I was on the AMon RA Recovery v1 8.0 and I could use quickboot to get into recovery and do nandroid backups easily. Now I flashed the clockwork recovery and tried using the full version of Rom Manager to do a nandroid and all it does is ask me what to name the file and reboot me to a white screen with options to reboot, recovery, usb toggle and that is about it, no option to do a nandroid backup. When I thought it was supposed to do it itself seeing as that is what the menu says.
I guess I need to reflash the RA Recovery and do it manually. But before I try anything else is this clockwork app good for anything? Can it install ROMs ok or has this app been forgotten and is no longer updated?
Because Clockwork does not restore a nandroid you made using RA, and vice-versa.
I know that. I need to know if clockwork is broken currently. I saw a similar thread for a different phone and they are having the same problem.
I just went ahead and flash the RA recovery so I could make a nandroid backup. Then I can flash the clockwork recovery again and then try installing CM... Nah screw it clockwork is buggy. I'll just download CM6 and install it via RA.
I used clockwork to make a backup. You have to go into the recovery menu, and once in there, then you have an option to do a backup. They probably should have re-worded that top menu option to recovery/backup instead of just recovery.
I think CW and Rom Manager are both buggy in my experience I would stick with RA.

Im about to root using unrevoked and have been reading about the rsa keys and clockwork not backing them up in nand back up.
My question is how do I go from a fresh root with clockwork recovery to AmonRA recovery.
Do I need to do nandroid back-up in clockwork then flash the AmonRA recovery with rom manager.
Also, can I change to AmonRA recovery with the free rom manager? If not is there another way to do it.
Basically I want to be with (for now) a stock rom, rooted, with amronRA, a nandroid back-up, and wireless tether.
You can flash to amon-ra with Rom manager. Open up rom manager and scroll to the bottom of the menu. There's a button that should say Flash Alternate Recovery and then RA REcovery v 1.80. Push that and it'll install amon-ra for you. Just be warned that rom manager won't be able to flash any roms for you after that, and you'll have to push the roms to your phone and boot into recovery and flash everything manually.
Yes use rom manager to switch. You can nandroid with clockwork if you worried, than use rom manager to switch to amonsra, than redo you nandroid with amonra!! Easy to do. Just don't think to hard about it!!!

I rooted with unrevoked and have been happy. I made a back up with clockwork mod then quickly changed my recovery to amonra because I was told it would back up the 4g keys. Now I have flashed myns (first rom other than stock) and would like to go back to using clockwork so I can flash roms like crazy from rom manager. Is there anything I need to know before changing back.
Also if I need to go back to my stock nandroid back-up on amonra with my 4g keys, how can I get back to amonra again??
I want to try cyanogen mod 7 nightly.
Thanks in advance.

I personally wouldn't switch back to clockwork, IMO, Amon RA is more stable and reliable. I have also grown very partial to doing all of my flashing manually from recovery, and have stayed away from using ROM manager for flashing and wiping. I just dont trust it. However, if you do indeed wish to use clockwork and ROM manager, the simplest way to switch between Amon RA and Clockwork recovery is by using ROM manager. There is an option in within ROM manager that says "flash clockworkMOD recovery". That will flash you back to the most recently updated clockwork recovery. If you want to switch back to Amon Ra, there is an option "flash alternate Recovery". That will flash you back to Amons recovery. Just remember, any nandroids you created with Amon, can only be restored by Amon, and any created by clockwork can only be restored by clockwork. They are NOT interchangeable, and will cause problems if you try.
So I was using Nandroid to backup everything, but then I switched to clockwork and upgraded it to the newest version in ROM Manager.
I want to flash the recovery I made yesterday with nandroid. Ive switched back to Nandroid in the rom manager but it still wont flash the recovery.
How do i get my nandroid backups installed again?
Clockwork wont be able.to restore nandroid backup. You must switch back.to RA recovery to do.this. Clockwork makes a different type of backup format n its located under clockwork folder.
You can use Rom Manager to switch back to RA Recovery

I have switched back to RA recovery via ROM Manager.
I get part way through the recovery and it says "oops, something went wrong".
RA Recovery is at v2.2.2, when I was in the process of recovering before I got the oops message it says RA Recovery v2.3.
Is it possible I am using a version of RA to restore than the version I made the backup with, causing me problems?
Really appreciate it.
Still can't get this recovery installed.

In order for you to flash your recoveries you need to go back to Clockwork Mod recovery v. 2.6.0.1. It's at the bottom of the article by Koush. Flash it, reboot, turn off your phone, and then do a manual restore of your backup from recovery using v. 2.6.0.1.
Here is a PC36IMG.zip if you want to go that route instead.
I got the 'oops' error before....I solved it by wiping all, flashing a rom.zip then once booted back up I was able to use my backups with no issues

so i went to update my radio combo and went to down grade clockwork but when i booted to recovery i was still on 3.0.0.5, tired to flash amon ra from rom manger no luck
flashed ra recovery with a .img file in bootloader and updated
now im trying to flash back to clockwork so i can access my backup of sense and update my prl
has any one ran into this problem with rom manager
could i transfer my backups over to ra recovery?
Flash Clockwork the same way you flashed AR. It's fairly common for Rom Manager to not flash the recovery.img correctly - or whatever the problem may be. Download a PC36IMG of ClockworkMod, put it on the root of your SD card. If you already have one of Amon Ra, rename or delete it. Boot into the bootloader, accept the update when prompted, then go into recovery and restore your backup. You cannot restore Clockwork backups with Amon Ra, nor the other way around. If you really want to use Amon Ra, you can flash CWM, restore your backup, flash Amon Ra, make a backup, then delete your Clockwork backups and solely use Amon Ra.
I believe this is the latest version of ClockworkMod. PC36IMG here: http://db.tt/9sksyTK
1, stop using ROM Manager, and 2, stop using clockwork and you'll be fine....
Amon ra all the way man. I switched from rom manager/clockwork no problems.
I had your same issues with ROM manager. ROM manager and CWM really just have a bunch of mess-ups; get Amon Ra, works every time.
I was on the energy rom (12/25/2011) and went into recovery and tried to restore one of my backups and was getting the md5 mismatch error. Then i tried using amon recovery instead of clockwork and still didnt succeed. Then I went into terminal emulator and did a fix for md5 error and tried to flash again after wiping and now im stuck on white boot screen. No matter which backup i try to use. Please help!!!! Thx
your best bet is to probably use Amon Ra to wipe everything (Except SD Cardthen reflash your rom
how do i get back on amon if i can only get into clockwork? Last time i was amon i went through rom manager and flashed it that way.
Don't use ROM Manager. I have a detailed explanation and a link to the file you need in my guide. Click the link in my signature

OK, it's Clockwork, not clockworks, Amon, not Amons and clockwork does NOT wipe properly.
Just do as I posted and you'll be fine

Ok, so I was able to flash amon from your link (thx) and now I can't flash my backups. Am I supposed to download another stock rom and start from fresh again or will I be able to still use my backups that I made on clockwork?
Dude your backups are done. You couldn't flash them before, either.
You should delete your backups, flash the stock/Rooted ROM, and make a Nandroid of that, then do the wipe process again, and flash the custom ROM you want.
