I've made two backups on ClockworkMod, yet EVERY time I try to reinstall data, it restarts midway, and when I start my phone up the bootanimation becomes an flashing android logo, what am I doing wrong? Please help!

Hmm..that's a strange problem.
Did you try to reinstall the CWM??
Edit: I pushed the Thanks Button unfortunately -.-
Every little helps
And I've tried, no such luck, so I'll try an older version and see what happens
EDIT: There's a thanks back!
Okay I've tried a different recovery, no luck
What have I done wrong? I seem unable to make any recovery.
I think the problem may have originated when I installed CWM 3.0.0.5, everything was fine before that
This is just a long shot, but have you tried checking your SD card for errors from your PC? The backup file could be corrupted, and that might fix it.
It would probably be a good idea to copy the /clockworkmod/backup folder from your SD card to your PC before you run the check. If it doesn't help or makes matters worse, you can copy it back.
Also, which version of CWM did you use to make the backup?

I used 2.5.1.3 in both cases, went down to 2.5.1.2 to see if it was linked to the recovery itself, it wasn't

If you look in the /clockworkmod/backups folder on your card, in the folder for the relevant backups, what size is the data.img file? Have you got any earlier working backups you can compare it to? I'm wondering if the backup failed part way through.
I take it you're trying to restore data only using Advanced Restore?
I can't think what else could cause it apart from a damaged sd card or corrupt file, but I'm not a CWM expert.

I have looked at the backup is around 1.11GB which is the expected file size, the data.img being around 730mb, it's done this twice, and I've always checked that I've had plenty of space before attempting nandroid, and nothing's ever happened to the sd, i've never moved it or anything

I'm not sure what else to suggest besides checking the sd card for errors. There have been some bugs with the HTC 1.72 stock ROM, which affect all custom ROMs based on it, that occasionally cause sd card errors. This is most likely to happen if you connect to your PC with a USB cable, mount the SD card as a drive in your PC, and disconnect the cable without using "eject" in Windows. It might happen at other times as well, I'm not certain.
This is usually fixed by checking the card for errors through your PC. Some people recommend defrag'ing the card, but I think a check for errors should be all that's needed. I'd copy all contents of the card to a folder on your PC first, just so you have a backup.
Otherwise I've run out of ideas, sorry. Hope you get it working.
What I'll do is transfer my backup to my brother's SD card, and then attempting a nandroid then, if that doesn't work then I don't know what will, but I'm 99% sure it's probably due to a problem on my SD card.

You didn't say whether you tried checking the card for errors from your PC, did you try that yet?
CWM created an MD5 checksum for the backup, so it's not very probable r/w errors are the cause of the problem. If the data was corrupted CWM would notice before attempting to restore the data.
But if in doubt you can verify the checksums manually. In the backup directory there's a file called nandroid.md5 it's a text file that contains the hashes for each backup file. Compare those values to the actual checksums. If you need a tool use Hash My Files.
CWM 3 backups aren't backward compatible with CWM 2? Then you could try restoring with CWM 2 and see if that works. Then you'd at least know if it's you phone or a software problem.
This may sound silly but did you upgrade clockwork to 3.0.0.6?

I tried upgrading to see if it would solve the issue, it didn't.
And as for md5 checksums, it all checks out fine, everything starts to restore fine, and on two of the latest occasions it will not fully restore data, but will restart CWM between restoring. I really don't know what the cause is :/

So i tried to update my PRI but it didnt work... and in the process all my data was deleted. But i had made a nand backup so i thought i was fine. the only problem is now i get an error when i restore saying i should type in nandroid-mobile.sh in adb. i do not know how to use adb too well so can someone explain how i can get my nand backup back, because i didnt backup with my backup pro and even if i did some of my dta wouldnt be restored correctly, so please someone help me figure how to restore my nand???
Charge your battery.
Your battery is too low. Once the charge is greater than 30% it will work again.
EDIT: Just saw that someone beat me to the answer. That's what I get for getting distracted

