PLEASEEEEEE Helpppppp

Ok so I am new to this but I rooteds my phone yesterday on my mac the first time I got an error and re did it and it worked but now when i try to add different roms in the recovery screen I see every option but nandroid back up how come it is not there? Do I really need it to download roms? If so how do I get the nandroid on there?

the screen you see without nandroid, is it a white or black background?

black with blue writing

the recovery screen do you think I should just try to re root it again? If so how do i get the first root off

if it's rooted there is no need to reroot, sounds like you have cwm recovery, there should be a backup option, you won't find the word "nandroid" but that's what it is, if there is no "backup" on that screen can you please list what options are available?

im in clockworkmod recovery v2.6.0.1
and there is an option that says back up and restore which falls under install zip from sdcard

you found them, I've been using RA so long I forgot where in clockwork they are

It seems as if you are seeing the factory recovery. Do you have root? Restart into bootloader, it should say s-off at the top of the screen. If it does, you got root. If it says s-on, no root. If your not rooted run Unrevoked, at the end of the process you should have a proper recovery. If you have root, dl Rom manager from the market and let that app install cw recovery or ra.

But it still doesnt say nandroid is that ok?

@ mis fit i have the icon for super user and am able to tether so im pretty sure it is rooted but I do not see the nandroid option

yes it says s - off i just checked so now once I open a zip file i thought you had to store it in the nandroid file in the sd card but i dont have a nandroid file

in clockwork it doesn't say nandroid, that's okay, make the backup and your fine

ok cool so where do i place the zip file after they are extracted

leave it where it puts it, it can only find it there, you can copy it to your computer just in case your sdcard fails

Ok, got it, using the Rom manager app it says "Backup Current ROM" and not android. Click on that and you're good to go.
If you are entering recovery using power and vol down or a power off app like quickboot, you won't see an option for nandroid right away either, its under backup/restore.
Sorry it took so long to reply. Driving.

[Q] Stuck on my Touch Splash Screen

Hi, I have rooted my phone and have s off. I've purchased rom manager and installed clockworkmod 3 and have backed up my phone.
When I try to flash the latest cyanogenMod Nightly I run into problems.
The phone gets wiped and updates and then it gets stuck at the Tmobile my touch splash screen. I've left it there for 10 minutes and still no cyanogen.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

Also I'm able to go back into recovery mode and restore my backup. So my phone is currently back in stock rom.

If you successfully backed up your phone you are not using Clockwork ROM Recovery 3.x. It's a well known fact that that Recovery image has problems backing up Nandroids, or restoring them for that matter.
What color was the text when you were in recovery? Orange or green?

Its Green, so I have clockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.2
So I need to update to the 3.x and I should be good?
Also to do a successfull back up of my nandroid I go to "backup and restore" and then select "backup"?
Thanks again for your help

if you are wanting CM7 yes you need to flash Clockwork ROM 3.0 via the Fastboot ADB commands. If you are wanting your phone to work you can flash of any of the other ROMS as of right now.
Clockwork ROM 3.x will not do nandroid back ups in it's current state. As Gingerbread comes closer to being an official or RC i'm sure they make sure it can do nandroids. nor will 2.x do nandroids of CM7. but to answer your question you are correct.

You are correct. See my thread here For the easiest way to install 3.0.0.5. And yes you can use Rom Manager for backups while on 2.5.1.2 but Rom Manager isnt compatable with flashing or backups for 3.0.0.5. You must use recovery.

I rooted, made a back up with Clockwork ROM Recovery 3.x. , flashed CM7 and everything was fine. Then I flashed Kernel_2.6.32.27grankin01-CM-GB-OC-v0.09 and when I unlocked the screen everything started force closing on a black screen. I locked the screen again, powered off and on again then it got stuck on the splash screen. I restored my back up and it's stuck on splash screen still. Then I tried to flash Kernel 2.6.32.21grankin010OC0v0.05 thinking my back-up might need a stock kernel. I am a super noob at this, I have successfully flashed roms to my tab before, but I've only been learning about this for about a month. I've been searching and searching but can't seem to find a solution. Am I screwed?

IMHO opinion you are not screwed.
When flashing custom Kernels you need to have a program like SetCPU so you can govern the CPU speed. To fast of a speed or to slow of a speed and it will not boot correctly. You need to flash a different version of CM7 than you are using now, via the recovery screen. make sure to wipe the handset first. that should reset the Kernel to one that Zinx knows works with the phone.
As well i wouldn't recommend flashing kernels with Nightlies. They are unstable as it. and you need to make sure the kernel is compatible with Nightly you are using. And you can over clock them to 1.5Ghrzf from w/ in the ROM.

HHHmmm I'm glad I never forget this step on the toilet! Thanks for the help!

Can someone help me please?

My phone won't get passed the t-mobile mytouch 4g screen. This happened after I backed up my stock rom using rom manager and did a full wipe to start clean ut no after I went back and restored my backup, my phone is stuck on the mytouch screen and won't get pass that. Is my phone bricked? or can it be saved? can someone pls help me? I just got this phone yesterday and rooted it with no problem. All I did after the root was add a custom kernel. Everything was going great until I restored my backup. Pls help. Thanks in advance.

try going into the bootloader. press power& the volume down button at the same time. then let it load, select the option to boot into recovery. once u do that wipe all cache, data, and restore the backup u made. but if it doesn't boot up again then it might be a defective backup. might have to start fresh with flashing a new rom. but keep trying once u boot into the phone tho. goodluck!

