I have an original Droid X that I had flashed Rubix Focused 2.0 onto and it was working fine but i decided I wanted to go back to my original backup that I had created using ROM Manager, after going into Clockwork Recovery to wipe my data and my cache. I then attempted to go into the restore section of Clockwork Recovery and restore from my original backup. However after several attempts of trying this process I cannot get my phone to restore from that backup file which happens to be my only backup. My phone seems to get stuck on webview.db
I am not sure what this process is that it keeps getting stuck on however it is preventing me from going back to my original backup and thus my phone is completely useless. Any ideas on how to work around this issue or fix it so I can have my regular DX back?

I have a T-mobile G2 android phone. I recently rooted the phone. Installed different roms, and attempted to install a different rom. Currently have ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 installed. After restarting phone, if I don't load the ClockworkMod, the phone will freeze at the "HTC" screen. I can get into the Bootloader or into the ClockworkMod, but cannot get beyond that. What's the easiest thing to do in this situation?
Wipe data and cache and reflash either your ROM, or a Nand backup. That happened to me trying to ROM my Nook Color's emmc. If wiping data and cache doesn't help, you'll need to format data, cache, boot, and system and reflash. (Hopefully you've backed up)
Note: It's most likely your boot that's a little wonky, not CWM. IMHO CWM is one of the best things to ever happen to us Droid geeks
Ok honestly, Clockwork doesn't work on my Dream 32a. It doesn't boot up into the recovery. It's not compatible with some phones. Hopefully you did a nand backup..
I didn't do NAND backup. Is there an alternative.
Reflash whatever ROM you want, but format the 4 listed above. It's your boot that's messed up, so overwriting it with another one will confuse it... My nook boot-looped for about two weeks straight when I first tried installing to it's internal memory. I just stuck to it and read the forums over and over and never lost hope or gave up.

Back when I was on Jellybean, I decided to go back to ICS because of random reboots. I backed up all of my apps, through titanium, and flashed an ICS backup. Everything seemed to work fine. After i restored my apps, everything started crashing. Since then i have tried everything from factory resetting to flashing images through fastboot. Every time i try flashing images, it says "done" but i reboot and it's just the way it was. Clockworkmod isn't working either, it either gives me an error or reboots recovery in the middle of a restore. If you need any more info, i would be happy to get it.
When you tried to restore your back up from Jb to ICS it caused issues. You can try and push a new clockwork recovery and then restore a back up or you can also just fastboot the stock image and start all over again. What xoom do you have and what clockwork based recovery were you using (rogue or something else)?
Hi, just recently I flashed my Backup ROM to retrieve contacts that I have lost. Before, I had only flashed the CleanROM and a theme from Wasabiwa3. But because my contacts were lost, I decided to start over and flash my Backup ROM. Using TWRP, I did. However, when I did, my phone hard bricked. It would not turn on, but would rather vibrate when I attempted. I have pulled the battery multiple times, plugged it into the computer, everything. Wasabiwa3 was able to get me out of my bricked phone. However, it seems as though my Backup is dead. I don't understand how restoring my Backup would cause my phone to brick. Why did that happen? Is there anything I can do to restore my Backup ROM/contacts?
Your backup is a ROM not a phone so how can a backup be dead? Also you didn't mention the name of the backup ROM. Nor did you say if you did what you supposed to do when flashing which wipe cache, dalvik and factory reset which you need to when switching from aosp and Touchwiz.
Make sure the backup contains a system partition back up within it, next wipe the system partition of your current rom and retry restoring from the backup. Or if you have a stock nandroid, use the advanced restore option to restore the system partition.

So earlier today my phone stopped getting service . After trial and error i ended up in a boot loop so i nandroid backped and factory reset. I reflashed PAC man ROM and all seemed good, so i went to nandroid advanced restore and tried to only restore data to try and not boot loop again.this ddidn't work so i wiped and flashed PAC man again. This time however i restored the boot and system and my phone works fine. I'm unsure of what restoring sd-ext will do. So my question is, how to i restore my data now from nandroid without getting boot looped? All i really need off of it is my texts. (Apps are on titanium)

I think your best option is to download nandroid manager from the playstore. That will allow you to pull your data from your backup and restore it from the app, it's similar to the way titanium backup restores data.
I think the issue you're having has to do with restoring data from a 4.2.2 rom. Most recoveries have issues with restoring data because 4.2.2 is setup for multiuser and the data locations are different. I think when you're restoring data only, it's not actually writing your data correctly and it's soft bricking your phone.

I got nandroid manager and it worked perfectly! Thanks a million!Exactly what I needed
Ok, so I asked this in XDA Assist but can't post reply there.
This is what happened on my Xperia mini St15i, with firmware 4.1.B.0.587:
1. I turned on Bluetooth and the phone got stuck in infinite boot loop - apparently this is a known bug.
2. I decided to try out CM 9. Installed CWM Recovery and did backup on sd card and flashed CM.
3. I remembered that I did the backup earlier so I thought maybe there is a way to keep my apps and data.
4. I went back to CWM and restored from backup. CM didn't boot then, so I flashed back stock rom with flashtool and booted the phone. The apps and data was there( at least for one app which was very important), but contacts and messages were gone.
So my question is, is there a way to recover ALL user data from the backup? I don't care if it's on stock rom or CM at this point.
I hope some of you knowledgeable people can help!
Many thanks,
Paul
Can someone please help. :crying:
I managed to restore it with all the data by trial and error (I don't know HOW). Then at night the phone lost battery and is back to rebooting forever.
If I restore all via CWM and then flash stock, it boots up saying "Android is upgrading" and then keeps rebooting.
If I do a factory reset via CWM and flash stock rom, the phone is back to factory setting with no data.
WHICH partitions should I recover and which should I flash to retain the data??? HELP :crying:
