[HOW TO] Perform a Nandroid Restore via the Android Debug Bridge (ADB)

(This guide assums that you have already installed and set up adb tools on you PC)

1. Start phone in recovery mode, by turning it on while holding "Home" and "Power" buttons.

2. Plug the phone into the PC with a USB cable

3. Start Windows Command Prompt on your PC, by pressing Start on your PC and typing CMD into the run or search bar depending on your operating system. Then selecting Command Prompt.

4. Within the command prompt window, change the directory to the one your adb tools are by typing the following:

The path you put in may be different to this example, as it depends where on your PC your adb tools are kept.

5. Then type:

6. Now type:

7. Now you need to change directory again to the one holding your nandroid back-up data, so first type

8. Then type:

9. Now you need to find the specific name for the folder that holds your Nandroid Backup images, so type:

and view the list that appears.

10. Now to enter the folder you want to back up to type

obviously replacing the *s with your numbers and letters. FYI the number string is your Device Serial number.

11. Again type

and view the list that appears.

12. Now to enter the folder you want to back up to type

obviously replacing the *s with your numbers and letters. FYI the format of these digits is BCDXYZ-YYYYMMDD-HHMM from when the back up was created.

13. Now type:

14. Just press enter to select default.

15. Double check that the Default backup that is found is the one you want then press enter again.

Your selected backup will now be restored. When your CMD window looks like the one below you can reboot your phone and it will be as you remember it.

A big thanks goes to Pulser, without whom I would still be stuck, and this guide wouldn't have been written.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] del_toro:
Nice. But are steps 6-12 really necessary? When in shell it should enough enter nandroid-mobile.sh -r, press enter to get you the list of available backups, pressing enter once again restores the last backup, or if you want an older just type the full name of that backup.

Install apk

Hello Fellow Androids!

If this is off topic, please accept my apologies. I am searching through all of XDA for a simple solution to adding apk. Now before you start bashing, please keep in mind that I am well aware of the "search" options + google + XDA etc.

Long story short, I have:

1) Rooted

2) Fashed many Roms (currently on Stock 2.1)

3) Lag Fixxed (see signature)

4) Removed Bloatware

5) I am familiar with ABD and commands

Problem:

All I'm trying to do is install certain "apk"s using ADB. I am well aware of the Program that installs/ pushes apps automatically that are found in G1 + Vibrant + HTC + Droid Forums without having to do any typin......BUT.....I would like to know my way around ABD <----Main reason why i dont want the easy way out.

I have been here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=716806

as well as here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743457

even been here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740545

I know what you are thinking, why not use them? As i said before, i would like to be efficient with ADB. So...

I have tried methods found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=517874

As well as:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719

The problem I am having is:

Whether i navigate to my folder (desktop with all my apps) and use either

"adb push app /system/sd/app

adb push app-private /system/sd/app-private"

or simply

"adb install <path to file> - Example: adb install c:/apps/apps2sd.apk"

I always get the error: "cant find <whatever apk> to install"

No matter which directory i have it, i get that message.

Note:

1) I have debugging on

2) I mounted sd <----also tried Without mounting

3) I have used the same command when I removed bloatware but i understand Adding apks are slightly different.

4) I have all the drivers installed + Microsoft's .net framework + etc

What am i doing wrong?

All Critics, input, education bashing (just not hating) lol are welcome. Thanks!

[HD2 General] Archer:
CSV is a comma delimited file, and can be from any source that is capable of creating it. It's not a file format that is associated with any one particular source.

I've read somewhere that you can associate the CSV file extension with Excel, and then you can simply click the CSV file to open it.

If it were a PC, I could tell you how to do this, but don't know how to do it on WM. Do a bit of googling or search the general XDA forums for associating file type with applications. That may help.

[Touch2 Themes and Apps] yayyap159:
erm this may be in the wrong section? but anyway, HD2 uses capacitative touch screen..... so it does not work with a styus (pen). So it would be pretty useless.... One idea for the stylus is to use a conductive material to conduct electricity from your fingers to the tip of the pen...... Then it would work......

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] futureshock:
Hy Guys....

just a quick question to all Manilla Chefs out there....

i had the idea to edit the Manilla, when its possible, to get a Sliding Manilla...

i mean if you look at the iPhone, when you drag the Screnns to the side the next Screenwill smoothly slide in...

in Manilla, whipping with the finger on the screen just manilla jumps to the next page...

i think it shouldn't be the Problem to get the pages too slide, the bottom slider did the trick allready... just want this "goodie" on the hole manilla...

and i doenst need to get the greyed out and big tab Icons while sliding...

hope you understand what i mean...

just an idea but someone has some ideas or knowledge to did this trick!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NSider:
I remember when the Diamond and Manila 1.0 first came out, there was an animation each time you changed tabs in Manila. It was deacticated later since it was way too slow and people wanted their TF3D experience fast and snappy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] itoYo:
its not very handy to have the slide function as per iphone as:

say you want to go to the second last page, the mannilla scroll bar allows to get there in a single controlled swype but if you had the page scroll like the iphone you would have to scroll through each page or scroll backwards (if its possible) to get to that page.

the point im trying to make is the iphone scroll may well look pretty but the single swipe manilla scroll bar is far more efficient! ask yoursel, is it usefull?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] richardirv:
I understand that it wouldn't work very well if it were like the iPhone. Personally I would just like to see the animation back like it was when the diamond came out, I know it was slow then but surly out snapdragon should lap it up now?......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] futureshock:
i can confirm that i had the multi swap idea earlier...

