I would like to try cm7 nightly but have amonra. Is there an easy way to flash each update like there is when using rom manager and clockwork mod recovery?
I tried to search but didnt find exactly what I was looking for.
Basically will I have to flash each update like I would flash a new rom?

No, you've gotta have Clockworkmod and the paid version of Rom manager
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic
That is the mirror site for CM7 Nightlies. The new ones tend to come around 10:20pm [EST]. You can download it on you compy, move it to your SD card, then do your backup [no need to wipe the cache...can if you want] and you're all good to go.

before anything if your coming from CM6 or any other rom you need to do a complete wipe on your phone. if your coming from another nightly or another CM7 then your fine you just need to wipe cache & wipe dalvik cache.
things you need:
1. you need to be fully rooted
2. Astro - Free Download in market
3. Clockwork Mod 3.0.0.2 not 3.0.0.5 because .5 doesn't let you do back ups.
download it here http://phones.crackflashers.com/glacier/index.php?folder=cmVjb3Zlcmllcw==
4. Terminal Emulator - Free Download from the market
5. Rom Manager - Get The Paid Version from the market well worth it because once you load CM7 it will update you when new nightlies are ready to download instead of having to be checking over and over for updates.
download the latest nightly & google applications here (don't download Clockwork Mod 3.0.0.5)
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/14459-nightlies-cm7-discussion-of-nightlies/
Directions how to load Clockword Mod 3.0.0.2, CM7 Rom, & Google Apps:
download clockwork Mod 3.0.0.2
Open Astro then look for your clockwork Mod 3.0.0.2 file which should be on your download folder long press it & click edit then click rename & rename it to
cwm2glacier & click ok. once is renamed long press it again & click edit then copy then on the top click on the home icon. once your on the home of your sd card long press on any file not folder but file and click edit then click paste
now your clock work mod 3.0.0.2 file should be on the home of your sd card.
double check & make sure is there
open Terminal Emulator & type
su then click enter then type this
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cwm2glacier.img
& click enter exit out of terminal emulator then reboot the phone. once the phone is rebooted turn it off . once its off press the volume down button and the power button and the same time until it goes into recovery choose recovery if your recovery looks orange and it says 3.0.0.2 on top then your good to flash your CM7 Rom.
before installing the CM7 rom do a full wipe. after the full wipe you can flash the latest nightly by choosing install zip from SD card then click on choose zip from sd card scroll down to look for your rom most of the time it should be on your download folder. find your CM7 rom and flash it do the same thing with the google apps flash them the same way as the rom which are a must to have your phone running properly.

From the CM PREVIEWS thread, it was mentioned that clockwork Mod 3.0.0.5 has been fixed and is now appropriate for use.
Cool thanks for the update
In the video you mention that it's difficult (or impossible or complicated, I forget) to flash from Ice Glacier to CM7. But all you've got to do is Flash CWM3, wipe, Flash CM7. Done.

This OP should be updated because the current CW v3.0.0.5 does make backups. The file was patched and is available in the CM7 OP. It would be good to include TrueBlue_Drew's guide on switching between v3.x.x.x and v2.x.x.x of Clockwork Recovery in case people want to go back and forth from Gingy to Froyo. Just a thought.
I am getting ready to flash one of the nightlies and just rooted my MyTouch 4G without issue (rookie at rooting) reading a bunch of articles, I flashed the recovery 3.0.0.5.
Now I see an article saying I need the 3.0.0.2 recovery, then I see another article saying the 3.0.0.5 had be fixed and was OK to use for flashing the new nightlies. My question is the 3.0.0.5 recovery OK to use and will it allow back ups to be flashed as well.
Thank You
Vinny
I hear alot about 3.0.0.5 but I've being flashing all the nightlies up to #22 making back ups clearing cache making back ups etc with 3.0.0.2 if its not broken why fix it ill update to the latest one once is final.

You will want to use the latest clockwork. You can use my method, it is easier than this one and makes it ready to change back to the recovery needed to flash froyo roms. Here is a link http://goo.gl/K0xTy
The copy of CW v3.0.0.5 available on the CM7 OP dated 2010-01-16 is confirmed working and making successful backups.

