Twice in the last two days my phone has locked up in the middle of a nandroid backup: once when started through ROM Manager, and once when started in Recovery.
I've had the phone since Launch Week (about a year ago, now!). Never happened before. I pulled the battery, booted into recovery, and started the process over. Both times it worked just fine after that.
Anybody else seeing this?
Not seeing that. I got mine on launch day too. Got ample space on the SD?

My last nandroid just hung at making md5 sum for 3 minutes. How long should it take on a sebse rom?
I propose a toast to the 21st century.

Okay. Will try again. My defy never ever took that long to md5.

I just let it go for 5-10 mins and got nothing....

Third times a charm

It shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes.
Mine takes about 3 to 5 minutes as well. May be a function of the number of apps as well as the size of the SD card.

It can take longer than that. DO NOT UNPLUG or stop the process.

Y does it take that long? I just did my friends s4g and it took like 10 minutes

Not sure.. It's quick for some, and can take over an hour for others, from my experience at least. I got impatient once and unplugged and got stuck in the "problem installing firmware " screen and had to Odin back to stock.

it can vary, i used this set of instructions and it took me about 15 minutes from start to finish...

i found out why. it depends on the .tar files. i tried 4 different ones from different webites and the last one i use went through in less then 5 minutes....maybe even 3
It's tough to find a good clean file now since mega-upload server disappeared...
THIS HAS BEEN VERIFIED BY ME, AND JOKERSAX HAS TOLD ME ABOUT TWO OTHER DEVS WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR RESULTS
This is a public service announcement saying that if you leave recovery (I left TWRP on overnight while restoring a nandroid) on too long, under certain circumstances not yet completely determined may lead your device to a hard brick. This has happened to 3 people so far, and want to avoid anymore issues with this.
For more details on what happened I was flashing a V5 test build of my rom im working on adding aroma too where I got another syntax error to fix. It was about 11:30 at night, so I just started restoring from a nandroid, threw the phone upside down, and knocked out. When I woke up the next morning I checked the device and it was off in recharge mode- nothing too big. I then tried to boot and it ended up flashing the notification light and softkeys repeatedly, and did nothing else. I was able to get it into download mode, but LGNPST kept timing out. Then after trying several times with it timing out it wouldnt get into download mode. I then tried to just get anything to light up, and left it on the charger for several hours, and then gave up that my device was hard bricked. No data remained. I had to go to best buy and wait about an hour and a half for them to get me a new device. I hope everyone can avoid this happening to their device. It is a slow, but sure death reported by a few people.
And to think I left my phone in recovery. for about 2 hours =x scared to even boot to recovery now

If youre phone boots it will be fine. I left it for about 8 hours or so.
You should make this a sticky
Ya i was taking my time with the aroma installer and noticed my phone heat up real quick! Had to turn my phone off after the rom booted. Close call!

This must be what happened to my first LGOG, I feel asleep running a backup. When I woke up it wouldn't boot. Thank goodness for Geek Squad coverage.
Does anyone know if this problem exists with clockwork too? I already fried a phone just making a simple backup using TWRP.
I'm using CWM now and made a backup and flashed a rom and my phone survived.

Every time I use aroma my phone gets scorching hot. If I recall my GS3 did the same thing with aroma.

My phone also gets really got while in recovery mine also overheated exactly like the OP but mine came back to life I left it alone for a few hours then put it on the charger and finally got into download mode then recovery and restore. We definitely need to do something like timeout where after 10 minute the phone shuts off or something. Not sure it is possible but I like ranting lol

Thanks for the info! I used to leave backups running overnight all the time with my previous devices. Good thing I haven't with this one.

Only thing that could heat up the phone like that is the cpu core running at max.or spiking to max very very rapidly. Basically the soc with all the chipsests are not going into a sleep mode. I can see why all the data was gone and or damaged. I've seen something like this with other electronics.

I have not left recovery on long enough to experience noticeable overheating myself. I wish I knew how to fix the recovery myself though. Also as for making this a sticky (I read half the posts through email, and might have got this thread mixed up) mods are kinda inactive, so it will be hard for us to do.

If I am in recovery for 5 seconds, my device heats up really bad. But it is the only time it heats up.

I have heat up while playing games or streaming music, or leaving it at the lockscreen too long. Maybe undervolting it can fix it? IDR if joker's test kernel added it or not.
Happened to me to. But mine was adb push file to sdcard and lost power due to usb low charge and recovery turning phone into a glass top stove

Mine overheats after playing Beach Buggy Blitz for five minutes, in recovery. Too often really :/
These are reasons I always finish what I'm working on before I sleep! It drives my girlfriend nuts ha ha. But yes, the phone does get hot rapidly in recovery hotter than I have ever gotten it running any game or app

well TWRP 4.2 is out now, maybe itll fix our little problem.
My phone seems to take a while backing everything up. Like 10 minutes is the slowest it will take, I've tried CWM and now TWRP. I'm wondering if this is an issue with other phones.
I don't think its an "issue" those backups are 3.5gigs.

It didn't even take two minutes on my Nexus 4, that's why I am asking.

Ur talking about a phone that's far away from this phones capacity, this phone is revolutionary and advanced compared to Ur nexus... Nd yes it takes a long time to back up things also that depends one how many apps take out of Ur memory nd Ur settings as well.. Personally I find twrp to be the fastest to back things up... My backs ups size is 2.5 gb and on cwm takes like 5-6 mins while on twrp takes less than 3 mins so the more stuff you have on Ur phone the longer it's gonna take it to back it up... Hope I helped
