Whenever I attempt to restore in CWM, it always gets stuck on restoring data and after about 20 mins I am presented with an error, why is this, how can it be fixed?
AW: Restore in CWM Recovery
Are you useing the newest cwm? Maybe there is a problem with that special backup. Have you tried with a different one?

I rooted my fone a week ago with TWRP as my recovery mode.. Then I rerooted my fone to replace the TWRP recov with clockworkmod recov.. now I was going through my storage and found out that there is a folder of the old TWRP which takes 1.+Gb.. I was kinda thinking of deleting it.. would it be alright if I just delete it straight or would it affect my current mod if it got deleted..
Currently on cm9.1
Any help would be very much appreciated.. cheers

It has the TWRP backups.
Don't think I would really need my backup in that one as I've backed my system up using the clockworkmod before flashing cm9

..okay?
Heres my problem.
I did a backup on cwm and it wouldnt restore due to md5 mismatch.
The only rom i had on my phone to flash was trickdroid but it keeps freezing in aroma.
Now im trying to sideload adb flash this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
but it sits at the bootscreen
not sure what do to from here since i cant transfer any files over to the phone.
First off Trickdroid will boot
Read below ! The boot process takes an unusual amount of time ... Don't think it's not booting .
If your stuck in aroma installer and can't get it to let you boot system up power off Device manually then power up .
If your out of aroma installer and stuck on boot up Just Wait!!trust me it takes along time ...I thought the same thing but it will boot .
Why did your cwm nandroid ..display a md5 mismatch?
Is your backup from twrp or cwm.
Know that if you already don't ...that normally a backup with cwm won't restore if you flash a diff recovery such as twrp.Each one requires there own backup..if that's the case ? I don't know !
Trickdroid does stick at the end of aroma installer . @tleast it did for me The good thing is it happenes to be you can get it to boot. When it's done and acting like it's sitting doing nothing after aroma is finished ..just power cycle phone hold power for 10-15 seconds till it powers off and power on it will then boot into system.
Other option is to get Into hboot and just flash twrp which most prefer I've seen a lot of posts about cwm being problematic.
One option to get out of the botched cwm issue is to try and Manually flash twrp via fastboot method
And then see if you can flash a rom.
It seems as if you lost your backup.
The good thing about twrp is that you can select individually what to backup
Which is boot system and data is all you need .
Good luck !

thank you! im sure something from this will help! i was just hoping i was missing something a bit more obvious.
I actually started on twrp but it wasnt reading my storage.
So i switched to cwm and did my backup.
Then i flashed trickdroid which kept freezing so ill try your trick.
but when i tried to restore it gave me the md5 mismatch.
now im back on twrp trying to get back to normal,
Ill reply back if it works!
Fixed

So I tried to use this website to get dumlock. But I ended up stuck in recovery mode. Everytime it boots it boots in recovery mode. How do I get out of it? I am s-on and my bootloader is unlocked and I have 4ext recovery.
Make sure smart flash is enabled in 4ext
-its in one of the menus
Wipe all your partitions except SD
Reboot recovery
Flash a new ROM or restore backup
I believe 'dumb lock' is a feature of twrp

I enabled smart flash, wiped all partitions except SD, rebooted recovery. By flash do you mean install the zip file and reboot? Sorry Im a bit new to ROMs
I sent you a pm
Yes after you reboot recovery
Install zip from SD
Alternatively you could restore a backup, assuming you made one

So you have a backup prior to the booting error? Flash to stock ROM and restore your data

ALCATEL (and MTK Devices in general) usually have locked boot loaders making it impossible to enter fast boot or recovery without OS level access. Have fun with your new paperweight (jk)
