[Q] Nandroid Backup Rom Installation Problem.

Hi guys, im trying to get the HO!NO rom installed on my Milestone, but im not getting. On the main thread of the ROM, have no walktrough installation and i didn`t find anywhere else. Im too usued with normal ROM installation, as CM7 and MIUI.
Can some1 please give me some idea ? Some thread i should go ?? Searched on almost all threads in development forums and got no answer.
Thanks, hope get it soon.
Bye !

If you have used openrecovery, its very easy. Copy the HONO zip file to the /nandroid/openrecovery folder in your sdcard and use the nandroid restore all option.
The folder gets created automatically if you have created a nandroid backup earlier, else create it manually.
Wipe all if you are flashing it over another rom apart from CM7. There are many topics on using nandroid in the development thread.
Have you never used nandroid before? Also I suggest using Androidiani OR.

I will start the procedure just now. Im thinking in flash the new CM7 that was released today, and then i just install the HO!NO recovery ? In my sdcard don`t have this folder, so i have to create it ? i saw somewhere a folder named /nandroid/abdrecovery.
But as u said, i have to create a /nandroid/openrecovery.
I will try now. See what happens.
Tryed now, and created the /nandroid/openrecovery folder and put the .zip in there.
Didnt recognized when i try to recover. Should i extract ?

Yes. Extract the contents of the zip file so that you have a folder with image files inside.
Sorry abt missing it in the previous post. That's what happens when you start typing in your sleep.
Please use AOR.

Thanks, will try again.

Well, i extracted and still didnt recognized. I did this way:
/nandroid/openrecovery/ let the files on the ROOT, not in HO!NO folder. All on openrecovery root.
Are u sure that is the folder i have to create ?
Thanks again.

Hi again, i guess i made it. Instead of letting files on the root, let it on the HO!NO folder and the openrecovery recognized as a recover.
Now, the weird part is that don`t seems to be ALL working. On the HO!NO topic, the pics he posted have a THEME, and mine appears to have no theme, just a regular one.
Am i doing something wrong ? Thanks!

Guys, i still didnt make it. Flashed CM7 (wiping everythin), then installed the OH!NO! recovery. It`s working weird. I install programs, and when reboot the phone, the programs are not on the list.
I don`t know what to do.
Guess i will back to normal CM7 release.

[Q] Trying to restore stock firmware, aborted each time

Hey All, have google and googled for the past week but nothing specific to this issue I'm having.
I want to restore my stock firmware so I can get OTA updates! I didn't make any sort of backup when I began playing with different roms. I have htc_039 unbranded aus htc one. Bootloader has been unlocked with S-on and TWRP installed.
Downloaded Deevans/bugsys nandroid backup that matched my phone details (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41368105&postcount=375&nocache=1&z=2030115523399023) but there isn't any sort of instructions on installing these.
When i have tried to flash the rom I get "installation aborted" and when playing with fastboot it has given me messages that it cannot find certain .txt files (something like android.txt and a few other ones.
Could someone please tell me what im doing wrong or list the instructions to install this? I don't know if I have to lock the phone again, restore the recovery file first, no idea!!! Or is there anyway to turn the Android Revolution 12 image to get OTA (i dont think so)?
If you need any further phone info I will post.

Can anyone help with this?
When I try to flash the file in TWRP it starts and stops at "Updating partition Details".
What have i not setup right? Have been using these resources:

Hi,
I'm new to the htc one so not sure here but from what I understand and anyone please correct me if wrong - but if it's Deevans nandroid 1.29.980.2 (Australia unbranded) it's a CWM backup and I don't think they work in TWRP.
So think you would have to flash CWM, then flash "restore" nandroid from CWM or find a TWRP nandroid.
Also think you need s-off before you do ota as no way to gain s-off with revone on updated hboot 1.54 yet.
Hope this helps.

Thank for the reply
I have tried to install this with CWM which gave me those first missing ".txt" files. I will give it another go with CMW and post the results.
I will also S-OFF before doing the above.

Phone is now S-off and put CWM as the loader. Tried the zip file again and says:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
I have also downloaded the file twice to confirm its not corrupted and it opens through winrar with no problems.
Any other suggestions?

I would try restore it like a backup, so unzip and put files in your CWM backup folder.
Not sure how CWM backup folder looks but in TWRP it's like /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/... or /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/...
So I would try unzipping and copy files (boot, data, recovery, system) to /sdcard/CWM/BACKUPS/folder/put files in here - then boot to recovery and try "restore" option and browse to backup folder. You could probably copy the files to any folder on the sdcard and restore from recovery not sure.

