This. ROM Manager is useless and its CWM versions will hose your phone. Do not use either.

Chances are that when you backed up with Rom manager it did not actually do a backup. On a phone where Rom manager does work the backup function in Rom manager just reboots your phone into clockwork and starts the backup automatically for you. Since Rom manager does not work with the epic, I'm assuming this did not happen.

The alternative is that one you have clockwork installed, power down the phone. Then hold volume down, camera button, and power button all at the same time. It d should boot into clockwork. Make and restore your backups from there.

I original had backed up the stock rom in rom manager but it seems that after installing sense the rom backup has been lost. Is there any way to get back to stock?

Looks like you have the same question I asked in the Sense thread. I will hold off on flashing that rom until the question is answered. Thanks
So you did a nand backup through Clockwork right?

you could try
downloading the stock g2 rom
rename it to PC10IMG.zip
put it on the root of the sd card
Power off
hold volume down + power
flash it as you did the sense rom
My phone also screwed up when flashing the sense ROM, but I manages to nand back...

Probably your only option. The thread for this can be found here.
Most ROMs on the site right now will wipe everything on your phone. You should have made a Nandroid through Clockwork and then back it up on your computer first.
Also, wrong section! This kind of stuff belongs in the General forum.
Yeah downgrade and reflash is your only option at the moment.

Yeah thats what I thought. If you were able to do a nand back up, then all you have to do is wipe and restore to it.

I should probably check b4 posting this, but.... if you boot into recovery, can u see it there? Ill check it out. One min lol
Edit:: I was able to see my backup from within recovery directly. Boot with Vol. Down. highlight Recovery and Press Power to boot into recovery.
from there, you should see clockworks recovery, green menus. Using the vol. keys, highlight the option you want, and use the trackpad to Select, and power button as a Back button.
Goodluck

Flashing the stock G2 rom as PC10IMG reverts the phone to its original state with S-off.
I tried it myself
I have a problem, I am running FR007 and I can't get Clockwork to make a working backup. If I try to restore from the backup it gives MD5 error. I also tried using Rom Manager and it gives me the android with the triangle error. What do I need to do to get a working backup.
Try titanium backup or Astro File Manager.

Out of curiosity, when you turn off your phone or, restart it, whatever it is that you do to get into clockwork...do you have your phone plugged in with the usb cable?
Yeah I get into clockwork and do a android backup but if I try to restore I get an,error. MD5 something. Titanium and astrology don't do android do they.

lol @ astrology. damn auto correct lol. anyway, you didn't pay attention to my question. do you have your phone hooked up to usb when you are rebooting to go into clockwork?
Yeah auto correct gets me alot. And no I don't have anything hooked to the phone when I try to backup.

are you renaming the backup folder?
No. It won't sync with HTC sync either if that helps.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
same thing happened to me for almost all of my backups, i think it was because i put in a custom kernel. I switched back and it started to work again.
I downloaded and installed the nero beta 3 and now I am trying to install nero v1 from rom manager. When I click to make a backup it restarts but puts me in the android boot loader. I do not have an option for backing up. I flashed clockwork twice but still no success.
Did u click reinstall packages or something
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
That is an option in the android boot loader but I did not click that.
I believe its the Rom manager that'd having problems. I reverted back to prior update of rom manager, and it worked. Dont update the latest one in the market. If u have auto, uncheck that, so it wouldn't update your rom manager.

To get into the clockwork after u flash it click reinstall packages and it should reboot and go back to stock mode and click reinstall again and it should come with green text and its clockwork.
If that doesn't work try another idea.

I am assuming this may be something simple to most but I can't figure it out.
In the rooted version of GB I just flat out can't get into CWR.
I have tried all different button combos at startup as well as the Reboot into recovery option in Rom Manager and just can't get there.
Suggestions?
Use the droid 2 bootstrap,i was having problems with the rom manager one too, the droid 2 bootstrap works fine

I found out that if you turn off debugging on the phone the DX Bootstrap will work fine.
Phone Hangs on Motorola Logo
Hi folks,
I flashed a ROM through ROM Manager and told it to back up, wipe, etc... it went through all the steps... backed up the old ROM... installed the new one..
Now it hangs on Boot at the Motorola Logo. Won't go any further and the phone will not boot back into Clockwork Recovery. All that happens is the default Blue recovery panel comes up and only lets me select to flash update.zip.
This of course does not work and installation aborts.
Any ideas here?
Thanks,
Chris

When you get into stock recovery, perform a factory reset/wipe multiple times. It works the same as Clockwork on this aspect.
I have the same problem. Ron manager never got me into cwm. I can use bootstrap to get into cwm but it will only allow me to use the volume buttons. When I use the power button it will appear to work but all that happens is the screen flashes. I have Uninstalled Rom manager but I think I have to delete the cwm file for it to actually function. Anyone have some ideas.
Hi all, sorry im an IT noob,
But after using alpharevx to s-off and nej's method, i've successfully rooted my phone..
Now what do i do nxt?
How to flash a rom?
IF possible someone give me a step by step guide pls thanks
You need to install clockword mod recovery first.
Then create a gold card.
You can then copy new ROM files to your SD card and then boot into recovery to install them.
This is very primitive, but let me know if u encounter any problems.
Google is your friend

Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Put that file in memory card.
Then reboot to recovery.
Then select option to do factory reset / wipe data / wipe cache / wipe dalvik cache.
Then select install zip from sdcard. Then select choose zip from sdcard. Then select ur file downloaded. That's all. Takes about 5min to install and 5min to 1st boot.
And in recovery mode, the trackpad should be used for selecting option. And power button for go back option. If u r stuck with an android picture then press power button.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Can you get to the recovery?
Flash it
And regarding cm7 also download google apps and flash in the same way.
And that's all for cm7 AFAIK. u don't need any extra kernels if u r a simple user. OC KERNEL is also inbuilt. Check cyanogenmod settings under settings.

Nandroid backup should be done before installing a custom rom. It is must if u ask me bcoz it clears many issues.
And titanium backup is for advanced users to be used after flashing a custom rom. Yes kernel might change depending on its presence in the custom rom. But don't worry. Custom kernels will be better than stock kernel.
Edit: Titanium backup can also be used before installing custom rom to backup contents. These contents can be restored after installing custom rom.

You can do a nandroid backup in the recovery.
Backup/Restore option if my memory is correct.
Then just click backup and wait a bit
Nandroid backup can be done from the custom recovery. Explore it and u will find it under nandroid. Takes 5 min to backup. A size if around 250MB on sdcard will be used.
And Google apps is a zip file around 10mb which can be flashed in the same way from the custom recovery as a custom rom flashing process.

You need a nandroid backup BEFORE flashing a rom, because that's like a system recovery image. If something goes wrong, you can still go back.
