I've read something about backup&restore problems regarding the new CWM update. That if I backup my ROM with CWM 2.5.1.3 i won't be able to restore it with CWM 3.0.0.1?
But, what if i take the backup with CWM 3.0.0.5, and then try to restore my backup with the same CWM version, wouldn't that work? At least that is what I am trying to do, but after restoring i'm stuck at the white HTC letters in the startup.
The ROM i'm trying to restore is, as you probably understood, Revolution HD 2.0.11.
Is CWM 3.0.0.5 mainly for Gingerbread versions maybe?
BTW, this is my first post here, thanks to all developers ho work here! And sorry if my English isn't so good

AFAIK Amon Ra recovery was never released on the DHD. I've had the phone from day one and after the struggles with root, the first recovery release was a version of CWM by Paul.
You sure you're not confusing this phone with the original Desire? You can't restore Desire backups on the HD if that is what you are attempting to do.
Regards.
maybe i am confused... my backup of the stock rom that came with my dhd is what i am trying to restore, i was sure it was made with amon ra but maybe i am wrong, and when i try to restore it gives an md5 mismatch.
i will give pauls original recovery a try.
thanks
Ive got my Desire setup pretty good but want to try some new roms out.
it was rooted using revoked and running clockwork recovery v2.5.0.7.
Can i just do a Nandroid backup and restore it no problem if i dont like the new roms? or do i need my desire s-off?

YOU NEED S-OFF (AND ENG-OFF IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE BASEBAND RADIO)
wen you do a backup of your older rom you can restore it without problems and it restores user data, apps, system, dalvik cache...etc... all things that you was haved.
try and enjoy new roms after doing a nand backup!!!
EDIT: now is available a new version of Clockworkmod recovery:::: lastest:::: 3.0.2.6 and a new version of ROM MANAGER::::: 4.1.0.0
YOU can install it from android market...
don´t forget that if you use an older version of CWM for sd card partition you can brik your device... be careful!
byeee boooyyyy!!!
To be safe, if you partition it, mount sdcard in pc separately. For Windows, use Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition. Then 0% chance of brick.

Hi Guys,
I Rooted my HTC Desire using Unrevoked Here
http://androidforums.com/desire-all...nrevoked-windows-updated-20th-may-2011-a.html
after that I saw AR-Recovery (via recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.1.img) and there I created a Nandroid Backup. After creating a backup I saw Nandroid folder made in my SD card with backup inside.
Last night I S-OFF my HTC desire using AphaRev 1.08 and when it asked to isntall CWM Recovery during process, I replied YES..
Now I have CWM Recovery, when I go to it to restore my ROM, it cant locate and use my Previouis backups created with AR-Recovery.
Any Way I can restore those backups since I had lots of applications and settings done with that and I cant go through the whole process from Zero again....
And If I restore the backups when I created before S-OFF, will that turn my Phone S-ON again?
Well, you can flash AmonRa via Fastboot Commander.
Or with unrevoked V3.21

I dont know why ppl are mad about CWM Recovery?
I would love to flash AmonRA Recovery.. its just amazing... creates and restores backup so quick.. CWM takes so much time... But still I will install CWM recovery because it ahs become universal recovery
Is there any way I can one time Restore my backup restored with AmonRA recov ery without flashing it? Like some Fastboot stuff..?

This issue is intimately tied to the inner workings of the recoveries which are obviously different. I don't believe that it's a good idea to restore backups made with a different recovery.
If you restore an amonra backup with clockworkmod or reverse, you will get an usb brick.

I' m lost. Is it OK ?
I made a backup of the stock ROM using CWM but had issues getting certain ROMs to work until I changed the recovery to TWRP. Is it possible to restore the backup made in CWM with TWRP?
I was planning on backing current ROM with TWRP, going back to CWM; restoring stock ROM, installing TWRP and recreating backup with TWRP but I'm just wondering if it's possible.
Thanks!
EDIT: I found the answer myself not 10 seconds after posting this. I hate it when that happens!! FYI, the answer is No.
Hello everyone,
I have rooted and unlocked my bootloader, and installed CWM 6.0.2 I believe (summer 2012). I was using 4.3 Deodexed ROM and decided to upgrade to 4.4, so I mad a nandroid backup through CWM. Then I found out that 4.4 required me to update my CWM to 6.0.4.3, so I did. After upgrading CWM, I was unable to restore my old 6.0.2 backup. Is there any way to restore it, or do I have to downgrade CWM?
If I need to downgrade CWM, can I first perform a backup of my current 4.4 ROM and then downgrade, or is there a chance it will mess with old CWM?
Thanks in advance,
silentz0r
Sorry for bumping, I have noticed that after upgrading CWM, it made new directories into /sdcard and moved my old directories into /sdcard/0. I tried copying the contents of the old CWM directory into the new one (/blobs and /backup) and tried to restore, but still got the same error message notifying me that no backup is found. Is there no way to restore an old CWM backup with newer CWM?
If anyone ever has this problem, I suggest installing ROM Manager. My backups spontaneously started working through ROM Manager (even in CWM recovery). I have no idea why the backup could not be found before, but using this pretty much fixed itself. Marked as Solved.

Thanks for the heads up!
But shouldn't you just have made a back-up before CWM upgrade, then upgrade CWM, make another backup (just in case) and then install 4.4?
I am still on 4.3 and I will do it this way in the near future.
