In ROM Manager, after going to "Manage and Restore Backups", and select the file I want to restore, a window pops up with the message: "This does not seem to be a valid backup. The MD5 file is missing."
I'm not sure what is wrong. If it helps, I'm on an EVO and I didn't use the default name that ROM Manager generated and used my own. EDIT: I've also gone into Recovery > Nandroid > Restore and selected the desired backup. I then get the message: "MD5 mismatch!"
Thanks in Advance.
I've never used Rom Manager, but do you know what recovery you are using? I usually just boot into recovery and use the option to restore from there. When phone is off, hold volume down and power then use vol down to select recovery

My EVO died. Sprint replaced it with a new one. I am trying to restore my old system. I had done a nand backup, copied it to my PC. I have now copied it back to my sdcard. Rerooted my new EVO (with simple root) and flashed recovery. When I try to restore the nand backup, I get the following from the recovery log:
Restore BCDS-20100809-1819 ?
Press Power to confirm,
any other key to abort.
Restoring : .
nandroid-mobile v2.2.1
Searching for backup directories, matching BCDS-20100809-1819, to delete or restore
or compress
Looking for the latest backup, will display other choices!
Error: no backups found
Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb!
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? I restored the whole /nandroid directory. In recovery, I get a phone with a red triangle with a red exclamation point overlayed. Also at bottom "Build : not set". Saw neither of these on my last EVO recovery. It is supposed to be amon-RA recovery.
Please help.
Figured it out. My serial number changed of course. Had to get a sub-directory under nandroid with the new serial number. Restored fine.
Still don't understand, I get a phone with a red triangle with a red exclamation point overlayed. Also at bottom "Build : not set". Saw neither of these on my last EVO recovery.
I've been reading/searching everything I can get my hands on but I still have some questions to ask before I bite the bullet on a new ROM for my supersonic.
I've done the unrevoked root and fiddled around (of course did the nandroid backup as instructed). Subsequently I've installed setcpu and other root-requiring tools.
However, now I want to try cyanogenmod but I realize that in the event something goes wrong, even if I have done a nandroid backup, I won't know what to do. All writeups I've found involve using windows command line (fastboot.exe?).
So the short of my question is, how do I:
a) Restore to current setup
or
b) Restore to 100% stock
(I do have rom manager with clockwork recovery installed but don't know how they work (can't find a good write up.))

when you boot into recovery create a new clockwork back...
wipe system/data/davlik cache
flash cyanogogen
flash gapps if you want them
then reboot phone (will boot into cm6)
no at any point in tim you want to go back to the back you made.
power off phone
reboot into boot loader while holding vol down and power
chose recovery
should boot into clockwork mod recovery
wipe system/data/davlik cache
choose backup/restore
chose your restore you made earlier.
let it do its thing and reboot phone
easy money its breeze
Backup your Nandroid to your Mac
I'd advise backing up your Nandroid to your desktop as follows:
Plug your data cable into your Evo.
Plug it into your Mac.
Depending on the ROM you're on, you should have a USB icon show up in your notification bar on your Evo. (That's the bar at the top of your home screen.)
Pull the notification bar down.
Click on the line that says, "Charge only."
Choose "Disk drive," then "Done."
Your phone will show up as a Volume on your desktop.
Double click on it.
A Finder window will open showing the contents of your microSD card.
You want to find the Nandroid and copy it to someplace on your Mac.
I have only used Clockwork Recovery once. The Nandroid is either in a folder named "Nandroid" or it's in a folder called "Backup(s)." You will have two Nandroids, one you made originally when you rooted, and the current one. I'd save both.
I'd also suggest you start using Amon RA for your recovery. It does a better job of wiping Cache and Dalvik and has the ability to backup your Wimax keys. (It doesn't often happen that you lose your Wimax keys, but if you do, it often means replacing your Evo.)
Now, when you're ready to eject your Evo, right click on the Volume on your desktop (mine is called "NO NAME") and eject it.
THEN, go back to your Evo, pull down the notification bar and click on the line that says, "Disk drive."
Click on "Charge only," then "Done."
NOW you can safely unplug your Evo from your Mac.
With clockwork your backups will be located in /clockwork/backup id you intend to back it up to your Mac
How big (MB/GB) should the backup be?

