Onandroid LIVE FULL BACKUPS WITHOUT BOOTING INTO RECOVERY

[prboy1969]

Thought this looked interesting. Figured I'd share with you guys. It's called Onandroid supposedly you can do LIVE Full Nandroid Backups without Booting into Recovery. Haven't tried it, but it looks interesting. XDA Thread link, and Android Police link are below .

I tried,this about a week ago. Took over an hour to backup (did it overnight). Let me know if this was user error or if that is normal.

At that rate, its easier to just boot into recovery to do what I need. Usually only backup to flash something else anyway.

My ext partition was almost a gig so that may be why it took so long. Ill try it again tonight. Also I remember seeing boot partition skipped when I did it. Anyone else? Anyone restore a backup yet?

I didn't get the boot partition skipped, and to be honest I'm kinda scared to restore it since the doubleshot is such a prick about trashing partitions. A recovery has been the blame and also a couple cm users have had their phone just brick in the middle of "running"

Your welcome, I share what I think peeps will be interested in. Just tried it on SS vXI . Took about 15Min. , but while it was going on I still received a couple of important Texts. Which I wouldn't have been able to do being in Recovery. Will try a restore a little bit later. Still not sure how I feel about it though.

So just my results with this. I was running CM9 and made a backup, did a full wipe and flashed a Sense ROM. Then restored back to CM9 with no ill effects. I see the speedy takes a long time to backup but its very worth it if you don't wanna shutdown. The restore was done on my doubleshot but it worked without a hitch

Tried a restore on the Shift, went off without an issue. . Nice not to have to shutdown for a Backup is nice.

Yeah I was sitting around the other day and figured, what's the worse that can happen I brick this pos device so I tried it and really love the idea and everything about it. I'm glad he released for all android phones and not just the xperia

No doubt . The idea of not being down all that time is nice. Last time I did a backup is was 15min plus.

Yeah now it runs in the background. But from what I have seen the shift has a very painfully slow recovery process all around. Like on my doubleshot, I can fully format and flash a ROM and have it on the boot animation by the time I format system and data on the shift. By the time the shift is ready to flash I'm already booted into my ds restoring my apps. Anyways just rambling

Can you try the latest version (v5.9) and send me the log file at /data/local/tmp/onandroid.log if there was an error?

Does your CWM backup wimax partition?

Can you send me the log file at /data/local/tmp/onandroid.log and also the output of below commands in terminal emulator?

su
cat /proc/partitions

Hey Ameer and all,
Can anyone confirm that the scorpion_mini config will work with the electrify M. They are sisters and almost a dead match hardware wise, but not sure about partition wise. Also there's no /proc/emmc, or /proc/mtd. Would I or wouldn't I need the patch zip that's on github? Thanks for any info.

I have tried finding information about partition layout for Electrify, but could not get much info. Would you be able to try the skorpion_mini patch file and see if it works?
