Yes it is possible.
I do this and it works:
\SDCard\nandroid\HT9APNT01015\ *custom named folders with img files inside*
Did you get that?
that's what I tried to do, but it seems nandroid didn't like its backups anymore after renaming the folders
when i 'Nandroid' restore the phone, do i have to reroot my phone? Or is root access still available? (Again, i'm new to the custom ROM world and getting familiair with the basics)
doing a nandroid backup is like creating an image of the phone software.
once you restore, your phone revert back being exactly the same as when you did the backup (rom wise, which includes root)

Thanks, i back-upped the phone after root was enabled, so it won't harm my root access.

Hmmm, that is weird. I wonder if it has to do with the type or version of recovery image you have. At the moment I have RA-hero-v1.6.2.
Just to be clear, if you don't rename the folders, it restores properly?
it does, just one time it happened the backup got corrupted and wouldn't let the phone boot after restore (I am using same recovery img as yours)
I'm going to try renaming the folders again later
I wish you luck! Could you please post back with the result? I am very curious.
In my ongoing travels on the internets I will keep an eye out for a possible solution.
looks like this time it worked.
for some reason nandroid it seems nandroid has an erratic behaviour from time to time.
first time I made a copy of my first (working) backup and I renamed it, nandroid won't let me load it (thus why I created this thread); yesterday, after working fine it created a corrupted backup and I had to reinstall cronos from scratch.
only difference between my first try renaming backup directories is that the first time I made the copy via windows, while the second time I did it through Astro.
I'm going to watch into this.
EDIT: k, sorted the renaming issue. nandroid simply won't handle folders with spaces in their name
still, a couple times nandroid produced corrupted backups and this is forcing me to backup 3 times in a row just to be sure. :/

Glad you've found the issue! That is really weird about Nandroid creating corrupted backups...
It is so strange that using Windows (or not) creates or solves problems. I've read of instances where creating a goldcard with Win7 failed but WinXP worked.
Guys,... You using AmonRa yeah?.... It might be worth mentioning all your finds to the man Amon Ra himself,... Post something in the AmonRa thread, maybe there is something he can sort for future updates.
made 2 backups on xrecovery and both are saying md5 mismathc and will not work, help pleae as it takes me about 2-3 hours to install new system and get all apps back! Thanks
Check if you have any spaces in name of backup.
none mate, i havent even touched the files after I made the backup. and jsut checked none.
anyone all i get is md5 mismatch?
Hey guys,I've been testing roms today om my device,so I made a nandroid of my LeeDroid 2.2.3 setup.I checked my first backup with AFV(Android File Verifier,very nice app,I found it in the market) and cache.img and data.img were corrupted.I deleted it and made another backup.I checked with AFV and all was ok.I installed MDJ's rom,RCMixHD 6 and some other stuff,but later,when I wanted to come back to my LeeDroid rom,I tried to restore but CWM(3.0.2.8) gave me an MD5 Mismatch message.Now I have to start from scratch once again.Luckily enough,I backed up everything with Titanium,just in case.
Thing is,it's not the first time this is happening.At first I thought it was my CWM version,but none has worked well,and I've had 2.5.1.3,3.0.0.6,3.0.2.4,3.0.2.6 and 3.0.2.8.Anybody knows why this is happening?Cause I'm getting sick of it!Plus there is no AmonRA for the DHD.
Anyway,is there any way of manually restoring my supposedely corrupted data.img via adb or something?Even if it is corrupted,something won't work well but at least I will have tried!
Many thanks in advance,
Apostolis
Idea:
Could I "trick" CWM into restoring the "broken" nandroid backups by generating a new MD5 with MD5 Generator?If yes,there won't be any real danger other than having bootloops etc,right?
Two thoughts
Your SD card is corrupt
You actually have some corrupt data on data which is erroneously leading a AFV to report a corrupted backup
Personally I backup and restore all the time with nandroid with no hassle, I suppose the other thing is a rom specific issue as I'm using cm.
You've not been renaming your backup files or anything have you?* You shouldn't be getting MD5 mismatch errors unless the file has been changed somehow since it was created.
*because that's exactly what I did; renamed them when I moved them to my pc for easier filing. Then of course none of them worked until I eventually realised and changed them back
//sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk; all errors entirely intentional.
Thanks for your replies guys.
Firstly,there is a chance the SD is ****ed up,because I had some photos' thumbnails missing the other day.Now,if something in /data was corrupted...Well,maybe!I'll format my SD sooner or later and see...It's 16 freakin' gigabytes!
Secondly,no,I never renamed my backups to anything else.
Can anyone answer my question though?Could I trick CWM into restoring those backups?Would it hurt to try?

