I have several nandroids and do not need many of them is there a way to tell them apart other then restoring them all just to see. I will probably start naming them from here forward.
Thanks
Not really, except the letters in the backup, which stand for what was backed up, and the date of course. And I take it you have to name them on a PC? I have tried and haven't been able to on the phone, Well I suppose if I used astro...ect.

They show the day in the yyyymmdd format, with a time stamp based on gmt.
You can always rename them in Root Explorer, ES File Manager, etc. after backing up, just make sure there are no spaces in the file name. You can use dashes, underscores, etc., to separate the words (underscore is my personal preference). I always name mine by the date in a yyyy m d format, the rom name, and kernel. So, if I backed up today, I would name the file:
2011_3_2_WarmZTwoPointTwo_Netarchy_4.3.2_bfs_sbc_morehavs
Hope this helps.
I name and date mine

I have been using incredibly re-engineered z and downgraded to clockwork 3.0.0.7 as the instructions say to do to load nils business sense z . I downloaded the rom and used Rom Manager to install the new rom, as I always do, except for restoring sometimes in recovery. For some reason when the phone booted back there was a horizontal black line across the screen below the "HTC Incredible boot screen...then there are two vertical white lines at each end of the screen and the center is black.. The home,menu,back and search button still have haptic feedback, so i assumed the phone didnt quite make it into recovery...pulled the battery...tried regular reboot...same thing happens at the boot screen. Got phone into bootloader and when i hit fastboot, it shoots out a bunch of errors it seems real quickly. All is can read is SD checking...no image or wrong image...PB310IAG.zip (i think)...lack of heap. I tried to get the phone into recovery from the bootloader screen and the same thing keeps happening. I'm stuck and have no clue what kind of fix there is for this...am i bricked? I dont get this...have flashed roms 20 times or so and nothing like this has ever happened...please help!
Sense you can't get into recovery you are going to have to flash back to stock with an RUU..... if you want I will help you through the process..... first check and make sure your SD card is formatted fat32... and let me know and we will go from there

i was able to format fat 32...also tried a factory reset and clear memory...appreciate any help...thanks!
actually just tried to make sure once again and it says SD FAT32 init OK

Process done, reboot device?
(vol up) yes...i am at that screen now

Ok follow these steps exactly for step was formatting the SD so hboot can read the zip..... now download the zip I'm giving you and place it on the root of your SD card once you have it there rename the zip PB31IMG.zip exactly, then boot into hboot wait for for it to search for it if you did my steps correctly it will once it finds it it will ask you if you want to update press the button up to update let it do its thing till it says it done and asks you to reboot... don't panic and pull the battery because the process can take awhile just be patient... make sure you have a good charge
Here's the file let me know what happens....

hit volume up and rebooted...didnt reboot into hboot though and same thing happened at incredible screen...assume the sd card is still formatted correctly
i do not have a sd adaptor for my mac and not sure how to flash anything on the hboot screen. Also I have never used my computer for anything on the phone so know very little about how I would put something on the root of my sd card through a computer
thinking about going to verizon tomorrow and just telling them that I might have picked up some new malware that I hear is going around on the market...that it has caused this to my phone...???

just wierd...flashed many a rom and this has never happened before. No clue what I did wrong as I do the same thing every time I flash a new rom through rom manager...make a backup if I wish and wipe...then reboot and off we go...for some reason things went a bit different this time. no clue...?
Yea it sounds strange if you go to Verizon be carefull

if i am able to get an adaptor, how easy would it be to do this. As mentioned, I ve never really done anything with the phone on my computer. I have seen the mass storage files and pulled pics from the sd card through a usb cord and thats about it. I can get an adaptor pretty easily. Just dont know if I can actually do this. I'm decent with computers, but far from an expert
what did i do to the phone so i can try not to do this again. Its like rom rom manager messed me up...sux
Its hard to tell what happened without skittles more info but I can help you I will we will Yakut step by step if you want to try I'm willing to help

most definitely...pretty beat from a long week. Are you gonna be around tomorrow? Also, do you know about mac's? I also have a windows machine so i guess it doesnt matter, but know the mac a little better myself.
I use windows myself but all you need it for is to download the file and then copy it to your SD the rest is done on the phone its actually pretty easy ill just have to explain it in more detail for you.... so if you want to wait go ahead and download the file its about 180mb so you will have it and we will get you fixed