nothing to complain about that... this not as handy like now is...

but it looks more smooth...

i found a youtube video where you can see the "old" manilla style did this... its not just swipe the page... .. that was the cause because htc calls his interface 3D ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6TLqDcAJDo

look around 5:40 .... there the guy starts to use it...

maybe its still in the sense? only disabled as we did on tfl3d on diamond by our own? any one knows the keys anymore?? just searched the forum but didn't find something...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] futureshock:
hey correct me if i'm wrong...

the 3d slide effects only happens on diamond when clicking a tab...

when sliding the figer over the tab bar it is like in sense 2.5 ... big curtain with big tab icon will apear??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] richardirv:
Thats it, I want that back!! Looks so much slicker!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] futureshock:
hey again... i found something...

it wasent a tweak what disabled it...

it was htc himself...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2576833

but maybe its possible to get the animation back....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] loomx:
I agree, i think it looks crap when you swipe and tap and a tab and there is no animation. If it faded or slide it would be much better. Even the old style was really nice. I think it actually makes it feel more responsive too because its doing a animation while the page loads :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Ruudfood:
Looks pretty slick! I'd like that back too.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kuzibri:
Have a try with MaxManila 2.5 v 2.7 Main beta: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551489

This gives you the possibility to swype from page to page (from left to right or vice versa).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] body85:
what??? Where can i set this in MaxManila??? It´ll delete the animation for the shortcuts... :-) but i cant see an option for a page sliding....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kuzibri:
the only way to find this out is to install MaxManila 2.5 version 2.7 beta. After that you'll see that you're able to swype from left to right or vice versa without using the "bottom icons slider". It also will not delete your shortcut animations. It even will allow you to hide the shortcuts and bring them back with a swype of your finger from bottom to top of the screen. Read the post of the OP carefully to understand what this theme does.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] body85:
........ok so u can slide without with from tab to tab... but the thread means a SLIDING ANIMATION...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] loomx:
would it be possible to take the animation files from the old manila and adapt them for sense?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] futureshock:
ok doesn't really understand what you mean...

i can also swipe without maxmanilla without using the tabslider from page to page!!

just wipe obe the main aera...

what we want to get is an animation between the page slides...

dooing this now just jumps from one page to the other... not nice, and it feels and looks like a bit rough ... not as smooth as iphone did this... and i think the smoothnes factor that many iphones users evertime despite is this sluggish hopping page changing in manilla....

Microsoft did it a way better in the new 6.5 Starmenu... just look great and give a good feel...

also the Tab Slides is "animated" like we wannt... why HTC didn't do that onthe "mainpages" ???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] futureshock:
maybe yes...

its a starting point to look into an old cab and looks what manilla files did there...

but i'm far away from knowing the manilla depths that we need to implement them...

maybe one of the manilla gurus out there do the trick for us poor people :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] body85:
it would be so nice... if we can slide to the half...hold...and back... like in Iphone Today or Mobile Shell....

thx, for the port, this will be a sweet rom once it works correctly :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BlazerRazor:
Pretty good rom and port. A lot of things still needs to be working before I will consider using this daily. First of all, the default messaging application is not able to find contacts when using the "to" field. You are however still able to send, you just need to use the people application. Google Sky does not work either, and I suspect a couple of others not working either.

Other than that it works pretty good. Some of the animations are VERY clunky while others are very smooth. Window prompt popups are very slow while scrolling etc. is very fast.

I look forward to trying this rom out when it's more usable. The camera drivers should also be out next week.

Hi, the rom seems to work pretty well, but definitely isn't ready for every-day use yet. Some nice new features (e.g. enhanced clock), and I really like the new lockscreen and the new homescreen makes more sense - Always bothered me how the menu launcher was so much smaller that the phone one, when there are so many ways of launching the dialer, and I use the menu much more anyway.

Is it possible to add some more IME launguage's? I would really love to see Danish for the HTC keyboard :)

Too bad that the original phone app doesnt work yet :(

Just to help others before they choose to install

On my device following things doesnt work:

People - Is really slow

Sense - Will often force close if you have the big calendar

Phone - Force close on number press

Messaging - Cant choose contacts in "to:"

Email - Loops a force close when try to open

Mount USB - wont connect

Cam - no drivers yet

Bluetooth - no drivers yet

Teeter - Force close No G-sensor drivers installed

Generally performance issues with a lot of lag

What works:

Tether

Wifi

Mobile networks

Browser

Google Maps

does not sound good. but I had the same problem a week ago. I had flashed a ROM and used the wrong port 32A. phone had a "semibriked" I only had access to fastboot and hboot.

I'm trying to get my Dream back to where it was just after rooting and flashing CM 4.2.8. I wiped my rooted Dream and flashed "signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip" then flashed "update-cm-4.2.8-signed.zip". That all went fine.

But a strange problem... The battery stays at 0% (The battery's voltage is 3.92v out of phone on DMM, a 3.7v nominal Li-Ion should be 4.2v when full) and if I unplug the USB cable it shuts down, the phone will also ONLY boot when connected to USB.

Also if I select reboot from the OS, it will switch off but not restart.

Do I have to discharge the battery out of the phone? (I have Li-Ion/Li-Po charger/discharger)

Or is there another way to get the phone to recognize the full battery?
