I made a nandroid backup with cwm, and then switched to twrp before installing my first rom. Im not happy with it but unfortunately cannot restore apparently without reverting to cwm but i can't figure out how to do that...can anyone help?

Solved the problem, forgot to update the thread cause I posted on a couple diff sites.

If anyone is curious, here's what I learned..

A backup made with cwm can't be restored with twrp and vice versa. Rom manager, available in the market, will re-flash clockworkmod.

Not too sure but I believe you would just redownload cwm. Idk *does the skunk bird call*.

Lol.... Yes backups made with cwm are not compatible. I would suggest using cwm to restore the backup. The reload twrp and make a backup with twrp. Then you can delete cwm and its backups. Twrp is a much better solution IMO for several reasons.
