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!

Does ROM Manager work with AmonRa Recovery?
I'm asking this because I currently have Clockwork and when I try to flash an alternate recovery through ROM Manager, it says that features within ROM Manager will be unavailable until I flash Clockwork again.
So...hence my question. And if I wanted to switch to RA recovery, would I have to manually push it through adb or is using ROM Manager fine?

No, you can flash Amon through ROM manager, but if you want to manage the nandroid back-ups you've done through ROM manager, you need to flash back to clockwork recovery. I always keep Amon on since Clockwork may or may not wipe the dalvik cache properly, and only revert to clockwork recovery when I need to restore or create a back up of my ROM.
No need to use ADB unless you get some kind of an error flashing from ROM manager.

Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it.
I never knew how easy it is to flash the recoveries. I always thought I would have to push it through adb again like the time I rooted!
I'll def try what you are doing with keeping Amon and switching back to Clockwork when needed.
Thanks again for the help!
No worries; glad I could be of help.

don't flash from the clockworkmod app... reboot the phone and hold the down volume to get into the bootloader. Then choose the flash a zip from sdcard. then find the zip and pick it... it's much easier... also you can do a nandroid backup before flashing... and you should do a factory reset/wipe before flashing usually.
oh i understand that i mean do i have to do a clockworkmod recovery every time i flash a new rom?
i cant just boot into recovery do a backup, wipe data, wipe cache, and install?
i ask because clockwork doesnt seem to be working anymore...and i tried to flash evils rom coming from iced glacier 1.1.2 and it didnt work i had to flash 1.1.2 again and then re do it because i kept getting fc
I rooted my phone today. And everything was great.
I installed Clockwork. And applied CM 7.
I of course backed up my previous rom and everything was going smoothly until everything was completed.
My phone boot up as normal and then it got stuck in the CM logo.(now when I see a blue android skating I might puke)
So I tried to restore my previous rom but clockwork is defective. I selected 'backup and restore' and then nothing shows up in the screen..
Is there anything I can do to fix my phone?
I love this phone so much I really wanna fix it.
Any ideas?
since you are rooted, download the CM7 rom again (zip file) and put it on your SD card, then flash it from the recovery
Do all your flashing and backups from recovery, not from rom manager. You can confirm your backup exists by going to sdcard/clockworkmod/backups. If you did your original backup through rom manager, there's a good chance it's corrupted. Reflash cm7 from recovery if you can't restore your backup.

I'm having basically the same problem. I just downloaded the cyanogenmod rom and put it on my sd card but I'm not sure how to flash it. Do i keep it as a zip and install it using the install update.zip thing? cause that gave me an error. Or do i extract it and put it in my backup folder and try to flash it using the restore option? Or is there some other option Im missing?
Thanks in advance
Ah ok I figured it out, I was trying to use the .zip for the a different model phone. I got it all working, thanks for the help guys!
So, I'm a bit new around here and to rooting and flashing roms. I recently have been flashing rooms directly from rom manager. Everything was fine for weeks until I recentely tried flashing a rom by RVU. Now I'm stuck in the stock evo 4 g load screen and it keeps loading over and over. Any suggestions ? Is there away back into the boot loader ?

To get back to the bootloader, you'd need to pull the battery (won't hurt anything) and put it back in. Then hold the power button and volume down. That will get you to the bootloader
What do you mean you tried flashing a rom by RVU? I'm confused. RUU is rom utility update, or rom update utility, or something ike that. But if you ran an RUU it would put you back to completely stock.
If I were you, and in your situation, I'd pull the battery, boot to bootloader, and see if you can still get to your recovery. If you can, I'd try wiping everything then either restoring a nandroid backup if you have one, or a fresh install of a ROM. If you don't have recovery, post back and we'll see what needs to happen to get you back up again.
Well, the rom I flashed was created by team RVU....at least that's what it said. So, I made it as far as recovery. But by wipe you mean a wipe back to stock? I'm in as far as my clockwork mod recovery screen. Kinda lost now !!

Okay I gotchya now, although I don't think I've been informed of RVU before, I'll have to check it out. Anyways, thats good that you can still get to recovery. So you have never used it before? Just did everything from ROM manager before huh? I'm not familiar with clockwork recovery, as I use Amon, I'm trying to remember the little differences. First, you don't have any nandroid backups do you? Prob not if you're not familiar with clockwork and had never created a nandroid backup before! I'm not sure if backups made with ROM manager can be restored using CWM, doubtful though. So by wipe, I mean wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe davlik cache. You will need to have a ROM on your sd card, so that you can install it from recovery. In order to wipe the dalvik cache using clockwork, i believe it is under the advanced section. Not sure though. Once you have everything wiped, and the ROM of your choice on the main directory of your sd card, choose 'flash zip from sd card' or 'install zip from sd card" or something to that nature, then find the ROM and flash it. If all goes well, you should be able to boot up after that. If you do indeed happen to have a nandroid backup, choose to restore that.
Yup, everything I've done has been through rom manager. Anywho, I peeked around inside some files. Inside my install zip from sd. I found a file labeled nandroid. Could that be the backup that your referring too ? If so, would i still have to wipe my phone ?

Nandroid folder is for amon RA backups. Clockwork backups are in the clockwork/backup folder.
Have you backed up your previous install? If so wipe all factory reset then restore a backup. Otherwise wipe all and flash a new rom.
This is why you do research and learn how to properly use your phone and any custom recovery before you reach this step. This is why manufacturers have crappy warranty policies because people ruin their phones by being stupid.

i think if i do this, i rewrite my rom and i can not boot after this.
are u sure, if this correct operation?
1 - do a cwr full backup (cwr - backup and restore - backup)
2 - flash the new rom as mentioned above, 9 times in 10 it will work fine, no data loss.
if it doesn't boot after the update
3 - in cwr do a 'wipe data factory reset'
4 - flash new rom - let it boot all the way to the android welcome screen, then reboot into cwr
5 - in cwr - backup and restore - advanced restore - restore the sd-ext and data partitions.

Then follow the same steps but instead of wiping everything just flash the update file . Like in CWR choose install zip from sd card . then choose the zip which you just downloaded and flash it .
its actually really simple .
1. Boot into recovery
2. Choose "Install zip from sd card"
3. then "Choose zip from sdcard"
4. Choose the zip file which you just downloaded . the one that has the camera and browser update in it .
oh right, i see now, that option 'flash update.zip from sd' in cwm, , you don't need that one, a normal install zip from sd will do fine, without wiping anything.

Yes it will overwrite your original wmobile rom as booting winsows mobile 6.5 from magldr is not supported yet. You can boot only to windows phone 7 or android. It will not brick your phone it is just bootloader on the top of original bootloader for hd2.

I am also wish to perform an update like the thread starter but I have read from the developer's thread mentioning that I need to reflash the file flash.cfg with a new partition before applying a new update. Would it clean my previous setting of the ROM if I flash a new flash.cfg? Or I still have to go through flashing the entire ROM again? I had previously flash 2 updates on my ROM and noticed a drop in performance speed. I had to do a task29 then reflash back the ROM to get the initial performance speed. Would appreciate anyone's help.
when you flash flash.cfg, you are re riting all teh partitions, so they will all be empty, so you need to do a full backup, flash the new rom, let it boot all teh way first boot, turn off, into cwm, backups and restore - advanced restore - restore sd-ext and then restore data.
