nandroid restore help - HTC Rezound

I recieved my CLNR from verizon yesterday. Made a nandroid last night.
Today I have unlocked, rooted and now I am trying to restore my nandroid.
This is what it looks like:
x boot
x system
x data
x cache
recovery
sd-ext
x android_secure
android_secure_internalsd
perform restore
return
I hit perform restore and this is what happens
oops....something went wrong. Please check the recovery log!
What does that mean and where do I go from here?
Thanks

when you go into restore in nandriod back up you get you device id before choosing which back up. each phones different. you need to use your computer and change the device id of your old nandroid backup to the same as whatever it is for your new phone then. not the backup file name, but the first one you have to choose in recovery i believe its like "HT19Xs2694" or whatever rename that to what your new phones is

Could you explain how I go about changing the ID with the computer?
Thanks

K. On your new phone create a random nandroid. By creating it you will be able to get you device I'd for that phone.I'd use a spare sd of you have one so you don't get em mixed up of not just take note and don't het em mixed up. once done pull the sd out and plug it into your computer. Open your sd card locate that nandroid folder open it (you should have to click on the device I'd then pick which bavkup) just highlight right click copy text. Then Open the nandroid folder that you want to use and go to that device I'd highlight right click paste the new name over the old.. and all should be good the device I'd should match up and begin restore pm me if you have anymore problems I'll give you my gtalk and help further.

I had the same issue, and I RUU'd twice and reflashed amon ra twice. Amon ra didn't work either time. I switched to TWRP and now it works like a charm. No need to mess with the Device ID.

not that your wrong at all but when you say theres "no need to mess with the device id".. i say theres no need to switch recoveries if unnecessary i dont like the idea of a 'touch' recovery. this method is simple and takes all of two min if done properly

[Recovery Flashable] Nandroid Helper for the Rezound

As you guys know, we can't flash boot images directly from Recovery. This makes restoring nandroid backups more difficult.
Well, not anymore. This flashable allows you to restore the boot image from a nandroid backup directly from recovery. For those of you who are experts, this duplicates the functionality of "fastboot boot recovery.img" in a self-contained zip.
To Use:
1) Flash the attached zip file
2) Press Volume UP when prompted at HBOOT
3) Reboot the Device (it will probably ask you to press power to do so)
NOTE: If the device doesn't reboot on its own, reboot "normally" not into recovery. It will take you to recovery automatically. If you go into recovery via the HBOOT menus, you still won't be allowed to restore boot images.
4) Restore your nandroid and with its boot image. It will flash this time
5) Done.
How it works:
1. Dumps your recovery image
2. Zips it into a viable PH98IMG.zip and drops it on your SD card
3. Downgrades your main version
4. Reboots to HBOOT so you can flash it
5. You then boot into unprotected recovery.

Good to get a confirmation that it works.
So we use this any time we restore a nand correct?
yep. It just allows Recovery to flash the boot image, but it is temporary.
Curious. Could this be used on a fresh install as well?

Yeah but it offers no benefit or extra ease. The way we install custom roms right now is the ideal way.
con247 thank you so much for this. I fastboot flash everything from the computer. But two guys that I help out on gtalk on a regular basis had a bunch of trouble with the PH98 process, but aren't able to use fastboot on their computers while at work.
Both guys have been using this rom very heavily going back and fourth between ICS and gingerbread, and both have confirmed this is very easy for noobs compared to the fear they have of ADB, fastboot.exe, and the cmd line.
Thanks again. You are an incredible asset to the Rezound and Android community.
Nice work

I used this quite a bit the other night , after I ran the RUU before I found out restoring old backups was a bad idea LOL. Still worked flawlessly though , so this tool has been invaluable to me ! I started making backups again
I can't restore any backups. I'm using the latest amonra. It just says oops check recovery log. I tried doing it regular and with this but they both failed and I had to use the ruu to recover each time. I don't understand what the problem is.

It might be related to using the Amon Ra 3.14 and trying to backup android secure. Dres, just released a fix because the Devblock location changed so it borked making or restoring backups that contained android secure. Sorry , if this wasn't helpful , but I realized my backups worked because I never backup android secure. Just figure it might save you a lot of debugging when its probably on the recovery this time not the app.

You could have also gotten a bad download. This script shouldn't be affected by the new firmware.
Thanks guys but I figured it out. I left a space when renaming the folder containing my backup. So once took out the space I was able to restore.

