is my nandroid restore frozen?

This is my first time to restore a nandroid backup i recently made. The load bar isnt animated any longer and its sitting on:
"restoring data...
[email protected]"
the first time i pulled the battery after about 5 minutes and rebooted into what appeared to be a partial restore, but the home button didnt work and i powered down before it finished synching my settings. Im on my second attempt, sitting at the same place and its been close to 10 minutes, is this normal or should i just try pulling the battery again and reflashing the rom altogether? I wiped the first time even though my searching said it wasnt necessary, no wipe the second time. here are my unhelpful search results:
http://www.google.com/search?source...s+nandroid+restore+take+on+nexus+one?&qscrl=1
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=did+my+nandroid+restore+freeze?&qscrl=1

Doesn't sound too good i'm afraid & I am of little help either as I too am new to Android ROM flashing - but rather, as a help to others, can you state what type & version of recovery you are using (ClockWorkMod / amon_ra), what Nexus you have (AMOLED / SLCD), whether you have the phone connected over USB when backing up / restoring, android version backed up, what charge level you had etc.
I believe all of these elements can affect your results in one way or another.
e.g, I believe for SLCD, you require amon_ra v1.8.0.1 & some people have reported issues if performing the operations while connected to USB.
Good luck & let us know how you get on.

thanks, i ended up just reflashing the rom because restore kept freezing. I remember usb was not plugged in during backup, it may have been during the first restore, i dont recall, but it was definitely not plugged in the second time. Im just glad no serious damage was done though, i guess i just wont do nandroid anymore ill stick with the rom manager backup method. Im using clockwork recovery

The backup/restore function in Clockwork is the same as what you get in ROM Manager.
I had a restore freeze on me too, during the data segment. Same thing happened twice. Here's what I did to fix it:
1) Booted into Clockwork
2) Wiped cache and data
3) Went into the nandroid menu, "Advanced" restore
4) Restored the data partition *only* - this succeeded where other restores had failed
5) Restored each remaining partition individually as well, also from the Advanced menu
6) Booted up and everything was fine

I've run into a similar hangup before running Clockwork, and fixed it pretty much the same way you did. I've since gone back to Amon's recovery, as its nandroid functions seem to be more reliable.

[Q] Cannot get past splash screen, CAN access clockworkmod

If anybody can help me, I would be very grateful, I'm totally stuck at this point. I think I am having problem with the boot image.
I just tried to flash Revolt Rom 1.3. I previously had Revolt 1.1 and decrapified before that.
I followed the same procedure as before, but cannot get my phone to boot. I just get LG screen > splash screen > Verizon 4G LTE Screen > backlit blank screen and pulsed vibration.
I can get into clockwork mod and see my backups. I tried to flash backups, Revolt ROM 1.1, and Decrapified several times to no avail.
Here is my step by step using decrapified
1) Hold down volume and power (I get permanently Erase Screen)
2) Confirm twice ( I get lg screen then clockwork mod)
3) go to back up and restore > advanced restore > revo_decrap-1.1 > restore system > yes- Restore system
***Sometimes I just get "restore complete!" Sometimes I get "error while flashing boot" But restore seems to go normally***
4) Go to advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache > Confirm wipe Dalvik Cache (I get Dalvik Cache wiped)
5)+++++Go back+++++ > Reboot System Now ( I get same problem)
Any help is much appreciated!!!

Try to use a full recovery from before you flashed the newest update. That will have the full everything including the old boot.img that was working for you. After that reflash the ROM you want as system and everything should be perfect.
Hope this helped.

Thanks for the help. I'm assuming you mean just restore? Not advanced restore of any kind?
I just tried "backup and restore > restore > choose a date > confirm" but unfortunately it didn't help. There were no errors in the restore process. I'll try again with an earlier backup( I have 3 total)
Anything else I could try?
Thanks,
mobiusnc

I just did the same process with an earlier backup (decrapified) and it worked! Not sure what I did differently....but it worked!
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it, I was getting very worried...

Any time dude. Also, I try to keep myself in the habit of backing up before flashing a new ROM and then a few days after installing the new one back up that one. I have a folder on my computer with older versions and I keep a few on my phone as well. I have had to lose a few days before and I hated having to change everything backto how I had it and stuff. I'm stoked I could help you out though.

Hmmm, there still seems to be an issue. I was able to recover to a backup of decrapified. Everything looked good. Then I tried to reflash Revolt1.1, which I had before. I get the blank backlit screen with vibration pulses.
Another clue might be that I only get the 4G "jingle" with the backed up version. Other times it is silent during bootup.
Very strange....any ideas anyone?
I hope I'm not stuck with decrapified-1.1 for ever! I was having problems with the pushed update basically causing the same blank backlit screen with pulse issue. Next I'm going to try the stock rooted rom provided by thecube. Then bed...

I was able to get the rooted stock ROM to work using just "restore", not "advanced restore > system". It does not work using the latter. At least it's a start.
Is there a difference in the boot images between ROMs? I'm guessing yes. If so, could somebody create a boot image for Revolt 1.3? I'd love to try and see if I can get it to work using regular "restore" with a boot image.
mobiusnc

No ROMs other than stock have a boot.img yet. You just have to have the 2 files for the ROM in a folder and then adv restore them to system. If you can get into one of the Revolt ROMs the OTA will no longer be pushed to your phone and I believe you will have it without losing root. Not 100% on that though.

