i flashed all three images successfully but i still ended up in a bootloop

I've looked around way to much about this. I'm running JF1.5 with the Engineering bootloader. the forums seem to say that there should be an Alt+B in the bootloader options, that busybox, etc is built in to create backups.

Do I need to grab the nandroidv2.zip form the first post of this thread and install with the Alt+S?

Thanks!

I am rooted and have JF 1.51 right now but don't have the option for alt+b. Everything I've read regarding nandroid talks about running update.zip files from other builds.

With that being said, what do I need to do (without losing JF 1.51) to get Nandroid on my G1?

mbreezy, use fastboot and load the 1.43 recovery img from JF

Need more info on this... You did a backup, then flashed to something else, then restored, and NOW get a bootloop?

Your language syntax is atrocious, so it's hard to determine what you mean by any of it.

The important thing I'm trying to find out is if your restored backup is suspect of a bootloop or what. If so, then your only option is to wipe; if it's a separate flash to say 1.5 from 1.3 or 1.4, you're almost guaranteed to need a wipe anyway, so you should start with that, and reflash. That's what you get for using hacked OS's

I have used it and it works flawlessly. You should probably also make a folder on your desktop machine to store your nanadroid backups in case your sd card bites the bullet.
