[Q] Nandroid Errors ...

[Chopstix9]

Hi Folks,

I am running Infinity 1204. I love it, stable as can be. Think I am gonna stay with this version after reading all the problems people are having with the 1211 version.

I am on CWM v5.0.2.7 and when I go to do a nandroid backup, it halts with an error sayin 'unable to create image of' on time it was system and the other was of data.

Has anyone else encountered this? Is it possible due to the ext4 formatting? any pointers?

Also: I have successfully done a backup with rom manager. It seems as though cwm sees this as a valid backup for restoring. Does anyone know if you can use a rom manager backup to restore in CWM?

I'm not much help, but I have successfully restored to CWM backups on 4.0.1.4 on Gummycharged FE 2.0 with IMO 13.6 kernel and I believe Humblecharged 5.0 RC2 with IMO 4.0 kernel.

Check the Infinity ROM thread from known issues with CWM 4.0.1.4. You may be able to use that version to create and restore backups. To my knowledge, people have successfully used the new version of CWM with Infinity to create and restore backups.

I don't know this for certain, but I haven't heard of a single successful instance of ROM manager working on this phone regarding backup and restore. I suspect it will not work, although it would be interesting to see.

Even if you soft-brick your device, you could easily get back to working order via Odin. I've soft-bricked a few times- as long as you can get into download mode, you should be fine.

You could try P3Droid's Odinmaker from the market. I haven't really used it much because I have been able to restore from CWM.

Yeah ... I'm pretty comfortable with Odin and CWM for flashing and installing zip files and such. I've had this phone since the weekend it hit the market and I have recovered from numerous brick jobs in learning my way around the phone.

But I've never played with nandroid until now and the phone hasn't completed a nandroid backup the couple of times I've tried it. Was just wondering if it was an issue maybe with this combination of ROM and CWM.

Edit: Now that I'm home I decided to try it with the cable plugged into desktop to ensure max power source. It goes through the whold backup process and at what I would assume is the end of the process it pukes up;

"Error while making a backup image of /datadata!"

But!! If I go back into the restore section of cwm, it does show a copy with today's date that I just performed. I just don't know if it is a valid full backup with the error I got.
