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
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
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.

Hi friends,
This is the first question im posting in xda..i upgraded to xxkpm from kpe..then i rooted and deodexed...then installed super teeks rom for kpm..then applied meizu theme followed by andromeda theme..now tell me if i want to remove the super teeks rom what shld i do? But i want to be in kpm onli...
Ps - if im using a theme which was applied through cwm...can i use some other theme by just doing the same thing by flashin it in cwm...will it replace the old one or it clubs with the old theme?
Sent from my GT-I9003/xxkpm/cf rooted/ deodexed using Tapatalk
Please read everything more carefully before posting for such unnecessary things...
If you want a clean/stock/plain xxkpm install then the best wyay would be to take backup of your current installed apps, sms, contacts via titanium backup or mybackup... And copy the backed up apps, sms, contact data on your PC!
And then flash xxkpm just over your current setup and then restore your backup... Simple...
If you want specific threads pertaining to flashing go to Misledz's thread of gingerbread based firmware flashing guide... Find that all in his signature...
Also check out the super information directory thread in my original xda signature... It won't be visible if you are on tapatalk or xda App..
Tapashocked via my gt-I9003 with a random keyboard of my choice !
Thx a lot friend...gr8 info..also one more doubt...wn i try to restore the backed up apps from titanium back it asks me permission to install each and every app unlike back up...is there any way to just give the command once to restore all apps....

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.
Hi all,
I'm an inspire noob running exist's 4.0.3 asopX version 26 and he recently said that he was going to update us to 4.0.4 for version 27. My question is can I back up what i have to the sd card, do a reset, then recover everything using 4.0.4? Or will i need to do a wipe and manually put stuff back on?
thanks
As Long as the recovery you are using is compatible with your backup, then you can restore it with any Rom you are running. Backups from CWM are not always compatible with 4EXT recovery and vice versa

I don't think glevitan understood your question correctly, or maybe I don't. I took it you want to back up your apps and such, not the ROM version itself. And to restore everything back on the 4.0.4 version. This has nothing to do with clockwork or 4EXT recovery.
If he releases the 4.0.4 ROM as an update and does not require a full wipe then just install it over top of the 4.0.3 ROM. Most of the time the DEV requires a full wipe though.
Usually it is best to do a full wipe and restore user data with a backup app like Titanium Backup. But you only want to backup and restore user apps. Restoring system data can really mess your ROM up severely. Google contacts will resync when signed in.

haha Now that I see your reply I guess that I didn't get what he was asking...well, he will come back and get what he wants or will ask again...
I will say, no matter how inconsequential it seems, DO. NOT. RESTORE. SYSTEM. DATA. between major android versions. Let me refine that. I back up my playlists using Titanium Backup. I figured this was an insignificant thing and restored it when I moved from CoreDroid to aospX. Firstly, it didn't restore my playlists; secondly, I had to factory reset the phone < 1 day later.
That said, I WILL be restoring playlists and contacts going from AR26 -> AR27. I'll report either here or in the dev thread if it causes problems, but I have 6 g(mail | apps) accounts plus my FB account, and it takes me a considerable amount of time to get the duplicates regrouped.
Hope I helped. BTW, the free version of TiBU is pretty good, you just have to confirm every install. To me, it was worth it to get the pay version so that I could restore all my apps without confirming every one (right now I have 45-50, that's a lot of confirmations). It's also nice to be able to back out of a buggy new version of an app, or to be able to go back if you don't like the new version (I'm looking at you, FB.)
oh i see now. looks like i really lucked out cuz i flashed AR27 and his 4.0.4 then did a recovery. I thought it was a bit odd that it still said 4.0.3 so I came back here. Doh! okie dokie. I'm redoing a wipe and clean install and I'll just push all of my apps back from my google account.
Thanks for all the pointers about Tia Backup

You should have placed this in the ICS Q/A thread. Do NOT use the development thread for questions. thats why the restriction is in place, so people learn the ropes a bit before they are allowed in there. I would redownload and do a full wipe and reflash. And try to record your mms BEFORE you put all your apps and stuff back on there. Need a clean environment before you can dig deeper into this. Only thing you should put on after installing is inspiremod before doing your mms test. Id love to help test with ya, but i always remove the default mms apk from my phone :/
OK. Now I know. Which messaging app do you use?
