Hello there guys.
I've done a full backup with clockwork but if i try to restore it i get a error message about the boot image...i can't restore it. now i was able to restore system..data..and so on via advanced restore...i get no boot animation but the system is up an running. i can't get the wifi to work...what can i do now?
I used a clockwork 4.0.1.4 with root enabled..i flashed it whit Odin.
Thanks guys
forgot to mention I own a Galaxy S 2
Flash a clean stock rom as your backup is corrupt.

Same issue
I took a full backup with CWM (4.0.0.2) to test a Kitchen ROM. After getting it to work I wanted to switch back to my standard ROM (CF-Root KE7), but it failed with the boot image ("error flashing boot image").
If the backup was corrupt I would expect the MD5 to fail, but it didn't. Like the OP I was able to restore all the other items one by one, which now gives me a Frankenstein ROM: KE7 with the Kitchen-selected Kernel (Ninphetamine) and baseband (KH1).
I'll flash a new stock ROM with CF-Root again, but I am doubting CWM now.
I have a backup previously saved onto SD card.
And then after failing to move onto another rom, I want to restore back to my old one. So I flashed stock rom WKE7.
And rooted it, so I have ROM manager, CWM and Superuser.
I go into CWM and choose Restore, and select it.
Then it reboots to recover, but gets stuck on:
"Checking MD5 sums..."
Any help please?
Thanks in advance
Try turning your phone off and booting into recovery using the buttons and then restore. It's also best to backup from recovery rather than using the cwm app or rom manager.

I used dirty racun to S-Off the phone and I have sucessfully installed TWRP however I need to restore my nandroid backup so I installed CWM Rom manager and installed the rom. When I do I can get to the first screen in recovery but whenever i chose an option the text disappears but the main icon in the center of the screen remains. This occurs when I try to flash the recovery via command line or w/ the rom manager tool. I tried to restore the backup from the rom manager but it says no backups are found so I need to do this from recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave
Don't use rom manager use twrp
I understand it messes up the misc partition but I have a nandroid backup of this phone using CWM which I really need to restore. I don't know of any other way to retain that data aside from getting CWM working again. Know of anyway I can extract that data.img, boot.img, system.img file and the nandroid.md5 and manually get this to boot?

Error booting after messing with undervolt ex-tweaks settings.
After trying to flash with odin a recovery I got the msg Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I have a custom rom (RR 4.1.2)
I have a backup from cwm
How can I restore this backup from odin, is it possible?
or
I have to install the rom again, install cwm and then restore the backup?
Please

Flash a stock based kernel like the Philz kernel you will get a recovery along with it, restore nandroid backup.

One more step, please!!!
Can someone tell me how to custom restore from my backup. My backup is 5 months old and don't want to totaly restore it with the recovery.
what options do I have to choose at the custom recovery screen?
1. The bootloader (I can enter into recovery mode but cannot boot normal). Am I gonna loose the recovery func? because when backed up didn't have it!
2. The kernel (To make the phone to boot into recovery I flashed the Philz kernel)
3. ex-tweaks start up values (This is what I mess, if I can restore the values from my backup everything will boot normal)
PLEASE!
Edit-
I try to restore the boot from my backup but error MD5 mismatch came up
Please help
2nd edit
How I fixed it:
After I was trying kernels from the date of my last backup, one worked. The only program until now missing was extweaks, so I first reset the profile from the recovery screen and then I installed it.
Everything works now
I'll try to keep this short:
I STUPIDLY....tried to use the new CM installation of the mod via my pc (their new method). I had made a backup of my original at&t firmware on my internal card...using my preferred method, TWRP.
Now, once the CM installation completed, it gave an error and I decided the heck with that, and I installed Rom Manager back on my phone and selected my original backup; and then....it booted in the CWM recovery and guess what....when I go to restore from sdcard, it CANNOT FIND THE BACKUP.!! I rebooted and looked in rom manager, and its there. Now at the top of the rom manger window, it it showing twrp as the recovery method, but when reboot, it goes only to CWM.....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to get my backup rom back on my device!!!
Forgot to mention: Once I got the error, it did boot into CM and now I'm stuck on CM. From there, I reinstalled Rom Manager and tried to restore from my backup.

It sounds like you may have to use fastboot to flash twrp recovery. Or try to sideload it.

I was able to use ADB to flash it, and when I rebooted, TWRP was there, but...my backup did NOT appear in my backups. I have since flashed a different from; figuring by chance something might be cleared up, guess what.... When I open Rom Manager, my backup is there, (and twrp is indicated as recovery) it FRICKEN REBOOTS in CWM and from there, I can't see my backup; or anything in my storage!!! The only backup I see using CWM is one that i created using CWM and its NOT the one I want/NEED!
I'm thinking hard about trying to return it, again, to stock (unroot), but that's what started all my issues in the first place! LOL!
My problem unfortunately remains, in that I have a backup created in TWRP, that I can't restore to! Is it possible to use ADB to restore a nandroid back up:? I have the backup saved in my adb folder, it is however not a zip file, it saved as just a folder.

your problem is Rom Manager quit installing it.
use es file manager and move your backup to the new twrp folder
I'm guessing the old backup is in data/media/twrp/backup/ move it to data/media/0/twrp/backup
reboot to recovery (twrp) and restore and your all set
