My first post and im sure i missed it somewhere. Ive spent the past 2 hours reading and searching for some help. I want to do nandroid back up. EXACTLY how do igo about it?
I justgot myG2 a week ago. A day ago i perm rooted it and then overclocked.
I came from a back flip that i rooted and installed j_rodds recovery and rom.
Do i need to do the same custom recovery like j_rodds?
Use rom manager and click "flash clockworknod"

Yea. After you flash clockwork. You can either backup while in rom manger or when your phone is off hold vol down+power then go to recovery. There should be an option backup/restore. Lol note use the track pad to navigate

Once you flash ClockworkMod recovery using ROM Manager, you can also perform the nandroid through ROM Manager, as well. I prefer this because it gives you an opportunity to rename the backup before you create it (instead of getting a seemingly random number sequence). I.e. you could have 'CM7-Feb20' instead of '032301-110235003'
Think of ROM Manager as a GUI for recovery.

Its not a random number sequence, its the date and time the backup was made.

True, but if you have more than about 3, it gets a bit confusing. Much easier if they're appropriately named.
When I try this by powering off the phone and restarting with holding down the volume key. Then going into recovery. I get a triangle with a red exclamation point.
Need to flash clockwork in rom manger

Open rom manager, the very top option is to flash clockworkmod recovery. Do that.

I have followed everyones instructions. But I still get the triangle with red exclamation when I try to get into recovery at boot.
DL ROM manager from app store, install ROM manager, open ROM manager, press "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"(should be first thing at the top), confirm phone model.
Either reboot into recovery, or scroll down to backup, and proceed to do so.

Have followed this as well. When I try to boot into recovery I get the triangle with red exclamation.
I have done all the suggestions as listed above. I have noticed when i boot by holding down the volume and power, At the top of screen it still says s-on.
Shouldnt it be S-off with root?
Im over clocked with set cpu, have superuser permission app and terminal emulator show su, and titanium backup shows root. So have i missed something and that would explain why i cant get into recovery?
HELP????

Getting root and s-off from my understanding are 2 different things. Root is its own thing and s-off lets you falsh custom roms..... try going into rom manager and clicking flash clockworkmod.....do it like 2 times. You should be fine

Subsidy unlock is what you want.

Ah thanks so much. Now I'm perm rooted. Subsidy(sim) unlocked and over clocked to 1.4ghz. But the oc won't stick on reboot. I have to go into g script and do it. Also got the nandroid to work after s- off.

Hello everyone,
I've followed the directions for the s-off and permaroot to the "T". I have s-off in stock recovery, but when I reboot I don't get superuser permissions automatically in terminal, or any other root app.
I temp rooted again with visionary 14, went back into terminal and sync. Waited again for 2 minutes, rebooted and still, no root at boot. Any suggestions?
P.S. sorry if this is a repost, I've searched for this in many threads, but no luck. Disregard with a link if so. Thank you in advanced.
If you have s off then use visionary to attempt perm root. That's what I did and I now have s off and root permissions.

He's hitting the buttons right, it's just that he's got the stock recovery installed.
Flash clockworkmod again, then try rebooting into recovery mode using rom manager.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
If you're still getting red triangle after flashing cwr, check the option "erase stock recovery" or something like that in settings. That worked for me.
Yeah that's what I did. I checked it, reflashed clockwork, fixed permissions and problem solved. Now the big cm6.1 or baconbits decision..
Thanks for all the help guys

Sounds like you still have the stock recovery installed. Go into your hboot mend (power button and down on the volume rocker) and make sure that you have s-off, then download Rom manager from the market and flash clockwork recovery.

Thanks for the response. S is on - what do I do to get it off? The reason I used visionary is because I have no access to a pc - just a macbook.
Also, I have already downloaded clockwork and flashed

Flash the Recovery ROM again. Your first attempt must have failed. The red triangle -is- the stock recovery (which only shows that screen, nothing more).
couldnt say it better, Would recommend using computer to go through process just to understand the details of rooting. Very helpful,

You do not need a PC to root you phone. IIRC Android does have an SDK for apple computers
any who you can turn s=off via a script. The Unlockr has a kick @$$ walk through for doing it. The Unlockr
Basically you download This file
and
extract the folder from with in the .zip
then you store that folder on the root of the SD card
Download "terminal emulator" from the market
then from within the Term. Emul
$ su
# cd/sdcard/root
# sh root.sh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And it will push/edit the files needed for "s=off" on your phone
after you've done that boot into BootLoader (how down the volume down button and power button when you turn on the device) make sure at the top it says s=off.
after you do that Flash the Clockwork ROM Recovery Image.
Instructions worked great.
Except now I have flashed iced glacier on - and every time I try to use the internet, the page fully loads then immediately closes and returns to home screen. Mini Opera works fine though.. ?

Ok bought an evo on eBay, after getting rid of my evo for a blackberry and realizing I made a huge mistake. It's used but like new.
I go to the boot screen and it says s-off. Then I select recovery but it goes to an evo with a red triangle.
What can I do?
Thanks

If you can acess the bootloader, I would recommend searching in the rooting wiki and look for a PCIMG file place that in the root of the sd card(hopefully your comp has a media reader) and insert the sd card with that file and the bootloader should detect when you select recovery.
What that file does is resets everything on the phone to stock. if you could find a RUU that might work but if your comp cant see the phone its useless i hope this helps

If you're s off, your rooted. The triangle means you have no recovery. All you need to do is flash a PC36IMG of recovery, using the bootloader. Once you do that, you'll have recovery, and can flash a rom of your choice. That's it. No need to re root or ruu or anything like that. Just recovery, that's it.

