[HOWTO]- Performing a Nandroid Restore Manually using ADB

[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:
cd c:\sdk\tools
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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:
adb shell
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Now type:
mount /sdcard
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
7. Now you need to change directory again to the one holding your nandroid back-up data, so first type
cd /sdcard
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Then type:
cd nandroid
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
9. Now you need to find the specific name for the folder that holds your Nandroid Backup images, so type:
ls
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and view the list that appears.
10. Now to enter the folder you want to back up to type
cd HT**********
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
obviously replacing the *s with your numbers and letters. FYI the number string is your Device Serial number.
11. Again type
ls
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and view the list that appears.
12. Now to enter the folder you want to back up to type
cd BCD***-********-****
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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:
nandroid-mobile.sh restore
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

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:

as well as here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743457
even been here:
http://forum.xda-developers.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://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517874
As well as:
http://forum.xda-developers.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!

put adb in your path... cd to the apk directory and run adb push *.apk /system....

Dont use this, use jordfaz's clockworkmod, if you really need to use this adb script then you need to get nandroid-mobile.sh script somewhere

10char is a forum meme where you reply to a post in under 10 characters. Yes, you cd to the directory the gfree is in.

ok so do i just say where the file is or do i put the file name too
like cd downloads/gfree_02
or cd downloads/gfree_02/gfree

The directory.

after it says adb is not recongnized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
i dont why it says because i have to adb setup

Are you cd'ing to the folder that has adb.exe in it? that might be it.
edit to add: an easy way to do it is to right click on the folder while you hold down on the shift key. Then select "open command window here". adb.exe is most likely in the SDK tools folder

http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u322/amarbrah/snipe.jpg
what am i doing wrong?

.... do you have the Android SDK installed?

i set up adb using second method of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685 if that helps at all

adb is not going to work if you don't have it (adb.exe) in that gfree_02 folder that you are cd'ing to

As stated before, you have to be in the directory where adb.exe (so the directory you created when you extracted the ADB files from the other thread).
Then place the files you are trying to push in that directory as well. Alternatively, you can setup the location as ADB in your path environment variable (as explained in first part of the guide you linked to).

[Help] Need to factory reset back to stock rom

The right edge of my touchscreen has gone dead, not sure what the problem is, maybe the ribbon cable? I'm not sure, but I contacted htc and they said it's still under warranty and will be repaired (just so long as there's no physical/water damage, ect.) well my phones in pretty good shape, so I'm hoping I wont get charged.
However, I figured I should probably get back to stock and S-On
an quick tutorials on how?

This is why we have a Wiki, and a search function.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Returning_to_Stock
If you have any particular questions, search first, if you can't fix them at that point, then post back to the thread for specific help with a problem.

I can't even figure out the first step :/
how do I check Gfree verify? I type that into terminal emulator, nothing heppens
Edit:
I'm not a n00b and the rest of the instructions look do-able, but how do I do gfree_verify?

bumpity bump bump

It's on the wiki page. You can find it if you search the page for 'gfree_verify'. I've linked the section for you below. Scroll down till you see '5. Verify the success of gfree'.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik..._Root_.2F_.22Permaroot.22.29_using_gfree_v0.7

Thank you both very much

Sorry, I'm trying to unroot it, but it's not working.
When I "$ adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/gfree_verify" it says "no such file or directory exists
But i'm positive that I have gfree, so I decided to skip the verifying
I go down to the next step, (and honestly, I don't know what my main version is) but when I use "# /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.19.531.1" It says "permission denied"

Bump (sorry)

You are positive the you have gfree.
Your device is positive you haven't got gfree_verify.
Guess who's right?
Follow Bharakrama's link, read, follow, success.

I too was sure I had adb and gfree but it wasn't working. I updated my android sdk and path variable and it worked again.
I'm also trying to return to stock. My gfree is working. How do I know if my main version is higher than 1.19.531.1? I'm using Cyanogen. Do you know how I find, or what the CID for Bell Mobility is?

