Re: [DEODEX][P769V20D]CWM Backup Stock Fully Deodexed Locked Bootloader
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.

Yes from the Android development section, and I don't understand what you mean. I am however on the exact same version p76920d

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

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

I've seen this type of download before and it says the zip itself (named boot) is a .img and when I put it into the SD it shows up as a very small (4,000 KB) zip file. it doesn't show up in CWM.
Did you try repacking it as zip?
And,comes another guide from me.... I was actually extracting a stock firmware and this came into my mind
Ok,I made this guide since the process of extracting firmware is a bit confusing sometimes.So,lets start with it
What you would need:
1.7zip or any other zip utility
2.Stock Firmware
3.MagicISO
4.Nothing else
Tutorial:
1.Start off by downloading a stock firmware,for this guide,we assume its DDKQ8
2.You will get 2 files, S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar.md5 and SS_DL.dll
3.Ignore the second file,we only need the first file which has an extension of .md5
4.Now its not possible to extract the file with the current extension.
5.So,rename the file S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar.md5 to S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar
6.Now,the file is extractable,so extract it.
7.You will get approx. 9 files: arm11 boot,amss,csc.rfs and various others.
8.Delete all the files except boot.img and system.rfs.These are the only files we need.
9.Now,using MagicISO,open up system.rfs and extract it.
10.Make a new folder named Rom_working
11.Now,move the boot.img there
12.Make a folder called system
13.Move all contents of system.rfs to this this folder.
14.Now all you need is a META-INF folder to complete the rom.(Unless you messed up)
Thats it! Pretty easy huh,this is something really basic,but a few people get confused on extracting it anyway.Its just meant to be a basic guides for those people.If you want to get more info on making a rom,refer this guide which i wrote a few months ago.Hope this helped you guys out.
NOTE: I am not responsible if you mess up your phone or w/e happens to it.Btw,<bla bla> stands for the rest of the filename
thanks for that,, i was woundering how it was done,, i ended up using a nandroid backup with kitchen to make my own lol

First off, don't rename a cmw backup... trust me, if you rename the zip it will cause an md5 mismatch when you try and restore and that always tends to happen when ya need it most.
Second the file you are looking for is either on your SD or your internal storage, the file si called clockworkmod or something like that, inside you will see a file labled backup. Delete as you will, but I always tend to transfer said files onto my pc and title an individual folder for each file, there for eliminated the irritation of md5 mismatch.

That's what I'm sayin . There is no clockwork mod folder. I do have it installed though. Thanks for the info. I didn't know that would mismatch the md5

You should be able to restore the folder , by booting into recovery , and running a new backup.
This will force place a new backup file to the SD card in the proper location.
If this does not work , or the backup fails to run, you must reflash the recovery using Odin ....g
you are using cwm and not twrp right? if using twrp the backups are in folder named twrp on internal or external which ever one you specified when backing up.
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
/sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup
Are you rooted?
Are you on a stock-based rom and not a CM-based rom?

1.. Download the kernel
file to your SD Card. It
should be in *.zip or *.rar or *.7z extension.
2. Extract the file via
Root Explorer.
3. You'll get a "boot.img"
file after the extraction
is completed. This file IS the main kernel.
4. Now create a folder in your SD Card to be
shown as /clockworkmod/backup/*KERNEL NAME*. Replace ''KERNEL NAME'' to the name of the kernel you are flashing.
5. Move boot.img file you got after extraction to "/sdcard/
clockworkmod/backup/
NAME/*HERE*. (the folder you've created- in
step#4).
6. View the details of
that boot.img file. (long
tap on file>Details- on
root explorer).
7. Copy the MD SUM you
got in file details.
8. Now there, create a
file and name it as nandroid.md5 . Open
nandroid.md5 file you
have created in a TEXT
EDITOR and paste that
md5 sum you've
copied ..and save ur
nandroid.md5 file.
Now there will be 2 files
in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/NAME/*HERE*:
--BOOT.IMG
--NANDROID.MD5
make sure their is no
other file except these two (boot.img, nandroid.md5)
9. Boot in CWM recovery.
10. Mount/System.
11. Select "backup and
restores''> advanced
restore.
12. Choose ur kernel file.
13. Select restore boot> comfirm restore.
14. When restore done,
goto ADVANCED and fix
permissions.
15. Finally, click on

I think this question has been repeated upteeeenth time
YOU CANNOT FLASH KERNEL VIA RECOVERY ON XPERIA 2011 DEVICES
Reason #1 : We don't have a recovery partition .Other devices boot from recovery partition which allows to flash boot partition .
Reason #2 : Our recovery lies in boot partition. You cant flash kernels while they are running .
Depending on the recovery used ,the flashing will fail or the device will be hard bricked .
Only way to flash kernels on Xperia 2011 lineup is via fastboot .Period . No compromise .
Don't apply methods for other devices on 2011 lineup without prior knowledge.