The jingle was cut from Revolt to shave down the size of the install.

Try doing a data wipe and then try again

Me too
I run into this problem with mine every few days. I am able to get up and running by restoring a backup... but that gets annoying. I also returned my first Revolution to Verizon because of this issue. So far I haven't figured out what's causing it. It usually happens when the phone is just sitting in standby minding its own business, then spontaneously reboots to the blank screen. I'll keep experimenting.

ICS Wifi Issue

I have searched for the past thirty minutes and have not found a solution so i decided to post in the place where every person seems to know the answer to every question. Anyways, my tp succesfully got set up in ICS and WIFI turned on at first for me to do my original setup, but after rebooting to flash the charger fix and new kernel, my wifi will not connect. I tried a fresh install to make sure the kernel was not the issue, to no avail. When i try and slide the wifi on/off switch to on it just slides back and clicking on the button does nothing. I also tried to add the power widget to the main screen and hit the Wifi button from there, but that was also borked. Any help would be appreciated.

Try setting your router to a specific channel I put mine on 9 and it works now. I was having wifi issues after reboot but after setting the Chanel on my router they went away

If I forget my network, then reboot, then reconnect it seems to work fine. I tried a few other "fixes" I have read about and nothing else seems to work for me at this point...

The problem is not my network, its the fact that i cannot hit the "on" button for wifi

The OP did make the problem clear!
Looks like a reinstall may be needed.

try fixing permissions from CWM.
If that doesn't work, I suggest to have a look at the logcat entries while trying to switch on and off the Wifi, you may see the reason for the error there.

What version of CM9 is intalled? did you install any special kernel? What channel is your wifi on? (I changed mine from 11 to 1 and it's stayed connected for days now!)
Try a full cache and dalvik cache wipe in ClockworkMod. If that fails, then do a full wipe, re-install and try again from scratch.

This happened to me when I updated to Alpha 0.5. I had to go back and reflash the bricked kernel which i previously installed. I think he made a change to the wifi settings and if I remember correctly he told you how to go back to stock cm9 if you wanted to. But if you installed bricked before that's your problem, reflash it in CWM

bricked kernel uses a different WIFI module, so you need to have both in sync (kernel and driver).
If it worked on first boot, I presume he didn't change the kernel, so something else must be causing his WIFI to fail (fail to start, not fail to connect)
As we mention before, I will go for permissions, cache and get a logcat for the error

Permissions did not work so I wiped and started fresh for the third time....well I guess third time is a charm because I am posting from the TP right now thanks guys.

Clockwork recovery constant rebooting, no wifi + data network

Sorry for the noob post.
I was attempting to install cyanogen, following the full update guide on their wiki
It is currently running the stock rom. and this would be the first time i have tried this.
Installing clockwork mod seemed to go fine, however when i restarted it i could not enable wifi or data network. It also restarted regularly. I performed a factory reset through the settings on the phone, but after that i still cannot connect to wifi or data networks, and the rebooting has increased in frequency so now it will only remain powered up for a few seconds.
I can still access download mode fine, and it does not reboot when on that.
What should I do?

Hey
On which firmware did u install CM9??

well if you formatted user data and everything is clean you can go ahead and install a custom rom or flash a stock rooted rom that is provided in the dev section and the wifi issue should fix itself.

I would suggest the following:
1. Read up on fastboot. This will allow you to recover from most things with this phone.
2. Use fastboot to flash a custom recovery.
3. Use the custom recovery to flash a custom rom.
If this doesn't work... Download the nexus 6 factory images (google will help with this). Then just reflash stock and see if it works.
There's literally 0 reason to root stock before flashing custom roms on this phone.
Also, make sure that you unlock your bootloader.

You could start it in bootloader mode and restore factory.
You could also try another wifi connection (go somewhere else).

As someone mentioned. You need to read up on fastboot.
You softbricked your phone it seems.
Gonna need a PC/Mac/Linux to fastboot it and fix it.

If you did a factory reset, all your personal data was lost, but the stock ROM should still be present. Your phone isn't damaged based upon your posts, but you do need to do some reading and understand what it is you are doing before you do damage your Nexus. Start at the Nexus 6 Sticky Roll Thread and read the tutorial on ADB and Fastboot. Then read the Nexus 6 All-In-One Beginner's Guide.
To resolve the "Checking Connection" issue you're currently having, take out your SIM card and try pressing "Skip" at the WiFi connection screen. If successful, you won't have any connectivity but will have fully booted into Android. From there you can access Developer Options, and enable OEM Unlock. Actually unlocking the bootloader requires a computer, and until the bootloader is unlocked, you won't be able to flash anything to the device. So, start reading.

I don't think that would work.
After factory reset, he'd need to log in to his original account. So needs wifi or internet connection for that (or another phone which can share the same account credentials via nfc). Failing that, as others mentioned flash a useable system to get working wifi.

Shoot, I keep forgetting about factory reset protection. Likely because I have Enable OEM Unlock active.
