did you do a full wipe b4 restoring?
yes i did. The restore doesnt seem like it take as long though. I backed up through rom manager. Would that have something to do with this issue
Try downgrading CWM to an earlier version such as 3.0.0.5 and then reupgrading to 3.0.0.8, I had an issue with CWM before and this fixed it.
i will try that
ive never made a back up with rom manager but it could be your problem.....
ROM manager could be your problem, it is known for unsuccessfully completely backing up or restoring ROMs. IF you are trying to use ROM manager to restore your backup try going into recovery and doing it manually. Perform a full wipe and wipe Cache and Dalvik. The go to back up and restore > restore > and find the .zip on your SD card.
If that doesn't work than try downgrading CWM and retry the restore.
If it still doesn't work it is likely ROM manager didn't successfully back it up and you will have to reflash WarmZ, at this point I would flash the newest version possible since you will be starting fresh.
And next time to remember to back up in recovery, that way you can watch it as it backs it up and watch for errors.
So whenever this official HTC Gigerbread update comes out, I'd like to try it. I made a full Titanium Backup and a full back up with CWM (with no errors) before first installing CM7. Can I just use that backup to go back to the stock ROM and then update to Gingerbread? And how can I tell if I have S On or Off? I think I turned it back on after running UnRevoked Forever, but it wasn't really that clear. I have the ability to grant SU access, that my understanding was that SU is different from S On or Off.
If your backup is the stock rom with all the bloatware then you should be able to restore it and get the update. I've heard it said that the phone also needs to be S-ON but I'm not sure, I do know you need all the bloatware though. To check S-OFF, boot into bootloader (power and volume down) and look near the top of the screen when you get to the white hboot menu, it will say S-ON or S-OFF.

I installed ROM Manager and tried a couple ROMs. At some point (hard to remember exactly when) the installation of a ROM failed and now my phone keeps rebooting into ClockworkMod Recovery (v.2.5.0.5). I went to backup and restore and tried to restore the backup I made. It runs for a few minutes and then says it's done and takes me back to CM Recovery. When I select reboot system now it boots back into CM Recovery.
Any help would be appreciated. All I really need to do is get some version of Android (I don't care if its 2.1) back on the phone. I can then apply the RUU and restore my apps from Titanium Backup if needed. I am not worried about losing everything - I have everything I need backed up.
Can anyone help, How can I get Android back on my phone? I tried the steps here (http://androidforums.com/incredible...ideo-howto-unroot-incredible-downgrading.html) and that didn't work.
Thanks in advance,
Derek
Can't you just download a RUU, put it on your sd card, choose install zip from sd card, and be good? Not sure if you've already tried that or not... I'm not sure what else you might be able to do. I'm not so technical with that stuff, so someone else should chime in.

Try downloading a rom, go into clockwork restore to factory, wipe cache and dalvik cache. Mount SD card put fresh downloaded rom there. Unmount SD card and install rom via install from zip. Make sure its a different rom then what you were trying when it happened just invade and good luck

your boot is errored go into hboot(hold volume and power button on powerup) and do a factory reset... take out sd before hand... reroot(i suggest unrevoked) and then install rom manager, (insert sd)then use that to reboot into recovery. then recover from the recovery you have on your sd.

It's cool and you were right, RUU's are a stock rom that wipes everything but they have to be ran from a computer with hboot open or something like that
I have a rooted Evo running 3.29 and I do not want to lose any of my data. When I updated from 3.26 to 3.29 all I did was download the update in a .zip file and flashed it via recovery.
I want to know if this same method is available for the newest 3.70 update.
I'm a little confused because I have been reading not to flash the update because I will lose root. Now that Unrevoked 3.32 is available I'm not sure if that rule still applies. I've been reading around here for a few weeks and I still have not found a solid answer.
Make sure that all of your contacts are in gmail, make a nandroid(CM) and than reflash (Amo Ra) download this (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PXIYUNSY) (Put in sd card, boot in to boot loader, than say yes to update)This is the easy way to update with out any problems. once everything updates the 1st boot will take a while, after booting make sure to flash Cm with Rom Manager, than reboot in recovery, than select back up and go in to advance restore than select the nandroid that you did earlier, and than restore data only. this will give you all the apps that you had and everything else.
Question? What is CM?
Clockwork Mod(recovery Image) flash with Rom manager app.
Thanks so much!
Please report back.
I will in the morning.
I downloaded the 3.70 RUU & unrooted and updated in 1 step. Prior to doing that I backed up my data and apps using Titanium back up. Rerooted and restored all of my apps & data using Titanium back up. All of my screens, icon and docks were back where they belonged!

So got my G2 today, rooted, installed Hboot, started up the phone, logged into all my accounts, got stuff how I wanted. Made a backup via Clockwork.
Then I tried out CM7 Nightlies, decided its pretty good but I wanted to go back to my backup. Loaded into Clockwork hit recover, picked my backup. The phone then just sits on the HTC screen. Never going to the G2 screen or getting back into the OS. I can't get a logcat from it either to see if it is crashing. I can get back into recovery, and flash another rom, but why isn't my backup of my original image working? There are no errors when restoring, I've tried a few times.

