I downloaded the jboogie's deblur nandroid backup but now the problem is, i don't know how to restore it because when i get to clockword mod recovery, i have "backup and restore option" then i go to "restore" and it just says "File not found". the image files are in \sdcard\goapkrev\backup\2011-02-18.23.25.47
I also made a new directory because some people posted to hve the image files in that directory which is \sdcard\clockwordmod\backup\2011-02-18.23.25.47
But it still says "fill not found" also one thing, i don't have a nandroid option in clockwordmod recovery...only "backup and restore"...what should i do?
Have you solved your problem? I think the directory should be "clockworkmod".

Yup, that did work for me. I had the exact same problem. I didn't get to see the backup to restore.
Here what you should do. Delete the folder (Clockworkmod) in your memory card.
Restart the phone and go into custom recovery - restore/backup. Perform a backup.
Your phone will automatically generate a new folder Clockworkmod. After this you can just paste your jboogie's deblur nandroid backup in this folder and start your restoring the right way.

You sir, have saved my a$$, THANK YOU
I'm getting an error when I try to install a .zip file through CWM recovery.
I get an error saying : E: Can't Open /sdcard/x (No such file or directory exists).
I've looked around and have learned that my best bet is to format my SD card. I can do that just fine, but I don't want to lose my data. I'm not flashing a ROM, it's just a custom lockscreen clock. If I format, I'll have to redo everything and lose all my data, apps, and system files (I'm running CM7 off of my SD card). But I need that for my zip to even be worth it.
I'm running a nightly build. Is there any possibility/plausibility that this could be a ROM-specific bug?
Is there any advice as to what I should do?
Thanks in advance.

If you are running CM7 on SD you do not flash zips to it with ordinary CWM. Ordinary CWM will flash things to emmc. But maybe that is what you are trying to do. You do not say what you have on emmc.
If you want to flash the zip to the SD installation, make sure the zip file starts with update- and put it in the boot partition just like you do for roms. Then boot to SD recovery and the script will install it to SD.
An alternate way to flash things to SD installed CM7 is to use a special CWM modified for use on SD installs. You can read about and get it by looking at my tips thread linked in my signature. Item B5.
If you want to flash to emmc, make sure you are using an ordinary SD to put the zip on. Ordinary CWM always looks for partition one on the sd for the zip file. On your CM7 SD, the file is on partition 4 so CWM cannot find it.
So I'm trying to flash a new clock for my NC's unlock screen. The zip is called HoneyCombClock.zip. So do I just rename it to update.zip? That's not going to mess anything up?
Also yes, I booted into boot menu and selected emmc recovery. I thought that I needed to do CWM recovery.
I'll try the proposed method when I get a confirmation that it's not going to mess up my NC.

You need to find out if it is a flashable zip... or if it is an app that has been zipped... I'm betting on the latter.

If it is a flashable zip like Dizzy pointed out, you should rename to update-HoneyCombClock.zip. But I agree with Dizzy that it is probably a zipped apk file, not a flashable zip. Try looking at it with a zip program and see what you get.
It is indeed a flashable zip. I extracted it to make sure.
Also, I'm curious as to what you (leapinlar) meant when you instructed me to put the zip in the boot partition. From what I understand, that's the root of the SD card, right? Or has it changed?

Yes, it is what shows up on your PC when you take the card out of the nook and put it in the PC. Copy the zip there, rename it like I suggested above, put back in nook. When booting hold the n key until the boot menu comes up. Select SD and recovery and finish booting. The recovery script will install the zip.
I'm doing it and I'm not getting any errors, but when I boot into recovery, it runs through and shuts down without installing the zip. I don't understand what I could be doing wrong.

And you renamed it like I said with update- on the front? (Don't forget the dash and no spaces.)
The file name is "update-HoneyCombClock". That should work right?
Sorry about these extended questions.

and .zip at the end?
It's automatically recognized as a zip file. If I put .zip at the end, it will show up on my tablet as "update-HoneyCombClock.zip.zip" Nevertheless, I'll try it and see what I get. I'll laugh if it works.

Even if you get it flashing with your SD setup... it may not work if it requires honeycomb and you're running gingerbread.
It's meant for cm7. Here's a link to the thread I got the zip from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959602

What does the script say when it boots to SD recovery? Does it say install zip not found? And when you take it back out and look at it in the PC, is it still there? If it installed, the script will remove it. I know you can have your PC set to not show known extensions so it looks like it is missing. Temporarily disable that so you can really see the name. The script requires that it be named precisely, update- at the beginning, .zip at the end and no spaces.
The script doesn't mention any .zip installation. The zip file stays on my sd card root after recovery.
I just set my computer to show extensions. I'll retry the installation and make sure that every detail is perfect.
I remember doing something similar when I flashed a nightly on my nook. It was a .zip file. It wasn't flashing, so I looked around and got the impression that it would only instal if it had "update-" at the beginning. So I renamed it and it installed. I don't know what's up with my NC now. Is there any possibility that this could be a bug with the nightly? Or are installations not affected by ROM's.

No the existing rom will make no difference. It could be the zip itself. It has to be structured like a rom zip. It needs a /system directory with the files you want to flash. And it needs a META-INF folder with the script file buried in it. Where did you get the zip? Maybe I could look at it for you.
EDIT: I just downloaded and looked at it. It is just adding a single font to your /fonts folder. Nothing else. You can do that manually with root explorer. Just extract the font from the zip and copy to /system/fonts.
I got the zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959602
The clock can be flashed on any device with the following zip in recovery just like before.

The zip has a font file and a meta-inf folder.
Look at my edit above
I replaced the file, but now I'm in an infinite bootloop.It just keeps doing the skateboarding android animation. Please tell me this isn't a problem with permissions. I don't know if I can even edit permissions now.

@marcussmith2626: Dude, its only hard for noobs.
@abhishekr700: I can't help you when you choose to be a noob. You can follow marcussmith2626 if you want to restore your backup files.
If you don't need to restore or if you have not created a backup, then download stock ROM for your phone and flash it with odin.
There are lots of tutorials to flash it with odin. So don't ask me how to do so.
Press thanks if I helped you.

you can try this:
look in the theme for which files it have and then choose this files but from your current romzip or themezip what you used before you flashed the theme and replace it with the ones you didnt need on your phone,when you didnt have some files than its your fail,because a NANDROID BACKUP is allways recomned before doing changes in anyway
Recommend
Only odex version of the stock rom produce these kind of force close problems.
Try to flash deodexed stock rom. It will solve all the force close issues.
But the only problem is that it occupies more memory.
You can even extend your internal storage either by partitioning the sd-card or by swapping method.
Feel free to PM me if the problem doesn't get solved.

I saw the file but when i click it it say no files found.
Pls someone help me.
Hi,
You can try with Philz Recovery instead of CWMRecovery.
You can also try to open your backup file on PC to see if there is some files inside
Hello,
Yes I know this is a DUMB question but when I used to flash my other phones I physically had an SDcard in it and knew if my files were on it. I have been having nothing but issues with my experience lately and am getting past each part carefully.
I am wondering where on the file structure the files need to be as in when I do a FULL wipe in recovery I do not wipe the files.
I have attached my screenshot, I take my files from the download folder and put them in the / to me what would be considered the root folder.
It then looks like it is called an emulated folder. I just wanted to verify this does not get wiped from TWRP.
Thanks!
I keep everything rom related in a directory called ROMs in /storage/emulated/0. Everything in my rom directory is retained after a full wipe.
Btw, it's a smart question.
OK, thanks I appreciate the response.
Now I just need to figure out why I was having so many problems installing a custom ROM.
