I am unable to do a nandroid backup
At the last part of the backup, it gives me the
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
Generating md5 sum...
Error while generating md5 sum!
I am also unable to partition my SD card from CWM.
I just formatted my SD card, didn't help.
Any solution?
Thanks !

Bye.

If you check you backup directory, you'll notice it doesn't have the file "nandroid.md5".
In order to restore your backup, you can create this file manually.
You can do this throught Terminal Emulator.
Code:
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/(name of backup directory)
md5sum *img >nandroid.md5
This will create the file and you should be able to restore the backup in CWM.

This is my story.
- I followed this video (below) to ROOT (SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse) my phone.
in youtube search for: Rooting and installing custom ROM (LG Optimus 2x) HD by TheCooLuka
- Then I made a backup file on my Internal SD card as well as on my External SD card using CWM v.6.0.15. (There was a Clockworkmod folder containing: Backup and Blobs folders)
- I don't know if I did something wrong in this next step. I moved all of my files from my Internal and External (including the CWM files) to my computer. So that my phone's External and Internal SD cards were "empty".
- I then flashed to CM10, which worked great, except for the sound and mic probs.
- Now, I'm trying to return my phone to the stock ROM. I tried to flash my phone by re-importing the Clockworkmod folder (containing: Backup and Blobs folders), and running the Restore option in CWM, but it ends up BOOT LOOPING.
My question is how do I get back to my Stock ROM with my saved backup? What steps am I doing wrong?
(I'm with the Canadian carrier = FIDO, and I'm able to restore back to CM10, but I just want to figure this out)

Are you sure you Wiped Data/Dalvik/Cache? If that doesn't work, you'll probably have to NVFlash it back to stock.

u have to wipe all of the above before restoring. (from cm to stock)
also wipe system which u can found at mount option would be better.
Then restore your backup from external sdcard or u would end up boot loop.:laugh:

I tried what you suggested. This is what I did:
- Moved my backup folder of "clockworkmod" containing the two subfolders (backup and blobs) onto my external SDcard.
- Then I put the SDcard into the phone.
- Booted into CWM Recovery v5.0.2.0
- Wiped data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and wiped Dalvik cache
- Formatted system through the "mounts and storage option"
- Then tried to restore.
This is the following msg I got:
- Checking MD5 sums.....
- Restoring boot image...
- system.img not found. skipping restore of /system.
- data.img not found. skipping restore of /data.
- .android_secure.img not found. skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.
- cache.img not found. skipping restore of /cashe.
- Restore complete!
Were not these files created with CWM restore? Am i missing files? Help?
These are the files in the BACKUP FOLDER of CWM:
.android_secure.vfat.dup
boot.img
cache.ext4.dup
data.ext4.dup
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.ext4.dup
I upgraded my CWM Recovery back to v6.0.1.5. and tried reflashing, but it still ends up bootlooping..
Concerning the following message, I read that sometimes you had to format (slow) the sdcard. So I did both (reformat sdcard and tried to flash with CWM v6.0.1.5), it doesn't give me the message any more, but it stilll bootloops. So I'm back on CM10 backup.
Checking MD5 sums...

Any ideas?
Hi all !
I had OmniRom installed, and after trying to go back to my stock ROM via a CWM backup I had, I cannot restore backups from my external SD card anymore.
Whenever I try to restore a backup (either a newly made one or an old one), I have "error while restoring /data". The WM lock says "can't partition non mmcblk devide /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc1".
Backing up to the internal card and then restoring works.
I tried to move a backup from the external card to the internal card and then restoring, but it did not work (same error).
Any idea where this might come from ?
How can I solve this ?
Thanks !

Answering my own question : after reflashing boot.img from FXP250, restoring my backup worked ! I thought it was the one I had restored in the first place, but obviously I was wrong !
I made a backup with ROM manager yesterday, and I need to restore it. Unfortunately, when I try to restore it I get an error message: "MD5 mismatch".
Is there any way I can restore it?
Problem mis-stated, and fixed
Opps! After further analysis, it turned out that the problem I asked about was not really the problem I was having. I learned something new, so I am posting it here.
I had copied my good backup into the root of my external SD card, and ClockworkMod was not finding it. Apparently, ClockworkMod looks in this directory:
/clockworkMod/backup
It was finding an aborted backup with a bad MD5 in that directory. I put the external SD card in my computer, and copied the good backup into the directory above, re-inserted the external SD into my phone, and I was able to restore my system.

Hello guys , i have a problem with backup restoration on my z1. I made a few days ago a full backup on my ext sd card (everything went well) and now when i try to restore it the recovery only restores a part of that backup . The backup is 3.8gb but it only restores about 3 gb and at the end i get this error "volume not found skipping restore of sd-ext error" , the phone boots up but the launcher and a lot off apps are missing . I tried to copy the backup folder by phone and pc to the internal sd card of the phone but i can't because i get an error. how i can restore the backup and what can be the problem? My bl is locked and i used xzDual recovery 2.8.21 and 2.8.23 but i get the same error when restoring. I don't have another sd card to test this. Any help is good.
Error: volume not found skipping restore of sd-ext error
Have you tried mounting the drive that gives the error manually before starting restoring?

Is it possible that you try to backup to the micro sd card?
If so, try to backup to internal storage.
