Error: no backups found
Oops... something went wrong!
Please check the recovery log!
Just don't switch the important nandroid backups from different EVOs, ie replacement EVO
I'm guessing you took a big chunk of nandroid backup and removed it from your old phone to your new replacement phone, Am I right?
If your rooted with S-OFF, try to go into USB-MS toggle that, put up Myn's new rom RLS5 or something, and it should work nicely if you have the right time to do it.
i found out how to get it to work....i did another nandroid backup...nd wen i mounted my sdcard and went to the nandroid folder ...i seen 2 folders ...one with the new back up...and another with the old....i put the old one in the new folder and restored it without a problem

While trying to restore the last several nandroid backups on my EVO I get the error
Error: run ' nandroid-mobile.sh restore ' via adb!
using RA recovery
I didnt get any errors doing the backup...and I never had this problem in the past...as far as I know I am not doing anything different making backups than I have in the past.
Edit:
Im able to restore without errors from clockwork mod...and its a backup I made right after I made the AR backup....
Found out the answer...my sd card is full! LOL! Its been one of those days!
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

i get this error most of the time with ra as well, but my memory card is nowhere near full (6gb or so left.) the other day i backed up my cm6.1, flashed warm rls3, forgot something so backed up rls3 and restored cm fine, but then i couldnt restore the rls3 backup i made. i wiped everything and still couldnt restore, and then couldnt restore the cm backup i had just restored 15 minutes earlier. ive been getting this error almost any time i try and restore a backup for a few months now, any ideas?
I've seen a low battery cause this error. If you run via adb, as suggested, you'll see the error displayed.
hey guys.
i've gone through a lot of searching and still no solution. PLEASE READ THIS SO YOU DONT RECOMMEND SOMETHING I ALREADY TRIED!
i tried to restore a nand backup from yesterday and i'm getting "run nandroid-mobile.sh restore from adb!"
battery is fully charged. sd card is there and all the files are there. i already fixed the md5sum and still get the same issue.
it seems it's not a problem with the backup itself because i can't backup or restore, or even use the ms-usb toggle. for every command i get the error to do it in adb?
i only had that one backup and i really dont want to start from scratch! nothing has happened to have corrupted the backup, so i'm strongly holding to the view that its not corrupted, something else happened.
everything was working fine. i tried changing a file in framework-res.apk, that put me into a bootloop. so i wiped data/cache/dalvik like always and went to restore and bam...error...
any ideas guys? need to fix this ASAP.
EDIT: i just reflashed amonra recovery to make sure it wasnt messed. was able to make a backup (of what i dont know, phone is wiped) and restore it....ms-usb toggle worked now....but still get the .sh error when trying to restore my backup. damn!
EDIT 2: got it working. after reflashing amonra i was able to do a backup (of the empty phone)...i had changed the name of the folder for my backup (no spaces though) and it looks like this was throwing amonra off. i renamed the folder to match the structure of the backup i had just made and was able to restore!
thanks me!
hi, i used clockworkmod for a while now backed-up, but never really tried to restore from those back-ups....
i just tried to restore a nandroid backup, i went on the PC and re-named backup as something i`d remember put it back on the Desire, and nandroid just fails instantly at `MD5 mismatch`
could this be because the folder name changes after the backup has been made??, thanks.
also i thought i was being thorough by doing a wipe, from nandroid 1st.
Luckily I went advanced `restore sys only`, this went back to basic stock, logged into myy acc on market, downloaded My Backup PRO, restored the apps/dATA i did with that app.
restarted phone, all is good
whats up with md5 missmatch ?
cheers
Don't move the file around next time. Probably induced an error.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
not sure if its moving the file around so much, as the characters in the filename itself
i did a quick backup this morning, left the filename alone,restored it fine.
booted phone, went into Rom manager and renamed the original back-ups with that instead of PC, they now restore ok.
what i did notice though was when renaming from Rom manager it automaticly replaces spaces with _ seems a bit sensitve to certain characters.
must be filenames (or _+ - spaces etc)the are accepted ok on windows creates, arent freindly when nandriod comes to read them?
First off I'm at the final stage before I introduce a 'software error' onto this phone and return it to a sprint shop for a replacement.
I have a broken nandroid backup, that DID however backup my wimax partition.
Now, my wimax RSA keys got nuked somehow and I figure if there's a way for me to restore JUST the wimax.img file, I might be in with a chance of having a workable evo again.
The thing is, I can only find guides for restoring a full nandroid backup, and nothing for restoring wimax individually.
Would anyone be able to help?
Thanks.
welp, i answered my own question.
I just copied the nandroid backup .img to wimax.img in my root directory and everything works fine now
Remember boys and girls - BACKUP FIRST. Thank-me
I might be wrong, but you should be able to make a new backup, and just copy the WiMax partition over. If your keys got nuked though, it might throw off the checksum of the backup, which I don't know how to change. And again, thats mostly theory, I'm no Dev.
Do a new nandroid backup, reboot, brows your SD card for nandroid, then there will be another folder, and inside that one will be the different backups. Open up the one with the working wimax partition, copy it, and put it in the nandroid you want to recover.
I would be sure to do yet another nandroid backup, just in case you mess something up.
Edit: Slow typing ftl, looks like you got it!
hello. so i did a nandroid backup of my rooted el29 gingerbread + cwm epic 4g phone a week ago. it created a folder on my external sd card (sdcard/external sd/sdc2012-06-2012 folder) ive also continously made titanium backups of the apps + sys data. so i let a friend uninstall a system app(id bloatware) just to prove it could be uninstalled but dont like that i get error messages now sometimes when accessing email, etc. i tried a titanium backup but it hangs for 5min. now im trying a nandroid restore in cwm v5.0.2.7. where is a good guide for this? i went to restore but it keeps saying "error opening directory. No files found." i dunno what directory its searching but clearly not the correct one as i verified almost 700MB of data on external sd card. ive wiped data, cache so it only boots to "samsung logo screen." i also have a backup nandroid on my server so how to i get it to actually restore?
06-12-2012 update: crisis averted. i remember doing advanced backup w/ cwm recovery originally so i just did regular backup. it created a directory cwm/backup/new folder. i put the files from original advanced backup over to correct location and restore did it!! this is just like the acronis images i do for my pc's. what a wonderful thing!!
