when i try to back up my phone using nandroid it would get stuck when backing up "system" and i am forced to do a battery pull!
its really annoying as i really want to try out other roms without re installing apps
Thanks in advance
How long do u wait until restart the phone?
Try looking a new version of your openrecovery, I use androidiani
At least 40 mins and thanks I'll try the link

Instead of start two identical threads on development and general topics, just do a search.
Here is my answer for an identical question a few days ago:
parads said:
This has happened to me some times. I've read in some place that it's a common error if you have more than 3 or 4 bakcups on the nandroid folder (it doesn't matter how much free space you have).
Since I keep 2 or 3 nandroid backups on SD, I haven't any problem with this.
I hope this work for you.

The same problem for me with Androidiani OR 3.3 and I have no backup on nandroid folder.
Nandroid backup stuck at "Dumping.." system or data till the battery's empty, and there no data backed up, so I have to use Titanium Backup for backing up data
Sometimes it works if you format your card and download a fresh copy of AOR. Make sure you backup your sdcard before formatting it.

thanks alot.
it works.
I had the same problem a few days ago. just replace the current openrecovery with the FuFu one found in the dev section. And then copy the nandroid backups from the old recovery and paste them in the new one. The problem should be solved....

Update: still not working
Reformatted my sd card, using fufu OR but still not backing up
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
on androiid-hilfe.de there are also some people who have this problem too, but no solution at this time...
for some people it works when they have format the sdcard over the milestone settingsmenu and redownload the OR...
i don't have any problems with nandroids, but sometimes the OR just freeze and i can't do anythink, i think its an main problem, but don't know how to solve...
if you have a second sdcard, test if it work with it, may your sdcard is damaged...

Here's what I do.
First, download mini partition tool for formatting the SD card (http://download.cnet.com/Partition-Wizard-Home-Edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html), don't forget back up the sdcard before doing format.
after formatting complete, copy your back up to your sdcard, and then copy the fresh OR (I'm using the androidiani OR 3.3 (http://code.google.com/p/androidiani-openrecovery/download/list) to your sdcard.
Go to openrecovery and do the nandroid.
On my case the nandroid backup is success.
Hope it works on you too.
Hey could you check if the Nandroid backup is created? in my case, the process stopped at the System Backup. But when I did a battery pull and booted to recovery, I found that the Nandroid was indeed created...
Ye it did make a back up after a pull but the only thing that was missing was the system file

I had this problem last week. The nandroid would fail when it hit my Ext2 partition, and I'd have to do a battery pull.
I put the card in my laptop using an SD adapter and ran a chkdisk on it in windows 7. Sure enough there were errors on the card that needed repairing. After that, nandroid worked perfectly.
I've had the error as well once before, and that required a bit more work. My milestone came with a 16gb card, but I upgraded to a 32gb card...still have the 16gb in reserve 'just in case'. And it's a lucky thing I do. I deleted my music off the 32gb card to make room, and then used the previously mentioned minitool partition wizard to clone my 32gb card to the 16gb card.
nandroid worked on the 16gb card without any problems.
So i wiped the 32gb card (deleted all partitions from it) and then cloned the 16gb card back to the 32gb card...
nandroid started working again.
Since most people probably don't have spare cards like that lying around, you SHOULD be able to replicate what I did by using a regular SD card or even a USB stick.
Hope any of that helps.
Nandroid never works for me also....

Fixed.... it was my dodgy 16 gb micro sd so I'm now using the 8gb supplied and is now working

HI Friends, i have a doubt in my mind.
Suppose i have already rooted my device and clockwork mode recovery is there.
Since i tried a lot of ROMs , my SD card is full of unnecessary files.
I want to format my SD card within phone setting.
After Formatting the SD card my clockwork mode recovery still be there and my device will be still in rooted.(This is what i want)
Please let me know.
Yes if you wipe your SD you will still be rooted with custom recovery. Same as if you take out your SD card, you are still rooted

Sure as said these things are in your ROM not on the SD card. Ever tryed to connect your phone to PC or maybe better take your SD card out and connect it to the PC directly to backup things first before reformating? I always store my nandroid backups and more there and than delete the oldest ones.