This would probably be the easiest thing. DL clockwork from the market and install the recovery I prefer amon_ra it will be at the bottom under alternate recoveries. Also do a nand backup as soon as you have a recovery.
I agree with above, just get rom manager from the market and flash a recovery...simple

SUre, give me one sec to upload a file for you. And as the other guys suggested, flashing a recovery using ROM manager would be your easiest bet. HOWEVER, if you dont have the SUPER USER app, (which i bet you do not), rom manager wont work. t herefore you cant flash anything with it.
So give me one sec, and i'll upload what you need to flash, with instructions for ya
EDIT: I attatched a recovery for you. It's Amon Ra V2.3. Download the PC36IMG, and leave it named exactly as it is. Place the file on the main directory (root) of your sd card. Power your phone off completely. Then boot to the bootloader by holding the power and volume down buttons simultaneously. When it gets to the bootloader, after a sec it will scan for files, and find the PC36IMG. It will then ask you if you want to update, so select yes (volume UP). Once it's done flashing, it'll ask you to reboot. Select no. Then choose the 'recovery' option from the bootloader menu. You should now successfully boot into Amon Ra V2.3 recovery. From that point, you can create a backup of your current setup. Then you can perform a full wipe, and then flash the rom of your choice.
And what ever you do DON'T restore a nandroid from your old phone. You will wipe out your 4g if the wimax partition is included in the nandroid.

Ok that worked. I now have Amon ra recovery
But, lol, one more question. Amon ra has changed since I've had an evo.. now when I select backup, it has a list of things I want to back up with "[x]" next to them. Which items should I select? It didn't have that feature in the past so I'm a little lost.

Right, that feature was added after version 1.8.0 (which I still use). I believe you want to check all of the boxes, for your first backup. (I'm not sure if you need to have everything checked after that, but I'm sure it couldn't hurt). I've seen people say that you only need to back up your wimax one time, then keep the file in a safe place (it's your RSA keys), however I just can't see what the problem is with backing it up each time. I kind of like the simplicity of 1.8.0, just hit backup and let it do it's thing. Whatever the heck 1.8.0 automatically backs up on its own, works perfectly fine for me, lol.
So I would just check everything off, and then let it perform the backup.
EDIT: and sorry I don't have more info on that for ya. I'm sure someone else who regulrarly uses ar 2.3 will chime in, and give you a more solid answer. I just simply don't use that recovery, as I never saw a need to 'upgrade' from 1.8.0, because it has always worked flawlessly for me. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'd say you could use 1.8.0 if you wanted to, but I believe it won't work on the 004 hardware phones with the 0040000 size erase block.
Ok cool.
Thanks again
And yes i remember the simple way, things are supposed to get easier as time goes on, not more complicated, haha!

Hi,
I have MT4G unlocked with S-OFF.
When I installed ROM Manager I get a message that it can be proceed to backup my phone, since it's not rooted.
If I have S-OFF, it doesn't mean that my phone in rooted?
When I open my device with power+L Volume I can't see the option that I can NANDORID or ROM Manager in the menu.
Please advice.
S-OFF means - the bootloader doesn't protect internal memory, and you can actually flash things.
Rooted means - you have root privileges in your OS.
Download Visionary APK, run it and select "temp root". You'll gain temporary root.
If you want to remain on stock OS - select "perm root" afterwards.
If you want to change the ROM anyway - just run ROM manager with temp root, flash the recovery, and go from there.
I apologize in advance and assure you im not trying to hijack your thread but I've tried this several times but can't get the recovery to start up once I reboot I just get the phone icon with the triangle and exclamation point and I've tried every method of rooting that is stickied in this forum!!

that means clockwork didn't either:
install at all
or install correctly
in either case, reinstall it.
Redownload ROM Manager if you have to first, then run it and install clockwork manager. If the program works it should list your phone, then hit it and it should say "Successful!"
source: me because it happened to me yesterday when I was flashing 2.3.4 GB rooted. Had to re-do ROM Manager
First off I apologize for my ignorance.
I perma rooted my friends mt4g. I am sure its something stupid but I downloaded rom manager and flashed the recovery.
The recovery didn't seem to work. Everytime I try to it goes to stock recovery. With the!
I'm not familiar with mt4g. So I apologize if this is a stupid question. I couldn't find an answer as tto what I did wrong.

How are you trying to get into recovery? You can go into ROM manager and select reboot into recovery or you can power down the phone, hold down power+volume down and select it from hboot. Remember, in Hboot make selections using the power button and in recovery make selections using the trackpad. If you still cant get in re-flash recovery.
Now that I think about it, are you sure you are permrooted? Go into your Hboot to check. Make sure s=off.

You have visionary set to root on boot. You have to follow the steps to achieve permroot. You might want to try the gfree method. It is in the development forum under ultimate s off sticky.
No. I have temp root on boot off. Lol. That's the weird part. I stays rooted but it says s on. I will look up that method though thanks.
