[Q] How To Nandroid Restore? *Without Computer*

I am on CM6 Nightlies and I flashed the Gala S Theme. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop. Is there a way to nandroid restore without a computer?
Thanks.

This is what I can do with my phone to get into recovery on the fly
Assuming you are fully rooted with Nand Unlocked (Toast Part 1 & Part 2 or the equivalent using simple root)....
1. Turn your phone off
2. Hold the volume down button, then press and hold power
3. A white screen will pop up, wait for it to finish, then navigate to recovery using the volume down button and press the power button.
4. You are in recovery!
This works on my phone, if you get the Android with an exclamation point after clicking recovery from the white bootloader screen, I am almost positive you will need a computer.

ohh, i guess i'll be needing a computer since i got the red exclamation inside the triangle, right?
thanks for the reply.

If you are fully rooted then the easiest and fastest way to get to recovery is via Rom Manager, there is an option to boot right into recovery. This takes the less amount of time. Once in recovery there will be ab option for Nandroid then the back and restore option...

He's in a bootloop...rom manager isn't available.
Have you tried pressing volume up and power at the red exclaimation point? In the older versions of Clockwork Recovery, that was required to get it to load. (Which recovery were you using to get the nandroid in the first place?)

you can run the older method of recovery from when before we could flash nand, i dont have the link, but a search should turn it up.

-Reboot System Now
-Apply sdcard:update.zip
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition

Pull the battery then power down and volume down like normal...seriously it won't hurt !!!
Just wipe the theme from there!!!

[Q] Quick Q about flashing with ADB

Hi there.
My ClockworkRecovery has become unresponsive. I can get the main menu of Clockwork (reboot, flash update.zip, etc...) but when I select an option, it just goes to a black screen. selecting reboot doesnt even reboot the device. I downloaded and reflashed another Clockwork recovery, but it still has this issue.
Does anyone know how to ADB flash a new rom from the zip file provided? thanks

Are you using the Power button to select the option, as you do in HBOOT?
If so, you don't do this in custom recovery - you use the trackpad button.

Dave

[Q] Boot into recovery without Vol(+) button?

I got my phone a bit damp while skiing and now the + vol button doesn't work. I would like to keep playing around with Roms however the inability to flash an update.zip to boot into clockwork mod worries me too much.
Is there anyway to get into the standard recovery without holding the + and pushing power? Or possibly hard-flash clockwork mod?

---Solved, flashed recovery using unREVoked, works well now. Thanks everyone, back continuous unadulterated flashing---

Well, ROM manager can boot into recovery, but obviously that requires a working ROM.
Regards,
Dave

Install ROM Manager from the Marketplace, use the custom clockwork recovery image in my sig (fake flash). You can then install the custom recovery image from the root of your sd card using ROM Manager. To flash ROMs in the future, in ROM Manager, select the 'Install ROM from sd card option'. You can then use the trackpad to navigate through the recovery menu options instead of the Vol key.

Yeah I know I can get there from Clockworkmod, but the rom needs to be working. I'm worried about flashing anything else in case one of the roms is broken.
I've read that unrevoked rooted phones can do it, can I use the unrevoked method even though I'm already rooted with Paul's riskfree?

If you turn on your phone while pressing the "Back"button on the right of the (OJ)optical joystick, your phone boots in "Fastboot"
Then you select "Bootloader" by pressing the powerbutton
If one of your vol buttons still works, you can press it untill you've selected recovery
Et Voila

I can get to the recovery screen, black phone with red exclamation mark in triangle. It is at this screen I need the vol(+) button. Hmmm...not too confident about flashing roms anymore

Use UnrEVOked to permanently flash a recovery image onto your phone.

From terminal
su
reboot recovery
Also works

Where to from here?
I have been reading up on fastboot, in which I should be able to restore a nandroid backup if flashing a rom fails. This doesn't need the recovery console, there is some contingency I guess.
Has anyone used unrevoked on a prerooted device? are the steps the same?

For instructions for flashing a permanent recovery image (UnrEVOked) are pretty straightforward. Please see the following link for more information:

Just make sure you have HTC Sync uninstalled beforehand. To remove UnrEVOked, simply flash your original RUU file, which will also return you to stock and remove root.

Recovery -- Red triangle with bang?

Not sure how to get into recovery. I followed the root guide. I flash the recovery with Clockwork ROM Manager, and I selected "Recovery" from fastboot. But then I get a screen with a red triangle and a red bang (!).
Not really sure what to do to flash CM.

Ahh figured it out.

Yeah, for those that don't know, for future reference, you have to press volume up and then power when you get to that screen, then press vol down to select flash update.zip and press power to select that, to get to clockwork.
Glad you got it figured it out

Need help, phone is rooted and can boot into recovery, but cannot do anything there

Rooted my friends incredible with unrevoked, have S-off, and can boot into recovery, but once there when I try to select any of the options in CWM it just comes up with the hat logo (rom manager logo) and stay there, I can go back to the CWM menu, but can't do anything, so end up having to do a battery pull, I have tried different recoveries and version of CWM... any advice? Thanks!

What button are you using to select an item in recovery? If you hit the power button it will come up with that logo screen, you should click the trackball to select an item. My only other sugestion would be to flash amon ra recovery instead of cwm. Also if you are flashing your recoveries with rom manager try flashing one thru hboot instead.

I was using the power button! Thank you!!!!!

No problem also pressing the power button a second time will bring you back to the menu from that screen, no battery pull needed.

I make that mistake ALL the time with the dInc. I'm so used to using the buttons with my Tbolt I don't even think about it...... until I look down and the phone is looking back at me like "Hey... Idiot... I can stay on this blank screen ALL DAY long!"
