How to restore Nand Backup

I need help to restore my Htc Desire.
Problem is:
Wiped all and made factory Reset. Now i have nothing on my sd card and on my Desire.
The Desire only boots to the htc logo.
I have my backup of sdcard and i have also a nand backup.
Recovery Restore nand backup will not work because there is no nand backup(no files) on my sdcard.
How can i restore it with the pc? Will it work with the sdcard of my friend with my files of the Desire and than just restore with recovery mode?
Sorry for bad english. Im german.

Use a card reader on a PC to retore the contents of the SD Card (or just the Nandroid backup) and then do Nandroid restore.

Can i get via adb the nandroid folder to my sdcard of the desire?
To do this [HOW TO] Perform a Nandroid Restore via the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) (modaco homepage)
I tried to do this "adb push updates.zip /sdcard/updates.zip" to get a custom rom on the Desire but it wont work ad:not found.
Ok now it works i typed "updates.zip" but with "update.zip" it worked.

Phone is really messed up... need help!

I sort of started explaining my issue in the Skyraider Vanilla RC2 thread... but I didn't want to take over that thread for my own issues.
This is what happened-
I tried to install this update that was on the thread, I did a nandroid +ext back up before I did so. When I ran the update it said something about sense 3.1 update so I thought something was a bit wierd, when I turned on my phone, all my apps were rapidly force closing in front of the setup window so I rebooted my phone into recovery and did the nandroid restore. I cleared dalik cache as well, just to make sure things restored smoothly. My phone turned on, but was laggy and and the sd card was read only, it didnt show up when I attached it to my computer... I didn't have the original Vanilla RC2 file on my card, since I initially installed with rom manager, but then switched over to the amon ra recovery image so it was not there.
I rebooted into recovery again, and cleared dalik again, and cache, and then cleared the ext part of my sd card because I thought maybe there was an issue there... Now i turned on my phone my launcher is gone, some of the apps that came with vanilla in the first place are gone along with most of my other apps aside from appbrain for some reason. The phone is so laggy it is almost not even usable as a phone... What should I do?
Buy a new sd card? factory reset? I am totally at a loss..

this is what I would do... go back into recovery and do all wipes. then format the card to your desired partitions. toggle usb and redrop the rom you want back on there and run zip from sdcard. You will have a bone stock system again and have to load all the things you want on there, but at least you will have a normal running phone again. If you happened to have things you wanted to save from the sdcard then the nandroid backup you had saved , well you should have drug it off the sdcard to your computer first. Then after you have a setup with the same rom running that you had your nandroid originally made from should load fine when you reload the backup.
1 save that nandroid backup to your pc
2 wipe completely and reformat your card
3 load the rom zip on the card and run it
4 load the nandroid backup to your sdcard and run it
or do 1-3 and start from scratch... hope this helps

If do have a few backups saved to my computer, (from vanilla 2.5.2) but not the new one. (which is fine)
If I repartition the card, will it go back to being normal again? right now it is read only and will not show up on my computer at all so.. Also when you say wipe, do you mean wipe all data also?

yes wipe all the wipes they recovery you use offers then do a factory wipe THEN go into the format options and reformat your card. It wipes it all but you get a fresh start. then after you drag your rom back onto the sdcard and load it then do your nandroid Its possible your sdcard is hosed but not very likely

[Q] Can't mount SD card From Recovery ---> can't startup the phone

Goodmorning Sirs,
I have a strange problem...
My desire is happily runnig InsertCoin 1.0.8 with CM7 boot since months..
I am running also CWM recovery 3.0.2.8...
I'm giving a step by step description, in order to get you aware of possible upsets.
This morning I decide to install S2Ext program and strangely i found that
EXT partition was not recognized.. I reboot and have the same problem in S2E but everything was running fine... I was fearing that something gonna happen so I decide to have a nandroid backup to get clear that if something goes wrong I can restore all it back.
I successfully did a nandroid backup..
but..
after reboot I'm stuck at splash screen....
worried I went to recovery and I could not mount the sd card..
so no nandroid restore and nothing no sd no boot (A2SD+)..
Either usb mount is not working..
I verified that FAT32 partiotion on sdcard could be read from my laptop..
WHAT CAN I DO?
It's a recovery problem?

Sounds like the ext partition has become corrupted, so nandroid/cwm won't be able to write to it properly.
Stick the card in a PC reader, then run gparted on it - recreate/format the ext partition at the end (without formatting the FAT), then stick it back in phone.
Nandroid should then be able to restore backed up .img to it.

Easily fixed.

[Q] Won't restore Nandroid, and Bootlooping....

So I tried flashing a ROM through CWM 5 touch, and it began bootlooping, so I went to restore my backup but now it has moved all files on the sdcard and external sdcard, into a new folder "0" so now CWM won't restore the backup.
Help?

[Q] Looping after CWM restore: com.google.process.gapps has stopped, Sprint GSIII

I did a Clockworkmod backup (and also a titanium paid version backup) on my towel rooted Sprint GS 3, kitkat 4.4.2. I renamed the backup, using CWM's option to do so.
I then did a factory reset using the msl number (as directed by my carriers tech support because I was getting duplicate text messages).
I then discovered that my titanium backups were apparently not on my external sd card, but were in the internal storage.
Titanium also cannot appears to be somehow locked out of the sd card.
And oddly, when I installed the Waze app, all I get now is a black screen.
I then attempted to restore the phone using CWM (first time doing this)
When I attempted the restore, CWM did not find the backup on the SD card. I found the backup by going into "advanced" options and found it there in a directory called "SD1"
After restore of system and then restore of data,
The phone went into a loop, showing the message, " com.google.process.gapps has stopped."
Pressing "ok", just brings the message back over and over.
I tried wiping the Dalvik cache, and I tried booting into safe mode - no change.
I am supposed to do something different to get a Clockworkmod restore? I thought it would bring the phone back to it's exact state at the time of the backup using an image stored on the SD card.
And now I can't get at my Titanium backups unless I first get the CWM restore working so I get access since the titanium backup was, I believe, put in internal storage... (guess I need a separate thread about how to get titanium working... I can't get backup directory access with titanium after the factory reset)
How do I get CWM to do a restore from the image on my SD card?
Thanks for your thoughts and any help!
