When I try to restore my stock 2.3.3 it displays "MD5 Mismatch!"
Im on CM7 Right now
my poor friend i had this same problem and i ended up formating everything and loosing everything and would hate to have that happen to u i will answer ur question with a question
did u rename the backup? does it have a space in the name? is so rename it without the space and u should be fine for some reason having a space causes clockwork to spit out that error
reboot into cm7 and use a file explorer then go to /_externalsd/clockwork/backup and rename it there or if u formatted /system take the sd card out of ur phone and put it into an adapter then go to
/clockwork/backup rename the file then put back in phone then clockwork then factory reset clear cache/dalvik and restore u should be good

Actually he could flash the Drea file used to downgrade to 1.5 again to get stock after wiping his stuff.The recovery will also be replaced with a stock one.
Long story short I accidentally deleted my sd cards contents by partitioning it. I luckily have a CWM backup saved to my computer. So I just dragged the file to my sd card via my Mac. When I go into CWM and try to do an advanced restore I get "Couldn't open directory no files found". Simple fix if someone could tell me the proper name of the folder and where it needs to be. As always any help will get you a great big THANKS.
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
Thanks for that. In my desire to get organized I renamed the folder CWM Recovery. I'll put it back to normal and let you no how it goes.
ok np bro let me know how it goes
Worked like a charm. All my apps are back. Thanks for the quick reply. Must of been some pretty advanced artillery!
lol...nope just the good smell of that wolf pus**. (if your wondering, its an artillery thang)

WOW. My very first thread has come back from the dead. Sweet.
deeprocks,
Not really sure what your trying to do or what version of recovery your using. But for CWM it will always be under clockworkmod/backup. I am not familiar with your device but if you have internal and external storage the newer versions of CWM let you select where to backup too/restore from. Look into that. Also try asking this question in your phones sub-forum. Good luck.
I tried to flash 2.3.5 to my galaxy s 4g and it was a bad rom so I tried to put it back the stock+root ROM using ODIN. Now whenever I turn my phone on it just keeps rebootiing I have been trying to get it fixed but whatever I do it just seems to keep rebooting. Sorry if there is a fix and I didnt see it but its late and im very stressed now that my phone isnt working.....
What do you mean you flashed a bad ROM? Can you be more specific?
Try doing a battery pull and reflashing it in Odin.
yea, just follow the NOOBS GUIDE TO ODIN in the BIBLE. from there, you should be fine. instead of using KB5, i would recommend using Raver's KC1 (search for it). that will give you a fresh start.
Sorry I was really tired and stressed out last night but I got it to work finally. I just put 2.3.4 on it and it worked right away. I do have another question though. This is the first time I have ever actually flashed a ROM on my phone. Is there a way to get all the apps back that were on my SD card or do I have to re-download all of them? Also if I have to re-download all the apps is there a way I can get my saves back for the game?

I maybe be wrong. But your apps are saved on your phone. some off the data from these apps might be saved on your sd card, and some may not. In the future, prior to flashing a rom, in stall a program called titanium backup from the market. It will backup all your apps and data in one click to your sd card. then once u flash a new rom install TB first and restore those apps. they will all have there log ins, games will be where u left them, ect.
But for now, yes u have to use the market to restore the apps one by one.

I figured I would. I will see if I can look through the files and get any save files. Is it ok to re-format my SD card after saving every thing i need? Just so I can start off fresh?
you can back everything up by making a nandroid backup.
go into cwm, backup and restore and select backup. then when you want to restore after flashing a rom, go to backup and restore, then go to advanced and then restore data. that should do it

This is only to help me before I flash right? I'm kinda screwed as of right now and have to start from scratch. No big deal to me really just means I lost all my saved games. Is it ok to re-format my SD card right now?
if you reformat, you will lose everything on the sd...so its up to you. after you've flashed the rom, you can take it out and reformat and the rom will run fine, if that is what you mean.

Ya i know I will lose everything. I already backed up everything. But I have one problem. My phone won't let me click on re-format for the SD card. Should I use my comp to re-format it?
make sure you unmount it first. or you can boot into cwm and format the sd
First Go into Download Mode

So i wanted to go back to my stock Indian ICS firmware that i had backed up using CWM.
I was on Vanilla Rootbox 4.2.1 and wiped data,cleared cache and dalvik cache and then hit restore in CWM
Everything went smooth and booted up where I had backup up with same settings and everything
BUT
I lost all my pictures.ALL OF THEM
I dont know how!
I connected the phone using USB to check on the computer but they are all gone. Just the name of the folders and they are all empty.
Ive heard restoring doesn't touch any of the user files on SD card like pictures and videos.
Now what am I supposed to do?
Please Help!

Buddy, the pics are in .hidden folder is thumbnail stored in Sdcard.
So I think you have suddenly wiped the emmc or something.

No
I had purposely kept some pictures in a hidden folder so they dont show up in the gallery.
They are there
also before restoring there were two Clockworkmod folders in my SD card each containing a backup folder.
I deleted one and replaced the other one with my old backup
Did this cause the problem?
i dont think so

Nup buddy. CWM backup doesn't touch any SDcard item. I think there is something you did wrong coz of it all visible files were deleted.
OT: BTW, what kinda Images you store in Hidden folder..?? You naughty..

yeah I'm still trying to figure out where I messed up.
Anyway I found some of them on my PC. So have at least something
hahaa cant tell you
Anyway whats the standard procedure to do a CWM restore?
What I did was right? Because this was the first time I did a restore.
and I'm on CWM 4.0.0.2

Thx but i always do a full wipe before flashing... So all partitions are with space ... I dont know why my phone shows that.
i know you wipe every thing
but you have to go to the file of back up
and delete it manually by your self
just delete the file of back up that you don't need it
