Where are you guys getting the nandroid app?

Say again?
it's not an app.. it's in the CWM recovery.. it's the back up and restore thing
I got mine from Google....
Ahhhhh, that explains why I couldn't find it. I've used the backup and recovery in clockworks, never realized that was the nandroid everyone keeps mentioning. Thanks!

I have a problem, I am running FR007 and I can't get Clockwork to make a working backup. If I try to restore from the backup it gives MD5 error. I also tried using Rom Manager and it gives me the android with the triangle error. What do I need to do to get a working backup.
Try titanium backup or Astro File Manager.

Out of curiosity, when you turn off your phone or, restart it, whatever it is that you do to get into clockwork...do you have your phone plugged in with the usb cable?
Yeah I get into clockwork and do a android backup but if I try to restore I get an,error. MD5 something. Titanium and astrology don't do android do they.

lol @ astrology. damn auto correct lol. anyway, you didn't pay attention to my question. do you have your phone hooked up to usb when you are rebooting to go into clockwork?
Yeah auto correct gets me alot. And no I don't have anything hooked to the phone when I try to backup.

are you renaming the backup folder?
No. It won't sync with HTC sync either if that helps.

same thing happened to me for almost all of my backups, i think it was because i put in a custom kernel. I switched back and it started to work again.
I have searched around on here and other forums as well as watched a few youtube videos about nandroid but have failed to find what i really need to know. I am apparently missing the one little piece to get me started here. From what i can tell Nandroid should be in my clockwork recovery, but it is not. So how do I get that in the clockwork menu so i can use it?
I am running the Syndicate ROM with Xtreme Kernel. I have downloaded nandroid files to my PC but thats as far as I have gotten.
Any help without getting verbally abused would be much appreciated. THANKS!
Ok so first of all when you go into recovery is it green? If it Is you have clockwork but if its blue you have stock recovery. If it is clocwork then just go to backup/restore and backup your current system its tht easy ad no other things installed other than clockworkmod.

yes i do have clockwork. So thats it? I was expecting something to say nandroid IN the menu. Wow sometimes things truly are TOO easy LOL.
thanks a lot
No problem man. Some things are that easy and it can save your ass to if you **** up your phone somehow.

Can someone tell me if an android backup is the same as an android backup ? What is the difference ?

dont think there is a difference. a nandroid backup is a complete image of your file system at the time of backup. essentially a complete copy of your phone's state. its done in clockwork/bootstrap recovery
+1 for racinwarrior
and i think you made a typo in your op.
Thanks 4 your help it looks like you clarified that for me. Oh ya I did eff up on my spelling. Ment to say nandroid back up and android back up. okay so I have bootstrap recovery and have done a backup. so does this mean if my phone is messed up I can revert back to that date I did the backup and my phone should be okay ? And do I need to do a complete wipe data of my phone ? thanks for everyones help
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Yeah, i always wipe system, data, cache when i'm restoring a back up just to be on the safe side as a nandroid will literally restore your phone to the condition it was in when you backed it up

ive been rooted for quite some time, and never have had trouble with pulling backups form clockwork recovery. last night i made a backup of my CM7.0.3 that i was using for a while to try out virtuous unity. today on my lunch break at work i attempted to load the backup and i was getting that error message.
i did a "superwipe for g2" right before i tried to recover.
then i attempted to recover my stock rom i have had for months an i got the same error message. any ideas? the only thing i could think of is a few days ago i cleared out a HUGE cache in my clockwork from my SD to clear up my card. could that be it? any help would be appreciated.
bump.
someone please give me some help! i would really appreciate it.
i attempted this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11768066&postcount=2965
but go no response and still had a md5 mismatch.
Had that issue before... The back up process didn't go right unfortunately. I would recommend you to download another Rom and transfer it to your SD card.

what do you mean by that?

Well it rarely happens. I remember when I got the same error and told somebody in XDA they told me that during the back up process clockwork didn't back it up correctly which leads you not being able to restore your back up. Had virtuous 2.2 back then, good thing was I had 2 back ups just in case so I was able to restore a later version of my back up.

Did you by any chance change the name of the folder of the backup? I once 'annotated' the default date-time format that Clockworkmod uses with something more meaningful to me, but found that it breaks the MD5 check.
I'm just asking on the off-chance because changing the folder name back to what it was when the backup was made will fix it, if that's the case.
Good luck.
Yeah I did, but I hadn't had any problems with renaming it with it before. I attempted to change it back to a default name and that didn't work. Is there anyway to try and recover my backup, or just my data?

I also had this problem before when switching between cyanogen and a Sense ROM. The way I fixed it was I downloaded, wiped and installed a fresh new cyanogen ROM. After it was installed I was able to restore my old backup from CWM.
ill have to give that a try. thankyou sir.
So I ran this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915617
and it said that I had no rsa keys, so I went to my first nandroid before I switched to a custom rom nandroid backups, and a wimax.(my phones host ID I think).img existed in the folder. So I restored it.
After it was done I ran the app again, and it said that my keys were still not there. Afterwards, I went back to recovery and went to backup/restore and choose advance restore and checked the things I could restore, wimax wasn't among them, even though the file was there.
So my question: Is there anything I can do to restore them? I do have a backup.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried using 4G? Maybe it just isn't reporting back correctly. Was your first nandroid done with the recovery the OP posted in the perm root thread where you had to manually backup the wimax keys or did you download rom manager from the market and install your recovery that way which backs them up automatically?
I have tried using 4G, but it doesn't work, I've tried other backups as well to no avail.
And it was with clockworkmod I made my backup, not manually

You could try the 2.2 ruu then reroot,maybe that would fix things don't know if the keys are individual device specific.

Tried it, but my rsa keys are still missing. Anything else to do, I have them backed up with clockwork, it just won't recognize them or restore them.
I wonder if you could push them with adb?

I think I would pm bcnice or someone from the perm root thread who seem knowledgable about such things. I only mention bcnice because in his original root instructions he had us manually back them up so I assume he probably knows how to restore the backups. I have a feeling many people would be willing to help but they probably don't frequent this board too often.
