Hello!!
I don't know anybody asked this question or not.
Right now I have a midNIGHT Rom. If I'll backup everything trough the Clockwork mode recovery and then try to flash different ROM. Mammon Bonsai4all Rom as example. After I'll do recovery from previous ROM will it work or not?
And what I need to do in this case?
I'm sorry for my language (English is not my original) but I hope you understand what I wanted to ask.
Thank you.
Correct me if I'm wrong. You have midnight rom and you want to flash bonsai rom. So your gonna do a backup thru clockwork mod and then flash the bonsai rom. Yes it will work but make sure you wipe after you do your backup and before you flash the new rom. Also make sure you stay on the same android version for the rom.
Thank you! You understood me right.
Thanks again.
If you back up, wipe, flash bonsai, do advanced data restore, then flash bonsai again ontop of the restore it helps with most of the hickups.

Hello. i am new to the android family
i have a nexus s GT-9020T
i have rooted my phone but without setting the clockworkmod reovery.
today i was playing with the rom manager and downloaded one of the rom from the list. after installation i was unable to start the phone only seeing the google logo with the unlock logo.
i went back into the recovery by typing flash recovery recovery.img etc.
run a restore and restart the phone but still not work
my nexus s is 2.3.4 by the way.
please assist
What "restore" did you run?
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062
And download the full rom:
Model: i9020T
Full Rom: GRJ22, KD1
That'll revert your Nexus S to the latest completely stock 2.3.4
Then you can flash recovery again and go back to clockwork mod and go flash another rom or whatever.
Remember when you're flashing a new rom you need to wipe data and cache and dalvik cache.
i run an restore from the backup that i made before installing the new rom using clockwork mod recovery, its part of the option when installing the rom using the rom manager * click box - backup * etc something like that

Next time don't use Rom Manager to make backups or flash roms. It's stupid and can get you issues like you're having.
Anyways, try wiping data and cache then restoring the backup, do it in Clockwork Recovery.
Let it boot, first boot always takes a while, 5-10 minutes. If you see the boot animation freeze, stop and restart, then yeah it's screwed up, otherwise, just let it is.
If still not working from your backup, do what I said in previous reply, just restore to stock 2.3.4 then re flash clockwork mod and start over with the rom you want to flash.
thank your nxt. i have found the real problem. it was not my backup problem or the rom that u provided. it was the version of my clockwork mod recovery. i was using an 2.x.x.x to restore the phone which is why it doesn't work. everything work fine now after i flashed with an 3.x.x.x and restore the phone. one question thou, where can i always find the newest clockwork mod recovery release ? thank you very much

Or just use ROM Manager to get the latest.
That's the only thing I use ROM Manager for... getting the latest Recovery.

I didn't run those command when i root my phone because i don't know if its good to make it permanent like.... hmmm like if there will be a 2.3.5 coming next month..just saying ok... with a permanent unofficial recovery will cause a problem?

Are you running custom ROM? If you are, it's already made to not revert back to stock recovery. If you leave it stock recovery you'll get notifications for firmware updates by Google, but remember that applying those to a rooted phone might screw things up too.
the blue one is stock recovery right?

