I had a Samsung Vibrant before selling it and getting the MT4G. On the Vibrant, when you flashed recovery from Rom Manager, it put an update.zip file on the root of the internal zip. That is not the case when flashing recovery from MT4G.
Where is the image file for CW recovery located? I'm not talking about nandroid backup but the actual recovery flash image

Recovery doesn't work that way on phones other than the vibrant. The recovery is written to the phone and doesn't need to be applied at every reboot.
That being said,
The recovery.img is located in /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/
Ok thanks for clarifying that.
One more question, if I wanted to go back to complete stock rom, kernel, radio, I downloaded a *.img file from xda forum, not a clockwork flashable zip. Do you know of a clockwork flashable zip that has stock rom 2.1.1, radio, and modem? I tried finding one but all I could find was an image to be put on root of sd, renamed, and then flashed with hboot.
Thanks again for your response

TheUnlockr did have a barebones stock Nandroid back up on their site. that is flash-able via the Clockwork Restore protocol... Yea yea yea i know posting nandroids are dangerous. What they did was pull out a new MyTouchHD not install the SIM card and start the phone up. Flashed a recovery image via ADB then pulled the nanadroid back up off the SD card.
With that being said there are few of them floating around here. I know i have one in my Google Docs. If someone needs it please PM me.
Granted this doesn't put everything back to a stock format, like the OP requested, but it does give you a HTC MySense ROM. If one should lose their Nandroid back up.

Does this flashable restore point include the original radio and kernel as well. I know that a typical nandroid backup does not include the radio or kernel. Thanks for helping

I was wondering if theres a stock rom zip file out there. I dont wanna take the s off or do a nano restore. That would work and still get OTa's.
There is a safe nandroid restore of a clean stock install in the dev section. It will not turn S on. Go to the dev section, it is in a sticky called "resource bible". The link is called "stock nandroid restore". Download the file from the links op and use it to perform a nandroid restore. You will then have a blank slate with S on.

hmmm gonna try it
but i was looking for a zip rom thats stock. then going thew the whole nano restore. i Did a nano restore before and it didnt do anything. it Just went to the mytouch screen. then stayed there. I then put the S back on and then did a nano restore and it worked. But i was wondering if theres anyone with a zip stock version. like that i can zip different roms and if i dont like em. i can always go back directly to stock. with out going threw the process of visionary and terminal em.

The restore I referred to will not break root and will allow you to flash roms. They're is a zip restore in the same section but that one does revert your bootloader so it essentially breaks root. The nand restore won't break root. The reason you were stuck at the loading screen is probably due to the version of clockwork recovery you have installed. You either need version 2.0.5.2 or the newest version 3.0.0.6 for the nandroid to work. Clockwork recovery v3.0.0.6 will let you flash between froyo and gingerbread roms so I suggest using that one. I'll bet you're on v3.0.0.2 or 3.0.0.5. Those versions won't boot froyo roms or nand restores.

UPDATE: To fix 3.0.2.4 from not formatting /system
Open rom manager and select settings, and check erase recovery. hit menu again and select clear cache, then flash 3.0.2.4 again.
now if your in recovery and you cant boot back up to use rom manager, use the file below. It will allow you to restore your backup then once booted back up use the method above to fix 3.0.2.4.
The reason im leaving custom over 3.0.2.4 is bc i know fastboot flash with this one will allow you to restore without wiping recovery or clear cache or anything else.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/b8ejhqbf3tgnsoe/recovery.img - this is CMW 3.0.1.4 just altered for installing zips. linking for people needing a recover img to boot up
To install:
1. If in recovery, open ur terminal on ur pc and type adb reboot boatloader
2. Once in bootloader it will load fast boot and say fastboot usb in red
3. cd to the folder with fastboot.exe and also place recover.img in that folder
4. then enter fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. adb reboot recovery
6. restore your backup and boot up
RafficaX said:
Little FYI for all, cwm recovery wont format system on a restore. made a backup, tried a flash and went to restore and it fails formatting system.
So be careful with flashing and all bc yo may not be able to restore currently with cwm.
UPDATE: format system in menu also fails! be careful bc you pretty much cant restore or flash atm!

I ran into the same problem. I tried to do a restore and got stuck. I used an sd card reader and put the 3rd file from the root thread PG05IMG.zip on the root of my sd card. I then put the card back in. Rebooted into recovery holding the volume down and the power button. It reflashed the file automatically and I followed the steps from 7 on to regain root. Worked for me, but now I have to start over. Hopefully they will get CWM working again. I will be much more careful about what I delete from now on. I think I will freeze it in TiBackup first to make sure everything is still working correctly. Hope this helps.

Can any one provide some more detailed instructions for this process than what is posted with bandroidx's release thread.
Thanks in advance.
Download the ROM zip to your sdcard, then open the app and bootstrap recovery, then reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache (in advanced) and then choose to install zip from sdcard and select the rom zip you downloaded earlier. :O

I'd do a backup with titanium backup, and then also backup in recovery by going to backup and restore.

You can also flash the "SBF" file using RSDLite, that takes you back to a 100% stock configuration.

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!

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

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?

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

Why don't you get a PC36IMG of your recovery instead, so you can then flash whatever rom you want or recover your backup?