I remember this same thing happening on the Epic when we first started using CWM as well. It wasn't until it was 'officially supported' when the dates got fixed.
However, if you have an app like ROM Toolbox (worth the Pro version too) you can do all sorts of things, but it also has the ability to restore nandroids and it shows the correct date. The actual folder name is still from 1970, but the date listed within the app is correct.
I doubt this is a premium feature, so it should help you out either way.
I'm still in the habit of creating a folder with the ROM name and version and date of the backup and then moving the whole nandroid folder in there. However, sometimes you get md5 mismatches unless you move the nandroid folder back to the CWM/backups folder first before restoring. This could pose a bigger problem if you only use internal storage instead of a microSD as you probably wouldn't be able to move anything if it were on internal storage and you really messed something up.

So my second question ( forgive me if this is a stupid one) is it just a problem with the file and the back up should be fine? Been hesitant to flash anything due to this as I don't want to find out the hard way that it's a problem with the back up itself.

Has worked fine for me thus far. Then again I only use it to update clockwork most of the time and for an easy reboot to recovery.
I have 5.8.4.9 installed and am still having the date issue but I have been able to restore backups of different roms without any issue.
I have a Galaxy Note 2 on the sprint network. Yesterday someone sent me a text and i tried to sent them a text back but my phone didn't have a signal. It reset itself a bunch of times. It stopped resetting and now there is no signal to the tower. I looked on my phone and Baseband version, network, mobile network type say unknown. service state is out of service, username is unavailable. mobile network state is disconnected, my phone number is unknown, min unknown, prl version unknown, meid unknown, imei unknown, iccid unknown. device status modified.
I rooted my phone when i first got it with the method that doesn't make your flash counter go up. I had super user installed and had the OTA survival mode checked and did the OTA update for multiwindow and then lost root. This wasn't a big deal to me so I just left it alone, everything worked. Its been a couple of months and then this happened. I reflashed a stock rom on the phone and that didn't fix anything. I rooted it with the Samsung Note 2 toolkit and that went well. But it somehow got stuck on the boot screen again after a while so i just reflashed to stock.
I downloaded QPST and entered my IMEI into the nv line 550 and clicked the write NV block and returned an error. Im stuck. I have insurance and I've only had the phone a couple of months. What the heck happened? Was it somekind of wipe? I have been working on this all day and I'm going to bed now, but can someone help me out?
I would not have been so quick to start messing with qpst.In most cases where ive seen this the imei and related numbers were fine and it was a system screw up. That said,This happened to me recently and even odin wouldnt fix it. I ran THIS and it brought me back so I would try that first.

thanks. I am downloading that now and will try it and let you know. I didn't want to start messing with qpst but i saw a tutorial that you can enter your imei back into your phone with it. i got my numbers off the box and went to work. but qpst would not write the values into my phone.
when i plug the usb into the phone a flag pops up in windows and says hardware id is missing as well.

i went to the link. i downloaded the file. it was a zip file so i put it on an sdcard and slapped it in my phone. i used the vol up, home key, and pwr key and then i used the update from zip file on external storage. it did some stuff and rebooted. i checked my flash counter and it went up and said i was running custom, custom.
i didn't see any instructions with your post that you linked and I probably didn't use that file the way it was supposed to be used. how exactly do you use it? and when i turned my phone on it still said baseband unknown.
thanks again for helping me with this.

Do you have Root Explorer? If baseband is showing unknown makes me wonder if build.prop is there and complete...?
It needed flashed in a custom recovery. Did u use twrp or cwm to flash it? If so, you did it right. Is it only the baseband thats unknown or everything still? Did you try a ##72786# dialer code reset?

everything is still unknown.
when i dial ##72786# it goes to a meny labeled SCRTN but is blank with no options.
at this point I used triangle away and flashed the stock rom on my phone, it keeps randomly resetting. in the setttings it still has baseband unknown. i did the ota update and the build number is JROO3C.L900VPALJC
under status, everything is unknown and at the botton it says device modified.
when i put it into download mode right now it says custum binary: no ; current binary: samsung official; system status: custom
this started when the phone just started resetting a bunch after my buddy texted me and then it didn't have service and all the values were wiped, i just want to take it back to sprint because ive only had it for a couple of months. will the above values be ok for a trip to the sprint store?

