I'm freaking out. I was running Leedroid and switched to Coredroid. I did a nandroid backup like I always do and now I'm trying to restore back to Leedroid and it doesn't do a full restore. Pretty much everything is gone. PLEEEEEEEEASE someone help me. I can't even download stuff from the market. I'm so frustrated!
I would try restoring my phone to stock and then attempt to restore leedroid..
also do you make sure you restore phone back to factory and wipe dalvik cache?

Or u could try reset data/cache (factory reset) in CWM console, and clear out dalvik cache, and then restoring ur backup.

I went and got a new phone today. I was able to "unroot" it and get a new one. I'm rooting it as I type using the Simple One Click method. I should be able to just use my nandroid back up then to get back the the Leedroid rom right? I think what may have happened is I didn't do a ext4 whipe when I went from Leedroid 2.x to 3.x so when I went to switch back from Coredroid which uses ext4 it got messed up. Maybe?

As far as I know, not all ROMs support EXT4. So be careful when flashing a ROM that does not support EXT4 on ur phone if ur /data is etx4 formatted.

Oh yeah for sure I understand that. How do you switch between ext4 and ext3? Does using titanium backup work between the two? As in I flashed an ext3 rom backed up my apps using TB and then flashed an ext4 rom. Would I be able to use the Titanium backup at that point?

TiBu:
Since Tibu backs up apps and data, and not any file system related info, you should be able to backup and restore using it. It worked for me when moving between ROMs since I got my Inspire, and I didnt' format my /data to EXT4 on my early ROMs.
But nandroid might not work. I tried I think when I got my phone a couple weeks back to restore data and it came back with MD5 check failed.
EXT4:
1. Going into CWM and resetting to factory formats data and cache partitions. This should be getting it into the default file system (I think this should be RFS, but not sure, and definitely not EXT4).
2. I have a script that can be used to format data partition into EXT4 (got it from Android Revolution 5.1.x ROM thread). I run it when I know the ROM supports EXT4, but does not do it when installing ROM.
E.g., Android Revolution 5.1.x supports data as EXT4, but does not do it.
Gingerbeast 2.1.x supports EXT4, and auto converts too.
I am attaching the script to this post. Copy it onto ur SD, and run the steps in sequence mentioned below.
1. Get into recovery
2. Factory reset (formats /data and /cache)
3. Wipe dalvik cache (under advanced menu)
4. Run the script attached to this post (optional, and needed only if ROM does not auto convert)
5. Install ROM of ur choice
6. Reboot

Ok great so it must have messed up the phone while doing the nandroid restore then. When I did the TB I do remember it coming back with errors for a lot of things. Could that be because it was running Sense 3.0 vs 2.3 (the backup was done on 2.3)?

The way I see it, Sense is an optional set of components over base android, and has nothing to do with TiBu. The ROM I have on now doesn't have any traces of Sense

Hmm and it backs up/restores just fine?
Ok so I just rooted my new inspire and the boot logo is something completely different when I restored from my nandroid backup. Can these back ups become currupt? The only thing I want from this back are my texts and one of my apps everything else is fine without.

Can you use a Nandroid backup across any ROM, or is it specific to the one you backed it up on? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question... I just switched ROMs cause I'm trying a few of them out, but for some reason it's saying my SIM card has no contacts. I'd also like my SMS's back too. THanks
I think so, wait for confirmation as I'm not 100 percent. But I do believe that is one of the main capabilities of a nandroid.

@OP:
Nandroid backup holds good ONLY for the ROM u flashed.
1. Flashed ROM 1
2. Took a nandroid backup
3. Cleaned and flashed ROM 2
At this point, the nandroid backup at step 2 will not hold good for ROM 2. If u restore it after step 3, u'll get back to ROM 1.
If u want internal stuff like contacts, etc, u got to use an app like TiBu.
1. Flashed ROM 1
2. Took a backup of user apps and data with TiBu
3. Cleaned and flashed ROM 2
4. Restored user apps and data using TiBu
For contacts, u wud need to back up and restore system data (only) "Contacts and Storage". This is the only system data I have been able to successfully restore across multiple ROMs.
Do I need to be flashed to that ROM to restore a backup of it? I've been getting stuck at the HTC loading screen, and after using HBoot or w/e and returning to stock, tried using CWM to restore from a backup. Do I need to flash RCMix3D ROM before I can restore from the backup made from it?
Restoring a nandroid backup from rcmix3d will put you back to that Rom with all apps and data you had at the point you made the backup. If you are restoring apps and data using titanium backup, you will have to flash rcmix3d first.

I thought so too, but all it's too is getting me stuck on the HTC boot screen. Been like that for 20 minutes so far. Dunno what I did wrong, but I'd like to get everything back to the way it was
A couple of my backups refused to flash. Do you have more than 1?

I have two for each of my ROMs, so four total. Created days apart though.
Do they all hang when booting?

A nandroid backup makes a complete copy of your phone as is when you perform the backup, obviously this includes the rom you are currently running.
If you are running rom A and do a nandroid and then flash rom B, and then restore the nandroid backup you previously made you lose everything you've done since the backup and you are back where you were on rom A when you did the nandroid.

