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.

[Q] What am i doing wrong? CM10 back to Stock ROM

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?

[Q] Error merssage while restoring Nandroid backup

Can anyone tell me what, if anything, I should do about this error which appears after restoring a Nandroid backup? The phone seems to be working ok so far. I've done Nandroid backup and restore several times without errors before but obviously something has changed.
Error while restoring /sdcard/.android_secure!
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
I cannot see any file called "recovery log" in the /sdcard/clockworkmod folder. There is a file called "recovery-update.zip".
I tried uninstalling/re-installing ROM Manager and then making and restoring a new nandroid backup but the result was the same. The backups are to the internal sd card.
I'd be grateful for any advice. I tried trawling around the forums for some hours as this seems to be a widely discussed issue but cannot find any clear explaination of the cause or fix.

do you use an external sd?
check if there is a clockworkmod folder in that.

Yes, there is a Clockworkmod folder on my ext/sd card. I wanted to do Nandroid backups there but the option to Use External Storage is greyed out on the settings page.
Right now, the only Nandroid backup I have in on the int/sd card

which settings page ?
in CWM you need to go to backup & restore and choose backup (this will backup to external SD).. there is another option to select backup to internal SD

I'm using ROM Manager (Premium) and under the settings there's an option to use external sd card but it's greyed out.

Use CWM directly to make backups to your desired storage

Can you tell me where to get CWM? I can only see ROM Manager on the Google Play site. I understand that RM is really just a front end for CWM but I'd have assumed the functinality would be the same.
Thanks again for the reply

if you are having hydracore the cwm will be already there. It's a recovery. you need to boot into recovery mode.

[Q] ClockworkMod Backup Crash

In as few words as I can muster.
I recently tried to back up my current ROM CheckRomV6 using CWM. In attempting so the following occurs.

I need to get this fixed so that I can begin the progress change my rom. What is causing this? I'm thinking it's the kernel, but to be frank I really am at a loss. I'm still rather inexperienced with all this. Any suggestions? (I have searched.

You're probably using CWM or a ROM manager to do a backup
Try rebooting in recovery and use the option (Backup & Restore) to do a backup, use .tar format if available in the menu
Backing up the ROM doesn't require a safe kernel, but restoring a backup does
Best of luck

I just tryed that. Not. Good. This has officially gone over my current know how.
CWM won't let me select anything. Regardless if I scroll up or down ( to try to select Backup & Restore) The cursor moves... then the screen "blinks" black... and then my cursor is back where it originally was at (reboot). I need to make sure that this isn't a deeper problem before I flash something.
I am open for suggestions.

whats the kernel you on?

[Q] Broken rom after clockwork backup restore

I have installed custom rom from zip and used it for several weeks.
Today I have decided to try new rom and I have made a backup trough CWM (6.0.2.5) in format .tar
I have tried to restore the backup. but the phone gives me a really strange error.
Encryption Failed. The system .. bla bla bla ... you need to reset your phone ..
I have tried to factory reset trough CWM, but the problem is the same.
I have tried to restore older backup ... the same error ...
Any ideas what is the problem and now to fix it (restore the rom)

I have tried the following ..
1. format /system /cache / data
2. install custom rom (CivZ v3.0)
3. take the setup wizard
4. reboot into recovery (CWM 6.0.2.5)
5. backup (.tar format)
6. restore from the backup
and .. the same error and no working rom ..
Can this be an internal SD memory problem ?
Any ideas ???

Anyone

Try backing up to external SD card. If that works, or you dont have an external SD card, backup and repartition your internal SD using AIO toolkit (choice 4 in the toolkit, then select the new unlocked ICS bootloader, and 512 MB system partition, or whatever your preferred size is, then run the internal SD fixer which follows that step) and try again.

The backup is on external SD
I have already repartitioned the internal SD with the default ICS layout (1.5G system)

Then try backing up to the internal SD and also try changing recovery to TWRP.

I have already tried TWRP but it cannot restore CWM backup
Currently I have stock rom , but I cannot rollback to the previous rom backup.
a few days ago I have used some app (found here in XDA) for optimizing internal SD .. is it possible this app to broke something in the internal SD ?

Hi! I assume that you were using the stock ics rom. Right? Stock ics use system partition as ext4 but data and cache are used as ext3. Since TWRP and CWM format data and cache as ext4 you cannot use your old backup of stock ics rom, unless you format both (data and cache) to ext3.
I created a zip which converts data and cache to ext3. Download from my attachment.
Flash the zip file then restore your backup.

Thanks :victory:
