Ok, So I used the gfree method to fully unlock the g2. (SuperCID, SimUnlock, etc etc) Now, I tried to flash the stock rom and it errored out on me. So I wiped data/cache/dalvik and just tried to restore my nand backup of CM. Once restore was complete, phone keeps boot looping. Any ideas?
Edit: Nevermind. I wiped again and did another restore of CM and it took it this time for some reason. Dont know why it didnt the first time but im unbricked as of now.
I rooted my device yesterday and installed clockworkmod, then i was going to install a new rom on my device. But i decided to this the next day, but i still deleted
cache and did a factory reset, When i booted up i didnt find superuser and i downloaded titanium backup and the programe said i was not rooted.
So i installed visionary r12 and it said im rooted. what Now?
Now i uninstalled r12, and unstalled r14, and got everything to work,
now i want to take a backup but in rom manager when i press backup rom, it tells me
E:cant open /cache/recovery/comand
Have you turned Security Off (S-OFF)?
Yes i installed s-off before factory reset, shuld i try to do it again
In ROM Manager try to flash ClockworkMod Recovery again. Most users note that it doesn't work first time.
I find more assuring to make a backup from within CWM Recovery. Six and 2 Threes I know.
It worked to reflash clockwork. Thank you<3
No problem.
I was running CM6.1.1, did a backup using Clockworkmod recovery 2.5.x.x. Updated CW recovery to 3.0.0.5, then flashed GingerVillain 1.5. Decided it wasn't for me, so I wiped and then restored my CM6.1.1 image. Restore completes okay, reboot and now I'm stuck at the HTC screen. Also tried wiping and restarting, still stuck.
Is CWM 3.0 not capable of restoring Froyo roms? Do I need to reflash 2.5.x.x, then restore my CM6.1.1?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry for being so quick to make a thread. Reflash of Clockworkmod 2.5.1.3 allowed me to restore and boot my backup. Problem solved.
I was running GorillaSense 2.3 and decided to give CM 7 RC1 a try. When I flashed it and then rebooted, I went into a bootloop so I tried doing a nandroid restore of the backup I did prior to flashing CM 7 and I got this error:
Erasing boot before restore...
E:format_volume: no MTD partition "boot"
Error while formating BOOT:!
I am using ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5.
The only thing I can think of that I did out of the "norm" was replace the host file in the system to block ads.
Does anybody know how to solve this? I am unable to use my phone at the moment...
I am able to go into Advanced Restore and retore system, data, and cache. When I try to restore boot I get the message I wrote above.
Clockwork mod 3.0.0.5 works only with gingerbread roms. Any Frito roms need 2.1.5.2. I had this problem going from gorilla hd sense to cm7 as well. Flash a new clockworkmod or a gingerbread rom or evils miui

I wiped data and cache. Then Flashed this ROM Evil's HD port- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878320
I am still getting boot loops.
Evil's MIUI requires 2.1.5.4 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874257
Note - before wiped and flashed, I had gone into advance restore and restored, system, data and cache from my prior nandroid backup.
Hopefully that didn't screw things up. I don't have access to download the GorillaSense v2.3 that I had used before to see if flashing that would work since I am at work and it's blocked. I'm going to try that next, once I get home.
Which Clockworkmod version would I need for CM 7 RC1? Would v3.0.0.6 work?
Success!
Flashing recovery 3.0.0.6 did the trick! I flashed CM 7 RC1 and I don't get boot loops anymore. Thank you for your help.
I turned off the phone and booted back into recovery to make a nandroid backup after this successful flash. Then I flashed the google apps that come along with CM 7 and I'm stuck with the boot loop again...
I have restored the nandroid back, same bootloop, and wiped data & cache, flashed CM 7 only like the first time, and I still get the bootloop. This is so weird that it only worked the first time.
The first time it didn't boot loop I was left at the "desktop" screen. Now, when I boot loop, I get to the 'Welcome to HTC Glacier ( with the android you touch ) screen, only for like a second or two and then it loops.
Any ideas how to fix this? I'm thinking maybe I need to flash a new boot.img or something.

Ok, I flashed GorillaSense v2.3 which is what I was using initially. It works fine. No boot loops. I want to use CM 7 though! lol
Ok so first off I was successful in rooting the phone, installing twrp rec., flashing loki files, and then flashing wicked rom with ktweaker tw kernel. I made a backup of the stock rooted rom before wicked was flashed. Then my troubles started when I wanted to go back to my stock backup. The rom booted but has serious issues like black screen with only status bar working and then eventually freezing. I also made a backup of a working wicked and tried restoring that but then I just get stuck in boot loop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
what twrp version
did you wipe all before restoring
you could try to install Phils cwm recovery, folks say it works great and will restore twrp backups also

Follow full wipe procedures, have the same recovery you made the backup with, and try again.

I flashed the stock firm. Soft brick averted. Did the same goo manager recovery method, but now i'm thinking of flashing that cwm as ppl have reported the same nandroid backup issues with twrp. My version is 2.5.0.2. I will keep trying to get twrp for a while with others users till i get sick of it (semi twrp fan). Any further advice would be cool. Oh and I did a factory twrp wipe the first time this problem occurred.
I wipe data caches and system before flashing. No more advice. Had newest TWRP hang on Team Win screen. Several manual reboots into recovery till it worked. Maybe I better do restore to see if it works.
