Yes I am rooted and have S-OFF, plus have hboot-eng.
Sounds like you have the stock recovery. You need to flash clockwork recovery via rom mananger. Then retry.

How do I do that? I do not want to do the wrong thing.
Download "rom mananger" from the market, when it starts up at the top it says "flash recovery". Select your phone, it will install clockworkmod recovery. Then about half way down it says it says "backup current ROM" name it what you want and start.

Thanks,
I am there.
Is this the same as Nand backup, and does the rom that is backed up stay rooted, or will I need to reroot after restoring the backup?
Thanks.

It is the same as Nandroid, it backs up your phone, "COMPLETELY", EVERYTHING is backed up, it basically takes an image of your phone and backs it up as IT CURRENTLY IS... then if you need to restore, it'll restore it to EXACTLY as it was when you made the backup.
Nandroiding does not affect your root status, because in order to nandroid, you will likely have root, and therefore, you'll be making a backup of your phone with a rooted status.

I'm still some what newby, as much as I don't like to admit it..
I'm not sure what I've done wrong.. I went to restore and clicked on the last file I backed up.. Yet, I'm stuck at checking md5 sums. How long does this usually take? I'm at about 15 minutes of waiting. Is this normal?
It should normally go pretty quickly. Did you edit anything in your backup before you tried to restore it?

Nope, I didn't change anything.
I've tried from both Clockwork and from Rom Manager. No luck either way.

Try that, than report back. use Amo-Ra.

It's telling me before I back up I have to have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing.
On the very top of rom manager, flash ClockworkMod Recovery , than do the amo-ra.
Let me ask this. Do I even need to flash to my stock rom before I flash to a new rom? Currently I'm on Fresh. I want to flash to Vael. Is it required to restore?
No. just make sure to do a nandroid back with Amo-ra and make sure to back up your Wimax image with it. Before flashing do at least wipe everything twice. Data,cach,dalvic.
I am trying to get back my original backup and everythime I try it says:
Checking MD5 sums…
Erasing boot before restore…
Restoring boot image…
Error while flashing boot image!
I think my HBOOT isnt the write version but im not sure.
Did you change the name of it and use invalid characters, such as a space? Or seems your backup may be corrupted.

What recovery are you currently using? Clockwork? If so, what version?
Well, do you have signature verification off? And what's your bootloader say? Have you switched recoveries in the process?

Yes they are off, What info do i need form my bootloader, And yes I went from Clock work to the green one that starts with a A then back to Clockwork.
Well thinking back, bootloader wouldn't matter, as long as you're rooted. And well are you trying to restore an amon_ra backup from clockwork?

You can't switch recoveries like that. The recovery you used to backup is the one you must use to restore. Backup with clockwork you have to use clockwork to restore you can't use RA.

Not sure I'm following ya but if you want to go back to green aka RA then there is a thread in DEV. on how to do it. The pc36img is the easy way. I think its pc36img any way can't quite remember. You put it on your SD boot to hboot and it will ask if you want to flash it. Basically

I just made a backup and none of them will restore. No matter how old or new
How are you doing it? Are you choosing to install zip from sd card? If so... that wont work. Go into backup and restore and restore from there. Make sure to wipe everything first.

I did that, Ill dont know i try and fiure it out.
I had my Evo (android 2.2) rooted with unrevoked forever but had to take it in to Sprint. I unrooted with the S-ON zip and then flashed the closest PC36IMG.zip that I could find on the forums. Finally, I did a factory restore and applied the OTA (3.70.651.1).
I've got the phone back now, but ever since the flash my 4G refuses to connect. I suspect I might have messed up my RSA keys.
I have a recent nandroid backup, but I'm afraid to restore it because the PC36IMG.zip updated my radios. My question is: is it safe to restore?
I'm aware that I'll have to re-root and install clockworkmod again.
I'm a long time reader, first time poster, and I appreciate your input
Heck, if you're able to re-root, it wont matter. Once you're S-OFF, simply reflash the radio, PRI, NV & WIMAX that you had before you unrooted and then restore your nandroid backup. You *should* be fine afterwards. By the way, the radios are independent of roms so it's not like your baseband, PRI, NV & HBOOT was backed up when you made your nandroid backup with the WIMAX being the only exception and that is if it was selected to be a part of the backup. Having said that, if you are not able to re-root then I would not attempt to restore a nandroid backup.

