Rom Manager (CWM) not allowing me to backup my ROM. - G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps

I'm trying to make a backup of my current rom and when I go to Rom Manager and choose Backup current rom, it then says can't mount system. I then tried going directly into recovery to try it from there and it says the samething. Anybody else having this problem or is there something I'm doing wrong? When I first rooted my G2 I was able to backup my Stock Rom but now I can't.
I'm running GingerVillain 1.4 if that's any help.

Its bcoz u have old recovery...u need to flash new clockworkmod recovery 3.....coz gingerbread uses ext4 system....which old recoveries do not support
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

U just have to download the new recovery.img file which u can find in this forum easily....put that file in the root of the sd card....then open terminal on ur phone n type these commands:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery
Thats it....n remember to rename the file to recovery.img if its already not that...coz that makes it easy to type n remember...

Then u'll have the new recovery....and u can easily backup and restore ur gingerbread roms....for froyo roms u need the old recovery...for that the easiest way is to flash recovery via rom manager....hope this helps...

How to fake flash

Hi
I'm a S ON I need to fake flash cwm3.0.0.5 how do I do it
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Why do you need to fake flash? Run unrEVOked and select CWM as a custom recovery
Maybe they have CWM already but need or want to upgrade it for some reason. The zip files are fake flash.
Iv downloaded the zip then what do I do
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
put it to the root folder of the sdcard, boot into recovry
if it wont be CWM 3.0.0.5 already then go ahead and flash downloaded zip

Clockwork recovery, new version

Hey guys.
When I rooted my phone (around christmas I think), I flashed the clockwork recovery v 2.5.1.4 or something through ROM manager. Doesn't really matter which version it is... I've noticed that there are newer versions of Clockwork now, 3.1.0.1 was just released.
So: Are there any benefits to this newer custom recovery, or should I just not bother with it?
And if I choose to flash it, will i be able to restore my ROMs that are backed up with my previous version of clockwork?
And: how to flash it? Regular flash the .Zip through recovery?
Thanks in advance guys

There are a few new menu options. New script that it runs off so rarely you have to use 2.5.x.x. If you S-On then you have yo flash the recovery through terminal.
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Personally I wouldn't restore backups from 2.5.x.x so make another one if you change.

I am s-on, and thanks for your answer. I won't bother flashing it (or whatever it's called when you go through terminal) then..

Why not?

I'm not really comfortable with the whole terminal thing. Everything works as it is, i'll just leave it like that

HELP!

I have an HTC Desire running Cool3D Aces, and recently decided to flash the alpharev recovery so I could partition my SD card etc.
Since flashing alpharev, I have lost all root privileges and have no superuser.bin or whatever in my system files.
Does anyone know what has happened or how I can fix this?
PS. I've tried flashing all of the superuser files and they do not work.
HELP ??!?!?!?!?
Alpharev recovery?! or Amonra?
Alpharev is for Hboot
Do you mean you used the recovery provided by AlphaRev (which is CWM) or what?

Yes that's what I mean
I'll post some screen shots of the hboot and recovery screens if needed
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
A flashable zip is, I believe, available on the Alpharev site containing the su binary and other files. Otherwise, you can get root by flashing any stock based rooted rom-teppic74's rom is the one with least mods.

Download the superuser 3.0.7.apk file. (Google the term it should be the first result) and flash it via recovery. Alternatively, you can choose one of the many roms available here.
Edit: download su here. http://androidsu.com/superuser/

I've have tried this many times and it does not appear to work .
Superuser was not found at /system/bin/su.
And now I cannot connect to PC for mass storage to use unrevoke(d) it

Stuck on recovery and htc white screen

After i wanted to increase wildfires internal memory by this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233340 everything was fine but then my phone couldnt connect to mobile network operator and i tried to flash new rom but now im stuck in recovery (i tried to flash miui bet 4) when i want to reboot system it goes to white screen and then comes back to recovery.
Can anybody tell me what can i do now?
Im sorry for mu english ..
Go back to stock recovery:
Code:
Reverting back to Stock
- Formatting all the 3 partitions. (i.e. /cache, /data, and /system)
- You will then need to flash a "Stock" Clockworkmod Recovery Image. Links (and procedure to flash) available in the Index Thread
Nothing happened
Did you flash a new ROM after following the steps mentioned above?
Just change mtdpartmap.txt to 250 40 then redo the whole process.
Wipe.
Flash bravo recovery.
Reboot recovery.
Install rom.
flash bravo boot.
Reboot.
After flashing a new rom you must flash bravo boot when already using a custom mtd and if the roms system folder is bigger than your mtd it'll get stuck at the splash screen.

I am flashing cyanogenmod 7.02 and sizes which are mentioned in previous post
Maybe somebody can say how i can get stock recovery or smt in very easy way if it is possible
If you want to go back to stock just download and flash recovery... I personally prefer fastboot method for flashing recovery or radio..

Yes thanks but i have no idea how to do that .. im reading but i cant do that
Get fastboot and adb tools from the given link in the post..
Now download the recovery for our wildfire which is also linked...
Extract the tools as well as recovery.img in the same folder..
Now open the folder in cmd and write " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img " and press enter...
P.s. i am issuming that you have the drivers installed.. or else you will have to inatall them too... In order to check if your mobile is connected correctly when you open the tools folder in cmd type " adb devices " and see if your device is listed.

After reverting to stock recovery, you will have to format system, data and cache... and reflash custom rom you want to flash...

Did you install custom recovery eg. CWM or TWRP?
If so, you can just try flashing again. Make sure you also flash the boot.img using fast boot.
You need to read all instructions carefully with a new rom!

Use the boot.img file from the rom you want to flash. It will be inside the zip file if not separate.
