[ROM] (2/28/13) NANDROID Restore Stock FR 2.22 V10f / GB 2.33 V21e and 2.34 V21y

Stock Nandroid Restores for 2.22 Froyo and 2.33/2.34 GingerBread​for T-Mobile G2x LG P999 only!​
(These Nandroid restores are not rooted and are in complete stock condition.)​
Instructions:
1. You must have ROM Manager installed and or ClockworkMod Recovery flashed and an external sdcard installed. Then have the directory and file contents of the "LG-P999-V10f.zip" or "LG-P999-V20e.zip" file extracted to your external SDCard in the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/LG-P999-V10f directory. If the directory does not exist then create it.
There must be a directory called "LG-P999-V10f" or "LG-P999-V21e" or "LG-P999-V21y" in the "/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup" subdirectory and the files must be directly in that directory, not in another nested directory or Nandroid will not find the files. (Note: If you have any spaces in your directory name. You will get a md5 check some error.)
​
2. Run ROM Manager and choose Reboot into Recovery or boot phone into clockworkmod recovery.
3. In recovery go down to backup and restore, choose restore.
4. Select LG-P999-V10f or LG-P999-V21e or LG-P999-V21y and choose Yes - Restore.
5. When the restore finishes do not reboot yet. Do a "wipe data/factory reset" from the recovery menu (just to be thorough).
6. When it completes choose Reboot.

By clean do you mean that all of the bloatware and T-Mobile apps are gone?

Not to thread jack but how do you backup stock g2x rom with rom manager?
I tried it and it didn't do anything.

I used Rom Manager to flash Clockwork Mod, then rebooted into recovery and backed it up. You need a micro SD card of course.

Just to clarify a bit. Drop the folder into clockworkmod/backup/ on your SD card. Made no sense when I first looked at the file path.
Tried this as a restore since my connectivity still sucks. I am getting a MD5 miss match. . . . What ever that means, I have no idea.

Bands
So I assume this doesn't enable the at&t 3G bands, right?

Thanks a lot for this. Saved my phone when I was getting stuck on the lg screen.

Transfer Titanium backups to new phone?

I am getting a new phone tomorrow. Can I make backups of my apps with titanium and then just transfer the backups to my new phone, reinstall titanium and restore? I'd like to think it's a simple yes.
Sent from my Crespo using xda premium

Yes.
Use TI to make the backups, copy the backup folder to the new phone (its super easy if they both have microSD),then reinstall TI and restore apps. Be careful with system apps as they probably will not work on the new phone unless it is the same model.

Bumping this thread because I want to be exactly sure.
I want to transfer my Ti backup of all my downloaded users apps & data from my current Nexus 7 to the new one I just purchased.
So if I go to File Explorer and go to my main SDcard directory :
/storage/emulated/0/
And scroll down until I see the folder labelled
TitaniumBackup
Copy the entire folder to USB drive and then copy that entire folder over to the SDcard storage in the new tablet
Once I reinstall amd start upTi backup, it should automatically recognize my apps backup from the TitaniumBackup folder, right?

[Q] ADB restore ends prematurely on Android L

Hi, I'm using a google play store Nexus 5, and trying to restore a ADB backup (.ab file, not pulled files) and for some reason it keeps saying 'restoration ended' on my phone while the computer continues to send data. Anyway I can force it to continue/ restore the .ab from recovery?
Thanks very much for your help, I've searched the forums but could find little on the matter.

Because "L" isn't meant for daily use and is full of bugs...

Thought as much, well, there was nothing really too important on the backup anyway. Cheers for the quick reply!

I've had issues restoring .ab file backup on my nexus 5. However it works flawlessly without the ".ab" i.e naming my backup as say "backup" works where naming it "backup.ab" fails.

