[Q] Unable to CMW restore - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Hi yea I have the ra-hero-1.5.2 installed...
Is there another Programm to restore the data I made with nandroid? Can you give me a tutorial how that to restore directly in the nandroid recovery?
First, you need to copy the "nandroid" folder from your old SD card to your new one. Then, boot into Recovery Mode by shutting the phone down, then hold the Home button while you turn on the phone. (you can let go of the Home button after you get the start-up vibration.) From the Recovery Mode, select "nandroid restore" or whatever the similar option is. This will restore your most recent backup.

(Q) HELP...Cant get out of Recovery!

So I installed Rom manager and rooted but have not put any custom roms on the phone yet. Only things I have done was to put VOODOO lag fix and battery widget on phone. I made 2 backup files in ClockworkMod recovery under the nandroid option and thought I would verify that the last backup I did was good. I went through the rom manager into the recovery and into backup/restore and restored my last backup in ClockworkMod recovery. It started the backup and on the screen right now it shows it is restoring system and then starts restoring data and gets to this point and stops:
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0
Checking MD5 sums...
Restoreing data...
fota
It has been on the screen for about 45min. If I pull the battery and restart the phone it comes right back to the recovery screen. The only change I made on the phone prior to restoring my backup was to go into rom manager and updated clockworkmod to the latest version. I can get into download mode. Would I just need to get it into download mode and copy a different backup file onto the phone? Any help is appreciated!
Go into download mode and re-flash from the computer. Odin is your friend...

I used a clockwork 4.0.1.4 with root enabled..i flashed it whit Odin.
Thanks guys

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.

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

[Q] CWM Recovery erased after reboot?

Hello,
I have just successfully rooted my S3 using "Heimdall Frontend" following the tutorial here:
However I found initially when leaving "No Reboot" unchecked I was unable to boot into CWM until I checked no Reboot then once the flash was complete I manually went into CWM by holding the recovery keys.
I then installed the SuperSu zip file on my SD card and rebooted my phone into it's newly rooted state.
HOWEVER.. I went to boot my S3 into CWM Recovery to flash a custom ROM and I'm only able to boot into the standard android recovery.. It says on the tutorial that versions 4.1.2+ need to tick "No reboot" otherwise the newer firmware simply wipes over CWM recovery every reboot..
I was under the impression that CWM was there as a safety net in case my phone ever played up and needed to be unrooted?
read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911726
UPDATE: After using ROM Manager to boot into CWM to create a backup, it gave the option to "Fix reflashing to original recovery after reboot"
Is it a good idea to have CWM permanently flashed as my recovery? How would I revert back to the stock recovery should I want to unroot the device?
Thanks
