Is renaming a nandroid backup an ok thing to do? For example, I would want to rename "BDES-20100509-1947" to "5-9-10_fresh20d". Would this mess with the restore capability of said backup?

No, you can rename the nandroids as long as there are no spaces in the name. I do that with mine so I know which one is which.....

+1 I always rename my backup. No Space or you will get error during restore.
Awesome. This will definitely help me keep my backups organized. I do so many of them it's hard to keep track, lol.
I wish we could rename them when we made them. That would be most awesome.

well, if you make a nandroid from the command line in recovery, you can prefix the nandroid w/ a name.

pc. while in recovery, start a command prompt on the computer, then type
Code:
adb shell nandroid-mobile.sh -help
will show you all the switches for the use of making a nandroid from the command line. Thats how I integrated it into the Toolbox, but of course with WAY more special things buried in the source code

Oh, actually, I wasn't meaning to in that post. Sorry it may have come off like that, I was just emphasizing Recovery because none of those commands will work in a regular boot. But I am a smart @$$ sometimes

This file magically appeared on root of my SD card. I have no idea how it was generated or where it could have come from.
In preparation of installing CM6.1 I was backing up my SD card and noticed this monster file, I saved a copy to my desktop and am almost tempted to burn a copy as i'm kinda curious what the heck it is. I changed the file extension to txt to possibly view anything that might make sense, but no such luck, all gibberish.
For lack of any other clues i'm wondering if it has anything to do with DSP Manager? I did have a couple of force closes early on with DSP Manager but its been behaving fine for awhile now so i'm clueless.
Anybody have any input on this?
I'm not overly concerned but at the same time if i've got some rogue program running around creating 24 MB img files i'd certainly like to know.
ATT version N1
CM 6.0 stable at the time .img file was spawned

Don't try this, as it'll rewrite your system partition with whatever is saved in the IMG. It's definitely not the system, the size isn't nearly big enough.

just nandroid before all that madness is unleashed on your phone!
First post! So hello,
I made a big screwup. First i rooted my lg-p990, next i deleted lg-home using Titatium Free. I did not backup my file. Also i never installed a new homescreen.
When finishing this action, the phone didnt respond anymore. Now it wont restart. It is still possible to connect to pc and view sd cards. Also it will restart bringing the installation sequence, but when finishing it, the phone stops responding again.
I realise i havent been very smart. But does anybody have a solution?
Im guessing you will have to push the apk through adb.... but as i have limited knowledge on this i would wait until someone more experienced gives you help!

Short answer for you:
1) Download my attachement
2) Rename it from .zip to .apk
3) Put in adb folder
4) Run:
adb remount
adb push LGLauncher.apk /system/app/
adb reboot
doesn't pushing apks to system/app require root? Correct me if I'm wrong

If you manage to get a working adb connection the commands you need to execute are. Please make sure that the phone is unlocked when typing su (you will get a su access prompt on the phone and need to press allow)
adb push LGLauncher.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o,remount -rw /system
stop
cp /sdcard/LGLauncher.apk /system/app/
reboot

E-mail download link of the LGhomeLaunger.apk
Download on you phone and install.
It works as new!
Ok i solved the problem, thanks for thinking along with me..
It seemed i could still recieve emails, so i just sent the lghome.apk as a downloadlink true email..
it worked!
i guess sometimes solutions are not always as dificult!

