Problem with nandroid restore - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys... I've been having this issue with restoring a nand backup. After going thru the boot animation I'll get a "sorry android process system not responding" with the force close tab green and the wait tab white. The screen is unresponsive but the soft keys vibrate.
Someone suggested I wipe cache and dalvik before doing a backup. Did that but still get the error. The strange thing is this seems to only happen when I restore from DroidTh3ory's newest sense ROM. After I get the error I'll do a battery pull go into hboot and do a restore of DroidTh3ory's AO5P ROM and it will restore just fine.
I always do a full wipe and system format before restoring any ROM. I've upgraded to the newest cwm recovery.
Any ideas??
Thanks

This happened to me once when the phones batt was really low, around 25%, plugged it in, flashed a diff backup and all was good again...

Yeah but I had a full charge this morning when I tried to restore the ROM. A little while ago I restored uber BAMF without a problem. It's just weird that it would seem to be ROM specific. It's happened with DT'S Mono. ROM twice. The only thing modified on the ROM was a theme. Guess I'll try reflashing again and do a backup and restore without the theme.

Nandroid restore question.

I tried a ROM and found it to be a bit buggy. I did a nandroid restore back to pre rooted GB. Was I supposed to clear user data and both caches before the restore? Or does that not matter with a complete restore?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I have to think that its prolly suggested that you do so?? I usually wipe/restore whenever I flash something major, and I have avoided a lot of issues up until this point
I have never cleared data/cache before a restore. It is not needed. Been crack flashing for about a year and a half.

Has this always happened since you flashed ViperRom? Or is it new?
If its always been happening, do a full wipe then re-install. Could be a bad flash.

I would say reflash. I've developed a few issues over the past week or so, possibly due to some changes, and I'm wiping and reflashing to see it if fixes it.

Eclipse bootstrap froze

Hey, I opened eclipse parts to open bootstrap recovery and once I pressed recovery mode it acted like it was going to reboot into it normally but it just hung on the red M screen and I had to do a battery pull to get my phone running again. What caused this this time? About a week ago I had to sbf to 2.3.4 and reroot 2.3.5 then I just restored a eclipse 2.2.1 backup. Since then I flashed eclipse 2.3 over it and everything has been fine. This is the first time I've tried entering recovery though, is something screwed up?
Edit: yup every time I enter recovery it freezes at the M. An no, clicking install recovery does not help even though it says install successful.

Nope, stock Ec. 2.3

Hmm, not sure then. You are using the CM7 and not the standard BSR? If so then I'm all out of ideas. lol...all two of them.
Hmm, looks like all of this got covered in the Eclipse thread anyways. Well, I guess you are out of luck and need to SBF. It sucks, but if you have a recent nandroid then it's not the worst thing ever.
Yea when the Dev tells you to wipe... i guess you gotta wipe. Lol thanks for your input.
Did you by chance install bsr before hitting the recovery button?

Yup I've made backups and restored numerous times. The problem isn't not.knowing how to do it, its just that my recovery is suddenly gone. Nothing I can do currently to get the phone to boot into recovery.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you'll get it sorted.
I had a simular issue with my droid x2 #5 (went threw 6 of them and said i had enough) but what i did was kept clicking install on the bootstrap it seemed to work i did it like 4 times. It also doesnt like to play nice with power strips sometimes. I also deleted the recovery using rootexplorer but i dont recommend that cause things can get all screwed up
Still having trouble?
This happened to me before a while ago.
I let it sit at the red M for what felt like forever and ur finally loaded BSR.
Yea, I've been told to do a wipe and start again but I just dont wanna do that so im hoping it will start working outta the blue lol. I'll try the new suggestions, thanks guys.

Yea i can definitely understand that
Just be patient with it
Make sure you have good amount of battery AND make sure you are defintly plugged into the wall outlet.
Also, make sure your charger isn't malfunctioning(plug in while phone is turned on, go to settings>Battery, make sure it says "Charging(AC)" and not "Charging(USB)" , I had the OEM charger that came with my x2 basically die on me and that's what happened before it croaked, it wouldn't recognize as being plugged.into a wall charger, and if the device doesn't see AC current coming in, it won't boot into BSR)
Another thing you can try to do is press charge mode within BSR app in Eclipse settings. Then reboot the device(reboot twice for good measure ) go back into settings,.eclipse settings,.bootstrap, and press install recovery(after it says.completed press it again a couple times just to be certain lol , let it tell you competed each time before you press it again) THEN plug phone into wall without leaving app, then press reboot recovery(or recovery mode,.sry.been a while i can't remember exactly what it says lol) and then walk away, go do the dishes or something or take a shower.
Hopefully that will get you in. Good luck!
You can also try doing a cache wipe from stock Android recovery. Never know, that might help, and you won't lose any data but doing that

[Q] Skyraider not starting right

Gads. I've waited 2 years to root my phone and the first ROM I flash toasts it. I downloaded the Skyraider Zeus 1.3 and everything looked fine. When it rebooted, though, I realized I'm not able to do anything.
I slide the lock to get into the phone and I'm greeted by a dialog about in-call volume. All I can do is hit the Silent button and it switches between that and bluetooth volume. I can't figure out how to get past it so I can actually do anything.
Ideas?
ETA: Now I'm really sick to my stomach. I decided to restore from backup. Neither one of the backups I made prior to flashing are working.
Error while restoring /data!
WTF? Now I'm dead in the water.
4pm Update: I figured I have a brick now so I wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache. Now I'm trying to re-install Skyraider. I'm not holding my breath.
You're not bricked.
Go back into recovery...
Wipe data/factory reset 3x, wipe cache, and then wipe dalvik cache.
Flash the ROM.
You should be good.

