Hi, I am having trouble restoring a nand backup. It cannot find the file on either int or ext sd. The only time it did was when I was on extsd and had missed out the blob folder but then it stopped at the recovery point with an error.
Has anyone got any suggestions? Ive been trying various things and looking on the net for the past four hours.
Where did you put the backup ?.
Smells like you wiped backup.

It isnt fully compatible. Use the cwm that is in chanfires root thread in dev.

what version of CF root are you using?

MD5 = file signature does not match probable corruption or different file .

It`s another way to make a restore if I did a backup with CWM?
What did you backup ???
On what phone and what app to backup .
What CWM recovery are you using .
or are you trying to restore a backup from a different phone ??
Post is rather confusing .

MD5 is a way to control a TAR file.
It will missmath as well if you try to access the file via 7-Zip for instance.
Try to find same file elseware from the web, or excrtact end rebuild a direct tar file.
Good luck
I don't like CWM4 on CF-root
The reason i don't like it is: It makes the recovery disappear after about a day of use, Then i have to reflash, i don't want to do that.
CWM removes it's self for me
The thing i don't like about CF-Root, is and this may be my fault, It freezes some of my rooted apps that freeze bloatware (Easy Freezy) and it also removes the custom recovery by it's self
When i go into the app and click reboot recovery, it boot into Android system recovery.
I then have to reflash in order to get ClockworkMod back.
This other Root meathord: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Does NOT freeze some rooted apps like Easy Freezy and Adfree like CF root does for some reason.
Help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
Alright... well I flashed aokp from Roman today. And I lost my imei. I have never had this problem before. I did a nandroid restore and nothing works. I have a back up from titanium back up and installed all my system data but still nothing...

Ouch, you might be out of luck man, might need to get a new phone as theres no real known "way" of restoring the backups of /efs folders or nvdata.bin etc on this phone yet , give this thread a read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1753833 its a known issue that can occur after flashing a rom on this phone... good luck.
edit, usually to save this kind of stuff you need to backup your efs folder, meaning that a nandroid backup nor a tibu backup can't help you with this; it needs to be done separately.

If your rooted use a root enabled file explorer (I use Root Explorer) and open it up to /. There should be a folder called “efs". Simply copy that folder and place it on your internal or external sd, then for safe keeping place it on your laptop/computer

I've been nervous about flashing anything else since I've read about 4 cases like this. I'm so freakin happy I found this thread! I've found the efs folder your referring to, but I don't know if I should copy the efs folder to my external storage or open it & just copy the IMEI folder to my external storage? Your help would be so very much appreciated.
Maybe someone should put this in general and try to get it stickied, as it seems like a necessary preventive maintenance?
Edit: I just backed up the whole folder to be safe, and I'm going to make a general post referring to this problem.
Is anybody else unable to back up ROM successfully on Omega v13?
I thout I'd backed up my beloved ROM and settings last night before full wipe testing the latest JB Odin ROM. That ROM was not good with regards to wifi intermittently toggling on and off so restore the previous ROM time thought I.
Wrong!
The CWM file wouldn't restore and when I looked at the files the Backup file was 16.8mb bit the Blob files were over a gig. There was no md5sum.
The situation then got worse as my phone entered a black screen bootloop for a while and wouldn't connect to the pc to flash an old backup ROM.
3 hrs of sweating and various wipes, odin flashes, downloads and not much sleep later and I'm back on Omega v13 again (minus all of my SD card files). But, I've just tried to back up my current ROM and still the same problem.
ROM manager is 6.0.1.2 if that helps.

