alright, so I have tried to restore full backups and advanced restoring /data through CWM both through bhundven's kernel and drhonk's kernel and for some reason i've gotten the md5 mismatch error everytime...i have no idea what is causing it, anyone have any ideas?
I believe, not 100% sure, that only on bhunds kernel can you successfully do backups n restore through cwm so that might be why it isn't working with Dr.honks kernel

I'd be weary with the backup/restore function though. I wasn't able to do it on CWM 5.x.x.x. It sent my phone into a ridiculous bootloop, with no recovery, period. Had to reflash everything through odin. I've done backups before, so I know I didn't do anything wrong.

Bhundven's kernel is a cwm5 and it won't restore any backups made with drhonk's cwm3 kernel. He stated that in his OP somewhere. So any backups you make with cwm5, you can to a full image restore through cwm5. Hope this answers your question.

Right, the only limitation I know of with backup/restore on my new kernel is you have to backup with >= 5.0.2.7 and restore with >= 5.0.2.7. I'm still looking through bootable recovery changes to figure out what exactly changed so maybe we could make a version that supports both. But I'm not sure what the limitations of that would be.
You cannot restore a backup made with 3.0.2.8x.
If there is anything different you see, please report it.

Just want to make sure if the nandroid backup & restore is really working on Sensation with latest CWM since I have made a bunch of backups and I am heavily messing around with the phone for the past 48 hours lol... Just to be sure this backups are going to actually work in case I screw the phone...

Do remember that clockwork /nandroid restore will not restore the kernel. If you flashed a rom that's using a custom kernel, you will need to flash the stock kernel before trying to restore your backup or you will get stuck in a boot-loop.
Thank you both! Just wanted to confirm!

Yes, I'd love to know this along with how to get a copy of the original kernel....or is the kernel in the .zip files on the regional oem rom thread?
not working for me
You can find the stock kernel in the second post in the Android Revolution HD thread over in the development section.

isnt the boot.img the kernel and init stuff? i was under the assumption it was backed up when you do a nandroid on most devices (like HTC). the RFS file system samsung uses on their devices prevented us from backing up and restoring a boot.img file so we have to always have a kernel in case of the good ol boot loop
so to go back to stock kernel, i install it to the sd card then flash it in recovery right?

Yeap... That's how you flash a kernel, but not needed if what you want to do is restore from a nandroid backup... To restore just select the nandroid backup you want to restore. No need to flash any kernel prior restoring from nandroid.

since when do you have to reflash a stock kernel in order to flash your backup? I have tried every rom out here for the sensation didn't like any of them and reflashed my backup of stock with no issues....

This is not true. Nandroid contains the kernel image.
You would only have to flash a different kernel AFTER you restore, if you don't want to use the one that you backed up.
To the point, nandroid restore works perfect with 4.0.1.5 CWM. I confirm.
Getting mixed signals here guys. Does nandroid backup / restore the kernel?

Yes, there was a thread about this already. Same problem. I was on Valhalla black, tried a full restore, and for some reason everything stopped working. Couldn't get into restore or download mode without a jig or computer.
You can restore data only, or try to minimize your mistakes.

Known issue with 2. Not an issue with beta 3.
I was running a ROM versed on ulcb3 and using the entropy DD kernel. I just restored a nandroid backup to an L2 based ROM that was packaged with infusion-GB A2. I wiped prior to restore in cwm.
My settings now tells me I'm using the b3 baseband, and I can't tell what kernel I'm on. does a nandroid backup restore the modern and the kernel? I'm guessing kernel yes, modem no. Can anyone confirm?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
You have to flash the kernel you were using with the backup. I wipe data, flash the kernel that is supposed to be with my restore then ill do my nandroid restore. You then have to flash the modem that you want. Doing restores on the infuse is a little tricky at first.

On a similar note.... when switching between roms that are both nandroided, full wipe, cache, and dalvic are still necessary? I figured a nandroid restore would rebuild the whole phone to the snapshot that was taken at the time of backup......

When restoring a nandroid, you should only restore the data in the advanced restore option. Make sure to do wipes prior to flashing a new ROM.

Hi people. So before I try to flash a rom I would make a backup of my rom which is Embryo 6.1. I would probably go back to embryo after flashing a new rom like jellybam and when I try to restore it, it gives me an error when restoring the system. It would say error when restoring /system. I would have to restore a backup from an older clockwork mod and reflash embryo. I have tried reflashing clockwork mod but that didn't work. I also tried toggling /preload in misc nandroid settings but it still didn't work. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance

Make sure the recovery isn't looking for a md5 if you didn't create one in the back up.

Does anyone by chance have the MD5 file of the most recent CWM?
I've heard and seen tons of people linking to the site imnuts for it, but every time I go there, the site seems to of either been removed or changed for one of those quickly made search query sites...
Also, does anyone know if the Recovery will work on the lastest FP8A update? I was using a recovery from August and it's not going through for some reason... I figure something to do with how ODIN is signing the update on the device or something...
You have to flash it with auto reboot off and then boot straight into cwm and root. Then you can delete the file that overwrites cwm and flash cwm again.

You can get the 0302 version of CWM here. It's is what I installed on my phone just yesterday.

I also dropped my copy of Odin in as well. Everything worked as it should - EP4, FP1, FP5 and FP8.
Be careful restoring backups with that version though. By that I just mean it doesn't like to restore your nandroids. The Orange Text Version seems to work well for restoring though.

It is /system/etc/install_recovery.sh
Also the blue text cwm cant restore nandroids on RFS. On ext4 it will work fine.

Well, I never knew that about CWM. Never understood what the mounts were for. I thought they were to mount it on the phone. Now I see you can use them to edit your phone via PC. Yay for learning!
