There's your problem.
ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 is for Gingerbread-based (Android 2.3) ROMs. Evil 4G is a Froyo-based (Android 2.2) ROM. These different versions of Android use incompatible filesystems.
How to recover:
1. Download CyanogenMod 7, a Gingerbread-based ROM, to your PC. Choose the newest release candidate (RC2) or the most recently Nightly build.
2. Boot into CWM Recovery, select "mounts and storage" and make your SD card mountable via USB.
3. Copy the CM7 .zip file to your SD card.
4. Install the .zip after a full wipe / factory reset
5. If you want to stay with CM7, also download the Google Applications (Gapps) .zip to your PC, copy to your SD card and and install it after you complete the install of CM7.
6. Boot CM7.
7. If you want to install Evil 4G, run Rom Manager and have it flash CWM Recovery 2.5.1.2, then reboot into Recovery, full wipe / factory reset, and install Evil as previously planned.

Thanks Ill get on it....
So could I just get CM7 on there then get an older version of clockwork to use the backup I made for the Mytouch rom I had before?
Or is the backup I made pretty much lost because Im using Clockwork V3?

Your backup was made with an incompatible version of CWM Recovery. It may not be usable. That said, some people have reported in the some of the many many threads on this subject that they have been able to restore a Froyo backup made with V3, while running V2. Your results might match theirs. The steps I show above let you stop at CM7 or continue on to Evil 4G, and do not include restoring your Stock ROM.

this gets you running with the 2 versions of recovery, one for froyo, one for gingerbread. whichever backup you want to restore, just use the matching recovery so your old backup is fine

I neglected to mention CWMR 3.0.0.6, that camrs73 just posted about, with a link to its main thread. This is a custom version of CWM Recovery built by option94 that supports both Froyo and Gingerbread filesystems. In order to install it, you need to have a functioning Android system first. You can install it =after= you get CM7 or Evil 4G up and running.

Ok thank God lol
Thanks for the Input guys Ill flash CM7 then download that Clock work and let you know how it went.

* Update im running Cm7 and getting CW installed.

From here if you install 3.0.0.6 Clockwork recovery image (link in my signature) you can flash between 2.2 and 2.3 ROMS w/o any problems.

Yes!!! Im saved!!!
Thanks jggimi ,camrs73 and of coarse neidlinger for your clockwork mod!!
One more question...can I have more than one backup saved on Clockwork?

you can have as many as storage space allows and flash whichever one you feel like at the time (with the appropriate recovery of course)

brick Nexus S

Hello. i am new to the android family
i have a nexus s GT-9020T
i have rooted my phone but without setting the clockworkmod reovery.
today i was playing with the rom manager and downloaded one of the rom from the list. after installation i was unable to start the phone only seeing the google logo with the unlock logo.
i went back into the recovery by typing flash recovery recovery.img etc.
run a restore and restart the phone but still not work
my nexus s is 2.3.4 by the way.
please assist

What "restore" did you run?
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062
And download the full rom:
Model: i9020T
Full Rom: GRJ22, KD1
That'll revert your Nexus S to the latest completely stock 2.3.4
Then you can flash recovery again and go back to clockwork mod and go flash another rom or whatever.
Remember when you're flashing a new rom you need to wipe data and cache and dalvik cache.

i run an restore from the backup that i made before installing the new rom using clockwork mod recovery, its part of the option when installing the rom using the rom manager * click box - backup * etc something like that

Next time don't use Rom Manager to make backups or flash roms. It's stupid and can get you issues like you're having.
Anyways, try wiping data and cache then restoring the backup, do it in Clockwork Recovery.
Let it boot, first boot always takes a while, 5-10 minutes. If you see the boot animation freeze, stop and restart, then yeah it's screwed up, otherwise, just let it is.
If still not working from your backup, do what I said in previous reply, just restore to stock 2.3.4 then re flash clockwork mod and start over with the rom you want to flash.

thank your nxt. i have found the real problem. it was not my backup problem or the rom that u provided. it was the version of my clockwork mod recovery. i was using an 2.x.x.x to restore the phone which is why it doesn't work. everything work fine now after i flashed with an 3.x.x.x and restore the phone. one question thou, where can i always find the newest clockwork mod recovery release ? thank you very much

Are you running custom ROM? If you are, it's already made to not revert back to stock recovery. If you leave it stock recovery you'll get notifications for firmware updates by Google, but remember that applying those to a rooted phone might screw things up too.

the blue one is stock recovery right?

Can't install a rom

Hey,
I did everyting I s-offed I did the clockworkmod recovery thing also I made a backup but I can't install a custum rom it keeps saying.
Installing update and nothing happens?
I wiped all date etc.
Please help me

If u r trying to install gingerbread rom (2.3) then u need a clockworkmod recovery 3.x and + to do that.
And if u r trying to install froyo or lower (2.2 or lower), then u need a clockworkmod recovery 2.x to do that . I think this is what u r facing. If so, then open rom manager and flash 2.5.0.7 recovery. This creates a file called "update.zip" on root of memory card. Now go to custom recovery and first flash the update.zip which gives u clockworkmod 2.x temporarily on the fly. Now u can start the installation of 2.2 or lower roms.
Hope it helps

The only possibility then might be the rom file might have gone bad. (AFAIK).
If so downloading a fresh one might help. Although i can't say anything sure.

I have to update my MiniCM rom...

Hello, I installed a long time ago this rom and I haven't followed the updates since then. Now I wanna install the latest version (1.0.2, not 2.0.1). I have MiniCM 1.0, do I only have to install the update.zip like any other roms?
How can I backup my sms? I installed a version of Backup and Restore that I found here but I can't find again the thread of that
EDIT: If you think another rom is better, just tell me and I'll try it

First of all you have to install clockworkmod recovery or dualmode recovery.
then download MiniCM6
boot into clockworkmod recovery
install custom.zip
if you want to keep your data don't do a factory reset but wipe cache.
Sony Ericsson Backup and Restore app can be found here
If you want clean Froyo (CM6) ROM then I would recommend Floyo by Racht or MiniCM6 by ponanovn (NobodyAtAll)
If you want froyo with gingerbread features try Froyobread by doixanh
If you want Gingerbread try XGin 5.4 by shpit or Hackdroid by racht(if you don't care about camera and FM)

I installed Froyobread and it's great, thanks!

Have you rooted your phone?
If so then boot into clockwork recovery and install the zip you downloaded from the thread...You don't need your computer to install the ROM.

After you have done those two things all you have to do is to put the .zip from the rom on your SD card, go to CWM (ClockWorkMod Recovery) wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache from advanced, then go to flash .zip from sd card, find the .zip and flash it. Reboot your phone and viola
