[Q] What am i doing wrong? - clockworkmod backup failing

What im trying to do:
Use clockworkmod to create a backup of my phone
Specs:
Galaxy S 2 i9100
gingerbread 2.3.3
Rooted - via XWKDD_insecure.tar "method?"
Rom Manager 4.3.2.3
clockworkmod 4.0.0.2
Problem:
Ok, so i've ran "flash clockworkMod recovery 4.0.0.2"
(superuser permissions granted"
Then i try to "backup Current ROM"
the phone reboots into recovery and then i get this error:
imgur(dot)com/qtHZ7(dot)jpg
what am i doin wrong, also is there a better way to backup my rom
(im assuming with this backup i can flash back to it n my phone will be in the exact state it's in now??)
thanks in advance

flashed 4.0.0.5 seemed to fix the problem..

Used ClockWorkMod to create a backup of my phone 2.3.6 and restored from backup to make sure it works.
Flashed stock ROM 2.3.5, not happy with it and decided to go back to my updated 2.3.6 backup. After backup was restored, some apps are in grey and when tapped my Samsung Galaxy W says "Application is not installed in your phone."
How do I create a backup which includes all 64 apps installed or a mirror copy of everything before I experiment with different ROMs? TIA!

[Q] Safe to restore nandroid backed up with fake flash?

I have a kind of complex, quick question. After I rooted stock but before I flashed CM7 on my G2x, I followed the guide on the CM wiki for flashing clockworkmod recovery through ROM Manager and ended up "fake flashing" my phone back to factory settings. However, I made a nandroid backup first and then followed the guide here on XDA for flashing NVFlash using the NVIDIA drivers, and successfully flashed CM7. My question is, I want to go back to stock to upgrade to the OTA with the new baseband and was wondering if it's safe to flash that backup i made with the clockworkmod recovery that fake flashed my phone or if I should just play it safe and download the stock 2.2 rom listed on the guide here?

Thanks for your help.

I went ahead and flashed the backup in question and it seemed to work. I then reverted everything to stock (ROM, recovery, unroot), tried the LG updater which failed, bricked my phone (stuck on S/W Upgrade), followed the unbrick guide, and successfully got GB OTA running on my phone, so mods can close this thread.

[Q] On ics and restoring back roms

Hello,
As of right now I have root revolver (with nanadroid backup of it). I was considering installing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514658
Would I be able to use my nandroid backup of revolver to rollback if it's not what I expect? Also will I be able to unroot like you do in honeycomb (Install stock fw and recovery)? I'm a bit confused because people are telling me different things. Thanks

you have to nandroid backup then flash the rom that you were using when you did the backup or else you will bootloop

[Q] Stock Rom Nandroid Restore Boot.img

Hi, I've a Desire S, S-ON running CM7 and would just like to know if it's ok to flash the boot.img found in the nandroid backup of my stock rooted rom (after the stock rom restore). Or do I perhaps have to find another one?
If in case I need another, there was a dropbox link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1616741 [Collection | 1.26 & 1.28] Fastboot Pack v1.2 but 1st) I'm in China ATM and dropbox is blocked so can't download it and 2nd) I wouldn't know/don't understand what 1.26 or 1.28 are or how they correspond.
Any advice is appreciated

When you took a nandroid backup of your stock ROM, the boot.img would also be backuped up
Just do a nandroid restore and flash the boot.img in the nandroid backup from fastboot

Are you restoring a nandroid for an ICS rom within blue CWM recovery? If so, and if everything else flashed successfully, you can try flashing an ICS kernel image using Heimdall or Odin. If that doesn't work, then you have a borked nandroid restore and need to Odin or Heimdall back to stock Gingerbread and start over.
If you happen to be trying to restore a Gingerbread backup (which I don't think is the case, since you mention a boot.img), then you need to get back to red CWM recovery to restore the Gingerbread nandroid backup.

Download one of the MANY fine heimdall or Odin packages here. They are available in rooted or unrooted.