If you are using CM7, does this mean you upgraded to one of the CWM3 recoveries? Not sure if this has changed, but backups made with the older CWM2 recoveries are not compatible with CWM3. You will need to reflash back to the older recovery before restoring your backup (pretty sure there are lots of warnings about this in the CWM3/CM7 threads, so you should probably check those out to see if this is no longer the case).
I used CWM3 to make the backup, i assumed that would work to restore it.
EDIT: Okay. so CWM3 can't handle ANY Froyo, regardless of if the backup was made with it. Misunderstood that part. Flashed to CWM32 and it worked. Thanks.
Is there a way to restore, or at least read, the contacts data that were stored in the phone (not through google account) from a ClockworkMod nandroid?
Summary:
1. Went to update family member's phone to newest SprintLover's ROM from original stock rooted 3.29.
2. Backedup apps through titanium, flashed CWM 3.0.0.5 through ROM Manager.
3. Used ROM Manager to make a new backup of the 3.29 stock ROM.
4. PHONE COULD NOT REBOOT AFTER BACKUP! (Hung at the white HTC screen)
5. Figured, **** it, and installed the all-in-one radio/ROM PC36IMG.zip from SprintLover's ROM.
6. Update went fine, but realized some of the contacts were stored in PHONE and not google account.
7. Can't flash into the backup I made, it hangs at the white HTC screen.

Have you tried restoring the backup from within your recovery instead of using ROM Manager? Give it a try and see if it helps.

Thanks for the fast reply, but...
I forgot to mention that. I did clear data/cache after I updated to SprintLover's in recovery, and then tried to nandroid restore my stock 3.29 backup.
It still hung at the white HTC screen, no luck.
I have since restored the SprintLover backup.

Oh okay. If you want the original 3.29, you can download it from the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060
If you don't mind a little friendly advice, I recommend that you stop using ROM Manager and flash amon RA v2.3 atop of your ClockworkMod. ROM Manager, in my opinion, has its uses, however, too many people have experience similar things as you while trying to flash roms. Anyway, take care and have a great weekend....

Thanks for the tip and link.
I use AmonRa on my phone (for at least the past 8 months), but figured I wouldn't run into trouble since Clockwork has been updated so much. However, I agree, too many issues I've had in the past and now with Clockwork.
I appreciate the original 3.29 link, but I only really need the contacts that were on my nandroid.
I guess I'll poke around and see if anything is in some sort of plain text file in the nandroid about the missing contacts. About half were in google, and half in the phone.
Just wondering what course of action I should take. If anything could get me back to my first nandroid. I just rooted my phone, and I started trying out roms, seeing which I liked best. Not sure how it works exactly, but I figured it was that I could go from one nandroid to any other and it would work. I flashed mik3d, made a nandroid, and then flashed destroyer. All correct steps done, all fine up until that point. Tried to restore, and neither of the nandroids worked. And i tested them before I flashed destroyer. I was stuck in destroyer. Since then ive been able to flash either destroyer or mik3d, but i tried cyanogen and it gets me stuck in bootloop no matter what I do. After flashing mik3d or destroyer, it let's me restore to the last backup before the flash. No other. I backed up my apps originally, but not the data. i guess i just wanna know if I could find a way to restore the original nandroid and get my apps back instead of losing all the data. Also, mik3d is currently running EXTREMELY slow. Computer unavailable for the next few hours, typing this on my phone, and its so laggy. This has taken about 15-20 minutes to type. And if there really is no way to restore my app data by restoring the original nandroid, then what should i do to restore to stock ROM, rooted or not, doesnt matter.
OK, first off, if you're just rooted, you probably have Clockwork Mod for recovery.
You want to change that to Amon Ra.
There's a post in the development section with the file and how to flash it.
This will make your nandroids obsolete.
If you DO have Amon Ra now, or after you flash it, so this:
Go to Wipe.
Wipe All User Data/Factory Reset.
Then wipe ever sub-option, EXCEPT, SD Card: or Battery Stats if you're not fully charged.
Hit return and USB Toggle. Put the ROM you want to flash on your SD Card, then you can flash that. If I were you, I would just use the Stock/Rooted ROM from the Dev section first. You need to have a Sense ROM anyhow, if you ever need to update PRL, Profile, or take your phone into Sprint.
Once you have that loaded up, go back to Recovery and make a Nandroid of it. I always backup everything except cache, which ensures that if I have to restore, it's exactly back to how I had it all set up.
Then, put a custom ROM on that you want to flash, repeat the Wipe Procedure and flash away!
Well I'll try all that when I get home. In the middle of a 4 hour drive now. But I realized that I might have an out. Just got a new SD card yesterday, and I was using that. Switched to the old one, which happens to be after I loaded mik3d but not yet destroyer, and I'm back to the stock Rom rooted. I'll deal with the rest later.
