Hi,

I have just tried the 2.1 r6 thing but found it to glitchy. I tried to roll back to 1.5 using my nandroid backup but it said error : run "nandroid-mobile.shrestore" via adb.

I have no clue how to use ADB and i dont know why its not working.

Can someone please help.

(if I were to reingstall the recovery image will it work)

Thanx

Aaron

Try plugging your USB into your computer when about to restore the backup :)

Leave your phone charging for 30 minutes and try again.

Happened to me also. Plugging the USB to the pc made it work.

Thanx everyone.

Unfortunately its still not working.

I think i have two options now,

1. Install a ROM over the top and start from scratch. If so which is the best ROM to go for whilst waiting for 2.1

2. Reinstall the recovery image. Does anyone know if this will work and if so could someone give me directions on how to uninstall and reinstall it?

Thanx

Aaron

Also, If I were to put the december update on the phone through recovery mode and then flash that in recovery mode would that work?

Don't need to uninstall. Just install the recovery image again.

Also try while in recovery USB-MS Toggle enable than disable. Than nand restore.

Just go to recovery mode holding END+Menu+Power on while device is off (assuming you've installed recovery mode)

Do that instead of running recovery from fastboot, that I think you are doing.

Still get the same error. Can i only use ADB when the phone is up and running?

If so does that mean my only option is to install a new ROM?

Also, is there a way in or out of a ROM to just completely wipe my phone to the state it was in when i got it?

Thanx

Flashing the December update will do that i think. Than you can install Amon Ra recovery and do nand restore. :)

I dont know how to get at it from fastboot. I was doing it the way you said above. But im still getting errors when i try to do anything to do with nandroid and when i try to wipe the the dev cashe thing

So if i just have to put the full zip of the december update on my phone through the USB-MS thing in recovery mode then flash it?

Might worth to try installing recovery mode again. That's seems like a corrupted image.

I don't think that'll work. Open december update zip and extract 'dload' folder to your sd card root.

Then turn your phone on while holding END+Vol up.

If update fails will be cause your device won't list as upgradeable. So we'll have to try another approach

It works now. thanx everyone. I think im going to leave it alone now as its fixed my problems with my google account and i have a backup of all my apps and data using my backup, so ill just wait for the official 2.1 update as this gave me enough of a scare thinking id bricked my £150 phone.

Thanx again

BTW is there a possibility that i lost my root access during all this? not that im bothered caus all i ever use it for was restarting my phone into different modes.

Also is there a way to get rid of the recovery image seeing as its corrupt and everything?

Just charge your phone and restore your nandroid backup :)

It sounds wierd but it really works ;). if had the same problem, charging solved.
