Hey guys!
I made the mistake of trying to run an animation I downloaded on my phone while running Go Launcher. It of course, didn't work. I went ahead, wiped the data and then went to restore and tried to restore my nandroid and it told me:
Oops! Something went wrong!
I reflashed CM7 and did it all over again. My question is, what could have "gone wrong?"
Why did this happen? I'm using Amon Ra. If anyone could help me, that would be AWESOME! Thanks in advance guys!
Md5 sum mismatch, or corrupt IMG, bad block write, many choices, there is recovery log you can view if you move log to sdcard and repeat the error

Make sure you have a fully charged battery when restoring your nandroid. I think if it's below 50%, you'll get the error. It's happened to me and after I put a fresh battery in, the restore went through without a hitch. I use Amom RA 2.2.1.

This. Also, on the advanced options of RA there is an option to copy recovery.log to the sd card. That will show you the details of the error.

This makes sense. I was at 40%. I wasn't worried because I have the seidio 3500 mah battery. I guess Amon Ra was just trying to watch my back, hahaha. Thanks guys!
Oh dirty, I figured something was up. No worries. You've been plenty of help so I appreciate everything brother!

Yeah, I had my apps backed up with titanium backup so I flashed cm7 on my phone again and brought my apps back. At the end, it was good this happened. The apps I said "I'll recover with titanium backup later" were the apps I didn't use but didn't delete because I thought I'd use then again. Now I realize I don't really care for them so now I have more internal space, hahaha!

I created a backup using CWM 3.1.0.1 (from rooted EC05). I then flashed one of the new roms, and today wanted to go back, so i booted into 3.1.0.1 and did the restore (from cw). Now the phone boots up to the Samsung screen and sits there. What am I doing wrong? Sorry if this has already been asked, I did a search but couldn't find this particular issue. Thanks for any and all help.
both backups were made using 3.1.0.1? and were both made in 3finger recovery? and when you restored you were in 3 finger recovery, not reboot recovery?

I only did 1 backup, not sure what you mean by 3 finger recovery? I booted in CWM (purple) and did the back-up. I then put on the "Bamboozle" rom (and yes, I wiped everything 3x like qb shows in the vid) then installed the rom. I ran it for the past week (loved the rom, but it was eating my battery really bad) so wanted to try a different rom. I thought the easiest way to start was to restore the backup I made, so I booted back into cwm and selected Backup/Restore, Restore, Yes and it ran and said it restored fine. I reboot, but all I get to now is the Samsung screen, no further.

Let me just say, I think I f'ked my phone up. So I gave up trying to restore, just odin'd back to stock (ec 05). Which I then re-rooted and re-installed CWM 3.1.0.1 (I have titanium backups as well). However, now the phone runs really, really slow and when I try to restore apps from titanium it just sits there (in batch mode). Sorry, for being a noob; hey, if nothing else, maybe I'm making someone smile at my dumb a$$. But now, if I can be even more stupid, is there a way to just "reset" the phone, by that I mean put it back to a "true stock" form so I can start over? And then, can I just delete these backups, and roms from the sd card (just hookup to laptop and delete from the sd-card)? I think maybe it'd be easier to just start from scratch again...thanks for the help, I try to keep up with the forums, but so many posts....
What he means by 3 finger is the ONLY way to get into recovery for proper operation. With power off press and hold camera, volume down, and power. Holding all 3 until you see the recovery menu. If you use any other method such as ROM Manager or Quick Boot you will more than likely screw up your phone. Neither application is recommended for recovery operations.

I believe clockwork does not backup the kernel. You may need to install a kernel.
Just a thought...

If you backed up on ec05 and installed a gingerbread rom you need to odin back to ec05 and then do the restore. It won't work if you are on different os versions. At least it never has for me.

Wait, did you wipe data/system,cache, and Dalvik Cache then restore your nandroid? I have a SRF 1.2, an Urban Regeneration, and a CM7 nandroid. As long as I wipe everything then restore I have no problems. I have bounced between all three today with no issues

Yeah, the issue was I was running bamboozle (GB leaked rom), so once I odin'd back to EC05, I was able to run the restore without problem. I am now running SRF 1.2 (awesome rom btw) and I was able to restore when trying to install that rom (and the genocide kernel). Thanks for all the helpful answers.

I would have thought the same thing. However, I simply restored my SFR 1.2 nandroid right over the gingerbread rom. With a few glitches smoothed out I am running fine again with no Odin involved.

Yeah, I have gotten the dreaded Google Services Framework FC's a couple of times but for the most part I can wipe everything and restore a Froyo setup even when on a Gingerbread ROM. The purp recovery is good like that.