I'm pretty sure I have Gfree, when I rooted it, it got unlocked and I'm now using it on at&t, that means I have gfree, doesn't it?
I'm thinking that I probably have footclans problem with the adb because I had ubuntu on thiis machine before and I just installed windows recently. I haven't had to use adb since then.

Try reinstalling ADB or updating the android sdk.

thanks, everything works now except this:
Disconnect the phone from USB and shutdown the phone.
Boot into hboot by holding <Vol-Down> while powering on.
hboot should load the PC10IMG.zip automatically and the ask you if you want to update. Press <Vol Up> to start the update.
After updating the radio hboot will start again (screen will get dark for some seconds)
If you had the fake S-OFF engineering hboot installed it will be replaced by this process

my screen is really becoming very annoying to use now. I really have to get this factory reset soon so I can send it in.

I really need to get this figured out.

Sorry, but if I can get this resolved by the weekend, it would be wonderful.
anyone know why the factory image wouldn't be writing?
I'll try again tomorrow and record what is displayed across the screen if that will help.

Did you name the file right and check the md5 sum? Also make sure PC10IMG.zip is not is labeled exactly that! not.zip.zip unhide file extensions if your on windows. Also it must be on the root of the sd not in a folder of any kind.

[Resolved] ADB No Longer Working on Android 4.2.2? - Update your ADB!

4.2.2 now enforces RSA authentication via ADB. This is only supported in later versions of ADB.
On Windows, you can see your local user profile folder's .android folder and see if there's a file called 'adbkey'.
Or use 'adb version' to see if you have the latest version. ADB version 1.0.31 is working.
Google just added this in the ADB protocol last November, so you need the NEWEST ADB:
https://github.com/android/platform_system_core/commit/d5fcafaf41f8ec90986c813f75ec78402096af2d
The keys for your hosts are stored at /data/misc/adb/adb_keys, I believe.
If your ADB works correctly, you will see this when you plug in for the first time. You may still have to reseat your cable.

This will not affect all of you.
But on the stock Android 4.2.2 kernel from Google, I cannot get adb to work (always shows 'adb offline') on the stock kernel. This is with my laptop (a Lenovo Thinkpad), and I never had issues with this before with the same setup.
My current workaround is to use a custom kernel for 4.2.2 (thanks to renaud for delivering)
A custom Fugumod kernel that works with 4.2.2 and does not have this issue with ADB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37892325&postcount=2167
Stable builds (future?):
http://fugumod.org/galaxy_nexus/stable-4.2.2/
Please report back with the PC/Mac and possibly the cable you are using, thanks.

In default.prop is new line!
That is ro.adb.secure=1 or something like that, I think this is the issue! changing it to 0 may let you to use ADB!
I gonna test it out in 5 minutes.

It'll ask you to give ADB permission if you're all set up correctly. Mine did...Seems it's a whitelist system now where you can allow or not allow individual PCs to use ADB on your device.

That's default.
I resolved my issue swapping my kernel, not the ramdisk (that's where default.prop is in anyway). Hm...

This never came up for me . Didn't wipe though.
How do you manage devices?

I'm using 4.2.2 and I didn't got that popup!
I extracted boot.img and made it to insecure and changed adb secure line from 1 to 0 and now I can use ADB!

neither did I. Just flashed via TWRP over stock Takju 4.2.1
edit: And about managing devices, I have no idea.

You shouldn't have to make ro.adb.secure=0 default. I think something is definitely wrong with this OTA lol.
Or maybe this is a new feature. Was the screenshot taken with Linux? How the heck do I get a RSA key with ADB on Windows?

Why not!
It lets to use ADB then, now I can use ADB without any issues, before editing default.prop I wasn't able to use ADB!

This is probably a new feature of some sort. Linux works fine, Windows doesn't. Mac probably works too.

Windows works fine for me. Maybe you changed something somewhere. I had 0 problems.

Never changed anything on the phone. Fixed the issue though. I was using an older version of ADB: 1.0.31
Older versions don't support key RSA authentication.

