Root cant restore nands

[youdoofus]

I have been having trouble restoring nands... i reinstalled amon-ra 3x and have formatted my sd card and tried using another sd card. I cant figure it out. Ive pretty much ruled out all possibilities here (at least i think i have) what else can i do? I wanna flash a rom and be able to flash a restore, but i cant restore a nand and idears?

What is it telling you and can you post a log?

well happens when you try to restore a nandroid backup?

I can't see it, but have you tried multiple nands or just 1?
It's possible you have a bad nandroid. It happens

 

[youdoofus]

i upped it to youtube. link now there

 

[youdoofus]

multiple, and on diff amon ra installs and on different sd cards

 

[ocnbrze]

it looks like you have spaces in the nandroid names. you can't rename them and use spaces. delete the spaces and you should be fine.

Card isnt going to matter when a nandroid is corrupt. Place your recovery log on the sd card then post it in here so we can see what going on.

 

[youdoofus]

i know you cant use spaces, and i havent renamed them where do i get the recovery log?

 

[Rxpert83]

Other>move recovery log to SD

First try to restore a nandroid again after the fail go to other on the main menu and choose move recovery.log to sd

sorry it is kind of hard to see in the video. looked like spaces.

try it again and after the error, in the recovery main menu select advanced and then select move recovery log to sd card. then with either a file manager on your phone or on your computer open the recovery log and then report back with what it says. it has to be moved immediately after the error or it will reset if you reboot the phone.

 

[youdoofus]

word. working on it now

 

[youdoofus]

i couldnt even move the recovery log to sd

I know you are busy with what those guys told you, just wondering what would happen if you tried to restore a fresh nand, like, make a nand right now, then go back and try to restore it?

 

[dustwun77]

another thought, you say you have reinstalled 3 times, but was it with the same zip or a fresh one?

Might try a fresh dl, maybe even upgrade to the smelkus one!

 

[youdoofus]

just did that. great minds think alike? LoL im just confused here

 

[youdoofus]

smelkus?

 

[dustwun77]

yeah, smelkus is an amon ra style recovery the team dirt guys swear by, let me get you a link

 

[argedion]

smelkus?

awesome dev who took over AMON RA he has 4.1.3 out
here is xda thread

 

[youdoofus]

dust, you were ninja'd!! LoL

 

[ocnbrze]

i like dusty's idea of trying a fresh nandroid backup and see if you can restore it. if so then the previous nandroid backup is corrupted somehow.