When restoring across different OS versions it is handy to do a Restore>Advanced Restore Data from the Nand backup. There may be the occasional FC if the data format has changed but that usually can be fixed by clearing data of the offending app, especially for Google sevice framework.

Kenny - I did try that as well. I tried everything, I did the "Restore" option like 4 separate times, I wiped data, cache, dalvik cache 3 x, even did the Advanced option and went down the list. None of that helped. Now it may be that I just didn't wait long enough, but I figured 4-6 minutes of the "Samsung" screen meant it had stopped responding (I see that all that time in MS apps). I finally odin'd back to stock ec05, re-rooted (and updated back to cwm 3.1.0.1), then I ran the restore (not advanced), and it worked like a charm. Thanks for all the suggestions on this.

Sometimes our phones can be so finicky. Glad you got it working. Usually when Dalvik is rebuilding it takes awhile at the S screen, so you are correct that 4-6 minutes at Samsung is a cry for help from your phone.

Not true. I always go from froyo to gingerbread with backups. What he Did wrong was not wipe when he tried to restore his back up that's why he got stuck on the Sammy screen. Also if he tried to restore a rfs froyo rom it could've gotten stuck there also since bammbozle was ext4.

You can restore from EXT4 to RFS with advanced restore data nand. He said he tried all of this and still got stuck. But I think you are correct and the first restore attempt borked everything. From there a reflash then advanced restore data should have worked.

So if I understand what you guys said, I should have wiped first (before the initial restore), which I didn't do. When the first restore didn't work, then I did the wipe x3, but it sounds like by that point it was already too late. So should you always wipe before restoring? I only ask, because once I got everything back to a good place I flashed the sfr 1.2. The first attempt caused the phone to boot up with that annoying "Android" screen, so I just booted into CWM and restored. That time I just restored (no wipes, no advanced) and it restored fine. I then re-flashed and all was good. So it seems like you don't always have to wipe x3 before restoring? Thanks btw, all good info for future ref.
Today I tried the new method to obtain S-off and root my 2.3.3 Evo. All went fine but now my phone will only boot into the clockwork recovery tool. How can I fix my phone or get it back to normal?
Have you tried to flash a ROM?
You can try to download and flash a ROM from this site.
Also can you get to your bootloader by pressing volume down and power if so you can find an ruu to put on your sd to put you back to stock.

You can also try flashing this before you flash a ROM it will wipe for you and don't worry it won't wipe your sdcard.

First thing first make a nandroid backup then you can download that vr-superwipe I posted but I'm not really 100% if that works in cwm recovery but when you wipe wipe everything but your sdcard well you don't really have to wipe stats but I don't even think that option is in cwm.
You should really think about switching to Amon ra 2.3 if you haven't you can even flash it from ROM Manager.

Hi everyone. I used TWRP to make a backup of my CM10 nightly so I could flash a TW rom and be able to boot between the two by using the recoveries. Backed up CM10 no problem. Wiped/installed the TW rom (FreeGS3) successfully and it booted just fine. Used it for a little, then I restored my CM10 backup and it just shows the CM10 boot animation and nothing else is happening. I noticed that it made 2 data archives while backing up, but thought nothing of it. Upon further review, I discovered that I can boot with just the 1 data file restored but once I restore the 2nd data file, I get the endless boot animation. Is there anything I can do to solve this? I really need the data I have on here for school and it annoys me that it's sitting in a file that I can't restore!
I posted a question about this same type of issue yesterday here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31573026
...and nobody has seemed to give a crap. But I too have been having trouble restoring my CM10 nandroids. I dunno what the deal is. It's weird.
Also I posted the question in the CM10 nightly thread, and all I got was, "TWRP works fine for me. TWRP restores fine for me. Blah, blah, blah...
Although did read in other places, rootzwiki and around google that TWRP has been known to not restore CM10 nands well for some reason. Something having to do with it not restoring the kernel data well. And the only way around it is to reflash whatever kernel you were using. Kind of a drag. But I'm with you, my TW rooms have been restoring just fine, but the CM10s have been a mess.
Considering switching back to CWM.

Actually I only get one data archive. But someone somewhere did mention something about using the "extract from nandroid" option in Titanium Backup. I haven't tried it yet, but supposedly it works. I think there's other "extract from nandroid" app on the market if I'm not mistaken.
As of right now, I'm about to email the Team Win development team to ask them about the issue. Maybe they can tell me what's going on. Cuz it's only recently this started happening with the restoring of CM10 nandroids, at least for me.

