I am currently in the middle of a nandroid. It has been backing up data for 1.5 hours now. I enabled compression and the data size is 3322mb. I am backing up the Viper rom for the M8 on TWRP. Is there a way to do a battery pull to cancel this nandroid?

Every time I try to do a simulated battery pull by holding down the power button, it just locks twrp. Even if it is still working, 2 hours is way too long for a backup.

that awkward moment when you feel really dumb. Thanks again. I'll try without compressing this time.
without compression,,, the backup took 1 min!

Compression in this ver of TWRP is a pig. I think quite a few of us have been bitten by that extended backup.......;0)

OK so I have some doubts on whether to flash the leaked update and whether or not it is a TRUE update, or like a reflash where all my info/apps/settings would get reset.
Any light that you guys can flash on this for me would be great.
Thanks

You would have to wipe your cache before you flash. I tried it to see what would happen and the keyboard didn't install. Just back up your apps/contacts/calendar and you'll be fine.
i'm not sure if it wipes everything. you can always do a nandroid before..
titanium backup + google concacts sync and you wont even notice that you wiped, takes you 15 minutes to set everything back up, instead of a few hours.
forgot to mention that Im only partially rooted via the unrevoked3 method, been waiting on the official release of froyo before jumping in to a custom rom.

Check and check, I do regular backups of both. Hell I might just dive in head first, I could always flash a stock RUU if I screw up right?
Another question, does titanium also back up call logs/text messages?
The update doesn't require a wipe, but its always a good idea. I did it without wiping and everything pretty much worked, but I wanted to make sure nothing would go wrong later, so I did a factory reset afterwards. If anything goes wrong, just do a factory reset.

It should, but you need to back up a specific thing in Titanium Backup. It's a green entry that says (I think) Email & Messaging.

didnt find it, but used mybackup to back it up just in case, if worse comes to worse all I have is a double backup, nbd
Thanks for the helps guys
I flashed DC 3.5 yesterday on top of my 3.2.3, and it was working flawlessly. However, I realized that some of my apps didn't like the upgrade, so I was planning on restoring my nandroid of my 3.2.3 installation, backing them up with TB and then restoring. I began the restore process and it has been running for over 1.5 hours so far. This seems excessive but I don't want to just pull the battery out if this could be normal.
I haven't changed from the default SD card that came with my EVO, so I know that it isn't the fastest card. Some advice would be appreciated.
Edit: I gave up waiting, pulled the battery, and restored my froyo backup. This restored in about 3-4 minutes, so that tells me there was something wrong with my 3.2.3 backup. That's obnoxious
Try restoring one more time...if it doesn't work then restore froyo again
I have similar problem, I am trying to do a nandroid restore. It's been going for two 1.5 hours.
I was on CM6 RC1 with Snap V7.b kernel.
Trying to nandroid restore fresh 3.1.0.1.
The restore process has completely filled my screen with the dots it's been going for SOOOOOOOOO long. What should I do?
If I pull the battery will it toast the phone? phone is unresponsive to button pushes but the dots are still going. PLEASE HELP

You should be fine pulling the battery. If you've been running this for 1.5 hours as you say, I'm sure you wasted a significant amount of juice. just leave the phone off and charge it for an hour and then boot up into recovery and try again.
If it happens once more, either select a different nandroid or flash a new rom again.
Can someone please tell me how long a nandroid restore can take as a maximum?
I am running a nandroid restore as I type.
From CM6 RC1 with snap kernel
To Nandroid back up of Fresh 3.1.0.1.
It's been going for 2+ hours, the dots are still progressing but this seems like its taking longer than it should.
Question: Is this amount of time a sign that something is severely wrong?
How can I correct the issue? What will a battery pull do to my device?
Update: Battery pull did the job and my phone isn't bricked.
Shouldn't take that long.. I've done dozens of restores and most it took was 10 minutes or so.
Pull the battery and try again.. might be a r/w issue with the card.. You should still be able to get to recovery.
did you do the backup with clockwork, and trying to restore with RA, or the other way around? I heard that can cause issues.
yep, 10 minutes is the longest I've ever had one go. Also, fwiw, it always seems to finish somewhere around the fifth line of dots..

Nope, all done with Amon. Still not sure what the issue was. Resolved, I just flashed the rom again instead.
I have rooted HTC evo. Using sprintlovers rom
I just installed netarchy kernel on my p hone and I accidentally overclocked too far and my phone froze. I waited and tried pressing the buttons etc but eventually had to pull the battery.
Now it says for many apps that "linked program is no longer installed on your phone"
I backed up everything just before this happened with AMON RA or whatever its called. What is the best route of action for me to recover from this? Just reinstall my apps or should I use a recovery option?
MY RSA key is still present which is good..
I guess I shouldn't have messed with the overclocking lol
If you just restore your latest backup, you'll be okay, or restore apps from titanium. Also, anything over 1.2 GHz, will make your phone spazz.

*Clicks Thanks button*
Restoring now. Will this also restore my stock kernel or will I remain on netarchy.
OOPS just realized I forgot to clear my cache and dalvik before restoring.. hope it will be alright. Is that very bad? I guess I got excited...
E: Error in CACHE:recovery/log (No space left on device) is an error I got but says restore is complete. It actually said that like 4 times .
any input?

Why thank you
And it'll restore whatever kernel you had when on the backup at that time, so I will say the netarchy kernel, also you don't need to clear your cache when restoring, cuz the restoration puts it back to what it was at that time. I never wipe when restoring and never had a problem.
Edit: apparently you didn't have enough storage to complete the cache, but try booting up and see what happens.

Eh I already went ahead and wiped both and re-restored so now its restoring again. I didn't figure it would hurt to be on the safe side. Thanks a lot for your help this stuff makes me nervous its my first time doing it but I'm getting accustomed to it.

It clearly doesn't hurt, and it if makes you feel comfortable, then by all means do it.

Wow, Okay my phone is perfect again. Also I did a setCPU benchmark and its much better on the stock kernel.
Short bench on netarchy was around 500ms, long around 700ms
On the stock kernel i have
Short bench - 230ish ms consistently and long is 370ish ms consistently
What gives? I tried all different clock speeds on netarchy/toast kernel and it was much worse?
Also my phone is smoother with stock kernel by a lot I think I'll leave it be.
Any explanation for this? I'm stumped but pumped its so easy to go back to everything being perfect!

Personally, you don't need to worry about bench marks, just of how it actually performs. And every phone is different, in that it'll take to kernels differently. So if you had better performance on the other kernel, then that's the one you need to be on.

Yeah the stock kernel was much smoother and all around faster, I really wanted the full HDMI feature of that netarchy kernel though.
Just to follow up on this. I reflashed the kernel and it worked great.
Apps that disappear I got to come back with a cache/dalvik cache wipe.
I'm trying to do a TWRP backup of my GPE M8, but it's stuck at 75% for the last 40 minutes with no sign of progress. The striped progress bar is still moving, but the progress indicator has not budged. How do I get out of backup mode, or does it really take an hour to do a backup?
I believe it has a zip-up function, if you unselect that option the backup won't be zipped and should be ready in minutes.
Correct me if i am wrong.....

Ya thanks I had selected the compression option. I was able to use the HTC AIO toolkit to reboot the phone, unselected compress, and backup was done in a couple of minutes. Thanks!
