Yes, if he's using AmonRA
If he's using Clockworkmod the recovery is in /clockworkmod/creation date
I think it's best to restore the nand backup with the recovery that it was backed up with..

It's not best. It's a must.

Stop trying to restore backups made with CWM via AmonRA and vice versa and you will not have any issues. Moving the files will not do any good, simply flash the recovery you have used for backup you want to restore.
Yeah I knw I used clockworkmod for backup nd I'm also using the same for restore.. actually I moved my backup image to my PC to Save space on SD card now I moved it back to restore but it wasn't working.. now I knw wht i did wrong . I put them inside nandroid folder.. but I should have used clockworkmod. Thanks for everybody's Help I will try again later with my backup.

File must be in there :sdcard/clockworkmod (something like that) /date of creation. It as to be same folder as clockworkmod made when you did your backup. Happended to me at my first restore. copy my date of creation file in a clockworkmod folder on the root of sdcard and it works fine
Hey all. I wanted to know if it was ok to change the name(s) of my backups in my CWM file from my PC. I'm not a fan of ROM manager and usually do my backups via CWM but it names it by date/time and when I get home I'd like to rename it so I can remember which darn backup it was.
If you rename nandroid backup that was created by CWM, you might get some MD5 errors when restoring that backup.
What you need to do is use ROM Manager for backup, and when you select "Backup Current ROM" you can name your backup and it will be fine.
Next time, use the Search

Sorry, but I did search and the only problem I read about was you couldn't put a space in the new file name. I just renamed my 2 backups and restored with no MD5 errors. I just wasn't sure with the newer CWM version.... Thanks for the reply though.

I have been renaming my backups with spaces with no problem. i think its a little weird that you might have an issue if you were to rename them with a space
so i did a nandroid then renamed the file (didn't touch contents) and apparently that broke the md5 check, now it won't allow me to restore and i don't recall the original file name to change back to. Any way to resolve?.
Delete intervals in the name of the backup.

I did, didn't work. I just deleted and recreated the md5 file in ADB, worked fine. Thanks!
Is it safe to change the names of a CWM backup folder? I remember reading that the CWM on my asus transformer would not restore a backup if the backup was renamed. Also (this is my first android phone), what is the best procedure when restoring a nandroid backup?
restore
wipe ----> restore
flash rom ------> restore
I did a NANDROID backup on Recovery mode but i accidentally changed the file name and i cant undo it. When i try to restore that backup, they say MD5 mismatch. How do i repair it? THanks
Ignore MD5 in settings if you have such .