Alright, thanks! I won't be able to downgrade the hboot, but I'll give it a try nonetheless. I'm assuming that bricking the phone's unlikely as long as the downgrades themselves are successful. I'd just have to reinstall what I've got now if the backed up ROM is incompatible, right?
Edit: I've got the wimax.img in my nandroid backup
If you have the OTA, and its s-on as you said, you can't root it as of yet.

Do you know which OTA that was? I have a feeling that I didn't get the latest one, since I'm not on Gingerbread.
I did get some strange results after running Unrevoked - I have S-OFF but I get the red triangle/exclamation point when booting into recovery and I don't have root.
If you are S-Off then you just need to reflash the recovery. Once you do that you should be able to reload your nand backup.

It seems like you do not have a custom recovery flashed.
User ROMManager to install Amon or Clockwork.
As long as you are S-Off still, then you will be able to reboot into the recovery of your choice.(Didn't see you didn't have root)
Try rerunning UnrEVOked.

You don't have a recovery; http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/PC36IMG.zip Download that, place on the root of your sd card, boot into the bootloader, apply update, reboot, reboot in recovery, and you'll be on Amon_ra 2.3 recovery.

I've tried UnrEVOked three times, all to no avail. Still the same result.
And yeah, I tried ROMManager + Superuser from the Market but they didn't work. Definitely no root.
I figure that I should be able to push clockworkmod using fastboot from my computer. I'm having a bit of trouble tracking down the right recovery image though.

Ah that one got posted as I was typing... thanks for the upload. I'll try it now.
It worked! Thanks teh roxxorz. Now I'll go ahead and actually get superuser, install CWM, then restore the backup and hope for the best with 4G
Update: I'm done and everything works flawlessly. Including 4G. If anyone has the same question, I can tell you that it's definitely possible to restore to a nandroid backup, provided that the radios are reasonably close to the originals.
when restoring nandroid back ups does it have to be with same recovery version i made back up with? i had to unroot my evo from cyanogen mod 7 to take it to sprint. now im trying to restore my evo back to how it was. the nandroid restoring keeps failing. this is the log
clockworkmod recovery v2.6.0.1

i dont remember which version of clockwork i had when i made the back up. what can i do fix this?

Not the case for me, I made a backup with the backup/restore feature running ClockWorkMod 2.6.0.1 (somewhere around that version ) and was successfully able to restore it using ClockWorkMod 3.0.0.1.

Restoring backup has nothing to do with unrooting anyway. When you run the ruu, its going to wipe everything. And next time, use amon ra
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.

Because the system data will be different, and can and most likely will cause problems.
The best thing too do is backup your launcher settings and apps via titanium, then restore them on the new evo, though when restoring the app, ONLY do apps+data, NOT system settings.
The problem lies within your first post you cannot wipe boot with clockwork. You need to download and flash vrsuperwipe or calkulins format all. Then restore your backup because it is failing to flash your boot.img on top of an unwiped boot.

I'm going to repeat what I just said; it doesn't matter. When you unropot, everything will be wiped anyway. You will loose your data and have no way of getting it back unless you back up apps and texts before running ruu
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.

What exactly does a Nandroid backup. Is it like creating a Hard Drive image for windows?
After installing CM9RC I want to go back to my previous stock configuration. If I restore my phone with a nandroid, will I recover everything previously installed on my phone? I am assuming the stuff in the sdcard folder gets excluded from the wipe right?
Thanks in advanced,
Aphis
Yup a Nandroid is more or less like a restore point. And yes excluding sdcard.

Yes. Note that a nandroid backups up the system partition, the boot partition, the recovery partition and the userdata partition (excl. /sdcard). It does not back up your radio or bootloader, so if you change those, you will have to flash them separately.

Thanks for the quick response.
That would mean that if before creating the nandroid I had permanently installed CWM and rooted the phone, restoring the nandroid would keep my phone with CWM and root right?
