Hi, Since new roms need to use CWM to install, and i have my stock backup in xRecovery, my question is. How can i port my stock backup to CWM ?
or i need to go back to stock and install CWM make a new backup ?
Any other solution ?
Thanks
You must back and then install.

Hmm ok
Thanks
You can install your xrecovery backup with CWM. There is option for this
can we install and use both recoveries in a single rom???

Most new ROMs have them both installed but If you haven't, install DualRecovery.zip from the multiboot thread in the development section.
CWM vs xRecovery
I don't want to hijack the OP, but I wanted to understand what the difference between xRecovery and Clockwork Mod.
I originally understood xRecovery was developed as an alternate to CWM because CWM couldn't access certain section of SE's firmware. Am I wrong?
How come we're seeing xRecovery and CWM used together now?
Thanks!
CWM is using a newer type of update-script and it can do more than xrecovery, but this scripting method is more complicated and must be configurated for every device, and I guess that´s why some of the X8´s ROMs are still using xrecovery/amend scripting.
So it´s better when you have them both.

I have been trying the CM7 Alpha ROM's, and to install them you need to have the 3.xxx recoveries. There are now versions of this from xx.2 (currently using it) up through xxx.5, and now xxxx.5.1.7-
Some posters over on the CM7 forum had stated that before the latest one above, the latter versions through xxxx.5 would not restore or wipe successfully. Asked about the latest above on the CM7 thread, but no response.
The developers are doing a great job over there, but the thread is getting cluttered with "social networking' and not a lot of useful information, so thought I would try here.
as far as the buiilt in restore I wasnt able to restore my OG stock I made from CWM 2.1.2.5 I tried the restore with 3.0.0.2 maybe I would need to restore from the 2.1.2.5 I made it from??? maybe I'll try it from the newest CWM...

You cannot backup or restore anything with cmw 3.xxx except android 2.3 (like cm7). For all android 2.2X, you have to use cmw 2,xxx only.

ahhhhhh great to know.
WHAT I HAVE DONE:
Backuped my rom with 3.0.0.5 to mess up with my rom.
Replaced framework-res.apk to get some new icons.
New framework-res.apk crashed my phone.
Tried to restore backup with 3.0.0.5.
Find myself stucked at "HTC".
Tried to flash MIUI rom from official MIUI website, MD5 checked.
Still stucked.
Went back to recovery 2.5.1.3.
Tried to restore backup created by 3.0.0.5.
Everything is OK now.
ORIGINAL PROBLEM:
Under 3.0.0.5 Backup restore failed+Flash MIUI ROM failed+HBOOT OK+Tested 13 times!!!!
symptom: Stuck at "HTC"
Went back to 2.5.1.3 and Flash MIUI ROM OK.
Now trying to restore backup created by 3.0.0.5...
Hope no more bricked DHD....
Want more discuss...
This recovery come with CWM Rom Manager 3.0.0.7 following recovery flash from Internet.
MD5: 5E457EDCC2CC8AF60E7B8EB10E1BBF8A
UPDATE: My DHD alive again...
Anybody would like to give it a try may follow this:
Make sure you are using version 3.0.0.5.
Backup your current rom (Make sure you have enough rom on your TF card, there won't be an warning if you failed because of lack of disk space!!! 2GB free recommend). (The backup function seemed OK...)
Mess your system up. (Delete some important files such like framework-res.apk...)
restore backup...
Here I get stucked at "HTC" (AKA first boot screen, defined by manufactor.)
RESTORING:
Boot into HBOOT, then fastboot, flash CWM Recovery 2.5.1.3. (Attached)
restore....
It's alive now...
Don´t be so paranoic...
It depends if the Rom is made for CWM 3.0.0.5. If not its not working...
And of course u can´t restore a backup with 3.0.0.5 which was done with CWM 2.5.1.3
Are you certain of this?
I need the devs and Senior Members opinion's please.

I don't think recovery have anything to do with my rom. According to my 3 years android messing up history.
On the other hand, if that's true, there should be an warning when I flash my recovery through CWM Rom Manager.
CWM 3.x is fine. Been flashing roms with it since january (or december). A lot of people actually.
Edit: recovery has to do with the roms. Cwm 3 requires the updater script(edify). Also, cwm 3.0.0.5 from rom manager works fine for backup/restore. If you flashed it on your own before it was made available through rom manager, then its probably the test version which had probs restoring.

The recovery works fine. Some people are just not aware that CWM 2 backups are not compatible with CWM 3 backups, and vice versa. There is also another compatibility problem, zips intended for CWM 2 do not work with CWM 3.
So there is no real issue with CWM, just some compatibility problems, and those can not / will not be fixed. It is the way software evolves..

