I know that. I moved the backup on the computer and when I put it on my sd so I could restore it. It didn't work it says no file found do you know where I can download the Original Stock Rom and when i try starting it up it go's to a black screen with a green arrow pointing towards the found then it goes to the phone with a red triangle with a red exclamation point. What is that?
If your backup is not recognised you have put it in the wrong folder i think. So tell us, where the files are on your sd card.

+1 on that, if you have one it'll be recognized as long as it is in the right folder, and made with the same recovery.

So i put the backup in the CWM folder but it tells me no file found so what do I do? Can I go to some website to download the original stock Rom and kernel I need to fix my phone asap so can you please tell me exactly what I need to do. Plus what are those symbols i describe in my last reply. Thanks so much for assisting me I appreciate it.
The files must be in folder: clockworkmod/backup/2013-04-01.18.46.58
The last folder is the date it was created.
The symbols mean, your flash has failed.
What if that doesn't work

So as long as I put it in that file on my SD and open it up in CWM then it should work right?
I already did that once and it didn't work so what do I do then?
what are my other options I really need help thanks for everything you've done so far.
If your backup don't work, i know there is a Stock cricket jb back here in One SV Forum. Others flashed this successfully.
Otherwise i'm running out of ideas.

Okay so what do I do. Do i just move the Nanadroid file and where on my Sd. I leave it in zip form right ?
Then using fastboot I go ahead and open up CWM? Will it work on any version of CWD? Thanks so much for getting that file for me and what do I do after its flashed? Like as from being to end what are the steps sorry for all the questions but thanks for everything.
Unzip it. Go into Clean JB Crkt 2.04.1050.3 folder and copy the clockworkmod to your external sd.
Then boot into cwm and choose restore and choose the backup.

Hey man I download that file but its not in zip its in Rar. so I just move the file on to my external sd out in the open not in a folder and I opened up my CWM from the install zip from sd card and that didn't work then I went to restore and it could find the file both times so how do I install it? Do I have to put it in a certain folder or something? It keeps saying no file found. Thanks
Don't copy the zip directly.
What you could do is make a backup, see where it is on your sd, replace it with the one from the zip and then restore that one.
So Noob17_Me, flash this rom from here.

Yea but what im trying to say is that the file I downloaded isn't in zip form. So how am I supposed to install it on CWM?
Sorry but what is so difficult to understand? The rar is not for flashing, its a cwm backup and if you unrar it you have a folder Clean JB Crkt 2.04.1050.3, inside you find a folder clockworkmod.
This clockworkmod folder you have to copy to SD, like it is and and boot into recovery and choose "restore".
And my zip is made from this backup, so it are the same files!

So I got a phone with cryogen7 or whatever from my friend. I want to make it completely stock again. I dont have his sd card. so I just have mine from another phone. I downloaded the stock g2x gingerbread file, but when I try to restore it, i get a md5 mismatch or something. I saw a thread on that but I dont know how to write code. just hoping someone could help me out. thank you.
Download it again, also try another browsee

Download the V21E nandroid from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196019
Then use your computer to extract the folder from the zip file you download. Copy that folder to the sdcard on your phone, and place it in the ./clockworkmod/backup directory. Then boot into clockworkmod recovery and select backup/restore > restore and then choose the backup folder you just copied to your sdcard. Make sure to do a full wipe/factory reset from within clockworkmod before you reboot or you might get a bootloop.
If you want stock recovery then use tga gunmanns one click app in the development section to restore stock recovery. Then you'll be 100% unrooted stock again.

Nandroid backups aren't flashable zips. With the files from the thread i linked to, you have to extract the backup folder from the zip before you restore it. But yes, you are correct that spaces in the name of the backup create issues.
Did you figure it out yet?

it freezes on "checking md5 sums"... don't know what to do
Are you using your computer to extract the V21E folder from the zip file? Ive used my phone before to extract it before and gotten the md5 mismatch error, and then used my computer to do it and it worked fine.
are you sure the rom your using is for your phone?
[Q] how to install a .zip that contains only "META_INF" & "SYSTEM"
Hey
i am new to android phone (i mean i just started playing with system level)
can anyone tell me how to install a .zip file that contains only META-INF and SYSTEM folders.

First of NEVER unzip a rom file if you plan to flash it, because that breaks the signature. You need to go and download it again, and this time leave it zipped.
YOU MUST BE ROOTED!
You will flash it with something called ROM manager. For the atrix2 you will need to go to the development section and get the Atrix2 bootstrap from Here.
You might want to do a little googling about flashing android ROMs to get a little better idea about it. Also NEVER install a ROM for the Atrix2 that you did not get from the Atrix2 development section on here.
There is no linux knowledge needed to flash ROMs.

