Root ROM not loading

[Bankswood]

OK I was afraid of this. I went to restore my Apex ROM last night and can't get ROM Manager to do it. When I go to ROM Manager and hit Manage/Restore pick my back up it goes into recovery for a moment then reboots with out installing. I tried to install the backup manually through Clockwork but it says no files. WTF.

This is not the end of the world but before I start reconstructing ROMs I want to make sure I can backup correctly.

try using root explorer and go into sdcard/clockworkmod/backup and see if the folder is there, if so see whats inside of it
to give you an idea my apex backups have 4 .img files (system, data, cache, and android_secure) and 1 nandroid.md5 file

 

[Bankswood]

Yeah it's there in the clockworkmod folder. Just like yours. What now?

Now, just go into CWM recovery using bootstraper app, and try to restore from there

 

[Bankswood]

I did. It say no files found.

 

[BuTbKa]

Just to make sure...
In bootstrapp app you did click on "Bootstrap Recovery" and in ROM Manager on "Flash CWM Recovery"
Then usingg Bootstraper you got into CWM Recovery-->backup/restore--->restore--> your saved nandroid?

What's the backup name?

 

[BuTbKa]

when you create nandroid by default name looks like that "2011-01-07-08.40.27" basically date and time you create your nandroid. But you can change name in ROM Manager (just don'y use space in nandroid name)

 

[Bankswood]

OK let's forget restoring the old nandroid. I have rebuilt the Apex 1.3 as I want it. Now I want to make sure I back it up correctly. Directions please?

boot into recovery using bootstrap, choose backup

 

[colchiro]

just don't use space in nandroid name

That was my impression.
