So you made a backup from stock rom (ics?) with stock kernel. And you want restore it? Is this the same firmware as you currently running?
did you renamed the backup? CWM writes something in the restorte process? e.g md5 mistmach or something else?
If you made a backup from gb rom you can't restore it with ics kernel, because cwm can't restore the kernel.

I created backup of latest kernel n ics. Than i tried to install custom rom but it didnt work so i tried t restore... Twice unable... Dont wry only 1 backup and date is mentioned on it.... U mean t say to restore kernal shall remain same?
1 more que i used pimp my rom app nw my internet game force closes?

On cwm when try to restore gives you a status 7 error or something like that?

Friend one thing you have to remember that while restoring old rom you have to remember that you need to flash the same kernel on which you have taken the backup as your problem is rom kernel mismatch. For stock rom try Rage kernel

Restore like this:
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Format system
Wipe dalvik cache
Restore
Be sure you have not renamed backup or any file related to cwm

Yes Ajay74 is right, your problem is kernel ROM mismatch. On all Xperia 2011 devices (and before) there is no separate partition for recovery and it usually lives in the boot partition and recovery cannot back up the partition where it lives. So the kernel is not backed up and restoring a back up will not restore the kernel that made the back up.

Wow. if u had asked this question in any other forum ppl would have laughed at you... i guess u didnt even search any thread in xda before posting this question. Also u are not the first one to change kernel so many have asked the same question before. however we the members of this forum are very helpful people so here goes....
no need to wipe anyhting for changing kernel. connect phone to PC and just get into fastboot mode using flashtool. clok lightning button chose fastboot > chose select kernel to flash, locate kernel needed eg.kernelpanic.img and click ok. flashing is done. now reboot ur phone.
Tnx for replay
I know how to flash kernel but want to flash kernel without wip or any way for that

Just flash it,you don't need to wipe anything
Tnx bro
Other question:
I've a backup from.my rom that was on rage kernel, now can I restor that back up while i'm on mesa kernel?
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
There is no need to factory reset or format cache,data and system, Just flash it.
But in my way... I only wipe dalvik cache just incase if something crash after flashing.
For a better way... Use nandroid backup before all of it.

systemUI.apk got deleted...need help

hi,
I accidently deleted my systemUI.apk using root explorer. Everythings black on homescreen. How do i fix this? I am running stock ics .110 on my sola.
Did you do a nandroid backup?
If yes, then restore usong swm
Otherwise flash any sola ftf via flashtool
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app
is there any easier way?
No...systemui is the interface through which you could use your android...but since you deleted it...there is no way that you could reinstall it via your mobile...assuming u r rooted and have cwm installed, u can either restore or do a reset..these r the fastest n easiest ways...
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app
Just a thought
Flash moded systemui. Zip from app section.
may be it will work for you.

Extract Message From CWM Backup.

Long story short I was running CM9 and I had an Important Message on there.
I need to get it but I don't want to reflash my ROM to get it.
Can I extract it from a CWM backup?

Why you don't backup Messages using stock Backup And Restore tools?
But that only works in stock ROM.
I think you can't extract the messages...

Follow these
1.Go to CWM
2.Backup and Restore
3.Hit Backup
4.Done
These will backup your whole Rom and at the time of restore just hit restore that's it
the backup will save in sd/clockworkmod/backup/Here
I knew dis step but i hv 1 confusion.should i ned to wipe everything like installing fresh rom
