tried restoring a backup and it says md5 or whatever mismatch... is there anything i can do so i can flash that?
I think there is a way to bypass the security in the advandced options in CWM as long as you are certain the restore is valid. there should be no problems? but I'm no expert

Huh that's strange. U might have to just reflash the rom and really do everything. Never heard of that problem

If you change the file name of a backup, it will give you that error. Did you do that?
maybe file corruption on the sd card ??
you could try making a backup of the sd card on your pc, then formatting the SD card, then restoring what's necessary to do the nandroid restore .. just another suggestion.
Just shell into your phone goto the backups dir and do
Md5sum -t *.img > nandroid.md5

I did! it was hard to find the exact one
Making a new nandroid.md5 file like I described above will fix the issue

This will not make a difference backups are made into a yaffs image. You can backup a rfs system and restore it to an ext4 system.

But yet a lot of people seem to go into boot loops restoring a backup of an RFS system on a newly formatted EXT4 system.
Do you BONSAI?

From my experience with nand backups is that its like the whole /data partition gets backed up/restored which brings in things that can cuase conflicts, things in dalvik cache and such.I have only ever had luck restore a nand to the same rom that the backup was made from I have always had issues going from one rom to another.IMO backing up your apps with Titanium Backup and restoring them without restoring system data has always been a win for me, nand backups have always been hit or miss.

Best to clear cache dalvik and tombstone at the very least after a nandroid restore

I'm new to Android and modded bins so please bear with me. Before I rooted my Aria I made a nandroid backup so I can bring it back to factory condition if needed. If I make a nandroid backup with the cm6 bin will it overwrite the previous backup or will I have a choice of backups. Thanks in advance.
Each backup ranges from 70 to 100 megabytes depending on your apps and other stuff, that said you can have as many backups you sd card
can hold

Also, it will not overwrite the old one, it puts each Backup in a folder named with the date the backup was created.

The aria can hold as many backups that will fit on your memory card. It wont overwrite the old one, you'll be presented with options of what nandroid you want to restore by the date you backed them up.

As an example ...
I backup and rename , depending on the ROM
I got
Liberated
Froyo001
Froyo002
Froyo002
So when I restore , I know what to look for !
If I have apps stored on SD will clockworkmod backup/recovery take care of these - ie will it restore the apps back to the sd card after a recovery?
Thanks.
You mean sd-ext? Yes it will backup everything except photos,music things like that......

Yes it backs up all the apps on sdcard. Both the sd-ext apps and the .android_secure folder apps.
During restore of a nandroid backup it will first format the sd-ext and .android_secure folder and then restores their contents to it. So it will not mess up the things generally (unless u use the advanced restore to restore the contents to a different rom).

So this would work to backup apps on Sd, then restore them back to the Sd? I got a tun of apps on installed on my Sd card.. i've been wondering the best way to backup/restore them between flipping back and forth with different mods.
Thanks in advance!
is there any way to manually backup by copying all the apps and user data and restore it when necessary without using the nandroid backup and titanium
You can dump the data partition to sdcard using terminal

Hey all silly question but when nexus 7 is rooted and a nandroid backup taken what happens when you really format the data partition from cwm does that wipe out the backup? Only ever had one device and it has a SD slot which stores the backups. Sorry for the newbie question.
It places the backups on the internal memory
/sdcard partition
It will not be erased if you format data from recovery
It will be erased if you do factory reset or fastboot erase userdata

Ok thanks. After a bit a research I found that twrp will backup and restore straight from otg usb storage so will use that.

I decided to do the same: what's worth a backup on a device you probably cannot access any longer?

Are you backing up your hard disk on itself? What do you do, if there is a hardware failure? Or even simpler: a 'wrongly' programmed install script which is formatting the data partition ...

use the cloud.
If you can live with that, do it. I for myself prefer to have a copy near to me accessible all the time.

I was wondering... If you do a factory reset in cwm, will it remove the contents of the virtual SD card? I would hope it wouldn't, but want to make sure.
Also wondering if it would erase the contents of the cwm backup folder, since that's been separated out now.

No if you do a factory reset in cwm it wipes only the /data and cache partitions so you can then flash a rom which overwrites /system, so everything but /sdcard gets wiped.
And what about the cwm folder? I haven't heard of it changing.
It's always been /sdcard/clockworkmod/

With the nexus 10, the clockwork mod backup folder is in /mint/shell/emulated/clockworkmod
Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it.

weird, I went to find my clockworkmod folder and it's not in my sdcard. =O
I also can't find "/mint/" maybe you meant /mnt? but even then it's still not there. I did a nandroid backup, but I cannot find the folder.
Mistype, /mnt/
I know that alot of apps can't see that directory, thats "by design" from what i've seen... i'm using ES File Manager, have it set to root permissions, and have it set to up to root, and i'm able to see it there.
