In ROM Manager, after going to "Manage and Restore Backups", and select the file I want to restore, a window pops up with the message: "This does not seem to be a valid backup. The MD5 file is missing."
I'm not sure what is wrong. If it helps, I'm on an EVO and I didn't use the default name that ROM Manager generated and used my own. EDIT: I've also gone into Recovery > Nandroid > Restore and selected the desired backup. I then get the message: "MD5 mismatch!"
Thanks in Advance.
I've never used Rom Manager, but do you know what recovery you are using? I usually just boot into recovery and use the option to restore from there. When phone is off, hold volume down and power then use vol down to select recovery
My EVO died. Sprint replaced it with a new one. I am trying to restore my old system. I had done a nand backup, copied it to my PC. I have now copied it back to my sdcard. Rerooted my new EVO (with simple root) and flashed recovery. When I try to restore the nand backup, I get the following from the recovery log:
Restore BCDS-20100809-1819 ?
Press Power to confirm,
any other key to abort.
Restoring : .
nandroid-mobile v2.2.1
Searching for backup directories, matching BCDS-20100809-1819, to delete or restore
or compress
Looking for the latest backup, will display other choices!
Error: no backups found
Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb!
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? I restored the whole /nandroid directory. In recovery, I get a phone with a red triangle with a red exclamation point overlayed. Also at bottom "Build : not set". Saw neither of these on my last EVO recovery. It is supposed to be amon-RA recovery.
Please help.
Figured it out. My serial number changed of course. Had to get a sub-directory under nandroid with the new serial number. Restored fine.
Still don't understand, I get a phone with a red triangle with a red exclamation point overlayed. Also at bottom "Build : not set". Saw neither of these on my last EVO recovery.
I have an International version of Note 2 (N7100) rooted with CWM recovery 6.0.4.3 (touch) installed.
In order to analyze the wakelock problem (most of the time, the CPU is at 200Mhz rather than deep sleep when it is not used. Also "battery info" tells me the battery was mostly used by "Android OS"), I have to factory reset the device and flash to the stock 4.3 ROM. I monitored the newly setup phone for a day before I rooted it and install CWM recovery 6.0.4.3 for full system backup.
Happily used the phone for a week. After my son played with it for an afternoon, the wakelock problem comes back. Not sure what settings did he changed or apps he installed. So I go ahead backup the current rom and restore the phone from the previous backups.
Here was what I have done:
1. Boot into Clockworkmod recovery
2. Clear all partition / factory reset
3. Select Backup and restore.
4. Select the backup directory that I want to restore from (the one without wakelock problem)
5. Wait for the restoration process to finish
6. System reboots.
After system rebooted, it kept popping up "unfortunately com.google.process.gapps has stopped". The device was not usable, because the message will pop up again once I click OK to dismiss it. I then tried the following, but none of them works.
1. Restore from different backups
2. Enable "download service" from application manager. (It was not disabled)
3. Reset all apps settings from "Application manager" (menu)
Trying option 2 and 3 was a pain as the popup messages was blocking the screen, I have to be really quick to dismiss the message box and touch on the command.
BTW, the CWM recovery touch was installed from Odin, not from ROM manager. I experience the following problems:
1. Issue with "backup current ROM" command from "ROM manager". It cannot find /ex_sdcard when it goes to recovery.
2. It cannot find dalvik partition to wipe.
3. Backup to zip command does not work. It does backup the files and at the end it said the backup file is in /storage/sdcard/clockworkmod/image.zip. But I cannot find the zip file any where, including the external sd card.
Here is what I did to restore my phone to previous state with stock ROM:
1. Use Odin to flash the stock rom (samsung 4.3 for N7100), which will restore the stock recovery instead of the CWM recovery.
2. Reboot the device.
3. Use Odin to flash CWM recovery.
4. Reboot the device.
5. Go into recovery and restore only the /data partition.
6. Wipe /cache.
7. Reboot the device
8. Boot back to recovery and root the device.
Now I have the phone at my previous state.
Does it mean CWM recovery will not work with stock ROMs ? or I did something wrong.
Also, I still have not find out what was the cause for the wakelock problem in "Android OS". I have two backups where one has the problem and one does not. I have tried untar them and compare them with WinMerge, but there were a lots of files to go through.

I did not find the problem with restoration using CWM, but did find out what causes the wakelock: "Automatic call recorder Pro".
Disable the auto start function and battery drains is back to 1% per hour during standby.

I have to say, I did encounter the replication of the same exact problem. It kept popping up "unfortunately com.google.process.gapps has stopped". I was using the same CWM recovery 6.0.4.3 for my N7100 using stock android 4.3.
Try to do so many things but fail to get rid of the pop up. At the end, I ended up having to flash rom using Odin.
Anyway, I think, there's some bug with CWM recovery 6.0.4.3 that caused the error to happen. I managed to use TRWP 2.6.3.1 without any problem to restore after that.
Regards,
Had exactly same problem, i downgraded cwm from 6.0.4.6 to 6.0.4.4 by using odin
Than restore works fine no problems with services.

Download image and overwrite existing one
Now i see that i have entered the rooting world in it's darkest time
I had the exact same problem of yours with CWM 6.0.4.3 and and the exact same problem with titanium backup(when i restore APP DATA for almost all apps they crash and keep popping messages). so there was no restore feature for me for long time
BUT TB restoring of App data is fixed when i updated TB to latest version and the CWM nandroid after-restore problem is fixed when yesterday i upgraded to philz 6.46.3, the restored ROM works flawlessly.
Now I think(not sure) what was going on is related to something called "FIX Permissions" or in other words when we restore system + data things get messed up that each app can't find it's own DATA folder causing it to crash. CWM and titanium backup didn't use to fix that mess but now they do so these problems won't occur anymore.
Hi there,
Last friday I broke my lcd screen, it simply does not turn on anymore. Tomorrow an UPS employe will pick up my device and ship it to OP for repair.
My device: Oneplus 3 running TWRP recovery and rooted LineageOS. Adb is enabled in dev settings.
So now I am trying to create a nandroid backup to easily restore my system and data when I get my phone back since OP will reset it ...
I had this genious idea to boot into recovery and create a backup using adb but I ran into a problem.
I have to unlock my device in order to create the backup :/
adb console:
> D:\Desktop\Fastboot+ADB\Win32>adb backup -f backupbeforerepair --twrp system data boot
> Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation.
So now I am hoping any of you will come up with another genious idea or a workaround so I can create this damn backup
Thanks alot in advance!
If anyone else would ever find himself in the same situation as me I was able to create the backup by doing the following:
You can use open recovery script in TWRP. See http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/OpenRecoveryScript
If you have the file
/cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript
then TWRP will process it when it starts.
If the file contains
backup BSDO myBackup
then the boot (kernel), system, and data partitions will be backed up in compressed format and named myBackup.
So, on your PC, create the openrecoveryscript file, boot into recovery, use ADB to push the file to /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript then reboot back into recovery. That should trigger the backup process.
Note, the backup will be written to the default location TWRP for backups.

So when I tried restoring a backup it did not boot and when I booted back into TWRP all my files are crypted... it didn't prompt me to enter my password... what can I do?
never mind, I just wiped...
