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:

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....

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

After 6 times I tried to do a backup with NANDROID - every time he stuck on system: Dumping...
i want to install a new ROM but i want to do backup first :\
help ?
delete something in your sd card , do the check disk too.
i can't delete everything on my SD card... i have a lot of important thing inside him
if you have more than 3 backups, move 2 in a different folder.
i had the same problem. mine got stuck at dumping data. the only sollution was to format the sd card.

Some people fixed nandroid backup's problems by this way, try it yourself and tell us if it's work. Remember to backup your sdcard first.

thanks guys ... i format my SD and the problem solved
Before I rooted my X8 my SD memory card had at least 1.3/ 1.4 GB space on it, which I am definatly sure about, but after the root it says that I have no space on it at all.
What gives, any ideas on how to fix it?
Copy all files to PC, format it in fat16 and copy files back.
Probably you have some errors on card.
Thanks! Hope that, that's the case.
It wasn't the case :L Something has taken up all the space... Could it have been the backup that Titanium Backup did? And how do I get rid of it?
The backup that is.
Just browse SD and delete you thing is unnecessary. Just make backup first
I don`t think that TB can make so big backup.
Don't take this the wrong way, but, rooting has nothing to do with the SDCard. Can you tell us exactly what is it you did until you've discovered that you lost the space on the SD?
beacuse, my theory is that after you rooted, you went and tried to install a new ROM, and consequently made a backup of the previous ROM. that's around 200MB, add the ROM you were planning to install plus another backup...
I havent changed the ROM on my phone yet. I havent got the confidence to yet. All I have done is rooted my phone using superoneclick, downloaded and installed titanium backup and apttek app manager, and then did a full backup using TB. After that I then noticed I had no space left on my sd card.
It doesnt matter as such now as I just bought a 4Gb card.
That is strange. Try exploring the card in windows. Might find out what's taking up space.

Did you select "charge phone" when prompted to plug the phone in super one click? You may have mounted the SD card and that might be the problem.
Yes, I did everything the tutorial told me to do :L
Hey Guys. I have a rooted Nexus One running CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC0-N1-KANG. Sometime back I had my SD card connected to my PC via a memory card reader. I was deleting a video file but while the file was being deleted, my SD card got unmounted. I have no idea as to what happened but now it looks like I have considerable part of that space lost.
I did scan my SD card using Windows disk check but it found no errors. Now I am thinking of formatting my SD card. I have a 1 GB EXT3 partitioned 16 GB Sandisk SD card. Most of my apps are installed on the SD card. Which is the best way to format my SD card? Also I do have Rom Manager & Titanium Backup installed. How can I ensure that I back up all my data and do an easy restore? Alternately is there any way I can recover the lost space without formatting?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
there are some programs out there to retrieve lost disk data--i have not used any but a search may help
i bu all sdcard to pc then reformat with sdformatter with full erase and size adj ON, then repartition inside phone--0 swap
nandroid first
Thanks for replying rugmankc. Do you have a direct link to sdformatter? Also do you use rom manager for the partitioning? In case if I do backup my entire rom and then format my sd card, can I simply restore everything by loading up the backup? Can you give me some simple step by step procedure of backup & format? Thanks again for your help.
Sd formatter: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/eula_windows
Nandroid backup
Backup to pc
Format sd card
Create partition (either wid pc or in recovery)
Copyback to sd card
PS: hv read ppl complaining abt rom manager aka cwm creating bad partitions.

Hey n1newbie. Thanks a lot for your reply. Sorry for being noobish but which is the best way to make a Nandroid backup and how can I partition with PC and recovery? Also once I copy back the backup on to my sd card, how do I restore the backup?
sorry for my late reply--nite here
i use this one--but shouldn't matter--just make sure you use full erase on and size adj on--you want complete format, not partial as phone does
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/SDFormatter 2.0.mht
the steps n1newbie gave you are good ones
i use amonra so don't know cwr steps
the partition steps are done inside phone for me, as i mentioned, thru recovery and should be straight forward, including steps to bu and restore
there is no best way to nandroid an that term/folder won't be seen in cwr, just cw backups. the options should all be there in cw or rom mgr, including restore
i bu sdcard regularly and titanium too
Hi y2jamit, its a pleasure to help u
Choosing recovery is ur preference (clockworkmod,amonra,4ext)
As rugmankc said, Making a nandroid backup and restoring is done via recovery mode and is jus straight forward. Remember to use the same recovery for safer side
To format in PC try any partition tools (mini tool parition wizard )

rugmankc & n1newbie, I really appreciate your help guys. Thank for making this so much more easier. I guess I now have the confidence to take the plunge
good luck
just read a lot on whatever you do so you have a good idea on it and then you can ask specific questions on the process--
ICS is still alpha so fairly unstable for a lot
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.
