Root Nandroids from one phone to the other

[Aggie12]

Hokay, so. About a month ago I made a backup of liberty. I had flashed it once on my phone for one reason or another and it worked fine. I then had to get a replacement phone sent to me. The other day I tried to apply that same backup and it soft bricked my phone. It wouldn't get passed my boot logo. No recovery, no nothing. I had to SBF to recover. What do you guys think could have gone wrong??

I don't know what went wrong, but I can't imagine an image backup of a phone easily translating to being flashed on another phone...

 

[Aggie12]

yeah but... its the same exact system. It's not like I flashed it on a D2. I dunno. I just deleted all my old backups just incase.

I would think from on DX to another would work, unless you had it set to overclock or undervolt and the new cpu didn't like the new settings.

I assume both had the same system version (.340).

Besides, Liberty 1.5 is out and they recommend a format/reset prior installing.

That's what I was thinking too but I was and I still am running the same oc/uv settings. It was also just a backup of 1.0. It was more like a week ago.

Just happened to me. I got a replacement X because 1 of the button lights no longer works. I made a Nandroid from my previous phone and now I'm trying to restore to this replacement X. I keep getting stuck at the boot logo or the recovery screen...

I started with Maderstock to bring system files current--> Z4 Perm Root--> CWM Install--> Restore

Did I miss a step? I keep getting stuck. If I wipe data and cache it will load but I end up with a clean Apex 1.4.1 Install, all of my data including apps are gone...

Any Ideas?

Wipe everything, install Apex, then just restore data.

it should work.

 

[MikeAce00]

Restoring Data only was the ticket! Thank you. Full System restore kept causing bootloop. Both phones were on the exact same system though... Maderstock then Apex.

CWM- Advance Restore- Select Backup- Data Only

That was the ticket for me.

Thanks for your help,

Mike

Wasn't Liberty 1.0 on .320 and Liberty 1.5 on .340? I am thinking that is the way it happened. I know I had both of them.
