Hello,
My dad wanted soft keys on nikez ics. I copied the zip to the SD card and flashed it to his phone. I'm 100% sure it was for the right version of the rom. It was stuck in a bootloop. I thought no problem I still have a nandroid backup. So I restored the nandroid backup and restarted the phone. But when it was on I noticed that a few things had changed. For example all the homescreens he had set up are gone. Second and more important is that his apps still are in the appdrawer but they all force close when I open them. What went wrong and why doesn't the nandroid restore everything as it was before I made the nandroid backup. Can somebody please help me out!?
Thanks in advance,
Rsdf430.
Maybe the sd-ext broke somehow. Try repartitioning your sd-card.

I just loaded Drizzys rom to take a look, but prior to doing so I did a nandroid backup.
I then restored my backup and all my settings have been lost?! Any ideas why this would happen?
Luckily I also made a backup yesterday - that restore worked thankfully.
Why would my backup made today not restore my data?
Did you wipe before backuping?
If I did it certainly wasn't intentional. I have just compared the data.img file and the one I was hoping to restore was half the size. I must have wiped first, silly me.
Thankfully I had yesterdays backup (albeit without my completed levels of farm frenzy). Oh well we live and learn.
Mod please close my stupidity thread!
Right, i've finally managed to get my desire to the prefect state and i want to do a nandroid backup to guard against the inevitable SD card corruption or other problems that seem to be plaguing me.
The problem is whenever i preform a backup through CWM i get both a bootloop and a corrupted MD5 on the backup, making it impossible to create a backup.
Is there anyway to prevent these botloops from occurring so i can finally backup my nand?

Try take your card out of the phone put into the card reader and check with windows for any mistakes
Card is completely boned, i dont think it could handle the ext partition, cant even format it anymore as it just lists as a media device with no space and any attempt to format just sits at 0% forever, have ordered a new one. What i really need is a a way to prevent bootloops from occurring after a nandroid backup, that way i can make a back up with my new card once it gets here.
Phone died on me again today, so i had to flash it back to stock to get it fixed. Please tell me that someone knows how to make a nandroid without bootloops, so i can make one as soon as it gets back.
so the dhd fell out my pocket onto concrete and the screen is f**ked, completly smashed. (surprisingly the screen itself is still ok.) luckily i have insurance
I know this is a noob question, but I want to know for sure.. if i make a nandroid backup, this backups everything right? ie every setting, and every app and every icon on the home screen etc etc?
And i assume the best way to check it works is to try and restore it?
Thanks..
it should backup everything except the SD card content.
But if you've got apps installed on your SD card and you leave it in the state it is now, you can put the phone into recovery mode and it'll be exactly the same as before.
Correct me if i'm wrong please.
But what if you get a new phone, instead of this old one repaired? Can you still restore your nandroid backup? Because it's on another phone.
Why shouldn't it work. Its exactly the same thing, just root it and run the recovery.
I just read an interesting article about this and about saving settings and apps to the cloud on Gizmodo.

well the nandroid backup, or at least the one i've done through rom manager/cwm backs up to the sd card, so if i did get a new phone i'd just be able to put in sd card, root phone/install cwm again and then restore?
Titanium Back-Up is good for backing up and re-linking applications if you want to do just add application to a new rom image. I would suggest your current situation might be a good time for a fresh install.

nandroid won't backup your radio either, so you'd have to re-flash your radio...
Hi
I recently helped my friend to move her phone from stock to Cm7.1 stable and realized that for some reason, changing ringtone doesn't really change the ringtone.
There is a standard ringtone that plays for around 45~60 secs before the ringtone she chose plays.
Does anyone else have this problem or know a fix for this?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Did you do a full wipe before / after flashing CM7.1?
Yeah,
I remembered doing that... do you think that is the way to go?
You HAVE to do that yes.
I think I did. The thing is. it's not my phone, and so if possible I don't really want to have to wipe her phone clean. Could you think of any other possible ways to fix this without me having to have her back up everything and wiping the phone?
Before flashing a rom you should take a nandroid backup and a titanium backup. When you wipe, you then restore the titanium backup.
If you havent got a titanium backup, nandroid back to the old rom before you flashed it and take one. You HAVE to wipe going to CM from Sense.
If you didnt take any of tehse backups, all you can do is flash a sense rom as close to teh rom that was there originally, then make sure you back everything up.
ok. I'll try it when I and she have time. Thanx for your help. I'll update this post respectively.
Today I installed MIUI on the phone and now I was exploring some themes and I installed Neon Lamp theme and everything went fine till I locked the screen. Now I can't unlock the screen, I slide the bar but nothing happens (I'm guessing the theme is for bigger resolution phones and the bar won't go all the way to the end on samsung gio's screen). When I reboot my phone he boots up right to the lockscreen and I can't unlock it...I really don't want to restore the original ROM cause I went through hours of work installing the previous apps and settings and I don't even have the titanium backup anymore...I've already tried all sorts of button combinations but failed to succed...The only thing I can open is the shutdown/reboot menu...Help please? (And yes, I've already tried to boot without the SD card and I've already removed the theme from the SD Card).
Update:
Sorry about the double post but I've tried pretty much everything and couldn't solve it so I'll give up and do a wipe...I still have the nandroid backup so you can always tell a solution...Up to this point I've tried so much...I really thought I would do it but meh. I did a nandroid backup and restored just the sd ext and data. The lockscreen was still there. Then I tried to download a lockscreen from another miui theme and put it on mine nandroid backup so that when I did a restore it would replace the lockscreen. MD5 mismatch. Here I go through a lot of research and I found a fix using ADB Shell. MD5 Mismatch was solved and everything was being restored. Suddenly an error appeared. Data could not be restored. I ran out of patience. I still have the unmodified backup here on my pc so if you have any good solution I would be grateful...

You can unlock it by pressing "back" and "vol up" at the same time.
I didn't think it a soft key would work now I don't think I'll restore from the nandroid backup but thanks anyway, I feel stupid x)