Screwed pooch. Need help.

I'm stuck on the backup screen. (8 or 10 lines deep where it says 'Backing up System'.)
I just noticed there is a CWM for the Rez available on Rom Manager. (My phone has been unlocked & de-bloated for several months but I never had a backup because I lacked the CWM.)
I did it & then hit backup. It flashed off & came up in the expected black screen with the code text. But the text never moved. It's locked up.
Need some advice badly.
Thanks.
I've never used CWM with this phone, but backups usually take a bit of time. If it doesn't work, I'd suggest ditching CWM (which is known to have many bugs with the Rezound), and download AmonRa. It's, in my opinion, the best recovery for the Rezound, and the only one I know of that doesn't have issues.
It's been stuck here for an hour. Can I pull the battery & not explode?
I did the amon ra back when I unlocked. Rom Manager still wouldn't ever make a backup.

cwm, is not working properly on the rezound. Pull battery , and flash Amon Ra in fastboot to recovery.

yea pulling battery will not break anything but the backup being performed ... flash amonra and backup again... please dont use CWM for now since it will cause problems
Thanks guys.
I pulled the batt & restarted, no prob.
I looked for the thread to try flashing the amon again. Can't seem to find it. There was one that seemed idiot-proof.
I do appreciate the help.

I agree with the others, download amon ra and rename recovery.img, drop in fastboot folder on your computer you used when you unlocked (c:\Android or c:\Android-sdk\Platform tools probably) right click on the folder containing fastboot.exe while holding shift, and choose "open command window here."
With your phone in fastboot USB mode connected to the computer use the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.IMG"

Nandroid backup and restore with Amon-ra

I am used to making backups and restoring with CWR on my EVO but now that I have the Rezound and CWR does not work, I make Nandroid backups with Amon-ra but am not able to restore them. I read somewhere that some things need to checked while on recovery mode but I am not sure what. What do I need to do to make a proper Nandroid Backup? And also do I need to flash anything else after I restore a backup?
If restoring an ics build coming from ics(or gb to gb) no additional flashing should be needed. Should only be needing to backup system data cache and boot. If you do s-off exploit, you can restore boot.IMG directly through the nandroid.

I know for sure it works with amon ra. Flash it in recovery, I think it boots automatically afterwards into bootloader, flash the image, reboot and it will go back into recovery on its own then flash your nandroid. Then all should be well. Just flashing nandroid will not allow the phone to boot

[Q] Suddenly roaming with full bars and triangle on top

I think i might have got to comfortable with my phone and possibly screwed something up in the process.
I recently have been Installing and Removing various ROMS on my phone so I can find one I am happy with and stick to as a DAILY.
I recently deleted from the SD Card all the folders in it besides DCIM, MUSIC, and my own Media. I figured its just an SD Card even if I removed it the phone should still operate. But I haven't touched anything Internally on the phone itself. Just always making CLEAN installs before installing ROMS under Amon Ra WIPE ALL. Which it skips my SD.
So for some reason now I have no Mobile Network on my phone it says its Disconnected. It also shows Full bars but with a TRIANGLE
over it now. I want to go back to regular data. I have a Nandroid Backup of my HTC Rezounds FACTORY ICS Build. While it help if I reverted to that? and started over with the ROM I like?
Have you tried long pressing on Mobile Network in settings and seeing if you it shows LTE/CDMA?
It does, and it is selected.
Take a look at this.
I found a way to take it off of ROAMING. In system select I switched the CDMA ROAMING MODE from Automatic B (I think it was) to Home.
I have a feeling it has something to do with a rom I installed last night. MIUI it might have change some options in the phone internal system
to thinking its not in the US. Im running stock ICS HTC at the moment from my NAN backup of Amon Ra. But at the moment its showing FULL SIGNAL BARS
& then seconds later no Signal Bars with an X over it. The verizon wireless rep told me that I was connecting to their SERVERS. I can also make calls but only under Automatic B settings in Roaming.
Im not sure what to do at this point. I wish there was someway I could reset the phone SIGNAL OR DATA OR CONNECTION SETTINGS or radio or something. o DEFAULT. I even reset back to my NANDROID Backup and WIPED all before I did that and I was still having the same problem. It doesnt make sense to me unless its a TOWER near by that is Out of order.

