Nandroid backup of rooted stock ROM

I've made a nandroid backup of my rooted stock Rom with cyanogen recovery and flashed Modacos FR15 wich worked retty good for me. But after some testing i wanted to change back to my stock Rom. After doing backup of the Modaco I wiped and restored the stock rom backup which refused to boot. I restored the modaco Rom which worked perfect. Any ideas what the reason could be? BTW md5 check before restore was all fine and no errors on restore.

Did you wipe everything? Also Dalvik cache? It worked for me tho, what kind of version are you using for CWM?

CWM is 3.0.2.8 (latest version which i installed via ROM Manager) - as I said - other backups of CM Nightly and Modaco FR15 worked without probs. But I made 2 Backups of my rooted Stock ROM v10c which refuse to boot after restore :/
Wiped all except Dalvik - I thought Dalvik gets wiped when doing Wipe Data / Factory Reset ... but I will try again with wiping Dalvik too.

I tried again to restore this time with dalvik wipe - but no change - boot hangs at the LG logo with the grey/blue loading-bar, the bar is moving some seconds and then stops and nothing happens. :/

try to press power+vol down to reset the phone to factory default. see if it can help...

I've had similar problem.
phone wont boot.
Only way I found out, you can see here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15-03-2011/
but you will loose everything what is on your phone

The reason it won't work, is because MCR converts the file system to ext4 (which CM7 can cope with). To revert to stock, you need ext3 - either
1. Use this to convert back to ext3 and immediately restore the backup (don't reboot or it will go fubar) http://android.modaco.com/content/l...3-for-converting-your-device-er-back-to-ext3/
2. Use nvflash to restore the stock 10b, then flash Clockwork, and then restore your backup.
The choice is yours .

[Q]Stuck on ROM [SOLVED]

kefmaster said:
I fixed it!
I tried installing the older 3xxx CWM from rom manager, and then tried installing the rom but still didn't work. So I just reinstalled the 4.0.0.5 and wiped/flashed EXT3 and everything and now works :S
I don't know if this was some bug, but I got it fixed by just reinstalling CWM. Also the wiping takes a little longer than normal.

I've been flashing ROM's since I got my G1 two years ago, but never had anything like this.
I'm stuck on the Blazingdragon 1.8b ROM, I can only flash that ROM and boot. If I try any other ROM my phone freezes at the LG logo with the loading bar. Even updating to Blazingdragon 1.9b freezes my phone, I tried converting to EXT4 and back but wouldn't help.
Anyone know what to do?
Info:
Recovery: CWM 4.0.0.5
Baseband: 622
Current ROM: Blazingdragon 1.8b

BlazingDragon 1.9b uses EXT3, so you will need to convert to that before installing it, otherwise you'll be stuck on boot.
Use this to convert to EXT3 - http://imperticus.com/android/r1-backtoext3-2x-unsigned.zip

I flashed the back to EXT3 zip and then the Blazingdragon 1.9b, but I'm still stuck on boot.
How long does it normally take to flash the back to EXT3 zip, because mine is done in seconds, is this normal?

If all else fails: Backup, nvflash, root, download cwm, flash it, flash new rom, recover backup

If you're using latest recovery 4.0.0.5, always go to mount and storage in recovery and ensure that system, data, cache all those are always mounted before and after u flash something.

I've used mounted every partition and it still doesn't work.
What I did:
Mount all the partitions
Whipe data/cache/dalvik
Flash back to EXT3
Flash MoDaCo FR19 fear edition 12.1
Flash RIL622
Reboot
Still stuck on the bootloop, did I go something wrong?

First flash 622 then the rom

Change your recovery. Use a older 3.xxx recovery. It should work.

I will try this as soon I'm home

[Q] Dark Knight v3 CWM Restore loop at animation

Just to be clear, you are in bootloop and you cant access cwm? If you cant enter cwm recovery, you can get to download mode? If so, flash stock JVU for example using odin and after that flash desired rom again.

