[Q] triying to come back from cm6!!!!!

Need info on how to restore my nandroid backup. This is the story. I was rooted with a stock 2.2 froyo rom, make a backup with nandroid. Then I deside to install cm6 Tom. To do this I have to downgrade my hboot from .96 to. 76. I want to go back to my 2.2 root using nandroid but I can not get out of the hboot screen everytime I reboot the phone. Any ideas why is this happening??? Thanks for all your help in advance.

This happened to me today as well you'll need the same hboot as your nandroid backup. So go back to. 96. I ended up just flashing fresh evo and did a data only restore from my nand backup. Better battery life then stock sense rom.

[Q] any harm in going from clockwork to amon ra?

I've been having a hard time trying to get a rom to stick. I've tried Mikfroyo 4.3 and have gotten it to flash and everything seems to be working well until i have to restart my phone, then it just hangs at the white htc screen. i can pull the battery and recover a previous nandroid that is just rooted stock and everything works fine. i also tried to flash warm 2.2 and it didnt even get started. it hung at the white htc screen from the start.
from searches i've done, people seem to be able to fix this using amon instead of clockwork but im afraid to try it. i have a working nandroid and i dont want to mess that up. is there a way you guys would suggest doing this? is this even my problem? im pretty new to this, so any help is much appreciated. all of you guys are awesome.
please tell me if you need any more information.

The white screen...do you mean the splash screen?

i think that is the splash screen.
its white and says HTC EVO 4G. its the screen right before the boot animation.

Just flash it through rom manager. You want be able to use any nandroid created with clockwork though. But there is no problem changing recoveries.
Ps: you could always change recoveries while in bootloader to get back to clockwork to use your nandroid. However you shouldn't have a problem with ar. I never have, just remember to wipe and wipe again.

Nothing bad will happen if you switch to amonRA, just don't restore clockwork backups with amonRA, or you will have the world's first 4G paperweight! (brick your phone)

alright, so just go ahead and do it through rom manager?
so do you guys think clockwork is the problem?

Right, *raises hand* so, why exactly does restoring CW backups with amonRA brick my phone?
Don't they both use nandroid to make the backup?
Mind you, I did exactly what you just advised against last week, just to see if it worked, and it did.

Could be, or it might not be. No harm in using ar and flashing a new rom. Use titanium backup on your good nandroid to back up your apps. Makes flashing roms a lot less painful.

someone please help!!!

went to restore nandroid backup of my froyo 2.2 with sense
and i got the error md5 mismatch
can someone please help me fix my phone?
or give me the location of a stock 2.2 froyo with sense

Wipe Wipe
Usually when you move from sense to non-sense roms, you must wipe everything in recovery before installing the rom. Did you do that?
Try that first.
All the roms from HTC Desire are compiled here. Take a look.

For sense based rom, LeeDroid is good.

That holds no bearing on restoring a nandroid backup.
See my answer on androidforums in one of the 2 threads you have going for the same question

Can I flash nandroid backup of tmous 2.2 on 2.1?

So I was trying to backup a nandroid of the beta official tmous 2.2. I have two phones, one has the beta official 2.2 and the other stock 2.1. I rooted both, did a titanium backup of both, installed system recovery and ran backup of both. Then I went and loaded the 2.2 backup sd card onto the 2.1 phone and ran system backup and restored the backup. You are probably cringing by now...so it installed the backup and rebooted, and , is now in bootloop on the M logo. Can I somehow restore using the backups, or do I have to flash using rsdlite and use one of the roms on here?
Thanks in advance to any that can help!!! My wife just said she will not buy another phone for me, on my 4th phone within the last year...bricking it is a first though

So that's what you did...
To fix the 2.1 phone you bricked, try restoring the 2.1 nandroid you made.
If I'm correct, Moto's locked bootloader saved you and stopped Recovery from loading the new kernel that's used by FroYo. Which is why you're bootlooping...
If I'm wrong, you'll have to flash the leaked FroYo SBF and restore the FroYo Nandroid you made onto it...

yea, as you know I was trying to make a 2.2 tmous nandroid backup to post on here, but since I'm a noob at this I didn't want to post a possible corrupt nandroid, so I wanted to make sure it was good by trying it out. I couldn't restore the 2.1 nandroid, so I went ahead and flashed the UK 2.34. Thank goodness it worked.
So, now how can I flash the 2.2 nandroid backup onto this UK 2.34 to verify that I made a correct nandroid backup? Is it possible? I am thinking that it would have worked if I wiped data and cashe, wich I forgot to do that the first time...

well, just figured out that wiping didn't have anything to do with it...as I'm back to bootloop. Flashing the 2.34 again

The way you can test your nandroid backup is by booting into recovery, make a backup, wiping the phone, making another backup, and then booting the phone. This will allow you to see what is actually on the backup. Yes you will have to reboot and play around a bit to check, but it should be free and clear of things, at that point reboot into recovery, and restore your rom. That will mean that the second backup you made will be exactly what you just experienced. Hope that helps.

thanks. On a side note, last night when I was researching how to recover, I could have sworn I came across nandroid backups of the tmous 2.2 in the development section...Beach Head...have you looked in there (I think I saw it posted in the thread about the tmous 2.2 OTA update, thought I saw several people post a nandroid backup in the thread). Anyway, I still plan on getting this uploaded as soon as possible, but thought you might want to check in that thread...

You can restore nandroid backup of 2.2 when you are on 2.1. But you will have bootloop. It's beacause you have new kernel (from 2.2) that is not compatibile with bootloader. After restoring nandroid you should try flashing a 2.2tmo_boot only .sbf http://www.mediafire.com/?pkjkk75emk6x83f . Maybe that help. But i really not tested this with tmobile roms. With jboogie mods its working fine. Also remember about gsm fix if you use phone not in US. All 3g fixeS are in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944258 . You should use the file with the frequencies of your country. If somethings go wrong you should flash 2.1 rom sbf (version that you are using now).