If 3.0.0.2 works so great why did koush make 3.0.0.5? Its because there are functions that don't work correctly on 3.0.0.2

good idea. you know where i can find this guide by any chance?
Im not sure if I'm not doing something right but, after I downloaded CM7 #6 in Rom Manager, I select google apps as well as backup and wipe data but when it reboots, it hasnt changed and i get a notification that the new update is available. What should I do?
Forget about rom manager, download it directly, install it to your sd card and flash from recovery. I just flashed it and works fine.
Just thought I would ask, you do have CWM recovery 3.0.0.X installed right?
Keep in mind now that your running cwm 3.0+, rom manager is useless....doesn't work and don't recommend using it until its workable.
[G2/HTC Vision]
yeah i do. i have CM7 #5 right now and per your suggestion I am about to flash the #6 rom now after downloading it.

Don't think you need to wipe data when flashing nightlies... Wouldn't that defeat the purpose?
i just booted into CWM and flashed the rom. thanks for the help
After you root and install ROM manager, how do you flash the ROMS. i mean i know the steps but i must be doing something wrong. Here is what I'm doing.
i have a mesmerize by the way.
1. Open Rom Manager
2. Install ROM from SD Card
Do i need to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery first?
Any help would be very greatly appreciated ...i might even name my first born after you.
and if you can tell be where i can get custom battery, and Wifi ROMS for the mesmerize i may even name my second after you also.
Yes, you will need a custom recovery to flash a custom ROM. CWM or Amon_Ra flashed through Rom Manager will do the trick. Once you have the recovery sorted you can/should do a backup of your current setup. Again, this can be done from Rom Manager.
Now you can move on to flashing a custom ROM.
I'm having a problem getting the Roms installed, cwm says something about edifying. i have cwm 3.0.0.8. i went back and downgraded my ROM manager to 2.5.0.7 but my cwm is still 3.0.0.8.

There is a section in Rom Manager with older versions of CWM. It's that you want, not an older version of RM.
it would probably be easier to boot into recovery and install your custom rom from there. The method to get into recovery is different for each phone though.
Remember to wipe before installing a custom rom tho.

I've looked for the older versions of CWM in RM but cant seem to find them. What are they under? Sorry if I'm being a bother.
I've been doing tons of searching but I can't find an answer, I have still have CWM 2.5xx and I need 3.0.0.7 for most ROMs (I wish I knew that beforehand, I've been flashing roms and having tons of problems, and I'm sure that might be a reason why.)
anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!
Update your Rom Manager in the market and you will have the latest CWM. If you've already done so, go into rom manager and scroll down to "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" and change as needed. Your CWM will be orange now instead of green.

Download an Inc recovery from http://www.dougpiston.com check the MD5 sum with the one provided, rename the file PB31IMG.zip put it on the root of your SD card, boot into HBOOT and follow the onscreen prompts from there. That should do it for you!
EDIT: Or that ^ lol. I forgot about that... Haven't used ROM Manager in a whileeee.

Haha me either, I only use rom manager now to delete my backups. For everything else, there's recovery!
I use Astro for that

Yeah I pretty much had the same issue recently after I rooted with unrevoked and had whatever 2.5.x.x cwm that it put on there, and I wanted 3.0.0.7 so I could try a gingersense rom. After trying the zip method through recovery which I couldn't get working, I ended up just using the Rom Manager app, which brought me to 3.0.0.8 and I downgraded to 3.0.0.7.
Best ClockWork Rom Manager Version For Desire?
okay i used the latest original untouched once yesterday installed perfectly, however after doing a backup it crashed on htc start up loop. i opened recovery and re flashed my backup all worked okay but am now wondering what if something happens when installing a custom rom. what is the best version to use.
thanks
Easiest, and safest way to flash is via your recovery from boot (ClockworkMod/AmonRa etc). ROM Manager itself has seen many issues recently and many people advise to stay clear of it until it's totally stable.

ROM Manager is made by ClockworkMod devs. It's an application, a standalone app whereas ClockworkMod is a recovery and this is what you would use to flash the ROM. If you have ClockworkMod as your recovery you flash a new ROM using this procedure:
Do this first to backup your existing ROM in case anything goes wrong.
Then do this to flash your new recovery.
Hopefully everything should go okay.
EDIT: You can leave ROM Manager where it is, it won't affect anything you do in the above procedures and you may find that your new ROM doesn't package it anyway so you won't have it anyway.
for me 3.0.0.5 was the best for desire

I've got 4.2.0.2 but I can't comment because I've not used it yet but I know I successfully partitioned my SD to ext3 using the version you mention (only because I couldn't get gparted to work).
