[Q]Can't restore nandroid backup

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.

i also tried installing it also got an error
what is wrong can some one help us
waiting for u help thanks in advance guys
little thing i extracted the nand zip and posted it in the root of the sd card
nandroid backups must be placed on sd card in /clockworkmod/backup/
also note that there must be a sub-directory within /clockworkmod/backup that contains the nandroid files
such as: /clockworkmod/backup/my_nandroid/ <--- your nandroid files go in here
thanks alot zyxwvut
No problem I hope you got it all sorted.
Ya know, without these threads I would've been stuck with an expensive paper-weight a long time ago. It's all about being a community and helping each other. Thats what we try to do here

I'm having an error too, try to do this but still get the error when trying to install the nandroid backup.
Here is what i did:
I place the zip file on sd card in /clockworkmod/backup/
also I unzip the file and place the files under: /clockworkmod/backup/my_nandroid
after trying to instal the zip i get this error: "E:Error in /system/bootmenu/script/recovery.sh
(Result: No such file or directory)"
I guess I'm either doing something wrong or the zip file is missing something!
im having the same here
cant run nandroid/flash rom/factor reset via cwm
I have CWM installed and have been able to flash roms in the past. But now, when ever i try to flash a rom, run a nandroid backup, or a factory reset… it just basically wipes out my user info. Goes back to stock with all of my applications still loaded so i get bazillion force closes. I have verified my nandroid and it is good… i just cant get cwm to load it. Any ideas? thx in advance!

Please ask all questions in the Q&A section. Thread moved there.
There is no better ROM
Actualy, we should try both CM7 and CM10 and choose what to use, I've chosen CM7 because I've had problem with 3G connection on CM10, it's slow and I cound't actvate wifi tether without doing a workaround.

easiest way to is restore your nandroid backup you made before you flash the mod
What I hear you cry - I have no nandroid backup!!
Well now you are going to have to do things the hard way
unzip the mod
look at all the files in the mod
now unzip your rom zip
replace all the files in the mod with the ones from your rom zip
rezip the mod
flash it in cwm with system mounted

@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.
Press thanks if I have helped you.

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