I don't think you can, It's a safety feature to prevent you from flashing a corrupt image.
How have you flashed your recoveries? Via ROM Manager or fastboot?
MD5 checksums are generated from the contents of a file, filenames are not included in this generation, unless of course there are filenames within the file that have been modified.

Ahaa...
I flash my recoveries through fastboot.Since I learned how to use it(I was afraid I'd somehow **** up at first)I flash them through fastboot.How is that relevant?
Anyway,I haven't modified anything.If I had,it'd make sense,but it doesn't.I didn't mess with the backup's files in any way,yet it got corrupted.Am starting to get desperate here...
I only asked because I know *sometimes* you have to flash recoveries twice within ROM Manager.
If the MD5 of the Recovery.img you flash is correct, then the problem has to be somewhere else. Other than checking your SDcard for errors & formatting, I'm not sure much else can be done.

Anyway,many thanks for your time man!Will see what I'll do...
I just checked my card for errors and there was indeed something wrong!Possibly my card is damaged somehow.It gives me problems too often.Or it's the phone,cause I used the same card on my Desire with no problems at all.Time will tell...
You can expect more people reporting similar issues here soon.I posted in LeeDroid's thread about it as a reply to andreasy and he has a similar problem.

I kept having trouble with downloading the files.
After entering the security code & clicking on Dowload File, it will automatically refresh the page & bring me back to the beginning again.
I tried both on Firefox & IE.
Which CWR are you referring to?
I can't locate the new port in the original CWM thread...I'm using the one posted in the first post of that thread.

CWR/CWM Recovery -- It is called ventana_recovery and can be found in US or ROW types in 16, 32 and 64 iterations at everyrandom.

New link for the No Bloatware Nandroid added to original post. When I can get the other Nandroid uploaded to the new server, I'll add that link.

Is this the one I should be using for my 32Gb TPT?
It's labelled ventana32_recovery.img.
I don't know what happened but yesterday, I couldn't even browse the Files folder to view other files.
Thanks for reposting the Nandroid backups!
Yes, you've located the right one if you've got a US tablet.
The gps.conf is modified from the original file that shipped on tablet. This causes updates to fail.
CWM will cause OTA2 to fail during update. My apologies about GPS.conf, I missed that. It is a simple thing to fix.
Also, there are OTA builds that don't require the original files and recovery here in XDA.
I downloaded the 0075_US file. I am looking to replace a couple of system/app files (mainly PinyinIME.apk) as I deleted them before without a backup.
I want to take my TPT back to stock or run some sort of update without too much trouble as I plan on selling my TPT (need the money).
Is there a way that I can extract the files that I need from the 0075_US files that was posted here?
Thanks

Download the archive and open it with winrar. You will find system.ext4.tar. Open it inside winrar and it will extract it. In the app directory you will find all system apps.
Copy PinyinIME.apk and the odex to your device /system/app and do :
chmod 644 /system/app/PinyinIME.*

pwstein,
Finally got down to restoring your Nandroid backup to my TPT.
However, I kept getting the MD5 checksum mismatch error.
Am downloading again to try and see if it makes any difference.
Do I need to preserve the folder name 0089_US_no-bloat_rooted?

Reloaded the 0089 package but ended up with the same MD5 mismatch error.
Tried this method to recreate the nandroid.md5 but my TPT does not have md5sum even though busybox is already installed.
Anyone has a clue what I can do to overcome this?

Off the top of my head, and I apologize if you have made this apparent elsewhere, are you using a US (or UK) firmware Tablet?

I've since upgraded the CWR to the version you recommended & so I'm wondering if this is a factor.

