How can I do a nand backup on the MT4G? I want to have a backup before doing anything with it. I just got it rooted and I have Clockwork installed.
are you perma rooted? get rom manager from market, then open it and you will see the flash recovery option. do it and then reboot open it again and go the reboot into recovery option. that will let you know if it took. then go down to backup and restore. then chose backup.

It is perm root, I dl Clockwork and bought the premium when I had the Vibrant. I already click Flash ClockworkMod Recovery but when I go Reboot into Recovery it brings me to the system's recovery.
Never mind for some reason I reclicked Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and went to Reboot into Recovery I was bought into the CLockworkMod Recovery. Thanks.

Searched, but couldn't find an answer to this. I rooted and installed ROM Manager so I can do a nandroid backup before installing a custom ROM. However, when I press back up in ROM Manager, it restarts and hangs/freezes on the HTC MyTouch 4g splash screen.
What am I doing wrong?
Have you flashed CWM recovery after installing Rom Manager. You must flash the recovery before you can backup/restore or install roms. I almost did that myself but luckily i read the thread concerning it again and flashed REcovery before trying to back up rom.
Yeah, I did that first and the problem remains. I just uninstalled and reinstalled ROM Manager and am about to try "backup current rom" again (unless I should reboot into recovery and back up from clockwork recovery?).
FWIW; Current recovery is ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2
anyone?
Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I just started getting exactly the same. Cant reboot manually into clockwork recovery or from Rom manager :/
If you have flashed a recovery beyond that supported by ROM manager, you will not be able to perform recovery functions from the app (i.e. backup). CW3 is required for CM7 ROMs, but will not be supported by ROM manager until the CM7 RC drops. You can still manually boot to recovery (I always Vol up when powering then select Recovery) and if you have CM7 nightly installed, it has a "reboot to recovery" option in the reboot menu.
You need CWM3 to use CM7.

Sometimes it is necessary to flash clockwork recovery more than once before it will actually stick. Also, occasionally it will freeze on the splashscreen after a backup, but a battery pull and turning out the phone should be fine.

Here's what's going on:
The Clockworkmod Recovery that you can download from the Market only supports up to CyanogenMod 6.x. For CM7, you need to install Clockworkmod Recovery 3.x, but that version isn't available on the Market yet.
What this means is that you need to find the image file for a CWR 3.x on these forums and manually install it through either a terminal emulator or fastboot. The post below explains how to do it:

If you flash CM7 using CWR 2.x, your phone won't boot. There's just no way around it.

Careful with the terminology there. ROM Manager, the app you download from the Market, is a GUI front-end to the CWM recovery image, but you can download and install CWM without using ROM Manager at all. Just because you have ROM Manager installed doesn't mean that CWM recovery is also successfully installed.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't imply that CW ROM Manager and CW Recovery are the same thing though...

You said "the Clockworkmod Recovery that you can download from the Market", and that kinda does. No biggie though.
Just an update for my problem, it turned out that clockwork recovery had corrupted for whatever reason and couldn't be reinstalled from rom manager. As I wanted to test Cm7 anyways I just ended up flashing clockwork recovery 3 manually through fastboot and its all gravy again

How to flash clockwork recovery from fastboot or fron clockwork recovery 2.51?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Thanks, everyone. What happened with mine, I have no idea, but I randomly opened rom manager and was greeted with an update to the recovery. So I downloaded it and voila - I can now boot into recovery and do backups, etc...
I've searched the forums without any luck. Anyways, I have a question about root and recovery. Yesterday I rooted my phone using a guide from the unlockr. All went well and my phone is now rooted. I want to install a new ROM on my phone and I keep reading about installing "recovery" before the ROM and I'm not sure if I've done that? Is there a way to know if I have installed the recovery or not?
Oh wow I'm stupid. On the guide it says I now have root access and a recovery image. My bad. But now I have another question; If I don't happen to like the new ROM is it easy to just go back to normal, like factory settings?
First Question
It's quiet easy.
- If you have rom manager installed, you have clockworkmod recovery installed.
- If not, try to power on your tattoo with the touches "home" + "power" until you go on the recovery. If you go on the recovery, you got it! ;-)
Second question
Before flashing a rom, do a Nandroid backup in the recovery so you can restore to your current rom with all yours data.

I have the clockwordmod recovery v3.0.0.5 and I started the phone by pressing home+power and I hit the "Backup and restore" option but there's no "Nandroid backup" thingy, all I see is "backup" or "restore", is that the same thing?
I'm running a backup right as we speak.
Yes! the backup & restore menu are the nandroid backup & restore...

