Cant restore backup in CWM - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I wanted to restore my 4.3 stock rom nandroid backup in CWM, but the recovery says there is an md5 mismatch, so I cant restore the backup. What can I do to restore the backup? I am currently on kitkat nexus 5 port.

Search on Google for the error, there are some fixes but in the worst case you'll be unable to restore it at all

Is there a way to wipe clean the system storage and just keep the stock ROM?

I initially rooted and flashed twrp recovery on my nexus 7 and then I decided to go to clockworkmod recovery since I'm very familiar with clockworkmod and I use ROM manager app. I'm not sure but I think twrp recovery images are still taking up space in my storage because I have one nandroid backup and I only have 19GB of 27.58GB storage. I have 1.6GB in apps, 0.8GB in titanium backup and 0.7GB misc. Downloads. Thanks in advance.

If you have remaining TWRP backups they will be in the TWRP folder on your SD... If you are certain you won't be using TWRP in the future just delete the folder. A better idea would probably be to move it to your PC just in case you might want them again...

Anyone else experiencing unreliable CWM, Titanium backups?

Hi
In preparation for a flash to stock (a la undercover and efrant), I backed up twice via cwm and downloaded to my PC via the browser server and also carried out app backups to each of drop box and box using Titanium.
Having flashed a stock image as described, I find that neither cwm backup works (unexpected end of archive and md5 mismatch) and when I restore either Titanium backup the data for the Safe Notes app isn't restored.
So my question is mainly: how do I ensure a reliable backup?
Secondly, does anyone have any ideas how to restore my important Safe Notes data?

Titanium Backup.
Restoring the data partition could cause ROM problems, like FCs, and stuff that doesn't worn properly.

Hello,
Next time please make a double post only after 24H without an answer, otherwise modify the one before.
CWM and TWRP recoveries don't backup and restore /preload partition, only Philz does. In that partition there are some system apps/services, without them you may have weird errors or something not working at all. The only way to restore stock ROM in your case is to reflash with Odin. Next time use Philz recovery to backup your stock ROM (enabling custom backup and including /preload) if you don't want to use Odin again

CWM Backup

Hello everyone, I just rooted my Note 3 and want to flash Dr.Ketan's latest room. But I want to make sure that I had a backup of everything like EFS, IMEI, Modem and everything else on my phone. There is a option in CWM recovery of backup. Does this backup backsup everthing? Or any other way of doing full backup?
