nandroid backup

[Guest nrdz]

hi all

Before i post my question I would like to say what a great forum and community this is, ex iPhone user , HTC Hero is simply awesome, so powerfull in its own way compared to a jailbroken iphone.

Any way, im trying to do a nandroid +ext backup using amron backup but keep getting

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

I have flashed the latest htc rom rooted from modaco link, and want to upgrage to modaco custom mod, but before i do i want to backup (is it nescessary even before going to modaco custom rom?).

I have run wiped SDext/Data factory/Davica cache, repaired sd ext, partation sd to swap 32, ext 512 and rest fat, the card has plenty free space,

I have also from adb ran tune2fs -E test_fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 from this thread but no luck,

http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero...s/#entry1153024

I have pasted the sd error log below for your expertise.

any ideas is appreciated?

good work so far, nothing to complain about in your first post :)

to find your problem, what does

adb shell mount -a

say when executed in recovery?

and what was the result of the tune2fs command?

the path /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 exists, but no /system/sd, as failed.

strange. the directory exists in mcr roms, try flashing it again. if it still doesn't work try to create the directory by hand in adb shell:

adb shell mkdir /system/sd

adb shell chown 1000:1000 /system/sd

adb shell chmod 771 /system/sd

Same as nrdz's

when i run the / # tune2fs -E test_fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 command i get the following:

tune2fs -E test_fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

tune2fs 1.41.6 (30-May-2009)

tune2fs: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.

and the /# mount -a command:

mount -a

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: No such file or directory

I have tried flashing again and run into exactly the same problems and have tried making the directories by hand, it'll allow me to make the directory and change ownership of it but if i run the mount -a command again i still get the previous return

Sure hope ya's can help me out...........

[Guest peetsl]

Ok - think i may have sorted myself out but jus wanna check. (safety concious me)

Since im doing this to my virgin hero, theres basically nothing on the SD card and no ext partition - so i tried doing just the "nand" backup and that worked no bother and the folder is now sitting happily on my pc hard drive.

so the big question is will that backup be enough to get me back to a working phone should the worst occur in the next step??

Thanks again

[Guest nrdz]

hey, good to know im not the only one,lol

Kendon, sorry for late reply to MY post,

adb shell mkdir /system/sd

adb shell chown 1000:1000 /system/sd

adb shell chmod 771 /system/sd

tried this no luck, the directory does exist, tried a reflash, still no luck...

to peetsl, nandroid backup works perfectly on mine, just nandroid + ext causes an error,

I believe nandroid backup, backs up the rom, where as nandroid + ext included apps to?

correct me if im wrong.

[Guest deeone]

@nrdz

Nandroid + ext includes your "ext" partition of your sd card in your backup ;)

are you sure you have an ext partition on your sdcard?

try to repartition your sdcard. run the "tune2fs ..." command ONLY if you have created an ext4 partition (or upgraded to ext4)! i suggest to use ext2 btw, don't see the advantages overwhelming, and journaling filesystems aren't good for sdcards.
