Used Mutirom, then wiped everything off the phone clean.
Went to TWRP v2.8.6.0 and flashed CM12 Nightlies. Took the backup. When I try to restore the backup it fails at recovering the data.
I have found no such issues on XDA or Google reported, can someone help me with this?
Thanks

Helllo everyone, I have problem in restoring nandroid backups generated by CWM 5.0.2.0
When I restore backup, I get boot loops and cleaning up dalvik cache and cache wont help. First i thought it maybe a random error but it has happened even after lot of tries. I dont have a faulty sd card.
The backup i was trying to restore was of oxygen 2.3.2 with a theme installed + some apps
Can anyone suggest a a solution?
If you are getting bootloops then sorry to say the backup is not a healthy one, you need to reflash ROM. I also had problems with themes installed, now I made a backup keeping everything stock with apps.
Oxygen has inbuilt app2sd script. This causes problems many times. I would recommend restoring the system first, boot it up den restore both data and sdext.

Switch to twrp or amonra(if I'm not mistaken amonra can restore cwm backups).

if Im not mistaken, we can flash a recovery within a recovery right?

Yes, just download xxx.zip and flash, no problems, also they are very stable if you are wondering...

You could have an error, like bad block, in your internal memory. To rule that out, install some other ROM fresh & see if you get errors.

If the backup isn't restoring, then you should try restoring the backup, then reflashing the rom. I would recommend switching to amon ra recovery or twrp since they don't have that problem and imho they're better.
It seems the theme I installed had some problems since they replace system files such as framework-res.apk , settings.apk etc.
I flashed clean oxygen, installed lot of apps, created and restored the backup and it seems to work flawlessly now.

This solution may also work i think.
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.

Hi, i recently tried the Cyanogenmod 11 using the installer on windows, before i did a nandroid using nexus root toolkit and everything backuped okay.
After flashing some gapps rebooting etc.. everything worked fine.
I maybe mess my system when "hardly" uninstall some system apps using this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp
and restoring some backups using Nandroid Manager .
Then i decied to go back using the Nexus toolkit full restore Nandroid Backups w/Custom Recovery; also tried with rom manager with CWM recovery v6.0.4.5
but at reboot i'm stucked with a md5 mismatch error. After googling I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2164133 but i don't have a nandroid.md5 file, i did a search within es explorer but found nothing.
Any advices are welcomes.
advice? stop using toolkits and learn to do things the right way. its a nexus, its VERY easy. and stay far away from rom manager, its very outdated, and broken.
Okay so what is the right way, what should i do?

I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 with an unlocked bootloader. I am having trouble restoring the backups i have made. Everytime i try to restore one it goes to boot but hangs on the boot logo. I have tried clearing cache, delvac cache, data, factory reset. Can someone please help me. I have ClockWordMod custom recovery installed.

Not a problem. I've tried nearly all the recovery options. I have settled on TWRP as my favorite. Glad I could help!!
