[Q] Cannot Get Past ClockworkMod Recovery

I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having with my Epic 4G...
Problem:
I am in a bit of a pickle at the moment as everytime I reboot my phone it goes directly to ClockWorkMod (CWM). I was previously on Syndicate Frozen ROM (SFR) 1.0.2 with CWM 3.0.0.x (orange) and attempting to upgrade to SFR 1.2.
Background:
I booted into CWM and made a back up, then loaded SFR 1.2. I got a bunch of FCs, so I reverted back to my back up. I then upgraded to CWM 3.1 (purple) and tried to flash to SFR 1.2 again. This worked, but none of my data was saved.
I decided that I would restore my backup, save my data another way and then re-import it once I had reloaded SFR 1.2. Unfortunately, it looks like trying to load a CWM Orange backup in CWM Purple will result in a failed MD5 checksum.
I reloaded CWM Orange and tried to load my backup and I still get a checksum error. At this point I don't know what else to try.
Anyone have any ideas/sugestions?

Odin back to stock EC05 and try it again from the beginning; that's what I did when I had this issue.
You will loose any apps not on an SD card i believe.

Yep. I had a buddy who is familiar with flashing come by and that is exactly what he did. What a waste of an afternoon! :\
I kept getting the error message: "Error while flashing boot image" until I reinstalled CWM 3.0.0.5. Only then was I able to restore my backup.
Just out of curiosity: if I now upgrade to CWM Purple and then back up will I be able to backup and restore my current version?

I believe nandroid backups from 3.0.0.5/6 will not work with 3.0.2.5 but 3.0.2.5 nandroids will restore on purple 3.1.0.1. It is best to do a clean install. There are framework changes on 1.2 including the 6 lock mod baked in so restoring data will most likely corrupt your ROM. Best bet is to flash 1.2, then a kernel then install all apps fresh. I use Appbak app to store a list of all installed apps. Then I can fire down the list and install them fresh.

Flashing back..using flash tool I assume right? If it was ft then you flashed the wrong ftf file. It's pretty common. Double and triple check it's the correct file before attempting to flash

I tried the .42 version,any idea if it's right or wrong?

[Q] Need help restoring from default JB backup

Well, hi there. It seems I'm stuck trying to restore app data from a backup created with Galaxy Nexus toolkit. I believe it uses "default" JB backup method, described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351
Well, how it all went. I made app backup using the Toolkit, all data boiling down to a 2.8 Gb .bak file
I unlocked and rooted my phone (after more than a year on stock ICS and JB), installed recovery, flashed last nightly build of CM 10 (I've had some good experience with earlier iteratons previously). After that I tried to resotre from the said backup, using the toolkit. I've got the dialog window all rigth, confirmed restoration etc. After that CM boot animation appeared on the screen for a minute or so and than an error message stating that Settings app has terminated unexpectedly. No app data restored. I tried that a couple of times more with same result.
What is a problem here? Can I restore something from that .bak file and how? Should I save the image of my current CM ROM, flash stock JB and try restoring with it?

[Q] cannot restore to stock touchwiz

Hey folks,
I recently rooted my note 2 gt n7100 and flashed dr ketans 4.3 rom onto it.
I made a backup using cwm beforehand and I am trying to restore using that backup via cwm but it says cannot open directory and no file found. I have the backup saved on both my sd card and internal memory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

You cant use your backup. I know ive tried however you can reflash your stock 4.1.2 rom or custom rom via cwm.

Galaxy Nexus nandroid backup restore failed after CWM update

Hello everyone,
I have rooted and unlocked my bootloader, and installed CWM 6.0.2 I believe (summer 2012). I was using 4.3 Deodexed ROM and decided to upgrade to 4.4, so I mad a nandroid backup through CWM. Then I found out that 4.4 required me to update my CWM to 6.0.4.3, so I did. After upgrading CWM, I was unable to restore my old 6.0.2 backup. Is there any way to restore it, or do I have to downgrade CWM?
If I need to downgrade CWM, can I first perform a backup of my current 4.4 ROM and then downgrade, or is there a chance it will mess with old CWM?
Thanks in advance,
silentz0r

Sorry for bumping, I have noticed that after upgrading CWM, it made new directories into /sdcard and moved my old directories into /sdcard/0. I tried copying the contents of the old CWM directory into the new one (/blobs and /backup) and tried to restore, but still got the same error message notifying me that no backup is found. Is there no way to restore an old CWM backup with newer CWM?

If anyone ever has this problem, I suggest installing ROM Manager. My backups spontaneously started working through ROM Manager (even in CWM recovery). I have no idea why the backup could not be found before, but using this pretty much fixed itself. Marked as Solved.

Thanks for the heads up!
But shouldn't you just have made a back-up before CWM upgrade, then upgrade CWM, make another backup (just in case) and then install 4.4?
I am still on 4.3 and I will do it this way in the near future.
