Well I have been a CWM(and sometimes also TWRP) user for years. But I am stumped. I recently started having issues staying connected to AIO/Cricket(voice not even staying connected). As I am running a custom ROM I decided to try Stock and see if the problem persists, thus it may be a hardware issue with the radio or something. So I did a current backup, and restored one from a few weeks back. It's the same ROM but I thought it was worth a shot. It restored fine but the problem persisted. Then I decided to restore my new backup from the hour before. It failed. Gave me an MD5 Mismatch error(I think I have that right). So I made another new backup, same thing. I am unable to restore any backups made right now. I can still restore the one from a few weeks ago. I am running the very latest CWM touch. I tried flashing TWRP to see if that might help(using Rom Manager to do so). This has always worked before. It said that it works, and even tells me it's rebooting into TWRP when I reboot to Recovery. But the broken version of CWM is still what is loading. I am at a loss here.
your issue here is that you are using rom manager. rom manager doesnt fully work, it is broken, stop using it. you can flash a new recovery the right way, via fastboot. you can also flash twrp using the flashify app(yes, it works).

btw, i highly doubt that twrp will be able to restore a cwm backup. but if you have space on your device, it should at least create a backup.

First thing I did. I was able to backup with TWRP. Since I am currently running the restore from that NANDROID from a few weeks ago, it's all good! I am restoring the TWRP i just made, just to be sure. Seems to be restoring fine though. With my NANDRIOD problem solved, I can work on getting this radio issue fixed. I am really hoping it's just ROM related and I can salve it by flashing something else. I'm going to flash STOCK and see if it persists now.

Actually one fast question, if I may. Would it be at all risky to flash the stock radio onto a custom ROM? That seems the easiest fix, if it is a fix at all. I downloaded the correct stock radio for my 820 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...-android-4-4-2-kot49h-rooted-busybox-t2557523
If I just flash it over Nikxus would there be a problem?

Don't use CWM 3.x for Nandroid backups! It will soft-brick your phone!
I found out the hard way Tried restoring a nandroid backup, everything looked alright, but when I went to restart it, it got stuck at the HTC screen (I waited for 30 min on one instance!). I reflashed, re-restored countless times all to no avail. I did a bit of research and apparently, CWM 3.0 doesn't fully support the older file system used by Froyo. It was designed for CM7/Gingerbread.
I ended up having to flash CM7 (which booted up right away), and using ROM manager to flash CWM 2.5.1.3. Went back into CWM, reflashed attn1's ROM and back to normal!
That must have increased the pucker factor tenfold

Your post of this, couldn't have come at a better time. Restored my nandroid backup, and got the HTC screen. Followed your instructions and got the backup working. On another note, CM7 is super fast and smooth!

You can flash CM7, but sound doesn't work Once the kernel source is released, we'll know what makes the Inspire work differently and it should be relatively simple to port the CM7 kernel over to the Inspire
It'll run, but no sound until we get a kernel made for it.
EDIT: Too late. Answered above. lol

Thanks for the info. Went ahead and proactively flashed a previous version before I needed to restore a back-up. BTW I love my G-Tablet, noticed in your sig you have one. I am running TnT Lite 4.23. Almost completely replaced my iPad now.

Yea I had one for a while, until the Wifi completely died out on me. No amount of ROM switching would bring it back so I just returned it
This saved my phone. Thanks.
i'm dealing with that pain right now... have 2 backups and neither worked. so based on the responses in this thread, my CWM 3.X backups are worthless! so that's helpful info, thanks for reporting this. in my case, i'll use CWM 3.X to flash my ROM get my apps back and then get 2.5.1.3/4 for nandroid backups.

Download CM7 then flash downgrade to the earlier clockwork. Then reflash the inspire rom. It took me 3 times for my rom to flash. Then nano and keep clockwork 2.5

thanks! good to know... i still have the backups. i ended up flashing a LeeDroid DHD ROM and Telus Kernel, then reinstalled all my apps and email accounts. i'll locate the 2.5.1.3 CWM and flash via fastboot, backup my current config and then try to restore a backup.
does anyone have a link to CWM 2.5.1.3/4?