Yes, you will be rooted but ROM backups will be removed, if there is any.
Thanks to you guys for your quick response. Really this forum rocks...
Currently , i am using zeus 6.39, Now i am going to format and flash zeus 7.1 ROM.
I just updated to Zeus 6.4 on friday and will probably try 7.01 in a few days.
Zeus 7.01 is very nice and fluid but only thing I don't like is the dark color in messaging.
hi there, got two galaxy notes at home, one is mine one is my GF's
hers got a scratch and she's very sad about it. since i don't mind that much i am willing to swap our devices.
what's the best way of doing it now?
i'm sporting a rooted and paranoided rom, she's on stock.
just rooted her's with philz latest kernel, i'm currently backing her phone up
will it work if i just swap the sdcards and perform a restore on both phones?
i'll just have then to swap internal sd cards using a pc isn't it?
thanks guys.

I think there'll be data corruption as it's between stock and cm based as they're different frameworks, most things should be ok, but I think some apps will not restore ok. It might be easier to do a titanium backup of data and just restore that rather than setting etc.
Much the same with sd card as the mount points are different.

well, i tried to backup on an external SD her phone but it was too small for the task so i just made the backup on the internal memory of the phone.
now i saved all the content of her internal memory on my pc and am about to do the same with my own.
i will try to copy then my own note's data on her note and vice versa then restore the backups.
would that not overwrite any framework?

The framework is built in to the rom, so not over writable. To do a safe transfer make your new phone cm based then you can safely transfer. If your gonna leave it as tw, then it won't work.

So long as you have safe kernel in the one you're restoring to it should be fine. That being said, it's likely you'll have to perform full wipes to have secure boot up between cm based and Touchwizz.

got it done. it worked flawlessly to port the stock to the other phone, just had some headache with mediascanner but solved it removing external sd card
the other move was a lil more painful becouse i forgot to copy the right backup... so had to flash everything again. lucky me i had a titanium backup laying around...
Good news mate, well done.

Hello guys. I have a Ace S5830 in CWM 5.0.2.6 and just flashed Maclaw's CM 9 RC3. Now i'm trying to restore my backup to the SD card. I connected the USB and opened kies but it's not recognising my device. Then i went to the removable disk and it says please insert a disk into F:/
So how can i restore my backup to the SD card?? thank you
Go into recovery, click mounts and storage, and then plug into computer. Then, mount usb mass storage and device should be recognised. also, make sure you have the correct drivers for your Samsung.

But is there no other way to do it? I mean i've used kies for backup and restore until i used this ROM. So because of this ROM kies isn't recognising my device?
Ac. to my knowledge ur phone is rooted n the warranty is expired so Kies wont recognize ur cell.
hit thanks if helped
Chuck that Kies !
Dude ! Kies has always sucked !
Why don't you just forget that !
and the reason for kies not detecting you device might be because your device is rooted.I'm not sure about that !
But you can go to CWM recovery ....then mounts and storage and select "MOUNT SD CARD"
Then select "MOUNT USB STORAGE" and connect it to ur pc and transfer what ever you want.
That's the Quickest way ! :good:
Also, next time, try to back up with the app called titanium backup as it is universal for all phones and highly recommend.

Hey i did all that and i found that i already had the files on my SD card. I'm able to access music and photos but not apps! And my contacts are gone. very confused
I did what u guys said and i copied the files in my backup to the F:/ and it started copying and while it was copying fruit ninja.asec from .android secure and then it hangs. Then when to access F:/ it says there is an I/O device error. So i tried again and same thing...Any suggestions?
kise sucks, the only purpose of kies is for our phones to be detected, we needed the divers of kies..haha never to use it as to back up..CWM is the best when backing up sytem and image
If your contacts were saved onto your Google account, they should sync automatically when you sign in. If not, you have to have backed up the contacts by exporting them to either the sim or sdcard. If you did not do that, then you cannot get them back. Also, im not sure about the app sync problem, but if you go to play store and sign in with the same account as before, you can go to my apps and redownload them from there. Hope i helped

Ohhh. Ok i lost all my contacts forever then I signed into my google accounts and apps aren't there in "my apps" but they're there in "all apps".
But before flashing the ROM( that i currently have) i backed up all the data to the PC! I checked on my SD card and found that all the data was there but the apps weren't there on the phone! So then i recopied the backup (on my PC) to the SD card but then i had tat problem i mentioned above.
Well i had 2.3.6. stock before i rooted and got maclaw's ICS ROM and i partitioned 256M of my SD card using CWM. Does that affect anything?
Thx a lot! Sorry i'm very new to all this

