Folks, If I wish to restore from a backup taken using recovery after flashing a ROM, is it a simple case of booting it recovery, factory wipe, clear caches, then restore the backup I took prior to flashing ? I'm trying to back out from Revolution HD to get my original APN settings.
Thanks in advance.
there maybe a problem with kernel if u r trying to downgrade.

1) Extract boot.img from the backup on your SD card
2) Boot into Recovery and restore backup (no need to wipe).
3) Reboot straight into the bootloader and flash the boot.img file you extracted.
4) Reboot device.

need more info. how did you go about trying to do this? what steps did you? More info on what you did can help someone figure out where you went wrong. Did you create a nandroid backup before you flashed the ROM? what recovery are you using? Did you wipe data (factory reset), cache, and davlik cache prior to flashing the ROM? If you did make a back up, and can get to Recovery (volume down and power button, then select recovery) I would wipe all data, cache and davlik cache, then flash a nandroid backup. If you didn't make a nandroid backup, I would try wiping everything again, and try flashing the ROM a second time.

i was on Calkulin's_EViO_2_ROM_v1.8 and i rebooted to recovery to restore back to cm7 rc4 but it gives me error error while flashing image. so i try to wipe and reinstall another rom and works but it still stuck in htc logo.
Are you performing a full wipe, factory/data, cache, and dalvik?
yes i performing full wipe and everything im uisng clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.5. did those and install a rom but still stuck in logo screen and i cant restore i made few backup and none them work!?
Have you tried going into the bootloader, select clear storage [factory reset], then flash the rom? Also are you flashing a kernel?
im just flashing regular rom on using clockworkmod. ived done this flashing roms many times and never happen like this before.
Well at this point, it seems like your old backup may be corrupted. Make a new backup, and then try to restore it.
how i do backup when i already delet wipe already so i jsut need to install another rom and do backup and restore it?

Correct, make a backup of your current, flash a new rom, then try and restore.
ok i install Calkulin's_EViO_2_ROM_v1.8 agian backup and try restore but it gives me boot image error same thing.
i had a similar issue. my phone wouldnt even boot past the splash screen but i was able to correct that by flashing the stock evo ruu in hboot from my sd card then reflashing a custom rom over that. im not sure if you have to re-root but in my case i had to run unrevoked again. i had to reflash at least 4 times before my issue resolved but havent had any issues since
can you show me the steps and what i need?
1. Go into recovery, select backup, backup current rom
2. Wipe factory/data, cache, dalvik cache under advanced
3. Flash a new rom, let it boot up, go back to recovery, backup that rom
4. Restore previous backup just made
You can install the official RUU upddate from sprint then download the newest HTC SYNC to your computer then plug in the phone thru the usb and run the RUU file as if you are running an app. Remember this will delete everything includidn your root but you can easily re-root with unrevoked. Hope that helps? I had that problem on my incredible and I did this and it fixed it.

That's a separate partition, that is okay, since you don't have it, no ened to worry about it.

to unroot do i need 2.2 version to unroot?
If you're on hboot 2.10, you'll need a 3.70 ruu.
im sorry please show me how to unroot my phone since i cant boot up im on bootloader.
Use Sprint Lovers ROM the PC36IMG.zip version put on root of sdcard go into bootloader, update, reboot there you go. No re-root needed. I ALWAYS keep this on my sdcard root just in case. Trust me it saved my EVO more than once. You will lose everything but better lost info than lost phone. Try RA Recovery...better than any IMHO
Hello
i have a boot loop after restoring a backup, because after installing 'gapps' to the Cyanogenmod 7, it didn't work anymore
So i went into the Recovery mode to restore the backup.
But after restoring is the splash screen in a booting loop.
What can i do now?
There isn't another backup on my sd card
Is it possible to install another Rom directly from the recovery menu?

brandall, thankyou, I was in a nandroid-restore-boot-loop and your tip about not restoreing 'boot' saved me too (messinga around with my brothers Desire and I don't want him kicking my ass becaused of needing an unwanted full wipe)
but it's strange that an nandroid of a fully working installation fails when restored :S (had the same HBOOT when backup and restore, and the restore was made 15 minutes after creation :S )
Go into recovery, wipe everything and restore backup.

Yes we both did that, but somehow the backup went broken.
I tried wipeing EVERYTHING and restore backup maybe 5 times, but boot loop every time.
So the solution was to wipe and do an advanced restore were you restored ext, system, data and cache.
But NOT restore Boot!

to restore nandroid u have to do a full wipe first. what recovery did u do the nandroid with? if 4ext recovery then boot recovery and goto
wipe/format
format all partitions except sdcard
then
backup/restore
and restore nandroid.
also make sure u have the same hboot from when u made the nandroid backup.

I've done exactly that, and it doesn't work
The question is where the problem lays? The recovery? The backup itself? Or maybe the rom?
Well i wiped dalvik cache and cache only and now stuck on sasmung logo?? How much time davlik need for rebuilding or I need to restore all backup (waited 15min and nothing)? The all backup restore didnt work too...So factory reset is next right?
The factory reset worked but when restoreing backup its the same thing. Pls help where could be the problem in backup (system,boot,data...)

Really no idea, maybe some file corrupted.
You can use odin pc to install stock rom. After successfully reboot then root it and do restore again.
Good luck.

What do you want to restore? Did you already have Perseus kernel when you did the nandroid backup?
How did you made backup?
:*: Neebi :*:
maurice srefmen
Yes the persus kernel was instaled when i did nandroid, I used cwm backup to external card, tried to restore one by one but when restoring data i get stuck. I whant to restore everything, thats way I did backup before wipeing dalvik. So only left is flash stock root and try again?
Which error message do you have? Did you move or rename your backup?
Try to go to advanced settings and restore data only.
No error just stuck at boot logo, I tried every combination with system,boot,data restore but nothing, then I restored eariler backup without persus kernel in it and it worked (reverted back to stock kernel) then instaled persus again and its all fine now :good: Do you think there is some problem with backuping when persus kernel is installed?
I didnt now that factory reset with cwm doesnt erase sd internal so I have everthing back in place. Tnx everyone
Nice :good:
I know that we can have some issues when we try to restore a nandroid created from another kernel but nothing special but the Perseus kernel.
But AFAIK there is less problems with TWRP than CWM so it's possible that your problem is a recovery one and your custom kernel doesn't matter. Just try TWRP and let me know
EDIT
Factory reset only erases /data and /cache folders
I tried with TWRP and no problem with backup or restore :good: tnx