You always have the option of flashing a RUU and with that putting your phone back to bone stock.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
i would say start from scratch, flash the global ruu twice, pull the. zip followed by a factory reset. thats what I would do, if I was in your shoes.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Or reflash your ROM. If you can do a dirty flash you can just flash over it and I think you won't lose your set up. That should restore any necessary folders/files if that's the issue.
Oh! What about this... Format it in recovery or via your phone in settings. Since there's that option it should put whatever is needed on there.
If you can't tell, I'm just brainstorming here... I don't know what the files and folders are but seems to me formatting it from within the phone should work or why would you be able to do it?
EDIT: I just reread your post where you posted the pic. I guess you probably have more issues than just the ext sd. Probably best to RUU it and get back to stock and start from scratch. Then you know it's all good and clean.
Thanks

You don't need to factory reset after running the RUU, it puts it all back to factory stock anyway. Relock before you run it:
fastboot oem lock
And after it's done you'll need to unlock again and flash a recovery, root, then flash custom rom.

The funny thing is I have a COMPLETE Nandroid Backup of my phone even before I ever flashed my first ROM! (Before this even happened)
I went into Amon Ra and did a CLEAN WIPE. I wiped everything in the internal storage it was completely blank (I check it under My Computer)
I then restored my Nandroid Backup of my STOCK ICS from Verizon and HTC and Im still getting the same error.

Are you S-On or Off? If S-On, your nandroid may have missed a file that is necessary that can only be replaced by flashing a RUU. Just throwing ideas against the wall.
If I remember correctly, a nandroid from S-On can't touch the kernel and coming from MIUI there may be files that are missing or modified.
In that case, you may be able to pull the stock boot.IMG from the RUU you were on and push that to restore the files.

I am S-On. Its so weird I cant wrap my head around it.
Another funny thing is I've before restored my Nandroid backup when I needed it with a ROM I had that was Unstable and it was working like it should I was back to normal.
Im thinking it has something to do with their towers in my area. But I called a friend that has Verizon as well and he seems to be handling alright.
I just dont get it. Im going to try that RUU flash and see if that works after I eat dinner and possibly relock my phone.

The android police website did have the RUU files but they are .zip only to flash in recovery they where PH98IMG.zip files.
So im not sure what to do.
hey
Im trying to run the RUU .exe files but the arent executing. I double click the .exe files but nothing happens. I locked my phone so now I dont have access to the bootloader =( I feel like throwing this thing in a river:crying: at this point.

Quoted the wrong post this is for the zip files.
You should only have to shorten the name to PH98IMG. All the RUUs I've seen are some longer name (usually the name of the site hosting them_PH98IMG.)
Then just place it on the root of your external SD and boot into Hboot.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Are you still working on this?
You should be able to RUU from a zip file. Just make sure it's named PH98IMG.zip, put it on your card and then boot into hboot. It should find that file and run it. Let it run through a few times, do its thing and it should reboot when it's done.
I came back here cuz I just ran across this post from another thread:

So that guy is using his phone normally without the external card. What happens if you boot up with the external card out of the phone?
I think it has something to do with the hardware on my phone that started not functioning. I did try going into recovery wiping the whole phone wiping my sd card and then placing the zip file in my sd card. I then booted into H boot and from ADB locked my phone rebooted and then it started to read the zip file and reinstalled to factory reset. I let it reinstall the files let it do its thing it restarted a couple of times reinstalled everything needed went back into the lock screen and was still having the same issue till now. But it's okay because I called Verizon Wireless spoke with him on the phone and I still have my extended warranty on the phone and they concluded that it was a hardware issue so I got to replace my phone for free lol

Although the problem wasnt solved I still appreciate everyone's help on the matter.

Go to phone dialer and put *#*#3646#*#* then go to phone information. Look for a drop down menu and make sure its on CDMA/LTE Only (or anything really with CDMA and LTE in it, that specific one may not show up on your list depending on what ruu your on.) That changes the specifics of how the radio operates incoming connections. Set your data settings back to HOME and turn off roaming. Lemme know if that works.

