Yeah, you confused your steps a little. Seeing that you did a nandroid after all of the wiping, you essentially just made a backup of your boot, data, recovery, and system images but your cache image is not gonna contain much because you wiped I'm pretty sure. If you flashed your new ROM, you can't flash your nandroid backup as that will take you back to your old ROM. Nandroid isn't a back up tool in the way you want to you use (settings, preferences etc) It is a tool that will restore your system in case you mess something up. If you want the new drizzy JAC build, you just flash that and leave your nandroid for a rainy day or if you screw up a flash and get a bootloop.

Nandroid won't complete a backup

I have been browsing google for an answer to this problem but nothing I have found has seemed to help, so I suppose I'll ask and see if anyone else has had this problem had knows what to do.
I try to run a nandroid backup from cyanogen's recovery, it simply keeps making dots and will easily fill up a screen.
Furthermore, i try and do a "nandroid-mobile.sh -b" and it hangs on the data.img part for in excess of 20 minutes.
Any ideas what I can try to get nandroid to work again? It has failed to work both on the last version of SuperD and on the newest which I updated last night (1.11?)
I suppose I could try a full wipe and reinstall, but I haven't donated for the full Titanium backup yet... and restoring is a pain until I do that.
Is there anything besides a wipe that I could try?
Thanks

I have the same issue using Amon Ra's recovery with Nandroid.
I end up pulling the battery and rebooting.
Take a look in your Nandroid backup folder on your SD card....you will see files that are several GB in size.
The nandroid appears to get stuck in a loop.
I have not had a successful nandroid backup made since CM-Recovery. I might go back to it but Amon Ra has a lot more stuff.

I reverted over to Amon Ra recovery from the JF+ Cyan one, and did a full wipe and restore of everything and nandroid was working well after.
Not sure what happened, but its all peachy now. I donated to Titanium backup, and it is the best app I have used... makes me want to switch Roms daily now!

Which Amon_Ra? I had the same issue on 1.5.x and 1.6.2.
Still no joy on nandroid or BART.

Bootloops AFTER Restore?

Hey Everyone,
I was just testing CM7 but I kept getting black screens after I locked the screen, so I went back to CWM and restored. The restore went fine but when I pressed 'Reboot phone now' it went into a bootloop. I then pulled the battery and tried wiping everything and restoring again. No success, still bootlooping.
So...any ideas?
<Edit> I flashed CWM with NVFlash (i have no idea why i did that) so now im on an older version of CWM and it cannot find my backups.

maybe u stored ur restore in the External SD...and it is not able to find it...maybe u can try to install ROM manager and flash the latest CWM via the ROM manager...did u try tht?

I cannot boot into my phone. The only thing I can access is my the old CWM that i got through NVFlash. Restoring worked but still bootlooped when I had the newer CWM.

As far as I remember....i think if u have stored your backup in the internal SD...then nvflash will do a wipe/....so u dont find it....do u have a backup in the computer which can be loaded to the EXTSD card and then try the restore....
Just a silly question:if u have restored....which backup u restored to???

Hey there. Thanks for your care and input. I've managed to fix my phone.
It happened to be that the CM7 I installed converted my phone to EXT4, I downloaded the EXT3 converter and now it's working.
Don't worry, your input is not wasted! I will still hit that thanks button.

[Q] [Issue] Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 Stuck At Spinning Circle After Titaniumbackup Flash.

I have tried this numerous times still no result.
Cm 10.1.3 works perfectly fine. But once i flash it with my Titanium backup update.zip file. There will be errors, and after i reboot it, it iwll just get stuck at the spinning blue circle. I have tried everything, from apps+data to only app data. Nothing works.
I would have to factory reset and reflash it again.
I use clockworks mod recovery.
My phone is a odin rooted Galaxy S3 Lte (i9305)

use recovery to flash roms not TB, its much more reliable.. i think the problem is because of apps and data you trying to restore with the update.zip. i know you use tb because you want to restore your apps+data easily while flashing new rom, but tb seems to give problems with this method

Nah, i didnt flash my rom with tb, i flashed it with recovery. Then once everything was done, i would go back into recovery and flash the update.zip file

yes i see, but that seems to be the problem ''restoring apps, data with tb'' and from what i know it occurs that this sometimes gives errors, fc's and bootloops like in your case

So is there no way to go through with this? Maybe export my backups to another software or something? or am i supposed to start fresh?

you could try to export your backups (only data) to pc temporary and after having flashed the rom with full wipe, install the apps again and put the backups manually in corresponding directories and see how that is gonna work out. I gave up on TB because of this problem and usually i always start fresh with new flashed roms. I only put my personal files on pc and put it back manually after rom install.

Thanks so much, I dont really need all my apps to be backed up, just important ones, has the manual method worked out for you?

yes, most of the times works fine but cant guarantee it will work with every app, i guess has something to do with permissions i.m.h.o

xposed modules resulted in a bootloop - cant restore my nandroid either

hi all, i made an xda account because i really cant understand whats going on with my phone
HTC One M8 running Android 6.0 (rooted)
so after rooting my phone, i proceeded to install xposed.
i flashed the zip - no problem
i installed the apk, and after choosing 4/5 modules that i wanted, i went ahead and enabled them all and rebooted to activate them.
this is where the problems started. my phone booted, however it kept on flashing a screen with the deafult One M8 wallpaper at me. after a few seconds, it came up with an error "com.android.systemui has stopped"
not sure what was going on, i went to twrp and directly restored my nandroid backup, but after waiting for 15 mins, i realised my phone was in bootloop, so i went back to twrp and did a factory reset and restored my nandroid. but again, it went into bootloop. i tried factory resetting and restoring 3 times before giving up.
my phone isnt connecting to my laptop anymore either, but if i need to flash anything i can do it with my sd card.
im not a complete noob but im still learning and ive never not been able to restore my nandroid.
thanks in advance for any help i can get

*. Flash xposed uninstaller zip and try booting your device. Link here - http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/uninstaller/
-->> use this» make a full wipe from recovery, then restore nandroid backup.
*.While restoring nand. from recovery, make a full wipe like wipe system etc.. Then restore your nand. Then you're good to go.

thanks a ton for your reply
i already tried flashing the uninstaller - didnt work
but ill try your second method. thanks once again

Hey, the 1st one won't works, Cuz you'd already did a factory data reset, so that's gonna be won't work. And you'd tried restoring nandroid over that, so that's failed.
I hope second one will works.

Deym!!
So, look at the One m8 forums, you'll get the workarounds.
I've found one here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/ht...k-twrp-t3086860?_e_pi_=7,PAGE_ID10,5801529172
@chaitra26, either DL any custom ROMs and flash it via custom recovery [Twrp].
Look here for custom ROMs - https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development?
Regarding that '' no OS installed'' error, that's common when you try to reboot your device from twrp without installing any system images /ROMs.
FYI - when you full wipe your device and tries to power up you'll get the same warning.