Check out if both are EXT4 compatible.
ROM 1: EXT4 not compatible
ROM 2: EXT4 compatible
1. Flash ROM 1 (formats to non-ext4 and flashes ROM)
2. Nandroid backup of ROM 1
3. Flash ROM 2 (formats to ext4 and flashes ROM)
4. Nandroid backup of ROM 2
...
5. Restore backup of ROM 1
This could fail since partitions are ext4 and ROM 1 is not ext4 compatible.
Here is what I do as a standard before restoring any backup:
1. Data/factory wipe
2. Dalvik cache wipe
3. Restore ROM
This worked all the time, except once when I got MD5 error (probably cos I backed up on an earlier version of CWM, not sure though).
@biglittlegato
Yeah, they all hang on the HTC screen. It's starting to piss me off. I know that it's a risk with rooting and stuff, but I'd rather just not have to start all over with my content.... again. I just flashed a clean RCMix3D, so maybe it will let me restore my backup from that.
@Perseids
That kind of thing may be obvious to you, but not to those of us who are new to Android and rooting. Hence why I was asking in the first place. I get that I'd lose everything I haven't backed up... but right now I seem to have lost everything period, as none of my backups want to work for some reason.
Maybe I am doing it wrong? After getting to the stock version of 2.2, I go to ROM Manager, and then to manage backups/restores. I click on that, then hit the backup I want to restore from, and it's supposed to work. It does it's thing, then just freezes on the HTC screen once it reboots. I watched it and read the script, and there were no errors or anything that would give an indication as to why it's doing that...

Don't worry too much. EXT4 is a partition type. Most recent ROMs support this. Just make sure in the ROM thread OP if it converts partitions to EXT4 (if yes, what all partitions).
I was just reading the script while it was (trying) to restore, and it said something about erasing boot before restore... is that normal? I just did a full wipe, flashed to the ROM I did the backup from, and the backup seems to be stuck again.Dang.

Restoring process erases everything, and restores. Compare this to norton ghost partition restoration process.
I guess I might as well just start over from scratch. It was only a few days worth of pictures/videos/texts and stuff, so not a HUGE loss. Still, wish the backups had worked as they were supposed to. As of right now it's still frozen on the HTC screen hah.

Data on SD card will NOT be deleted unless u choose to format SD card. All ur pics, vids, etc reside on ur SD card.
It doesn't show up anywhere. I just booted into CWM, and tried to select one of the backups, but it said "no file found". WTF. Sooooo it's telling me the backups are there, but don't contain anything I think. Nice.

If you're backups are not restoring you will lose data that's part of the ROM. Your pics and videos would definitely still reside on the SD card. You'd have to format SD to lost those.

Hello people of xda-developers
I got my first Android phone, which is an LG G2X 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
I have been searching around and found out you can root your phone which is kinda like jailbreaking an iphone.
I still don't completely understand how to do it though. I've seen a couple of threads that tell you how to root your Android device with something called SuperOneClick, but from what I understand, this doesn't work with the new Gingerbread.
Now from what I understand, you first have to root your phone, then flash it with CWM Recovery with NVFlash right?
Could someone please lead me to the threads that explain how to root a G2X with Gingerbread, and how to flash it with CWM Recovery.
hope this helps

although someone did post a way to root the gingerbread rom its pretty complicated for a new user.
the oneclick methods of rooting for the 2.3.3 dont exist.
if you want to be able to flash custom roms(which you do) than follow this link and it will walk you through what to do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
that will get you where you need to be. but it will not root the rom you are currently using youll need to flash a custom rom for that. in the development section youll see several roms either from source. or that are based on the 2.3.3 release and xboarders is the 2.3.3 with root only thats the only change.
good luck.
Okay I flashed CWM via NVFlash. Now I have a question. How can I backup my apps before flashing a rom. I tried to use Titanium Backup, but that doesn't work because my phone isn't rooted. If I boot into Recovery, do I have to wipe data before I install for ex. CM7 onto my phone? But wouldn't wiping the data delete all of my apps?

Yes wipe everything. Here's a step-by-step method of flashing new roms:
1. Wipe Data/Factory
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Wipe Battery stats - HINT. Always flash new ROMs with 100% battery to get the best battery life
5. Format/system
6. install zip from SD card
7. Fix permissions
8. Reboot and Enjoy!
All your paid apps will come again when you login to your Google account and set up your market. In Market, just press the menu button and hit My Apps and you should be able to re-install all your paid apps.

If you have Clockworkmod successfully flashed then you CAN now root without flashing another rom. Download the zip (theres one that roots, and one that unroots should you ever want that) file from the OP of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214. Save it to your sdcard, boot into recovery and select to install zip from sdcard. Navigate to the zip file and install/flash it. Reboot and you have rooted your system with all your files and apps in place.

Try it without rom manager. Power your phone off and then boot into recovery by holding power + volume down until you see the recovery splash screen. Do a full wipe and then flash cm7 again. After successfully installing cm7, or any rom for that matter, your first reboot may take several minutes while it builds the dalvik cache. Subsequent reboots will be MUCH faster.

