa goes perfect, battery wifi and all perfect, and I dont know if changing to the previus and then putting it again will work as fine as now.
With an emulator, I was thinkiing of a program for PC that can emulates the phone. Then I could install one app and recover the info, but in the PC. Then I would copy that info to the mobile again.

A nandroid backs up everything. It's basically an image of the hard drive partition, like a snapshot. So as long as the backup finishes correctly Sabsa will be exactly the same as what you have now.
I don't know anything about how you would use an emulator or which "one app" you would install.

wifi storea login info in /data/misc/wifi/wpa-supplocant.conf
you could restore that feom your nand backup, but not the whole file, because each rom has different config. i restore my wifi saved hotspots by manually copyong body of that file from new to old in text editor. you can try it, jist make sure to make a backip of current file and turn off wifi while you do it. much faster then the other option. im guessing you should be able to pull something similar with bluetooth...

When you navigate to "reboot" in recovery (instead of reboot recovery) what happens? And try full wiping and re-restoring.
I reboot, then it switchs on until HTC screen appears, for 2 seconds approximately. Then, it switches off and then switchs on again but it enters directly to the 4EXT recovery.
What I made was:
Wipes
Format all except sd card
Restore

I've been on my stock rooted rom since i rooted it last year and have not attempted to play with roms until recently. So yeah, I backed up all my apps and system data before I flashed omni rom and superSU for the d2att SGS3 i747. After flashing and setting phone back up, i realized that ALL my backups were completely gone from titanium backup. It said the backups were never made What did i do wrong?? Was there a step i missed in order for my backups to transfer over to new rom on the SGS3? Is there a special way to set up titanium backup for the SGS3?? Thank god i still have my nandroid backup in rom manager. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

In Titanium press menu button and select preferences. In the next menu select default back up location. You will have a button here that says 'detect'. If they exist on your phone or SD card this will find them. Have you searched in both sdcard/ and sdcard/0/? In the future you can set the default location to External SD which will save it incase of a need to full wipe. TiBu also does have a feature to restore from Nandroid.

I have never tried the Dropbox option, but in theory it should work. If it does work, it would be better to have it off device, and you should be able to schedule it to auto backup whenever you want.