You have to make sure you turn signature checking off in the advanced menu to make that happen though. I have been down that path too many times, and forgot that.

LOL... I just have ROM kitchen do it, if you do the interactive it will ask at the very end if you want to sign your rom... It defaults to yes, so technically it takes longer to type n then return.... LOL...
I have my way that I call the ROM kitchen that does it all without asking me anything, and it zipaligns, deodexes, converts the update/updater-script (let's me make any edits), then creates the ROM, and signs it. I just scripted it all. I also have another one that creates the workspace and converts any image files/fxzs for me and turns them into working folders.
thanks

So what is the best way to back it up?
Please don't tell me to copy and paste it with a file manager
I hate to tell you this. Copy it with a file manager then transfer it to your computer. It's how you do it.
Honestly I've never had success backing up the efs folder. Every time I tried with any file manager it always failed to copy the IMEI.

Use Super Manager. I've restored mine with it before.
tar or cpio -- Using zip or anything related to Windows, especially a text editor, is just asking for trouble.
# cd /efs
# tar cvf /sdcard/my_efs_backup.20120816.tar .
then copy my_efs_backup.20120816.tar off your microSD and put it somewhere safe
Jeff... I'm not a Linux guy more of a Windows guy but am I suppose to put that in the terminal on the phone? And hechoen aren't there folder permissions involved when you put back the file?
I know there are apps that backup your efs but can I use them? Also somewhere in a thread there is a flash able zip that backups your efs, can it work with ics
I spent a few bucks and bought root explorer...no problems.

Yeah and it also seems that its the only file explorer without the bloat. Its pretty expensive for a simple file explorer.
But well worth it
I find adb a lot easier than the terminal on the phone. It's useful for pushing a file or two to the phone or vice versa without unmounting the microSD. Free too!

Any rom that installs with my aroma installer like most gb roms and a few ics roms make an efs backup in /sdcard/aroma-backup for you.
Also any ics rom that has used the cm9 update.sh script team acid made will back it up for you during the rom install (cm9/aokp).
But how about that flash able zip file from cm7 that backs up your efs folder?

The reason I want to back it up is because I want to flash back to stock using heimdall and there are those times that something could go wrong.

Nope. The folder already has the correct permissions. All you need to do is stitch the system to read/write then paste it back in place. I have used this method so I know it works. I do agree with Jeff though. If you know how to use adb it's a sure fire way to go. Just most users are clueless about it.

i've rooted my P6210 Samsung Tab and am trying to install the CWM. i saw there was a "free" version of Odin and d/l the .apk. They also mentioned that i needed to d/l the KernelFlash as well, which i have.
Does anyone know where i need to place these files on my Tab so that i can run Odin and install CWM?
Thank you for any help you might be able to provide and have a great evening!
Edit: This post was originally posted in the wrong forum, but i've been set straight. Hopefully this is the right place.
Just install both apks (mobile odin + flash kernel). Unzip the flash kernel.zip first

Have a wonderful afternoon and thanks again for hh helping.
It should open a file browser when you click the partition you want to flash and show only files that are right for the selected partition. For example if you want to flash whole stock firmware you should tap the "open file" and then browse the .tar or .tar.md5 file and it sets up the right partitions for flashing, corresponding on what the chosen file contains.
Make sure to select right partition if you want to flash for example only kernel or data etc., because you won't see "wrong" files for the selected partition, like you can't flash kernel if you have selected data partition.

Rename the CWM IMG file to recovery.img. Tap the "Open file..." option to find and select the recovery.img file. Mobile odin should associate the IMG file with the proper partition automatically. So, after you've selected the IMG file, yould would see it under the listing for Recovery. Then tap "Flash firmware."
Hey, guys, thanks a lot! That last one - rename to recovery.img - did it. Yea, one happy camper! Now we have CWM.
i see that you are using the CM 10 Unofficial. Is it working alright? If so, do i need to erase/format cache/davlik before flashing? i've forgotten. i've got the most recent on my G2 and very happy with it. Just got a G2 for our daughter and will be trying to root and flash it as well but it needs to be charged first.
Again, thanks a million - i had a hunch that renaming was what was required.
Have a wonderful evening!
Never mind / just found this: " Flash from ClockworkMod Recovery. Make sure to wipe data/factory reset. Back up apps using Titanium Backup or GoBackup, and do a nandroid before flashing!" That should do it. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30813335&postcount=216)

Well, first of all, download both .zips and place them on the root of the SDCard. Don't extract the content of the zips. Then reboot into recovery and do a factory reset and format /system and /custpack from mounts and storage. Then go back and choose install zip from sd card and select the A5 one. After installing boot-up and then go back into recovery and flash the A5-1 zip. Boot-up and you`re done.
Thanks for the info. I've managed to install it, but now the phone won't find my bluetooth headset... dammit!