Thanks for the reply but how do I backup my ROM without using ROM manager? Also why is the function not working anymore as it's been fine for 23 different ROMs?
Do cf root and ROM Manager conflict with each other?
It's doing my head in

Just back up with cwm and forget about Rom manager

Alright cheers gents.
Have duly uninstalled ROM Manager and will stick with CWM.
I think the problem was that the way a backup is now saved has changed - previously each dated backup file would be circa 1.8 gb in size but now when you back up it doesnt duplicate all of the files, instead it has a file hub in the BLOBS folder and just captures an image of the remaining files and md5sum.
It will save a lot of space this way at least...
As for CF Root however it wont let me do a NAND backup as it loses connection to the device as soon as it starts...?
Maybe because Omega v13 doesnt meet the criteria of insecure kernal??
I dunno.

-=Mission=- Create a Backup rom of everything Apps/Settings/tweaks/background/widgets.
I have the latest Clock work MOD recovery, And I rebooted into recovery and clicked backup then I pressed backup again which created a folder in clockwork folder named Todays Date. But this folder is only 16mb I have a feeling that the info is in the blobs folder what is the point of that the blobs folder literally has over 2000 folders its not neccerally big in size but because there are so many files it takes ages to copy. My aim is to copy my backup to my computer and copying the blobs folder is just a massive ammount of time.
SO Instead of pressing backup this time I pressed create Image.zip
this time it created one zip file which is perfect but its only 569mb.
My original Rom that I flashed was 830mb and I also added apps so in reality this zip should be bigger then the original flash zip
My 2 questions:
1.Whats the simplest way of creating a a backup which i can transfer back and forth from my computer when I want to test roms?
Because when I flash a new rom I always wipe data and all cache so its a fresh install which means if I leave my backup on the phone it will dissappear which is why i want a nice backup which i can transfer back and forth
2. What is that image.zip consist of and I was told its flashable, Is it?
Please read carefully before you answer thank you so much for your help
Nandroid backup not using blobs method .
Backup to ext sd card .
Also if you read the instructions where you got root and CWM from i recall a non blobs instructions .
Nandroid does not backup EFS folder nor modem .
Please read carefully before you answer >>> Please post in correct forum .

Yeah use an older cwm. Search for chainfires cwm in Android development something like v1.5 I think it should be cwm version 5.5.8.0 or something like that. The new backup way with blobs folder is since cwm v6

CWM write yours backups in folder called clockworkmod\backup\ inside SD Card
Each backup made in CWM is writed in a diferente folder inside backup folder with a date of backup.
Don´t write your backup inside phone storaga, because every time that you do a factory reset the system clean this partition and your backup is gone.

Yeh thanks but I am actually trying to create a backup of my entire Rom including the Stweaks/wallpaper/widget setups/Apps <<<< All in one backup package so that when i flash another rom and I dont like it I can go back to how it was with one flash
By default it backups to external storage unless you press backup to internal storage(this is how cwm 5 works) and all your apps and wallpaper etc are in there.
However just a correction pressing wipe/factory data does not remove your internal storage it only removes the apps and settings not ur actual data ie pictures or songa etc..

Titanium backups apps not roms .. so if you flash an aosp/aokp rom and try to restore sammy system apps lots can go wrong.. cwm restores the rom as a whole including your kernel csc modem etc .. which fairs far better if you want to try custom roms and wants a stable build to come back to.

Hello,
I recently flashed my phone back to stock after running a custom rom, before i flashed the custom rom i did take a nandroid of the stock rom, today i tried to restore my nandroid which i saved on my computer, CMW tells me "Couldn`t open directory. No files found." I`ve tried to put the folder in /mnt/extsdcard/clockworkmod/backup, with no luck
Can someone please help me and tell me whats wrong or what can fix it
Thanks for any help
Are you copying the exact same files? Which cwm are you using? What backup method do you use? (Tar/blob)
If you've backed up with blobs abs since then flashed later cwm's (which now use tar as default) it may not find that back up.

Hi, JJE
I am experiencing a similar situation. I understand I need to roo again the phone using the exact same CWM version I did my bkp with.
The thing is I don't seem to find that CWM version. Is there a place where I can try CWM from version 4.x to 6.x?
Thanks
