I used mattlg's utility app and rooted my razr.. I installed voodoo ota root keeper and bootstrap. Bootstrap installed fine, given su and recovery installed.

i went to make a back up and everything stretch going OK. I started backing to system, and then data then i got an error saying "no sdcard/android.secure found, skipping backup of apps on external storage " then another error saying "no sd-ext found_ skipping backup of sd-ext" then it said backup complete.

I tried to do a restore and got an error restoring system..

I tried searching but can't find any solutions as to why the backups fail to restore.. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

The error no sd-ext found_ skipping backup of sd-ext is normal, nothing to worry about. There is a problem with restoring system when do a full restore. However, you can do an Advance Restore and select System by itself without any issues.

I've never done an advanced restore, do system and data from the advanced menu?

After you a regular restore...then you get the system error, then you can go into the Advanced menu and select the individual areas to restore like system/data/etc. You just need to select system to restore and you're good to go.

OK, so after getting the error about restoring system, I went into the advanced menu and selected system. Gave the same error when restoring. It appears that I can't do any type of system restore.. Should I try RDS to return my system to work factory instead of Matts utility?

You cannot do a system restore, you can only restore data and everything else but system.

You will always see that unless you partition your SDCard with a apps2sd partition.

Its normal and nothing to worry about. Wipe cache and dalvik before you make the backup though... Saves you a headache when restoring it.
