That's what I get when I try to perform a Nandroid backup.. any ideas, this is how I did it on my old hero phone..

I had that same problem. Only way I was able to fix it was to delete some of the excess files from my SD card. I had a bunch of old backups, so I deleted them and it worked fine after that...

I already deleted the Nandroid folder. I have 6 gig free on SD, even tried different SD card.

Save everything on your sd, and repartition it.

That happened to me when my battery is below 30%

Full charge.... also on hboot2.02 A-off if that helps..
Also changed SDs and did all that

yeah its the under 30% battery thats causing that for SURE
just charge the phone and try again

You could always try running "nandroid-mobile.sh" via adb.

"Nand backup" works fine for me but "Nand + ext backup" (which is what you did) produces the same error that you show. I think the "+ ext" part is looking for an ext3 partition on your sdcard.

That makes sense, I'm used to my hero with 2.2 with apps2sd... I moved my installed apps to SD.. I'm assuming .android secured? Will that be backed up ?

*sigh* Did you try doing what it says to? Y'know... Run the script from adb shell? That usually tells you what's wrong...

i had the exact same issues as both of you. I had to repartition my sd card, then run nandroid.sh from adb then try it in recovery.
battery was always @ 100%

running from adb will usually produce an error in terminal as well

Tell it to move the recovery log to your sdcard and take a look at it, that should tell you whats wrong with it.

I thought if you had hboot 2.02 or 2.10 you need to use the new modded Aman RA-1.9. Flash the new recovery and see if you problems disappear.

Strange issues.

I have been rooted for like 6 months now and have never really had any issues until last week. Started getting fcs on media and a lot of reboots. Flashed a couple different ROMs and stayed away from any custom kernels still having issues. So I decided to start fresh and not use TB to restore any apps, but now I keep having problems with data not working and my apps are disappearing. The last time I flashed Sprint Lovers after wiping everything and flashing the format all .zip and then I redownloaded all of my apps from the market. Everything seemed fine for a day or two and now all hell has broke loose once again. Any one have any tips or suggestions I really don't want to unroot.

Well what symptoms are you having? Are your radios up to date, and did you install on a clean install?

Apps keep disappearing and my data randomly stops working. I'm pretty sure my radio and pri are up to date. I've ran Sprint Lovers before with no problems.

Have you installed any sdcard speed fixes?
~ d3rk

No, haven't tried anything like that. How long does the factory SD card usually last? Could it be starting to fail?

Did you have the apps on sd? Maybe that's the problem. Sdcards usually last for years but sometimes they can corrupt.
~ d3rk

I'm not sure if those ones were or not but its possible. That could possibly explain the media fcs when my phone would ring with a custom ring tone.

One more thing I just discovered. YouTube is one of the apps that disappeared and I go to the market and try to download it and it starts to download then nothing happens. Also most for the HTC widgets are gone now.
Sent from my EVO 3G

This sounds exactly like a corrupted sd man. How is it working now? Did you do a full wipe and start over?
~ d3rk

I've been having problems since I did a full wipe including flashing a format all .zip. When I get more time I might try formatting my SD card.
Sent from my EVO 3G

Start from scratch. Copy the contents of your SD card onto your computer or external hard drive. Download a fresh copy of the rom you want to flash as well as a fresh copy of amon RA v2.3. Place the PC36IMG.zip for amon RA on the root of your card and then shutdown your device. Enter the bootloader by pressing simultaneously, the down volume button and the power button until your device starts. When it starts, you'll enter the bootloader screen and pause briefly until a few lines of text scroll across the screen. Afterwards, the bootloader will automatically detect the PC36IMG.zip file and prompt you to install. Follow the prompts to install. The installation process will last less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, reboot into recovery and then go to the wipe menu and select "wipe SD card". Your card will then be formatted. Now individually select to wipe everything in the wipe menu except the SD card, being that you just wiped it. Afterwards, select return at the top. Connect your device, if not already connected, to your computer via USB and then select the "MS-USB". A drive should appear on your computer. If you have a Mac, it will appear on your desktop. Copy the rom you want to flash onto the card. Unmount the card from the computer FIRST and then unmount it from recovery by selecting the power button. Go into the flash menu and flash the rom. Afterwards, reboot into your new homescreen and then update your profile in the settings menu if you're using a sense based rom. Hopefully, your issue will be resolved. Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend..

Directory Bind is Driving me nuts !!!

So, i'm trying to bind FIFA 12....the source folder for FIFA 12 on the internal SD card is in /Android/Data/com.ea.game.fifa12_na so I went to the External SD Card at
storage/extSdCard/ and created the folder /Android/Data/com.ea.game.fifa12_na
I entered the paths in the source and target fields then ticked on transfer files from target to data then clicked on Add and it started copying the files until finished successfully.
I went back to check the source files if they are actually moved but they are still there...the fifa folder in the local storage is there with all it's files and is reading 1.5GB although it has been transferred to the External SD Card..why hasn't the files been deleted as it mentioned?
Also there is something very weird, if I manually delete the com.ea.game.fifa12_na from the local storage it gets deleted from External SD card as well..This even happens if the item is unbinded ! This is really driving me nuts..why does it get deleted from the external sd although I haven't touched it?
I don't know if i'm clear with my problem but I hope someone understands what I'm saying..
Thanks in advance.

