[Q] Romracer Recovery restore problems

[luizffgarcia]

Has anyone discovered what's the problem with restoring nanodroid backups with romracer's Recovery?

I see many of us have the same problem, restore work almost fine, it restores the operational system, but does not restore accounts and applications...

Edit:
New information:

I created two new backups as i am trying different ROMs.

I created one for CM7 and tested the restore, everything works perfectly! All apps and accounts...

Also created one for nCrust, this one have the same problem as i reported, the system is there, but it lacks all applications and accounts...

I also noticed that the nanodroid file is 0 bytes for the cases where the error occurs, and 1kb in the case where it worked fine.

Thanks

BTW, i am not using Rom Manager...

I'm not having an issue at all. Did you use romracer's CWM to backup?

I used it to backup and restore and it restored everything; apps and accounts included.

Yes, i did!

I flashed the last romracer's CWM yesterday, and created the backup next...

There are other users with this problem as well, but i can't find a fix for that anywhere...

Did you backup webtop (optional)? And upon selecting restore, are you trying to restore webtop?

I have backed up and restored twice already with no problems...what issues are you running into?

I did not selected webtop when created the backup, and did not selected the webtop upon restore.

I was actualy trying to restore everything i had installed, but i don't use webtop that much, so i decided not to include it...

The issue is that when i restore the backup, i get a clean Gingerbread, without any of my previously installed applications or accounts!

 

[diedemus]

you aren't doing a wipe cycle after the restore are you?

LOL!!

No

I'm also running piCRUST (v0.7) and romracer's CWM recovery 3.2. I will try this and report back the results.

P.S. would help us if you gave ROM, kernel, and recovery versions, etc. Thanks...

i just now did a backup and restore from within romracer's v3.2 recovery and all my post-piCRUST install tweaks are still in place. WiFi even came right back up with my WPA2 connection as it was before I rebooted for the test.

Of course, if the recovery actually did nothing at all then this behavior is expected.

Seriously, this part of the recovery is probably lifted wholesale from the codebase before romracer got involved, with the exception of being able to choose the external SD card for backup storage. That's what I did this first time. Now for another test, but this time I will backup to the internal card.

BRB...

---------------

No problems either with a backup and restore to/from the internal SD card. I just stepped through the recovery menu and chose all the defaults except for the webtop part.

Looking forward to your report of installed versions OP. When you boot into the recovery the very first line should say:

"CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.4-atrix3.2"

Is this what you see?

I haven't seen a lot of complaints about this myself, but up until now I've only been monitoring romracer's original post in the dev section. Can you point us to another thread where this is mentioned?

Not doubting you, I'd just like to see if there's some pertinent info about this issue that we're missing. Thanks...

Also, if you are choosing an Advanced Restore, please tell us exactly what options you are selecting, as they are described in the recovery menu itself (e.g. not "accounts", etc.). Thanks again...