Same thing happened with me. Did the whole Prl thing, and now they're not restoring well. Happened to me with trying to restore the last three CM10s I've ttied to restore. I dunno if the Prl change would have anything to do with it. Although I did get one to settle down after wiping cache and delvik twice, and fix permissions.
But gonna try it again tonight.
Also, I emailed team win and linked them back to here. Hopefully we'll hear back soon.

Yeah it does. For the 3rd one I tried restoring, it at least booted into the rom, but once I started using it, it would force close after a couple minutes. And it would do that over and over. Until I wiped cache and delvik.

For the 3rd nandroid, once it booted up, I immediately booted into recovery and wiped cache and delvik, and rebooted. I did that like three times before it settled down a bit. But ultimately it didn't fix it 100%. I still got FCs. Just not as frequent.
But I finally restored a couple "new" nandroids with the same prl, and I had no problems. I really think it had something to do with the two prls clashing.

But I have gone back into my TW rom and updated the PRL back to what my CM10 backup has it and still won't boot. I have narrowed it down to just being the data archives not restoring properly because it will boot if I don't restore data at all, just that I have nothing on there for data. Is there a way I can restore without data, then restore the data while booted into CM10?

To be honest, I'm stumped about your situation. Because I'm not sure why your old back up is not restoring for you, even tho you change prl back. Cuz my remedy was basically to delete all my old cm10 back ups and start fresh with some new nandroids. And they all seem to be restoring well now that haven't changed the prl. But I know you want to try and salvage your old data. At this point, I'd try and email Team Win and tell them about your situation. They may be able to give you some more tips.
PS . I'm still waiting for a response from the email I sent a couple says ago.

Basically it restores fine as long as I don't restore the data files, which are kinda important. :banghead:

By the way, I just threw my CM10 backup on my SD card to see if it would work and it's currently restoring so I'll let you know if it works. I'm just trying anything at this point!
EDIT: It's restoring archive 2 right now! That never happened before. This should be good. So anxious!
OMG IT WORKED! I'M SO HAPPY! drewmonge, put the backup on your SD card and restore and it will work!
It's the kernal. I had the same problem but just from switching between TW and ASOP roms. Flash a new kernal made for whatever type (asop or tw) you're trying to install and it'll work. Mine happened on a s4 though, but I bet same base problem.
I flashed an AOSP Rom (SuperNexus) on my LGOG. Now when I try to flash a Stock (ZVB) based ROM, my phone reboots every time data connects. I tried Stock Rooted and Lifeless. The ROM's will flash onto my phone, but I can't get any data.
I tried installing LGNPST, but every time I connect my phone and open the LGNPST software I get a message that LG USB/Parallel dongle is not detected. I flashed back to Super Nex and my connection is fine.
And I am re-flashing, not restoring a backup. I ran a backup in TWRP before I flashed Super Nex so that I could get back to my Stock setup, but TWRP can't see anything to restore.
Ugh

sounds like you're having similar issues as bmp7777, have you made any changes to your storage? as in the whole sdcard0 stuff? are your backups stored in sdcard0 ? when you flash a aosp rom it changes the way your storage is set up make sure you put your important stuff on sdcard0

Why not just completely erase data? Including data media? That will solve all problems.

Didn't want to suggest a complete erase If it could be avoided... so was basing my response on a minimal damage scenario... Lol,

Hope I didn't come across as rude, wasn't my intention, just thought up the quickest way I knew would solve it

This happened to me a couple months ago.
Easy solution:
Go to TWRP -> Wipe -> Advanced -> make sure you wipe all four options data, dalvik, cache, and system.
When you factory reset you only wiped data, dalvik, and cache. You forgot to wipe system, then you can go back to flashing normally.
Dont worry this wont wipe your SDcard.
Well I ****ed up. I formatted the data partition. I am now hard bricked. No recovery, no boot, nothing. glad I purchased that insurance.

Are you actually hard bricked because at this point normally I'm pretty sure you could just LGNPST back to stock? I mean I've wiped everything before to rule out dirty flashing related bugs on ROMs and I don't think TWRP actually touches any of the really critical low-level files.

Worse than I've done before. Whatever I did I got black screen no matter what volume rocker power button combo I use. I have lgnpst installed on my computer but it doesn't recognize that I have my phone plugged in. Not sure what to do with that. Everything worked well when I rooted.

I sent you a pm so we can talk on gtalk/hangouts.

I had the same issue with LGNPST. The solution is very simple. Uninstall LGNPDT completely from your computer. Go into start-computer-c drive and delete folders labeled LG electronics off of there and inside program files. Then reinstall LGNPST but right click the .exe file and select install as administrator. This will solve your issue and flash back to stock. Make sure you follow the normal process of selecting the .dll and .bin files.
Let me know if this helped.
