Cannot restoring backup through ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.2.6

Hi
I took and backup of my rom to try a new one but wanted to go back to the old one. When I try to restore the backup through ClockWorkMod Recovery, it restores the system but when restoring data and PDU, ClockWorkMod Recovery restarts.
When I get to my desktop, all my icons are there but the apps themselves are missing along with a lot of other stuff.
Any idea why this might be happening and what I can do to restore my backup??
Thanks

I could give you a solution, but whatever happens, its not my fault!! , because maybe CWM recovery did that for a reason.
But anyway...
Take the data.img file from your sdcard(in clockworkMod folder) and extract it (many programs out there that extract .img files, i use 'ext2explore')
Then make a flashable .zip file and flash it (make sure its signed, and has the right folder structure and updater-script code).
I've never dont this, but theoretically it should work.

Or, You could flash it via fastboot.
Place the same data.img in your SDK/tools folder, boot into fastboot & fire up your cmd window
Code:
fastboot flash data data.img
Again the same disclaimer applies, use at your own risk.

I'm having the same problem and I tried to flash data.img,
"fastboot flash userdata data.img" ,
But it said my back was too large.
I'm gonna try the ext2explorer and see if that works.

@Andyharney post: yea, you could do it that way!, i forgot all about that method

Thanks for your help.
You must be right. There must be something wrong with the backup and that's why it isn't restoring and dont wanna risk breaking anything more.
Again, thanks for helping.

ext2explorer says somthing about the masterblock not being found. Im not sure what to do, just gnna use the titanium backups frm a couple days back

Replace framework-res.apk > Bootloop. Help!

Hi all!
I using root explorer to replace framework-res.apk
But now, my HTC Desire Z have a bootloop. I try to factory reset, wipe cache date, using update.zip but not not effective.
When I up rom in recovery (3e), the system show: E:signature verification failed
Help me fix the bootloop. Thanks!

well first off I hope you made a nandroid backup of your ROM before you did this. If so, just pull the battery, boot straight into recovery, and restore that nandroid backup.
Where did you get this framework-res.apk? did you edit it yourself? if so, what did you change? If you or someone else has changed anything decently major, the .apk needs to be re-signed. Looks like it wasn't.

Everybody help me!
I can't solve this problem

Where did the framework-res.apk you are using to replace the stock on come from?
Or is the issue now just trying to get your phone booting again?

Like I said in my first post that you didn't respond to, did you make a nandroid backup? If you didn't, you should at least have the stock framework-res.apk set aside to go back to? If you don't, and you can boot directly into recovery, then you're going to have to re-flash a fresh ROM in order to break the issues you caused with your current problem.
So if your phone is still bootlooping and you don't have a backup to go to, then follow the normal steps to flash a new ROM from recovery (this will probably be your only option if you don't have a backup):
1) download your ROM of choice
2) enter recovery, mount as USB storage
3) place ROM.zip on root of your SD card
4) install zip from SDcard > select ROM.zip
5) reboot
you'll probably lose your data, unless you flash the exact same ROM as you had before, there may be a chance that it won't.
Here's a lesson to be learned! Backup before messing with major things, and save the old framework-res.apk. And don't just willy-nilly flash random Uot Kitchen framework-res.apk's without precautions. It looks like you just got a framework-res.apk that wasn't signed properly and it messed your ROM up.

How can you not have cwm, there isn't another custom recovery for the DZ that I'm aware of.
Hang on, do you still have the stock recovery? OK so I'm going to assume you are actually rooted. Do you nave the eng hboot installed?

You can't, you will need to install cwm.
Download rom manager, then select install clockworkmod recovery. Then boot your phone in to recovery and preform a wipe then flash custom rom.

Ohh yeah, I forgot that. OK you will need to install recovery using fastboot. But to do that you will need to install the eng hboot. To do that please follow the instructions here http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html. But when you get to point 10 you will need to pull your battery out. And delete the PC10IMG.zip of your sd card.
Then reboot back in to bootloader and if all has gone well we will know have the DZ eng hboot installed.
The top line should now say vision eng s-off
You will then need to execute fastboot commands to install cwm. If you do not have fastboot installed download fastboot.exe from here http://developer.htc.com/adp.html and place in your platform-tools folder. You will is need the cwm recovery.img which you can get from here http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-vision.img and rename to recovery.img and place in your platform-tools folder
Open a cmd window and point it towards your platform-tools folder. Then we want to check fastboot is working, so make sure your phone is in bootloader and type fastboot devices and it should bring up your device serial number. Assuming that works type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
All being well the recovery will flash then you will be able to boot in to recovery and flash a rom.
If you have any problems or are unsure about anything head over to the #G2ROOT irc http://webchat.freenode.net/

[Q] clockworkmod recovery

hello,
last night i tried to flash an update from cm7 nightly and after trying it, decided to return to the previous build i was using. i did a nan restore and encountered an error "md5 mismatch". i asked for 3xeno help as to what could have possibly caused the error and suggested some possible causes and solution to my problem which I am still trying to figure out till now. but in the meantime i have just decided to reflash the nightly i was using and reinstalled all the apps i was using.
i read quite a few articles and threads here and if i understood it right there are some cwm version that encounter nandroid restore problems. i am currently using cwm 3.0.0.6 and i was wondering if there is a cwm version that i can use which is more stable and will not create any problems if i would make nan restores in the future.
thanks.

