Me too. I had been using 2.1.1 (successfully) until tonight. I flashed 2.2.1 thru RM and went to do a Nandroid bu with ext selected. After coming back after well over an hour my screen was full of dots. I did a battery pull and rebooted. Looking at the nandroid, there are only 4 files, boot,cache,data, and system. What is wrong here.

Update: Reflashed and successfully did 3 bu with different things selected. Also saw someone suggested wiping cache and dalvik-cache first.

just don't wipe data first - nor use calk's format all !
i gave someone a hand that had used calk's format all before doing a nan backup.
obviously, the nan restore went pretty quick !
we all live and learn - android community rocks !

Don't restore wimax nandroids between different phones!

Do you know the proper steps on how to delete the wimax image from my backup? Is this safe to do?

Backups still hanging on 2.3
for me.

Update: sorry guys, I wiped cache and dalvik and it worked. Thanks a lot.

When did this having to wipe these two caches first appear. Is it an issue only for those who run ext partitions? I just remember having to do this until I recently began running apps2sd again (haven't been doing that since my G-1 days LoL!)

2.3

Ran two backups of boot/system/data.
First one did not wipe cache or dalvik, second one I did.
First one took longer-obviously but was done in about 6 minutes.

Ran Calks Format All and restored the first backup which was not wiped.
Took about 12 minutes to restore.

I would expect the non-wiped restore to take longer but that seems too long?
I admittedly goofed as was connected via USB during all backups and restores...was that the issue?

Thanks for all your hard work Bro!!

Ugh... 6 minutes to backup B+S+D and 12 minutes to restore?!!
It really shouldn't take that long... WTF?!

I tested the same recovery binary on my Nexus One and did a nandroid backup and restore of a clean CM7 : B + S + D :

Backup +- 1 minute
Restore +- 1 minute

I wonder if something is wrong with the kernel...

Could you try to boot into recovery and NOT flash anything.
Just backup and time how long it takes.
Then reboot again in recovery and restore and time how long it takes?

You mean run backup/restore after running Calks Format All?
So in a sense-no ROM?

*EDIT*
Did that and backup and restore were 10-15 seconds.
Lemme know what else if that's not what you meant.

I actually meant just backup and restore a normal rom (B+S+D) without flashing anything right before it.
So just boot into recovery and immediately do a backup or a restore, in a full-sense ROM kind of way (like a normal user would do).

I've swapped kernel, could you please try to backup a rom (B+S+D) with this version and time the restore and backup time?

Thanks for taking time to test this! Really appreciate it.

... would be nice if you could test so we can get it fixed faster.

Ok, for comparison-
Still on 2.3:

Flashed Virus AB5.4 w/ Ziggy kernel 1-09-11
Rebooted
Did not set up ROM
Booted into Recovery
Backed up B/S/D
Took 4 minutes to backup
Immediately went to restore
Took 7:30 to restore.

Booted ROM

Flashed 2.3-test image.
Booted Recovery

Backed up B/S/D
Took @ 2:30.
Immediately went to restore.
Took @ 3:00

That's better

W00t!! So it wasn't the new wipe code afterall ;-)
Going back to new wipe code and will release new version soon.

Thanks for testing.

My pleasure. Thank YOU.

Just FYI-I then went and restored my 2nd backup from 2.3-the one where I wiped cached and Dalvik before the backup and it was even quicker-@ 2:30 to restore. Initial boot was lengthy-as expected-but ROM is back just like I never left

Amon_RA · Jan 15, 2011

ok, again a new test version :

New kernel 2.6.35.9 (should fix backup/restore time + endless dots)
Nandroid will skip sd-ext backup when it's not present
Nandroid will not check the battery percentage anymore
Reverted back to the same wipe code and logging method as v2.2.1 compared to the previous v2.3 test version.

recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img - md5sum : ba0d69ce44aa812d1f1d6c7f95f2930a

Testers : Please time your backup and restores and mention what you selected to backup/restore.

iknowsquat · Jan 15, 2011

Backed up B/S/D
No wipe.
Took @ 3:30
Ran Calks Format All
Restore took @ 2:30
WOOT!

Just fyi-upon reboot after restore there appears to be an errant image, some screen distortion, at the bottom of the screen.
Could take a still photo if its important.
I'm sure it means nothing, just pointing it out.

squick · Jan 15, 2011

Hey Amon, I'm having an issue. What's happening exactly is Rom manager shows the latest RA being 2.2.2 but when I flash I get 2.2.1. It worked fine on my wife's evo and gave her 2.2.2. Also in rom manager, after flashing RA, it says that I have 2.2.2 but when I go to recovery it's 2.2.1. I have no idea what's going on.

CruzECO13 · Jan 15, 2011

Latest v2.3

Backup Start/Stop
3:29:01
3:31:43
2min 42sec

Restore Start/Stop
3:33:00
3:34:55
1min 55sec

This fixed the endless dots for me and over 7min durations.

As mentioned by above user, there is a screen tear like image after selecting reboot. Never seen that b4. Thanks

Edit: I just reboot again from recovery and the entire screen is distorted

Check your wife's evo again, afaik there never was a 2.2.2 and that was just a typo in ROM Manager.