thanks again nxt. no i am not running an custom rom. i mean not yet. i planed to try one from the rom manager download section then my phone couldn't start after installation and now i have restored my phone from my backup using the clockwork mod recovery 3.x.x.x.
I just install ginger bread leak is there any way to restore back to factory setting I did try the PD15IMG but it say that one was old so it did not flash please help thank you very much for your time and sorry for my english
Did you make nandroid backup? If not then there are few things you can do to recover. As I am not sure which rom you had I am guessing stock tmo rom just rooted? In that case you can go to dev section and download nandroid or stock flashable zip which you can install via CWMR.
Now I am not sure how you installed the GB Leak rom as we do have flashable but I am guessing you used the PD15IMG.zip leaked that contained the radio/rom? I don't know why people even do these things. All you had to do was do a complete system wipe (/data; /system) and flash the GB Leak though CWMR. Now you have a new bootloader?
I solved the problem with downgrade that I was search in here thank you verymuch
I just rooted my girlfriend's year old fascinate that was bone stock from day 1. In CWM I am unable to make a nandroid (I get an error). I've heard I need a modded stock kernel in order to successfully make a backup in CWM 3.x or something along those lines.
I looked in the developer forum under the sticky with the list of everything, but it only shows three or so kernels (none of which hint at stock).
I have a Thunderbolt and before that a Droid 2 so I know a lot about rooting and flashing with those two devices, but I am new to the Fascinate. I messed around a bit with Odin when I rooted the phone, but I'm still learning.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Older recoveries supported amend scripting (2.x.x) while newer ones support edify scripting (3.x.x)...depending on which rom your running it may cause problems with backups and restores if you don't have the right recovery...unless you plan on going to an Mtd build (cm7, Miui, ect) I would recommend using the (2.5.1) recovery also called the 3/30 fix all recovery because this version supports both amend and edify scripting..so you make a nandroid with out issues....if you can get to recovery still I would install this zip and then select reboot recovery...it will bring you to the 3/30 fix all recovery where you should be able to backup and restore your nandroid...link to follow shortly...
Scroll down in the first page to the .zip file, download and continue with the steps I listed...I know its confusing at first mainly because development has happens rather quickly which is a good thing! its just a lot to catch up on!

What would you recommend if my plan was to install MIUI or OMFGB?
I'm deciding between those two because I use OMFGB on my Thunderbolt all the time, but MIUI is very good for my girlfriend I think because it's very straight forward and simplistic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124391
Its not hard to get in to these roms, but you must be sure if you have problems or want to go to anything non Mtd you will have to Odin an official VZW tar and pit file to repartition before going to any non Mtd rom

So basically:
1. Flash the CWM you posted in your original reply
2. Nandroid her current stock setup
3. Flash MIUI
4. If I ever want to return to stock or a non-mtd rom I have to do what's posted in your second reply?
If all that is correct please let me know. Also lets say she doesn't like MIUI, can I simply flash that nandroid or will I have to do what's posted in the second reply?
When I try to flash that older CWM in CWM I get this message:

Yes you will have to do what's in the second reply.
You have it all correct, if you nandroid her current stock setup you can only restore it on a non Mtd build you would have to do what I linked to in the second post to use a vzw rom with pit file to repartition...boot fully, flash recovery then you could restore her stock nandroid..for example you get her on Miui you can only do a nandroid with the recovery that comes with it...I think its a 4.x.x recovery...trying to restore the stock nandroid before repartitioning back to stock will cause problems...so basically you only want to restore a nandroid on the same build (Mtd to Mtd nandroid, or ext4/rfs to ext4/rfs nandroid) and if all else fails and you run into big problems, doing the VZW restore (although can be a lengthy process) will get the phone back running to start over!

Did you see my reply before this? I was unable to get CWM 2.x to flash so I'm still on CWM 3.x.

I did see it after I replied, is her phone on ed05? I'm surprised that neither the 3/30 fix all or 3.x.x is working
Edit after looking at the pick again you're using times infinity's recovery....you would need to Odin the 3/30 fix all recovery and immediately three finger boot into recovery without letting the phone boot or if you installed the 3/30 fix all via .zip file, you need to choose reboot recovery to enter the fix all one, it should be 2.5.1 I believe

Here's a picture of her phone info:
http://i.imgur.com/rs1Jd.jpg
And as you can tell from the other photo, both making a backup and flashing the CWM 2.x doesn't work.
Trying a backup results in: "Error while backing up boot image!"
Trying to flash CWM 2.x results in that long information message.
That sucks man i'm sorry I've never been on ed05 so I don't know if that why your having problems my suggestion...back up all her contacts by exporting them to sd card, download titanium backup its free in the market, backup all of her apps and screw the nandroid, flash what you want, restore her apps with titanium, but do not restore data, restore get contacts and then boot into the recovery that comes with the rom/kernel and then do a nandroid and that WILL work..again sorry for the trouble, just trying to help.

