I understand that you're trying to RESTORE a nandroid backup? If there are no files found or it is corrupted you can try and find your nandroid here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140

Hey guys, I need some help...
Last night I did a nandroid backup of my DC3.2.3 install, so I could update to 3.5 (as well as installing the WIMAX update, which I hadn't done previously).. Today, I wanted to flash back to it for a minute, so I went back into nandroid to restore it, and when I tried, I got an error "couldn't open directory /sdcard/nandroid/"
So, I booted back into android and checked it out.. No nandroid folder on my sdcard, but the backup is saved in the root of the SDCard.. So I created a folder and moved my backup into that folder.. tried again, and then got an error "couldn't open directory /sdcard/nandroid/recovery.img"
Any help?
Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but couldn't you have put it here?? http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=652
And what method did you use to root?

Sorry, didn't occur to me. Mods can feel free to move it.
Rooted with Simpleroot..
Did you use rom manager to back up? If so, you need to use clockwork mod to restore. You can't switch between ra/clockwork.

Got it working with Rom manager... Thanks for the tip!
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...

Hi guys. I have been trying to restore my previous ROM using cwm but it didn't work, just keeps rebooting, so I went for a new one. But I need all of the contacts from my Phonebook. Any idea how can I extract them from the backup files? and, if you do know how to do that, can you please tell me their exact location? Thanx.

mate i tried this but it made an error when installing zip file on recovery system error what must i do ?
Did you bother to read the whole OP including the part how to restore a nandroid. You don't install a zip from a nandroid backup. You unpack it to the corresponding folders on the sdcsrd and restore it with the backup & restore funtion inside the recovery
And make a full wipe before restoring !
thank u mate i will try this and then i will give feedback

No, I meant I hope you made a nandroid backup before deleting those system files. If you did make it, do a restore and everything should be back to normal.

there is no 3.20 ruu and a nandroid backup does not restore the imei otherwise we could not change to other backups (from other people like in the nandroid backup thread) your problem is a bit more serious. Because how do we restore a imei everytime after a full wipe and custom rom ? The parts you talk about are not stored in a rom or a backup !
just flash a stockish rom like ARHD with a full wipe (and flash the boot.img via fastboot) and see if that helps !
