[Help!] Nandroid restore WITHOUT using Recovery?

Is it possible to do a nandroid restore through ADB, terminal or anything else?
I've got some serious issues with my milestone, which re-flashing doesn't fix. I'm hoping that a doing a nandroid restore will fix this for me.
I can't access recovery at all at the moment, trying to locks up the phone, making it apparently dead, no logo, no nothing. Pulling the battery for 5 days, gets it going again.
I'm currently using the GOT 2.2 (it's the only one I could actually get to boot) and its rooted with SuperOneClick.
Any and all help greatly appreciated.

Yes, you can use the fastboot utility (in the sdk) to flash individual partitions. Depending on which nandroid version your backup was made with, it should work.
But why bother? Just use rsd to flash you phone back to stock. Test everything out and then rsd the vulnerable recovery again in order to get OR and custom roms.
Otherwise you will be testing and troubleshooting until the cows come home...

Thanks for the info, I'll try that tomorrow.
As the the reason why, I've already tried to flash back to stock through rsd, and reflash the bootloader, and the vulnerable recovery, yet the problem persists.
Thanks again for your help.

[Q] Help with Safestrap

I need some help please. I rooted my Verizon Droid 3 using Pete's tool, then debloated using the script found here. I then installed Safestrap 1.06 did my my backup etc. and have been running Mavrom. I needed to go back to stock unrooted for some testing so I restored my backup,uninstalled Safestrap, rebloated, unrooted and then factory data reset my phone and SD card. Now when I reboot I still get the Safestrap spalsh screen? Any ideas?
Thanks

Did you go into the Safestrap app and uninstall recovery before you uninstalled and unrooted? (My guess is no.) If not, I would re-root, re-install Safestrap, and then open the app and tap the button to uninstall recovery. Then unroot again and you should be all set.

Thanks for the reply. You are correct I did not do that! I will try following your directions! Thanks again!

[Q] My Bionic always boots to 'Bad Flash' screen

I flashed it back to stock 902 a few weeks ago. For some reason, it comes up to the "Bad Flash" screen every time I turn it on. I have to turn it of, hold down both volume buttons, turn it back on, and then choose "normal boot". It's fine after that. Is there an easy way to clear this? I'm currently running SafeStrap as my recovery.

flash failure?

I've been having this same issue. Flash failure is what mine says

Flashing any .img sucessfully should clear the error.

That's what I thought too
Yeah, for some reason, the area does not clear. I updated to Spearmint Gummy ICS thinking it would clear the error, but no such luck.

Did you have any errors when flashing to 902?

download the 902 FXZ file, adb Motorola drivers and rsd lite 5.6. Google for links.
flash the 902 free in rsd lite, will restore you back to stock 902

I has a space error, but I cleaned some stuff off and was able to flash no problem. I first ran into the issue when trying to go from Liberty Rom 2.0 back to stock 901

I did that originally which got me back to stock 902. This screen persists at boot.

Hey OP, Go into the factory recovery and wipe data.
You know how to get to stock recovery?

Just did that, but it didn't work. I did a full data wipe/factory reset in stock recovery. I still get the "bad flash" screen on every boot up.

And you for sure Flashed with the most current 902 FXZ file right? Not with 901?

I went into stock recovery and did a full data/factory wipe. The "bad flash" screen persists at each boot.

I did. At the time, my storage was pretty full. That's when I got the error to begin with. I cleaned some space up and then did it again and it succeeded. I still get the "bad flash" screen with each boot though.

I would try flashing again. Your using rsd lite 5.6 with it right?
Sent from my Eclipsed Bionic

The data wipe and factory reset is not going to change the flash failure error you are receiving. You need to successfully flash an image before it will go away. You can do this with RSDlite 5.6 or moto-fastboot the specific images.
I can help you in more detail, if needed.
Here is a good place to download the full 902 fxz...http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-bionic-hacks/202176-detailed-safestrap-instructions.html
Send me a PM if you need more help.

eye_dea is correct. Just flash any image with moto-fastboot will clear the flash failure and let you boot normally.

I had the same issue on my bionic. It said flash failure and nothing I could do would fix it. Finally I found a thread that said to try "FixCDT". I put the FixCDT file in my ADB folder and ran it. Instantly it rebooted my phone normal. I am not sure where the thread was, but just google FixCDT and I am sure you can find it. If that doesn't work sorry.

Best way to root and recovery to flash ROMS without Encryption Unsuccessful Again

Ok guys bought a droid bionic to replace my s4 that i am selling for note 3 and having an issue getting recovery working. I rooted it with no issues and then go for the bootstrap/safestrap recovery and boot into clockwork then i reboot and boom encryption unsucessful. After awhile of finding the right sbf file i flashed it in rsdlite and got phone back on and still have sdcard and stuff that i heard can sometimes be rendered unusable. So now im wondering how i can root, recovery and flash some roms successfully. Any suggestions?

So noobish of me
I'm having the same problem being a scrub and all wit linix and cwm in general. I manage to get myself to the same spot encryption unsuccessful - which gives me the option to do a factory reset which obviously doesn't not work.. So i tried to do a reset in the cw recovery which i managed to do but still stuck. I'm running jellybean on my Droid Bionic - i read that you can't flash it with RSDlite if your running jb you'll end up with a hard brick. So i'm stuck in sum kind of boot loop which i'm assuming i need to find the right sbf file and push it through sum how? Or flash it wit my recovery i made on my sd but don't kno how.. Help Anyone?

ENCRYPTION UNSUCESSFUL
After days of research I came to a conclusion of what my complication come to be. I kept getting an error with
RSD LITE on 5/22 OEM failure
So in the sbf file i had to alter the fxz - xml document
Deleting two lines from the scripted
consisting of OEM .
Once i removed these two lines RSD functioned correctly finally

Relock bootloader to update?

I have a spring Moto x with an unlocked bootloader. I want to take the 4.4 update once available so I flashed the stock recovery. Do I have to flash a stock image and relock to take the update? The only mod I have is exposed and gravity box which I could just uninstall first.
Thanks

Yes you should flash stock System. No, you don't have to relock

I had to rsd lite my phone back to factory default and then was able to take the ota with no problems. I tried to do it on a rooted stock rom but the update just kept taking me to TWRP and then stop. So I had to just reboot and do the whole rsd lite deal. Some people have gone back to factory default from using the tool kit but I never went that route.

When you RSD does it erase everything on your phone? I'm asking because I tried to go back to stock recovery (I also have TWRP now) but I keep on getting the droid with the triangle and exclamation mark...

The droid with the triangle is stock recovery. If you want to rsd you can delete the delete user data line to keep your data but you should just have to flash stock recovery and system and should be good to update.

So what you're saying is that if see that droid then I'm good? Also, do I have flash both system.img and recovery.img?

As long as you have no other mods, deleted or frozen apps yes you should be.