Btw...I do know that directory bind has to keep the original source folder but not with all the files in it as in my case !!!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

I had a similar problem with DirectoryBind. The error I made was using the wrong path for the original files. I used /storage/sdcard0/Android/... when instead I should have used /sdcard/Android/...
This may not help you but maybe it is worth a try? Worked like a charm after this for me.

Thanks for the reply mrruin..ill give that a try now and report back.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

Ok, i'm trying with the path sdcard/Android....it's copying files now, hope the files disappear from the internal storage after that !!

YES !!!!!!!!!! Finally the path of the original files is reporting 0kb....now i'll try running it from the memory card

Ok this is weird...WTF??!! After running the game and closing it...I went back to the original path and the files are back and the path reports 1.5GB again...wtf is that???

That's it...I give up on Directory bind...tried everything possible nothing seems to be working right...original feels still keep getting back after being transferred to the external SD..this is driving me nuts..could be a problem with the rom or something....sigh

I think that if the directory bind is on then the internal memory will still show the files even though there are in the external card. Click unbind and then check the internal memory. However if directory bind is on and files still showing, it will show the correct free space when you check storage in settings.

This is way how director bind works!
Nothing wrong, just unbind, you will see there is no files on sdcard.
It will just show files but still your space won't be counted. Njoy!

If anyone has binded it can u kindly share screenshots of ur binds??

Issue with Titanium Backup

So, I've set the Backup directory to storage/extSdCard/Titanium Backup, but then I noticed that External storage is set to /storage/sdcard0/, so what's the deal with that? :S

That's a feature of jellybean and because of the partitioned internal. Do not worry. As long though as you point it to your 64gb external card as you have done you are OK.

Thanks for the reply mariosraptor....no wonder why the Move to SD feature in the pro version doesn't really work. I tried moving an app it moves it and I see the memory card icon then when I go back it just disappears and is not listed as an app stored in the ext sd.

Yep cause the apps actually are already in the sd. It's about the partions.

Yeah I know...I just thought to try the move apps to external SD card..but then it's useless.
Guess the only way is Directory bind, but then for some reason I can't find the directories for all my apps? Aren't they supposed to be in /Android/Data? I looked in there and only a few apps are there not all of them. What is the path for the apps?

I do not use directore bind. I use a more convenient solution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036796
You already hace root. You need a kernel with init.d support.
I have been using this since my S3.
With this I have about 9gigs to install apps in the "real" internal card. All others like game data, and photos and stuff are in my 64gb extcard which now is internal.
Just read the thread by Mattia.

I have tried it and it worked but it caused me more confusion than make things easier and had trouble with the camera and gallery so I removed it. What I hated most about this mod is the reversed partitions when copying things from the pc via MTP
I may give it another try and see how it goes..

I have no problem in camera nor anywhere else.
The first time though after flash that you will open camera and it says it detected a memory card just say NO when it ask if you want to store them there.
Also in browser set phone as where to store downloaded data so you don't end up with this or that file is corrupted.
Hope this help

No, Android/Data will contains only such application which requires to download/store some external data.
All application data stores in hidden data folder, titanium backup is actually backup applications in that folder.
Directory bind useful which have big data like gameloft/navigation map. rest of data is very small and can be created again once you hard reset.

[Guide][How To] Fix Sdcard / Find backups after cm10.1 Flash!

We all had that problem, we can't find our backups after flashing Cm 10.1. IT IS FIXABLE! So why would you factory reset through Odin? Here is how to fix it.
Step One: Make sure you are on a ROM with the play store. (When I flashed CM10.1, I had CM10 still on my sdcard with the Gapps, so I flashed that.)
I use ES file explorer, but you use what you want. Be sure to rename any important folders just in case so the files don't over lap.
********************************
If you play games.. BACKUP YOUR DATA! THIS PROCESS DELETES GAME AND APP DATA! I AM SORRY! USE BACKUP PRO OR TITANIUM BACKUP IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH IT! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
*********************************
Step Two: Go into your 0 folder and highlight everything in there except Android. Shown here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step Three: Hold down on a folder and select "Move to"
Step Four: it will bring up a box, go up till you get to the parent folder, shown here, and select SDcard (Internal SD!).
Step Five: After Selecting the internal SD Card, hit "ok" and it will move everything up to your parent folder where the "0" is. You can delete the "0" Folder (Make Sure there is nothing left in there that you need!), reboot into recovery, and get your backups back!
-----------------------------------------
Hope that saves someone from doing a factory reset with Odin! Any questions just ask!

Won't this just be a problem later when you go to download more stuff. The phone will continue to store files in the "0" folder and not the internal SD card or will it reroute all files to that folder from that point on?

Only issue that I encountered was I lost a bunch of my pictures in the transfer, When I selected internal SD to move them to, a box popped up saying if I wanted to override something and I clicked yes...I wonder if that was the issue. Also I lost all of the files that I downloaded to the internal such as new roms.

Actually I recall that I ran out of internal memory while the move was going on so some things probably didn't make the transfer. All those "0" folders really sucked up my space!
