It means you are back to stock recovery. Either flash kernel which have CWM or use temporary CWM zip file and restore old backup.

You will not have CWM, as its a Stock Kernel with the ROM.(coz of a Flash Brick Issue)

This is taken from the official post on the checkrom website here: http://checkrom.com/threads/rom-xxlq5-4-0-4-checkrom-revohd™-v7.844/
Thats why you cant find it you will have to install it yourself
Using temporary CWM may lead to brick. Especially on 4.0.4.
So, flash 2.3.6 with Odin, then kernel which has root + CWM, enter to reco, mount USB storage, copy your backup to card, unmount, restore. Should work.

did you make a nandroid backup using clockworkmod recovery before you installed the custom rom? If you did, just boot into recovery and restore (volume down+power till you get a screen with recovery and download options, then press volume down till you highlight recovery and then press volume up to select it. Once in recovery go to nandroid->restore and choose the date you want to go back to)
If you did not make a backup, you can install the rom in the link below to go back to stock. However you will have to let market download all your apps again unless you have a backup of the apps and their data too using something like titanium backup.

unfortunately i didnt keep a copy of my rom - i have downloaded the rom in the link and will install that.. Thanks
And this is how we learn the first rule of flashing. Always make a backup. If something were to go wrong during the flash and you could only enter recovery, a nandroid backup will be your best friend.
Have fun flashing!
totally agree with you - see what didnt make sense to me is did a back up of the rom and everything however as it was saved in my tablet so when i did the clean install it wiped away my data......
Did you wipe from stock recovery? Stock recovery will indeed wipe your internal storage. CWM recovery will not.

Hi! I accidentally replaced nandroid with TeamWin Recovery Project. The problem is that TWRP wont let me flash anything as it always gives an error saying no md5 file found or something on the lines of that. So I was just wondering if theres any way I can go back to nandroid or reinstall it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Do you have CWM recovery installed? If so, boot into CWM and choose restore from backup...

I can't use CWM anymore because i accidentally installed TWRP. When I boot into recovery it goes to TWRP and not CWM.

Go to the Play Store, download Rom Manager. Open it up, it will prompt you through reflashing CWM Recovery again. It will basically do it for you.
Install the rom manager, reboot the phone in recovery mod and select backup and restore, go vth advance restore, and more over don't rename or move the folder to different directory , make sure u keep the backup in ur PC ...

He can't do that till he installs CWM. Which is what he must do if he wants to use a Nandroid Backup he did in CWM Recovery. He currently has TWRP Recovery installed. The Backups made on one Recovery, or the other are not interchangable. So if you made a Nand while having CWM Recovery installed, it will not work with TWRP Recovery. Or vise versa.

My current CWM is giving me errors mounting /system and /data, and I can't restore my nandroid backup.
Anyway to do it using another CWM (link, please), or any way at all? So far, everything I've read says another CWM version won't work (well, that and there aren't many choices on our device).
EDIT: Fixed it by doing a clean install and using Titanium Backup to restore from my nandroid backup.

Your /system, /data and /cache are in rfs or ext4?
I just used ODIN to go back to the stock ROM, so that might have changed something.
Currently:
Code:
/dev/stl9 [b][u]/system rfs[/b][/u] ro,relatime,vfat,log_off,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=cp437 0 0
/dev/stl11 [b][u]/data rfs[/b][/u] rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=cp437 0 0
Cache seems nonexistent.
EDIT: Just so I'm not misunderstood. I still want to restore my nandroid backup. I only flashed stock from ODIN so I could use my phone.

Hmm . . . but when you create a backup which recovery you used? RZR, CWM 5.0.2.8 or CWM 5.0.2.6 temp?

I feel kind of stupid not looking at the nandroid backup now that I just did.
When I did the backup, my system/cache/data were in ext4 format.
Also, I did it using rafael's permanent CWM, so I think that would be 5.0.2.8.
Fixed the issue by flashing Rafael's latest kernel (E3 version) then using temp CWM to restore.
Didn't really fix anything as I think I soft bricked my phone again.
EDIT: Fixed it by doing a clean install and using Titanium Backup to restore from my nandroid backup.
U can use cwm 5.0.4 that type of version which is still there in android development section.that is good.

