nandroid messing up - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

the past few days ive been trying out all the roms and making nandroids just incase, but when i restore the nandroid backup, everything goes ok, but then it always freezes at the boot animation. i have tried with atleast 15 different nandroid backups and i get the same results each time. any suggestions? thanks in advance

Yup its an a2sd issue. Repartition ur. SD card and u should be cool. Make sure u copy ur SD card to ur Hd first and put it back when done.

ahhh!!! thanks bro. it didnt start happening till i partitioned to ext3. think that could be it?

Um maybe or one of two others. Ur SD card is full and the nandroid can't expand to restore or the nandroid is corrupt(bad) and u should use a different one

i havent forgot. im flashing froyo now just to see how it is then gonna do a nand restore

it worked!!!!

You have better protection from corruption with ext3 because of the journal (also, it doesn't take as long to check it).
Now ext4...not sure what's the benefit of that over ext3.

Isnt clockwork from that rom manager in the market? It has always striked me as android spyware, so to speak.
You best bet is to flashrec the latest ra-1.xx floating around here somewhere.

Try rebooting your phone.
I think at this point, you shouldnt backup if your running clockworld. Dont you have your original recovery.img from your initial root? Using flashrec, you should be able to flash that right back and get back into nandroid. (you kept your nandroid backups on your sd, RIGHT?!)
Even if clockworlds recovery isnt working, you shod still be rooted.

First things first do not under any circumstances run the 2.1 ruu. Are you still using the stock 1.5 radio?

okay I am guessing that you said yes to using the stock radio. So this is easy do you still got your original recovery image and your original nandroid? Just go into recovery and nandoid back to stock 1.5 then reboot and download flashrec and rename your original recovery image to recovery-backup and place on your sd card. Install flashrec and either reboot or open it and press restore backup image

I have ran nandroid back to 1.5. i dont think that i am doing this right. i dont think that i have the original recovery image. is it the one that is "recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img" i also have one that is in the nandroid folder. I am lost and a dumbass. Please hold my hand though this process.

Okay go here and download flashrec then place it on your sdcard and install it. then reboot your phone (don't know why but sometimes it doesn't work till you reboot) then open up flashrec and press restore backup and you should be back to stock

Right on the root of your sdcard. And you may know but others might not but the root of the sdcard is just on the sdcard but not inside any folders.

MD5 Sum Mismatch

Ive happened to this to me twice and idk what do.
i tries the flashable zip fix and didnt work, and i know i didnt rname it or have spaces. i can still flash and all but it just bothers me i cant restore to my stock backup ( my first back up)

Have you changed recoveries since you made the backup? I've heard that may affect it, though I'm not positive.

so there come on out with the name callling
FYI, you can restore an amon ra backup using cwm. All you need to do is move the backup from the nandroid folder on your sd to the clockworkmod/backup folder. MD5 mismatch is different entirely, here's a thread about fixing it for those who may fid this thread in a future search http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114

Volume boost?

Hi Folks.
I've been looking around for some time but didnt found it, so i'm asking
Is there is any way to boost up volume of conversation in sgs+ 2.3.6 stock rom?
I've allready set the volume to the max and its way to quiet for me
especailly when im in city traffic.. Any app or script for make it happen?
Cheers
I think the vitality kernel was able to boost the volume.

Im new to all that android and linux thing so need to read a little bit more i suppose. I was hoping for some kind of script (copy and execute) or maybe editing some lines somewhere, that kind of stuff.
Really no other way that flashing to custom kernel? (Im little bit worry bout warranty as its samsung)

either way, editing something in system (requires root),and BOOM-there goes your warranty
did you try some volume+ apps in google play?(you will still have your warranty but not sure if the app itself works what it is supposed to)

Thats where u wrong, I'v allready rooted my phone, theres easy wasy to unroot it when needed so you still have your warranty (except of situations where phone is bricked or unable to preform unroot od course)
I''ve tried some of google play apps but all they do is enhance sound of players but not the conversation it self...

Ive get this nitrality app, there is a option called FULL SYSTEM BACKUP is this is a ROM & kernel backup as well or is it only backing up that efs partition?
So feamode 1.4 can be use for flashing with new kernel, can i also use it to backup existing one?

I think I broke my O2X...help?

Hello! New member here so please excuse me if I'm posting to the wrong forum or anything like that.
Not to take long of your time, I can't get my phone to boot. It shows the 2 LG logos and won't proceed beyond that. So I need to know if there's a way to flash a ROM and a Recovery with it like that.
Thanks for the help.

Can you access CWM? Try to pull out the battery, put it in, press power button + volume down at the same time. Wait til the LG logo appears and release it.

I guess you need to flash the stock ROM by using SmartFlashTool. Its easy to use. There's a thread that has simple instructions.

Really?! That's great to know.
Recovery is v5.0.2.7
ETA: I flashed the ROM I had on before all that mess started and now my phone is working again. I'm not sure if things went awry because AOKP's last build was screwed or because I removed the SDcard before flashing in an attempt to force the phone to use the 5GB of internal memory that has been sitting useless since I got the device.
can't I flash the last owaine version I used?

It is.
I wiped every thing before flashing the ROM and I have a complete copy of all the files I had on the SDcard saved on my PC. As soon as it finishes charging I'll move the TB files back to the SDcard and see if I can restore my apps. Unfortunately, I have to redo my system settings by hand. But I don't really mind.
Thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate it.
