I am in the process of disabling speedmod lagfix in order to flash Fasty 2.4. Nandroid backup is complete. It then switched to new configuration with the following:
Backup completed
Backup completed, recreating file system
Unmounting
Switching to new config
Creating /data
Creating /dbdata
Creating /cache
Mounting test
Unmounting again
Restoring data
Checking MD5 sums...
Restoring data...
net.bitbased.mwallpaper.zip
It has been hanging on the last line for over 15 minutes. I don't remember this being an issue when I enabled lagfix. Any ideas what I can do?
Decided to take action into my own hands and rebooted. Phone started up with stock Froyo. Transferred Fasty from my computer to phone and flashed it. Took less than 10 minutes to be up and running. What a relief! Proceeding with restoring all my apps and fine tuning Fasty. Looking forward to great things.

what to do help
PM Sent....dont worry mate
Special thanks rixsta
you ma man xD
yesterday i did a nandroid backup because i wanted to update my PRL (so i flashed to a sense rom and then did a nandroid restore - had no problems at all). today i was looking at my free space on the phone and it was in the 60's - i remember when i first installed this months ago i had about 260 MB, and i barely have any apps, so i thought i'd run firerat's again. i don't know what happened, but i can't boot the phone - sits at the HTC screen and then goes to recovery. i tried doing a nandroid restore about 5 times - from the phone's recovery, once in fastboot, and once in adb on the computer. it says it's successful, and the system, recovery, boot and data files are 64.4 MB, 5 MB, 2.5 MB, and 308 MB so I know the info is on there (plus it worked yesterday).
if i do a 'df -h' though, it shows /dev/block/mtdblock4 using 1.1 MB mounted on /cache and that's it (well, it shows tmpfs at 0 MB too, but those are the only 2 things that show). what's weird is, if i do a 'df -h' WHILE the nandroid is restoring, it shows 61.3 MB in /system and 120.9 MB in /data. but once it's successful, all that goes away.
so, what could be keeping the backup from sticking??? any ideas?
i hope this makes sense - i tried to give as much info as i could, but keep in mind i have no idea what most of this means. lol. thanks for any help you can provide.
Try doing a full wipe - system/cache/boot/dalvik before you nand restore.
i had this problem once before, but for me it was due to the nandroid backup running out of space during the backup. it looked good, but it wouldn't restore.
lol, what's weird is that i DID wipe like 5 times and had no luck. for some reason, u telling me to do it made it work! (no, i'm not being sarcastic!). this time i used Fresh Kitchen to wipe the catch tho...for some reason i guess it wasn't fully wiping in recovery.
THANKS!
As long as is worked... we are good!
My best bud was complaining about how slow his stock SGS was so I decided to help as I've fixed about 20 phones now without any issues! Until now!
Problem
Lost Contacts which were stored to phone memory
Lost memos
Almost all programs are Force Closing
History
Installed clockwork recovery as per Cyanogen Wiki page (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide)
Then using the new SpeedMod kernel by Hardcore, I rooted the phone and also converted the file system to EXT4 to ensure the lagfix worked nicely
The Recovery automaticalled generated a Nandroid back-up before the file system conversion took place.
When phone started, a lot of programs Force Closed, so we ran a Fix Permissions and this solved most problems. However, a few days have passed and now the phone is constantly FC. The loss of contacts and memo's was annoying but he wasn't too bothered as had various back-ups
So I tried a Nandroid restore which works apart from system.img which it cannot find.
I wonder if the system.img backup doesn't work since the file system was changed to EXT4? Do you think if I push the nandroid backup using ADB, it will successfully restore the phone with contacts and memo's too?
That's why I never touch someone else's phone. Always something goes wrong that never gone on my phone.
Sounds like you need to do...
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
...in clockworkmod to make a clean install.
If your friend didn't set up a syncronisation in "Accounts and sync" between google and the phone, AFAIK you cannot revert back contacts and memos
After turning the file system to EXT4, it removes backups.Because its not a nandroid backup. Just backing up your files before the partition formatting. So, no luck.
I'm not a android expert, so I might be wrong about it.
Hi everyone!
After a year or so of using cm7.2 on the i9000 i'm now facing a reproducible boot loop:
As it occured the first time, i made a nandroid backup via cwm, did a factory reset and reinstalled cm7, which resolved the bootloop. As i restored the data from the nandroid backup, the bootloop occured again and kept doing so when i tried the whole procedure again.
Is there any way to get the data (SMS/Contacts/Apps etc.) back without the bootloop?
Every suggestion is highly appreciated, thanks in advance!
According to Google, SMSs are stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db, and contacts are stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/contacts.db (but they should be synced to your online Google account). Apps are stored all over /data/data I think.
i have accessed the backup via yaffey and found it, thanks.
the following might be a stupid question, but: how can i insert the exported files into the fresh flashed cm7?
Titanium Backup only let me restore the system files, but nothing from data/data :/
You could try to overwrite it (after backing up the current files) but I don't really know. I suspect these are simple Sqlite databasefiles.
Hey,
I have an i9000 (Obvious) which, I put in the freezer (please don't ask me why). So, the problem is I had put it at a Live OC of 120% and opened antutu benchmark and put it in the freezer. I know that my phone hangs if I open some heavy apps at 120%. So, that is what happened with the phone while benchmarking. So I had to force shutdown and when I turned it on, it first showed me the error of "Process System is not responding". I clicked on wait. Well, the Status Bar wouldn't turn on and I assumed that the System UI was retarded at the moment. So I factory reset and flashed ROMs multiple times. BUT, I lost access to /data and /system. So I tried restoring, and it did Restore but didn't work, same stuff happened.
So, Ultimately I flashed Stock ROM and tried flashing another ROM again but no. No access to /data or /system. I did this multiple times until I realised I have access to /system and /data and am able to mount them via the CF-ROOT Kernel and that the Stock ROM works fine. Please help!
EDIT: I just forgot to format /system and /data before switching from GB to KK
