my phone is in a bad way

yeh i got a back up
i tried to restore it but it didnt work
couldnt open directory
No files found

OK showmestuff-S2... lets try a long shot shall we?

Get into Recovery.

Go down, using the volume key, to - backup and restore and select it using the Home key.

I the next menu go to - advanced restore from internal sdcard and select it using the Home key.

Hopefully, you will have made a backup using CWM in the past to your internal SD Card and, again hopefully, it will now be showing on screen.

If this is the case, use your Home key to restore it.

Hope this helps. :D

I think you may have a cwm version conflict between the version installed on the last kernel you installed and your cwn backup.

If you have previous kernel .zip files still on your phone (I always keep a few on mine just in case) then flash this first then try restoring your backup. You should then be fine.

I think you have cwm5 (blue text) and your backup was done in cwm4 (orange text)
