Hi, guys!
Did any of you experience the problem, when after installing Rom Manager, whatever you choose from the menu, it says "you have to install ClocworkMod Recovery from the Rom Manager first..."?
And yet, when I confirm that, it doesen't do anything!!?? Reports no problem, but I cannot use any of the functions in Rom Manager, except "boot in recovery". I have of course, rooted the phone with Unrevoked3.
So my question would be, how to install Clockwork Recovery (UI)?
The other question is which partition to make? EXT, EXT2 or EXT3?
And about the backup... When I made my Nandroid backup it didn't make me a .zip file. Instead I got a "backup" directory with several files in it. Does that count as a ROM backup? Shoud I make a .zip file out of it? Or just rename it as one? Or what...???
Believe me, I' ve searched the forums and did not come up with these answers. So it hasn't been explained clearly yet.
Some help, please??
Its not meant to be a zip... if you want to restore the backup just boot into recovery and select nandroid restore and pick your backup it created.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Rom Manager... That did the trick, as the newer version has arrived just after my first install... Stupid, yet there's no warning...
NANDROID = ROM Backup???

Does this backup (nandroid) count as a ROM backup? In case flashing a new ROM goes bad or if I just wish to revert to my previous one?
Yeah its a rom backup. What else would nandroid be for.

I had a Samsung Vibrant before selling it and getting the MT4G. On the Vibrant, when you flashed recovery from Rom Manager, it put an update.zip file on the root of the internal zip. That is not the case when flashing recovery from MT4G.
Where is the image file for CW recovery located? I'm not talking about nandroid backup but the actual recovery flash image

Recovery doesn't work that way on phones other than the vibrant. The recovery is written to the phone and doesn't need to be applied at every reboot.
That being said,
The recovery.img is located in /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/
Ok thanks for clarifying that.
One more question, if I wanted to go back to complete stock rom, kernel, radio, I downloaded a *.img file from xda forum, not a clockwork flashable zip. Do you know of a clockwork flashable zip that has stock rom 2.1.1, radio, and modem? I tried finding one but all I could find was an image to be put on root of sd, renamed, and then flashed with hboot.
Thanks again for your response

That image you found is the best way to get back to stock. Theres no recovery flashable zip for that that I know of.

TheUnlockr did have a barebones stock Nandroid back up on their site. that is flash-able via the Clockwork Restore protocol... Yea yea yea i know posting nandroids are dangerous. What they did was pull out a new MyTouchHD not install the SIM card and start the phone up. Flashed a recovery image via ADB then pulled the nanadroid back up off the SD card.
With that being said there are few of them floating around here. I know i have one in my Google Docs. If someone needs it please PM me.
Granted this doesn't put everything back to a stock format, like the OP requested, but it does give you a HTC MySense ROM. If one should lose their Nandroid back up.

Does this flashable restore point include the original radio and kernel as well. I know that a typical nandroid backup does not include the radio or kernel. Thanks for helping

Hi
Yesterday I made a backup using rom manager, when I had Clockworkmod recovery flashed. I tried to flash the cm6.1 rom using this recovery, but it didn't install the rom since it didn't manage to verify the whole file. So I flashed the recovery called RA Recovery v1.7.0G and flashed the cm6.1 rom using it. It finished installing the rom successfully, but now the phone is stuch in boot loop. Turning on, off, on, off, and so on, in a repeatitive loop. So I tried to use the RA recovery to restore my system with the nandroid backup, but it couldn't. It says it doesn't find the nandroid folder on the sd card. Right. There is no nandroid folder on my sd card, maybe I deleted it when I formatted the card, but I'm not sure there was a nandroid folder. But when I made the backup, the new folder of the backup was created and I saved it on my computer. it's name is the time and date of creating.
What should I do in order to restore the stock rom?? I heared that you can't restore a rom using RA's recovery if it has been backed up using clockworkmod recovery. Is that right? Help please!!!
Sorry for my bad English!
I made the backup using rom manager. I think it made a new folder called clockworkmod, and in this folder there are 2 folders, "backup" and "download", and a file called ".settings". The backup folder has a folder with the date and time of the backup I made. It has some files in it, and a file called nandroid. May someone tell me what to do?
Wipe then flash again.
Or get clockworkmod back and restore.
Or flash a sappimg and start over
Thank you for answering.
I tried to wipe data- factory reset and wipe Dalvik-cache and wipe chache, and then flashing cm6 again, but it is not working. The device is in a boot loop again. Maybe It's because I changed the name of the rom zip file of cm6 to update.zip?
How could I get back clockworkmod? Just flash it's zip file from the RA's recovery? Isn't the "flash from sd card" option in the recovery only for roms?
How could I flash sappimg and what did you mean when you sayd "start over"?
Thank you!
You can flash the recovery via the fastboot .
Which setting did you use to flash the rom ? I think you used the wrong one . And did you check the radio and spl before ?
But how can I flash the recovery via the fastboot? Do I need a computer? What file to flash? zip or img?
Isn't it possible to flash the recovery via amon ra's recovery?
I didn't check the radio and spl. (what is it radio and what is it spl?)
Which settings are you talking about?
Thank you

Flash any rom then use rom manager to get clockworkmod back. or if you have an eng spl flash it via fastboot.
Or flash it via adb in recovery.
And by "Start over" I mean get back to stock then redo the rooting process
Hi
My device is OK now.
I found a rom which made me able to turn on the device witout boot loops, and then I used rom manager to flash clockworkmod, and I used it to restore the system from my backup. Now I have my original stock rom.
Thank you doilathe3112 and tvall for helping! May G-d bless you!
I have clockworkmod 5.... recovery on stock 2.2, rooted obviously. Can I make nandroid backup with clockworkmod, flash to Amon RA, wipe my data completely (if needed for some reason), then restore my nandroid using the newly flashed Amon RA recovery? My main question is, can a nandroid backup made with one recovery be restored with a different recovery? I'm asking this because if I change my hboot version, the same nandroid can't be restored any longer, even with the same recovery that was used to make it. Can Amon RA "read" clockworkmod nandroid backups?
Thanks
simply put NO.
what exactly is clockworkmod 5? & why do all that crap?
if you want amon_ra, flash it. although there isn't any benefit to using it.
flash_image recovery amon_ra_filename.img
that command can be done via adb or terminal emulator on the device.
Will that wipe my current Rom/data if I flash recovery through adb?
Thanks again

recovery flashes don't wipe anything other than replacing the recovery with the new one

It can read the backups from cwm if put in the folder that amon read backups from. Why do that when you can nandroid from amon. Amon in my personal opinion is better than cwm anyway.

It's a little tricky but you can use CWM Nandroids in Amon_RA.
Flash Amon_RA and then make a nandroid. There will be a folder on your SD Card called Nandroid and inside this folder there is another folder that has the same name as the Wimax img name (wimax.lettersandnumbers.img) the lettersandnumbers is what the folder will be called just place the CMW nandroid inside that folder and when you boot into recovery you will select that folder and there will be your nandroid and the one you just made.
SDcard>Nandroid>LettersAndNumbers>(place nandroid here)<
placing the nandroid in the right folder is the key to getting them to work

I need to find a rooted rom in PC36IMG.zip format. I screwed up unrooting my phone, I needed to take it into sprint. I still have S-Off but I can't get my computer to see my Evo. If I can get a rooted rom in PC36IMG.zip format I can rom manager installed and its recovery and get my nandroid backup flashed.
Thanks for any help
Why don't you get a PC36IMG of your recovery instead, so you can then flash whatever rom you want or recover your backup?
