Hi !
i have a ROM with A2SD+ on EXT3 partition
1- First i'd like to know if Nandroid Backup make a copy of the EXT3 content .and if so does it restore the EXT3 content as it was ?
2- when i make a Nandroid restore do i have first to make a data,cache, dalvik,sd-ext wipe ?
3- Do i need to flash the ROM before flashing nandroid restore ?
4- if i have changed Radio or partition table does nandroid restore puts everything like at the moment of backup ?
thanks

In fact, it depends. There are few constellations where you don't need to wipe. But, to be on the safe side, just do it. Cause Nandroid restore doesn't restore an image, but files, thus w/o wiping you may end up with unneeded files.
This possibly answers your 4), too.

I got the message like (when backup) sd-ext did not gone with restored files..?
Does anyone knows why..?
Thanks

Please post the error message _literally_, cause the one you cited, makes no sense at all. At least for me ...

I think this means, when the nandroid backup is taken, it doesnot include ext backup file. Same thing happend to me.
I did some research on the problem and found a solution which seems to have worked for few people. However I have not tried it myself. I am going to do that though.
Summary of the solution
1.) Download Root Explorer
2.) Enable Root Mode/Mount System
3.) Navigate to /system/
4.) Create a new folder called 'sd'
5.) Ensure you're phone has at least 50% of battery
6.) Reboot and try the backup again.

If you did a backup of your stock rom you restore it in clockworkmod.
I tried to, but it says somthing like this: "format_volume: format_rfs_device failed on /dev/block/stl12"
What to do?

i did my backup with it but it cant restore
Assuming the backup is correct in the first place, you could always try the following commands through adb shell when booted in recovery. You'll need to adapt them to whatever the path of your backup is going to be:
dd if=/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-09-20.04.50.39/system.img of=/dev/block/bml12 bs=4096
dd if=/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-09-20.04.50.39/data.img of=/dev/block/bml13 bs=4096
dd if=/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-09-20.04.50.39/cache.img of=/dev/block/bml14 bs=4096
dd if=/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-09-20.04.50.39/boot.img of=/dev/block/bml8 bs=4096
I'm not sure how to handle .android_secure.img manually though.
Let us know if the above worked.
Good luck,
Darkshado
i dont know how to use adb shell
what should i do?
the files i have are not ".img", the files are: ".rfs.tar"
google.com dude ^^
Then you'll need to untar the files before flashing them.
i think you need to flash a stock rom with odin for once,and then flash cwm to do restore.

Hey guys, really hoping someone can help me here - my phone can't seem to boot into any of my nandroid backups - it just gets stuck in a boot loop.
That's only a fraction of the problem, the way I want to fix this is by installing a ROM from fresh, but that obviously requires me to be able to transfer the ROM to the phone - I can't seem to do that from the bootloader. And remember, I can't actually get into the phone OS to do it from there
Huge problem, basically... is there any way for me to transfer files to the phone from bootloader or recovery mode?
Really hoping someone here can help - thanks for everything.
Solution1
Ya surely can help
U Need to boot into ur custom recovery.
There will be a option called mounts and storage.
Select Mound SD card(While phone is connected to PC)
And mount the ROM
But why did your backup fail ?
Did a factory reset and wiped all you could in recovery ?
Flashed the boot.img from the nandroid backup ?
You saved my A...S ~!

Hey guys,
I have a problem... :'(
I tried flashing (with cwmv5.0.2.6) either JellyBread and marcin's cm7.2 and both failed.
I did everything, I backupped all, i factoryresetted, i cleaned cache and dalvik cache.
I flashed it, it says it's succesful... Then i fixed the permissions.
But when i try to boot it up it is stuck at the JellyBread splashscreen of with cm7.2 the samsung one.
And it does NOTHING ! Well, the first time i tried to flash JellyBread it did create android.secure,
Lost&found and somthing else but that was it.
I can still boot in recovery so it's not hard-bricked or anything...
I tried restoring my nandroid backups: "Can't mount /system!". *OHNOES*
Did I just brick my device?????
I'm so desperate, i need my phone every day... OMG Hope it's not bricked!!!!!!!!
Please help... :'(
DevWithCookies
You need to first wipe everything and then format your file system to ext4. Our gio has rfs file system. Custom Roms require ext4.
First Flash This Recovery
Then Flash This ext-4 formatter
Then flash any ROM
Reply if it worked
no your phone is not bricked
so first wipe /system /data /cache and /sd-ext (but NOT /sdcard) then flash the rom and DON'T set the permission. Reboot your phone and everything should work
btw: you can't restore the backup of a stock-rom because of different file systems...

Hey,
Since my thing worked now i can tell u too...
1) Backup all your apps with TitaniumBackup.
2) Backup all you messages with SMS Backup/Restore.
3) Backup all your contacts (by syncing them with your Google account).
4) Flash the cwm deadly46 posted.
5) Reboot into recovery and take a nandroid backup.
6) Copy all important stuff (or even better; your whole SD-card) to your computer.
7) Reboot into recovery and: do a factory reset, clear the dalvic-cache and clear the cache.
8) Run the ext-4 formatter deadly46 posted.
9) Copy all zip files needed for the flash to your sd-card.
10) Flash them.
11) Do a factory reset, clear the dalvic-cache and clear the cache again.
12) Reboot and don't get scared when it doesn't boot withing a minute, the first time always takes a while, but it can never
take more than 5 minutes (I read).
13) Login with your google account.
14) Install TitaniumBackup and SMS Backup/Restore and restore everything you need.
And your good to go!