ROM manager problem on nexus 5

Hi all,
I have rooted my nexus 5 for some time already and have learned about some really basic understandings regarding ROMs and android. I do realize the usefulness of nandroid backup so i made one with the help of ROM manager and its clockwork recovery. A while ago i flashed cyanogenmod and It all worked out quite well but I eventually decided to have my stock android kit kat back by restoring the nandroid backup. Everything worked out and i was happy.
I copied the backup files from the "secure location" /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup and to the sd card using es file explorer and eventually to my computer using the USB cable. Today i learned about xposed framework and i thought i would give it a try so i intended to make a nandroid backup again using the same procedure with rom manager (since i did make a few tiny changes to my phone since the last backup).
Here's the problem:
The rom manager app failed to backup or do anything as nothing happened after i pressed the "Backup Current ROM" button and clicked ok to the backup name popout.Even the recovery setup and reboot into recovery choices at the top of the app don't do anything after i press them. And i was stupid enough to delete the first backup files from my phone so currently i only have the backup on my computer. I tried to copy my first backup files back into the /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup folder but the path is gone as the /mnt/shell/ folder is empty.
I am desperate for some answers and support regarding this issue. I realize this might not be a nexus 5 problem so i am willing to move this thread to anywhere that's appropriate.

Don't use ROM manager. I've seen a lot of people bootlooping their phones after using it. Flash Philz Touch recovery and then make a nandroid backup from the recovery. See whether /mnt/shell/emulated/0/clockworkmod/backup/ has your files or not?

I suppose Philz Touch recovery is better? Also is there anyway i can still restore my phone using my existing backup files? it's a folder so i can't install it like a zip file...

If rom manager takes a backup using cwm recovery, then YES. You can restore it via Philz Touch. Copy the backup folder and put it in /sdcard/clockworkmod/. This is where all my Philz Touch backups are stored. If philz is using /data/media on your phone then clockworkmod folder will be present over there. You can toggle these paths in Philz Touch.

Philz will detect /data/media/0 as sdcard so need move /data/media/clockworkmod to /data/media/0/clockworkmod

Its a file manager problem. Es changed recently. There used to be a mount read/ write option but I can't find it now.. I use root explorer for root but its not free. Solid explorer works too which is my daily explorer but also not free.

I've been using ES File Explorer since ages without a problem. Have you granted root permissions to ES?

Hmm. I got into data, turned on root explorer then refreshed data and it populated ok
It did of course prompt for su

In es explorer... Maybe that's possible I have been experiencing some bizarre problems where root access are requested again and again even though I permitted already. What's the easiest way to check I am rooted or not??

Bootloop after editing build.prop

Today i wanted to change model in build.prop file to Samsung Galaxy S6. I had root and i did this by using ES File Explorer. After that i got stuck in bootloop. I still can enter TWRP Recovery and I have oryginal build.prop file. Problem is that if I copy oryginal build.prop to system folder by using File Manager in TWRP i am still getting bootloop. Every single reboot a file copied by me inside /system is deleted.
I really don't want to do full format so i appreciate any help from you guys. Cheers.

Oh I see. Make sure the system partition is mounted in the "Mount" menu. Copy your build.prop. I dont know if it possible doing it in GUI but you may have to change the privilages of the file to 644 (rw-r--r--) and the ownership to root:root

It's weird. I just copy again my backup file and did "fix permissions" action in TWRP. Now my N5 is working fine. Thanks for help.

Hello I have the exact same problem , don't have any recovery mode installed, any way I can restore it without losing all my files? (is flashing a stock firmware and then root again working?)

Sure, certainly, but since it also wipes your data, I'm not sure if it's better than unlocking (if you haven't) and installing a recovery.

I can install a recovery even if i'm bootloop? I can open recovery but not open the phone at all.

Is your bootloader unlocked?

Should be able to just fine. If your bootloader is already unlocked just fastboot flash TWRP and you cancel access your files like mention a few posts back. If your bootloader is still locked (unlocking it wipes your phone) I believe you can do a temporary recovery install with one of the root kits like skip softs. I've never done it but read about it.

Ehm... Sorry... But, this is not going to work, because recovery erases ONLY userdata partition. And system is on seperate partition. If system partition detects that there is no data in userdata, it's gonna start the setup. But in this case, bootloop is cause by edited version of build.prop, which location is in system partition not boot, kernel or userdata. So, there is EDL mode, if you have a lcoked bootloader.
