Can I remove my Nandroid backup from external SDcard on phone to my PC, and then when I wanna use it, put it back on phone?
Will the backup work then and be recognized by CWM recovery
Yes, you should copy it to a PC for safety. Make sure you have a copy of your /efs folder on your PC too

I used HC-kTool to backup my EFS. I got 2 files: a .img file and a tar.gz file

How do I flash this via cwm? I tried putting the file into sdcard/clockworkmod/backup and choosing restore in cwm but nothing.. then file disappears. Do I need to zip the file first or?.. I really need this.

ok all you have to do is put the file it should be in a folder already and if its in a zip or rar extract it then put in sdcard then put it in the folder clockworkmod which should be on your sdcard already then inside the backup folder and if you dont have any do the following
on the root of your sdcard make a folder called "clockworkmod" no caps then inside that another folder called "backup" then inside that one put the extracted filed then boot to recovery and choose restore from external sdcard and you should see the file
GoodLuck

That's what I thought. Because when I backed up my current rom. It was in a folder. So either method would've worked I just didn't create an extra folder. Thanks.

Wait you dont have unlocked bootloader do you? ((extra info)and so you know when you flash a recovery to unlocked bootloader it registers as a P760 phone and artas recovery registers as a P769) it all depends how he did the backup thats why you get md5 mismatch but then again sometimes it acts really stupid but ask him what recovery he used to backup artas or unlocked bootloader
The backup file that you downloaded will have a specific folder name. Usually the date and time it was made. You will get a mismatch if you modify the folder name. Just extract the backup to the backup folder.
sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/date and time/files

Thats actually not true i always modify the name of my backups and i never get md5 mismatch

Then its probably as you said, backup compatibility.
Or the files are actually corrupt.
If you feel like living on the edge, you can modify the nandroid.md5 file to match the md5 of the files that have a different number. I do this when I want to install a different boot or recovery img that was not backed up with the original.
Edit:
Or check if the md5 numbers are actually correct. Type (in a terminal)
md5 <name of file>
Example
md5 recovery.img
and compare that number to the number found in the nandroid.md5

First of all, do u have any backup of efs? If yes then try to restore it and if not then try the following methods.
Flash latest stock firmware.
Root ur device.
Install x-plore or any root file browser.
Go to root directory and open /efs folder.
Open /efs/FactoryApp/keystr and edit and write 'ON'
Open /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode and edit it and write 'ON'
Change permission of both file to 744 mode and restart ur device. It may help u to get ur phone working. Try it now.

The permissions for the folder and each files are different. Some files has permissions 744 and some files has 755 and the permissions of efs folder is 711

Could you elaborate. Take a screenshot folder "EFS" in the resolution and in the folder contents show what should set the resolution?
Update: Apparently the phone will connect via USB to my iMac but not my regular PC (while my brother's identical phone will connect to both), so I slapped Windows in a VM and now can use LGNPST. Makes sense, it does not.
My computer (using either Windows or Linux) won't recognize my phone anymore but I need to get it back to stock everything (including bootloader, recovery, etc). Can't use LGNPST or KDZ for the aforementioned reason. Stupidly, I failed to retain backups of my /sdcard/freegee directory (with aboot, sbl{1,2,3}, boot and recovery).
Anyone feel like making an archive of their /sdcard/freegee backup tree and uploading it somewhere?
Feel free to laugh, since I've been doing Android-related development since 2010.
I just made an efs backup with efsflashablemaker.zip.... Maybe that will help? I believe u can push the files thru adb if ur phone is unbootable.. Just don't ask me the command lines cuz I couldn't help lol