well...
that is not a permanent fix.
when you install that way it is only installed in user space... If you ever factory reset the phone you will be stuck without a launcher again... and probably no way to config ur email :-(
you need to put the launcher apk file on your sd card... and then copy it to the /system/app folder using root explorer.
If you do this it will be fixed even after a factory reset...
anyway. Next time just freez apps. Dont uninstall them. If they are only frozen you can allways factory reset to get them back.
Hi all!
Well, thanks to everyone for their donations-- without you, this wouldn't be possible.
I present to you, one stepping stone towards custom ROMs: the shipping ROM on the device, backed up as a NANDROID.
What is this?
This is the shipping ROM on the device. There are no changes to this ROM besides being rooted.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How do I use this?
Extract the contents of this file to your SD card (external SD card) under
Code:
/clockworkmod/backups/
and you will end up with a
Code:
/clockworkmod/backups/revo_stock
folder.
Run Clockwork on your device, and select "Backups and Restore" then "Advanced Restore". Select "revo_stock" as the backup to restore, and choose to restore ONLY "system".
(You can also restore boot.img, but it is unnecessary, and I only left that in there for future use.)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What does this backup include?
This backup ONLY includes /system and boot.img. There is no recovery.img in this backup, nor is there a /data or /cache.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Will I lose my apps or information if I restore this backup?
No you will not, this backup will not touch your /data partition.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why is this useful?
Accidentally erased something important in /system?
Removed something and now 4g Hotspot doesn't work?
Restore this, and it'll fix that... of course all the stock OS will come back, but hey-- you get a second chance

its telling me that i have a md5 mismatch!!! i will try downloading it again.
Thanks cube please keep up the hard work! I wish I could do something to help other then sending some $$$ I would love to help bring the revolution along.
Viva la revolution.
Did anybody use this yet. i tried and it says my md5 does not match. i tried numerous times
Haven't tried it yet but I checked the MD5 against the images and they are correct.
Ah, sorry, forgot to state select "Advanced Restore" or whatever it's called-- JUST restore system.img.
If you select "Restore" it looks for the /data and recovery.img in the nandroid.md5 file, and when it doesn't find it, it errors out with an md5 error.
I'll edit the instructions now...
Just tested this. I can't advanced restore the system.img either. Comes back with MD5 mismatch. I can restore my own backups without a hitch however.
[Edit] I forgot to mention. There's a carriage return on the Rooted Factory-Stock ROM MD5 file. Removing it didn't seem to matter. I was thinking that maybe it was the culprit.
Agh! you just gave me the answer... I saved it in windows, rather than linux, so the line endings are wrong...
If you're able to, just open the file nandroid.md5 in Notepad++ or something like it, and remove the extra blank line, and change the line endings to UNIX style.
Thanks, I'll re-upload the .zip when I'm on a faster connection.
The actual .img files themselves are good, though.

Is there a version of this with everything? In other words, not just system but data, etc. I somehow am stuck in CWR...don't have a nandroid backup. I pushed this to the right place on the SD card, did the system restore, but it still repeatedly boots into CWR. Is there anything that will do a FULL restore instead of just system?
Thanks in advance.

Hm, so you did a data wipe from within Android. Yep, that'll get you stuck in CWR, but it's not a problem with the backup, it's that the LG bootloader isn't happy with Clockwork.
When installing Clockwork, did you make the p8 backup?
so im having the same problem i even started a thread too but im an idiot and didnt make that p8 backup because the md5sum didnt match so i stopped there but clockwork still seem to flashed to the phone now im in clockwork everytime i boot up was wondering any way to work around this if not guess imma just get a new phone until there is a way

There is a way, I just haven't written it into an easy-to-use program yet.
For now, if you haven't made a p8 backup, the easiest method is for you to come on IRC and have me adb into your phone and fix it for you.
If I get a spare moment though, I will work on a stuckinclockwork.zip that you can flash using clockwork to get you out of clockwork.

Nandroid backups on the D3 aren't the fastest right now, but with a simple and quick tweak, we can make them much, much faster.
During the backup/restore, clockword recovery shows each individual file being copied. By turning this off, it drastically improves backup/restore times. It'll still say backup up /system, or /data, it just won't show the individual file. In order to remove the nandroid progress stats, you need to create two files using adb or terminal emulator.
ADB or Terminal Emulator1) type- (may need to do "adb shell" first)
Code:
echo "" > /sdcard/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress
Press enter
2) type
Code:
echo "" > /sdcard-ext/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress
Press enter
3) Done!
Hint- to check to make sure it created the files, navigate to /sdcard/clockworkmod and see if there's a .hidenandroidprogress file. Also check in /sdcard-ext/clockworkmod for the same file.
Can't we just create the files manually instead of going through the trouble of using adb?
Yup. I used a terminal emulator on my phone since I didn't feel like taking the time to do it.

