Nandroid restore error - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

CLOSED

For one thing, you didn't backup the system.img... aka the most important part of a nandroid.

It looks like it didnt recognize the MD5sum(the code givin to the nandroid package)did you change recoveries or turn off the phone before it was done backing up?

Im looking in the folder.... Its there.
Is it a bad thing that I renamed it?
EDIT: renamed the nandroid, not system.img

I think it is bad, cause when I did that, it said the same thing

You can't rename the whole nand,you can add to the end after an underscore.You corrupted the backup.

Alright, thanks for the help anyways.

Any reason you killed the first post? Other people may have the same issue and could have read about it in this thread instead of posting a new one. Lots of people are comfortable reading but not posting...

It was due to the nandroid being corrupted.
For those asking, Do not rename a nandroid unless you add an underscore to the end and only add up to 4 characters to the end. Otherwise your recovery can't restore it.

Yes... and? Where do you think the phone got it from in the first place? It's in the ROM you applied to the phone, which you already have.

boot into bootloader not recovery. It wills earch for pc36img then it will ask if you want to apply update. volume up means yes. apply and reboot. It may reboot while applying let it go until everything says "ok"

I don't thing anybody's gonna go for that. You'll have a lot of their info if they do that. You're probably gonna have to find an ruu and go stock, then root and make another backup. Besides nandroids are for girls and scared boys j/k

You should rather let us know which file you're missing so that someone may upload that for you. Like wikdNoob said, a Nandroid's got way too many personal files unless someone had made one at stock without even adding a Google account (next to impossible). Moreover, it's freaking huge and uploading would be hell of a pain. So again, which file?
well since i'm a scared girl i have my nandroid, i can upload it for you, but ofc only system, boot and recovery partitions... will post link whenever i upload it

[Q] "urgent" Restore IMEI method?

Hello,
I bought a broken screen T989 from ebay. I needed the motherboard from the device. However, upon receiving device, i swapped motherboards no problem. However, i have an "Unknown" imei and baseband number.
I know there is a way to restore the IMEI from scratch on my galaxy S III (T999) but i am not sure if that method will work on the SII (Also quite afraid to as it most likely may brick it)
Does anyone know the manual method for restoring it?
Also, google lead to a bunch of promissing looking threads about the I9100 (International version) but from what i have read the T989 uses a different partition for the EFS stuff.
Thanks everyone!!
Do you know the imei number by any chance?
Don't type it btw just answer yes or no lol

I got my T-989 fixed about 30 minutes after posting my question to you. I'm just not sure which one of the steps I took was the actual bullet. But I'll post what I did here in the same order.
1. Downloaded and put onto the phone's sd card these files for future flashing back to back. They are. the "efsfix.zip" file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611796. Also, this rom which comes with it's own modem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818305. That's it. Now maybe the trick is in the steps though?
So what I did was boot into clockworkmod recovery "latest one for this phone." Used the factory reset option. Next went to mount the phone to usb option so I could access the internal memory card's files and deleted them all. I had a suspicion that maybe there's something corrupt in the data files or whatever. Really this might be silly but whatever, I did it. I still had my 2 files from before on the external sd card so no worries. Next I unmounted and disconnected from the pc. Then cleared cache again, then cleared dalvic again (I do these two steps a lot when flashing stuff back to back). Then flashed the efsfix.zip. Then clear cach, dalvic again. Then flashed the rom shown above which installed everything in one swoop like kernel, modem, system files, ect. After that finished I cleared cache, dalvic one last time. Then let it reboot.
So, it boots normally but upon the first "What is your name" screen it loads with a funky keyboard. It's a lol factor. Apparently a goof of the rom that happens sometimes. Just skip it all or figure out how to choose the T9 by using the menu key. Anyway, after changing my keyboard from inside the working settings menu to the samsung one I realized that I was so distracted by the keyboard issue that I I was just now noticing that I had a working baseband and it was connected to the network (T-Mobile) again as usual. Problem solved. Now as a last precautionary step I reboot into recovery (clockwordmod) again and use the option to backup efs folder to external sd card just for good measure. Then finally make nandroid backup of the whole working rom as well. You could probably flash any rom you want after this though. Anyway, something in there made it work so I hope it might work for you too.

Need Stock Rom

I had a backup of stock before root but when i tried to back up to it today it gave me a md5 mismatch so i couldnt back up to it. From what I seen in beaups thread that I need to be on a stock rom and stock kernal for his s-off method to work. Is there a stock rom that I could flash to use the s-off method?
I'd like this answered as well. I think andy's stock rom near the bottom of the page works, but I haven't had a confirmation yet. Also wondering if odex versus deodexed versions matter.
Same boat im in just waiting for somebody to say which one we can use when we are already rooted and unlocked. I dont know how my md5's mismatched on my stock before root backup but I can't go back to it so Im kinda stuck here until we get a answer.

Just heard andy's bonestock works trying it myself to confirm.
EDIT: Downloading the 1.1 download not the newest. Under old downloads. I would think the more stock the better.

Just tried v1.0a..... No dice.
I'd test 1.1 but for some reason it won't let me copy the zip over to my phone... Keeps saying the device has stopped working or has been disconnected. Tried many different USB ports.... Going to have to bluetooth it which is going to take even more time...

YOU ARE WARNED.
IIRC: If you have an md5 mismatch while trying to restore in a recovery, try this process:
IF YOU HAVE A BACKUP I HIGHLY SUGGEST STORING THE BACKUP FILE ON YOUR DESKTOP JUST IN CASE!!!!
Boot into whatever ROM you're on ATM.
Browse to your ClockworkMod (or TWRP backup must have an accessible folder for it's backups) using a Root file explorer, which I happen to use "Root Explorer" and open the backup file you just made.
Inside of that will be a nandroid.md5.
Delete that file and reboot into recovery, and try restoring again.

If using CWM, they will be under the /data/clockworkmod/backup directory, not /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup.

Ok i found it it was under /data/media/clockworkmod/backup but i dont see any files inside of that that are a md5 file im going to look in the data.ext4.tar file and the system.ext4.tar.a. Does any of those ring a bell? i see the boot.img, data.ext4.tar.a, recovery.img, system.ext4.tar.a, and system.ext4.tar.b. Thats all the files inside the backup i made before i rooted.
