Hi all,
I have a amonRA recovery installed in my tattoo and have made a nandbackup. Now i want to switch to Clockworkmod recovery. Can i somehow use the nand backup from amonRA recovery in clockworkmod recovery???
PLEASE HELP!!!!
If you used the one click root and recovery method, just stick the downloaded clockword recovery .img file in the sdcard folder. Run the recovery script, and you're done!

When the clockworkMod is installed, with the new menu you are able to make backup
all the times the you need.

Does ROM Manager work with AmonRa Recovery?
I'm asking this because I currently have Clockwork and when I try to flash an alternate recovery through ROM Manager, it says that features within ROM Manager will be unavailable until I flash Clockwork again.
So...hence my question. And if I wanted to switch to RA recovery, would I have to manually push it through adb or is using ROM Manager fine?

No, you can flash Amon through ROM manager, but if you want to manage the nandroid back-ups you've done through ROM manager, you need to flash back to clockwork recovery. I always keep Amon on since Clockwork may or may not wipe the dalvik cache properly, and only revert to clockwork recovery when I need to restore or create a back up of my ROM.
No need to use ADB unless you get some kind of an error flashing from ROM manager.

Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it.
I never knew how easy it is to flash the recoveries. I always thought I would have to push it through adb again like the time I rooted!
I'll def try what you are doing with keeping Amon and switching back to Clockwork when needed.
Thanks again for the help!
No worries; glad I could be of help.
Searched, but couldn't find an answer to this. I rooted and installed ROM Manager so I can do a nandroid backup before installing a custom ROM. However, when I press back up in ROM Manager, it restarts and hangs/freezes on the HTC MyTouch 4g splash screen.
What am I doing wrong?
Have you flashed CWM recovery after installing Rom Manager. You must flash the recovery before you can backup/restore or install roms. I almost did that myself but luckily i read the thread concerning it again and flashed REcovery before trying to back up rom.
Yeah, I did that first and the problem remains. I just uninstalled and reinstalled ROM Manager and am about to try "backup current rom" again (unless I should reboot into recovery and back up from clockwork recovery?).
FWIW; Current recovery is ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2
anyone?
Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I just started getting exactly the same. Cant reboot manually into clockwork recovery or from Rom manager :/
If you have flashed a recovery beyond that supported by ROM manager, you will not be able to perform recovery functions from the app (i.e. backup). CW3 is required for CM7 ROMs, but will not be supported by ROM manager until the CM7 RC drops. You can still manually boot to recovery (I always Vol up when powering then select Recovery) and if you have CM7 nightly installed, it has a "reboot to recovery" option in the reboot menu.
You need CWM3 to use CM7.

Sometimes it is necessary to flash clockwork recovery more than once before it will actually stick. Also, occasionally it will freeze on the splashscreen after a backup, but a battery pull and turning out the phone should be fine.

Here's what's going on:
The Clockworkmod Recovery that you can download from the Market only supports up to CyanogenMod 6.x. For CM7, you need to install Clockworkmod Recovery 3.x, but that version isn't available on the Market yet.
What this means is that you need to find the image file for a CWR 3.x on these forums and manually install it through either a terminal emulator or fastboot. The post below explains how to do it:

If you flash CM7 using CWR 2.x, your phone won't boot. There's just no way around it.

Careful with the terminology there. ROM Manager, the app you download from the Market, is a GUI front-end to the CWM recovery image, but you can download and install CWM without using ROM Manager at all. Just because you have ROM Manager installed doesn't mean that CWM recovery is also successfully installed.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't imply that CW ROM Manager and CW Recovery are the same thing though...

You said "the Clockworkmod Recovery that you can download from the Market", and that kinda does. No biggie though.
Just an update for my problem, it turned out that clockwork recovery had corrupted for whatever reason and couldn't be reinstalled from rom manager. As I wanted to test Cm7 anyways I just ended up flashing clockwork recovery 3 manually through fastboot and its all gravy again

How to flash clockwork recovery from fastboot or fron clockwork recovery 2.51?

Thanks, everyone. What happened with mine, I have no idea, but I randomly opened rom manager and was greeted with an update to the recovery. So I downloaded it and voila - I can now boot into recovery and do backups, etc...
when i boot the phone, bootloader - recovery , there i have clockwork 2.5.0.1.
when i choose reboot into recovery from rom manager, i have 2.5.0.7.
why i have 2 clockworkmod recovery ?

That is because ROM Manager downloads and stores a temp recovery on your sdcard which it loads when you reboot with it. When you reboot into recovery manually you're loading the recovery image that you flashed to your device with Unrevoked.
aha
so does it matter from what recovery i install a custom rom?

Say you accidently flash over your recovery.img (The system one, impossible unless you have S-OFF/do some exploit)... update.zip (Rom Manager one) to the rescue! And vice versa.
Most common use is if you have CWM 3.0.0.6 like me, and sometimes you need to use Amend scripts for radio, etc.
aha
but i do have s off
i just installed cm7 (Mills00013's cdma version) and was wondering if i go to the clockwork mod recovery app that was installed with it, would flashing clockworkmod recovery mess up my phone, or would it work because i heard that cm7 for xplay can use cmw recovery?
thanks in advance

Old thread, but Clockwork red is normally needed to get CM7 or MIUI started, then Clockwork Blue is installed, and you re-install the ZIP for CM7/MIUI full functional. Clockwork just replaces the stock recovery files.
You can't flash clockworkmod recovery. When you open rom manager, you'll notice that there is no available recoveries for our phones. In addition to that, there is no way for the system to flash a recovery if it wanted to because there is no actual recovery partition to overwrite for our devices. The recoveries we are blessed with using now use a kernel modification to allow recovery to boot from the boot partition, which cannot be touched except with fastboot.

I'd be very surprised if a ROM needed a specific recovery program installed. If you have TWRP and have taken a backup of your current ROM, then install the new one.
