Unable to BART or NANDROID

---

I have found that I can't perform either a Bart or nandroid backup from recovery. Any ideas? Do I perhaps need to update Among RA? My version is 1.6.2.

Does it just get like 1 or 2 dots into it and then says it can't?

Sometimes it has to do with it properly mounting your SD card.

Try plugging USB into a computer, turning on USB-MS toggle for a second, then turning off USB-MS Toggle. SOmetimes that works.

Otherwise, turn off the phone, pull out the SD Card, put it back in, then boot back into Recovery.

This happens to me occasionally. You can't Flash from Zip either, when this happens. It's annoying but it'll work eventually.

I haven't tried removing the SD Card, but I will try that. Flashing from zip still works fine. And I can still use nandroid-mobile.sh via adb to make backups with no issues. Restoring from recovery works fine as well. It seems to get about half way through the backup process before it craps out and tells me to use nandroid-mobile.sh. And this all happens even if the battery is at 100% or plugged into the wall charger.

Your SD card possibly needs to be re-formatted.

Don't forget to back it up first.

Once I formatted my card with normal FAT and had very strange behavior as such.

And even if you already did as FAT32, sometimes recovery (and android) only likes it if you use home > menu > settings > Sd card and storage > format to format it.

Once, I had to format it fat32, then go into android and format it again.

Odd, I think. But something about how it writes blocks of data, and it can't seem to write it the way it wants in recovery, even though windows can with nandroid-mobile.sh.

I don't know how well this works for our phone, but this might be worth a shot:

I had this problem last nite. Possibly your battery may be low or something with the SD card. For me was as easy as letting the phone charge for like 20 minutes then try again

I was thinking the same thing, but he said:

OK just to top this all off and make it even weirder, nandroid backup from recovery just started working again. I have no concrete idea why, but I did notice something a bit odd. I was poking around in the terminal emulator to see what I could decipher. I entered "whoami" and got the response "app54". So I typed "su" and a message popped on the screen that "Titanium Backup has been granted root access". Another "whoami" returned "root". I uninstalled TB and booted into recovery but the backup still didn't work. Rebooted, reinstalled TB, and went back to recovery at which point nandroid backup decided it was time to work. I can't imagine what, if any, the connection is with my backup problems but nonetheless this is what transpired. I was left wondering if TB had done something with/to busybox that caused the problem.
