It seems the lagfix screws up nandroid backups. I suggest uninstalling it then creating your backup.
You have to first flash ClockworkMod then do your backup. I do this by going into recovery just below the clockwork flash. Once getting into recovery menu choose the option for Nandroid, be patient it can take a full 10 minutes or more just be patient and let do it's thing. It may appear to hang but just let it run, it will take longer on certain files.

Gunny it just takes a little bit to get through that part. I thought the same thing but I just left it alone and it just took an extra few minutes and it did get through it.

I've never had a problem running nandroid backup and i'm using one of the lagfixes (damned if i remember which). I'm still using stock however, until the 2.1 (or even 2.2?) ROM scene gets a little more seasoned.
Must be just me then. I couldn't get nandroid backup/restore to work

Nandroid does work with the lagix one click or ext4, people are impatient and panic when it isn't instantly zipping through processes. I ran one last night and I am running ext4 and SRE.

I just watched the 3 part You Tube Video on Flashing Cognition ROM to Captivate,I need to ask 3 things. First the video shows the One Click Root method though computer. I already have my root rooted with z4root app is this OK. After the new ROM is on the guy went to Market and got Ti Backup and he side loaded it can't you just load Std. way though Market?( I have the Paid Ver. of Ti Backup) Third question on the video he stated to use "restore All Apps with Data" but written on the Screen says to use "Restore Missing apps with data",which is it? I hope this my last question but I really want to sure of what I am doing before I try this.
Thanks for help
Would have been better suited in the General forum, but..
Rooting with z4mod = fine.
Getting TiBu from market = ...fine.
Restore all apps with data = literally restores all of your backups and data
Restore missing apps with data = restores apps that are not installed on the phone, ignoring ones that are installed on the phone.
Best to ask in Q&A section, but I'll still help you out.
1. Yes, that's fine. The way you root it doesn't matter, as long as it's rooted.
2. Not sure why he'd go to the Market to get it then sideload, but yes, you can get it straight from the Market, but make sure you know how to keep your donate version after a flash, as flashes (usually) wipe /data.
3. Restore Missing Apps with Data.
Thanks guys I really wasn't sure where to Post this. Yes I have Backup of Ti Backup folder on my computer.
Thanks again

Yes. I have odin on computer and I have checked to make sure I can get into 'Download Mode". I have also load ROM Manger and made Image file of my Stock 2.1.1 ROM and have saved on Computer along with Pictures,Ringtones and have Contacts saved to Sim card.
Sounds like you're good to go then! Definitely made a lot more precautions and backed up a lot more than I did the first time, and that's definitely a good thing!

When you toggled to safe mode, which.toggle option did you select? One will back you up and the other one won't I don't believe.

I didn't flash any roms just rooted running the exploit and then enabled toggle safe system so I should probably just reboot and be fine but I just want to make sure
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Once you toggle to safe, then you flash ics. Even if it didn't back up your original system, the worst that should happen when going back to your normal system is that it will take you back to a fresh install and you will need to set your accounts back up and reinstall your apps

If you don't flash ics (or any rom) when your in safe mode and reboot your phone, it won't load because there isn't a version of android there.

I believe I have mine in internal. I think you can install it from either location.
You may want to clear the cache and stystem data before flashing if you didn't. Sometimes that helps.

I would like to flash Gingervolt to my revo. Every thread I look at says that the first step in doing so is to use CWM to make a back up.

Don't flash gingervolt yet. Are you using froyo, or gingerbread? Then you need cwm, which is part of our oneclick program in the development section. Then you make that back up.

Ok so I put CWM on using one click or whatever. I used quick boot to go into recovery. The Rom manager logo was there and it says CWM- Based Recovery V5.0.2.7. I pressed back up and backed up my entire system and that is the last thing I have done. My question is if i were to mess something up how would I make my phone go to the previous back up. Also am I ready for gingervolt now?

Get rid of rom manager. You do not need it. There is no good that will come of it. To many things can go wrong lol.
Use the all in one, it has a reboot recovery option now, after installing and it reboots, select reboot recovery. If it goes into it, then you are all set.

How do i get back my stuff should something go awry. Once I get over that fear I press install zip from SD card and then I am done after I reboot. And this is all done in CWM.

if you are already rooted, install Titanium Backup or Ultimate Backup or ROM Toolbox from the market they are all useful tools to back up all of your apps. Then wipe data, flash Gingervolt, then use backup program to restore your apps..

You do not have to wipe data, it is an option if you want a clean start. I would run your phone as it is for a couple Weeks and if it acts up, then consider a data wipe when other options have been used.

After looking into trying a custom rom for my rooted thrill I decided to try out CyanogenMod 7.2.0 just to test the waters because it was my first time flashing a rom on my thrill. I had some issues but was finally able to flash CyanogenMod rom on my thrill. I liked it a lot and it seemed to be working fine but it was plugged into the charger cause it was late at night. The next morning I unplugged it and went to work... Normally my stock thrill will last me my whole shift which is 8 hours plus travel time. By the time I get off of work my phone still in the green. Anyway by around first brake I noticed the battery was half gone this was in only three in a half hours by 4 hours it was in the red pretty much dead... Any ideas or suggestions? Btw I am back to stock gb but still was to try a custom rom and I really liked CyanogenMod 7.2.0
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
Try using the latest nightly. It seemed a lot better with battery drain. Also once you've flashed the nightly, charge to 100%, go to recovery and under advanced menu, wipe battery stats. Let the phone run till it dies and see if that helps.

I'm kinda afraid to retry and flash another rom on my phone...The first time I did it and tried to recover my stock rom I backed up it said it wasn't there or it did not exist. So I had to reinstall the original att gb rom and lost everything. Do I have to make a new backup of my rom every time I flash?
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
No, but you will want to store it on your external SD card or transfer your stock backup to the PC to be safe. When you wipe before flashing you may wipe the area your backups are contained. Once you have them in a safe place you can flash without worry. If anything happens you can mount your SD card through recovery and transfer a backup then restore it. Get comfortable with making backups before flashing and what to do when a problem does occur. Panic can lead to bad mistakes.

Yeah that's exactly what I did and now I am flashing at a more comfortable level. And I did find my original backup and was able to flash my thrill back to where I had it. For some reason it won't show up in recovery mode, the only way I was able to flash it was through cwm. Now I'm running promethius Project Rom v1.5 with no idea kernel. I have flashed other kernels also. I want to flash another rom but hate setting everything up again lol like home screens, launchers, widgets, and reinstalling all my apps I have on my sd card.

Check out titanium backup and ROM toolbox Pro (its worth paying for). Those two apps will get your old apps restored and restore the data (titanium backup) and give you all the tools you may need to tweak your ROM and customise it. ROM toolbox has root browser, ROM manager, CPU control, scripter and tons of others in one app. With those two apps you can have everything back how it was (besides home screens, which some launchers do allow you to make a backup) and anything else you need to get it running how you like.