Switch to 5.0.2.0. No issues with Nandroid Backups / Restores. I have done tons of restores with this version.

The two zips are different ways of installing it.
Download PC49IMG.zip only and place on SD card root, go into hboot and press volume up when it asks you to update

Manage to flash it as per 3xeno guide and suggestions. Im now on cwm 5.0.2.0. Thought i had it figured out at first but it was only temporary recovery. Flashed PC4IMG zip and now everything is good.

I get lots of MD5SUM errors with this version of CWM, 4 out of 5 nands fail on me. I think my card may be to blame but i really dont trust my backups now. I'm sketchy about any mods I do now because i cant be sure if my backups will restore.

If you are ready to use fastboot, you can use it to push all the IMG files directly to your Wildfire without bothering about MD5 checksums. (I had loads of MD5 errors on versions 4.x, but not a single one yet, as I said before, on 5.0.2.0)

Will probably try to learn that method over the weekend. I tried a nandroid backup and restore with cwm 5.0.2.0 and it went well so far. Thank you for the suggestion sir.
If my previous backups including my stock rom gets really messed up, I guess Im just gonna stick with cm7. I'm loving it anyway.

Quoting myself from a previous post:
2) Use Fastboot
- Download this attachment and extract it to any folder (eg: C:\fastboot)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1308537074
- Download CWM IMG Image for Wildfire (Buzz) from here:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/rec...0.2.0-buzz.img
- Place that IMG file along with the 4 files from the attachment in the same folder you created
- Now, turn off your Wildfire, connect to PC, and turn on in HBoot
- Navigate to Fastboot and Select it
- Open a Command Prompt Window (Start > Run > cmd)
- Type the following one by one and press Enter (It is assumed you created the folder in C Drive and have named it fastboot)
- cd\
- cd fastboot
- fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.img
- This should produce 2 lines of code - SENDING RECOVERY and WRITING RECOVERY. If both states OK at the end, you should have CWM installed successfully after this.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The above Quote was for installing a Recovery Image like CWM. Fastboot commands use the following syntax:
fastboot flash <partition name> <name of IMG file to be flashed>
So, the other command names will change according to the files from your previous Nandroid Backup. Examples:
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash data data.img
... and so on

will give this a try sir. thanks

[Q] HTC One X 3.14.771.34 RUU?

Hello
My friend bricked his HTC One X by formatting /system/ in CWM. Now I am trying to restore his phone. I relocked bootloader and flashed stock recovery. Now I need an RUU.
When I type fastboot getvar version-main it shows the version as 3.14.771.34 Can someone tell me which RUU should I download?
Thanks for your help!

I also have CM10 zip file but I can not push it to his SD card because adb does not detect the phone.

There is no RUU with that version ! Go here and download and restore the nandroid backup
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927048
Unlock the phone and flash the custom recovery back, then mount the sdcard as a mass storage device and copy the backup over. Flash the boot.img and perform a full wipe in the recovery and restore the nandroid.

Can you please give me the custom recovery img file so that I can mount SD card in recovery mode?

sure
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819

I already flashed this one but when I mount USB storage, nothing happens

strange....mounted as usb storage in the mounts & storage menu (last option?) otherwise try the latest TWRP ....

Yes, I did that! Link to TWRP please? Is it flashable from fastboot?

yes it is...like a normal recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622925
but strange that it is not recognized by the pc ! did you reboot the pc once....just to refresh

Yes, I did. I will try this and come back here. Thanks

I restored the nandroid backup but the phone stays on HTC logo. I browsed the files using Aroma File manager in CWM and I saw that there is no app folder in /system/ It has only bin folder. What should I do? Please note that the bootloader is unlocked.
Thanks

Did you flashed the boot.img from the nandroid ? Redownload the nandroid maybe, check the thread if anything is said about it ?

[Q] TWRP Help! Unable to open zip, no OS installed!

Hi guys, I was changing Roms and accidentally hit wipe internal storage in TWRP.
I've tried to flash a Sinless ROM, an insert coin ROM and also looked on htcdev website to get an RUU to try and put it back to stock, yet every time I try and install a zip file through twrp it says "unable to open zip file".
I've also taken a shot at trying to add sideload the rom on there, no progress is made and eventually fails again... I've got no backups saved or anything...
Is there anything else I can try to make my phone work again? I was possibly thinking trying to get my brother to do a backup on his M8, put his SD in my phone, then restore from his back up, will this work?
Is there anything else I can try in the mean time? Really don't know what to do next...
Many thanks in advance guys
Oli

