tonight i rooted my desire with clockwork

made a nandroid backup which was successful

flashed oxygen rom

played around with it for an hour and i don't like it


went to restore nandroid backup of my froyo 2.2 with sense

and i got the error md5 mismatch

can someone please help me fix my phone?

or give me the location of a stock 2.2 froyo with sense
 
Its corrupt backup. You will not be able to use it. You will have to re-flash whatever rom it is.

This is very rare, but probably sd related.
 
i've installed leedroid 2.2 with sense and back up and running now

there's titanium in the app drawer - can i use that to do a full back up of the phone - operating system and everything?
 
That's the only way to do a full image backup. All the other ways will just back up apps and settings etc

You could try another nandroid backup and restoring to see if it was a one off. Nothing is harmed if you get the error again. The alternative is to try another SD card - that may be the cause

This ^^

Anyway these MD5 checksomes are rare. Ive had one before and it was a dodgy file system on the SD.

You can always mount it on a PC and if it prompts to check for errors, tick all teh boxes and go for it.


EDIT> googling, found you can nandroid via adb, but it doesn't look like you define a location for it (so goes to default).

If you could define a local backup location of a remote device, it could be useful.
 
you can but you need s-off to flash them back
you just create a folder in sdcard, for this example i will use adbnand

cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /sdcard/adbnand/recovery.img
cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/adbnand/boot.img
cat /dev/mtd/mtd3 > /sdcard/adbnand/system.img
cat /dev/mtd/mtd4 > /sdcard/adbnand/cache.img
cat /dev/mtd/mtd5 > /sdcard/adbnand/data.img

probably worth doing misc aswell for usb brick fixing
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img

you can then keep that on your computer
you use fastboot to flash them

fastboot flash recovery c:\adbnand\recovery.img etc etc

thanks to droidzone for indexing this info on xdadevs

i dunno how to use adb - i'm rubbish at programming

if i did a nandroid backup of leedroid now - and restored later

would that work?
 
yep. You can either miount as usb mass storage via recovery (recommended) or via android as normal.