I've tried this and also the automated method from rom manager and nothing works. If I go into recovery it shows fastboot (says nothing about clockwork nor about nandroid). It does give a momentary run down of green text that makes it look like it's trying to locate some files but says they're not present and forces me back to the screen before I can read it all...
Any ideas?
Looks like something was wrong with permissions or clockwork. I reflashed clockwork, forgot and re-allowed rom manager and now it appears to be backing up properly.
Thanks to those who posted up!
Hi All,
Just tried to install the Latest Leedroid ROM (GB) but then the desire hung on the HTC white screen.
I used Clockwork to install the ROM, but before doing so backed up via clockwork.
Now i want to restore that backup, but can't find a way of doing it.
I have been able to get to the recovery screen using 'Flash ROM', however from here when i try installing clockwork via the the zip file it does not work.
I used the option resotre from Nand but no Nandroid folder exists.
Having interrogated the SD Card there is a folder called clockworkrecovery and it does contain a backup folder with files that have a .img extension.
Can someone please help me get back to a working ROM, or explain a way i can use the backup i took to recover my phone.
Thanks in advance.
I have been looking for a simple enough guide to follow (2hrs +) but i have found nothing.

Can you boot to recovery? ie; turn phone off. Hold volume button (-) and press power button? Should boot to recovery. Then you can navigate to select the recovery file.
Yes i can get to recovery, it give me a red triangle with an exclamation mark, at that point i use Flash ROM - recovery-windows.bat to get into recovery, it at that point i am stuck, because none of the options give me the ability to restore from the backup i took via clockwork
First go to Normal recovery (Red Triangle) by maintaining Vol Down + Power
and then press Vol Up + Power
This will bring you to another recovery menu where you can : Reboot , Flash from sd , Wipe Data/factory ,Wipe Cache
THANKS!!!!
Can't believe i spent that long for such a simple task!

Not such a simple task, if you don't know about it.
On a more personal note, I've been reading a lot of issues with LeeDroid ROMs lately. Maybe it is the spring weather. And it concerns updating.
Just a notice...
Be sure to hit Thanks! If it helped.
Im flashing my GF defy green lense. I myself have a htc hd2 and im no novice when it comes to flashing and modding but the defy really makes my head hurt. its out of warranty and its been running really crapp. I want to flash the: [ROM][05.02.2012]MS2Ginger - Android 2.3.6
Ive managed to root the device but i cant seem to get Clockwork mod on it to flash. Maybe because its late but ive been following the beginners guide but im stumped what to do next.
Any help from the experts would be superb
Thanks Baker0

Do you mean you can't install clockworkmod, or that you're having trouble using it to flash the rom? To install Clockworkmod, just use this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212
Run the app and install custom recovery, then reboot the phone. The first time you reboot, the custom BootMenu will display. Use the volume buttons to navigate the menu and the power button to select an option. Select Boot > Set Default > Normal > Go Back > Reboot System. After the phone has fully booted up, power it off and reboot again. If the custom recovery installed properly, a blue LED on the phone should briefly light up each time the phone reboots (while the Motorola logo is being displayed).
To use the recovery, turn off USB debugging on the phone (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging), then power off the phone. Press the power button to turn the phone on again, and as soon as the blue LED lights up, press the volume down button. The custom BootMenu will display. Select Recovery > Custom Recovery.
Thanks it makes more sense now i'll give it ago tonight. Very much appreciated
Glad I could help. Let me know if you need further assistance.
I do ive got further..ive done
Root your DEFY and Install BOOTMENU - CWM (2ndInit-Installer 2.0.apk - install 1.0.7) or use this SndInitDefy_2.0.apk
CM7/9 and MIUI user can start with step 2
2. REBOOT
3. run 2nd-init (voldown on blue LED)
4. Go to "Recovery"
5. Go to "Latest or Stable or Custom Recovery"
6. "wipe data and cache"
7. Go to "Backup and Restore"
8. Go to "Advance Restore"
9. Select "MS2Ginger3.0"
Once i select Ms2Ginger3.0 its coming up with :
Clockworkmod recovery v2.5.1.8
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 Mismatch!
Then nothing else. Ive had a look on the forums but i cant find a solution. Ive formatted the SD card as fat32. Ive re-downloaded the file. Do I need to do something else before with my factory 2.2 defy?
Any help would be great
Cheers
Baker0
Did you unzip the "MS2Ginger3.0-RTM.zip" file? You have to unzip that file and put the "nandroid.md5" and "system.ext3.tar" files on your SD card in clockworkmod/backup/MS2Ginger. (The "MS2Ginger-Greenbread.zip" file should NOT be unzipped, however, and should be in the root of the SD card.)
If you did that correctly and you're still getting an MD5 mismatch error, try checking the MD5 sum yourself using an app like AFV (Android File Verifier), which is available free on the android market. (Open AFV and browse to the md5sum file, long-press it, and select “md5sum –c Type Check”.) Does AFV show a mismatch too?
ahh i didnt unzip. I dont do that with the hd2
Next step... Sorry I feel like a complete n00bie
All im getting now is system.img not found skipping restore of /system/.
Both files nandroid.md5" and "system.ext3.tar are in the folder....
Thank you
You need newer CWM, backup format changed recently. I'm typing from a phone, can't give you more directions now.

