I went into recovery, wiped data/factory reset and cleaned my caches then went to restore my nandroid for mb1, but it said the md5 failed and couldn't restore it, so I rebooted the phone and now it's back to complete stock/unrooted. Is there a way to fix it and be able to restore my nandroid, or do I have to start fresh? I lost all my pics and apps, it's there a way to restore those?

What rom were you on originally before your nandroid restore failed? Can you find any of your pics using a File Explorer? Lastly, how did you verify that you have lost root: did you look in /system/xbin/su or download an app such as Root Checker to verify you have lost root?
I was only stock rooted. Was on the newest md3, and like I said I did all the wipes in CMW then went into restore backup and selected my nandroid of mb1 and pressed ok, but it said the md5 was mismatched. Couldn't figure anything out so I did a reboot and it was like a new phone.....no superuser, titanium backup wouldn't get SU permissions and it would only boot into stock recovery. Plugged the phone into laptop and saw the nandroid on the sd card but not sure how to reroot and fix the nandroid

The best I could suggest if you are truly unrooted is to re-root and unlock using Open1your1eyes0 thread in the dev section. I'm not well versed in the md5 mismatching for a nandroid failing unless you changed the name of the nandroid after it was completed?

Yes I just checked with rootchecker and it says I lost root. I did rename the CWM nandroid, but I've done that before on my wife's phone and it restored fine.. I'm downloading the files from the thread you listed above as I write. I had Tibu installed before, so that should be enough to restore my lost apps/pics/etc once I Odin back and gain root again?

Yea, try not to do that with CWM. I suggest using TWRP if you want to name backups since it allows you to do so natively. TWRP and CWM nandroids are not compatible so if you do switch, I suggest (if you can) restore your VRBMB1 nandroid using CWM, make a new backup using TWRP, then delete the entire CWM folder from your phone/sdcard.
I haven't done this before but you could see if this process works for you. If not, then start fresh via Odin and use TWRP so this doesn't happen again.
If you can still see the files using a file explorer, then TB should be able to locate and restore them if you know how to make it scan the entire device.

I realize that now! Going through the Odin process now, then custom recovery and unlocking the bootloader. By glancing at that link, it says that using different versions of CMW causes this issue. Go figure. Ugh

Hi,
Soooo.. I flashed CM7 for the first time ever..... woo hoo. but now all my apps, and everything from the stock are gone. Is there a way to load everything from stock onto the CM7? I tried doing a restore from NVFLASH but that just brought back the stock so how do I just keep everything the same but running the CM7.
Thanks guys

Well, if you had made a nandroid before you flashed, and could restore it (not sure when you did with NVflash), you would have everything back on your last ROM (you did not specify what ROM you were on).
You could then try just wiping dalvek and cache and formatting /system and flashing the ROM over it. That works OK most of the time. as you are clearing out the System partition but retaining your date (make sure you flash gapps also).
Another option is to wipe everything, and then flash the ROM, gapps, and then date only with advanced recovery.
Depending on what ROM you are coming from, that could carryover some issues - but most of the time it works OK.
If you did not have a backup of your data, then you will have to rebuild it from scratch in any case, so you might just as well do it on a clean install of CM7.
Well I did make a backup but when I restore its not cm 7 anymore so using nv flash how can I restore all the apps and messages, etc onto the cm7?

Have you tried titanium backup? Restore your old Rom with the apps. Back them up using TI to the external sd card. Do the usual stuff to load a new rom and restore your apps using TI. That's how I do it.
Some also like google restore, but I like having a hard copy for myself.

Restore your original stock rom with all the apps. Root using the one-click-method. Install TI. Backup your apps to the sd card. Now flash your favorite rom. Install TI on the new rom. Restore your apps from the TI backup you made on your sd card.
It should work.
Although on CM7 I had a couple of issues restoring certain apps. I think it has something to do with how CM7 names different partitions.

Sounds like your options are wipe or stay stock.

I might have an idea but you'll have to do the research.
Boot into CWM and connect USB to your computer. You may be able to copy your /data/app folder to your computer using ADB commands, then restore them the same way. Might work, might not. Never done it that way. And this will probably only backup the apps, not the data (savegames, etc.).
As I said earlier, you can restore data only with recovery/advanced restore.

Yes, restoring /data only from the advanced restore menu in CWM may work. But I think that will restore all system data as well which may cause FC frenzy. Definitely worth a shot!

