WTF. Did Nandroid restore and lost everything! - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was going to flash the Honeybread theme so I went into recovery and did a backup. I flashed the theme but my bottom bar was missing (due to the fact that I did a metamorph to remove the clock from bottom bar). I booted back into recovery and did a restore to the backup I did today. It went through the whole process and when it booted up it wanted me to go through a setup. What happened?
ATM I'm doing another restore to June 29th. Hopefully that works. I'm going to be pissed because it took me a while to set all my stuff up.

What version of ClockWorkMod are you running? Did you get it from RzoMManager?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk

No. It's the Clockwork from solarnz. I restored another backup and it was fine. I have to fix it like I had it before but at least I don't have to start over.
I hate CWM. I wish we had AR on the Xoom.

Hear hear! The absence of the terminal in recovery is a GLARING OMISSION.

I just had the same thing, recovery using the latest from solarnz 3.2.0.0. rc4 100611 and have no apps. will try an older backup
edit: an older backup I had worked, odd

Kaoscinate on mesmerize

I don't know if anyone has tried this but I've been running kasoinate on my mesmerize since his v0 release. If you want to try it make sure you were already on a voodoo kernal. Download kaos's kernal and Tom from the fascinate forum. Boot into cwm and wipe,than run the rom zip first than the kernal zip. Make sure you install gapps also. Reboot and you should be in froyo heaven.

This works but do it at your own risk. Im working on a mesmerize build so if you can wait a few hours I may have something up for you all that is a little safer.

Awesome I can't wait to try it. Its not that dangerous if your comfortable with cwm and you can always revert back to your mesmerize voodoo kernal and nandroid backup. And of course we have Odin. But I can't wait to try your rom..keep up the great work!!

Are you referring to the [ALPHA] rom located in the Fascinate forum?

There have been issues even with people on the fascinate getting boot-loops after messing with that ROM. It's only a soft brick, but, you must remember, there are a lot of people who would piss their pants at the sight of a frozen Samsung logo.. We don't really want to encourage flashing things labeled for another device onto a different device. If the other ROM say had a Verizon radio in it.. well, it wouldn't turn out well. In this case, that is not a problem, but that's not always the case.
If Koasinate works, what about jt's stableish froyo build he released a couple of weeks ago?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
Any aosp rom for the fascinate should work, they just need to be compiled using files pulled from a mesmerize.

I have a nandroid backup but it didn't work
Boot into CWM, wipe your device, install the vodoo kernal for your mesmerize than install your nandroid back up by goint to backup and restore and hitting restore and picking the most recent nandroid backup. In my case if I wasnt able to wipe or install I would have to do a battery pull and boot into CWM once or twice. Hope that helps.

go through the whole voodoo install process again or just go into cwm and install voodoo again?
go into cwm and install vodoo again than do a nandroid restore, if you try to stay on kasocinates kernal youll get an md5 mismatch when trying to do a nandroid restore

it just freezes at samsung now
after you do the vodoo kernal install the nandroid backup in cwm, this should go through the whole process of restoring your nandroid backup and than reboot through CWM and it should get you past the samsung screen.

says mismatch
also it says cant mount no such file or directory, when I try to wipe
try pulling the battery and redoing the wipe again....if this is not working for you I suggest just resetting your phone back to stock with odin, the instructions are in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881064 dont freak out too much, your phone is still recoverable. just read everything in the link and you should be back to stock in a matter of 10 minutes. hope this helps

[Q] New CWM allows backup and restore??

Hey guys,
I think the new CWM allows backup and restore? I used it to backup my current rom, but can anyone verify whether there are still issues when attempting to restore backups? Last thing I need is to brick my charge.
Thanks guys!
Is working

Have you successfully restored using the BLUE font CWM?

I could not get restore to work but it didn't brick my phone either. From what I've heard some people have had it work tho.
Is this the CWM from the Android Market? And, if so - Am I supposed to let CWM rewrite the Recovery Mode like I did on my Moto Droid?
Sooo hoping backup and restore is working, I know he didn't test it completely but that certainly doesn't mean it wont work :] Post in this thread if it worked for you!
I just installed cwm and did a backup before rooted. And was having issues tethering and wanted.to revert back. I went into cwm and attempted a restore. And it failed saying could not unmount /system. Then it froze. Next time i booted to cwm it booted in a basic mode with only options to reboot or apply update.zip
This is my first experience modding a Samsung phone i just upgraded from my droid 1. phone is working and plan to do more this weekend when i have more time to explore.

I am having the same issue as witmore. I can create a backup but it has issue with /system. It doesn't brick the phone but I would like to make a good backup incase things go bad one day.
Is the Market CWM working properly for backups and restores yet? I really want to try some new ROMs ...
The market app still does not work.

Bummer!
Is there any other method out there that can do a full backup / restore for a rooted Charge yet?
Try OdinMaker by P3Droid. It is 2 bucks on the market. I believe it works fine.
I cant get OdinMaker to reliably finish.
I saw somewhere on here that CWR backup works but to restore you have to reflash (Odin) your rom, kernal and recovery. Then in CWR you do an advanced restore and do /data only. I have not confirmed this works.

Try 0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5
The imnuts cwm 0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5 works very well. IT is is stable the only issue is lagfix ext4 does not work. However this may not be a cwm issue but rather a kernel issue. Dan

Yes, there was a thread about this already. Same problem. I was on Valhalla black, tried a full restore, and for some reason everything stopped working. Couldn't get into restore or download mode without a jig or computer.
You can restore data only, or try to minimize your mistakes.

Unlock icon disappeared after restore nandroid

Puzzling. Rooted, installed bean rom. Then nandroid backup. Next installed cm10 and nandroid backup. To backup imei, restore to stock nandroid and backed up. When nandroid back to cm10, the kexec reboots 3 times as usual and everything works perfect hut the unlock icon under the Samsung logo at boot has disappeared. Still rooted. Any idea why?

This has absolutely nothing to do with CM10.
This behavior has been documented on even unrooted stock ROMs.
It happens intermittently with my rooted stock setup too.
I bet you that it's due to the kexec exploit confusing Samsung systems in whether or not it has been unlocked.
It's good to know others are seeing it too. I could care less since cm10 is working beautifully for me. dhacker ftw

CWM Recovery?

Does anyone by chance have the MD5 file of the most recent CWM?
I've heard and seen tons of people linking to the site imnuts for it, but every time I go there, the site seems to of either been removed or changed for one of those quickly made search query sites...
Also, does anyone know if the Recovery will work on the lastest FP8A update? I was using a recovery from August and it's not going through for some reason... I figure something to do with how ODIN is signing the update on the device or something...
You have to flash it with auto reboot off and then boot straight into cwm and root. Then you can delete the file that overwrites cwm and flash cwm again.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk 2
You can get the 0302 version of CWM here. It's is what I installed on my phone just yesterday.
https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B9-XlcbZHKscXzVmRmFMcUVXcTA/edit?usp=sharing
I also dropped my copy of Odin in as well. Everything worked as it should - EP4, FP1, FP5 and FP8.
Be careful restoring backups with that version though. By that I just mean it doesn't like to restore your nandroids. The Orange Text Version seems to work well for restoring though.

It is /system/etc/install_recovery.sh
Also the blue text cwm cant restore nandroids on RFS. On ext4 it will work fine.

Well, I never knew that about CWM. Never understood what the mounts were for. I thought they were to mount it on the phone. Now I see you can use them to edit your phone via PC. Yay for learning!
