Hello there!
First time I rooted my phone I ended up without a phone for a whole day as I couldn't restore my original backup. I had to install a stock rom and now I'm a happy CyanogenMod user.
Question is:
I tried doing a backup again with rom manager today just in case. I had 1.9 gb in my sdcard. It was going ok but then it said no sdext...skipping sdext..and soon after it booted back.
This is exactly what happened last time so before I go ahead and try another ROM such as MIUI I want to make sure my current ROM did safe properly and I would be able to restore back to it if I wanted to.
Sdcard now shows 1.4gb so it definitely took some of it. Any way to confirm a backup?
Thanks in advance

Unless you formatted your SD card to have an EXT partition, it'll always skip that part. To confirm a backup was made, use any file explorer and navigate to sdcard>clockworkmod>backup, the folder will be there.

Well after struggling trying to understand flashing roms and what not I found the easy way..rom manager app from the market place...they do have a free version witch you do have to install regardless if your buying the premium..witch I did buy it to for support..after I perm rooted my phone I downloaded rom manager..clicked on the very first on to flash clockworkmod recovery..went down to back up current rom I named..went back into rom manager clicked download rom clicked the first one than bacon bits..to get bacon bit and overclock my phone to 1497mhz..its gonna ask you if you want to back up current rom I did not checked the box cuz I had already done it, than it gives you another box to clear the cache..witch I did check the box..let it do its thing took another 5 min..after it rebooted I was all done..but I did have to download all my apps again..unless if your google backup just downloads them for you..and now I just finished flashing the htc sense on my g2..everything work really nice..and the cool part is that all you have to do is go into your rom manager app..click on manage and restore back ups and you could just switch on whatever rom you want..if I want to be running froyo ot htc sense..one click away..really nice

That's awesome but u are preaching to the choir. Well some of us. I'm thinking about buying the paid version. I think it lets u download rom updates. U should check out titianium backup. One click restores apps and app data. I have the paid version one click restore.

Lol..na wasnt preaching...but thanx I'm gonna download titanium back up..its just I'm a new to flashing roms and stuff and this is easy for me

IT should be stated that Apps ONLY should be installed from one rom to a DIFFERENT rom.
DATA is highly NOT recommended to be copied over.
Data transfer is the reason most roms dont run properly after being installed.
Using appbrain is the way to go, IMHO
buy the full verson it is worth every penny ive had since my g1 but it keep unrooting my g1 for some reason so used amon ra recovery but if you r on a g2 now the full version is a must have!

Do you know how to Odin back to stock? Follow this thread for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209
Then when you restore, only restore data under advanced restore.
If you used Mybackup root or Titanium you can restore your apps from there, otherwise you should download them again from the market.

I would suggest using this one:
Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6
Most new ROMs need the newer clock work to flash them.

Hi All,
I've been happily using the old version of Amon Ra's recovery for at least six months. I'm wondering if it's really necessary to to the update? I'd father not flash a new recovery unless I have to.
If it is recommended, I know that ROM Manager doesn't support 2.3 yet, so is the best way to update placing the PC36IMG.zip in the base directory of the SD card?
Many thanks!
Tim
ROM Manager may still show 2.2, but it flashes 2.3.
If you aren't having any problems with 1.8, there's no reason to upgrade to 2.3. The new main feature is you can select which parts of the system you want to back up in a nandroid (data/system/wimax/sd-ext, etc).

Thanks Nivron!
Up to u to upgrade or not but it also has new feature to wipe specific parts of phone ie .. system, data,...plus a few others that wernt in there before
Its worth it to upgrade 2.3 has a tad more features when it comes to backing up.

You [and all cdma variants (like me even)] will have to wait for kernel development as alquez states in his OP of that thread.
or
Restore your nandroid backup of stock (easiest fix).

Hope it comes soon...I forgot to make a backup before i went to cm7....however I do have a second Wildfire S thats rooted but for some reason i cant get into recovery to back up that ROM....it gets stuck on the white HTC screen....any ideas?
ideas
Can you boot to hboot [on second phone]? If not you are either semi-bricked or bricked. Still assuming you cannot get into hboot, go download the htc sync drivers, set up your environment [Google has a guide that walks you through it], then with the phone connected to your computer [and on] type "adb devices" If you get a return that looks like a short serial, it can be fixed... If no devices found... well, it will take someone smarter than me If you can boot to hboot, it can be fixed no problemo... Hit me back with results [via pm] I can't follow every thread I respond to.
Regards,
Rob
PS it sounds like the 2nd phone has had either a bad recovery or wrong boot.img flashed to it w/o knowing more
I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my HTC One X. I have used the ClockworkMod recovery.
I had CyanogenMod 10.2 installed and it ran perfectly fine.
Later on, I downloaded the 'cm-11-20140308-SNAPSHOT-M4-endeavoru.zip' file to install the the CM 11.2
But it seems something terribly has gone wrong.
This error message was shown during installing CM 11.2

and it got stuck on this screen after rebooting
Later on I tried flashing the 'boot.img' of CM 10.2 to get back to that ROM, but I encountered this error.
But when I tried installing the 'cm-10.2.1-endeavoru.zip', it was a success, but I am still stuck at the same position.
Please help me restoring the phone back, I dont care if I have to revert back to HTC's Original ROM, as long as the phone is back working.
I am novice at this thing, so please bear with me if I ask some stupid questions.

First of all if you want to install CM11 you must to use latest CWM from CM11 thread or TWRP2.7 or Philz latest. And now mount sd card copy your sense rom to the card install it, flash the boot img. and you are good to go. After this read again thread for CM11 and how to install and try agin but be shure you read the thread
use the recovery that thommy put in the first page of the cm11 post (or the philz last recovery) it seems that the cmw that you have doesen't support kitkat
