I do a nandroid backup... the whole process finishes.. Then I go to restore to it.. And it brings me back to a FRESH install of whatever Rom I backed up. It's done this to me now with Baked Snack and CM6
What recovery are you using? Just curious.

I've never used Clockwork so I'm afraid I can't really give you much insight. I might suggest taking 15 min and installing one of the AmonRA recoverys. I've used them since I had a MT3G and they seem to be pretty flawless. As long as you store your backups on your SD card you shouldnt really be at risk of losing anything. Does Clockwork allow you to make and store multiple backups?
Clockwork works just fine for me. I'm not sure what your problem might be.
i use Amon Ra and i have been having the same issue lately, kinda...when i go to restore a nand backup it gives me an error message saying to push it adb style or sumthing along those lines...very frustrating ...kinda lost too for me...any one have any ideas what the problem is ? using FrEakEfroyo v2 with king#6

Have you, by any chance, renamed your backups? If you have, you CAN'T have any spaces in the name. If you named it the full version of what you're running it would have to be FrEakEfroyo_v2_with_king#6

Your problem most likely is that your battery is too low. Happened to me several times usually if the battery is below 30% or there abouts. Plug your phone in, juice it up and try with at least 50 % battery, should work.
Or, I've heard it can happen if you renamed your backups. I never rename my backups because I've heard it can cause issues like this, so I can't tell you for sure if that's the problem.
I'm guessing battery.
This is really getting frustrating. I did a nandroid backup last night of my Baked Snack install. I then wiped and installed CM6. 5 minutes later I had a problem and restored Baked Snack. And it went right back to a fresh install of Baked Snack. I then flashed AmonRA. Installed CM6. Setup CM6 how I wanted it. Did a nandroid backup in AmonRA. Then wiped and restored it. And I was right back to a fresh install again.

So I try a different Rom about every 2 weeks. All of a sudden ,last week I tried one of the liquid acer roms. Afterwards I went to restore a backup and shortly after starting ,I got an error sayin use adb to restore. Tried an earlier backup and it works but titanium backup only restores some of my apps and the market doesn't work. If I hit ok,install in market it does nothing. So I wipe everything and try a fresh install ( tried virus ,azreal, ava) azreal 3 has been my daily. And still same problem with market but now titanium won't restore any apps. It just sits there with the progress pop up on screen but doesn't do anything. Only recent changes. Updated pri to 1.90 ,reverted to 1.77 to try that. And using amon ra 1.80 ,tried goin to ra 2.1 but still no dice. Has sumpin on my SD card got corrupted or what
Try formatting your sd card.
Swyped From Eva Running Myn's RLS4.95 or My Rom!
I had recently done that bout thanksgiving but I'll try it again. Thanks
I get the same error with aman ra wanting my to restore nand from adb. It started sometime around the 3.70 upgrade which was when I upgraded PRI to 1.90. I switched back to clockwork 2.6.0.1 but haven't tried to restore a backup yet.
i think when amon ra tells you to nand from adb that means that you dont have enough battery power to do the recovery. i think the battery should ne at like 30 %
Got a question i see everyone write borked wtf is that??

I've been playing with CM7, and of course did a nandroid incase I didn't like it. My backup of my apps got screwed and went to nandroid back, and it's hanging on md5 check. Not sure why, but when I reflashed CWM 2.5.0.5 it works fine as intended. Just want to warn people if they are having problems restoring in 2.5.1.2, use unrevoked and go back to 2.5.0.5 and restore that way.

Out of curiosity did you use ROM Manager to do the initial nandroid? I've seen similar behavior on mine and have given up using RM, instead rebooting to recovery and doing the nandroid from there, and then using recovery to install the new ROM's from SD (and also for subsequent nandroid back) No issues with 2.5.1.2 using it in that fashion. I have the paid version of RM too.

I did use rom manager. But the thing is, the nandroid was made with 2.5.1.2, which is what is odd......
And I have a AMOLED.
I had the same experience earlier...scared the sh*t out of me. If you are just patient it should eventually make it past the md5 and keep going.