Have you changed out your SD card or renamed your backups?
My answer from another thread. Sorry, not allowed to post links yet.
It took me days and days researching this...lol. I found three possible issues...the first, and most common, is renaming your backups. Apparently that screws it all up, so don't rename them. Second, your battery is too low...it has to be at least 40%. I never renamed and I was fully charged - but still got the error, and when I tried to restore via adb I got an sd card error. In MY case, I had gotten a new 16gb sdcard and it wasn't formatted or partitioned properly...I had to copy everything off if it onto a folder on my PC, format it (FAT32) via PC, put it back into the Evo, reboot into Amon Ra recovery via Rom Manager, select "partition sd card" - let that work- then select SD:ext2 to ext3...wait till that was done, reboot. Then I mounted as disk drive to the PC, copied everything back to the sd card, and viola...it finally worked. I don't know why it did it, I had 2 of the exact sd cards...brand, class, etc. Hopefully that works for you!
You CAN rename your backups. You CAN'T use spaces when u rename your backup. Boot your phone and go to you nandroid folder and if u used spaces, replace them with underscores. I learned the hard way. Good thing is, its an easy fix if it is the cause of your error.

I am running current version of Bonsai 3.0.1 Yesterday, my phone dropped and the battery fell out. When I tried to reboot the phone, there were many Force Closes. I tried fixing permissions twice but it was still having FC issues, so I figured I'd restore the data. Well, I hadn't backed up in several days, so I did a Nandroid backup before I went to restore. I kind of figured that restoring the phone from a backup of bad data wouldn't work and it didn't. Restoration from that backup causes a endless reboot. Sooooo, I restored from a backup which was several days old and it worked fine. But, my data is old for one particular app.
So my question is this: Can I extract data for one particular app and restore it from a Nandroid backup?
Or is it possible to restore the apps only from the Nandroid backup?
If I choose "Restore Data" from the Nandroid backup, I go into an endless reboot loop.
Restoring the "System" will bring the phone back to working, but the data is old.
Yeah, Yeah, I have Titanium and could have accomplished this easily with it, but I hadn't been backing up there either.
I know I'm probably screwed, but if anyone has any suggestions about how to get my data back (for one app or all), I'd sure appreciate it.

I think there is a way. Someone else had a similiar problem and wanted to get their text message data out. It is in the thread below where 00dwan talks about unyaffs and data files. Seems a bit complicated but if the data is that important you will need to be able to identify the data file for that app.

Thank you Thank you Thank you. Works great!
I'm having trouble putting the file where it needs to be (I'll figure it out), but I am able to get the information I need from the data file even if I can't get the file where it goes.
It is kinda weird. I put the file on my SD card and then put it into the phone. I copy the file to the clipboard and then go to the directory I need to place the file in. I select paste and it seems to paste the file, but nothing changes. I think it was because I hadn't mounted the system/data as RW. But the strange thing is that when I copy the file to the clipboard from the SD card, the file DISAPPEARS as if I cut it instead of copied it. Anyway, I'll figure it out.
Thanks again for the tip!

Glad it helped. Definitely sounds like it wasn't mounted r/w. Wierd that it disappears from card on a copy operation. Root Explorer is good for this.
So it all started with this MD5 mismatch. I tried everything I can think of, including doing it manually using CMD, and I cant restore any of my backups, it continually gives me MD5 Mismatch. After I was pissed about that for awhile, I tried to flash a new rom and start over because I at least used Titanium BU to save my apps, but I couldn't flash either. After attempting it, it says (bad). Could it be the SD? If anyone could help with these issues I appreciate it.

So when you try to flash a new rom all together it just gives you an error that says 'bad'? What recovery are you using? And yes, it is possible that your sd card is corrupted. You could copy everything on it to your computer, format the card, and then try flashing a fresh rom, and see if it works then.
Edit: Also, if you've improperly named your nandroid backups, it will give you the MD5 mismatch error.
So I copied and pasted the card to a desktop folder. Then when i double clicked on some things to see it they actually copied it says "Please insert the last disk of the Multi-Volume set and click ok to continue" What does this mean? Does this tie in with why Im getting an MD5 mismatch and not flashing roms?

