Hi
Tried to find a similar thread but failed so I ask here.
I have a 10.1 Wifii & 3G
Did a full backup with Rom manager before doing anything.
Upgraded to overcome ROM 2.
Realized that there was no Swedish language in the ROM, so I decided to go back to the backed up ROM instead.
When I choose Restore in the Rom manager menu, my restore is there and it looks like it is working. It reboots, it checks the files, applies all img and other files, BUT. When it's done it just sits there on the Overcome CwM Recover v5.1.2.6. It feels like it never gets done? I also tried to do a restore from inside the nandroid menu but same thing. I also tried to wipe several time, but same thing. If I try to reboot the 10.1, it gets stuck on the splash screen.
SO, my question.
I really want to keep my data on the sdcard...
Scared of doing the restock on teamovercome homepage because it says
-"IT WILL ALSO WIPE OUT YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE!"
Is there any tips anyone can give me. Is this because my old ROM had different(older) boot files or something?
Please help
Lasse
Try installing CWM 4.0.0.4 using Odin and restore the backup and see if it works.
A small advice: Don't use ROM Manager for creating backups and restoring. Always do from the CWM directly. ROM Manager usually messes up the things

I already had that version, but i tried to downgrade but same issue.
Can one extract data from the backup, example favorities and manually add them ? If so wich img file is that and how do i open them?

You can use the paid version of Titanium Backup.
It can restore individual apps+data from CWM backups
I'm on stock 2.1 with 2.1.1.A.0.6. and my phone's rooted. And I have never been able to use CWM to restore any backups.
Everytime I try, I'm told there's a MD5 sum mismatch. Even if I've made the backup a few seconds before and I'm still in CWM. I've gone into the backups and changed the checksums in nandroid.md5 with the correct ones (or at least I assume they're the correct ones, I use ES File Explorer to generate them). CWM then restores it..but I get thrown into a boot loop when I start the phone.
I do a lot of fiddling to get my phone just the way I want it and every time anything goes wrong (like a ROM not installing properly), I have to reflash the whole thing, re-root it, re-install my app's, re-remove the bloatware, re-set my settings, re-do my widgets, blah-blah-blah..
Anybody any idea what's going on? I'm using ClockworkMod v3.2.0.0-r5.
when you create a backup using clockworkmod NEVER rename the folder its saved all your backup, if you do then that will cause the MD5 to be invalid,
if thats not the issue then try downloading ROM manager from android market and use this app to backup and restore your .img files
Well, I don't rename the folder, I don't rename anything. I think I'm not wiping the right things first. At least, I hope it's something that simple. I'd hate to be the one poor soul on here whose phone doesn't like doing backups..
ROM Manager sounds like the sort of thing I need though, even if I do get CWM working properly.
Many thanks!
I'm running various ICS/CM9 ROMs, and have noticed a pretty consistent problem.
When I perform a backup through recovery, everything goes fine and the last stage creates the MD5 and says backup completed successfully.
I store my backups (based on the ROM) in their own respective folders on my external MicroSD.
I can almost guarantee that 80% of the time when I try to run a restore, I am informed that the MD5 is mismatched and of course the restore operation fails.
I've checked the integrity of my MicroSD, and it's rock solid. Every other file (including ROM installation files and APK's) install flawlessly time and time again - no issues whatsoever.
Can anyone offer guidance? Should I run restore through ROM Manager instead, is CWM recovery not good for backups?
Thanks.
Try making a nandroid, don't move/rename the folder, and then try to restore the nandroid and see if you get the same error.

Ya like he said. Make sure no spaces in your renamed files either.
Another thing is to maybe restore the nandroid using the same kernel that it was created with. A while ago in ICS infancy there was a kernel problem with FIOPs that was preventing restores.
Also check to see if your nandroid has a boot.img in it. Might be causing some issues but maybe not.
i've really only used rom manager in the past, and now with the LTE i'm using Goo manager, and TWRP for a recovery. my question is, for those that want to try a new ROM, what is your procedure for backing up your ROM and apps, etc.? i ask because i flashed to viperROM, and backed it up via TWRP recovery, went to try another ROM out, and then wanted to reflash with the backup i had created, but wasn't sure where to find it to flash back. was it just a matter of not knowing what directory it had been saved into? also, when you make a backup (is it still referred to as nandroid?), do you have to use something like titanium for backup of apps and their data? i take it that's the case but wanted to be sure... maybe i need to do more searching for titanium backup i guess.
edit: just to add that i have used TB root in the past after flashing, only to find that things like some of the games etc. were as if it was a fresh install... no save game data. what's the proper way to ensure that apps are backed up with all of their associated data? or is that something that's more of a case by case/manual thing?
So this is what happened.
I backed up all my apps using Go Backup, so there's now about 500MB worth of files all waiting to be restored. The reason I did the backup was that I was to flash a new ROM, which I did.
However, upon reinstalling Go Backup, I found that it doesn't recognize my backed up files anymore compared to the previous days I used it. Researching about the issue I soon realized that the problem is encountered my numerous people, all of whom losing their files because of Go Backup's inability to recognize files from their last update.
I tried installing Pro and the previous versions, but it wasn't successful.
Yes, I can install the apk files one by one, but that would be quite a hassle whenever I'd flash a new ROM. Anyone can help us on this one?
Thank you so much.
EDIT: So I tried reinstalling each apk with their corresponding tar files. Turns out there are some that can't be installed, the games. Agent Dash and Subway Surfr apks, for instance, would give me the message: there was a problem parsing the package. I guess I need Go Backup after all.

I've faced this before and i lost a lot of data because of Go backup. I was forced to move to a much better alternative such as MyBackup Pro or if you're rooted then you can use Titanium Backup no backup application can beat Titanium!
Yeah, in the end I had to abandon my save files.
I'll make it a point to use TB from now on. Thanks.
You're welcome mate be careful next time!

Hey I think I found a fix for ya. I just went through the same thing. I flashed a ROM and boom! I can't update jack even though all my data was on my external sd card. Uber gay. But here's a quick step by step:
1. Download and load gobackup
2. Make a backup of anything at all. It can be 1k of stuff for all i care.
3. Go to gobackup and check the settings you should see the file path (or something similar to it) /storage/sdcard0/GObackup/Allbackup
4. In any event check the path (this/that/sdcard/blahblahblah...) and make sure you have that Allbackup at the end. That's why you did step 2 is to get that folder loaded.
5. However you'd like, I used root explorer to copy and paste it, or you can simply use the USB funtion, but find the gobackup file in your external sd, pick out your backup and place it in the Allbackup folder mentioned in steps 3 and 4. And voila! Open gobackup and it'll be there. I hope it works for you to.

didn't work for me either.
I can see it all mnt/emmc/gobackup/allbackup/newbackup
this is the path the app refers to at its base - but cannot restore from it
guys does not worket for me either im so mad right now!!!!
all of my contacts and sms and all other thing is gone
but i find my prev back up on dropbox
its working but its my old back up and i need my last back up
this app is bull ****!!!!!!
Same problem, but I won't give up without fight.
Anyway, I tried to change permissions, add exceptions in system files, format card - non of this helped. Still Go Backup is useless in every way. Here are some screenshots, maybe they will help someone solve this problem.
Hi. Finally fix that
after flashing new ROM, i made a new backup (from 1 sms, 1 contact and 1 call log that i make me).
then rename old backup to name of new backup, after delete the new backup in file manager. (Ex. "2013-09-12_16-30-18_sms.dat" to "2013-09-14_02-50-09_sms.dat"
and restore new backup in Go backup that contain old data!
Sorry for my bad Eng
thanks
