I haven't had any luck with restoring Nandroid Backup, here's the message I always get, "Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb!"
I'm currently running:
CM 5.0.5.3
Stock Kernel
Amon_Ra v1.7.0
KspecLite-v1.17
Helix Launcher
I just did a fresh back up just now and tried to restore and got the same message. What am I doing wrong?
did you rename the backup?
Had the same error message. I did a little research and found out that I should attempt plugging my phone into the charger, because it was low. I did that and it worked on the next attempt.

No I didn't. I actually did the restore immediately after I made the back up. Should I rename the folder that it creates?

No go on the charger
I had "Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb!" come up before as well. Though that was because I had renamed my backup file (which apparently, you haven't). I'm not too sure what else to suggest. Best of luck!
If the battery level is below 30% you will get this error. If you do a restore the level needs to be above this point.

I ran a nandroid restore of a previous backup on my phone, it restored OK, I then rebooted the phone and it's only going to the HTC boot screen and no further. Anyone else run into problems?

only one I got, I have a copy of it on another computer guess I'll try that tomorrow
that failing I'll go back to fresh rom and then use that RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.29.651.1_signed_release.exe file and see if it'll work.
alright so I can flash it back to fresh 1.0
I can not restore the nandroid backup I made nor the copy I made to my computer
I can not run ruu to restore it
does anyone have a zip of the factory rom anywhere?
I need to un root and flash this back to stock
grrrnt just today the new ruu was posted, that works
I had a similar issue. Try formating your card via recovery, enable mass storage copy your backup over and try again.
Had a similar experience. Decided to remove my SD card, and everything worked fine. Reformatted the card and has been fine since then. No idea what would cause that to happen, but it has and it will.
Hi all
I have flashed DamageTrev ROM.
It is going great... NOW
But I had to do a lot of flashing to fix my PRI issue..
I found out I could not restore any of my past nandroid backups!
In the recovery bootscreen .. I can start the restoring but then it would error out very quickly .
I will need to have faith in nandroid if I want to do more flashing!
Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix ?

sounds like bad sd card or it is going bad. take everything off of it, partition it, then put it back see if that works
Ive had this happen to but it usually says to type something in console instead and it usually works for me....try again and see if it gives you the console command...if not then its prob what the above said.

What does the error say? Does it mention running nandroid-mobile.sh from ADB? If that is the case you can still restore the backups. This happened to me and I just had to do it once from ADB and then it worked from recovery again.
Whenever mine does that, I plug in the USB cable and just try to restore one more time, and it works. Kind of odd...
When this has happened to me, I've take all the back ups out of my nandroid folder and left them on the computer leaving only the one I want to restore
I haven't used adb cuz i havent been able to set it up. But i have flashed Damaged control succesfully by mounting the zip on the sd card. i flashed it a couple times since ive tried installing Nexus one launcher by flashing from sd card but nothing just messed up rosie. i couldnt restore my older Rom it kept telling me use adb. Fail lol but i flashed damage control 2.05 back and working fine maybe faster. What i want to know is how to get the nandroid restore fixed or working for emergencies.
alt f4 fixes it all
huh? Confused..
he was trying to be "smart" and gave you a bogus answer if you combo press alt + F4 it will exit your screen... Not really sure what your question is though if you are asking as to why your Nandroid won't restore properly it's because you have to "wipe" your cache before doing a nandroid if you are going back to a version that is different than the currently flashed rom. Hope this helps if not then ... perhaps you could re-phrase your question.

The only way I fixed that is by running the nandroid restore through adb like it says to do. I don't understand how you don't have adb installed but you have the phone rooted? I had to get all that working to root my phone and having adb is an invaluable tool anyway.
I did read that the nandroid error sometime comes up when the sdcard is too full so you could see if that is the case. Also, as someone suggested you could try a factory reset/wipe and then try again to nandroid through recovery.

Yup,i don't even have a pc (seriously I don't)
I did run into this problem though, not sure exactly what I did but it worked itself out, maybe try flashing a different recovery image,Or try keeping phone plugged into charger(not sure what significance that has but it did seem to go for me after I was having those problems) which recovery image do you have?
Did you rename the Nandroid backup you were trying to restore to? If you did, and the file name has a space in it, it will tell you to restore via ADB. Just a thought from the limited info you provided.
I had this problem and it fixed itself out and all i did was wipe everything thats under the wipe option in recovery and it worked for me.
Yeah it was actually the cache you guys were right. i did it on my own and thought that might be it. and now i know that was it from checkin the thread. yeah i used pre kitchen to auto root my phone. im actually running damage control 2.05 now the newest sprint leak.damn i love it lol. but imma reflash it cuz i tried to flash a nexus theme/ no luck i want a nexus one interface!!!!!

