I needed to upgrade my prl so I made a nandroid of CM6.0 stable. Upgraded my prl with fresh then proceeded to restore the nandroid. It gave me the error to run nandroid-mobile.sh in adb.
So, I did what some people said to do. I cleaned my SD card and repartitioned it. I have over 5gb free and still the same error. Help?

Did you rename your nandroid file? I did that a couple times and was never able to restore them until I changed the name of the file back to what it was originally.
+1 you can rename nandroids just as long as you don't use any spaces... you can name it: CM6.October.10 but not CM6 October 10

Really basic question...
I'm running DD2.7, which is AOSP, hence no direct way to update the PRL.
In all the AOSP ROM threads, the protocol to get PRL updated is to:
1. make a nandroid backup
2. restore a nandroid from a Sprint-based ROM (e.g., Fresh or DC)
3. update the PRL from within the flashed Sprint-based ROM
4. restore the nandroid backup of the AOSP ROM
Question: When switching to a new ROM, I've always wiped data first; will going back and forth between ROMs using nandroid backups (for instance, to update a new PRL when available) mess anything up to the point that I'll have to wipe and reflash my daily ROM?
Thanks!
No, as long as you do a proper nandroid you'll be able to restore fine.

Thanks. That part I understand, so I'll clarify: does ROM switching via nandroid restores (obviously without wiping data) have the same negative effect to ROM/phone performance that flashing ROMs (without wiping data) has?
Thanks again!
I haven't had a problem switching between nands without wiping, but it's never a bad idea...to wipe that is.

Hey guys...noob question here. Yesterday I rooted my wife's Hero and it was successful as far as I could tell. I proceeded to do a Nandroid backup via ROM Manager, but at the end of the backup it said something to the effect of "no sd-ext" or something like that.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
You may need to format your SD card....be sure to back up your files on your computer, so you can put them back on there after....

Find out how to put ur phone into recovery via Google then nandroid backup from there. ROM manager is kinda funny acting so try that.

Well, not sure if it matters, but her card already has stuff on it so I'm assuming it's working correctly. Am I supposed to do something to the card prior to backing it up? Do I need to be in some sort of "mode" or check some box in an application? Sorry...still new to this phone.

Thanks for the reply! I've already tried that method as well and I get the same result.
am not sure. but i'd the same msg and when i googled some one answered that "because you do not have any app on the sd card to back up". well makes sense as before root all the apps were installed on the phone memory and not the sd card. Also after back up and restart when i go to the rom manager -> under back up and restore i am able to see the back that i created even with no sd-ext msg...
am not 100% sure but i think it did back up.. still enlighten me..
I searched the forums for my problem but could not find anything that would resolve my problem... Currently i'm using

Try uninstalling and reinstalling. If it's one app and not "apps" then it's probably not the rom.

I had to do a system/data wipe then reflash the rom "teamheroc" but now I'm trying to figure out how to get back the apps I saved to the SD card ... I can get them back if I do a recovery from nandroid but it goes back to a different rom " asop cmod " that I had running when I backed up my phone... Or am I sol and have to download the apps again from the apps store..

Titanium Pro is the best for ROM flashing/backing up...tons of options for saving apps with/without data or system settings (bluetooth,wifi,calendar,etc). Best money I ever spent in the app store. Also tons of batch restore features.

Depending on how technically inclined you are and whether or not you understand everything I'm about to say, you can unyaffs your nandroid data.img and get your apk's. Then you can flash or push them or even install them from your SD card.
Google "unyaffs nandroid". It's not hard to do.

Puzzled???? Do you mean the apps you had moved to your sd??? As in you went.in to settings/applications/manage applications and moved the apps to the sd instead of running them from the phone?? Are you referring to those apps???

