Yes. Unrevoked 3.21 is a full root, with nand unlock. You can flash anything you want and do nandroids.
Ok thanks.

it should say backup on the recovery you're using
Ok thanks. Is there a tutorial on nandroids

I'm sure there is somewhere if you google it or use the search feature on xda. Honestly there is really nothing to them, you do it from recovery. With RA, just select backup/restore and then select Nand backup. I'm sure it's very similar with clockwork.

I'm looking to delete some of my old nandroid backups that I won't use, however I can't seem to locate them on my SD card, anyone know where I can find these backups at for purging? Thanks!
Edit: clockwork puts backups in /sdcard/clockwork/backup/<date> other recovery imgs put it in the nandroid folder on sdcard root.
Should have searched first. However I do have a follow up question,
what does the last set of numbers after the date mean,
2010-08-05.01.42.54
01.42.54? I'm not following the reasoning, thanks!
Yup. Here's my question. How do you APPLY one of your nand backups, since it's not a zip file that recovery will find. Thanks in advance.

Instead of installing from zip card, go into nandroid>restore and that should give you the choce of backups to restore to.
Eeeeek, those numbers represent the time that you made the backup.
Scott, in Rom Manager you can choose restore and find the folder you want to revert to
Hairongreenfire, thanks. I'm guessing the same is possible thru amonRA recovery? (I trust that recovery more than clockwork)
Thanks.

Rename?
If the backup files are renamed can this cause any problems with the restore process?
I use AmonRA Recovery

If you rename them don't add spaces: so mikg-311-03-29-12 is OK but mik g 3.11 03-29-12 will result in md5 sum mismatch

This is probably a real dumb question, but just to be sure I figured I'd ask...
I am using the Amon Ra recovery.. ..however, I first started w/ Clockwork after rooting.. ..can I safely delete "clockworkmod" directory from my phone? I guess I'm asking because I don't see an AmonRa directory and just wanted to make sure my new recovery wasn't just leeching whatever it needed from my Clockwork directory.
Actually.. ..while I'm in this line of questioning.. ..what exactly is either one of these programs for? Just an interface to flash ROMs and other mods from?
I want to know this also because I'm done with CWM.

Yes you can delete it as long as you don't want the backups from it anymore ra backups will be in a new folder called nandriod .

Also your backups from cwm won't work on ra you can restore them on cwm then switch to ra and make a new one from there just go back and fourth till you have them all on ra this is what I did when I switched way back when.

They are recoveries. They do just that, allow for recovery. A safe place to mess with your Operating System (aka "ROM") without the actual O.S. running.
Mainly used for making backups, wiping, and flashing new ROMs. A nice front end to doing these things, instead of having to use the command line and having to type everything out.
Any idea why ?
When i tell rom manager to install a recovery it shows as if it's doing it. But then when I reboot in to it, it's still the same (right now i have Amon)
I've seen people have this problem before. I've never used Rom Manager so I haven't experienced it, but I've helped others with the same issue.
Since you're on Amon Ra, I'm assuming you're trying to flash ClockworkMod? If so you'll need to get a PC36IMG of CWM and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot into the bootloader - you can use an app to do this or you can do it manually. To do so manually, power down the phone. Then hold the volume down and power buttons at the same time until you see the bootloader. It will ask you to update, choose yes (volume up) when it asks you to update.
Ta-da! You're done.
Here's a PC36IMG of CWM, I'm not sure the exact version as it's only there if someone else needs it, but it is 3.x --

Also, out of curiosity, why are you switching?
I had to use ra for the radios update.
I had to load it manually too. I wish I could find why its not working
If you on amon_ra, I don't believe rom manager will work.

Stay on RA and flash thru recovery and learn how to use those tools. It will help you out in the long run...Some how some way
Why would you want to go from AR to CWM?? To me, that's a downgrade
Because I can batch a few zips easily....
I had that same problem but I did use the above post to go back but now I use ra its way better the only good thing about cwm is you can name your backups but I just back them up to my PC anyway and name them just incase my sd card gets fried.

You can name them on your SDCard.
Just do it like this: BDEARS-20110605-1956-mik_101_full
Notice, no spaces, and the original name still in there.

You can do that and restore them like that or do you have to delete the name first cause that would be awesome I thought it wouldn't work if you renamed it.
Also can you use any name or does it have to be the name of the ROM it is of?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You can restore it like that.
I'm pretty sure - and _ are the only acceptable non text characters in the name

Do I really need to have any zip I flash on the root of the card? I have like minor ocd and I'd really like to organize; put kernels in a kernel folder, miui updates in a folder, sense roms in a separate folder, pri's, radios, etc. Thank you in advanced
If you are using amon RA then that is fine. Using that recovery would allow you to look through folders and flash accordingly. I never save to the root anymore

Yes I do. Thanks for the rapid reply. I'm super pumped now!
EDIT: Also does anyone know if you can rename the folder of a particular nandroid backup. I have several backups of multiple roms. I hate going by the date sometimes.
I do the same thing. Have a folder named SDX with subfolders Apps, Kernels, ROMS, Drivers, Root, Themes, etc...

The only file that "has to be saved to root of SD" is a PC36IMG.zip that you are going to flash through the bootloader

Using Amon-RA 2.3, nandroid backup, Evo 4G, Sorry pretty new to this.
Restore a backup ? Did you do a full wipe before you restored it. That might help. I forgot to once and a bunch of my apps were missing but I did a full wipe and then restored and it was fine

Its generally accepted that the smelkus mod recovery is the way to go for our evo. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661543
Ive never had a problem doing full restores with that. Some games need the data to be restored seperate via titianum backup I've found though.
Edit: Another thing may be that you made a nandroid before you installed gapps and such.
Thanx, working better with smelkus
