[PSA] Clockwork 3.0.0.5 NANDroids

[PvilleComp]

Just a quick heads up to everyone.

Some folks over on XDA are reporting that Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5 is having problems making NANDroid backups and/or restoring NANDroids properly.

I ran a test on my DInc and was able to successfully create and restore several NANDroid backups. NOTE: All of my NANDroids were made and restored within Clockwork, not within ROM Manager.

You may want to run a test and make sure your NANDroids are good.

Some folks reported problems with MD5 checks and others with the restore failing mid way.

Better to test now then to have a problem later!

UPDATE: With the 3.0.0.8 CWM these problems have been addressed.

I don't know if this is at all device specific, but occasionally I will get a bad checksum when trying to restore using 3.0.0.5 - which is why I always keep a minimum of 2 backups just in case. Not too big a deal.

I agree - this is not an emergency thing - just better to test and be prepared then to assume it's working and not have it when you really need it.

Is ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 available for the CDMA version of the HTC Desire?

It appears that the fix - if you are having problems with CWR 3.0.0.5, is to go into ROM Manager, select settings and check Erase Recovery. This will reinstall CWR and many have reported that this has fixed their problems.

If you are having problems with 3.0.0.5 I hope this helps!

I am using 3.0.0.5 on HTC Evo 4G, I flash a lot switching CM7 nightly, MIUI, MikFroyo, etc, no problems. Maybe it is your sdcard.
