nope.
never renamed moved or tampered with anything in the clockworkmod folder
Use TWRP - at least for backups! Use the 'Stable 2' found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083861
Plus, I find it more appealing or attractive than CWM.

Hello I was just wondering if I could make a flashable zip file for cwm, that could make a backup and then restore that backup?? Is there already one of these??
What exactly do you mean by this? Backup Data or make a full nandroid backup? Nandroid backup is built into Clockworkmod, on the front screen. For backing up data with a flashable zip, alot of roms have this functionality built in when you update versions. Moving from one rom to another however, its best to use a program like titanium backup to do this, since backing up data in its entirety and flashing it back makes problems. No two roms are exactly alike, and if just a little bit of that data transferred over is incompatible with the new rom, you're going to get force closes all over.
There was the old Bonsai script which now fails on half the phones. I believe because it was dependent on a version of busybox and a lot of us updated that. Toadlife was working on a newer tar backup and restore but not sure if he finished.

The conversion script by chris41g that changes your file system makes a backup that you can restore don't know if that helps any....
Reread the question and yes there is a script that can be ran as a flashable to make a backup but it gets stored into your cwm folder its not like the script will restore if you flash it again if that's what you want

Hello. I'm running clockwork mod touch v 5.8.4.7 and when I backup any rom it names the backup 1970.**.** I know that cwm v6 is out, however I prefer cwm v5 (I feel as though on my gnex the nandroids took loads longer to backup and restore. And also prefer the old backup method as opposes to the new one.) So here are my questions. 1)has anyone else encountered this bug. And 2)is there a different cwm version that's either newer but not v6 that doesn't have this bug?
I'm pretty sure this is a known bug which doesn't have a solution for the time being. What you can do is backup through Rom Manager; this way you can name the file whatever you want.

Thank you I forgot about that :laugh:
Or try TWRP. It's WAY better in my opinion, but to each his own of course. Just a suggestion.

Your question has been answered, but I would like to add two things:
ROM Manager can name backup folders for you, however, the datestamp on that folder and the included files will still say 1970. You can always rename the folder manually, also.
I was depressed about CWM's new backup methods with v6 as well. At least until I learned that it still has support for the old "full backup" method. I really detest incremental backups for many reasons. In my opinion, tar should be the default option.
To re-enable full backup mode with CWM v6, navigate to:
backup and restore > choose backup format > tar.
This setting saves, by the way. It stores in /sdcard/clockworkmod/.default_backup_format. This file contains the text "tar".
There is zero reason not to use v6 over v5. You can store backups on your extSD now. The only thing I don't like about it is total lack of UI organization. It is a total mess, but I love it anyhow.

No, it's just that the only people that have lost their IMEI have mostly been using CWM.
Hello guys,
I recently did a backup in CWM of the peoples ROM(CWM 5.x.x.x). Afterwards i renamed the backup to something else with a file manager. Well I was messing around with another installed ROM at the time, the paranoid android jelly bean one and decided to do a restore in CWM 6.0.1.5 and when i choose the one i renamed it's telling me MD5 mismatch. Is there anyway to restore this backup?
Thanks.
Yup. First don't rename backups unless it is with ROM Manager. Second google md5 mismatch backup rename and a few solutions pop up. I wish I could help more but don't rememberthe exact procedure.

thanks, i searched and it led me back to here to one thread which led to another thread with one guy saying you cant have spaces in the backup name. Well i had one space and a damned apostrophe! lol. Got rid of both and my backup is currently restoring fine. Good to know!
Thx.
You are lucky. My first time I tried renaming it back to exactly what cwm made and still got the md5. Glad the easy way worked for you.

Hey guys i made a nand backup and now i want to restore it and all it says is MD5 mismatch.. Im using N7100 with CWM.. help thanks
This is a security feature.
If it wasn't there you could have got an error or even though it restored normally you would have a soft bricked phone.
Md5 mismatch means that the backup is corrupted. I don't think it can be helped in any way.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
This is common issue, particularly if you have moved /rename folder
Sometime it happens without any reason
I exactly don't remember but there is adb command to disable MD5 check
Try searching it otherwise will post tomorrow i wrote somewhere on my office pc.
Just to note if your backup is corrupted it may restore corrupt data,

With a root explorer, go to the backup folder of clockworkmod. Then in your backup folder you have to delete file named nandroid.md5 which already contains entries and create a new empty one with the same name. Then you can restore your backup without md5sum checking.