I tried that and still not working. Is there away I can get a stock rom to flash?

Now I can't even boot into clockworkmod recovery. Now it boots me to the stock recovery. How can I get clockworkmod recovery back? I can't flash a rom without it.

The phone still says s-off so I don't know what is wrong and since I bought the phone yesterday I can take it back to t-mobile to get a new one but won't they notice the s-off and not exchange it?

Use Fastboot. It is like adb, but only uses the bootloader on the phone. If you don't have the SDK installed, you can get adb and Fastboot from TrueBlue_Drew's thread in the dev subforum.

Is there an official update.zip I can probably apply through the stock recovery?

Thanks Jaylito and Jggimi for your help, was able to get into cwm recovery and flash a new rom. It looks like I had a bad backup. Thanks again to you both.

Help rooting phone. Trouble getting green recovery screen.

So I rooted my friends Vibrant last night. I rooted my Vibrant a few months ago and didn't run into this issue. But I rooted using the same program "Vibrant One Click Root/Unroot" and followed the same steps as I did when I rooted my phone. However, once I installed ROM Manager and installed Clockworkmod Recovery and booted into recovery and clicked reinstall packages, the phone just rebooted. I remember when I rooted my phone when I clicked reinstall packages it did its thing, then went back to the blue recovery screen. Then I clicked reinstall packages again and it took me to the green recovery screen where I was able to then install zip from sd. My friends phone just keeps booting to the blue recovery screen where I can only reboot now, reinstall packages, clear user data, and clear cache. He had to leave so I did not have time to troubleshoot.
Any ideas as to if I missed a step? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Sorry for the n00bish attitude, if this was my phone, I would put a little more effort into finding the answer. I'm just trying to get this done as soon as possible.

Are you using the actual clockwork app to boot into recovery? If so id just go back to stock and redo the root

Yeah, I went into ROM Manager and clicked "boot into recovery". Where it brings me to the blue recovery screen. So you think I should unroot then re root? Because everything with the root seemed to work fine. It installed superiser and I had no problems downloading Titanium Backup or ROM Manager and allowing superuser permissions. Which made me think I was just forgetting something...but I might just try that. Thanks!

if your rooting stock 2.2 your gonna need a modded 3e recovery or one of supercurios voodoo kernels with CWM & root already built in. Superoneclick will root stock 2.2. If its 2.1, then you may need to hit reinstall packages a couple of times to get it to take.

All you should need to do is hit reinstall packages again. When you do it the first time it will boot back into the same blue recovery again. Hit it once more then it should boot to the green recovery. If that doesn't work you probably have a bad zip file on the phone. In which case you'd re flash CWM again.
If you're not getting the superuser request when you flash CWM then root didn't take. Make sure root works first.

Did you actually run install cwm from rom manager so the update. zip is there?

Just make sure with Astro or another file manger that you have a .zip file and it should be 1.72 MB in size and you want that on your internal SD card....Then when you boot to recovery it should let you hit reinstall packages with no problem

I'm new here, but I have flashed 3 vibrants since last week. I had the same problem you did.
When I flashed my phone last week it was stock 2.2, so I had to flash the modified 3e recovery which fixed my issue getting into CWM to install my ROM. Today i was flashing a co-worker's vibrant who also was on stock 2.2. However, on his it would keep rebooting when reinstalling packages, even though i did the 3e recovery flash. I ended having to Odin back to 2.1 on his phone before i could flash the new ROM.
I just used AIO Vibrant Toolbox 2.5. Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the feedback!! I don't have the phone with me to check if the update.zip folder was for sure there. But if it is, I'll try reinstalling the packages again. Otherwise I'm just going to unroot and try rerooting with the AIO Toolbox. I'm not going to be able to do this until tomorrow though since our work schedules were pretty much opposite today. But once again, huge thanks to all of you!!! However I've never unrooted before...if I haven't flashed any ROMs, I shouldn't have any problems should I? Just click unroot?

[Q] So..I have a problem with going back to my factory rom

I need to make a warranty exchange, but if I send my phone in, and they see its rooted, Im going to get an out of warranty fee.
Its not letting me recover to my back up. Im completely lost as to what to do. I need to make it look like Ive never rooted my phone at all

You don't really expect to get much help with so little information, do you? What recovery and ROM do you have installed? How are you trying to go back to stock, a nandroid backup?

Sorry. Guess thats kind of important. lol
Recovery: 3.0.0.5
themed ice glacier 1.1.4
And form what the person who rooted my phone told me, that I now cant get a hold of, I just install from backup that he had originally made, when he flashed the rom. Sorry. I know Im a noob. Been extremely busy to actually learn. Go figure the guy whos been helping me, hasnt been answering his phone

CWM 3.0.0.5 can only flash Gingerbread ROMs, and the stock image you're trying to restore is a Froyo ROM. All you need to do is switch to CWM 3.0.0.6 and you can successfully revert back to stock.

1. Go here to install this CWM version, which will allow you to flash 3.0.0.6 and older CWM, which you need to go back to stock nandroid restore (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681).
2. Go here for how to restore stock nandroid (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845756). Make sure you flash older CWM recovery when restoring stock nandroid. After restoring, you can follow thread and instructions to turn S-on again.

You do not need to use any recovery other than 3.0.0.6 to restore the stock nandroid image.
