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 !

Yes, you need to restore the backup with same recovery you used to make it.

On your sd card you will see the folder:

and

maybe you didnt use clockwork.. flash amon_ra recovery and try restore
Only recovery I used for my evo has always been clock work recovery. I used it with rom manager. This sucks.. I had alot of settings I don't want to reconfigure and apps I don't remember.

Not the case for me, I made a backup with the backup/restore feature running ClockWorkMod 2.6.0.1 (somewhere around that version ) and was successfully able to restore it using ClockWorkMod 3.0.0.1.

1. Has the backup somehow become corrupt?
2. Are you restoring it from a different evo?

Restoring backup has nothing to do with unrooting anyway. When you run the ruu, its going to wipe everything. And next time, use amon ra
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.

Because the system data will be different, and can and most likely will cause problems.
The best thing too do is backup your launcher settings and apps via titanium, then restore them on the new evo, though when restoring the app, ONLY do apps+data, NOT system settings.
The problem lies within your first post you cannot wipe boot with clockwork. You need to download and flash vrsuperwipe or calkulins format all. Then restore your backup because it is failing to flash your boot.img on top of an unwiped boot.

I'm going to repeat what I just said; it doesn't matter. When you unropot, everything will be wiped anyway. You will loose your data and have no way of getting it back unless you back up apps and texts before running ruu

I need an app to backup my user data, apps and setting. A friend told me to use titanium backup but is there any other apps out there for beginners like me or is there a way of backing up the entire ROM in case anything goes wrong with my new custom ROM???

If your using Clockword mod recovery, then u can download rom manager and make a full back up of your current rom.
I'm assuming you already have root?
I am using 4EXT recovery I am just testing out the backup and restore at the moment to make sure it works but thanks for your advice, will try that if this method doesn't work

4EXT is highly thought of around here, I like using CWM as it's so easy to restore backups straight through rom manager.
Happy flashing
Ok just had a great result with a 4EXT restore. It works im so happy going flash a ROM right now lol. Thanks Everyone that helped me I dont have any thanks left for today but you will surely receive them tomorrow im out PEACE

Are you using TWRP or CWM? Have you updated to the latest?
I think TWRP can restore CWM, so if you're on CWM, install TWRP then try restoring. Worth a shot.

Backups are different formats so I dont believe either recovery will restore the others backups.
how can i get twrp? I am using CWM v6.0.1.0..

Try a different backup or just start fresh and don't use a backup.

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.
i just wanted to know since a nandroid backup backs up the boot.img of a rom as well as the data, could i make different "stock" backups of roms and just format the system and factory reset and restore roms from backups? like say i back up pacman rom, then go to stock. can i just reflash pacman without the boot.img (say i dont have a computer) and restore the backup? would that make the boot.img work? cause if so i could have one backup of each rom on my 16gb sd card and just reflash when i need it. thanks guys