I have performed a backup with cwm backup earlier.
After testing with Galnet MIUI rom, I want to switch back to Dark Knight v3.
I perform a cwm restore.
The system restarted but stay at the animation screen (bootloop?).
I was not able to recover my data from the backup.
Not sure if it is a problem with cwm or the rom.
I have to perform a wipe and reinstall from scratch.

Unfortunately yes. You can try saving files by mounting USB storage in cwm recovery when connected to PC and transfer the files there.

When you did your backup what's your kernel? Somewhere I read that Glitch has some issues with backups, maybe it's your problem.

reflash DK3 with a wipe and then restore from the back up you have made..

I have the same issue. I made a backup, and it gets stuck at animation. Even after wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik and DK3 reflash I still can't get it to work, even tried restoring data only.

I was using semaphore 0.9.1 when I have the looping problem.
Anyone who was able to restore, what kernel were you running?

[Q] About CWM...restoring backups

Hi. Before my Q here's a background of what happened.
1. I made a backup through CWM of my system.
2. Earlier today i tried flashing primehd ver 8 for stock kernel. Standard procedure. CWM > flashed ROM > full wipe etc...
3. Problem = I got stuck on SE's logo. Ok maybe I messed up. reread the threads and asked some Q's and did the steps on #3.
4. Still the same result.
5. What the heck I'll just go back to GDX
6. Flashed ROM and again standard procedure of wiping etc...
7. Rebooted and everything is ok.
8. Went back to CWM and tried to restore the backup that i made. (same CWM version)
My question is why is it after restoring my backup and restarting my phone, I AGAIN got stuck on SE's logo?
Is there no way to restore my backup?
I did try searching before posting this but unfortunately I couldn't find a thread that could answer my Q...
So help... Thanks!
BTW, it wouldn't hurt if someone told me what mistake i made when I flashed primehd (i intentionally flashed ver 8 NOT 9)
Thanks in advance!

If u made a backup of stock ROM (default SE ROM) and u are on the stock kernel(default SE kernel) then u will get no boothangups if u restore...

the problem is you are wiping after flash the rom,you should do it before. some roms needs after some before check the instructions at the op from the rom you want to install.
now if you are stuck to Sony ericsson logo and you can access cwm do the following
full wipe
wipe dalvik
flash rom
about the back up..are you wiping after restore?

I think you're right. I wiped after i flashed primehd cause that's the instruction for gdx. Maybe that's why.
The instruction in the op is for ver 9 but it has a hotfix for stock kernel you need to flash in addition to the rom so i got confused.
For restoring backup i did both. I tried wiping twice (before backup once after). I also tried restoring without wiping. I even followed a thread and advance restored data, fix permissions.
EDIT: thanks for answering. I've decided to restore manually using titanium backup.
A bit of a hassle but at least i don't need to reflash.

If you have already taken a backup then go to CWM-> backup and restore-> restore the backup..

If you've flashed a CM7 rom there's no way to restore a stock rom from backup taken through CWM5. The filesystem format is not compatible.
You'll need to flash stock from Odin.

Yeah, flash a stock firmware with Odin and then when you have done, install cwm recovery (because installing a new firmware erases everything so also your cwm recovery that you had) and try to restore your backup.

*HIT THANKS IF I HAVE HELPED YOU*

Wipe everything then re-flash ROM.
Reboot before flashing anything else.
For stock rom, go to download mode (power+home+vol. down) and connect to PC.
Get stock rom and ODIN.
Check out guide to using ODIN: ODIN for Dummies

format all wipe all install this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962762

You can not recovery stock rom over a CM 7 because the last one reformat the internal partition to EXT4 uncompatible with stock rom. So flash a stock rom with ODIN (possible the same you used for the nandroid backup) than restore.
Inviato dal mio GT-S5830

I think you need to do a full format using ODIN..and reinstall CWM and install CM7 and try to recover your backup from CWM.:good:
