can I go to rcovery use nandroid and then just reboot?. Just curious I dont remember the commands in recovery.
Use cyanogen's latest recovery. ON the recovery menu you can restore your latest backup. I don't remember the syntax for restoring a older backup though.

Hi,
I hope that my experience could help other persons that fall in my situation.
After a try of CM, I couldn't restore my stock backup anymore, the phone hanged up in the lg boot screen.
There were no problems about ext4 partition or wiping or fixing permission.
I was thinking to do a NVflash procedure, but i gave another try: using old modaco CWM recovery. I overwrited CWM 4.2.0.2, performed a wipe, installed the modaco zip ext4->ext3 (i didn't remember if i was ext 3 or 4) and then restore my STOCK backup: EVERYTHING WAS FINE!!!
Maybe there's a problem in the newest CWM during restore a backup, i don't know, but in this way i could restore my original firmware.
Hope that this could be usefull.
Did you do your stock backup with modaco CWM? It has different MD5 checksum than the CWM. Might be the case why you can't restore your backup.
No, I did the stock backup with the original CWM.
I think that the problem is in the restore procedure of the original CWM (4.2.0.2), in fact also the CM restore is impossible, only if you install the zip immediately after the restore. Instead... hangs up.
I find when that happens the best method is to reflash the rom your restoring and just restore the data from your nandroid backup. Always works for me.
confirm this issue with cm & nandroid restore

This is true, restore and then install the rom. But how if your restore is the stock rom? NVflash? It's not the same.
Fortunally, Modaco CWM solve it without this procedure.
Thanks!!
This solve my problem with my stock nandroid restore. I downgrade CWM to 3.1.4 (did the backup with 3.2.8 version) and now works perfect!!
Finally i could restore my stock rom.
my solution was...
1. nandroid backup of mcr
2. full wipe & installed cm7
3. nandroid restore of mcr
4. installed mcr without wipe (this solved bootloop after restoring)
hey,
i restored my nandroid backup from the newest nightly to an older backup, because my gapps didn't stay after the flash.
sadly the restore left some applications, even though i still got plenty of space on my sd card, what could've caused this? i do have titanium backups, but i'd rather restore my complete backup state, than fiddling and trying to remember which stuff is missing. furthermore titanium does restore the application, but not the data, it stays stuck on the restore progress notification, downloading the busybox from titanium didn't help either
i'd be very grateful for help

Are you using CWM 3.0?
Try reverting to an older CWM version our Amon Ra.
As for gapps not sticking, which gapps you using and which rom?
Look for temasek's 20110507 gapps.
Hey guys,
I used odin to get boot it back up and then I used ClockworkMod to restore backed up data....
After phone said 'restore complete,' I let the phone reboot, but the phone will not reboot
at&t screen pops up and then black out then pops up again then into android recovery mode.
Any ideas?
Could you please provide a little more information about how you got to where you are? (e.g. what rom/kernel/modem/theme you were flashing, what ODIN you used, what version of CWM, etc.) Anything you provide will be helpful in troubleshooting.
Well I had cognitive 4.5.3 installed and I tried restoring using clockmod recovery
the restore wasn't successful and the phone would stay black screened after Galaxy S logo screen
So I turned on odin3 and put my phone on download mode then hit start on odin3
that successfully restored the phone to froyo 2.2 without any of my data
so I tried using clockmod recovery once again to restore the backup
and then... that's where I am
The phone won't boot. It will just go into recovery mode
Here's the message I got after trying to restore once again
--------------------------------

When did you make that nandroid backup? If you made it while on stock, you'll have to go back to stock first, then run the restore command. If on cognition, you'll need to be on the version you were on when you made the backup and restore there.
Here's the link I found on how to return to stock rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
I've done the first part - before the master reset and then tried restoring the backup and that is how I got to where I am right now.
Do I need to factory reset as well?
If I do factory reset, won't that erase the backup file?
Thanks. I really appreciate your help

To answer your question, doing the master clear will erase EVERYTHING stored in the phone's internal memory. Don't do that step now, as you should be able to get out of where you are without doing that.
I think where your problem occurred is that at some point you made a nandroid backup in CWM, and by trying to restore that on stock, it's freaking out. If you can remember what ROM setup you had on your phone when you made the backup, you could try to get back to that setup to use the restore option in CWM.
Before doing any of the things you're doing now, had you made a backup in Titanium Backup?
I do have backup made with Titanium Backup.
apps data and everything that I could backup with Titanium Backup
Will restoring what I had backed up with Titanium Backup and then restoring the system using CWM work?
I am currently at 2.2 Froyo, which was the rom I was using when backing up using CWM
You've flashed 2.2 stock? If so just flash the rom you previously had with cwm then let it boot. After it boots reboot into cwm then perform a restore in cwm. If that doesnt work nand backup might not be good and you will just have to flash stock again and just rub tibu and leave it at that.
**Thing about NAND backups is that you have to use the same system when you restore (i.e. you nand backup usng cognition then you flash another rom when you nand restore its not going to boot).
Thanks guys for the suggestions!
My phone has been saved!
Is it possible to create a nandroid backup with a rooted device having a 3e recovery?
I would like to backup my ROM before I try to flash a different ROM or recovery on it.
I have seen links to a nice script: online nandroid backup (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620255) but unfortunately it seems, it too requires a CWM recovery.
Thanks,
Well, turns out it does support recovery 3e after sending emails to the creator who also solved some bug causing it not to work.
Thanks to Ameer Dawood. I haven't actually tried to restore the backup (for that I have to get the CWM recovery). but it does make the backup now.
Trying to restore my HTC One using a Nandroid backup.
Before i try to experiment i just wanted to confirm on the process
boot into recovery
select back up restore option
select restore backup
select the backup you wish to restore and let it do its thing
then reboot
Iam running on cwm recovery v6.0.3.6 so i hope i need to place the file in/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/filename.zip.
can some one please confirm me on the same ?
Thanks in advance.
