Nandroid + Ext Backup Issue


Recommended Posts

Hi All I get an annoying error when trying a Nadroid + Ext backup:

Error: Run 'nandroid-mobile.sh' via adb!

A Normal Nandroid backup is fine, but the Ext is the issue. Currently only running the December update with Superboot and Custom Recovery.

Running the stock 2Gb card but have a SanDisk 8Gb waiting to be used (maybe an issue with the stock card?) ...

Only did the December update, superboot and recovery program this morning, before that it was running completely standard with an Earlier Build Date ... Now reads November something after December update installed.

Many thanks in advance.

P.s. I searched and search for a result with no joy. I was sure vB had a topid search function but obviously not.

Are you getting the error on backup or restore? I know there was an issue with nandroid+ext restore in AMON-RA 1.5.1. This is fixed in 1.5.2.

It's during backup ... Sorry, forgot to mention that ...

Also running the latest AMON-RA as link by the sticky.

It might be down to capacity of speed of the sd card as I dont have any issues with the Nadroid + Ext on my phone same MCR but I have a 8gb class 6 card.

Hmm I'll give it a try, I'll just go ahead with a ROM install withough the EXT backup ... (Assume this is just a backup of thw SD card??) ... The important stuff will be on the Nandroid anyways ... Then once the 8Gb has some data I'll try again ... And yeh, mine is a class 6.

98% odd ... Fresh charge, currently 100% and still does it.

I got the same error message trying to do a backup of Nandroid + Ext. Solved by only backing up Nandroid without the Ext.

Maybe try a repair of the ext partition prior to the nand+ext backup?

That error was supposed to be fixed in the 1.5.2 version of the recovery for HTC devices on xda developers, i think the bug perhaps wasnt fixed in the Pulse version by Amon Ra.

It works on my brother's Pulse running 1.5.2.

Do you have an ext partition on your memory card at all? If you don't it errors out like that.

I do.

SWAP = 0; EXT4 = 512; Rest is the norm FAT32.

I've not tried it since putting in the new card, so will give it a try at some point.

The bug happens intermitently for me

It did for him to - I meant that the repair option in the recovery menu works OK.

Since switching to ext3 he hasn't had the problem, but I don't think he has rebooted too many times since then, so we'll see...

I hade the same error.

Tried running it drom adb, didnt work either.

My problem was that there was already a nandroid backup. I deleted the nandroid folder on my SD card ( I guess renaming or moving to your pc will work too).

Then I tried again and it worked fine :)

Ah well, it turns out that moving from ext2 to ext3 hasn't solved the problem of not being able to install apps after a reboot. My brother had to repair it again today. A2SD seems very flaky in the Pulse ROMs...

Yeah, I deleted my ext partition entirely, and haven't had any issues at all since.

Prior to that I had 5-6 instances of the issue where the phone totally fails to boot, and countless times I had to repair ext.

I am having this issue too.

Cannot perform a Nandroid and Ext back either.

I am using the new v1.5.2 recovery too.

Does repairing the ext partition lose the data? Or is the data intact after an repair?