Thanks for this. I was wondering why backup/restore was so much slower on the D3 than on my OG Droid - synchronous IO strikes again.
FYI,
I removed the detailed progress bar from the upcoming Safestrap 1.0. The wait was just too long to even have that option enabled.
Excellent post, thanks a lot for sharing this tip.
Edit: I created both files and then rebooted into Recovery and started a backup. I still see each file being named as well as the progress bar. Did not seem to work for me...

Wow, had a temporary lapse of reason earlier... Your typo of the comma in your last comment made me realize my own typo in typing /.hideandroidprogress instead of ./hidenandroidprogress . Backups are much, much faster now.
Huge difference!
I'm not sure if this is where I should post this but... When making a backup with CWM bootstrap(Not Safestrap) does it backup the /preinstall stuff too? I ask because I tried using the safestrap to flash a compatible rom and didnt backup and the rom wasnt functioning properly. I managed to recover back to my ogblur i was running prior but i wanted to know if my /preinstall was reverted and if not do I have anything to worry about with it not being how it was originally?

Hello everyone,
I had HTC one that I sent to maintenance to be swapped for a factory fault. Before I send it, I made a full backup with HTC sync manager and saved it on my E: partition. When the phone was at maintenance, I had to install a new windows because it crashed. When I received my new phone, I installed HTC sync manager and copied the backup files to HSMbackup directory.
The problem is that sync manager says no backup available for the device and I really need to restore those data because this is the only backup I have.
Please, can anyone help me???
Did you just reinstall windows or did you perform a factory reset on the computer? If factory reset, you are basically SOL.
---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------
There are some data recovery programs out there you can try, but it all depends on whether data has been overwritten. Try Recuva.

I just re-installed windows on C: and didn't touch anything else and excuse me but what do you mean by SOL??
And FYI I still have the backup files on my computer.
OK. If all you did was reinstall windows, then your back up files should have already been in the correct directory to use the restore feature. Why did you have to move the backup to a different directory? Just trying to understand, not trying to be a prick.

No, because as you know the default directory is on C: but the backup files were saved on E: so, I had to copy the files to the C: directory.
And even when I selected the E: directory, sync manager couldn't identify the backup.
I am sure you've checked and double checked to ensure the path to the backup is exactly as was laid out at the time of backup, correct?

Suppose you can't do that then. I'm at a loss here, bro. Hopefully someone smarter than me will be along soon. Right @clsA? I would highly suggest that to make things easier in the future when it comes to backing up to skip the proprietary HTC way and just go with a standard Nandroid backup. You really can't beat that kind of backup, though it will require you to root your device. I know that might sound scary, but rooting this phone is so so simple. You can still run the stock ROM and all that, but Root access really makes the One shine. Just my 2 cents.

Suppose you can't do that then. I'm at a loss here, bro. Hopefully someone smarter than me will be along soon. Right @clsA? I would highly suggest that to make things easier in the future when it comes to backing up to skip the proprietary HTC way and just go with a standard Nandroid backup. You really can't beat that kind of backup, though it will require you to root your device. I know that might sound scary, but rooting this phone is so so simple. You can still run the stock ROM and all that, but Root access really makes the One shine. Just my 2 cents.

I'm not real big on HTC Sync for anything really. But try this.
use htc sync make a new backup to it's new location
then rename all you old backup files to the new backup files names and overwrite them in the new location
now try and restore them.
I hope that makes sense to you

Glad to TRY to help. [emoji2] I think Wondershare is an OK option if you are not rooted. My preference would be Helium for unrooted backup, though. Like I said, though, you really can't beat a Nandroid backup when rooted. It literally is a copy of every single file on your phone in the exact state it was at the time of backup.

I tried and copied the folders from the old backup to the new folder created after I made a new backup and it has overwritten 132 files and tried to restore.
the restore worked but the media files weren't restored as I hoped.
What are the steps would you suggest??

Is the device Stock? Is it on the same rom and firmware that you made the backup on?