After flashing some new roms lately, I've been unable to restore my user apps with data, or else the apps will force close (weirdly, some apps work okay with a data restore, but the vast majority will fc). Also, when trying to restore back to my old rom (AOKP) via Nandroid, I get an error saying cannot mount /data, stopping the process. I tried deleting all my backups, making new ones, flashing stock, and yes I follow the OP exactly. I wanted to see if anyone has ever had this issue either on this ROM or another one. Any help appreciated, thanks.
To restore a Nandroid, you actually have to flash the rom first, then after it fully boots up restore your Nandroid. As for Apps and data, try restoring the apps first, rebooting, then restoring the data.
Referring to your app restore suggestion. That doesn't work. I've tried it

Then i don't what else to suggest. You tried downloading apps fresh, then restoring your backed up data?
Common issue for me. Just wipe data first and it should work. No need to flash the ROM

Use TiBu instead of Nandroid. Only had issue with porting my WiFi settings from GB to ICS.
But in general restoring apps with settings and data is a pain. That prevents me from becoming flash junkie.
I understand your concern with using nandroid. That was just a side statement. The issue is restoring USER apps with data. Why is this occurring now when it has never occurred before

I just want to add that this exact same thing has happened to me on a variety of ICS ROMS (including AOKP M5) and I too follow the installation instructions including wiping and formatting.
Very annoying.

Sorry, sorry. I was specifically referring to the nandroid backup issue. IF while restoring, you can't get past "Cannot mount /data!", THEN wipe data, and continue restoring data by doing advanced restore from there (so you don't have to restore /boot and /system again...)

Ah okay. Thanks for the tip.
So no one has any idea what's the cause of this. Everyone who has come across this issue, including myself, seem to have no clue how to fix it. There's basically an exact same q&a thread on vibrant forums with the same issue and there's like 5 people there who cannot figure out why

What happens if you dl from market without restoring data? Still get fc's?
without restoring data? No FC. After restoring data, FC.
Hey Mikel I just flashed Docs Master v11 which just came out. For the first time in a long time I did not have the app f/c problem at all. Everything ran fine right from TIBU restore.
I flashed this ROM exactly the same way as I've flashed the last few AOKP roms. Hmmmm..

Ok, I will try to give as much information as possible and be concise. I've got an LG Revolution (rooted) on Verizon's network. I'm not sure of the system version but I know it's not Gingerbread. It's an LG-VS910. My whole dilemma started when I watched a Youtube video of a guy showing how to boot into CWM. I had installed ROM Manager and (supposedly) flashed CWM (I've booted into it before using ROM Manager). I followed his instructions and ignored the warning about the reset hoping to boot into CWM. The phone reset. The SIM still read fine but I had lost all my data. I had already backed up my data with CWM. I re-downloaded ROM Manager and went into CWM to restore my backups. Everything restored except /system! After I did this my phone would not boot. I then just went ahead and tried installing a stock gingerbread ROM I had on my SD card (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348637) to restore the phone. I flashed this ROM, then restored my data backup. The phone booted just fine and I had all my data, except the SIM card would not read. I tried another factory reset with the power button and the down arrow, and it actually booted into CWM rather than resetting like before. This is where I'm stuck. I've read that the /system folder won't restore if you have a different system version installed. Same with the SIM. I've about done all that I can do. My ultimatum is to be running GingerVolt 2.0. I think at this point I need to find my original ROM but I don't know where to look! Someone please help!!! I don't know what to do!! Also, CWM wont even let me flash ROM's anymore. It'll either be error 0 or CWM will restart when I try an install. I'm not even sure of my current system version, If I go to "About Phone" in the menu it will crash.
EDIT: I just reset it again with CWM, now It'll just show LG then cut off when I try to boot it. Great. Does throwing it against a wall as hard as I can help? It's sooooo tempting.
The main reason why your SIM isn't working sounds like, to me, that you have a software mismatch. Example: I'm on version 9, then flash gingervolt; gingervolt iirc is built around v6/7. Therefore, my SIM is guaranteed not to work.
Use, lgnpst to flash the system for the Rom you want to use. You might have to redo your carrier flash too, if you not on Verizon. At least that's how I see solving your prob.
software/Rom mismatch = no SIM

Oh ok so if I actually flash a .tot with LGNPST, rather than just flashing a ROM, will the .tot replace all the software and make the SIM compatible again?
So does a ROM just flash over existing core software, and a .tot actually replace that software? Do I need to flash the same software version that I had before anything went wrong? Sorry I'm relatively a noob.
A tot will replace everything (android, boot, recovery, radio, etc).
A Rom is just ANDROID.
Flashing the tot will put your phone back to 'out of the box' like new, condition. And yes, if you want to use gingervolt, if that was what you were using, flash the tot for the version you had before.
