HTC Desire :: Backup Not Complete / SD Card Cannot Be Accessed
May 12, 2010
I've had my Desire for about a month and a half now, but have been having problems with my SD Card, which seem to be getting worse. Intermittently I get a message saying something along the lines of 'the backup can't complete as the SD card cannot be accessed'. I also sometimes experience the problem trying to snap a photo, only to be told that there is no SD card (which of course is really annoying). When this happens I can still see the card using the ES File Explorer, including seeing the contents, but if I try to open a file (e.g. a photo) I can't view it.
I have searched the forums/the Internet and the general recommendation seems to be to reformat the card which helps for some people. Someone also suggested the SDMount widget to remount the card when it happens. I've tried using two different cards (the included 4GB card + a 16GB Sandisk card), reformatted both several times, but I still get the problem. I ran a memory card test tool on the 16GB card and couldn't find a problem. The only way I've found to get access back is to unmount the card and then restart the phone. Does this mean my phone is faulty, or could it be some software causing the problem?

If you use this program to back up, then I swap ROMs, will Titanium Restore EVERYTHING back to how it was before I flashed with a new ROM? All texts/emails/apps etc?

I've downloaded firmware and backed up the data stored on the phone when prompted, now after the phone restarted I saw that the main screen is set to a default HTC one, I had my own profile saved onto the phone but I cannot find it after the firmware update. Can you manually backup data form the sd card? Or is it just a normal thing that the update deletes your own main screen setting even if it's saved in the profiles section. I must say I'm quite annoyed with it.

Once I connect phone to the PC do I just copy everything that I see on the drive and paste back onto the new card? Is it really that straightforward? Am just worried it might be like just copying the 'Program Files' folder from one PC onto another and half of the DLL's would obviously not be there as they are in the Windows directory.

For some reason my Desire wont start restoring backed up data from the SD. There is a folder Backup including several .arc -files.Is there a way to start the restoring process manually OR is there a way to handle those files on the PC?It seems, that winzip does not understand the content of those .arc -files.Any hints to how to proceed?

I've recently switched from an iPhone 4 to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Any software that does a complete backup of phone to my PC similar to what iTunes does for the iPhone? Note: I would prefer not to root the brand-new phone since I understand that voids the warranty. Also, a backup to SD card is not possible since the phone does not include one.

So basically I am getting a replacement because my ones a bit faulty and I was wondering if my apps/photos/contacts etc., will be saved to the SD card automatically, or do I have to do something in order to save them on it?

I broke my HTC Desire so did what I thought was a backup to the SD card and sent it away to be fixed. Apparently they couldn't fix it and sent me another one. When I turned the new phone on (after having inserted the SD card) it asked me if I wanted to do system update, I presume this was to 2.2. I said yes. Now I have lost all my contact data (and diary but contact data more important!). If I connect my HTC desire to the PC I can see quite clearly the backup file I made before I sent the HTC desire off to be repaired. Questions is a) does it have my contacts in and b) how on EARTH do I put the contacts back into the HTC desire (sorry if I haven't phrased that very well).

I am using My Backup Pro to backup my phone. While it does a good job it only does a selective backup. Is there a program that I can use on my stock phone to do a more comprehensive backup? Maybe a mirror backup like Nandroid?

I know there are several threads on these topics already, but being redundantly helpful, I took the time to create a single guide with all the above information in one place. I mean, why not?
The guide covers:
Root via unrEVOked3
Titanium Backup
Wireless Tether
AdFree
Nandroid
Boot Animations
Removing Unwanted apps
Custom ROMs and kernels
Completing restores from Titanium and Nandroid Backups
Returning your phone to stock

I plan on buying an HTC Hero when they release it next month for Sprint. Is there a way that I can make a complete backup image of the phone in it's original state before I inevitably screw something up on it?

I search for a way, to make a complete backup. Because i will test some other roms. Complete backup mean somthing like the ftf files for Flashtool. a backup from kernel, rom and personal data's in one way with one file or folder that i can restore later. I think, that this not is possible with Smartphone on, so it must be a way with pc and Smartphone in Flash- or Fastboot mode?

I run the risk of getting flamed for this... but I deem it a worthy thread, as things are constantly changing. I haven't found an up-to-date thread that has satisfied me yet.
I recently joined the Android community with my purchase of the Moto Droid. After a few days, I became interested in the rooting process and gave it a go... upgrading to Froyo. There have been several ROMs I've tried out, but I'm very hesitant to try more due to backups.
Will somebody provide me (in words or a link) the best way to backup all of my applications and data when testing out a new ROM? I tried Titanium Backup (and even donated), yet I never have successfully restored from a backup. Some applications and system data restore, but a ton of apps don't install, and I have to re-enter my email accounts (and appropriate sync settings) every time. This and the number of apps it doesn't restore (especially Swype) makes it not worth messing around with.
I read something about Nandroid backup, but that just looked like it was a backup in case something went terribly wrong with a ROM or something of the sort. Also, it looked like in the Simply Stunning (ChevyNo1) 4.2, there was a built in backup script... but I'd like to be able to venture between ROMs.
I want to be able to backup all of my apps and system data (gmail accounts, sms, etc), install a new ROM, and reload all of my apps and data.

Looking to sell my Desire and obviously I want to completely factory reset it. Will that literally factory reset it? I only ask because I know with previous phones it often only means a soft reset and some details remain.

With the stock pic on the eris is there a way to have pics that are sent to you in a saved location that can only be accessed by a code etc?
Basically, the degrading pics your bros send you. Wife, rightfully so, gets upset when she sees them in my phone and does occasionally look at my phone to cure her bouts of insecurity
I want to have it so if you look at pics you see certain ones but have to go extra steps to see the others.

Reading values like integers, strings, colors, etc. from resources (xml files) is easy and well defined at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/available-resourc.... But what about a float value, like 0.1 or 1.4? How can such float value be defined in resource file and accessed from code? Is it possible at all?

I am using Titanium backup and love it but I just put a new SD card in and flashed to a new ROM. I copied the SD card information that I had backed up on my computer to the new card but Titanium backup will not recognize the titanium backup directory with my apps on it. It says the backup directory is not available. Is there a way I can point it to the backup directory to restore my apps and data?

After moving apps to the SD card, how do you back them up? If I were to do a NAND backup and switch to another ROM, do my apps that I've moved to the SD card show up?
The reason I ask is because I just rooted my 2.2 phone and when I did a restore using MyBackup, none of my apps on the SD card were restored. I had to reinstall them all.

So now that I have a phone with an internal SD card, I am particularly worried about data, or what would happen if I can no longer take it off of a device. Previously an SD card could just be removed from a dead device, but not so now.
I'm using foldersync to mirror data, but I was wondering what were the essential folders to sync. I can figure out most of them, but I'm struggling with the Android folder in root. Is there any valuable information in here or is it all temporary and so not required to be backed up?

I'm finally ready to take this phone back and I wanted to know if it was possible that I could do a complete backup or the closest thing I can do to one from my internal SD card to my external SD card? That way if I ever decide to get an Android phone again I'll have all my apps and settings.

I just rooted. I did a Nandroid backup and it saved it to my SD card. My question is, if I install a ROM that needs to do a full wipe, does it wipe my SD card too? Should I copy the Nandroid Backup folder to my PC beforehand?
