status 7

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.

[Q] Nandriod Backup with RA Recovery question

I am currently running CM7 RC4 and for some reason when I try to use Clockwork recovery to do a backup, it just boots into RA recovery. Can't seem to get it to go to Clockwork recovery. Don't really care about that as I mostly just RA for flashing anyway, but I always used Clockwork for nandroid backups.
My question is which items do you typically check to do a nandroid backup with RA Recovery. When you go to backup, it defaults to back up Boot, System and Data. Do you have to back up the others as well? (cache, recovery, wimax, sd-ext and .android_secure)

I check everything except sd-ext. I don't use other forms of a2sd so it's not necessary for me because
cm7 has native a2sd. Everything else is backed up for sure. Try reflashing in rom manager to get back your clockwork recovery if you haven't. Update your rom manager in the market that might fix it.

It says rom manager is current. How do you flash clockwork when you are in RA?

At the top, click flash clockwork recovery. Or flash it via PC36IMG.

When I flash Clockwork recovery thru Rom Mananger and then reboot to recovery, it goes to RA Recovery

Take off the -1 in the name, then place on the sdcard, and boot into the bootloader, apply update, reboot, reboot into recovery and you'll be on clockwork.

I need help understanding amon ra recovery

Ok I'm a bit confuse with amon ra recovery. I recently did an nandroid back up with fresh Rom 4.0. Then I flash a new Rom which is omj Rom. So I decided to nandroid restore back to fresh and once done I'm stuck on the HTC logo for very long time. So I keep on wipe and restore over and over still same problem. So I went and reflash fresh again after that I went back to amon ra recovery and nandroid restore and it works. so I'm confuse about it. do I need to be on the same Rom to restore back? I can't restore back to different Rom?

You can restore to anything that you have made a nandroid of, normally.
Just wipe everything in the Wipe setting, and I usually wipe dalvik and cache again, separately, then restore the nandroid you want.
TBH,m I have a nandroid of stock/rooted that I restore to before I flash any new ROM

Some people say it isn't necessary to wipe, but it seems like you may need to. Try wiping data, cache and dalvik then restoring next time.

I always tend to wipe a few times and always use the format_all.zip... which unfortunately I do not have a link to at the moment. Make sure you wire the cache and davlik-cache separately imo

Nandroid Backup Failure

Allow me to preface this by stating my credentials. I've been rooted and have flashed most every ROM created since day one. I'm no stranger to the processes involved.
Just recently, this started happening. If I create a nandroid backup, then try to restore it, the boot animation just goes forever. It doesn't boot loop, it just keeps going.
This has happened with both CWM3 and CWM5, when trying to restore ICS backups. I've tried flashing the VR Superwipe with no luck either. I've also tried Fixing Permissions.
Has anyone had similar situations that could offer a solution?

Only ICS backups? Did you install a different hboot?

Well I've only tried it with ICS cause I've been running them since January.
I'm using Hboot .92

I personally haven't run into issues with restoring ICS backups using CWM 3.0.0.8. I've done the same process for GB and ICS restore, which is:
1) boot into recovery
2) backup rom
3) flash a new rom then realize I need to restore for some reason
4) boot into recovery then wipe data, format boot, & format system
5) restore and enjoy
I've done this on ICS roms AOKP and CM9 with no issues. I'm not sure how to find a fix if you have used CWM 3 and CWM 5 unsuccessfully.

If you've used the same hboot the whole time that can't be the problem. Try reflashing recovery with ROM Manager and use the "erase recovery before flashing" option.