Naa. mine makes it past the MD5 and restores just fine, just boot loops once it does. I just accept the fact that I can't do a backup from RM when downloading and installing a ROM , whereby doing it all within recovery works fine. Just another step - no big deal.
It just doesn't make sense to me. Why should backing up through Rom Manager make a difference? I could see if I was trying to restore from RM (which did work just fine on 2.5.0.5 btw). Since going back to 2.5.0.5 I've done two restores and now it's working just fine. CM7 was actually more stable and snappy than my sense rom, but there's a few apps that just aren't supported yet in GB. Finding alternatives is a easy fix usually, but haven't found anything yet for one of them. All in All, I was quite happy with CM7, just the lack of a widget for my Widget Locker (small calendar widget) and then m:IQ isn't working on GB apparently (if I got something to manually backup call log / sms I'd be fine. I'm sure there's something out there that will do it). 2.5.1.2 just doesn't do what I need it to do, luckily we have choices! I'll just stick to 2.5.0.5 for my rom flashing pleasures =]
Hey guys!
I made the mistake of trying to run an animation I downloaded on my phone while running Go Launcher. It of course, didn't work. I went ahead, wiped the data and then went to restore and tried to restore my nandroid and it told me:
Oops! Something went wrong!
I reflashed CM7 and did it all over again. My question is, what could have "gone wrong?"
Why did this happen? I'm using Amon Ra. If anyone could help me, that would be AWESOME! Thanks in advance guys!
Md5 sum mismatch, or corrupt IMG, bad block write, many choices, there is recovery log you can view if you move log to sdcard and repeat the error

Make sure you have a fully charged battery when restoring your nandroid. I think if it's below 50%, you'll get the error. It's happened to me and after I put a fresh battery in, the restore went through without a hitch. I use Amom RA 2.2.1.

Yeah, I had my apps backed up with titanium backup so I flashed cm7 on my phone again and brought my apps back. At the end, it was good this happened. The apps I said "I'll recover with titanium backup later" were the apps I didn't use but didn't delete because I thought I'd use then again. Now I realize I don't really care for them so now I have more internal space, hahaha!

Hey guys,
I have scoured the forums and the web for answers, but have found none. I have everything normally displayed on ClockWorkMod EXCEPT the "nandroid" option. Can anyone shed some light on this?! I have been loyally updating ClockWorkMod but each comes with no "nandroid" option!
I am currently running MIUI 1.9.2 with a Savaged-Zen kernel along with vipermod and Supercharger V6. There is a thread similar to this, only it is in the "Vibrant General" forum and it ends abruptly. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901818
It's not called nandroid. You just go into the recovery and select up backup/restore and then backup.
That's what I've been doing for, like, forever, but was nandroid discontinued or something?
It's still a nandroid backup, it's just not called that in the menu.
Backup - Nandroid
Started out with that backup, but quickly moved to Armon-RA, I have had no issues and all the features work without issue. Most all rom’s that are posted have users that are using the Clockwork, a standard recommendation is to move to Armon-RA. Might be a little pain in the neck to switch, but I don’t think you would want to go back.

It's still a nandroid back up, whether it's clockwork or Amon Ra recovery.
The backups are in a folder called clockworkmod on the sd card.
Thanks for all your answers!
Sorry, avwheeler but I am not switching to Amon Ra.
If your using rom mansger you can backup from there, they don't call it a nandroid but it is. Btw, amon_ra is a much better recovery.in terms of features and stability!

I had that problem at first but I had a space in my back up file after I renamed it I took out the space and all was good. check to see if you added spaces if you renamed your fil.

I've never personally had issue with Clockwork but I've heard rumors about it [at least a year ago] having issues clearing dalvik cache.
However, I continue to use Amon RA because I like the look/layout better.

Try backing up contents of sd card onto computer. Then format aka erase sd card using phone and then copy contents from computer back to sd card. I had same problem and that is what worked for me.
As the title says I can't restore from backups I just made. I get an oops.....something went wrong. Please check recovery.log, but when I try to move rrecovery.log to sd it gets an error too.
It's not renamed anything with spaces or weird characters.
I flashed cwm and uses that to restore the nandroid I made, but it didn't restore properly and half the apps didn't restore. This has been an issue for a very long time. Accross 2 ssd cards.
Any help is appreciated.

When you backed up and restored did you check the sd ext option. If your rom is utilizing a2sd that's where your apps would be if you are partitioned.

If you aren't using sd-ext, are having this problem with two different SD cards and can't copy the recover.log to your SD card, three things come to mind that could be the problem:
1) Your amon-ra recovery is corrupt somehow and you need to reflash Amon-ra
2) The SD you used when you made the backups was bad or somehow when you made the backups they got corrupted for some reason.
3) The flash memory on your phone (the internal storage) is somehow going/gone and can no longer be read/written correctly. (This wouldn't explain why you can't copy the log file, though).
The first would be relatively easy to check, but if you made the nandroids with a corrupt version of Amon-ra they still might not restore right even if you reflash Amon-ra.
For checking number 2 you could go into your Nandroid directory and try manually extracting the files to see if they are corrupt or not.
If it is the third problem, I guess you would need to RMA/exchange your phone-- not sure how you would actually check for this problem but I guess if you can flash a clean/new ROM and it works fine it probably isn't this.
Good luck!

So is this an issue with the Rezound or the Evo?
If it's with the Rezound then there may be some people with that phone that know more than we know, and therefore may be able to help. If it's with the Evo, then I am not quite sure why this information is relevant.