Popular? Its really about personal preference but I'd say cm7, xboarders stock tweaked, miui, weapon, and eaglesblood are right up there at the top. If you want a more stock experience go with xboarders. Cm7 is fairly stock looking with a lot of useful features added. Miui is the opposite end of the spectrum, a very different kind of android indeed lol.
As for stable, any of the ones I mentioned are good, and probably others as well. Cm7 nightly builds are certainly useful enough to be a daily driver, but they have a few issues, but what else would you expect from nightly builds. They are development versions, not final releases.
Try a few and find what you like. Just make sure to keep a good working backup in case you fubar your phone lol.
Alright I got CM7 working and flashed google apps.
Now I have another little problem Before I flashed CM7, I used Titanium Backup to backup some of my game apps. After I flashed CM7, I go to Titanium Backup and none of my apps are there to restore. I connected my phone to my computer and I opened the Titanium Backup folder and the zip files and the PROPERTIES files are all there. How come I'm not able to restore my apps using Titanium Backup if all of the files are there?
I have the .apk files for the apps and I can just install them again, but I'm going to lose my save data.

I have never had success with Titanium Backup. Just reinstall your apks clean and forget about the old data. A clean install is better. Think about doing a new Windows installation. Do you want to import the crap that messed up your Windows in the first place? Android is the same way. Better to not import your old data and start new.

Wait no! Don't do that you can salvage ur save data.
What happens when you install CM7 is that the sdcard directory now points to your external sd card rather then the internal that comes with the phone.
the internal is now at /mnt/emmc
Get root explorer and you will see what I'm talking about.
Once you have root explorer just copy the titanium backup folder from /mnt/emmc to /sdcard and you should be able to restore all user apps with data... however DO NOT restore system data from stock to CM7... big headaches.
Hope this helps!

Too late, lol.
I deleted the Titanum Backup folder from my phone.
Oh well, nothing GameCIH can't solve.
Titanium backup goes to you internal sdcard. so you connect to you computer find the folder named TitaniumBackup or something like that, then move that folder to your sd card. Its just a matter of keeping same folder structure that titanium looks for (ie the correct folder name), and puttin the files in there, on the correct external sd card
---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------
oh also most of the time replacing the app doesn't work, just replace the data and it will work (unless of course you are actually trying to change the app in that case good luck).
So I just switched from Prime to Revolution ICS. I made a nandroid before I flashed, as well as a full system+data backup in TitaniumBackup, but when I went back to try to restore TB in ICS there was nothing there. Oh, of course, I thought. I should transfer it to the external SD card so I can get at it after I flash. So I go back in and nandroid restore the Prime ROM, but it hangs on the boot screen.
Is this because ClockwordMod 3.2.0.1 skips the internal /sdcard? Did it then get wiped when I flashed to ICS? Because if so, that seems like a major flaw of which I was never warned when flashing that recovery. I tried to extract TB from my nandroid using unyaffs, but I can't find anything useful.
Any idea if I can get my old TB back?
TB works fine. Look in the TB folder on your internal or external card wherever you have it and if files are there then it should be okay.
Did you flash prime kernel when you restored nandroid? Recovery doesn't make back up of kernel so you need to flash one after restoring backup that's why it probably hangs on boot screen.

Dangit, I was hoping to get back to edit my post before somebody noticed my stupid mistake. Forgot to flash a new (old) kernel when I nandroid'ed. I'm flashing up to ICS now to copy a HC kernel to my external SD, so I can nandroid restore the old ROM and kernel together.
Thanks, though. I'm sure this will fix it. Booting now.
Well, I got restored okay... but the TB folder is nowhere to be found. I'm thinking the SuperWipe script cleared my sdcard (internal) since it's basically empty. Good to know if I ever wanted to, you know, not erase all that stuff that CWM nandroid skips. I'm a little perturbed about that, but it's partially my fault for assuming it all worked the same as my Evo. Live and learn.
Well super wipe script does erase the internal card, at least that's what it says. Personally I always change TB backup folder location to external card as soon as I install titanium.

As will I, now.
So I recently flashed Paranoid Android based on Lollipop 5.1. Everything was working perfectly but I decided I wanted to flash Xperience kernel. I did a nandroid backup first. I flashed Xperience. After going into a bootloop I went back to TWRP to restore and retry to see what I did wrong. After restoring I am cought in a bootloop again. What should I do?
Try wiping cache and dalvik cache.

have you backupd all the stuff (/data /system /boot ) ??? thats really all that need. wiping cache means no real data loss. if yes, then wipe the phone complety( format /sytsem /data /cache /dalvik /internal storage) (maybe copy internl storeage on pc 1st) to make sure all is fine from phons side. after that restore your backup completly but without restoring cache & try to boot.

Ok then its easy. Wipe the Device, install only the Rom which has the needed kernel, Boot it once, then back to recovery & restore System + Data. Done =) good luck
Btw /Boot is the kernel. So you never restored your old kernel and spirit bootlooped like you say...