Won't boot in what way? Can you get into fastboot and/or recovery? Since you're asking about CWM, I'm assuming you can get into it.
If you did a Nandroid backup (the main point of CWM for me), you could try just restoring it. If you didn't, I'd try a wipe all settings and then reboot. You should be able to get back to a virgin state on the main OS that way.
I can get into it, the problem is i erase all data on my phone. Thanks in advance!
???
Is there any way i can get my phone back up and running restoring everything from clockworkmod?

I'm still confused what your problem is.
You say the phone won't boot, but then you talk about erased data.
What exactly did you do to the phone? What was the last few things you did before you "broke" it?
What happens when you try to boot the phone (ie., it's powered off and you press the power button)? How far in the boot process does it go?
If your problem is that the phone boots but all your data is gone, there's no way to get back unless it auto-syncs down from Google, or you used a backup program like Titanium, or you made a nandroid backup in CWM.
If you made a nandroid, you should just be able to boot into CWM, select backup and restore and then restore your backup.
This is what happened....
I tried to replace my fonts in system that are supposed to work on a different phone. Then when i tried to boot up the phone was stuck on the silver google logo. Now, after that i went into clock work recovery and formated everything in the mounts and storage menu. After reinstalling the phones boot img, my phone freezes at the google logo. I can still get into the clockworkmod recovery. I never backed it up, but tried to use a nandroid someone posted online but i get a md5 mismatch.
Again, thank you for all your help!

The Modaco rom(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883985) should work just fine. Put it on the USB storage then in Clockwork go to "Install from zip."
i have a problem almost like that but my rom manager open but wont even backup current rom or anything, my titanium back doesn't backup either. it said i could not acquire root privileges, this app will not work, please vertify that you rom is rooted and includes busybox, i have busybox and it's rooted. i guess this happen when i update the google update last night from rom manager. what should i do

Known issue. There is a thread in the Development section(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884499). The OTA "broke root."
Ouch. Now I understand.
In the future, always make a nandroid backup before messing around with things, easiest way to recover.
I see you're looking for help in this thread. Maybe they can help you.
You could also try flashing Doc's or Paul's roms also in that section.
rom
I tried that custom rom... still didnt work. Im going to give it another shot!

Did you wipe/factory reset before attempting to install? I realize that you're pretty much wiped at the moment, but always best to start with that.

You've tried another NAND backup, besides the one that MD5 mismatched, yar? Be careful not to rename it, as that can cause the mismatch.
Nope
Nope i didnt try any...
Do i have to rename it to update.zip?

The custom rom? No, you just go into recovery, wipe/factory reset, install from SD card, then navigate to where you put the .zip on the SD card.
I see you did try the 2.3.1 NAND backup in the development section. Try downloading it again on your PC, unzip it, then place the new folder on the clockworkmod's backup folder on your SD card. Again, do not rename it.
Im trying it now.

Be warned that if you do get the NAND to restore, you may lose clockwork recovery. I know I did when I first tried to use it.
Don't panic though, because you can fastboot flash clockwork back on from the bootloader.

Hi All,
I am now running Amon-Ra 2.3 recovery, as soon as i flashed the img to the phone i did my stock backup. Now when I went to restore it, nada. Telling me Oooops. and to check the recovery log.
I know I have seen this little update everytime I go to bootloader for the 36img. thing. it says no img. then asks me if i want to start update. I did do the update the first time when I did my Stock backup.
So now I assume I am screwed or I need to stay rooted.
Any Help is appreciated
soon as i flashed the img to the phone i did my stock backup.

You did what?
Assuming you deleted the 36img.thing after you rooted/unrooted not sure where your going with the question. Sounds like you had a bad nand backup, or corrupted. Hopefully it is just that and you can still flash the rom again. If that is the case...backup your SD card on your computer if you still can, and then check it on your computer with an adapter for errors. While your at it and were able to back up the card...partition it again before copying it back. What brand/type of SD card was/is it anyway?
EDIT: Second thought..sounds like you are trying to unroot your phone and you wiped everything before applying the 36img.thingy. If so... just a little more work ahead of you. Give an RUU a try through boot loader, should clear things up.
@ dpilcher
I am still rooted, deleted the 36.img (Amon Ra). Yes you are correct bad backup and lost my backups. Loaded up Kingsrom Unleashed last night and its doing fine. Not trying to go unrooted, just thought i was in a world of heap that my stock backup is gone?
Also after copying my files to my computer do I run something to check for errors on just the card?
Or would it be easy to just format the card, reinstall my roms on the card? Then put it back in the phone?
