[Q] ROM MANAGER and NO ClockWorkmod Recovery

Hi, guys!
Did any of you experience the problem, when after installing Rom Manager, whatever you choose from the menu, it says "you have to install ClocworkMod Recovery from the Rom Manager first..."?
And yet, when I confirm that, it doesen't do anything!!?? Reports no problem, but I cannot use any of the functions in Rom Manager, except "boot in recovery". I have of course, rooted the phone with Unrevoked3.
So my question would be, how to install Clockwork Recovery (UI)?
The other question is which partition to make? EXT, EXT2 or EXT3?
And about the backup... When I made my Nandroid backup it didn't make me a .zip file. Instead I got a "backup" directory with several files in it. Does that count as a ROM backup? Shoud I make a .zip file out of it? Or just rename it as one? Or what...???
Believe me, I' ve searched the forums and did not come up with these answers. So it hasn't been explained clearly yet.
Some help, please??

Its not meant to be a zip... if you want to restore the backup just boot into recovery and select nandroid restore and pick your backup it created.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Rom Manager... That did the trick, as the newer version has arrived just after my first install... Stupid, yet there's no warning...

NANDROID = ROM Backup???

Does this backup (nandroid) count as a ROM backup? In case flashing a new ROM goes bad or if I just wish to revert to my previous one?

Yeah its a rom backup. What else would nandroid be for.

[Q] Backup HD2 Nandroid?

What is the best way to back up Nandriod on an HTC HD2? I have an aversion to trying most of the methods because they seem to all be specifically tailored to Native Android phones.

I take it that you have MAGLDR and Clockwork installed... why not just backup using the AD Recovery option in MAGLDR 1.13 and then choosing 'Backup and Restore'. Then just follow your nose.

So to clarify;
ClockworkRecoveryMod isn't its own ROM?
Nor will it override my current rom if I installed the rom before CRM?

You need to wipe your current rom to install clockwork. Flash clockwork from Magldr "usb flasher" then access clockwork with "boot ad recovery" option on magldr. Once in clockwork, install roms in zip format from SD card. You can also do full backup/restore and partition SD for sd-ext using clockwork.

I am also interested to know how to do it

Ironically the program in Clockwork is actually called 'Nandroid Backup' lol. It's not got to doo with HD2 and NAND Android though.
Basically you can't flash CWM and keep your current DFT ROM. It'll erase it as when you have clockwork you don't install ROM's by DFT flasher, you do it by .zip files on the phone.
Basically if you want to backup your settings and apps use a program like 'Titanium Backup' or 'MyBackup Pro'. Mybackup is my personal favourite, but it's up to you. It saves to your SD card so you can keep the file stored on your PC incase you need to back up.

Right Scellyyy and I also suggest to backup the SD card on the PC because for some ROM's you need to format or partition the SD card.
So if the Originial ROM is backuped you are now able to restore all the data.
1. Backup with Titanium or so
2. Copy whole SD card to PC
3. Be sure to have the actual installed ROM
4. Install Mag, Cwm and the NAND ROM of your choice with the certain tutorial for that
5. If you don't like it: Just flash the old ROM
6. Copy SD data back
7. Restore backup and your done

When i choose "AD Recovery" i get the message:"No boot source"

you have to flash clockworkmod recovery aka cwm. it's basically a separated partition for nandroid.

Really confused can anyone please help

I have rooted my hero using androot, downloaded rom manager and let it flash clockwork recovery that worked, i turned my phone off then on again with the power and home buttons pressed, did a back up with no problems. This bit confused me, i did the power on with the home and power buttons pressed just to make sure it worked, and i got the phone with a red triangle again, what does this mean ?? :S

It means your clockworkmod recovery is gone, and you have no recovery image. Maybe it's because androot. It is not a complete root. To check your backup, just search in your sd card. There must be a nandroid folder.
To get back recovery, mayby you should use rom manager again or do a full root.

What you need to do is
1. Make sure you have a custom rom Zip on your SD card
2. Do Androot
3. Do Nand Backup
4. Full wipe
5. install your Custom rom
and you are done.. once you install the custom rom you can keep going to recovery as many times as you want

thanks i did that and it worked
running Elelinux 7.0.0 now

Switching to a new rom

So I want to try a different rom. I have done a backup on titanium backup and I have rom manager. All I need to do is a install from rom manager, download titanium backup and do a restore?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

It depends on the rom you have now and the one you want to flash. You may have to partition your phone if the new rom requires a bigger/smaller partition. If you don't partition correctly your phone won't boot into the new rom. It will either boot loop or get stuck at one of the boot screens.

Easiest way would be: Go into recovery and make a full backup, transfer the backup to the new SDcard and restore it from there.

to enter recovery mode keep pressed home+power buttons while device is off.. don't let them go until you are in recovery... if you use CWM simply go in "backup and restore" and choose "backup"... in TWRP should be something similar, but as i haven't been using TWRP for months i can't be more specific sorry...

This would be the second time I ask you to use the Search feature.
Come on! How hard could it be to search how to go into recovery, or how to make a nandroid back up?
How did you install your ROM when you don't know how to get into recovery? (just wondering)
To go into recovery:
Boot up MAGLDR's menu > Choose option "AD recovery".
That's recovery. To back up, choose >backup and restore > then backup.
To restore, the same thing but select restore instead of backup (duh).
Edit:
@lukes91 He's not using cLK.
