Problem creating nandroid backup

[Guest khtse]

I have a A8183 (Telstra) Desire with MCR r3.1, with A2SD enabled.

For some reason everytime I run "Nand + ext backup" it would give me the message in the middle of the process

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

I tried both the files contained in the r5 rooting guide here, and the AM Desire recovery 1.1 found here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689778

and both gave me the same error message when using nandroid.

A2SD seems to work fine and I have no problem flashing roms onto my Desire, anyone know what is causing this error?

Try pauls recovery & nandroid back up no + ext,

I have same problem .

Pauls recovery with just nandroid(no ext) back up seems to work

But with A2SD installed, not backing up ext renders the backup useless

Hi!

A workaround until "nandroid+ext" fix is to use software like Titanium Backup, so you backup all your apps installed in extX partition to SD, then do a normal nandroid backup. When you restore the nandroid backup, then apply the titanium restore and it should be ok.

It takes a bit longer but it works.

Thanks that's what I thought.

Use am recovery to wipe ext :(
