Can't perform a nandroid restore - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I want to run a nandroid restore with my leedroid backup, but I'm getting:
Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh' via adb!
I remember I had this problem before but I forgot how I fixed it.
Edit: the system.img md5 is corrupted, any way to fix it? Or the backup is done for?

Guess that backup is done for if it something to do with md5. Md5 is a pain if it messes up. It messes up for me so I don't bother really. You can try searching for md5 fixes but I seriously doubt it.

Did you have enough battery? Nandroids don't work if its below a certain percentage of battery.
I recall having that error as well, then I plugged my phone in for a few minutes before I was able to restore my nandroid.

Nandroid restore MD5 mismatch?

I have clockwork recovery on my phone and im trying to restore a backup I have and it keeps saying MD5 mismatch. I have searched but havent got any luck, could someone please help me with this problem.
it means the checksum that it does on the backed up info to verify the file is not corrupt, and hasnt been changed, doesnt match what was originally stored.
May have a corrupt backup. Do you Overclock your phone? if so, try undoing the overclock termporarily and see if it restores that way.. if so, you OC'd too much..
Otherwise, may be sol.

[Q] Nandroid recovery error.

Hello all, I have recently had problems restoring my nandroid backups.
I think it's because of Clockwork, but I'm not sure.
I get this message after checking for MD5 sums..
error while flashing boot image! /tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/cloclworkmod/recovery.log please open ROM manager to report the issue.
Any ideas on how I can use my nandroid back ups? I want to go back to FreshEvo for a while.
Were you using clockwork when you created the backups? I've had problems when I've made a backup under one recovery, then updated the recovery, then couldnt get my backups to work.
For some backups yes, but not the one I'm trying to go back to.
I tried restoring with nandroid and clockwork and both give me the same error.
I am using amon-ra so this might not help you.
I was not able to restore even after turning off the phone. After several tries I removed the battery and I was able to restore. Just turning it off did not do the trick. Really odd.

[Q] Problem with Nandroid

Hello I really need some help.
I have been a little skeptical about nandroid backups so I decided to try and make a backup and restore from it immediatly after. The restoring went well until I booted the phone and all hell broke loose (sorry for drama). Most apps kept FCing and then the phone started rebooting.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
I tried doing a restore from nandroid before but it complained about md5 something so that's why I decided to test now if it would give the same error. But I just got a worse problem from it.
did you do a full wipe before restoring? also did you have enough room on your sd card? if you run out of space recovery dosent tell you... just finishes the backup.
It can also be caused by bad blocks in your SD, have you had any SD issues before, SD unmounting by itself etc?
No I did not do a full wipe before, I didn't know that it was needed. It actually sounds logical that you need a full wipe that was stupid of me.
The SD card is fine haven't had any issues with it. I will try again with full wipe.
If you get an md5 mismatch error is that backup completely unusable?

Are you using the same version of CWM? I have read problems with later versions of CWM. And md5 mismatch would certainly cause problems as far as i know...

[Q] [Help] Nandroid Fail

This isn't like some of the other nandroid fail threads i've encountered.
I had a full nandroid backup of my tmobile g2 (eng hboot) and I lost that device. I got an exact replacement, rooted it (no eng hboot), installed rom manager only and flashed clockwork. I then copied my nandroid backup to the clockwork/backups directory and did a restore.
The phone booted successfully with cyanogen 7 nightly 22 flashed but the only problem is that it seems to have done a fresh install...as in there are no apps, no data, just cyanogen 7 nightly 22. It appears it didn't restore anything except the rom itself. Any ideas? thanks in advance.
ps. ive done multiple data wipes, and tried 2 different nandroid backup files on the new phone.
Did you have darktremors a2sd installed on the old ROM? CWM3 seems to have an issue for some with seeing the sd-ext partition and won't back it up. So when you select 'restore' in CWM it *successfully* completes the nandroid restore correct, no errors? It would be odd for it to give you a 'restore complete' message if it ran into any errors.
pretty sure I don't have a2sd installed on the old rom. first time i'm hearing of it. I don't recall getting any errors after restoring the backup but I will try again and double check. I also have much older backups that I can try to restore and see if those go through
Well I think this needs more attention if it's really not restoring the nandroids fully. Seems like it's restoring the system.img and whatnot just not the data.img. Maybe try it with ADB and see if it works. I've never had to do it that way but I know it can be done, you may have to run it in a shell.
I tried restoring a nandroid backup from February, which I believe was backed up with an older version of clockwork, and it was completely successful. This tells me that either the new clockwork is not backing up correctly or it's getting corrupted.
I then tried restoring 3 different backups and they did not give me any errors but failed to restore my data. hmmm

[Q] Md5 Mismatch

Hey guys, I'm having a problem restoring my stock Touchwiz backup. Every time I try to restore it I get the md5 mismatch error. I'm using CWM recovery 6.0.4.5 from this thread. All my other backups work just fine. Now I did move my backup from my phone to my computer to save room on my SD card and moved it back when I wanted to restore it. I wonder if this could have changed the md5? Also the backup's name has no spaces, wish it was that simple to fix lol. I've seen a couple other threads to fix the md5 mismatch issue but wanted to see if someone who's experienced this could point me into the right direction. Thank you.