Restored my backup created by 3.0.0.5 using 2.5.1.3, strange result according to your opinion...
It also depends on the ROM and it's filesystem, but the rule of thumb is, don't even try it.

Post updated, a little bit long to read it through... but please...
My "ROM" is referring to the current system+user data+whatever else inside my nand, not the one in my update.zip. If you would like to know.
Once I learned recovery backup rom exactly the way it is, just like what Norton Ghost do to your hard disk, so if backup and restore not working, the files must be broken. Otherwise it's the recovery's fault.
Is it possible to go from Stock ROM to CyanogenMod via this path:
1. Using Universial Androot to root
2. Install RomManager from the market
3. Install Clockworkmod recovery 3.0.6 from Rom Manager
4. Install CyanogenMod from RomManager
That would be very easy compared to using adb. And it does not require a PC like the various one click root methods.
It should work?
I am asking because these optiions are already in the cyanogenmod wiki (some of them put there by me)
And if it works without problems, it should probably be the recommended update path.
I might try it out myself, but it requires me to go back to stock rom, which I haven't done before. If I understand correctly, it is not possible to flash a 1.6 ROM from a new Clockworkmod recovery, I would have to go back to maverick or amon ra recevery?
I am running Cyanogenmod nb 12, and clockworkmod recovery 3.0.6 at the moment.
to get back to stock rom, you just have to connect your phone to the PC, and double click the .exe of the ROM
I am not using windows, and do not have a rom exe file. I rooted and flashed my phone via adb on linux. I do have a nandroid backup of my stock room after it was rooted though.
Then flash back the old amonra recovery, before restoring your backup because it won t work with the latest clockworkmod

Ok thanks, I just heard from some one at cyanogen that using RomManager to flash the recorvery on a rooted stock rom won't work. So I guess the update path in the first post is not valid...

Uhm... I think not: is missing the "insmod tattoo-hack.ko" and it will fail the "remount" operation (and then the flash).
IMHO.

Yes, I think you are right. Stock rom needs the tattohack loaded before flashing a recovery.

Well, i had a CyanogenMod "installed" on my tatto, and i flashed it back to the stock 1.6 rom without installing anything, without problem.
i guess that's the question, isn't it?
I used the method you're saying, Androot+Flash Recovery from Rom Manager to the latest ClockworkMod and unfortunately it's not working.
I don't know if it is because the new clockworkmod but my advice is don't use this method. I posted some questions in other threads but nobody could help me.
I reflashed Clockwork several times even to 3.0.6, but the startup recovery menu still the same.
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

Or just use ROM Manager to get the latest.
That's the only thing I use ROM Manager for... getting the latest Recovery.
thanks again nxt. if you don't mind really ...i have one more question. i know the phone intend to uninstall clockwork mod recovery once its restarted. i know there is command type into the cmd to avoid the phone uninstall the clockworkmod reovery and make it permanent in another word. I didn't run those command when i root my phone because i don't know if its good to make it permanent like.... hmmm like if there will be a 2.3.5 coming next month..just saying ok... with a permanent unofficial recovery will cause a problem?

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?

Don't remember. It should only have like 3-4 options.

Most ROMS have instructions in the first post but basically you need to:
0)Backup everything (installing a custom ROM requires that you factory reset your phone)
1)Root your phone. Since this is your first time installing a custom ROM (search the forum for rooting methods)
2)Install ClockWorkMod (CWM). You can keep a backup of your previous recovery if you want.
3)Download the zip of the ROM you want to install on your SD card.
4)Reboot your phone in recovery
5)Do wipes / install as instructed in the ROM you choose
quoting from the aurora ROM for the u8800 Pro...
INSTALLATION
Boot into recovery (5.0.2.7 for U8800 pro )
You should have Clockworkmod version 5.0.2.7 installed, in order to install clockworkmod you should first root your phone
Wwipe data / factory reset
Wipe cache
Advanced and wipe dalvik cache
Boot in recovery (ClockWorkMod) and do the wipes as instructed
Mounts and storage and format system
From ClockworkMod
Install zip from sd card
From ClockworkMod
Choose aurora_2.0_u8800pro.zip
From ClockworkMod

Extra info...
*)Custom roms are rooted so you don't need to do step 1 next time
*)ClockworkMod will not get deleted/altered by a custom ROM unless you want to update it
*)Usually you don't need to do all wipes if you update the same ROM (always read instructions)

I totally agree with you there are instructions for every rom... i haven't installed any rom to u8800pro but for u8800 i can asure that there are guides everywhere step by step, instructions to any rom on how to install them, etc.
If the rooting tutorial that you have found does not work properly as it should on your device you should look for another, and you might find it. not a very good help just an opinion and was trying to make sure you won't give up next time because you can't find a proper guide take care