I appreciate all your help. I'll let you know how it goes.
ed05 is not the problem...You have to use cwm 2.5.1.x if your trying to nandroid backup a stock rom. This version of cwm works on all froyo roms and powerwashed gingerbread. After you make a nandroid with cwm2.5.1.x, then flash cwm4 and proceed to installing miui.
Read this link for flashing mtd based roms such as miui, cm7, vgb...etc

That was my first reply to him...to use 2.5.1 but he said he still got errors? I don't have a clue what the problem is...he's said he's used ti's 3x.x, and the 3/30 fix all still with errors? confused?

I think you skipped a step... Are you flashin cwm via the PDA function in ODIN?
If not you need to:
ODIN the cwmAll.tar here: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&drKey=1359&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1238070&v=1&libid=1316306736482&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mediafire.com%2F%3F6x5utoca59et7o9&title=%5BGUIDE%5D%20Installing%20a%20rom%2F%20cwm%20recovery%2F%20or%20going%20back%20to%20stock%20for%20NEWBIES!%20-%20xda-developers&txt=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mediafire.com%2F%3F6x5utoca59et7o9&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13163071702031
make a nandroid back up of the stock rom.
go back to odin and flash the jt's cwm4
boot into recovery
wipe data, cache, dalvik
install miui.zipfrom sd card
Follow the rest of the directions in the link I provided
+1 there ya go. Beat me to it.
Plus, I wouldn't even worry about backing up your stock ROM. Just flash the full official package. This will wipe your slate clean if you run into problems. Restoring nandroid backups leads to glitches eventually from what I've seen.
Sorry, I didn't see there was a second page here...I'm a bum.

Can someone please just give me a link to the easiest way for me to update my evo from froyo 3.7 to gingerbread? my phone is rooted with unrevoked and that's about it. I don't have any roms or anything crazy. the only rooted apps I use are the wi fi tether, cache mate, and titanium backup.
my phone keeps asking to download the OTA and I keep denying it. I tried searching but can't find what fits my situation.
thanks

You did the right thing, as updating will unroot you. You need to get a stock rom zip and flash it through recovery. Here is the zip you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455340
Get the rooted one, either odexed or deodexed depending on what you want. Do not get the unrooted one, or you will obviously be unrooted.
Easiest would be to flash a ROM. Seems like you want to stay stock, so try this. Back up anything you may want with Titanium Backup, then boot into recovery. Wipe everything except for SD card twice, flash and then you're good to go.
Unless you would like to update radios too, which may be good. Download this, it contains all new radios. Wipe cache and dalvik, then flash it. It'll have a box with green arrow, then reboot into recovery. The follow the directions above.

Boot into recovery, you may want to update that as well. If you want to do that, search for Amon Ra in the dev section and use that - directions should be in the thread. I wouldn't normally suggest it, but since you're a basic user then you can also download Rom Manager & "Flash Alternate Recovery" from there.
From there do a nandroid backup, it should be pretty easy to find. In Amon Ra you'll want to back up system, boot, data, wimax, and .android_secure - ClockworkMod doesn't give you options. Then wipe. In Amon Ra you'll want to wipe boot, system, data, cache, dalvik, .android_secure, and SD ext. In CWM you'll want to do a factory reset and wipe data, cache, and dalvik. Dalvik is under advanced iirc.
Then go to flash zip, choose zip, select the file you're flashing and confirm.
It's a quick and dirty guide but it should get you through.
Before doing all of this you'll want to backup your apps and data with Titanium Backup. Restore them after the flash. If you need more assistance then pm me, I have a detailed write up somewhere of the exact step by step. I did it a while ago based on flashing and using Amon Ra 2.3 (the original AR), but download links and directions are in the file.
Good luck!

backing up process of cwm and twrp is totally different.
To get back ur backed up rom,
either u have to flash the cwm again or make a huge modification.
Btw,dont post thanks/good/nice in all threads.
