Each time I do a nandroid backup the last step always fails and I'm forced to create an md5 to restore it. Is this a known issue? I'm tired of having to go to a computer to restore from a new backup

did you tweak anything you weren't supposed to? and i assume you are using clockworkmod recovery, try to install bootmanager from the "Play store" and try backing up through that app.

That's funny you'd link me to that thread, as I responded to it on the first or second page. So if you do a nandroid are you able to restore from it right away?
Edit: thank you for re-linking me to that thread. Deleting that one empty folder solved my issue. I appreciate all the replies. Thanks guys

I tried out a different ROM last night, decided to revert to CM9 via my nandroid backup, but when I select the backup I get a message "MD5 mismatch" and the restore fails. Anyone have an explanation for this?

For the MD5 to match, the folder (and path) has to have EXACTLY the same name as when you created it.
If you can't remember what it was, just redo the MD5.
Thank you. I had changed the folder name and added spaces. Never would have thought that would mess it up. Thanks again.

Pretty much ANYTHING will cause an MD5 mismatch to be thrown. Learned that yesterday
If you have multiple backups and need to rename them you can edit the names with Rom Manager. Its the only way I know of that won't cause MD5 mistmatches. Also some people have success just renaming but without any spaces.

Just wondering if TWRP will recognize my nan backup if I rename it. Thanks

There in an option in twrp that allows you to name the backup whatever you'd like to before backing up

He CLEARLY stated in the TWRP thread that if you have a nandroid back up with CWM you will NEED to redo your back ups. so i would think that if he made a point to ask people to do that, that the current CWM back ups you have most likely will not work<<<
unless you simple talking about renaming a TWRP back up

only one way to make sure, but i think as long as there are no spaces you should be able to do that......i have never tried though, i have not actually needed to use one of my back ups in SOOO long.

Backups were glitchy for me on cwm. I switched to TWRP and there's no looking back for me.
Im going to try twrp and see how it works. Thanks
I'm on cwm and backups have been fine. Why don't you redownload cwm and make sure you rwflash your appropriate recovery. I've NEVER had problems with cwm unless I messed with the folder or something.

Another vote to just switch to twrp. It is superior in every way.

Nothing against twrp but what's the point of troubleshooting if you're not going g to troubleshoot? If someone really likes a particular recovery why not help them get it working instead of making the decision for them?

To add another option; did you make your backup to .tar format? That was my issue when I first rooted my phone, couldn't restore anything, kinda panicked...

So I just got another GNex while I wait for more development on the Optimus G.
But for some reason whenever I backup a rom, that's all it does. It doesn't backup the whole configuration. So when I restore a backup I have to set up everything and re-download all my applications again etc.
Anyone seen this before?

Use titanium backup to backup your apps. When backing up a ROM it backs up the ROM itself. Example is when you accidentally brick your phone. You restore the ROM to its stable form not the apps.

No there's definitely something not right, every time and every phone I've used nandroid on backs up eeeeverything, games, apps, settings, rom, texts etc. The only thing it doesn't backup is the sd card.
Edit: TWRP or clockwork?

Negative. A nandroid is a snapshot of the entirety of the system and user data. Barring a few notable circumstances, restoring a backup restore everything on the device as it was at the point in time the backup was made, save for the sdcard.

Yea that's what I thought. With every other phone it backs up everything.

This is unrelated but you never know...
I also have a green tint when booted into recovery. Both the older and newer version of TWRP. But everything else is fine. No tint anywhere else.

What if you try cwm? I've never used twrp, so i do not know, but would assume there are backup options somewhere? Alternately, have you looked into the latest changelog? Maybe it's been made to not backup that data, as it could caue some bugs?...

There has been reports that backup/restore doesn't work with the newest TWRP (2.4.2.0).
You might want to dig up and find an older build and see if that will work.
EDIT: Here's a bunch of TWRP .img files.

You will have to use the NV Backup tool to backup your IMEI (and I think efs?).