Thanks. I did that and it worked. I guess I have to reinstall everything.
Why would two different backups fail to restore? The first I did manually last night through Titanium. The second I did when I flashed through ROM Manager.
That's your problem using rom manager. Download 4ext in the play store and you wont have backup issues.

Will do. What a debacle it started out to be. I think I'm ok now. I got the ROM working and for some reason although I wasn't able to boot into recovery and restore I have been able to restore my apps and data through Titanium. I have to say buying the Pro license was worth not having to acknowledge each install. :laugh:
One thing I noticed is that I used to be able to slide the task bar down and have two options. Initially it was set with notifications but I could select a tab to make quick selections like enable/disable the hotspot, etc. I'll have to figure out why I only see notifications now. Maybe that's just part of the ROM behavior.

That's strange that you don't see the quick settings tab.
Usually after flashing a ROM through recovery, I flash it an extra time so that I know it gets all the files through.
I know when I flashed Gingeritis 3D, I couldn't get the music player to stop force closing when I changed the music sound effects. The only way to fix these issues and a few others was to flash it a couple more times, without wiping anything at all. Dirty flashes (not wiping) could possibly fix any issues as long as you haven't changed any of the ROMs settings or set up anything.

Ha! I was just trying to grab a screenshot and found Quick Settings. I accidentally tapped the top of the window and now I see it. However, it only lists Wi-Fi, BT, GPS, and media volume. I really hope I can figure out how to add the hotspot.

To change those settings in that menu you would probably have to look in the skyraider settingsm

This is getting better. Now I'm posting from my netbook connected via WiFi tethering an not using the Verizon hotspot! This will save me another $30/mo.
So far this ROM seems to be much faster jumping between apps than stock. I'm going to play with it a few days and then throw caution to the wind and try the Skyraider ICS ROM. :silly:
Skyraider ics? I wasn't aware that they had an ics rom for the bolt.

My bad. I followed it from the Skyraider download but it's the ICS leak for HTC.

That rom blows. If you want a working decent sense 3.6 get nusense from the infectedrom forums.

Nusense is actually on my list. These are what I was initially looking at trying:
Liquid Smooth AOKP
SkyRaider Zeus 1.3
NuSense
I think I'm like most Tbolt users that are tired of waiting for ICS. I wasn't sure about Nusense because I was believing that Sense was the source of a lot of my problems. However, SkyRaider (even though it's neither ICS nor Sense-less) is running considerably better. My phone was next to useless. It might take 1-2 min just for the stupid thing to dial a # once it was selected. I'd tell people if I ever needed 911 I'd be dead before it even dialed. I also had a lot of problems with messaging and general performance. So maybe it was just a bloatware problem that was dragging me into the mud.
Now that I'm having a positive experience with SR I think I'm going to make NuSense my next one. It looks very promising. I appreciate the warning and help to steer me clear.

You should try Twisteds version of Liquid ICS AOSP . Only problem is Netflix and video can don't work. But other than that its a great rom --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33076925
Sent from my ThunderBolt using Tapatalk 2
Thanks. I'll give it a shot. I don't use Netflix much from the phone so that's not a deal breaker.
How is it with data? I flashed NuSense yesterday morning and flashed back to SkyRaider last night. I couldn't stay connected. The data drops were horrible. It was odd. I'd have the 3G/4G icon like I was connected but couldn't surf/email/etc. Then other times I'd lose the 3G/4G altogether. Sometimes resetting the mobile data would work and other times it would just laugh at me.
I guess I didn't give it much of a chance since it only lasted <12 hours but it was driving me nuts. Nothing like spending time with family and not being able to surf and escape.
Any liquid based ics rom is plagued with data drops.

You don't get data drops on other builds? Have you checked the gold tabs under your battery door and bald sure they aren't damaged? Maybe check to see if they are making good contact too.

Ugh. That's not good. SkyRaider has been rock solid on data. The only thing I've really run into is it seems flashing my apps with app2zip only works on some things. I end up having to re-flash Kindle, Lookout, and a few other apps once I'm up and running again.
I was really looking forward to ICS but not if data drops are the norm.

[Solved] WiFi and bluetooth not working

I had an idea. I did the exact same thing to my girlfriends phone. Only her WiFi and Bluetooth works perfectly. Even hotspot. So I figured since The device in question is also an HTC amaze. I could restore her nandroid backup onto the amaze with the problems. Would this fix the problem. I'm really hoping for some help here. My fingers are crossed. Should I do this nandroid swap?.

Did you try re-flashing the NRG ROM with the stock kernel? EDIT: I mean selecting the stock kernel when installing.
I did reflash the kernal. Seems to have taken but issues remain. Im.thinking of restoring a nandroid from another amaze with all working. Should I?
Sent from my VLE_U using xda app-developers app
Restoring a backup from another amaze fixed all.
Step one. Back up both devices in twrp.
Step two. Transfer working backup to the following directory in non working device. Twrp/backups/hlg727729<- example file name. Each phone has its own.
Step three. Take nonworking phone. Full wipe, restore, full wipe. Backup because its never a bad idea. Done.
Common knowledge? Not for me it wasn't haha
I would get rid of twrp recovery. As il not sure if it supports charging while off.
i would strongly suggest using 4EXT on htc phones, since it was mainly designed for them... and also i wouldnt use two identical backsups on different phones, i have tried it and it leads to issues later when the phones are connected to the same network.. and it my cause other system files to malfunction after awhile when using other apps
4ext sounds cool. I'll check it out. Thanx as for the backups. You are probably right. Wouldnt doing the wipes solve that aswell?

no i tried that, but both phones still end-up with some of the same settings like android device id and identical mac addresses plus some things in the kernel get curropted along with other issues... the risk is too high to try it out