Not sure why it would say that. Are you sure everything copied correctly? Are you able to access any of the contents of your sd card, from the copy you made on your computer?
Did you try to rename the backups (For organization purposes) before using them?
If so, the new names can-not contain spaces...
Example:
renaming to "Myn's Rom Fri April 15th" won't work
it'd have to be "Myns_rom_Fri_April_15th"

Nandroids are saved as .iso (disc burn images) which your phone can run like a virtual disc to reflash backed up files. Windows see's these files as images to be burned to a disc.

Could you elaborate a bit on what you meant by "I tried extracting from the original zips of the ROMS and that didn't work either." I don't follow what you did there. It is entirely possible that the backup that you are trying to restore is simply corrupted. Are you able to have success with flashing any other roms? The way that you stated you went about formatting your card has me a bit concerned that if you had a corrupt file somewhere on the card before you formatted it, that it'd still be there, because you said that you copied everything back to the card right after formatting it. Or did you just copy what you needed, and I misinterpreted?
Had you ever had success restoring a backup prior to this? Is it just this time that you've had trouble?
Hi
this is my first post, apologies if I'm going about things the wrong way. I've searched the forum and Google for the problem I'm experiencing but the hits I get back are for specific error and processes. My problem is this:
Flashing to Aurora or Runnymede results in my phone throwing up "the process android com.process.xxxx has stopped unexpectedly, please try again", they vary with HTC and Google errors. I get a lot of these errors (phone, camera, media etc) and then a blank HTC whitescreen. I get signal, however if I unlock my screen the errors pop up - I cannot do anything on my phone at all.
My device is S-OFF. I've successfully flashed MIUI and Cyanogenmod many times without error, and they work without a hitch. I've a feeling that with these Sense roms I'm missing some pre-installation procedure of which I simply cannot find what. What do i need to do to get either of these ROMS working?
Thanks for the help!
Edit: I have installed an app that moved certain items to the SD card that were taking up space on the internal memory. Not sure if this has anything to do with it?

It probably is your problem. The roms you tried has some kind of apps2sd implementation already check the rom thread. Technically you don't have to use any app that move your apps to SD.
I will try that out tomorrow when I have some time.
NOw that I've restored my miui backup, I have noticed that same error pops up when the phone loads and I have to run the App, then the errors disappear. I'll post back tomorrow with my efforts!
Out of curiosity, what's the name of that app you are using to move apps to sd?
Root All to Data2SD (cant post links). I'm finding it difficult to move all the items back to the internal memory.
Just from the description of the app, it seems that it will screw up the set up.
Start fresh. Backup all your apps using Titanium Backup. Copy and save all the contents of your sd to a computer. I suggest you zip the titanium backup folder on your sd before transferring it to your computer, I often get errors about the filenames inside the folder being too long with Windows7 if they are unzipped.
Repartition your sd card with fat32 and ext4 or ext3 (depending on the rom requirement)
Put your files back to the SD card and unzip the titanium backup folder as well.
Flash the rom and restore your apps using titanium backup. Do the app restore by batches. The apps should be moved to the ext partition automatically. Check the rom thread for details on the apps2sd implementation they used. Some require to flash another zip after the initial boot. Just check the thread.

Pretty sure I did, which is why this is baffling me. I would've thought that flashing a new rom would replace all pre-existing required applications
To confirm, in Recovery its Wipe Data/Factory Reset?
Performing a full wipe before flashing has worked! I can get into these ROMs now finally! Thanks for the help!
I feel like an idiot
Nice.
I had the same issues many months back. I was going from LeeDROiD Froyo ROM to InsertCoin GB. No matter how many times I flashed, I got same results as you. Then someone aksed "did you full wipe"?
After that, no more problems!!
I know there is a ton on sdcard/0 problems or questions, but I can't find anything on my problem. When i try to delete anything on sdcard/0/whatever it says delete failed. I will try to delete a mp3 and it won't delete . Also not sure if this is normal,but my twrp and superuser are in the /0 folder too. I know it's for multiusers, but I should be able to delete certain files out of it. I can out of twrp but not anything else. Any ideas?

Well, if you have a nandroid of a tw Rom, you can restore that, then wipe your internal sd. And, if you restore a nandroid instead of flashing stock it shouldn't bork your gps. Just make sure to pull everything off your internal sd that you want to keep.
