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 going to flash the Honeybread theme so I went into recovery and did a backup. I flashed the theme but my bottom bar was missing (due to the fact that I did a metamorph to remove the clock from bottom bar). I booted back into recovery and did a restore to the backup I did today. It went through the whole process and when it booted up it wanted me to go through a setup. What happened?
ATM I'm doing another restore to June 29th. Hopefully that works. I'm going to be pissed because it took me a while to set all my stuff up.

What version of ClockWorkMod are you running? Did you get it from RzoMManager?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
No. It's the Clockwork from solarnz. I restored another backup and it was fine. I have to fix it like I had it before but at least I don't have to start over.
I hate CWM. I wish we had AR on the Xoom.

Hear hear! The absence of the terminal in recovery is a GLARING OMISSION.
I just had the same thing, recovery using the latest from solarnz 3.2.0.0. rc4 100611 and have no apps. will try an older backup
edit: an older backup I had worked, odd

CWM sucks but it's all we have.

Hey guys,
I think the new CWM allows backup and restore? I used it to backup my current rom, but can anyone verify whether there are still issues when attempting to restore backups? Last thing I need is to brick my charge.
Thanks guys!
Is working

Have you successfully restored using the BLUE font CWM?

I could not get restore to work but it didn't brick my phone either. From what I've heard some people have had it work tho.
Is this the CWM from the Android Market? And, if so - Am I supposed to let CWM rewrite the Recovery Mode like I did on my Moto Droid?
Sooo hoping backup and restore is working, I know he didn't test it completely but that certainly doesn't mean it wont work :] Post in this thread if it worked for you!
I just installed cwm and did a backup before rooted. And was having issues tethering and wanted.to revert back. I went into cwm and attempted a restore. And it failed saying could not unmount /system. Then it froze. Next time i booted to cwm it booted in a basic mode with only options to reboot or apply update.zip
This is my first experience modding a Samsung phone i just upgraded from my droid 1. phone is working and plan to do more this weekend when i have more time to explore.

I am having the same issue as witmore. I can create a backup but it has issue with /system. It doesn't brick the phone but I would like to make a good backup incase things go bad one day.
Is the Market CWM working properly for backups and restores yet? I really want to try some new ROMs ...
The market app still does not work.

Bummer!
Is there any other method out there that can do a full backup / restore for a rooted Charge yet?
Try OdinMaker by P3Droid. It is 2 bucks on the market. I believe it works fine.
I cant get OdinMaker to reliably finish.
I saw somewhere on here that CWR backup works but to restore you have to reflash (Odin) your rom, kernal and recovery. Then in CWR you do an advanced restore and do /data only. I have not confirmed this works.

The advanced restore worked for me. Thanks for the info. Much needed. Started to lose it for a little bit.

Try 0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5
The imnuts cwm 0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5 works very well. IT is is stable the only issue is lagfix ext4 does not work. However this may not be a cwm issue but rather a kernel issue. Dan
does anyone have a link for this new CWM?

blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
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!

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?

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
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
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.
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.
