I rooted my replacement Aria about a day after I got it. One thing I was sure to do that I didn't do with my old Aria was to do a nandroid backup before flashing Liberated Froyo. I did the nandroid this time then flashed FR007. Ran FR007 for a few days then tried to go back to the freshly rooted backup. It failed to load, giving some message about MD5 sum mismatch. Is this an issue of reset/wipe or do I really have an invalid/unusable backup? Is my only choice to unroot, installing the original HTC/ATT ROM then reroot?
Is there a source for freshly rooted, unflashed ROM for the Aria?
My end goal is to restore my old (cracked screen) Aria to freshly rooted. No flashed ROMs (think e-bay), though FR008 would be a nice selling point.

1. If the nandroid backup has a MD5 checksum error, then yes it is unusable.
2. There are a couple of threads in this forum that has the original AT&T ROMs in a rooted, flashable zip file thanks to ATTN1. You may want to check the sticky threads first or you should be able to find them with in a search. If you can still boot your old Aria into ClockworkMod recovery then you can flash it with the ROM of your choice.
Here's the link to the flashable original ROMs (includes both unrooted and rooted versions):

Did you change the name of the nandroid? I did that and got the checksum error, but it worked when I changed the name back. I don't think it likes some characters.

Heya, the N1 is my first phone so a lot of this is brand new territory for me
Anyhow I had a problem with a metamorph theme so i used nandroid to restore back to an update i made this morning (After i rooted N1). However now apps that require root access (Metamorph, N1 torch etc) are now all running into errors such as cannot access LED, cannot extract files (Even though all partitions have at least 40% free space).
Any ideas guys? Thanks!
EDIT: One of the root programs i tried to run stated that it can only run in read-only mode, is this familiar to anyone? Thanks!
your answer is in other parts of the forum but you still have root just dont have su permission anymore. you can flash a custom rom or flash the cyanogen add-on. pm if you need help
Ah right, is this common after a nandroid backup? Could someone perhaps post the link to the cyanogen add-on? I'm currently running the latest cyanogen for the nexus one, thanks
As far as I know the Cyanogen add-on is the Cyanogen rom. It is not a completely standalone rom, just sort of a patch for the stock rom.
I just re-flashed the rom and everything is sweet again. This is my first android phone never mind first rooting experience so all this is new Cheers guys

I've been playing with my Epic, and flashed the DK17 FroYo leak found in the Epic 4G Development section, and before flashing flashing it to my Epic, made a backup of it using ClockworkMod's ROM Manager, figuring it would make retuning to my original 2.1 load easy. Well, apparently it doesn't get everything. After I loaded the DK17 build, played with it a bit, I wanted to go back to my former build to retrieve some data, so I restored my original ROM's backup, but when it rebooted, the boot failed. What I ended up having to do was use Odin to restore the DI18 stock build, root it, install ROM manager and then restore my original backup. I had to do the same thing to go back to the DK17 ROM after I retrieved the data I was looking for. Apparently, ROM Manager is fine if you're staying within a Kernel, but if you're changing the Kernel, not so much.
Is there anything I can use to back up the COMPLETE ROM, from beginning to end, so I can switch beween Kernel if/when I choose, using one restore step? It doesn't matter to me whether I need to plug it into my PC and "suck" the ROM out, or if it can be done on the phone direct to SD.
Thanks

You can find All Versions of Clockwork Mod Recoveries in ROM Manager. So if you having any problems with old Roms you can use CWM 2.5.
CWM 3 doesn't support update-script, it requires update-binary and updater-script. So there are many mods and themes available which will not work with CWM 3.0. If you know how to convert them into flashable Zips then you will be able to use it. But anyway you can always revert back to CWM 2.5.
Does nandroid backups made with CWM 2.5 work with this new version?
Restoring backups of 2.2 roms doesn't work for me. Only way I can get a 2.2 rom to boot is if I flash a fresh zip

Just use CWM 2.5 to restore backup of 2.2 Roms. It should be working fine, I tried on my DHD and I don't have any issues.
Awesome! Makes things easier when I want to flash CM7.
I was so glad to see this. I had the non-final version installed and it meant if I wanted to go back to Sense I had flash the 2.5.1.3 recovery first. Now with this being on the ROM manager I flashed the 2.5.1.3 then recovered Sense, flashed v3 recovery and backed up Sense. With that done I can go between it and CM7 or any other ROMs that allow far more easily.

