I just flashed to Ultimate Droid 2.5 and did a few hours of tweaking... Made sure it was stable, etc.

Well....

I am now attempting a nondroid backup and it's been stuck dumping data.tar for over 15 mins now, phone will not show a charge light... none of the hardbuttons are responding. Scared to pull the battery...

Ironic how I named this backup "UD2.5-stable"...

Can I just restart my phone and everything will be where I was at less then 20 mins ago when I shut down my "stable" Ultimate Droid 2.5 flash? Or am I going to be seeing hell down the road?

Using SPRecovery
Droid 1

EDIT: Pulled the battery, booted up fine... so I went back to perform a nandroid backup, went perfectly fine...

Moral of the story... if a backup freezes, it's fine to battery pull.

I'm also having this problem! Been having it for a few days and its driving me nuts! I've pulled the battery a couple times and went back into SPRecovery, but nothing. I've even let it dump data for an hour and nothing. Help!

What rom are you running now? Is it also a version of UD? What happens when you boot manually into recovery?

OK, three too many questions . . . .

I'm currently running Project Elite v4. But I initially had the problem with Charity v11.

Either use the Motocache 1 SBF to reinstall SPRecovery or try reflashing it via ROM Manager. Now see if it does the same thing.

If furman's solution doesn't work:

I knew three was too many, only two got answered, how's about answering this one?

I installed ROM Manager and couldn't reflash SPRecovery. It wouldn't reboot into recovery at all. So I thought I'd try flashing Clockwork Mod Recovery and I was able to perform backups through there. So it looks like I'll be sticking with Clockwork Mod over SPRecovery. I never played around with ROM Manager before. It looks like a pretty awesome program. Thanks for the help guys! Very much appreciated!

Oh, to answer your last question, teddearp, a manual boot into recovery did the same thing, which was nothing. :huh:

If it wouldn't flash SPRecovery you were darn lucky to get Clockwork to flash at all. ROM Manager depends on SPRecovery to clear up errors in recovery. Glad it's working for you.