[Q] TWRP Restoring problems

the other day i tried restoring a back up via TWRP but it didnt work until i fastboot flashed boot.img...Alright so i updated my TWRP via goomanager app to the latest version (whatever is on there via goomanager) as in the TWRP forum discussions it was stated that previous versions were not working properly wihen restoring. So today i flashed a new ROM (NOS ROM) but that didnt work so i decided what better time than now to try restoring again, no dice didnt work and i had to fastboot flash the boot img for the restore file to take and boot up just fine again...ok peeps what am doing wrong??? again im fairly new at this flashing ROMS scene but i thought witht he TWRP update i would be good to go. Am i missing some settings ticks/options/checks? i saw a check box that said "recovery" i think in the restore or back up process dont remember which process. i tried going onto the TWRP discussion but it is locked down and states that there will no longer be any support for it...should i just switch to CWM?? thanks in advance to whom ever replies
twrp recovery..

What did you have checked while making the backup? data? recovery? cache? system? and did you rename the back up?
System, data and boot are checked...I didn't mess with the options just hit restore and let it do it's thing...should I change something or check the other 2 boxes (one of them being "recovery" forgot what the other option was)?

I would check recovery as well and try again.....also make sure to wipe everything before flashing anything

also some roms are picky about which recovery is used to install/backup. I can say I have had no issues backing up stock or custom roms with twrp on my DNA
Alright sounds good maybe later on tonight when I'm at my computer just in case thank you for the tips I as well haven't had much trouble flashing ROMS with TWRP, albeit I've only tried flashing 2 or 3 been very happy with ViperDNA just wanted to check out different ones and easily restore back to viper

That's exactly what I was trying when all this happened...I flashed it via flash gui app like I've been doing but for some reason it didn't work...when I went to unlock screen it would pull up HTC splash screen and just stay stuck there... I'm not S-off yet so would that have something to do with NOS ROM not functioning?

no thats how that rom boots....leave it alone for about 5-10 minutes youlll see the notificatiion light come on and your =e good to go
Let me rephrase that...it boots up, screen comes on silver background from butterfly then I go pull ring to unlock and it pulls up the HTC splash screen once I unlock and will not move from there...so that's when I reset and went back to viper...???

Flash the new Nos build, and flash cpalmers kernel after the Rom install and then reboot.

I may have misread but did you wipe everything before loading nos? I saw what was checked for backup but not about wiping. You should wipe everything-system, then cache, then delvik cache-not exactly in that order (make SURE there IS a backup just in case). Load the rom AND flash the correct image file with adb. Also, many roms when FIRST loading up sit a long time before they start up, not sure if nos does this or not-I have been jumpy about the time sitting with a few roms when waiting was all I needed to do. I have had different Viper versions on a few times and moving to another rom was quirky each time I did so, not sure why.
NOS did that to me too. Just wait....it will load into the setup wizard. I think being s-on, which I still am...twrp isn't able to back up and restore your roms boot.img. just a guess but I to failed to restore a backup when an install went awry. Makes sense to be being that you can't install a kernel from recovery either.

I looked at the install instructions for nos, if you are s-on you need to do one extra step. You have to extract the rom into a folder somewhere to get the image file, copy the image file from it. Flash that image file using adb on your pc and THEN install the rom from your phone with goomanager. Without the image file loaded, I don't think it would work. If you are s-off this step is not needed.

I get that. I'm purely talking about after a full while that I'm not sure if twrp will restore the boot.img from a nandroid. S-On of course.

I believe it will, if it had the image from the get go. I believe that the back up has everything it needs. At least my back ups have never needed an image file. I decided I should try NOS myself and must say it would not go for me (S-off) it kept rebooting into recovery. I was going to try and also flash the boot image but have not done so yet.

Its the kernel in NOS. Flash NOS and then flash cpalmers kernel. Then reboot and do the setup and if you want to change to the zarboz kernel you need to delete system/bin/thermald or rename it to thermald_old.bak

Hmmm well I did everything via my cell (been the way I've been flashing ROMS unless something goes wrong then I use ADB on computer) and everything when properly done works fine using Flash GUI APP love that app! I've flashed super charged hatka 320 (used that for a couple weeks) then switched over to viper...both using Flash GUI I tried using NOS but yes no dice loaded up but when I pull the unlock ring for whatever reason the splash screen comes up and it won't budge from there....and as for my original question haha TWRP did not work for me when restoring it tripped out like if it was missing the boot image (done that before so I'm familiar with that behavior haha)
Oh and I'm still S-on
