Nandroid restore taking forever - AT&T LG G3

I just tried to do a nandroid restore. It's hanging at the restore system step for about 40 minutes. Is this normal? I don't remember other restores I have done taking this long.

I don't think that it should take this long for the recovery process.

Yeah I agree. I guess I'm not sure what to do now. Pull the battery and see if I can get into recover and flash one of the other backups. Hopefully I can still get back into TWRP.

As scary as it is. I had to pull the battery and it hung at the logo screen. But was able to boot into TWRP and the second restore worked. It's first time in 7 years that I have nandroid restore just hang on me.

nandroid not restoring a backup

I have Iced 1.1.4, by accident I wiped all my apps and data when upgrading to it so I wanna go back to my backup of nandroid before to get all my stuff back.
I wiped cache and data and tried to restore the backup, but when I reboot it stays stuck on the MyTouch 4G splash screen. I've searched the forums and haven't found much of a solution for this. Any help would be great, thanks.
BTW battery is at 100%
try giving it a few minutes to load up
yes, I would recommend giving it a few minutes before loading up. Typcially on first boot it can take a few minutes. Only issue I have ever ran into with nandroid is when I renamed it and left a space, had to rename it again and was fine.

G2x rebooting.

G2x appears to be stuck in a boot cycle. After completely draining its battery, it began to happen. Ive tried charging while its off and it still happens. Its gets to the lock screen and it tuns off again. Stock rom, rooted, nv flash. Help..
When I had this problem on the gb leak I had to unlock as soon as it showed up. I switched to bionix as soon as it was released and it hasn't happened since. Might be an app causing the problem though.

Did you make a backup after you flashed clockworkrecovery? If so than retore it and you should boot fine. If you didnt make a backup then boot into recovery and do a factory reset.
REG, I have clockwordmod and I did a backup of my stock, but I think I did not have sufficient space on my SD card, so when I did the restore it succeeded, but when I rebooted my phone it's stuck on LG logo, do I have to reboot in recovery and do a factory reset?
Things to try
1 Factory reset in cwm
2 Load CWM internal recovery via nvflash (since you seem to have a small microsd)
3 Load another rom or nandroid back to stock again of your internal mem
I don't want to screw it up, would factory reset work for me in cwm?
It'll just wipe all your apps/cache. If that doesn't load correctly, then you got something wonky in either your boot or system.
Okay, so if that doesn't work, how can I get passed the LG reboot?

I already told you what to do. Look at what I wrote for options 2 and 3.
Edit: I actually told the OP what to do, but it goes for you too if you are in the same situation.
This happened to me today while I was out getting my car fixed! I was playing the new free game from amazon when it got a little hot so I let it rest, then next thing you know it was stuck doing the rebooting cycle. I was pretty pissed since I really raved earlier about how good this phone was until it struck me all the sudden.
I was at costco when this was still happening and showed it at the kiosk and asked if I could get a new another model since the G2X was making me pull my hair and basically I just have to bring the box in and they will replace it with the phone of my choice. Hoping they have sensation before the end of the month because this piece of brick is going. In the end I had to press down on the volume and power at the same time to LOSE ALL MY DATA to do a hard reset.
I don't care what people say about this phone and how great it is. I literally in the middle of costco curse the crap out of this phone!
Titanium and nandroid backup is definitely your friend.

HELP! G2X will not boot up, will not factory reset

I just got a replacement G2x and ended up one click rooting it. I installed bloat freezer and started freezing programs that I did before. I accidentally froze "launcher" since I am using launcherpro anyways. It seemed to be ok, but then I froze App Pack and it gave me the constant force close like some of the apps do. I pulled the battery and upon starting it up again, it gives me the LG logo at full brightness. It then dims to half brightness and then goes black. (unresponsive)
I try power + volume down and it brings me to the unpacking android like it should for a factory reset. Shortly after, the screen goes black and just sits there unresponsive but with the notification lights lit up. I had not gotten around to doing an nvflash recovery yet and dont have rom manager or clockwork installed yet. I just want to get back to stock or be able to at least boot up.
Please help.

I believe factory reset on stock recovery is volume up + power. Either way, I'm pretty sure you have to hold them until it starts the restore process.
Nvflash CWM recovery, restore the stock nandroid dump.
This should take roughly 10 mins to complete and will get you back to stock (minus the recovery).

what he said. took the words outta my mouth ahah
Thanks guys, I had done the NVFlash before, I was just worried about bricking my phone if I did it when I wasn't supposed to
Well after doing all that, it still only boots to the LG Logo. I can enter clockwork recovery and even do a factory reset (and the G2X stock nandroid backup) but when I restart the phone it won't bring me past the LG screen.......
Any other suggestions?

Send it back saying they sent you another messed up one, and then again I suggest to you and everyone else to forget about rooting, since there are more negatives that outweigh the benefits to a rooted phone. It's just foolish and it's no wonder that the G2x has a lot of problems, it's because most that do complain of a problem have rooted or tried rooting the phone.
If I send it back and they get it to boot, it will still have superuser which means it was rooted. I don't want them to void any warranty and I am sure they would not have let it out of the warehouse like that.....
Rooting is not the reason the G2X has problems. LG is the problem....
Anyone have anything useful for me to do. I like that I can at least enter recovery and do a factory reset, I just need to get this thing to boot past the LG logo.
Did you do full wipe before restoring. Install a different rom instead of stock....