That's a boot partition error
Flash firmware through Odin and don't forget to tick re-partition
Sometimes just flashing Boot loader file fixes everything

Sorry
Didn't saw you fixed it

I had the same problem...when i flashed the latest kernel with permanent CWM. I did the same. Did a clean install then flashed the e3 kernel. I guess clean install requires a new stock kernel to be flashed over it...to solve the issue

Problems restoring a nandroid backup
Hi,
I hope it's ok to post my troubles just right here. Sorry for any inconvenience.
my phone is a XT910 with Android 2.3.6 my phone is rooted and I needed to go back to factory settings.
I have never experimented with any other roms. the stock rom (factory settings) work ok.
Now I try to restore a backup I made with "online-nandroid". Rom manager says CWM 3+ is used for my phone.
When I try to get int recovery mode, the screen stops with a driangle with an exclamation mark in it.
the only way to move on is to press vol up and vol down. That's how I get to a menu.
unfortunately I can't choose one of the two options:
- Android system recovery <3e>
and
- Android system recovery utility
a yellow
qe1/1
appears
as well.
I stuck - please help.

You can root by flashing Phillz kernel via odin tar or through stock recovery zip file.

Hi guys. I wanted to go back from cm10.1 to stock 4.1.2 and did a nandroid backup with cwm 6.0.2.7 touch and saved my data also with titanium backup.
After flashing stock JB I couldnt find the titanium backups anymore which I realized are stored on internal card so after wiping everything my data is gone. Ja I know my fault. But then I thought I can just restore the nandroid backup I just made to have everything how it was before, but after doing it my screen stopped at the samsung galaxy s3 screen and didnt boot anymore.
Of course I made the backup with 6.0.2.7 and restored it with th same version, but I dont get why its not booting correctly :S
After that I thought I just root the stock phone and flash cm10.1 and try to restore again but it also didnt help.

CWM doesn't work without root access. Have you tried to install a complete new stock ROM from Sammobile.com? Even though this doesn't recover your data, your phone might work again.

My phone works just fine. The problem is to flash the cm10.1 nandroid backup successful to get my internal sd memory back.
btw I tried to copy the backup to internal sd but then it says md5 sum mismatch god damn it..... I just wanna have my internal sd card files back. grrrrrrrr
If you have Phil's recovery use the aroma file manager to find and move the back up so it can be seen as I'm guessing you are suffering the sd/0/0 etc problem

I guess Im just ****ed... I tried moving it with aroma and then it says error again. its just possible for me to restore the nandroid with cwm which I originally had and just from external sd and even then the logfile says everything is fine just restoring system is an error. that sucks cuz I cant boot the phone then to get access to my internal space via usb
or is there another possibility to restore internal card to get access????
Have you changed recovery versions between creating the backup and trying to restore it?

Yes it does. Recovery and root are completely unrelated. Read the root guides.
Step 1 - flash recovery via odin
Step 2 - flash su zip via recovery
CWM can flash zips, backup and restore without root access to android. Root access is within android only

What's up? Does it not boot? Everything you posted above looks normal so can't advise.
I would recommend updating to latest anyway as 6.0.2.7 hasnt got SDS fix.

No it doesnt boot if I try ro restore the backup I end up seeing Samsung Galaxy S3 screen and thats it....
I just updated to cwm 6.0.3.2 and made a backup and it also showed the above problem but this one restores and boots correctly :S
Another idea is. When I made the first backup with 6.0.2.7 I was also running on yank555 1.6c kernel. Is that important to set up the restore with a running system and this exact kernel? Please tell me what to do if so.

Nandroid backup takes
boot.img (kernel)
system.img (ROM)
userdata.img (Your stuff)
Its okay. Somehow I got the data restored with advanced restoring which didnt work with 6.0.2.7 but with 3.2.
close here.
