I have already a copy of the original stock ROM on sd card which I want to bring it back on my Gio. When I try to restore it through CWM, it gives an error that there is error with the md5. I even tried it with Titanium and it gives error too.
How else can I restore this stock back on my phone?
The backup probably got wiped so you can only get stock using odin or one flashable through recovery from here
I did make a copy of the backup on my laptop too, and the same I have put on the sd card to restore it.
I tried to restore it from CWM but it failed.
How can I restore this backup (there are two folders backup + download) by Odin?
You can't restore backups using odin.
I guess you want full stock?
Grab official firmware for you country on sammobile.com
And search the flash instructions on the forums
Thanks for the suggestion.
If its not possible to restore with the backup, then what can it be done with the back up we take?

If it isn't working the backup is useless, delete it and free up your sd card storage
You can't backup it by cmw.

How else to take a backup of stock rom?
In cmw there is a nandroid backup function, what is this backup used for?

he has 6 posts, he's just trolling to get 10 I guess, and talking complete ****.
you can use ADB to backup, pull system.rfs, recovery.img, boot.img from a running phone, create a .tar, and create md5sum with cygwin, so you can flash it with odin, , but I don't know if you can also pull your data/cache partition and so have a backup..
edit:
your current backup has a md5 fail I think, because you moved it to your laptop and it got corrupted.
you can remove .md5 and extract it?

Hey
@OP you can restore the backup through CWM normally but in special circumstances the md5 checksum will change.. search online for md5 fixer ... i used to do this on my galaxy Y and it worked...

Dear all, please help. i have been using hybrid ROM 2.1 with terma kernel, sd 2nd partition n a2sd. after about 3months, 2 hours ago when i was trying restore my stock ROM backup with cwm by madteam it shows an error message while restoring. i m sure that i have followed all da steps correctly. what to do now? please help me out.
You only can get back to stock with odin, CWM cant acces .rfs filesystem, only ext2/3/4. So reflash firmware with odin.
Don't forget to hit thanks

it is not an odin package, just a cwm backup which i made before start to use a custom ROM.

Yes i know: cwm doesnt have acces to the filesystem .rfs so the only way to get back to stock is download a odin firmware package on sammobile.com and flash that with odin.
You cannot restore a backup of stock rom after flashing a custom rom.

if you have backed up your original kernel before flashing terma's kernel, then flash it and restore your cwm back up

You'll get MD5 mismatch error when you use CWMs not meant for your device. Use MadTeam's or Skin's CWM to backup/restore and there'll be no MD5 mismatch.

make sure that the back up inside your cwm folder has no spaces in case you renamed it
ex:
correct --> my_backup
wrong ---> my backup

Get your stock kernel here. Flash it through Odin as PDA. You can restore your Stock ROM after you've got back to stock kernel.

Which CWM did you use to make the backup? Backups made with Madteam's and Skin's don't have MD5 mismatch problem.

For a nandroid restore to work properly in CWM, the path to the images needs to be EXACTLY the same as it was when you created it. For example, if when you did the backup, the file was located in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012.06.30.07.30.00, then you need to make sure that that path is exactly the same. Otherwise, you will need to regenerate the MD5, and then it will work by doing this:
adb shell
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-06-30.07.30.00
rm nandroid.md5
md5sum *.* > nandroid.md5
exit
EDIT: And please change your title. Your phone is not bricked. Bricked means it is as useful as a brick -- i.e., it does not work anymore and it cannot be fixed without returning it. You may have messed up the firmware, but your device certainly works just fine.

What recovery are you using and how exactly did you try to restore?
If you renamed the backup make sure there are no spaces

If you can get to recovery then you are definitely NOT bricked.

Hey everyone. What exactly is a Nandroid Backup? If something goes wrong with a rom cant you just boot to download mode and restore via ODIN?

A nandriod backup it a back up of your system, kernel and data. its used to restore via recovery. I've never restored via odin, but I think you can choose to make a back up as a .tar file and restore that way too. Correcet me if I'm wrong. But I make a nandroid as a .zip file.

I usually make the nandroid from my Recovery (not sure if you can via Odin, I haven't used Odin since I rooted my phone because now I just use Mobile Odin for everything), and it makes it into a .zip file that can be loaded via recovery. Not sure if you can load it from mobile odin since I haven't really had a reason to try, but It's usually safe to restore your nandroid if something went wrong. I have multiple nandroids to restore to in case I need to, but the one I use most is a nandroid of stock EL26 rooted just because I like the recovery that came with it.
oh ok. thanks guys

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.

you need to flash cwm recovery first and do a full wipe. I think the backup folder is clockworkmod/backup/"date". I find it easier to just wipe then do a backup, even though is nothing on your phone, and this will give you the file structure you need. then go to the "backup/date" folder and delete the contents and replace them with your saved backup and flash it. and dont forget to flash the boot.img from your backup too
