Root Nandriods taking forever?

[Rxpert83]

Hey everyone.

After updating my radio and mikG yesterday I am performing a nandriod this morning and it is literally taking forever. The whole screen had filled up with dots.

I finally pulled the battery and thought that maybe it was taking so long because i didn't wipe the cache. So I wiped the cache/dalvak cache and am trying it again but that hasn't seemed to fix it.

Any thoughts?

Any personal experience with this issue?

check your card and see if you are getting low in space. it might be having issues trying to fit a nandroid backup on the card. you might need to do some spring cleaning on your card.

good idea....if you store to many backups on it your gonna lose space FASSSSTTTT......i just backed up mikg 2.5 with no problems at all...

3rd times the charm. It worked.

I've been keeping an eye on my card space and it looks like that shouldn't have been the problem.

Ok new problem now... I'm assuming as a result of the battery pull during the nandriod backup.

When I click the market app on my homescreen it says "the linked program is no longer installed". I also no longer see it on my apps list.

Where can I reinstall the andriod market?

what rom are you on? maybe try and wipe dalvik cache and cache.

I had the exact same issue with the dots. I never was able to figure out the problem, and ended up backing up all my apps with Titanium Backup and just reflashing the ROM. I know that info doesn't help much, but at least you now know of another instance where its happened.

I had this problem restoring a nandroid the other day. I ended up doing a battery pull against my better judgement. When the phone turned on it was the rom that was loaded prior to doing the restore. My guess is that it just never actually started the process but showed the progress dots anyway. If that makes any sense.
