This is my first ever post on this awesome website. I have an Xperia play which i just modded(after Sony cancelled ICS).
I installed Cyanogen Mod 7.2 three days ago. After that I backed it up using the clockwork mod backup.
Then I installed ICS beta and later the cyanogen mod 9. I couldn't get the camera to work and videos weren't streaming from websites(through the mobile player). So I decided to restore the CM7 backup I had made earlier. I backed up my current rom, cleared the cache and did factory reset(all in recovery) and then restored the CM7 mod. It was successfully restored but then my phone got stuck in the boot loop where I just see the starting screen of CM7 with the arrow revolving around the android. I had to take out the battery and then restore the CM9 again to get my phone to boot.
Where did I go wrong? Am I supposed to install CM7 again from zip file and then restore? Or is my backup corrupted?

did you flash a GB kernel? Restoring a nandroid doesn't restore the kernel.

Thank you for the swift reply. I didn't. I am really new at this so you'll have to pardon my ignorance. Will i have to flash the GB kernel with fastboot? Where can I get this kernel and is there a particular version I have to use? Thanks again.

Hi All,
Been lurking / reading this forum for a while now, and I appreciate all the help and knowledge received from reading various threads. When I saw the CM7.0.0 final this morning, I got excited and wanted to give it ago.
Previously I was running CM6.1, and had just done a full Titanium backup a day or 2 ago – so everything should be backed up. Also, before installing CM7, I made sure to do a nandroid backup in Rom Manager.
I'm running the newest version of RM, along with clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.8.
I downloaded and installed the Dinc CM7 Final; it booted up fairly quickly and such, and was working fine. I then decided I wanted to restore my previous CM6.1 installation (which I backed up just before installing CM7), and upon doing so through RM, it gets stuck in a loop of the CM6 boot animation – just keeps on playing it over and over again.
I then booted into recovery and wiped everything, data, cache, userdata, davlik cache, system, etc. After wiping, I chose to restore my backup (still in recovery). It said it successfully restored the backup, however I’m still stuck in the exact same bootloop as before.
I’m stumped now… not sure where to go from here. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
-Dirk
EDIT: Ok, I've managed to wipe and re-install CM7. Not sure why my nandroid backup of CM6.1 won't work / bootloops. Any suggestions still appreciated!

I have the same problem.
I use 3.0.0.5 of CWM though.
I installed NSCollab 1.1.18 and wanted to go back to the backup I did previously.
Now my phone goes into endless boot loops.
When the lockscreen comes up it stays there for 2-3 seconds then it reboots into the screen animation.
i have noticed though that the Google Framework FC, then off course Gmail etc., and them the phone reboots.
What can I do to boot again?
Hello,
I just got back my desire from repair and have rooted it again using unrevoked, my main rom i flashed was cyanogen 7, i made a backup and then i thought i would s-off and update to clockwork recovery 3....everything was successful.
But when i try out other roms then decide to restore my nandroid back up of cyanogen 7 messeges pop up quickly saying all the apps and stuff have stopped unexpectedly and then the phone reboots again and again.
Can some one help please.
Cheers.
Just do a full wipe and fresh install then backup again.

Hi,
I have done this 3 times and the nandroid backup still reboots, only way to fix it is to install cyanogen on top of it and it fixes it.
I think i will need to try with a sense rom and see if it happens too.
Thanks.
Your tryings to restore the same backup? I said wipe, install fresh then backup that rom, not restore the old one.

And if you did some fancy formatting to your SD card. Well, Might think about that also....

I have deleted the old backup and made new one's each time after a full wipe, the card is formatted correctly and working fine, i have only had this problem after i updated clockwork mod and s-off.
My phone is in for service right now and should have a replacement in a couple of hours.
I have been installing roms for quite a while and have ultimately landed on CM9 but I have a very basic question.
When I get my new phone can I just install Clockworkmod and then restore from my nandroid backup of CM9 or must I install Clockworkmod, G Apps, flash nandroid backup, update CM9.
I have always done it the second way but I don't believe it is necessary.
Thanks
You will have to install CM 9 then you can restore from NAN. You got to convert to MTD for it to work.
Sorry its long but i want all the info out there might help with a answer. Last night I went step by step install cm10 nightly. Did the cwm update through rom manager as instruction said to cwm 6.0.2.3 (non touch) did a nandroid of my stock rooted setup. Then did all the wipes and clears all of them. Installed cm 10 let it boot then installed gapps let it boot and settle. I liked it but seamed like something was not right speed wise. Quadrent showed it had dropped to around 3500 where I was getting around 5600 on stock rooted. Went to nandroid back and it could not find back up. Nothing at all showed on internal card through cwm. But when hooked to pc everything was there. So I copied the backup to pc and to ext. Sd card. Cwm found the backup on ext.but said missing something so didnt work. So I nandroid the cm10 I was running checked restore and it worked to nandroid cm10. So I hooked to computer went to backup file and replaced the files with files from my stock rooted I had saved to pc. Cwm restored it perfect back to stock rooted after doing that. Now before I check out other roms could something be wrong with my cwm causing the nandroid problem and also why such low scores on cm 10?

Quadrant score means absolutely nothing, don't base yourself on them.
You can change your kernel settings (governor, scheduler) to get a better performance if the current one don't work well with your phone.
I'm not sure why your nandroid wasn't working but I expect it's cause it was made without the cwm recovery.

as has been said, quadrant is a joke. if you have an sd card, next time you make a backup in recovery, select "backup to external sd". that will save your nandroid to a location that will remain untouched during your wipes.

My nandroid was made with cwm the same one I used to flash cm10.

Use TWRP ? I prefer how it stores nandroids....although I had the same issue as you with TWRP where it was there when I explored with PC but TWRP could find it. I had to move folder around in windows and put them back into the correct folders. Then created a nandroid on ext card and only moved it when I needed to flash it.

You can only have one recovery installed as it saves it as recovery.img. If you install a new one the old one is written over. This has always been my experience. You can install the new recovery in Goo Manager like you do with CWM in Rom Manager.
So I made a back up of my rom, and then flashed cyanogen mod 10.2 stable. It didn't boot up so I tried to restore the backup I made of my stock rom, and now I can't find it.
Depends what ROM you had and what you have done in between flash, like wipe, format and stuff.

Almost same problem here
I used CWM touch to make a backup of my stock rom.. I copied it to my pc and after i installed CM 10.2 last nightly.. After i wanted to go back to stock and i copied backup to phone.. but i could not install it.
You must use the same CWM to restore. TWRP and CWM/PHILZ don't get along very well. If you made a backup with CWM, you must restore it from CWM.