True.. Makes my life more easier...
It would have beign nice if I knew this stuff about v3 yesterday...when I couldn't get back any recovery, and I was beginning to believe that is something wrong.with my SD card. But I don,t understand ,why, if is a NEW (and supposedly a better version) doesn't, support the back up made with v2.5 (I read about the .bin, and .zip file in a.upper post, but It's a little to technically for me and I dont understand how this will help me if I use CM7 and ruu 2.3).
And the question is, will v3 recover the backup made with v3 of my sense Rom,because I don,t wanna try again and if it.doesn't,t work ,I will wake up my self again in the orange menu of v3 and then I have to flash again a Rom, downgrade from Rom manager to v2.5 and restore an older backup
Neat!
CM7 official release is probably not to far away then!
Thanks...!
Argh, really, is it so hard to check for the fs during backup, and then restore it using the noted fs? Why the stupid split for ext3 on 2.5 and ext4 on 3 ? Especially since 3 has no problem reading ext3.

Obviously Koush feels it is, don't forget CWM is open source, if you feel the check of file system and appropriate restore / backup is a minor issue submit a patch implementing it for review and I am sure Koush will accept it with pleasure.
re flashed today everything is nice. Except one backup from older CWM is not recognized.
Thanks for the heads-up

I was using MIUI rom on my DHD and I wanted to restore a nandroid backup to return to Revolution HD, when I started Rom Manager, it told me there's an update to 3.0.x (Not 100% if it was 3.0.5 or something else), so I updated it.
Then when I tried to do a nandroid restore to my RevolutionHD backup, it went through the process properly, but it won't boot into the rom.
Can anyone help me out, please. I'm phoneless?

flash cwm 2.5.x from fastboot and reflash revolution
Hi there... I am running The orange cwr that I grabbed from this forum. I am getting very frustrated because none of my backups will work. I get md5 check sums errors. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thank. You!
Same issue here as well, running prime v 1.5 and clemsyn v 16 kernel

I have not read any complaint of bad nandroid backups for people who have installed this cwm recovery in their tf101:

i'm using the CW recovery from the above link, and i just restored a backup last night and it worked just fine.
I've never had a problem backing up in CWM.
I have to agree with OP, not once has restoring a nandroid worked for me. Im always getting the bad MD5 error.

any details on what you are running as far as your rom, kernel, ect. I haven't had any problems while running stock, any rom, or the various kernels.. I'm not sure if this will help, but I personally would redownload (i think that's a word) Rom Manager, reflash the lastest version of CWM then reflash the version that is modified for the TF. I had issues before I flashed solarnz's version, that was due to nubness and not isolation the media though (kinda irrelevant).
Hope that helps some

PERFECT! That did the trick. I thought I updated my CWR when I rooted, but I guess I didnt have this one. Thanks so much!!!
I'm also not having problems with bad nandroid backup's.
Only thing is, i think it skips the kernel for whatever reason.
Could one of you guys check next time if nandroid also reverts the kernel, because i flashed ubuntu yesterday, before i had clemsyn rom + kernel combo. which i made a nandroid of. i flashed prime 1.5 with roach's kernel, then after that, i installed ubuntu. when i got back to android and restored my nandroid i found out that there was the roach's kernel while it should be clemsyn's OC kernel.
Can anyone confirm this?
Have some problem too, can't update from SD in Clockwork
After flash with nvflash, that's problem removed...
Hi everyone!
I am having very strange problem with stock rom "JORDN _U3_6.36.0" from T-Mobile USA on standard Defy. Each time i power phone up, it starts booting up then restarts itself in to stock recovery and perform hard/factory reset. After that it boots normally, but all settings gone.
I am not using T-mobile sim or moto blur account , so i skip registration using "ebluroff" trick. Is that can be the cause of the problem?
Some backstory: when i bought the phone it had CyanogenMod 7 installed on it. I used it for 2-3 years,even updated it several times up to 7.2.
Then some time ago i started having issues with it, so i had to flash stock rom with 2.1 Android.
I decided not to do anything with the phone, until i got some advice, so i any help would be greatly appreciated.
What were the issues faced? Anyhow one of the things you can try is to upgrade to 2.2, via rsd lite

Well, thing is i want to keep my downgrade ability. I rooted the phone with superoneclick and install 2ndInit 1.4.2, but the problem is that it doesn't see SD card because it is Eclair. How people installed nandroid backups on 2.1? There has to be the way to move to 2.2 without flashing full SBF, because as i already mentioned it had CyanogenMod 7 when i bought it, so it is possible.

Some update. After hours of digging i found out these thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899450
So, i first flashed defy 2.2_boot_only FIXED FSB, then after reboot custom recovery started working, so restored Droid22 rom from it.
Phew, i knew it was possible. So now i have rooted chines (?) android 2.2.1 on my phone and working custom recovery. I am gona stick on it for a while until i find best 2.3.3. nandroid ROM.
Just wanted to clarify was it right order - first flashing fixed SBF then restoring nandroid backup? I couldnt get custom recovery working without updating bootmenu first.
I also wanted to add that i did custom recovery data|cash wipe before flashing fixed SBF, before AND after restoring nandroid backup.
I saw that lots of people had problem like me , hope my message will help.
