When you create a nandroid backup, I suggest doing the following, if you aren't:
1. Wipe Cache & Dalvik
2. Create the nandroid using the default settings as well as android.secure
3. Reboot to your homescreen, but know that the initial boot will take some time.
When restoring the backup, I suggest doing the following. NO, it is NOT necessary to wipe before restoring, but I do anyway.
1. Wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card.
2. Restore the backup
3. Reboot to your homescreen.
If you've renamed the FOLDER that the nandroid backups are stored in, you will NOT be able to restore until you revert to the Original Name.
If you've renamed the backups themselves, make sure you DO NOT use special characters in the name or your restore will fail.

I've been using nandroid back up for a while now but I just started having this issue .
It won't even boot tho it stays on the white htc evo screen
I have even tried flashing the rom on top of the back up but it doesn't work .
The only way I can flash a rom is by starting fresh

What I noticed is that I can restore older back ups but any recent back ups wont restore

Seems like they may be corrupted, or incomplete.

Did you recently partition your sd card for some of the new ROMs? Not backing "sdext" up and not wiping that before restores could be causing your problems

When you make your backups, it usually has data, boot, and system checked by default... to backup your partitions, also checkmark the box next to 'sdext" ... and to wipe your sdext, from the wipe menu, scroll down to sdext and wipe it. Just be sure you don't chose sdcard
You'll notice your backups with the sdext also backed up will have a slightly different name... old ones started with BDS... which is "B"oot, "D"ata, and "S"ystem... backups with the sdext added in will start with BDES, can you guess what the "E" is?

[Q] So...ICS issue.

So recently I've been trying to flash the CM9 nightlies and all attempts have led to boot-loops. I was wondering if it was just a bad download so I tried to install AOKP and got the same results...so then I tried the new Paranoid Android rom and still got boot-loops. So is my phone like rejecting 4.0? somebody please help me out with this!

I've had this problem before. What I had to do to fix it was flash another recovery. You can also try fixing permissions in CWM.

Thanks pure! I'm trying the method of fixing permissions first and if that's unsuccessful I'll try another recovery.

I'm still having issues. I've tried the permission fix and different recovery and still nothing.

You tried a new recovery as in you went from:
-CWM to Amon Ra?
OR
-CWM 5.0.0.x to CWM 3.0.0.8?
If you only did option 1, have you tried reflashing CWM in hboot?
If you only did option 2, try option 1 then. If that fails, try going into a saved nandroid, open Rom Manager, and select a different version of CWM. Make sure that you go onto settings and check "Erase Recovery."

I went from CWM to Amon.

So I've still had no luck getting anything to run but my current. I've done all three things mentioned and still absolutely nothing. I cleaned out my SD yesterday and pretty much got rid of a lot of useless stuff, could that have effected anything?

You probably are but i gotta ask, are you wiping everything before flashing? Meaning formating everything in the mounts and storrage menu in cwm except emmc and sd.

Yes I was, this pretty much goes with the whole reason I wanted s-on. I had this theory that if I returned to complete stock and re-rooted my phone that I could flash properly again, and I was correct.

Here's a trick to ENSURE installation.
Make sure u back up ur apps on titanium.
1. Wipe user data 2x
2. Wipe cache partition 2x
3. Wipe Dalvick Cache 3x
4. Format boot 2x
5. Format system 2x
6. Format datadata 2x
7. Format data 2x
8. Format cache 2x
9. Flash the Rom.
10. Boot up and enjoy ICS.
This is what I do to make sure it is done. I dont trust manual installation.
Do this every time.

Aha well thanks on the help but I already got everything working again. May I ask why you wipe everything so much? It doesn't really make a difference.

There is also an option if you go to the bottom of "Storage". There u can wipe the your SDcard.

Wipe everything !

Go to 'WIPE' and select 'FACTORY RESET' then wipe 'CACHE' and 'DALVIK CACHE' then reboot and start your ROM from scratch.

How to backup/restore IMEI?

I flashed ParanoidAndroid recently on my d2att and everything worked perfectly, except for the fact that it wouldn't recognize my SIM card. Fortunately, I was able to go back to CyanogenMod from the NANDROID backup I had made. I later found out the reason my SIM wasn't recognized was because my IMEI was wiped in the process... is there any easy way to backup/restore it or prevent this from happening next time?

Well, I'm not really sure, lol. Like I said, I haven't had to use it yet. Just figured having a couple extra copies of it couldn't hurt. I'll have to do some more research...

Did you ever end up recovering your imei?
Also when you switched from cyanogenmod to paranoid android, did you clean wipe? (wipe data,cache,dalvik cache AND wipe system?)

No idea. It was in the instructions for clean flashing in some ROM thread and I've always formatted system ever since just to be on the safe side.
Also I've found these two links. Hopefully they're of help to you.