Okay, thanks! The backup is done and I'm now copying the clockworkmod folder to my computer, and soon I'm gonna try flash the nFinityGB rom
cross your fingers! lol
Well, I copied the nFinityGB.zip-file and put it on the SD crad, but when i try to start it in recovery mode it gets stuck on "Tattoo" on the screen. What am I doing wrong? lol
to install the rom, you have to go in the recovery. did you push home + power buttons as well during the boot?

Yeah I did, I fixed it though by doing the root thing again, dunno why I couldn't start the phone in recovery mode. I have the nFinityGB rom now though, looks pretty awesome
Thanks for your help btw!
I've found out that I needed acer recovery to do this so i've got that. When i open acer recovery it gives me the option to install recovery image or boot into recovery and i can do that with clockworkmod recover or with stock usa but I don't know if i'm supposed to use stock or clockworkmod and how i'm supposed to create a nandroid backup can anyone help?

Chose "Install Recovery Image" in Acer Recovery Installer... Reboot to recovery power+volume down... You should be in Clockwork Mod... go to Backup & Restore then choose Backup...
Hope this helps!
Like stated above. You have to flash ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM Recovery) in order to do a Nandroid backup. All that is selecting "Backup" in the CWM menu and letting the tablet do it's own thing.
Good luck!
When I try to boot into recovery it says "recovery verified failed" any suggestions?
You don't need Acer recovery, you need CWM(clockwork mod recovery) or you don't have the options you need. Make sure you have root, us acer recovery installer to install CWM then get your nandroid backup.
Are you rooted?
Not sure but I believe you need to have root to install cwm. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.

Did the Acer Recovery Installer ask for root rights when you ran it?
If it did, try going into Superuser, delete the entry for Acer Recovery Installer, then try again from the top... making sure to grant Acer Recovery root access privileges.

You need to unlock your bootloader.

I have this same exact scenario, how would I unlock the bootloader? Acer Recovery says I have Bootloader Version: 0.03.12-ICS if that helps.
So after recovering from a botched flashing experience, i decided to go down the safe route and get an app do all the dirty work for me.
I rooted the phone with CF-AutoRoot. Then installed Clockwork ROM manager, which then suggested and installed (successfully, according to the app) ClockworkMOD recovery (6.0.4.8). It should be straightforward from there - Install ROM from SD Card -> Pick the ROM file -> Click 'Reboot and install'.
Issue here is that the phone boots into stock recovery mode. Same happens if I click 'Reboot into Recovery' in the main menu of CLW. So even though I supposedly have CLW recovery, I can't boot into it. Anyone came across an issue like that before? Really want CMMOD up and running but i am not sure where I am going wrong.
Don't use Rom Manager go flash recovery. It's not working with note 3. Get ahead here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454079
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
I managed to root the Note 3 with CF- Root. Currently on 4.4.2 EE. That was easy. I then installed CWM and it advised I needed to update the app which I do. If I then ask it to make a back up it reboots in to recovery but does not appear to do anything? If I then reboot the device the App's all crash one at a time. The only way to resolve is to wipe/Factory reset.
I am not sure what I have done wrong here? This is not a boot loop....It just bombs the current rom.
Nothing? No advice? As this is not a boot loop searching has not really helped.

Who do you ask to make a backup ? Which app have you installed ? Cwm Rom manager ? Did you even install cwm recovery within the app ? If you updated the app, with that you didn't install the recovery.
You must power off your phone and reboot to recovery with the 3 button combo. Then, when in recovery, make a backup (if you have a custom recovery installed ?). Don't use any "boot to recovery and make a backup" apps or such, it can screw things up.
But my advice, install the latest twrp recovery. Definitely better.
Thankyou for taking the time to answer.
Yes I installed clockwork Mod. It said it was installing Cwm and offered the option to reboot and make a current backup. Which it then seems to fail. I see no manual option to make a back either when in the boot menu.
I'll try twerp and see what happens. I used to use Cwm a long time ago on a first gen galaxy and it was great. Something is just amiss this time.
Yeah, it didn't install cwm recovery, otherwise you would have the option to backup. Stock recovery doesn't have that option.
Last time i checked, this cwm manager wasn't the best option to manage your backups and restores. The 3 button combo to boot into recovery and then make a backup or restore is the way to go.
I too had problems with cwm in the past, but then i went for twrp and all is good. Plus, imo, it has a nicer touch interface.
