Attempting to be brief
which I stink at, but I'll try....lol)
1. I have the Ascend w/ CM7 installed, along with I have flashed DT'2 A2SD (SO SO much better than the "Move to SD Button")
2. Obviously in order to apply DT A2SD you need to partition the SD Card with an EXT partition
3. ClockWork Recovery 3.0.0.5 is installed.
4. Ran "Back-Up" to create a good back-up for the system.
5. Everything went as normal, till the last several lines, here was the output:
* Failed to mount /sd-ext (No Such Device)
* Could not mount Sd-Ext
* SD-EXT Back-up may not be supported on this device
* Skipping back-up of SD-EXT
First correct me if I'm wrong- a2sd puts ALL the apps on the EXT, so without that being part of the back-up, the apps are not there and it is useless.
OK, that was the MAIN and first part, I do have a second, simple question regarding Nandroid Backups, as I have Never had to restore to one, and the one time I tried was a failure:
IF I have a "GOOD" Nandroid Backup. DO I:
1. Have to have the ROM flashed/installed BEFORE running the recovery
2. OR, no matter what ROM will it re-flash or redo everyting to mirror the installation when the backup was done.
3. I am guessing that I have the proper ROM in place, and the phone as clean as possible.
That's on on this issue, just a quick overview of that. I've read my butt off on this but am a little off on the little details.
AS A FINAL THOUGHT: I could have sworn that when I had ICARUS on the phone, I was able to take Nandroid Backups, that that was by default including the EXT and DT's A2SD.
OK. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. As a result of a previous "same" situatoin, I had to rebuild the phone back-up from bare bones. (Did Have Tit BU really helped out), worth $$ to have all the dropbox capability, etc.
OK...THANKS AGAIN and I look forward to some input....
Best Regards,
Jeff
