Guys...

I was about to go for A2SD+.

Performed a backup using Ti. Went fine.

Then chose to backup rom (clockwork) using ROM Manager.

It booted in to a screen that showed details of stuff that were being backed up.

Reached generating checksum/md5. And that's it.

It has been rebooting. Ad infinitum! Vibrates, HTC Screen, blank, vibrates, HTC Screen, blank... ... ...

I tried rebooting via HBOOT and chose recover. No use.

Please help me out.

 

Was able to RESTORE the latest (and only) backup from Clockwork Mod Recovery (at HBOOT).

But the phone seems to function a lot slower now (post recovery). I deleted the ROM Manager backup (under "manage" options in ROM manager).

To be honest... The whole thing scared the cr^p outta me!

Any idea WTH happened out there..???

 

Yes, I had rooted using Unrevoked 3.21... Is that any reason why I faced the issue?

 

Yeah... I rooted using 3.21. But then I happened to read about A2SD+ and wanted to try it out.

So... Took a backup of everything using ROM Manager (if that's wht u call "nandroid" backup). As described, it went fine till the md5 checksum bit and that's it. Entered in to a reboot cycle.

I removed the battery, turned the device on via HBOOT. Wouldn't recover.

Waited for another 5 mins, tried again (recovery, btw, automatically showed the clockwork mod options) and hit restore...

Yeah, things have been fine. BUT. The device has been rather "sluggish"/slow... I was shell-shocked with the constant reboot. Did not read abt it anywhere...

Do you mean to say any further backup using ROM Manager (aka. nandroid) will go just fine? Or do you suggest an alternative.

Thank you for the response, dude...

 

Ah, ok. WIll try doing a backup again.

ANd can you pl tell me wht you mean by "recovery console" to backup something? Are you referring to a backup option provided by something other than the ROM Manager?

 

Understood. Thank you very much, @danfrance. Will keep in mind should this recur in future.
