Nandroid through ADB? - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone got smashed in a chair, and I have no way of backing up the entire system, I have MOAR on it but no idea how I'd go about doing this.

Just google "Back up using ADB"

What's the best way to wipe Nexus S

I have the nightly on my Nexus S and going to be selling my good old Nexus S, because I picked up the SGII. I tried to to do the wipe resotre, but doesn't work just gets stuck. I powered off again and restored to the first back up I had before applying the Nightly ROM, but don't want to run the Factory Data Restore unless I know this won't mess anything else.
I am leaving the phone rooted so not worry about removing this.

Fastboot will allow you to easily erase data and userdata.

Restore to a factory nandroid and wipe after that relock / unlock bootloader

Data malfunctioning

So I recently rooted my device via Odin and attempted to flash Zeus ROM 6 through cwm. There was an error with the flash as the ROM did not load properly. I reset my phone in the cwm menu so my phone got a fresh factory reset. However, my hspa+ will not activate, although I do get a signal. What should I do?? I have tried another factory reset and turning airplane mode on and off. Still no luck 
My infuse is running 2.3.6 if that even makes a difference.
This is a repost since the last was not answered.

Doing a factory reset in recovery is not the same as puttin your phone back to stock...your still running Zeus...
Just use heimdall or Odin and go back to stock

But the thing is, my phone isn't running the Zeus ROM. It's still 2.3.6 with 2.6.35.7 kernel.
I look at my mobile network type and it says it's UMTS versus the hsdpa(or something like that)that it was using earlier. It also reads my mobile network state as disconnected but is still in service (just cant use data based applications such as Facebook)
Should I still try to unroot my phone??
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Doc, It is not uncommon for the mobile state to say disconnected. I am on my sgs3 at the moment, it says mine is disconnected, yet all is well.

There is a misunderstanding... my network state says my device is disconnected. I am not able to access any app that requires data use such as the play store, Facebook, reddit etc.... All say there is no internet connection and simply won't run.

Unable to mount /sdcard0

Started having an issue with dirty unicorns so I went to wipe in recovery and I tried installing a new rom and it failed. Next time I tried wipe it says unable to mount /system. Tried mounting sdcard0 and same issue, unable to mount /sdcard0. Haven't hooked up to PC yet at work all day. Any ideas? Will upload logs after work. Any help would be great using backup phone that's half busted. Thanks!!!

Using Phil's touch recovery btw. Dunno which version off hand phones in car.

You might have to Odin flash the stock firmware. Sdcard0 is the internal sdcard. It might be hardware failure. I'd flash the stock firmware and see if you still have the problem

Gonna try Odin now. If no luck ill do full format on PC. Its funny that recognizes it though so it can't be fried right?

Odin got suck on system until this morning only way to end it was pull the plug which inevitably corrupted any data on there AND removed my recovery... can still get into download mode but after 20 mins never got past "Nand write start" am I doomed?

I'd keep trying Odin. Different usb ports different cable. Odin can be finicky and it's your only hope at this point.

Then your internal memory has probably failed. The device is old and it happens

Black screen

On my girlfriend's nexus 5 when shutdown the phone will not boot without using power+volume up+volume down then start.
I've searched for days and can not find a solution,
I've updated twrp to 2.7.1, replaced the ROM and nothing changes. Sane problem.
Anyone seen this issue?

Restored back to factory using the toolkit.
Unlocking, new recovery, new rom and now restoring all apks

32 GB to 16 GB?

I have a 32 GB version Nexus 5, but now I see this in the memory section of the settings:
I run Slimkat+ Code Blue kernel... what is happened?

Covered million times. Even in some of the sticky threads. Please use search

You mean the fact that 32 GB isn't really 32 GB but something like 29 GB?

No. I mean a 32 GB version showing as a 16 GB version

I find it... so I have to do a factory reset to solve this?

If I full wipe the smartphone and then I restore the nandroid backup of the Slimkat (a nandroid of how I am at the moment) it will work?

How can I do?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Ok, I'm going to use the second method. (Second post of the thread "how to flash the factory image"in the sticky roll-up)
Just a question: flashing the factory image will delete my nandroid backup, right?
If yes, I can save a copy of the backup in my pc and paste it in the device after flashing the factory image and restore it?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
The factory reset would also have deleted your nandroid if you'd done it from stock recovery like the thread says.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
In fact I see this after the factory reset with TWRP, anyway I can do what I said in the last post?
To flash the recovery stock I simply use the command fastboot flash like I was flashing the factory images or I have to do anything else?

Flashing the factory image will wipe your device if you use the flash-all bat. Copy your nandroid to your pc. You can copy it back after you re-flash install your recovery

Ok, it worked, now I have only the last question:
In the "TWRP" folder in the Nexus now I have to put only the "BACKUPS" folder or "BACKUPS" and ".twrps"?
Thanks!

You'll need to put the nandroid backup file in twrp/backups/your device serial number/

Yes, but now that I have reflashed the TWRP there is no folder in it, just TWRP..anyway I saved on PC the whole folder "TWRP"