I had this happen to me when I first got the phone and rooted. Scariest first day of ownership thought I was going to have to go in to sprint. Thankfully I flashed the full stock tar and my phone came back to life. Maybe you should try flashing it and see how it turns out for you.

as it is, does the spring store take your phone back if system status is custom and device says modified?
b.) if i can fix it, it would be better than taking it back. everything on the phone still works, but it obviously cant see a cell phone tower or make calls. data on wifi only type deal.

I'm not familiar with that EFS issue since I've never read about it. However I would try that tar I posted as a last resort since the stock zip didn't do anything for you. The issue you're describing is the exact same thing that happened to me and that tar brought me back. And about being custom/modified it all depends on the Sprint Rep you get. Some are cool about it some are not.

my phone is screwed. i got the MSL and put it in my phone and nothing happens. i have to take it back and get a new one.even though all the hardware works, just cant program the info back in the phone for meid, baseband, username, icc id, etc. etc. so no voice calls.
the bummer is that this all happened randomly. i wasn't messing with my phone at all and it was running great then it reset a bunch of times and then wiped everything. i don't know if it would have helped, but i highly reccomend everyone backing up their EFS. because you never know when this will happen to you.
take care, thanks for the help everyone.
Can someone pls tell me why my Wifi is not working. I FLASHED the Synergy latest ROM and now I can't connect to wifi..I tried in other spots and it still tries but will not connect...help.. it gives me an "Saved"or "unable to authenticate error"...this happens anywhere that I try to connect to Wifi...and I actually have to turn WIFI off in order to download data from a file....any suggestions???
Did you chdck the md5 before flashing? Also did you clean flash the rom? One last thing, did you restore any system apps using titanium backup? Any of these three things can cause lots of headaches.

I did not chk the md5..don't really understand what to do with that...I did a clean install and didn't restore apps from Titanium backup...
What do I look for in the md5 and what actually do I do with it..do I install like I am installing a custom ROM???
Usuall the websiye you download the rom from has an md5 or the original post(op) of the thread you got it from has it. It looks like just a bunch of random letters and numbers. Thr way you check the md5 of your file is to go to the playstore and download md5 checker. Also file explorers like root explorer have it. I find it easier though to use the md5 checker app. You open it and it has a box that says load file. You navigate the program to the file( your synergy rom) then you click the select file. It will calculate the md5. Then you just make sure that md5 matches the md5 on the page or thread.

I basically have the same issue for the international version.
This was my first time installing a custom rom, used the 'cm-10.1-20130708-NIGHTLY-n7100.zip ' latest nightly build.
Anyway everything seems to work fine, but WiFi gets stuck on authenticating / obtaining IP address.
I did the MDR5 thing, and when I check it turns red.
I believe I had a similar issue once when I only rooted it. I fixed it by placing the right WiFi file on my phone. But I can't recall the name nor method.

Sorry nothing, not even a tiny hint in my mind. All I remember was I needed a file to fix it
Wait. I forgot something. I got a reply somewhere else telling the following:
'For your case go to the dial number screen and put *#0011# hit the menu then go to WiFi at the bottem. You will notice that the wifi is on eco mode, just get is disabled. There you go'.
I haven't tried it yet since I restored my phone to normal because I needed my WiFi working for apps and messaging.

I'm having the exact same problem, every time I try and flash an AOSP rom. Stock roms like All-Star and Whomp don't give me any issues, but paranoid, CM, anything along those lines at all, they all give me the same issue. I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.
Wanted to comment here again to a POSSIBLE fix. I backed up any internal files I needed to an outside source, then formatted my entire internal storage. Since then, I don't get the Authenticating/Obtaining IP issue as much. I sometimes have to turn the wifi off and back on just once if I restart my phone, but that's about it. Not sure if it'll work for anyone else, but it's helped me.