I think ill just wait until gingerbreak or superoneclick are available on the update then I'll root it, back up with titanium, and restore after i flash cm7.
btw. If I do a wipe, and then go d/l the apps i paid for again will it recognize that ive already paid for em or would i have to pay again?

G2X CM7
Well so I took screen shots of all my screens and app drawer and just downloaded all my apps again. Then I restored the SMS from the SMS Backup and now everything is the same just running CM7. First time Ive flashed a rom woo hoo.
us my backup from the market. back up everything, then wipe, flash new rom, then download my backup from market, then restore your stuff.
Can any one tell me what i did wrong?
I used a I727UCALC4_OneClick package to flash my at&t i727 to android 4.0.3. For some reason my home button and search button did not work so i said to return back to stock.
I flashed the phone with SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane thru ODIN to return to stock 2.3.5 . I then tried to do a OTA update to 2.3.6. The update downloads and starts installing , reboots the phone and fails to finish.
Any help please ? Thanks
I tried doing this myself last night. Remember you will lose your root once taking it to 2.3.5, so re root using Odin, then, reboot. Then follow the root instructions as outlined by user k0nane here at xda. Then get into clockwork mod recovery mode and restore to the backup version you did of 2.3.6...much easier process than trying to flash stock. Hope that helps.

You might have renamed the backup, the backup might be corrupt, or you did the backup with a different version of cwm than you are trying to restore it with.
If this helps I got here a copy of my mhx lite 2.3.6 I made before going to 4.0.3

so cwm doesnt restore a backup if it was not made with the same cwm version ?

Its mhx superlite 3.1 but if the rom will work you can later on flash whatever you want. Atm you seem to be stuck with an unusable phone so anything is better.
Go to sammobile.com
make an account
go to firmware section
type i727 in the box
scroll down and download the tar
extract with 7zip
Flash in odin
Then drink beer and such
i was able to flash tru cwm a att rom that worked. Everything works ok now.

I believe the restore wipes automatically...I could be wrong though. I haven't had to restore a rom in months.
It does. Restore formats the partitions then restores to them.
restoring stock rom without backup
Speaking of restoring through recovery, Is it possible to restore my phone to stock rom without the back up? If not, then RUU to stock 1.85 is the only way right? I installed a new rom yesterday, and I decided to wipe everything including SD so I basically erased my stock rom backup.

The best thing for you to do now is restore via the RUU to stock.
Once you have that done you can go ahead and flash other ROM's

Right on! I am just curious just in case I need to send my phone back for warranty.. thanks!
I'm having issues backing up my Verizon S3. It is rooted with an unlocked bootloader (not sure if that helps), and I'm just trying to backup the stock ROM. I am seeing that the backups I create are only 22 MB in size (clearly not right). I've tried making the backups through ROM Manager as well as CWM, with the same results. There's no failure in making the backup, but when I go to restore it, I'm getting the message "error while restoring /system". When I boot my phone after this, it gets stuck on the Samsung screen. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong with the backups? Really trying to avoid having to use Odin to put the phone back to stock. Thanks!
Thats because the latest cwm uses a blobs folder to store most of the backup. This process allows back up and restore to complete much faster.
Interesting...so how do I get the data from these files to restore?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
it should restore like you did it normally...i missed part of your post about failing to restore. Which version of cwm are you using? 6.0.1 is recomended and works for everthing currently flashable on our device.
Oh duh...I'm trying to restore to a different device. I need to copy over the blob folder too...that's where I screwed up. Thanks!

I apologize for bringing up an older thread, but I figured I'd tag my problem onto an existing thread versus creating my own.
I have a sch1535, and yesterday I got it rooted again after losing root with the Jelly Bean update. I then thought that Liquidsmooth looked like a great first ROM to try out. So, I ran Titanium on all my apps and data, saved my texts, and created a nandroid with CWM. Then I flashed Liquidsmooth, looks cool and seems like a great ROM, but I found I'm one of the few who actually like the stock samsung rom (I know, I know...). So, I went back into recovery only to find that I no longer have CWM, but instead TeamWin. I have no idea when the switch occurred.
I read that I can't use TeamWin with my existing nandroid backup, so how do I switch back from Teamwin to CWM without screwing anything over?

Your easiest bet is to use the EZ Recovery app on the market. You can flash back to CWM using it and your backups will still be there. Aside from a version difference you should still see your backups in CWM.

Yeah or you could download rom manager from the play store its compatible with both twrp and cwm so if you have them both flashed then just switch back to cwm. All your backups are on your internal SD so unless you wiped your storage you're good to go.