Yeah, that might be the problem. Download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=787176&d=1321653982
Don't unzip it; just put it on the root of your SD card. Then boot into custom recovery, select Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard, and install it. That will update your recovery to the latest version.
I have an International version of Note 2 (N7100) rooted with CWM recovery 6.0.4.3 (touch) installed.
In order to analyze the wakelock problem (most of the time, the CPU is at 200Mhz rather than deep sleep when it is not used. Also "battery info" tells me the battery was mostly used by "Android OS"), I have to factory reset the device and flash to the stock 4.3 ROM. I monitored the newly setup phone for a day before I rooted it and install CWM recovery 6.0.4.3 for full system backup.
Happily used the phone for a week. After my son played with it for an afternoon, the wakelock problem comes back. Not sure what settings did he changed or apps he installed. So I go ahead backup the current rom and restore the phone from the previous backups.
Here was what I have done:
1. Boot into Clockworkmod recovery
2. Clear all partition / factory reset
3. Select Backup and restore.
4. Select the backup directory that I want to restore from (the one without wakelock problem)
5. Wait for the restoration process to finish
6. System reboots.
After system rebooted, it kept popping up "unfortunately com.google.process.gapps has stopped". The device was not usable, because the message will pop up again once I click OK to dismiss it. I then tried the following, but none of them works.
1. Restore from different backups
2. Enable "download service" from application manager. (It was not disabled)
3. Reset all apps settings from "Application manager" (menu)
Trying option 2 and 3 was a pain as the popup messages was blocking the screen, I have to be really quick to dismiss the message box and touch on the command.
BTW, the CWM recovery touch was installed from Odin, not from ROM manager. I experience the following problems:
1. Issue with "backup current ROM" command from "ROM manager". It cannot find /ex_sdcard when it goes to recovery.
2. It cannot find dalvik partition to wipe.
3. Backup to zip command does not work. It does backup the files and at the end it said the backup file is in /storage/sdcard/clockworkmod/image.zip. But I cannot find the zip file any where, including the external sd card.
Here is what I did to restore my phone to previous state with stock ROM:
1. Use Odin to flash the stock rom (samsung 4.3 for N7100), which will restore the stock recovery instead of the CWM recovery.
2. Reboot the device.
3. Use Odin to flash CWM recovery.
4. Reboot the device.
5. Go into recovery and restore only the /data partition.
6. Wipe /cache.
7. Reboot the device
8. Boot back to recovery and root the device.
Now I have the phone at my previous state.
Does it mean CWM recovery will not work with stock ROMs ? or I did something wrong.
Also, I still have not find out what was the cause for the wakelock problem in "Android OS". I have two backups where one has the problem and one does not. I have tried untar them and compare them with WinMerge, but there were a lots of files to go through.

I did not find the problem with restoration using CWM, but did find out what causes the wakelock: "Automatic call recorder Pro".
Disable the auto start function and battery drains is back to 1% per hour during standby.

I have to say, I did encounter the replication of the same exact problem. It kept popping up "unfortunately com.google.process.gapps has stopped". I was using the same CWM recovery 6.0.4.3 for my N7100 using stock android 4.3.
Try to do so many things but fail to get rid of the pop up. At the end, I ended up having to flash rom using Odin.
Anyway, I think, there's some bug with CWM recovery 6.0.4.3 that caused the error to happen. I managed to use TRWP 2.6.3.1 without any problem to restore after that.
Regards,
Had exactly same problem, i downgraded cwm from 6.0.4.6 to 6.0.4.4 by using odin
Than restore works fine no problems with services.

Now i see that i have entered the rooting world in it's darkest time
I had the exact same problem of yours with CWM 6.0.4.3 and and the exact same problem with titanium backup(when i restore APP DATA for almost all apps they crash and keep popping messages). so there was no restore feature for me for long time
BUT TB restoring of App data is fixed when i updated TB to latest version and the CWM nandroid after-restore problem is fixed when yesterday i upgraded to philz 6.46.3, the restored ROM works flawlessly.
Now I think(not sure) what was going on is related to something called "FIX Permissions" or in other words when we restore system + data things get messed up that each app can't find it's own DATA folder causing it to crash. CWM and titanium backup didn't use to fix that mess but now they do so these problems won't occur anymore.