After you did the reset and it would not boot up - have you tried pulling the battery and booting up again? I have had to do that a number of times.
I have pulled the battery so many times. What will flashing a new rom do that a stock rom won't?
After you restored the stock nandroid, did you wipe data, cache, dalvik again?
Wipe before and after restore. It works, I've done it oodles of times.
In addition to what GideonX posted, make sure you format system, format cache, and format data.
I did just as Gideon stated and it still cannot boot past the LG logo. I wiped everything before, flashed Gunmann's stock nandroid backup, then wiped everything again....
What now?

This same thing happened to me on my second night of fooling around with the phone. I fixed it by reflashing with the nvflasher. Make sure you follow all the steps to the T.
I followed every single step exactly. I ended up just putting the battery in and it booted fully after about 5 hours of sitting there. The battery was at 1% about to die. I don't know what made it boot up near its battery death. Either way, I was able to unroot and the next time I turned the phone off, it wouldn't boot again. It looks like it is an issue with the phone itself
Same problem
Hey, did you fixed the problem??
I'ts happening with my G2x...
Some times, it wont boot up, i leave it alone, and then powers up with 1% or 0% battery.
Today booted up with the right charge. And works flawlessly. But if i power it off i'm shure that the problem will be back.

How do you do that? Pleas tell
Go to the ROM for recovery thread in development section and follow it step by step.

[Q] Stuck on boot animation

Any ideas what might be causing this, or how to fix it?
If I have to power off my phone, when I turn it back on, it is perpetually stuck on the boot screen animation. The only way to move past that is to go into recovery and wipe data, davlik, and cache. Then I have to reinstall everything. But inevitably, it will do it again when I restart my phone.
I'm running the current ota version and rooted.
It shouldn't just happen randomly unless there's a hardware problem. Since you have root access, you might have done something that caused it. I suggest re-flashing factory images and then see if it still happens.
I did flash the factory image on Tuesday night after it happened the first time. I'll try it again when I get home this evening. Mayb there is something corrupt in my titanium backup file I restored a few programs from.

Make sure you don't restore system apps.

That might be it. But a fresh clean install is the way to go.

HELP!! CM12 not working!!

I downloaded TWRP 2.8.6.0 and installed it. Then I downloaded cm-12.1-20150405-UNOFFICIAL-xt897.zip ...put both on the SD card...went into TWRP, wiped the system, installed CM12.1 and it stayed at the boot logo for about 20 minutes. I rebooted, wiped again, and now I am stuck at the warning screen about the bootloader being unlocked....can't get into the phone OS at all....
Go back to TWRP and restore that backup you took before wiping...
If you didn't take a backup, try flashing another ROM and question why you didn't take a backup of your working setup.
Or just get back to TWRP, do a factory reset, reboot system and wait longer than 20 minutes (it can take longer to boot the first time, give it a while).

I didn't do a backup due to lack of space available.....plus i've had plenty of experience with flashing phones/ROMS....this one was supposed to be so easy.....but its proven to be very difficult.....I did flash another ROM on it and its at the loading screen......never seen a phone take so long to load.....sadly, I was wanting Lollipop and this one that I'm loading up now is KitKat......been loading for over 10 minutes now.......I have two of these phones, I guess I could do a backup of the other one and restore onto this phone....not sure if that will work......
Same problem here and I did restore a backup and it wouldn't boot either anymore

There's always RSDLite as a last resort.
My cousin flashed a nightly early this week and now it's stuck in a bootloop. I tried flashing latest recovery en formatting /repairing data and internal storage. But I always get an error on format DATA and trying to repair Internal Storage is not even an option.
Next I tried CM recovery. Nada, same effect. Flashing is possible, it even boots, but then it also loops.
Just flashed using RSD LITE 6.1.5 icw asanti_c_sprint-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-122_XT897_FFW-5-6-release-keys-cid9.xml.zip. Still, this baby won't boot!
So unless someone comes with a fix... This baby is dead. Something very wrong with internal memory I guess.
I finally got it to boot, I do get the error on formatting data too but try a couple times and it seems to work. It always has an error the first try. I also flash the ROM with data and cache on ext4 then changed it after flash and after first boot it will factory reset the phone when changing from ext4 to f2fs. That's what I did and it worked for me.
Wel I manually changed all partitions to EXT4. Let it bootloop untill the battery was dead. Also tried formatting a gazillion times. Still no succes here.
BTW, digitizer doesn't respond anymore after flashing TWRP. So nothing to test for me. CM recovery doesn't have these options.
So eternal bootloop. Time to move on.

Yes, as stated eralier. RSD Lite original firmware. Installs just fine. But that also goes into bootloop until the battery runs dry.

Ok, just checking. Did you wipe data and cache when doing that?

Yes I did. I would like to try 4218kris' suggestion. But without touch input that's not an option. Switched fronts to be sure, digitizer is ok. I'll leave this one for what it is. Still two users left in te family with XT897. When those break down I won't be replacig them.
