Normally, it always skip that step, may be due to your particular rom. I think you should backup stock rom for safety

Argh! What was the soulution? I'm having the same problem.
I'm experiencing the same error as above,
Desire HD - Rooted, S Off.
ARHD 7.0.3 (backed up after flash)
Decided to try out a theme (two days after ARHD was installed) which I wasn't too keen and tried to recover the backup which lead to boot loops.
Flashed older versions of CWM (3.0.0.5) which shows the above error regarding MTD partition.
4ext shows: format_volume failed to unmount "/system"
Filesystem is yaffs2.img.
Currently using the dreadful stock 1.32 and can flash a new Rom if needed, I would prefer to restore the backup if possible.
Any response/help is gratefully received.

im GUESSING he flashed ruu.
have you used different recovery version from which the backup was made? if not, the backup might be corrupted, not much you can do i think.
from my experience with custom mtd part sizes from wildfire: when things get borked, it might help if you wipe everything, reflash recovery, wipe again and then try installing a rom.
another thing comes to mind, if i remember correctly, it is required by some roms to format your phone in ext4. compleatly unsure about this, search to verify. allso try superwipe script from arhd
and try ext4 recovery, i never had one problem with it

Installing the ROM first
I had the same problem... I'm not much experimented with Android stuff,
What I did is just installing the original ROM that was used in my backup first... Then I tried restoring by backup and it worked!! So was it something I was supposed to do? I thought restoring a backup included everything.
Or maybe a reboot fixed it?!
Hello Frnds,
I am on XperiaMod 6. Today I thought of flashing the FrankSteinMod rom. as it can be flashed on DoomKernel v19, I copied the rom on SDCard, went to CWM, did a backup of XperiaMod 6 rom. and flashed the new rom.
After I completed the rom flashing, I wanted to get my data back as I didnt want to install all d apps again. So I went into the CWM -> Backup & Restore ->Advanced restore and selected /data to restore.. After the installation is completed, when I rebooted my cell.. I saw not all the apps were restored... Like, my launcher only I could see restored.. Y this happened? Its quite annoying to see like this.. Again, I went back to XperiaMod 6..
I dont understand... whenever I flash new rom, some apps always go missing.. Recently I flashed KA06 and I could not find the market...
I follow the proper process of wipe Factort/data->Cache-> Dalvik Cache and the install zip.. still same problem I m facing..

lol did you have that before or is that just me just noticing it now? anyway i suggest you reflash your Rom and restore only the data from your other nandriod backup that isnt working so basically you had another clean fulll wipe (REMEMBER if ur using AOKP which i think you said u gottta format data after you flash it) anyways yea u should restore your data so whatever problem that was should be there again !

Do you Wipe Data/Factory Reset/Cache etc before restore?
did you changed kernel?
if you chanege the name of the backup, things will not work.

yes....not change the name of backup...
moreover if you have flashed a zip and it didn't go fine....there is a possibility that the istallation have spoiled the backup or file of kernel...(for all I know it happened to me in this way)
Yes Guys i do make a full wipe before restore, and after making a backup i transfer it to pc for Safe storage, so whenever i need it i transfer it back to cloclworkmod folder

If u flash custom kernel, u need to also flash wifi modules before rebooting after restore...
I dont Flash custom Kernel, everything is stock, by the way My Arc is Bootlocked so customs kernels
While you make backup does cwm show any errors? have you checked the log ? Does the restore process complete without errors ? And do you fix permissions and mount system /data etc before restoring ?

Then do it ! and try again .
This is what is happening to me. Lets say am Running on GB Rom e.g X-Gamer, now i want to try lets say Optimax Rom, i backup my Current ROM which is X-Gamer, then i try to restore it to see if its works, and i find that it works. so Flash ICS Original Sony ROM and root it. in the end i Have Sony Stock ROM.587 and CWM installed. So far am ok.
Now i Install ICS based ROM like Optimax or JellySandwhich. Everything goes Fine, so i Backup That ROM too and keep a copy on my Laptop. Now i decide to go to my old backup of X-Gamer, i Boot to recovery do a full wipe + i mount data/system and fix permission as i have CWM 5.5.0.4. which has permission option in it. i continue to restore my X-Gamer Backup. After Finnishing of course without error. i reboot the phone and Bam!!. Bootloop.
I reflash GB.42 with Flashtool, root it and install CWM. Boot to recovery and try to restore my X-Gamer backup, and WOLA!! it's restored.
same with ICS Backup. Reflash Stcok Rom root it and restore the ICS backup i made, and it works.
As i know i may be wrong (am a noob) The backup is a snapshot of the rom, so regardless of what rom someone is running when he restores the Backup, he should be back to that ROM in the backup and not to reflash first the corresponding Stock ROM in order for the Backup to work.
Please somebody help and shade some light
Have you used the same recovery all the time? Switching recoveries can "sometimes" not flash backups properly. Either that or it didn't back it up properly in the first place. TBH there's not much we can can do. The backup is corrupted and for that it is causing bootloops and braking things. All I can suggest to you is to reinstall a fresh install of the ROM and then try an advanced restore of your applications and data just not the Boot.img or the system.img

I have tried to use same recovery, but same result. restoring backup across different ROM does not work for me it seems. I have to have a working corresponding rom as the backup am trying to Resotre. for example if i want to restore my backup of GB ROM, i have to have a working GB Rom already on Phone. I Can't restore an ICS Rom while my Phone is On GB and vice verser.

Flashing an ftf also flashes the kernel, so restoring a GB backup when you originally installed ICS or vice versa will give you issues as CWM doesn't backup your kernel.

Thanks XperienceD for Clarifying. now i undersatnd. Just wanted to ask is it possible to flash A GB Sock Kernel on an ICS ROM or vice versa, then using the backup to restore thru CWM, as this will save time than to reflash the ftf, root it and install CWM just only to restore your backup.

This is why it's better to unlock your BL, then it's just a flash of a kernel then restoring your backup.
