hey i had my phone rooted and then i flashed the new official froyo that was rooted and now using the clockworkmod everytime i try and flash a new rom i keep getting a status 7 error and i have been wiping my cache and everything so that isn't the problem. any help would be greatly appreciated as i want to go back cyanogen.
thanks
Clockwork recovery does not wipe dalvik cache properly, this is a known issue. Use amon ra instead. Never fails me.
how do i switch from clockworkmod to amon ra and where do i get it from. i am new to this thanks.

okay so i am rooted, and am running cm6.1 stable. i usually use rom manager to do my backups and everything which puts all of my nandroid backups in clockwork mod, but when i am manually flashing a new rom i use amon ra recovery because its much easier to wipe dalvik and cache and whatnot. however after i flashed a rom my recovery is stuck in amon ra so i cant get into my nandroid backups, clockwork mod wont reflash through rom manger, and im stuck,
pleaseeeee help.
I rooted my phone back in December/January and installed the visionary rom on my Bell Desire Z. I've since wiped my pc hdd nad since I haven't done anything in a while relating to root, I've forgotten a lot. I have a few simple questions regarding the instructions for installing the CM7 rom.
It says to do a Nandroid backup. I'm assuming clockwork will work for a nand backup just as well right?
How do I wipe it? Use the factory reset data in settings? Will I have to reinstall clockwork recovery and titanium backup? Will I have root it again?
I'm getting the info from this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=956227
It also says to optionally install the google addon. What is that and where do I get it. I was also looking at baconbits with CM7 in Clockwork. Is that what enables overclocking?
A nandroid back up is created within clockwork mod, which can be accessed by going into recovery manually or through rom manager, which will be already present in many of the roms you'll flash.
One you're rooted, no need to reroot. All apps usually get reinstalled automatically.

When you're doing an install in Clockwork, it prompts you for doing a backup (Nandroid) and also asks if you want to wipe your phone and cache.
Ok, thanks a lot. I've done a Rom install through Clockwork before, but that was awhile ago.
So I'm having problems installing it. When Clockwork asked me to wipe and backup, it would just restart on me. So I went into Clockwork and told it to reboot into recovery mode and I made a back up and wiped my data from there.
Now when I try to install a CM from sd card in Clockwork it just reboots...thats it. I updated to Clockwork 3. It says under current version it's 3, but at the top of the screen it still says 2.5. How do I fix this and install CM?
Edit...I tried clearing the download cache in clockwork and then when I tried to install rom it showed as a zip file. I added the G-app zip to the CM zip but it still rebooted.
Reedit : Installed the zips manually...got repeating android on skateboard and wiped both options in recovery mode and now it's ok. Thanks for all your help.

I think you might be getting CWM and RM confused; when you boot into recovery, what color is the text, orange or green?

I have been trying to flash the new Gingerbread Sense v5.9.4 by RCMixHD. I am coming from my rooted Evo 4g with Cm7 Stable.
I have placed the .zip on my SD card, rebooted into recovery, wiped cache, wiped, davlik cache, and wiped data. I then flashed the .zip file, it went through everything, said it was installed, reboot, and enjoy. I reboot and It boots right back into Cm7.
I have tried this through Rom Manager wiping all data and cache with the same results.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm pretty new at this, and would love to know what I'm doing wrong or how to correct this problem?
Thanks!
What recovery are you using? If it is not amon RA v2.3, I highly recommend that you download and flash its PC36IMG.zip from the bootloader screen. Obviously, your current recovery is not wiping properly. Try again, but wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card and then flash the rom again.

Can I find that with the link to the Radio on your signature?
You can indeed use the link in my signature to download and flash amon RA v2.3 recovery.

I flashed CM7.1 and I'm stuck in a boot loop. I tried wipe cache partition, wipe date/factory reset, wiping dalvik cache and reflashing a different rom but still keep getting the boot loop. What else should I try doing to slove this ?
Could be kernel related, are you using an aosp and hopefully not a sense kernel? Need more info, what kernel, recovery are you using?
I'm using ClockworkMod recovery I'm not sure what kernel I using
Easy fix, recommend starting from new. wipe the entire phone in recovery at least 3 times, sd card also, backup sd card to computer if you need to via USb toggle, flash Cm 7.1, flash tiamat kernel, found in development section, reboot, good to go, nandroid once up and running, happy flashing
Thanks, okay I'm glad you said easy fix I'm not as worried now. I'm gonna follow your advice. Whats a roamer kernel ?
sorry swype acting weird, use tiamat kernel 4.1 something in development section
The FIRST Thing you should do is get rid of Clockwork Mod, and get Amon Ra, so you can wipe everything.
Just wiping Data/Cache/Dalvik when flashing a new ROM isn't enough.
Hey thanks again ! ! I followed your advice and got everything working again
Well every time I flashed the InfectedRom Eternity (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071547&highlight=eternity) it won't ever load past the white HTC Evo 4G boot screen and I have no idea why, I have wiped everything correctly and still nothing. Any ideas as to why?
What hboot do you have? It comes baked in with anthrax that doesn't work on ENG hboot .76

I am using Clock Work Mod Recovery v5.0.2.2
CWM is notorious for giving problems with flashing Roms because it doesn't properly wipe; I suggest you use Amon RA now just in case you might have recoveries already with CWM then try this Here it's an Amon RA recovery that can also flash CWM recoveries

So what your saying is use Amon RA? And I do have back ups made from CWM, so which one of those would I use and if I use one those in that link you said I will be using Amon RA just be able to use my CWM backups?

Download this one HERE move it to the root of your secure digital card and rename to PC36IMG.zip and flash with bootloader, once you have done this successfully go to recovery and then to restore you'll have the option to flash CWM recoveries

Okay thanks, I will give this a try, but shouldn't I use a supersonic version?
I have installed it, and it looks so much better than CWM. So everytime I want to install a new ROM should I just choose wipe all data/factory reset or what should I do?
You always need to wipe all data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache when flashing a new Rom... I personally got into the habit of wiping all of those at least twice just to really ensure I get the best performance for the new Rom