2.5.1.4 didn't work for me either, try 2.5.1.3
Wish I would have read this before I installed other roms
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Hello,
I had the official version of ICS on my TF101 (the one with the locked bootloader).
I root, installed rom manager and flash recovery(5.5.0.4) -> backup performed.
Everything was perfect, however I wanted to try CM9 nightly build, I could install it without problem.
The CM9 wifi working on but the rom is not the most stable I wanted to go over the official thanks to my backup.
I ended up with the stock rom official ICS, but not enable the wifi. So I went back on the CM9, and there the WiFi working. I install the Revolution HD and the wifi does not work.
Back on my backup ICS official and still no wifi.
Have you an idea of where this might come?
Thank you in advance.
PS: After the installation of my CM9, my tf101 boot automatically on the recovery, forced to make a cold-booting android to begin.
I think the reboot into recovery thing is a bug that I've read some people have. I personally went back to the Rogue recovery after noticing that 5.5.0.4 didn't have option to access external SD.
Wifi...well...not too sure about that problem. Try to reflash the stock ICS rom back over on top of your backup. CWM is not the most reliable recovery, IMO.
Why don't you try Revolver. I bet that you'd stay on that rom. Oh...and pick up the superwipe lite script from the revolution thread if you haven't already. Good to use when you are swapping roms.
If you are restoring a nandroid, it is normal because nandroid doesn't restore the kernel, so you have to install the rom you want then restore the nandroid.
If you want to use CM9, use the one in my signature. Everything is working.

Well, it supports more keyboard languages than english, so it should work.
If you want to go back to asus based rom, you must wipe, install the rom you want, boot it and then restore nandroid if you have one

What is the problem? Wifi doesn't turn on? your network doesn't show up? you can't connect to your network?
You can always try other roms and see if wifi works. but if you have a dock i recommend to use my CM9 build which has working dock battery
wifi doesn't turn on. Block on "wifi activation..."
Same problem with the Revolver 4
It works with another recovery.
Sorry for my noobness, and thank you for your help.
Hello, I think I need some help guys.
I did a backup through TWRP prior to flashing CM9... but it somehow got corrupted. Now I would like to return to stock and I have no way of doing so.
Is there a zip that someone posted to flash stock firmware from twrp? Can someone post their backup (as long as it doesn't contain any personal data)?
I don't really know what steps to take to return to Asus firmware without the backup.
Well, it looks like I found my answer... I should really learn how to search properly
Anyways, I will try the solution on this thread and see if that resolves my issue. Thanks!
The method I linked to earlier works, but you must use cwm. Twrp will just freeze...

CWM 6.0.1.0. is installing roms fine, but I can't get it to backup and restore properly (making it extremely irritating to try new roms I may not like). So I installed TWRP via EZ Recovery recently, and for the life of me, I can not get it to install any rom, but it will backup and restore perfectly. What am I doing wrong? I've been flashing roms since the Droid X days and I'm stuck trying to wrap my head around this. Thanks for any help

I would try to reinstall the twrp recovery using the goo.im app to make sure you get the latest version 2.5.0.0
Hi guys! I just had got the Photon Q today and successfully got it rooted and successfully got a custom recovery installed on it. The problem is with EVERY ROM i've tried flash, it fails to install properly and aborts the installation. I've tried on both CWM and TWRP, but the result is the same and wont install. Does this have to do with the fact that the ROMs got unified for the multiple Motorola devices? I'm about to try older nightly builds i've found, just so I can have my phone on KitKat. Anyone have any ideas why every ROM is failing to install??
Well, CWM might fail if you are using an older version... However, the latest TWRP should work fine.
What's the error message? Are yo using the latest version?

Yup, i'm using the latest version, 2.7. Anyway, I got it figured out and realized it was my SD card, so I just flashed the ROMs from internal storage instead and it worked fine.
But now i'm having a new problem. Now i'm not getting any service and wifi wont come on. I've flashed custom roms on other phones before and i've never had this problem. It's like this on Carbon, Mokee, and now Cyanogen. I'm gonna keep browsing the forum for some ideas, do you have any idea by any chance?

This sounds like a result of deleted or formatted /persist partition.

Yup, I had a back up, but it failed to restore. I had to go back to stock because I couldn't figure out how to get back my service and wifi for the life of me. I still want to use Carbon, but i'm afraid it'll just go back to no service and no wifi again. Good thing about the stock rom, it seems to update your network profile and PRL for you.

You must be on the stock ROM to update the PRL. Make sure everything works & is updated before flashing a custom ROM.

Yeah that was after flashing PAC ROM. I was finally able to do a good wipe of everything and finally got PAC running smoothly. The newest TWRP 2.7.0.1 wont let me do a good wipe, so I had to use 2.3.3.1 to do the wipe. Those versions wouldnt flash the ROMs properly and would fail, so I installed the newest TWRP 2.7.0.1 (again) and now all the ROMs i've flashed work great.

I read your other post, that is odd. Not sure why you would have to revert to an older version of TWRP... Actually I'm a bit behind, I'm still on 2.6.3.1 I think. Not sure upgrading my phone would be a good test, since you proved moving from an older to newer version works...
Hmmm. I might just RSD Lite back to stock to see if I can recreate this.
