What version of recover did you use to make the backup? This was an issue with the early interim version (5.8.x.x) which has been resolved with the official release.
There's a post with a method of deleting the backups here (this will wipe all your backups, so copy anything you really want to keep somewhere else before you do this).
Then, if you haven't already, install the official clockworkmod recovery 6.0.1.0 from this thread and you should be sorted.

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.
Not sure exactly what happened. I was using the tablet and all of a sudden the bottom three buttons disappeared as well as the top bar. The system kept getting force closes. I rebooted and it just sat in the reboot mode. I tried to recover from the system but that is not working. I cant seem to get the system to mount via usb now. I am in clockwork mod v5.8.0.2 and do not see an option. If I could mount it I could put an img file back on and get it to work. Any help would be great.

You could try to flash back the stock software to see if that helps? Look here for some help.
Are you running a custom ROM or anything else? ALSO, once you do manage to get everything fixed, I would upgrade your CWM to the most current version 6.0.1.0 by flashing this in the older (5.8.0.2) version.
Sounds like it might be permission related, you could try a 'fix permissions' in recovery

Permissions did not fix it. I am trying to figure out the ADB.

I keep getting the message "error: cannot load 'bootloader-grouper-3.34.img' . It seems like something is wrong with the file. Is there a way I could just flash another Rom on this way or even update the clockwork mod using adb?

Did you download the nakasi file from the google site? You shouldn't have an issue with that. And you can update CWM using ADB, just check over in the Android Development section.

This is seriously not the advice to be giving out on the forums for a minor software issue on an unlocked and rooted tablet especially.

Anyone having trouble making nandroid backups using clockworkmod? I'm using the latest version of clockworkmod touch and stock 4.4. I run the backup, it appears to run fine, says it's finished, but when I reboot there is no backup files. This has happened multiple times, including getting burnt by modifying a system file and then finding out my backup is non-existent. I'm used to TWRP, but someone told me it doesn't work with 4.4 so I switched.

Maybe you are looking into the wrong directory.. mine is located at Device\Data\Media\Clockworkmod\Backup.
Hope that helps!

I guess I'm used to TWRP where it is saved under /sdcard/TWRP, plus I was thrown off by the clockworkmod folder at /sdcard/clockworkmod
I just wasted a couple hours setting everything up because I couldn't find the backup
Hey everyone. So I thought that I would flash CM11 to my Nexus 10 last night, coming from CM10.2 via CWM. Well something happened and it wouldn't let me flash it, it said status 7 and install aborted.,I backed everything up, so no big deal right? Wrong! My backup says MD5 mismatch. So now my tablet won't boot past Google screen, except for into CWM. What can I do to fix this? I only have access to a mac computer.

have you tried the Nexus Root Toolkit? You can flash stock rom from it with just one click. I'm not sure if it works on mac, but give it a try, it's in the development section
I did just that! Thanks.

I installed the HORSEMAGEDDON ROM and it worked - for the most part. But it kept giving me annoying errors about different apps that were attempting to update every time I turned it on. So I tried to restore my backup that I had made with CWM 6.0.2.8. However the backup apparently did not restore properly because it now boot loops back into CWM any time I try to start it. I get the errors:
E:Can't open cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open cache/recovery/last_log
So I tried to reflash HORSEMAGEDDON but it still loops back into the CWM recovery screen.
I have wiped everything according to the instructions on the HORSEMAGEDDON thread.
HELP!! This happened to me on another U8800-51 phone and I wound up hard bricking it trying to get back to stock.
Anybody???
Does anybody have any ideas on how I can fix this?

Yes. I did a wipe of data and factory reset as well.
What I would do is get an SD card with a custom rom on it and try installing it from recovery menu

Obviously you have been having problems with that rom, so go with something different.

Okay. Here is what I did step by step:
1. I was on Stock 2.2.2 Froyo and flashed HORSEMAGEDDON successfully. But I had some errors related to updates since it was such an old ROM the updates were all for much newer versions of the apps tied to 4.x.x.
2. I attempted to restore my backup made with CWM 6 to return to the stock. It said it completed successfully but when I rebooted it just looped into the recovery screen with the error messages posted in my first post.
3. So I tried to reflash HORSEMAGEDDON and it said it completed successfully. But it still bootloops into recovery.
4. I can access most of the features of the recovery. I can access the pink screen and swap recovery versions. I can access my SD card from my PC when I mount it from recovery.
5. Yes, I did do full wipes with each attempt to reflash.
The ROM was not the problem. It worked and worked well other than update issues for apps. It was only after attempting to restore to stock I ran into issues.
The problem appears to be something was corrupted when I tried to restore my backup, even though it said it completed successfully.
So if I try to flash yet another custom ROM, even if I could find one I trust given all of the version issues etc., I don't think it would act any differently. But if somebody can recommend one I am all ears. Keep in mind I have a -51 phone so it will have to be for that or the PRO.
Given that, how can I get back to stock? Am I the only person who has ever had this problem? I don't believe that is the case, so somebody must know how to fix it or can point me to a procedure to repair the internal memory.
Help!!

None of the fixes on this link seem to apply to my situation.
When I said "bootloop" I may have misused the term. What happens is I power up, it goes to logo screen for about 10 seconds, shuts down and restarts to logo screen then goes into recovery after about 5 seconds. From other info that I have found it is due to a corrupt bootloader and I need to reflash the bootloader. Problem is, reflashing the bootloader i.e. CWM, does no good at all.
I am also hampered by lack of info specific to the -51 model. And I cannot find a copy of the stock ROM anywhere that is for the -51.
So essentially I am screwed. All of that said, I have found a new phone for $40.00 so all is not lost. It's a U8800 but not the -51 or PRO. I don't plan on customizing it, I'll just stick with stock. After trashing two phones even after following the advice to "BACKUP" I think enough is enough. Backing up did me no good whatsoever in both cases.
In my estimation, the culprit is CWM, or at least the versions I used.
If anybody has any advice I'm all ears.
