Make sure you wipe data and cache before flashing a Rom.

If you did a nandroid backup before installing the cm rom, then just boot into recovery and restore the backup. If you did a nandroid after installing the CM rom then try to reflash the CM rom.
Got it.. thanks.
Had to track button + Power after battery pull, then used Unrevoked Painless Reflash to get back and tried an earlier save from Nandroid.
was scared from a bit there.
I attempted to install Mikfroyo, and for whatever reason it failed and left me in a perpetual boot loop. I recovered a previous nand, and now I'm having issues with my unlock and everything is running considerably slower. I've tried to wipe several times and recover but to no avail. What should I do now? I'm using clockwork recovery should I switch to AmonRA? Thanks for the help
what unlock method did you use?
I would try wiping and reflashing and see if it fixes the issues. It seems weird that you are haivng them after you nand as it should revert everything back. you didnt change anything else or add any app theme kernel?
This is going from bad to worse it won't recover from a previous nandroid back up now it gets stuck at Checking Md5 Sums and then nothing. Is clockwork the only way to wipe this thing or can I wipe it another way and just load a new ROM?
if you can get Amon Ra recovery isntalled you can try that I have problems now again with clockwork ussually reflashign it or using amon works
Dont freak out if you dont see your nandback ups thorugh amon ra. It looks in a diffrent place. you have 2 options youc an either wipe data with amon and try to flash the update.zip to clockwork and nandroiding or you can move the back up from clockwork>backup to a new directoty on the root of your SD card called backup.
once in the correct folder amon will see and be able to restore them.
download rom manager from the market and use it to reinstall clockwork. If already says you have the latest version of clockwork installed, use it to install AR and just use AR going forward (just don't try restoring a clockwork nand with AR), or use it again to reinstall clockwork after you've successfully installed AR.
Hi,
Made a complete nandroid backup, with all options selected in amon ra 2.2.1. Flashed MIUI to try it out and decided to go back to Myn's.
Upon selecting nandroid restore, I get nothing but the splashscreen and it hangs there. I left it on for over 30 mins in case it was working and I couldn't tell, but unfortunately it just hung.
I had a2sd installed, is it possible that because the ext partition was blown away that this is causing issues ???
Edit: DISREGARD ..... SOLVED ON SECOND NANDROID ATTEMPT

I had a similar problem only I made a backup on one phone, then when i got a new phone (same 0004 hardware version), I tried restoring the backup and it failed 2 or 3 times. not sure what was going on.
How long would you say it takes to restore the nandroid backup?
I understand you solved the problem, but I wanted to mention this: If you are using ROM Manager it is a good idea to make a CWM backup as well as an Amon RA nandroid. If one doesn't work, the other may! And, if you are not using ROM manager, you might want to think about it. Also, if you are not making multiple backups, you might want to think about that as well.
Hi Guys, I need to change from Clockwork mod to Amons because like eveyone says in forum Clockwork sucks and makes problems but the think is that I have my Nandroid backup with clockwork and it was my original sprint scene. I do not want to loose that backup.
Whats the solution ?
Only thing I can think of is to back that nandroid up on your computer or a spare micro sd card. So if you ever need it again you can put your clockwork mod recovery back on there and restore it. Ofcourse, you won't be able to restore it through RA, but here is the Amon recovery, just put it on the root of your sd card and let it find the update through the bootloader. If you want to save that nandroid, be sure to back it up so you can go back to clockwork and get it.
Edit: Actually, duh, you can back it up if you want to but don't have to. You can keep it on your card, just flash back to clockwork if you want to restore it.
And thanks to dougjamal for having it so handy!
You can restore it while your on cwm then change to ra do a nandroid from there and you will have it you can go back and fourth with recoverys I was in that same boat at one time had 3 backups on cwm took a little time but I got them all backed up with ra.
Also make sure you check off the right things in ra backup its different from cwm like you don't have to backup cache and dalvik cache it saves on memory too.
Just search how to do a nand backup with ra.

Thanks guys It was very helpful.
yeah amon ra is better
So i tried to flash muiu rom thru rom manager and got caught in a reset loop at the boot screen. I then flashed a old cm7 zip from the recovery screen just to get the phone to boot. When i tried to restore my backup from rom manager it takes me to the recovery screen and does not restore ( just stays at the recovery screen). i really would like to restore that backup. any suggestions?????
Well, this won't help your back up problem, but trying wiping everything you can, except the SD Card and the flash MIUI in Recovery.
ROM Manager is really not a dependable way to flash a ROM.
Also, you try to reflash your recovery before you do anything and try the back up again.
Oh, and if you're not on it now, use Amon Ra for Recovery. Plenty of threads that tell you how to get it.
Thanks but is there any way to restore the backup I made with rom manager in recovery?
