[Q] Help with ROM Problems and question about sd card

Ok here is my situation: my phone is rooted and the rom installed is CM alpha build 51. somewhere along the line i think i messed up something and now im unable to backup the current rom w/ CWM to flash a new build/rom etc. when i try to backup current rom is restarts into recovery and when i try to backup there it says that its unable to mount system. Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.7 but in recovery mode it says 2.5.1.2 and when i try to flash a later version it just stays on 2.5.1.2. anyways
Q1. Anyone have a solution for this ?
if not
Q2. should i flash back to my original recovery and flash up again ?
Q3. What can i remove from the sd card ? its getting kinda full. can i completely wipe it ? I want to completely wipe it and flash CM7.

You need to use clockwork 3 to backup any version of cm7. You need to fastboot flash that recovery back on, then make backup, then flash 2.5.1.2, then restore 2.2 rom.
2.2 roms = CWM 2.5.x
2.3 roms = CWM 3.x

[Q] Help Please recovery problems rooted stock rom

Okay, so where to start...
I have a MT4G (of course) i love it dont get me wrongand wanted to mess around with it. i permarooted it via VISONary + and everything was working fine. i wanted to flash a different kernal and wanted to do a nandoird backup before i did anything else. but i needed clockwork to do this (correct me please if im wrong) so i downloaded rom manager flashed it. and went to boot into recovery and it does this icon with a phone and a "!" on the screen...it cant boot into recovery. and i dont know why, and now i just want to go back to my stock recovery but i cant cause i dont know how. ive tried terminal commands... and i tried to learn adb and fastboot but am very lost. basically i want a nandroid of my rooted stock ROM... any help would be much appreciated

The reason is because you need to turn s=off for any of those to work.

Read the guides.

1. The phone with the red triangle icon is from the stock Recovery program. Stock recovery does nothing except show you that screen, unless a special file is found on the SD card, used for a complete system restore. Your flash of ClockworkMod Recovery was unsuccessful.
2. When you do go get past the S=Off phase, and are ready to once again attempt to install CWM Recovery, be sure you install the CORRECT version. CWMR 3.0.0.5 is for Gingerbread (Android 2.3) based ROMs only! Don't install 3.0.0.5 expecting it to function properly for the Stock ROM, for Iced Glacier, or any other Froyo (Android 2.2) based ROMs. Those all require CWMR 2.x. A higher version number does not mean better. For example, if you are planning to install CM7, back up with CWMR 2.x, then flash CWMR 3.x before installing CM7.
(There is a special, unique to MT4G version of CWMR that handles both Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs, called "3.0.0.6". You can find threads on it in the Development subforum.)

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.

[Q] Problem Installing ROMS

Hi
I'm new installing ROMs on my phone and I found some issued from time to time.
I have a:
- HTC G1 T-Mobile Phone
- HBOOT 1.33.2005
- Radio 2.22.28.25
- Installed ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.0.7
- Running EZGingerBread.
I flash the Froyo by Laslo ROM (and others) with ClockWorkMod recovery from a zip inside the SDCard. The procedure goes fine. I wipe out all the cache and data before installing the ROM.
When I reboot I get the "T-Mobile G1" logo at startup and it reboots and keep showing the same logo.
I went back to ClockWorkMod recovery menu and recover the backup with EZGingerBread to get the phone working again.
I want to test Froyo by laslo, and BioHzr ROMS but I get the same problem
Any tip on what I'm missing? Is it CloworkMod Recovery? Am I missing some extra stuff?
Thanks

Most of the ROM now a day you required to have both latest SPL/radio. It looks like you have the correct radio, but you need to upgrade your SPL/HBOOT to 1.33.0013d.
The ROM that you had been trying to flash is incompatible to the SPL/radio combo.