Hi,
In my ignorance, i think the failed flashes could be caused by two things:
1- the recovery you are using is not updated. Try to flash the lastest TWRP recovery or change recovery version.
2- corrupted ROM zips. Maybe there are problems while downloading the ROMS or while you copy them to your external sd card. Try to download them on another computer AND using a different browser. And maybe put the zips on a different SD card if you can. But, MOST IMPORTANT thing, check the MD5 after you've finished to download the zips.
About the nandroid backup... I think it could work BUT be sure that your brother M8 has the same brand, firmware and Android version of your M8 (before you wiped everything).
However, about this last part w8 maybe for somone else more expert the me w

Get into fastboot and type in fastboot: fastboot erase cache
Than reflash your recovery with with fastboot: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Than make sure that your downloaded zip isn't corrupted by trying to unzip it. If its successful, place the rom into the SD card and insert it into your M8 and flash from there.
Set up everything and voila, all done!

My apologies, didn't notice your reply. If his is s-on, he can try his brother's nandroid and if it fails, nothing will happen so its possible for him to restore his brother's nandroid if they are based on the same firmware

I unlocked my boot loader by htcdev, phone is s-on though.
I've downloaded each file twice, and also downloaded the insertcoin rom on another computer, made no difference. I'm using twrp 2.7.0.2 I believe...
Where would I get a new recovery.img file from? Sorry to sound stupid but I'm not sure and don't wanna mess my phone up more. Also when you download the file do you have to have it in the same directory as adb.exe, so when you run the adb command it will get it from that directory?

Just tried doing this fastboot method, I typed in adb devices to see if the phone was recognised, didn't show up, I typed in fastboot erase cache and it still did so. I then pushed the latest TWRP recovery.img file on to the phone, it's now running the latest version of TWRP, but still won't let me flash anything, still keeps saying unable to open zip...

Have you made sure the insertcoin rom that you have downloaded is compatible with your device? Your device needs to be running the lastest firmware as all the roms are updated to 4.4.4
As for the recivery, the lastest is 2.8.1.0

Make sure you have HTC drivers installed. if you don't, download HTC Sync and uninstall HTC Sync leaving the drivers in your computer than type in: adb devices.
Boot into fastboot and flash the recovery: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ( or you can just directly drag the "recovery.img" into cmd and press enter)
Load the rom into a external SD card and insert the SD card into your device and flash the rom from there

Also, do you check MD5 after downloading the ROM????

My device was running 4.4.4 prior to this happening. I did download the latest recovery and push it to the phone, it did work, but upon trying to flash a new rom, it still says failed.
The phone is being detected in adb, when it's in recovery it says so, sideload it says so, just not fast boot?

Forgive me for beimg stupid but how do I check the md5?

Compare it with the MD5 given in the ROM topic

I had the same problem where I couldn't flash anything and it wouldn't mount my storage. I had to adb flash RUU though that only works for s-off users

So if the md5 was to be fine and matched up, what would you try next?
Thanks

Try unzipping the .zip file on your pc with 7zip and then re-zipping it and try to flash again. I've also had some .zip files that can't be read and it wouldn't even open on the pc itself(giving errors) until I unzipped it with 7zip and re-zipped it.

Also a fail to unzip will point towards a bad download.

Hi guys.
So I tried a new SD card, matched up the md5s, tried flashing a new recovery.img file (which worked, I'm running the latest twrp now), unzipped and rezipped using 7zip, yet when I try and flash it still fails! I've tried flashing on the phone and sideloading it, both still fail.
Sideload failure says:
"installing '/external_sd/sideload.zip'
checking for md5 file
skipping md5 check:no md5 found" - that's where it gives up...
Phone flash failure says exactly the same except another line after sayi ping "error flashing zip '/external_sd/ROM.zip"
I really don't know what to try anymore... I've tried so much and I just can't see anything working now
Thanks for your help so far guys

Did you try flashing from Internal memory instead of sdcard?

No I havent. How can I get the rom to the internal memory mate? the phone has no OS on, so it's stuck in recovery or bootloader, how can I transfer the file to internal rather than the sd card?

Twrp 2.8.1.0 has MTP working.

Since your device only boots into the bootloader menu, all you'll have to do is highlight the Recovery option using the Volume Down button and select it with the Power button. If you do not see the Recovery option, just select Bootloader with the Power button and it should pop up.
Once in TWRP, tap the Advanced option and select ADB Sideload.
From there, you will be given the option to Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache partitions, so go ahead and do so by checking the boxes and Swipe to Start Sideload. After it starts, you will be ready to start your ROM flash.
With your device connected to your computer and your ROM file already on your desktop, you are ready to flash.
Kill ADB using the adb kill-server command, then restart it with adb usb.
Make sure your computer can identify your device with the adb devices command.
Flash your ROM with adb sideload Desktop/ROM.zip (be sure to change "desktop" to "downloads" or where ever your ROM is stored, and change "ROM.zip" to the name of your ROM file).

Sorry mate I didn't understand your previous post but I tried this method already, tried flashing Roms using sideload and they still fail, I've posted the error message in one of my previous posts if that helps?
