Go to CWM and restore your backup.
Agree with above, if created with CWM then use CWM once again to restore.
Cant it be made a single flashable zip?

You have to boot into recovery and use that to restore. It automatically extracts all files and does everything for you.
I think it has to be in /sdcard/clockwordmod/backup/
I think...

HELP!!

I restored a backed up rom in the recovery and now the phone wont turn on. It wont even enter recovery mode or download mode.
It doesn't do anything? No sign of life? What recovery are you using? You where trying to restore a nandroid?

Did you restore a Nandroid backup meant for a different phone?

It had 50% of battery life before it went off. i dont really know the name of the recovery but it has "sK8" in it. i flashed it with ODIN. And no, I restored i backup i made myself on my own phone.
If you don't mind satisfying my curiosity, which ROM was the backup made of?

I'm pretty sure it was AOKP.
Are you using an I727? Just curious cause I saw you had a post in the T Mobile section.

Go into recovery mode and choose 'backup and restore', you can make a backup from there.
I recommend you to use 'Titanium Backup' to make a backup of your data+apps.