I don't know about the different CWM Recovery. I wish I did.
After you have extracted the zip, the folder can be renamed but it should be placed within the backup folder, like:

After Google Services drying up my monthly data cap trying to download 4.3, I thought I'd move from PACman v23 to the new Paranoid Android 3.92 as it had 4.3. I thought I did all the right things. I backed up in Rom Manager, copied the file across to my PC. I ran a fresh backup of everything in Titanium Backup and copied that all across to my PC too.
I did a factory reset/data wipe and flashed bootloader/modem/rom/gapps as instructed and got the latest Paranoid Android running. I copy across my TB backup directory and I install TitaniumBackup from the market place. I go restore missing apps, and then... it just hangs on the first app. Read a little online, change the restore mode to "Interactive", doesn't fix it. Go back to the normal setting. I run Verify Backups, and to my surprise, it says there are errors with ALL my backup files. I get pissed, decide perhaps I should've just created a flashable zip. So I say no problem. I'm persistent. I'll create a backup of Paranoid Android, reflash my PACman backup, redo my Titanium Backup, and then reflash my Paranoid Android backup and apply the TB backup zip. So I Copy my PACman zip file, choose Install ZIP from sdcard, select the PACman zip and boom... MD5 verification failed.
I realise I had some Titanium Backup essentials backup on Google Drive and Dropbox, so I copy them over. Point TB to that directory, but the same problem persists. It just hangs.
I've been copying across the same TB folder between various ROM installations with no issues, and I'm not sure what is causing the issue here. I suspect it is either the bootloader and radio (which was what has been the extra step compared to installing other roms) but I don't want to admit that now all my backups are completely useless.
Am I missing something here? Anyone have any suggestions?
TL;DR I can't seem to get any TB backups to restore on my newly flashed Paranoid Android rom.

I'm having the same issues. Best luck I had is to install the latest SuperSU(PA uses an integrated superuser) and then restore my apps one by one. Some work and others don't. It's a problem with 4.3/TB and SU which hopefully will be resolved. Most of my games worked but Nova launcher did not. I was also in indirect mode when restoring them.
You have to change the backups folder to storage/emulated/legacy in 4.3 to be able to restore your applications. You can change it in Menu/Preferences within TiBu.
I think I screwed something up before. Just did a factory reset, installed latest SuperSU and changed app installation to indirect mode. Everything restored flawlessly after that.

I installed stock 4.3, had to flash the latest SuperSU to get root, and found that all my Titanium Backup files were A-OK. Perhaps it is just a matter of the latest SuperSU and the TB workaround detailed on that link:
...Titanium Backup is an example of such an app. It may incorrectly detect the path to your internal storage for backups, and thus crash on backup/restore. You can fix this by going into preferences and selecting a folder under /storage/emulated/legacy as backup/restore path, not under /storage/emulated/0.

Thanks for the solution!! I've been trying to restore stuff for hours.
Happy I found a solution. I too spent way too long getting Titanium Backup to restore apps. And once I found this solution, implementing the folder change isn't just ticking a box or adding an entry. But all's well now. Really enjoying my first taste of Paranoid Android - lots of settings to figure out. I was having dpi/resolution issues with Simpson's Tapped Out and PA will give me several solution options. Thanks everyone!

This was much appreciated. I simply switched the backup folder location from /storage/emulated/0 to /storage/emulated/legacy instead. Problem Solved. No Rebooting, no installing SuperSU or anything. I've spent two hours trying to restore my backups (the one time, I forgot to create the flash zips with all my backups and the one time I didn't have space to create a Nandroid,) and now I'm good to Go.

Thank you. I've had a few reinstalls now where I've had to redirect TiBu to the "Legacy" path but this time with Carbon rom I also had to update SuperSU, then let SuperSU update the binary through CWM before I could restore anything.
Edit: Also if you're having problems figuring out how to change Titanium Backup's default path in preferences, your phone/tablet's Back button (beside the home button) will move you up through directories in the "select backup folder" dialog. This one had me stuck for awhile so maybe this info will help someone else.
Even changing it to legacy I am unable to get TiBU to restore. I have even made it navigate to the Titanium Backup Folder where I can see all my apps and system data backed up but it won't load it to restore for some reason.
Any suggestions?