I also had this problem.
Then I deleted some spare copy of adb.exe and its dlls that where installed under \windows\ by some "do-it-all" tool and updated the adb tools with SDK-Manager.
After connecting to the PC, my GNexus asked for confirmation before allowing USB debugging and since then everything is fine :victory:

I updated android sdk tools on my mac today (before that I couldn't launch abd sideload update.zip) and haven't noticed any issues with adb/fastboot commands.

AH, so it's the outdated ADB drivers playing up, perhaps good to mention in OP as a solution.

For me with stock kernel adb and fastboot ok.
I'm using bigxie rom deodex.

It may seem obvious for some, but wasn't for me.

[Q] Can't figure out how to flash CWM via Mac OS X

Hello everyone, I have an OUYA and I really want to get CyanogenMod on it. The first step is obviously CWM. I have tried flashing via this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295645 on my Windows 7 PC, I get the error message "no device found" every time, tried numerous drivers, nothing worked. So I decided to try it out on my Mac. Well its still not working. I run the .sh file and nothing happens.
My question is, how do I do this?
Im kinda new to terminal on Mac OS X, and I've barely used it in Linux, so I think I need some help here :/ I hope someone has advice.

hmm,
On my MBP the script worked,
Did you navigated to the folder with the terminal ? (i'm also not a terminal hero ) and run the script ?. with Osx the "dir" fuction is "ls" so you can see the folders. Navigate to the specific MacOSX folder and with the Ouya and your MAc connected, type ./adb devices (with the ./). It should give you a line with "List of devices attached " and the line below that a long number that stands for your ouya.
Sometimes i had to do this twice or three times for the ouya to show up. If the ouya showes up. Then run type ./InstallOuyaCWMRecovery.sh (with the ./). It should work that way.

ok when first entering the terminal type
Code:
cd \
(then enter, you will see a > enter again)
then type
Code:
ls
( its an L )
you can scroll up but i'm pretty sure there is a folder "Downloads" to get into this folder you have to type (just like windows)
Code:
cd Downloads
As i'm not a terminal hero also i type everything Cap sensitive (this way i know it works)
do the "ls" and "cd" commands until you reach the downloaded folder and you are into the MacOSX folder, then do the
Code:
./adb devices
and if you mac sees the ouya then run the bash file

I pm-ed you.

Re-Mi has helped me solved my issue! Thank you so much!

Here is more detail on what I did, First of all I followed Re-Mi's instructions. Here they are:
So first things first Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2387507
Sideload the app and run the apk
second install the xposed installer (latest apk file at the end of the first post) make sure it's installed (Launch the Xposed Installer and click on "Install/Update" ,Reboot ,Done!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1574401
Then install mod collection for Ouya and install CWM from there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2359390
It's a long detour but i think it will work. After that just install stockplus rom and you got everything you wanted (otherwise you would not even bother to install cwm )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now let me go into more detail. What you do is type the first link into your OUYA's web browser (It is under Make>Software>Web Browser I believe) Then download the file. Now go to Manage>Settings>Advanced>Storage>Downloads and hit the file you just downloaded. Install that APK, hit open, then hit root. Now accept the SU request. After this is done repeat the steps until you have the other file downloaded. Now install that APK for the Xposed Installer and hit "Install/Update" then reboot. Now download the mod collection from the third link.
Install it and install CWM from there. It will take you to a download link, wait a few seconds, then hit install CWM again. Now it'll be installed.
Plug your Ouya into your computer, If its a Mac you will need the program from www.android.com/filetransfer . If its Windows you wont need that. Go in XDA and download whatever ROM tickles your fancy. Drag and drop that into your Ouya's storage. Now on the Ouya reboot to recovery (Via the Mods app)
Now im CWM hit the install zip from SD card, select the .zip of the ROM you chose, and install. Now wait until its all done, reboot, and enjoy!
*IF YOUR OUYA GETS BRICKED, NEITHER I NOR RE-MI NOR ANYONE EXCEPT YOURSELF ARE RESPONSIBLE!*
Good luck! If this helps be sure to thank Re-Mi!!!