Hi all,
I have had my Note II for a day now and I love it but I seem to have an issue. I rooted and installed CWM 6.0.1.5 (modified version by Phil I believe) using Odin and I of course made a backup of my stock rooted ROM before I started flashing anything but when I tried to restore my Nand it says that it cant find the files and cant open the location. The CWM backup file IS there cause I can see it when I plug my phone into my computer but it wont restore and yes... I've tried EVERY restore option there is in CWM - Restore, Advanced Restore, Restore from External, Advanced Restore from External, so on and so on...
Can anyone tell my why I cant restore my Nandroid? This concerns me as well should I ever need to restore my backed up EFS as again, it just wont restore anything from CWM.
Anyone else with this issue or know what to do about it?
Also,
When I choose to flash anything from Internal SD it is now taking me to a list that shows /0, /obb and /legacy (or something like that) and then I have to choose /0 in order to gain access to my actual Internal files.
I actually have 2 of these sets of folders some how after flashing so now when I try and flash from Internal SD I have to choose /0 AND THEN ANOTHER /0 to access the internal card from CWM. This is quite weird and annoying to say the least. This behavior is also shown when searching my device using ANY file explorer and when I connect my phone to my computer as well - IE. I have all of these extra folders showing.
Can ANYONE explain why this is happening and how to avoid it if at all possible? Is this just something new in 4.2? I am currently running Jellybam 3.52 - 4.2.1 ROM.
Thanks,
Is your Nandroid backup from CWM or TWRP?
I've seen articles regarding the backup function of CWM, the backup files have to be in the following path on either the Internal or External SD Card. I'll use the below path as an example for an external SD card.
externalsdcard/clockworkmod/backup/[What ever you want the backup to be]
When you use the restore function from CWM and navigate to Restore from External/Internal SD Card. It should come up with the name of the folder you chose in [What ever you want the backup to be] and be able to restore your Nandroid backup.

My Nand is in CWM. I dont use TWRP.
As I said... My backup is on my internal sd card in the exact same format as you described but when I go to CWM and try to restore it first says "cannot open directory" and then immediately says "no files found"
Ive been using CWM since my original SGS and I have never seen this happen before. I can see it in my File Explorer, I can see it on my computer when I plug in the device but I cant get CWM to find the file to restore it.
Im about as confused as it gets...
Im testing something right now... I am making a new backup of my Jellybeer ROM to my External SD card to see what happens. IF it will find the files after its done I will advise but I still dont get why it wont restore from my internal card...?
*EDIT* So it seems to have backed up to the ext. sd card and I can see this file when I choose to restore from ext. sd but... it was the FASTEST backup Ive ever seen. It literally took like 45 seconds if that so I hope its a full back up!
IF my memory serves me correctly... When I backed up my stock ROM (my initial back up), I checked for the restore when it was done and it was there but then I flashed Hyperdroid and then I flashed PACman and then tried to restore my original Nand and it wouldn't let me so I wonder if I flash something else (which i don't want to do right now cause Jellybeer is serving me well at the moment) am I going to lose the ability to flash my Nand again?

Thanks for the reply but... What would cause this to happen? Did you read my post where I backed up to my external sd card? Like I said... The backup literally only took like 45 seconds to complete which is weird unto itself.
What will flashing a stock ROM do to fix this? And when you say "stock" do you mean like "stock - unrooted"?

With regard to the /0 file issue - Yes... I am running a 4.2.+ CM10.1 based ROM so I understand that it creates those /0 files but it just keeps on creating them after flashing anything new!!!
Your issue is related to the new JB 4.2 and multi-user feature. CWM cannot find backups since they are moved to a different folder
The day you need your backup, just install a JB 4.1.2, move your /0 folder to root of sdcard and run your nandroid

Hi Phil,
Thanks for the reply my friend! So...you're saying that IF and when I need to restore my nand that I will have to install a 4.1.2 ROM first and then follow your instructions to move the /0 folder to the root of my sd card (i assume by using a file explorer of some kind in the 4.1.2 ROM itself?) and then flash my nand? Is that correct? Should I keep just any old 4.1.2 ROM on my device at all times for this purpose?
If so then what if I have multiple /0 files created as I do now? Currently I have 2 /0 folders and this seems to grow as I flash anything new. Do I then move ALL of the /0 folders to the root of my sd card before I can restore my nandroid backup?
Also... Why was I not able to restore from my external sd card using the option in your recovery either? I made a simple backup of my current 4.2.+ ROM to my external card and when I tried to restore it last night to test it said MD5 mismatch. Is this related to the 4.2 ROM issue as well?

Flash CWM with odin and then go into mounts? Firstly, what version of CWM are you saying to flash and then I assume you mean once thats done that I should then boot into recovery and then go into mounts? And then wipe caches, format system?
Can you clarify?

What I did was... I flashed v6.0.2.7 via ODIN (which has 4.2.+ ROM support) and I am now FINALLY able to restore my Nand back ups!!! The only thing now is that I apparently have 3 /0 folders on my device and I REALLY just want to know how to get rid of the extra folders and to know how to keep them from being created altogether!!!
I have one that has ALL of the original .zip files, gapps, etc that I installed on my device, then I have one that has an efs backup on it somehow and has a couple of application folders in it and then I have one that is like stock.
Why are these being created and how can I get rid of them? This is driving me CRAZY!!!
I had the same issue this morning.
I fixed it by installing the aroma file manager addon in Phil's CWM recovery and using aroma to copy the clockworkmod folder out of the /0 folder and back to the root of the sd card.
Then when I went into backup and restore the backup was visible again.
Once you have a rom installed you shoudl just be able to plug in via usb and just browse the sd card on your computer to move everything back out of the /0 folder

You can install nandroid manager from playstore and you can fix nandroid md5 mismatch there or you can use terminal emulator to generate new md5 file in your nandroid (google it because i cant remember the command)
