Hey Guys,
I'm a newb to rooting and have come across a problem. I rooted using the onetouch method and everything was peachy. Downloaded Mod manager and cyanogen 6.1, but when trying to load it I got stuck on a bootloop. I flashed back to the backup I saved and decided to try amon ra, however I didn't realize that the backups were different. I tried 6.1 again with the same results, however now I don't have a NANDROID backup (but I have the clockwork backup). I've tried loading different kernels to get cyanogen to work and resave the backup by going back through clockwork instead of amon ra. Is this possible and what can I do to get a mod running so I can access the program?
Cheers

so recently i have been using ROM Manager from the market. this app allows me to flash and backup roms right from the app BUT i have to use the clockwork image. so my problem is that ever since i've flashed DC v2.0 i havent been able to update my recovery image from the app AND i can't revert back to RA from adb.
any help would be appreciated.
thank you
Nextime, nandroid too.
well the thing with clockwork recovery is that for cdma heros, we can't press down on anything.
but its okay i got it. i just rerooted via terminal.
After putting a new kernel on my device running cm 6 RC1 and supposedly clockworkmod recovery latest, I now do not have a working phone as it stops at the mytouch screen and does not go further, only thing available to use is fastboot which to my dismay, I am having the perfect spl error (remote: not allow), any insight in this problem would be much appreciated.

Just reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery and flash a new rom and the old kernel
Clockwork recovery sometimes doesn't flash correctly through rom manager. Try downloading among RA's recovery and doing "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". You will need an engineering spl though.

Something went wrong. I don't know why all you new android nubs have to use "clockwork or "sp" recovery. A good ol Recovery image like Amon Ra's latest 1.7.0G works great. Anyway, you didn't brick the device. Just try re-flashing or flashing another rom. (one you know for a fact works) Oh, if you did a nandroid backup, I suggest you restore it. And if you can't get into "clockwork" recovery upon boot. Then I suggest you do what @caedus90 advised and flash Amon RA's recovery through ADB.
Hope this helps. And stop using those idiot friendly recovery alternatives. =P

OMG...I feel so dumb right now...I don't know why I didn't just stick with Amon's recovery...I got curious too and try to use Rom Manager to play around and now I am stuck as well...but my case is a little different in that I cannot get into recovery BUT my phone still boots right into Android like normal...
I flashed Amon's recovery via Rom Manager but still cannot get back into recovery...flashed ClockworkMod recovery but still no recovery...
So advice, please...I think I've learned my lesson and stay with the manual work from now on...lol...I was totally fine with Amon's recovery too...guess my curiosity will kill the cat eventually if I don't wise up...
What's the best way to get recovery back? I have Cyanogen's CM6 on my mt3g 32b...Much thanks for any advice...
UPDATE: Just thought I let you guys know that I was able to get Amon's recovery to work again by keep trying the reflash while in Rom Manager thanks to a tip from another member...Last time I'm touching Rom Manager...It's not a bad program, just us users who are causing problem...
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!
I'm having some issues with Fresh ROM 3.5.0.1 and doing Nandroid backups. Simply put, they NEVER WORK.
I have RA recovery and no matter what I do, no matter how many times I backup (Nandroid), no matter what version of RA Recovery I use, nothing works.
Basically what happens is that I do the Nandroid restore and then my phone just boot loops until I pull the battery. The only fix I've found is to wipe the phone and re-install completely fresh, all new. I've tried downloading Fresh ROM a few times too.
I've done this at least a dozen times, Nandroid backups NEVER work.
What exactly am I missing here?
On a side note, if I go to an older version of Fresh Rom, Nandroid backups work.
what version RA?
do clockwork backups work?
I don't like Clockworks, I've always used RA's Recovery.
That said, any version of RA. 1.80, 2.1, 2.2, the new 2.3, all of them. I thought the issue was something to do with 2.2 or 2.3 so I downgraded back to 1.80 and I still have this issue.
Finally I figured out that Fresh Rom 3.5.0.1 was the common factor so I re-downloaded that and checked the hash, it's right so its not corrupted, reflashed, made a Nandroid, restored and poof I'm still boot looping.
The reason this is an issue is that Fresh is my daily Rom and I like to try other roms out then Nandroid back to Fresh but since 3.5.0.1, I can't.
On a side note, completely unrelated, CM7 Nightly with the google apps installed boot loops for me too right out of the box so to speak. Soon as I install the Google Apps zip, it boot loops too! Man, I'm having no luck over here!
have you tried a different sd card?
I'm not personally good enough at this to help you, but perhaps state your hardware version and your root method and see if this might lead to some answers? For the record, I have hardware 0003, I used unrevoked, and I was running the same version of Fresh that you were.
Also, I *think* I did my first Nandroid, but I've only ever backed up/restored from Clockwork. I use Clockwork now because it ties in with Rom Manager. I can confirm that clockwork + fresh 3.5.0.1 had a successful nandroid backup and restore on my phone. Maybe try installing Clockwork recovery, make a nandroid, see if it works, and narrow down your problem to maybe just RA not working with your setup somehow? Granted it'd be nice if you could use the recovery that you want to, but at least you'd have some semblance of a backup procedure.
[also]..... I *think* that RA makes a recovery folder called "nandroid" on the SD card, whereas Clockwork makes one called "clockwork/backups".... I remember this confusing me for a second, and I'm not sure if that information can help you in any way. Good luck man!
Not the only victim, happens to me too that's why I don't use nandroid on amon ra recovery, I like using clockworks back up

I've been trying to use clockwork mod backup so that I can try out roms and easily get back to my stable leedroid 2.2.3 setup.
So when trying out the sense v2.3 and cm7 roms, I did a clockwork mod v3 backup just before (after updating to it from rom manager so I can flash the gingerbread roms)
I haven't found a gingerbread rom yet that I like over my 2.2 setup, so I'm now trying to restore the backup. Even when using the full-wipe.zip and then the full restore with clockwork mod, I have a few issues:
1. The boot animation is not restored - Just have the stock android text.
2. Lots of issues when the rom boots - force closes of sense etc.
I thought the clockwork mod backup was supposed to do a bit-by-bit backup of all the partitions, so when restoring you should be back to exactly the same state. Yet clearly this is not true. Any ideas on how I can restore the backup, or do I need to start from scratch and restore my titanium backup?
I've had quite a few other issues with clockworkmod as well - like needing to use the full-wipe when clockworkmod claims it's already wiped those partitions. Seems to be quite buggy - is there an alternative recovery for the DHD? I know that CM is the standard but it seems to be not working very well at all.

The problem might be there...
I've had these same problems moving between froyo roms with CWM 2.xx.xx . Also I didn't flash leedroid - I tried to restore a CWM backup, made with 3.x , using 3.x.
Yes but there has been some reports in the leedroid thread that backup and restore doesn't work with CWM 3.x.x.x, that's why 2.x.x.x is recommended in the OP.
