in Amon_Ra's thread about his recovery image there is already a discussion on exactly this issue. you can check there, whether you find any clues.
did you by any chance use apps2sd when you made the nandroid backup?
when you attempted to do the nandroid restore, did you format your sdcard before that (and thereby deleting partitions that were used for apps2sd before)?
--> means, was your sdcard partitioned when you made the backup, and is the sdcard now still partitioned?
if not, from what i understand the restore error will appear, because the file system structure is not the same now as it was when you made the backup

Man thank you for this tips I will definitely take a closer look a that thread and again thanks
Hi guys,
Once again, thanks to MartinEve and the whole unrevoked team for the work they've made on Wildfire rooting.
I've just used unrevoked to root my wildfire. Seems alright cause :
> id cmd tells I'm root
> titanium backup tells root permission is given
Cool
But... I try to do a nandroid backup from the clockworkmod recovery and it says : "Error while dumping boot image!"
Do you have any idea ?
Thx a lot
Solved...
It was due to a problem on my sdcard (was not able to write in the /sdcard folder even from windows). I had to delete some files and then nandroid backup was available.

I backed up 4.1.2 using cwm. I flashed eclipse 3.0 and now trying to restore backup. Cwm is not able to find clockworkmod folder. When I search for a zip file I only see 3 directories. 0, legacy and some obb.

i had the same problem but I haven't done that fix, i did the lazy thing and manually moved my backup from /data/media to the clockworkmod/backup on my sdcard. then CWM was able to find it.
Thanks but how do I restore everything to pre 4.2 CWM and directory structure and not this 0/ and legacy/ stuff.

do you have the wifi-only version? i'm a little new to this device, but i believe restoring your 4.1.2 nandroid will take you back to where you wanna be? otherwise if you wanna do a complete factory restore, you can reflash the factory image:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796
Yea wifi only. I am doing a factory reset now. Sucks that 4.2 messed up the directory structure.
So I was able to do a full adb backup when I was on 4.1.2 before I updated to 4.2.2.. I wanted to do another full adb backup again on 4.2.2 before putting a recovery or custom rom on my device so it would be easy to restore back to my completely stock experience (with root) if I choose. But for some reason after letting it run all the way through (I let it run overnight since it takes so long) the backup is nowhere to be found which leads me to believe it failed somewhere along the way, but no errors are reported. Has anybody had this issue or have any advice on what may be going on? I've tried doing:
Adb backup -all
Adb backup -all C:\Users\Wyth\Desktop
Adb backup -all G:\ (external HDD)
Adb backup -all G:\xtzbackup (in case adb backup had some sort of bug saving to the root of the drive)
If anybody has any help or alternative solutions to creating a full system backup I'd appreciate it! Thanks in advance!
If you are going to supply a path and file name, don't forget the -f switch

Thanks, that was absolutely the issue. I guess I did that the first time around but forgot the second. I ended up making the backup and then unlocking the bootloader. Unfortunately I forgot that it would completely wipe the internal storage rather than just a factory reset, so I lost my titanium backups. Tried to do the adb restore, and every time after the first app it would just reboot the device. After trying it many times I ended up using the adb extractor tool to create a tar from the backup. Apparently however the backup was no good because when extracting the tar after getting to a certain part every time it came up with unexpected end of archive. But I at least got most of the titanium backup folder out. Tried copying that to internal storage and it was permission denied. Copied it to external sd, and then on the tablet transferred it to internal storage. Then every time I restored any of the data, when I rebooted the tablet it would go into bootloops. After many ftf flashes and time wasted copying things back and forth all over the place I finally am basically just resigning to starting over. Boot into CWM and made a backup, and find that it makes the clockwork mod backup folder in data/media rather than the proper place in data/media/0 or even data/media/legacy. The option to backup to external sdcard also doesn't work, as it refuses to mount sdcard or external-sdcard. Needless to say the last 24 hours or so has been massive headaches. Is there a newer version of CWM for the tablet than 6.0.3.2? It seems pretty buggy and hard to believe that it is what everyone has been using as the button combination to reboot to recovery doesn't even work.
Btw, I'm trying to do this on the stock sony 4.2.2 firmware for sgp312.

I saw many people getting md5 mismatch while doing backup. So, I wrote this thread to help them.
Today I am going to share with you a method of restoring backups easily without an md5 error.
1ST METHOD:
Here are the steps:
1)Go to the folder where you saved your backup.
2)Open nandroid.md5 file with any text editor on your phone.
3)Delete all the lines from starting to end.
4)Save the file and close it.
5)Now restore your backup through CWM or Philz Touch or TWRP.
2ND METHOD:
If you changed the name of the backup folder, then, that is causing the problem. Try to change the name without adding spaces and/or special characters.
3RD METHOD:
Also you can use nandroid manager to recreate md5 sums.
Link in the next post by akiratoriyama
Thanks to @akiratoriyama
Or if you don't want to use nandroid manager, then you can use terminal emulator to recreate those sums:
Open terminal emulator then,
Use the following commands. (DON'T FORGET TO REPLACE "2012-04-17.10.09.36" WITH YOUR OWN BACKUP FOLDER NAME)
su
# mount -o remount rw /sdcard
#cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-04-17.10.09.36
#rm nandroid.md5
#md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
Don't forget to put the spaces!!
Voila, now your backup will restore properly without any md5 error:beer:

No way to restore stock rom. You didn't complete the backup.
Yes you can flash 4.2 to get TouchWiz back.
