First of all, forgive my sluggishness as i didn't use TWRP to backup the previous rom and flash the new one.. I used clockworkmod..
So now other than having /0/ folder, i can't restore the backup because cwm recovery can't find it..
But apart from that im still fine with this aosp rom.. I was going to give it a try after all..
So what are my options? Is there a way to get cwm to read the backup?
Or, If that's not possible, if i flash twrp recovery then use it to cleanly flash a TW based rom, can it read the new storage format?
EDIT: i had the CWM backup copied to my SDcard, it restored fine now, carry on
Mod please close..

I remember seeing over in the Dev. forums that CWM recovery isn't restoring the kernel properly when people try to restore their backup of the stock ROM
Does this happen with TWRP as well? Or is the issue with the stock ROM / Kernel?
I'm hesitant to try CM9 and would like a clean way to recover to the stock ROM without having to use the downgrade method and reinstall everything.

From what I read in the CM9 thread someone had the same issue when using TWRP.
Nandroids don't include the kernel i believe it must be restored seperately
It should, wouldn't that be in boot.img? I know on my Droid Inc I have gone between sense and aosp backups, both using different kernels.

I'm currently on jb and I'm trying to go back to ICS. But every time I try to flash it I get stuck on the boot image? Do I have to flash ICS boot loaders?

Are you trying to restore a nandroid backup or just install an ics ROM? Which ROM are you trying to go to?
I went from JB back to slim and remics. I had to make sure I wiped everything, and I did a fresh install instead of a restore.
When moving from a newer rom to an older rom you usually have to flash twice. In your case once from the JB CWM and then again from the ICS CWM.
I had same problem. I do full wipes and flash ICS.

I made it so:
1) Flashed Semaphore ICS kernel with Odin
2) Viped data and cache
3) Restored nandroid backup with Semaphore CWM
4) Restored apps with Titanium backup
I just recently installed an official cyanogen mod for my phone and I wanted to restore my system, files, everything.
Don't get me wrong though.. I tried using Nandroid Backups I back it up before flashing, installed the rom properly after flashing.
My problem is, what should I use in restoring my system files without reverting back to my old rom?
Thanks.

I do not understand you. Make a backup in CWM and then when you want to restore the ROM, in CWM make a restore.

Okay imagine this.. My current rom is cyanogen by tj styles and i wanted to use the official cyanogen rom.
So what I did, I backed up my files using CWM and tried to flash another rom (official cyanogen) . When I did successfully, I tried restore using CWM and after that.. I'm only back to my old rom. (cyanogen by tjstyles)
So my question is, how can i switch to a new ROM without losing my files?

Only system apps will give fc if you restore them + their data...
On most roms, normal apps will not give fc...
They fc the most if the rom has some memory hack implemented...

I used a mod ROM but I made a backup before doing that. The problem is that I use now CWM recovery (6.0.1.2) and I cannot restore the stock data. I get "Error while flashing boot image". I do not know what I am doing wrong
I go to restore from internal sdcard --> and I choose the restored backup
I have wiped all the data/cache & dalvik cash available. But still nothing. Does anyone know?
Did you use a different version of CWM recovery when you took the backup? If so it might have a different version of nandroid backup in it and be using a different backup format. If the CWM recovery is different, can't you put the original CWM recovery back on so the backup will restore with it?
Unfortunately I do not remember which recovery version it had but I am almost certain that it was the same version

An easy way to tell is to think about if you ever installed a new recovery. ROMs don't do that for you. ROM Manager has the ability to update your recovery image if you tell it to do so.
Your error is telling you that the recovery you have installed doesn't know how to handle the backed up boot.img. You could removed the boot.img from the backup and try restoring it again. Google it, if you don't know how to do that.
Does the MD5 check pass?
I just installed 4EXT Recovery, and it was able to restore my recent CWM recovery backups where CWM could not (>10,000 files bug). It appears that it doesn't support your device yet, but you never know.
Failing that, perhaps look at other alternatives. Maybe see if TWRP can restore CWM recovery backups, and if it supports your device.
Good luck.
Hey guys, I've been using CW Recovery Version 6.0.1.0 (Installed from Ez Recovery) for about the past week or so, and have started getting errors where CWM can't restore the data, cache, system, or boot from any of my four back ups. (One on stock rooted/unlocked, one on Pac Man, one on Galaxy Mod with stock JB kernal, and the other on Galaxy Mod with the lean kernal.)
After falling victim to the repeating "0" folder, and large file sizes for blobs, I decided I'd give TWRP a try. (Note, at this point, CWM was able to restore all of my backups.) So I flashed TWRP 2.2.0.0 from Ez Recovery, and then re-installed Galaxy Mod, but realized I forgot to back up my apps and data. So, I reflashed CWM and now after having flashed TWRP and reinstalling (I did do all the system/cache wipes and formats) Galaxy Mod, CWM cannot restore any part of any of my backups, and AppExtractor doesn't recognize them, even though they are right there on the SDext.
Anyone happen to have an idea of what's causing these /system/cache/data/boot errors??
If you flashed TWRP and then reinstalled Galaxy Mod but forgot to back up your data the smart thing to do is boot into recovery and back up your data using TWRP. Also you just freaking replace CWM with TWRP so of course it won't restore it as you no longer have that recovery.
I guess I wasn't as clear as I thought. ;o
All my app data, sms, etc. is on my latest CWM backup. And I do know that you can't recover CWM backups, with TWRP, so I did in fact reflash CWM and even though I left all of the backups untouched, not even CWM can restore any of them. So, I can't just backup my data on TWRP if all of it is on a CWM backup. ;o

you can backup your CURRENT data on TWRP. I guess I wasn't clear as I said to backup your current setup. I don't recommend you using ez recovery to flash a custom recovery as it is outdated. All I can say is I didn't have that problem using the current version CWM recovery but did experience them using version 6.0.1.0.
Ahhh, gotcha.
Well, I'll try manually installing 6.0.1.0 (As I know CWM tends to be version specific) and also the latest version, just to see how things go. If it doesn't work, then well, I'll just rebuild everything from scratch. ;P
And thanks for the quick replies.