I guess you din't get it right ! Read the below carefully now and hit the THANKS button if you understood and if it was helpful
See since you din't sync your contacts to Google Account or moved it to the SIM card it's gone forever ! Nothing can be done !
It was useless backing up with kies ...so next time just don't open that idiotic software !
You should have backed up using CWM Recovery ! But never mind ..you are new to this
You are able to access you photos,songs and other stuff because they are stored on your SD card and by rooting or flashing a ROM ..nothing happens to your SD card !
After flashing a ROM ..your apps wont remain there ...because you factory reset your phone before flashing a ROM !
But still your app data will remain in SD card ...meaning ...Suppose before flashing a ROM u used to play a game on ur STOCK firmware and u had completed 5 levels of that game and that gets saved on your SD card ..now if you install that same Game on ICS AOSP ROM now ..you will find those 5 levels completed
So you need to download your apps again from Google play ! and partitions dont cause any problem
Wohaa !! That was the Longest ..I Have typed on XDA ;p
No it shouldn't affect anything, but just to clarify, what version of clockwork do you have? Also, were you able to reinstall the app from play store?

Yeah i know that i erased my SD card data. I downloaded the apps again but the app data isn't the same as when it was on stock.(for example i had fruit ninja where i unlocked everything but now it's all lost and same with other apps also) So maybe something is wrong?

First of all ..I don't get it ..why you need that back up ?
No ! No ! Nothing like that ..you won't have these problems all the time !
BTW..which ROM are you using now ?
That backup has the saved data such as level progress and all in my apps. I'm using the same one ICS RC4 by Maclaw.

See to restore your backed up data ..you don't have to move those backed up files to ur SD card that won't do the job.
Since you have backed up using kies you will have to restore through that software only !
Hi all,
I noticed that my internal sd card has two 0 folders, they are like so
Sdcard/0/0/
Everything from internet saves on the first /0/Download for ex., i am now on arhd 51, but previously on archidroid everything saved inside /0/0/Download, is there any way to fix this, or repartition or something without need to wipe all the data in sd? Because everything is messed up and i don't know any more wich uses what folder and so on.
Thx in front.

can you post some screenshots of the two folders and their content, perhaps i can tell you what to do?
Edit: you can also copy all the files in one of the 0 folders to the other 0 folder and delete the empty one, i asked for screenshots just to make sure if there is any important file in one of those folders that maybe will cause problems with functioning of other apps or system settings if you replace it.
Here is the /0/0/ and i cannot delete archidroid folder or clockworkmod folder (write protected), also if i copy pictures from 0/0/DCIM/Camera to 0/DCIM/Camera, they are not shown, even after reboot when mediascanner is running, when i transfer them back they are imediately shown.
Edit: i can delete archidroid and clockworkmod folder, but via phone, not via pc, but the probem with transfering pictures to now used DCIM still persists.

oke bro, here is what you should do everything personal and important to you like pics./music/documents copy to your external sd card or to your pc if possible both should be safe. format your internal sd card of the phone in recovery mode after everything is restored back put your files back into proper folders and all should be fine again. you are rooted and have custom recovery installed right?

Yes of course i'm rooted with twrp, i tought there was some other way than getting in all that copy paste, but i'll do that and then it must, just must work.
I think i messed something up in archidroid installation when it asked for EXT4 repartitioning or something like that.

Yes, i know now for future, but, one more question..
It's 'calculating time for copy...' now, i see it'll take ages to 'calculate', so, is there any option to just mount the internal sd card, i remember i could mount it via CWM on my old S2 and everything went quick, but i cannot mount just SD anymore, only as a 'Media device', it seems quite slower..
Do you know an option to do that?

I do recommend using philz touch CWM advanced edition or just the CWM touch version as a recovery choice (especially philz) rather than Twrp, but its all up to you..
I was on philz quite a while, now testing twrp, i did the wipe, everything's perfect now, but i accidentaly deleted my pics coz' they were in the 0/0/ and i deleted the second 0 thinking i don't need it
I got a little shock but i'll recover