Thanks for your suggestion and that was going to be my next question. The file I mentioned in the first post is x.xxx.xxx.zip (x as the numbers) and inside that zip is a folder with the same name x.xxx.xxx and inside that folder are all the files.
I tried putting the folder only in CMW but wont detect it, tried it with the .zip file and fails. Have now just put all the files into the folder and tried again with same failure.
There is a very long error in the recovery.txt file it made, don't know if its any use but the first line that pops out is:
Starting TWRP 2.6.0.1 on Fri Aug 2 06:23:49 2013
BOARD_HAS_NO_REAL_SDCARD
I put the file into this link if you know of anything, makes little sense to me. http://pastebin.com/Tvp2Qp2X

Are you using TWRP recovery? or CWM recovery?

I have now tried both TWRP and CWM and fails, also have installed ROM manager and another one I cant recall from play store. Also booted into recovery and went to the 'restore' option from the menu but cant find any directories..
I dont know if this has anything to do with it but noticed in the contents of the file:
ARCHIVE: cache.ext4.tar
ARCHIVE: data.ext4.tar
ARCHIVE: system.ext4.tar
boot.img
cache.ext4.tar.a
data.ext4.tar.a
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
recovery.log
system.ext4.tar.a
system..ext4.tar.b
Not to get ahead of myself but HTC ONE is ext2or 3 by default, its not something simple as having to change it to ext4? Its just something that stood out.

Just done google search on CWM backup location and seems to be /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup - so you could try copy the zip and/or files there and try restore from CWM recovery and see if that works.

Interesting that there was no 'backup' folder inside that folder. Have created it and putting the files and zip in there now.
Was also googl'n and found this article:
http://miuiandroid.com/community/th...d-restore-error-while-restoring-sd-ext.15611/
Someone mentioned to now open the zip file when it downloads. I'll try your suggestions and this and let you know what happens tomorrow.
Thanks again

Morning,
Have downloaded the .zip file again twice and put it onto the SD and clockwork Mod backup folder and it has aborted again.
Any ideas on what to try from here?

[Q] CWM restore fails

Hello @ all,
I´ve made a CWM backup on my external sdcard. Now I want to restore this backup and all I get is an error saying MD5 mismatch. I read a while in this board (which often saved my life) and found out, that I had to delete the file nandroid.md5 (which even didn´t exist in my backup-folder). So i created a new, empty file. But no change, restoring my backup was not possible.
So please give me some hints what to do..
Thanks a lot,
Michael

Open a terminal shell, navigate to your NANDROID backup folder, and issue "md5sum *.tar.*> nandroid.md5"

[Q] CWM Recovery

Hi,
So I have placed a nandroid backup file in '/data/media/clockworkmod/backup/ yet when I reboot in to recovery, I can only see the backup file I created earlier, not the one copied across.
Does the file have to be named something particular ?

What do you mean by "backup FILE"? it should be a whole directory (ie folder) named something "yyyy-mm-dd.hh.mm.ss" (unless you rename it).
Are you sure it's in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/ and not in /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup/?

Thanks for your response,
Its in the following folder: /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/
the name is not in the format you suggested or similar to a previous backup. The backup file itself I have received from another forum member which I am attempting to use to restore to stock

You probably have to unzip the file you received on your PC, and then copy the folder to your phone.

[Help] Unable to delete folder w/root access

I'm unable to delete a folder named '3Minit Download' from the previous user. The folder contains a ton of images that I cannot delete and create a problem when I try to upload my gallery because the photos from the folder update as well, over 300.
My Sig contains the rom I'm on. When I received the phone, I wiped and replaced the image for rooting and flashing purposes. I figured doing so would remove whatever was on the phone but it did not.
I have tried changing the permissions to the folder but I receive the message attached...
Any would would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Use the file manager in twrp to delete the folder "3Minit Download"
and or delete the all files and subfolders folders in "3Minit Download"
Reboot the phone.
Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion. However, when I try to delete the folder in TWRP (2.8.7.4), it says to 'swipe right to delete' but there is no slider so it won't delete.
Any other ideas? Willing to try just about anything.

There is something wrong with your twrp then if the slider don't show up.
You need to flash the latest "compatible" twrp for the Note 4 N910T phone.
There is no official release of TWRP 2.8.7.4 at this time.
You need to get flash twrp 2.8.7.0 for N910T tmobile device.
Here is a download link for twrp 2.8.7.0 odin version and the
twrp 2.8.7.0 zip file recovery flash version in case you want
to flash it, you may need to odin flash it if you cannot flash
it using your twrp 2.8.7.4 .
Here is a download link for both the odin flash and recovery flash versions of twrp 2.8.7.0:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ytmvdwmgnmmqtrq/twrp2870-TAR+zip file version twrp2870.rar?dl=0
Inside this zip file both the TAR and ZIP versions of twrp are included.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Success!!
For some odd reason, I had to go down to TWRP 2.8.5.0 (tmo) for the slider to return.
Thank you!!

You don't have to downgrade TWRP...
Solution... Most likely you have a Theme inside your TWRP folder, and that theme is compatible with 2.8.5.0... And not for latest TWRP. (so latest TWRP displays incorrectly)
Delete the Theme folder from your internal storage (TWRP -> theme), then upgrade to latest TWRP, and everything should be ok.
