I feel your pain - surprising error, but you need the rom. I am sure there will be a clean one available soon.

current recovery errors on nandroid backup

Hello,
I was just curious, if I do a nandroid backup of my phone before I load a rom, could I then restore from that backup later if I was unhappy with the rom? These roms look so tempting, but I need my phone for business stuff as well, so im tentative to not be able to go back to the (mostly) functioning stock image.
Thanks,
Andy

woohoo!
Thanks for the clarification, I figured that it would, I just wasn't positive on it.
I think I know what I'm doing for the rest of the day
He all! I just my G2X today and was wondering. Is it worth rooting yet with no cusom roms available? And if so, can someone point me in the right direction to accomplish this?
I came from the Vibrant and dont know where to start.
Any help, input and direction is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the club I was also a Vibrant owner before this.. So here is some quick info that may help save you some time searching.
If you plan on keeping the phone I would root it to get rid of unwanted apps but that is each users own opinion. If you do want to root it I would read this thread to make it easy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039985
Also if you want to add ClockworkMod Recovery all you need to do is get the newest version of rom manager off the market and select flash ClockworkMod Recovery and the G2X will be the third device down.
After that set back and wait for the custom roms to show up and you will be ready to have all kinds of fun
Hope that helps *some*
uhm. I thought clockwork wasn't ready for us thru rom manager yet?
has it been updated?

So that means that we can create a Nandroid Backup? or the mounted internal memory as sd card will be a problem?
I knew to just wait and it would be a easier way to get clockwork recovery on my g2x using one click root v1.7 because the latest version 1.8 didn't work.plus I heard cyanogen mod 7 is only a couple weeks away

Nevermind....found it
Well I just double checked and it still does not detect internal sd card.. Wanted to post this as soon as double checked as I was using my external. let me look through it more and I will keep you updated
Thanks for the friendly welcome and replies. Im gonna check out that link.
edit:
i downloaded all requested files. when i plug in my phone it starts to read it correctly but then i get a window saying it did not install properly. i clicked root anyway and it wont get past "waiting for phone". did i do something wrong?

Market CWM doesn't seem to work.
Works after second application/reboot.
Great news!

It appears that maybe, the drivers are for 64bit. And my windows is 32. Possibility?

i rooted my Nexus S following the instructions on the following link
http://jaxov.com/2011/02/how-to-root-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-on-nexus-s/
on a final note it stated that:
"At this stage, you have successfully rooted your Nexus S on Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread but your phone will continue to replace ClockworkMod Recovery on reboot. To prevent your phone from doing so, follow the steps below:"
what's the perpose of ClockworkMod?
i'm asking because once i brought my NSN back up, it started syncing with Google, and re-installed all my apps that were removed automatically.
if i rename the install-recovery.sh and flash ClockworkMod, would that create a problem with my backup on google?
i do not want to install diffrent roms, i just wanted to root my phone to get advantage of a few apps out there.
thanks in advance
cheers

1. You need cwm to flash roms. Also you need it to backup and restore incase you need it.
2. Renaming install-recovery.sh will only stop your android os from restroring your original recovery instead of cwm. It will not mess up your backup from google.

Curious! I never did that step and my clockwork recovery is intact.
i did the change of thename, but the funny thing is when i rebooted my phone this morning, the name changed back to install-recovery.sh
i guess it's all good
Thanks again
Cheers

It could be that one of the thing you flashed modified that or some sort that's why it's not restoring the stock recovery.

You could just flash a new aosp rom. That way you're as close to stock as possible plus you get more features.

i flashed infin1ty and i like it...i'm debating if i should try NSCollab
have you tried it, any feedback?
Nscollab is pretty much cm7 but with minor changes. You might like it. I actually liked it. But I'm more into stock so i used an AOSP rom.
Just make a nandroid then try it. You might like it.

i can't find nandroid on the market
where can i get it,
Thanks
Nandroid is a backup of your phones current state.
To make a nandroid, boot into clockwork recovery, then go to backup and restore. Then select backup.
This will automatically backup your current installed rom, kernel, apps etc.
Making a nandroid is always recommended before flashing a new rom, just in case something goes wrong while flashing, you can restore back to your previous state.
Sent from my Nexus S c",)
Nandroid is like going back in time to a previous state. Takes a while to do.
I personally don't do nandroid backups. But as a beginner, I'd recommend it so you can lean back on that.
The only nandroid backup I currently have is of stock 2.3.2.
Ah...I thought it was a market tool,....cool, I did my backup, I guess now I have to download the radio then the Rom. ... thanks I'll give it a shot tonight

Oh and I forgot to add. Your radio is not backed up by nandroid. But no worries. There's a guide in the android development forum for flashing new radio and where you can also download all previous radios.
Have fun flashing!

why do i need to update radio to NSRadio-XXKB3
currently i have I9020XXDK1
According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
KD1 is newer then KB3, so technically i'm downgrading...
i guess i just need more info, can't figure it out
i guess a better question would be, do i need to update the radio to KB3 from KD1 in order to flash NSCollab??
thanks
never mind,...the nscollab instructions stat to download the latest radio
next time i'll read the instructions 2ice
thanks again...

no you dont have to. you can flash nscollab with any radio that you have. some people have better coverage/signal on a specific radio. i think it varies by location but im not entirely sure why people get better reception on the other. you should experiment too which radio is best for you. you can use speedtest from the android market to test your bandwidth.
heres the link for the android development thread of the radios.

Guys, i restored the Virtuous unity ROM, and i just installed a new ROM, but sadly, i didn't like it. Now i want to restore back to the Virtuous Unity ROM.. What do i have to do before doing a restore? Do i have to wipe all data, cache partition, before restoring? Or just restore it when going to the recovery?
Simply restore, no need for any wipe, as default restore will bring back all partitions
Good luck

Ok thanks! Btw, you're using Endymion 2.1 ROM right now? I'm using that ROM too right now.. But, there's a problem with the camera.. Like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwZeI60qlAY
Do you have the same problem? Because i have like that camera problem after installing the Endymion ROM, it's really annoying.. Is there any fix for that? Thanks!

Can you check man? I just wanna make sure the problem is not my phone. Is your camera the same as the video i posted? Or is it clear, no jagged lines?
I do flash & restore operations pretty often. I noticed restoration doesn't really need a prior wipe in 99.9% of cases. Virtuous ROMs don't follow that rule on my DS. Unfortunately, my download speeds hover between 3kb/s & 8kb/s so I don't get to try out things nearly as often as many guys do.
Some background:
Nexus 5
TWRP
Purity Rom
I currently am being prompted for an OTA that I have been told here will either fail completely or mess something up. So I would like to update my ROM (purity) from an older version to the newest version that is fully updated to 4.3.3.
BUT!
I have spent the last few hours trying to find out how to actually update to the newest update to the ROM without wiping the device(apps configuration, and settings). To be honest im only assuming its even possible.
Can some one please point me in the right direction or give me some more info on this.... Thanks a lot.
The help is appreciated I am new to this....
You can try and dirty flash the newer Tom. It might work and it might not. Make a nandroid first and backup with titanium backup too. Worst case is you have a lot of fc's
