Help I cannot log into my phone

Hello,
So I was trying to install ICS on my nexus one... and like the idiot I am I made a NANDROID backup of my phone right before continuing with the installation of BlackRose. I made a partition of my SD card in Clockwork Recovery. With 1GB and a 256mb swap.
I rebooted the phone and see that my SD card is empty. Which probably meant my NANDROID backup was erased?
Is there a way I could recover this??? I just want my SD card data back .
And like a bigger idiot, I went back into Clockwork Recovery and did a factory wipe, (I thought I still had my nandroid backups), I tried to restore, but there was nothing in the SD card.
My main problem is that I want to restore my phone back to what it was... before I partitioned the SD card.
Right now I have a phone that is completely wiped and I cannot restart it because the setupwizard is bugged and force closes when I try to skip plus I don't have a system keyboard installed or a system launcher.

Stop using your sdcard for writing data and try this while the sdcard is connected via a card reader.

While you're at it, drop the SWAP partition. A waste of perfectly usable 256MB. You can find plenty of places where it's explained, why SWAP is a bad idea for Android.

Hey Jack_R1
How do I delete the partition?

partition sd card in recovery 0Mb for swap
while your at it hit THANKS for the guys on TOP ^_^

I've recovered the nandroid backup files.
My microsd card is completely empty.
Where do I go from here to restore the backup?
Do I make a folder in the root as clockworkmod/backup/ and put the files in there?
I've tried that and i keep get Md5 mismatch! Error.

[Q] Broken rom after clockwork backup restore

I have installed custom rom from zip and used it for several weeks.
Today I have decided to try new rom and I have made a backup trough CWM (6.0.2.5) in format .tar
I have tried to restore the backup. but the phone gives me a really strange error.
Encryption Failed. The system .. bla bla bla ... you need to reset your phone ..
I have tried to factory reset trough CWM, but the problem is the same.
I have tried to restore older backup ... the same error ...
Any ideas what is the problem and now to fix it (restore the rom)

I have tried the following ..
1. format /system /cache / data
2. install custom rom (CivZ v3.0)
3. take the setup wizard
4. reboot into recovery (CWM 6.0.2.5)
5. backup (.tar format)
6. restore from the backup
and .. the same error and no working rom ..
Can this be an internal SD memory problem ?
Any ideas ???

Anyone

Try backing up to external SD card. If that works, or you dont have an external SD card, backup and repartition your internal SD using AIO toolkit (choice 4 in the toolkit, then select the new unlocked ICS bootloader, and 512 MB system partition, or whatever your preferred size is, then run the internal SD fixer which follows that step) and try again.

The backup is on external SD
I have already repartitioned the internal SD with the default ICS layout (1.5G system)

Then try backing up to the internal SD and also try changing recovery to TWRP.

I have already tried TWRP but it cannot restore CWM backup
Currently I have stock rom , but I cannot rollback to the previous rom backup.
a few days ago I have used some app (found here in XDA) for optimizing internal SD .. is it possible this app to broke something in the internal SD ?

Hi! I assume that you were using the stock ics rom. Right? Stock ics use system partition as ext4 but data and cache are used as ext3. Since TWRP and CWM format data and cache as ext4 you cannot use your old backup of stock ics rom, unless you format both (data and cache) to ext3.
I created a zip which converts data and cache to ext3. Download from my attachment.
Flash the zip file then restore your backup.

Thanks :victory:
I will try

Custom recovery lost?

Hey guys so i backed up my v20b stock software via cwm and thought that it was going to be stored in some kind of internal storage forever (like cwm itself), but now i realised that after i done factory reset it is probably gone ) Is there a way to create a recovery file for cwm to restore to v20b?Or could i use some elses file?

Your backup is in the internal memory, unless you format or wipe it specifically factory reset will not erase it.
In development section there are a few roms based on official v20b ou can flash thhose if you can't find your backup

i had 2 backups on stock and i didn't delete any of them, just did the factory reset once. When i go to recovery mode CWM doesn't find any backups on internal storage...So where did they go?

Mount usb storage from recovery and check the cwm folder they should be in there unless you did "wipe data"

did you install any 4.2.2+ rom? if you did, your cwm is reading the "wrong" folder for backups. it's reading under data/media/0/whatevercwmbackupfolderis, instead of data/media/whatevercwmbackupfolderis

Go into custom recovery and select "Restore Back-up". It will work. I had the same problem .

Yeah, i also did wipe data/cache/dalvik/(as you do) before installing 4.4.2 , no backups in data/media/cwm, so i guess my backups are gone?

No, wipe data doesn't wipe internal storage, if formats everything except data/media which is where backups are
You must specifically select "format internal storage" to loose your backups
Is other stuff you had on internal sd still present?

they have to be there, unless you formatted internal sd. try searching around more with file browsers, sorry i cant be of more help

no, but i do factory reset every time. Rom manager doesn't find anything, as well as cwm in recovery mode. Searched every CWM,DATA,BACKUP folder, nothing there.
i searched with ES file explorer with root access (i even created a new backup to be 100% sure root access is on, the new backup appeared in data/media). Btw, how much internal storage is there after factory reset? Because with Beanstalk i get 11,8 of 12,2, i was sure those 400mb where my software backups....

[Q] Can CWM see internal storage? Cannot install nightlies.

Hi,
I had a clean install of Evervolv KitKat (test-2-20). Everything worked fine, except Gapps did not install because of the small internal partition space, so I had to increase the partition to 8GB.
I then used built-in updater to update to the nightly 2.22 through CWM. It updated OK.
Now I downloaded nightly 3.2 the same way. But CWM cannot find it to flash. Looks like I have 2 EVUpdater folder, one in internal storage, one in sdcard partition.
I have to move the files around in order to flash anything. Is there any way for CWM to see the internal storage somehow?
Thanks in advance.

Personal data lose after nandroid backup and advanced wipe: HOW RECOVERY FILE? :(

I had a big problem with the backup of my moto x 2014, i lost photos, videos and download of the internal memory of my phone! :crying:
I made a Nandroid with TWRP 3.0 Recovery by selecting all the internal partitions of the phone as: a system, date, boot, efs, cache .. So all the internal partitions and made up of external usb otg pendrive (since the moto x has no sd external)
Everything went well and after he finished the backup to external USB OTG I did a wipe advanced as I had backup !!
The problem is that when I restored all were gone all my photos and personal file are lost !
If he did not do a Nandroid A COPY MIRROR OF ALL MEMORY? Why it has not included in the DATA partition, even my files?
I did not know did not backup personal files!
Now what interests me is: There are software type PhotoRec to recover even low-level files from the internal memory of the phone because in theory are still there? and they have not been overwritten ...
If they were an external memory there was no problem photorec enough, but in the internal memory of the phone that use software?
Please I need suggestions! Thank you.

Twrp does backup your data if you select it.
Photorec won't work. If you don't have a backup they are gone forever.

"Twrp does backup your data if you select it."
..Are you really sure ?
Because I have selected all of the flags from Backup in TWRP 3.0 , included DATE, but when I restored the Nandroid when I go in the Downloads folder or camera or other folders these are empty !! nothing files! why ?
There is a way to "scan" low-level partition of the internal memory of the phone as it happens on hdd computers ?

Some recovery software might work for you.. Root access is necessary for that, usb cable, adb enable.. Thats it! Google it don't remmeber the name android recovery or idk.. Last tried year ago one note 3 kitkat.
