When making a backup, can I disable MD5 to make the nandroid finish quicker? I've used twrp previously which was faster and I don't recall twrp requring md5 to be generated.
Also, anyone use custom backup? If so, what do you select for your backup?

I've had CWM for quite a while now and I have my nandroid backup of my stock rom on it. If I switch to TWRP, will the backup still be there? Also, if it is, will the backup be compatible and able to restore using TWRP? Thanks.
no
So should I just stick with CWM or is there anything I can do that can keep my backup if I switch to TWRP?
Just keep a copy of the cwm recovery. You can always reinstall it if you need to flash your stock backup.
I have made a Nandroid Backup, and did a full wipe. I flashed a newer kernel, but whenever I try to restore my backup, I get "MD5 Mismatch!" on the CWM.
How would I fix this?
Did you rename backup? Or alter the ROM in any way? Sometimes that can cause a md5 mismatch.

You are going to have to rehash your file with the original md5sum

Try renaming your folder with the backup like this > 2012-10-13.09.47.04
Crazy but when I backup a Rom clockworkmod doesn't even make a nandroid md5 file it all started when I flashed twrp recovery as a test I tried it and I found out the twrp recovery doesn't restore cmw backups so I went back to cmw using version 6.0.1.1 but since then I can't make a backup I can only restore old backups that have a nandroid md5 I'm thinkin that it's cmw that doesn't create any nandroid md5 files what can I do I tried older versions of cwm but it hasn't fixed anything yet
Hi all,
I need to recover some information from my phone from before I flashed a new ROM, and wondering what's the easiest way about it based on the scenario given below;
I was running a rooted stock ROM (LB) with TWRP. I used titanium to batch backup my apps ( but seem to have overlooked my notepad app which had info in it that I now need.)
I installed resurrection remix which comes with CWM so can't just do a new nandroid, then restore the old one to get the info, then re-restore the newer backup.
Is there a way to extract the info direct from my twrp backup on my SD/ laptop or do I need to/is it possible to flash TWRP to replace CWM and keep the rest of the ROM as-is?
TIA
If you are just recovering a file, and not restoring the backup itself, try using nandroid manager. I can extract a file from my nandroid backup (created by cwm). I never tried it with twrp nandroid backup though.
Other option is to try to flash the Dual Recovery on your phone.
Then you have TWRP and CWM on your phone.

Samsung apparently does not allow you to boot into the bootloader on their phones. I am trying to return to a different kernel I was using previously, which was contained in a nandroid backup. However, to my understanding, restoring a nandroid backup does not restore the kernel, and you have to extract the boot.img and flash that by itself.
What is the best way to go about doing this without fastboot?
Also, I don't suppose "restore boot" in nandroid advanced restore does this now, does it? Can't find anything on it online.
From what I recall, restoring the nandroid backup would restore the kernel. What recovery was used to create the nandroid?

I used CWM. I read in several places (forums) that it didn't....Hm. I mean I have the boot.img from the backup, so I have the kernel right there. I suppose I could find some way to make it into a flashable zip, but I was just wanting to see if anyone knew a way around that.
But if you are confident that the backup would restore the kernel, do you know if I could restore just the kernel from advanced restore? It'd be fab if I could keep /data the same, but not a must I suppose.
I use TWRP on an HTC and just restored a nandroid backup. After restoring the backup, the previous kernel was restored too.
I don't have any devices at the moment that use CWM.
Not sure about just restoring the kernel. Any particular reason you just want to restore the kernel?

I started getting some problems after flashing a custom kernel and I want to revert to the previous one, the default CM one, to test if my problems are related to that kernel or not. I suppose I'll look into making the .img a flashable zip then, unless anyone else knows of a better way. I'm not familiar enough with Odin to know if you can flash a .img in it.
There's that "restore boot" option in the advanced restore menu on CWM. Do you have any idea what that restores? I want to naturally say that it probably restores the boot.img, but I have searched and searched and just cannot find anything online about what that actually restores.
Nandroid backups created with CWM need to be restored using CWM.
Sorry, not sure what the advanced options will do but you could try different ones.
Restoring boot in advanced nandroid restore restores the zimage and initrd.gz. The kernel. Thus, I suppose a full restore will restore the kernel. Perhaps there are exceptions for certain devices. Restoring boot got me where I needed.
