Unable to run nandroid backup

[popezaphod]

I have rooted my Droid 2 using One Click and am having some frustrating issues trying to back up my phone. I cannot get Titanium Backup installed; it keeps claiming I do not have root (which I in fact do). I cannot install busybox either; it claims my nand is locked. I have tried manually installing busybox and that had not helped.

So today I tried to do a nandroid backup. I entered into Recovery Mode and there is no option listed for nandroid. All I have is:

reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
----------------------------
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command


Any advice would be appreciated as I am new to poking around under the hood of any Android device.

did you bootstrap your recovery?

If you mean, "Did I perform a backup before I rooted my device?" then no, I did not.

 

[terpitude71]

what he means is do you have the droid 2 bootstrap app. to boot into clockwork recovery, you need to have that bootstrap app, otherwise youll just boot into regular recovery

I did not have it installed. I do now and it does not appear to do anything; I still go into regular Recovery mode.

 

[corydunbar]

did you run the bootstrap. you cant just install it. it should ask you for root access. if it says "success" and you still cant get into recovery its a different issue.

open [droid 2 bootstrap]> select [bootstrap recovery]> allow SU permissions> if it says success, press reboot into recovery and create a backup.

Turns out something got horked with my root privileges. I derooted and rerooted with SuperOneClick and everything works properly now.
