So i tried to flash muiu rom thru rom manager and got caught in a reset loop at the boot screen. I then flashed a old cm7 zip from the recovery screen just to get the phone to boot. When i tried to restore my backup from rom manager it takes me to the recovery screen and does not restore ( just stays at the recovery screen). i really would like to restore that backup. any suggestions?????
Well, this won't help your back up problem, but trying wiping everything you can, except the SD Card and the flash MIUI in Recovery.
ROM Manager is really not a dependable way to flash a ROM.
Also, you try to reflash your recovery before you do anything and try the back up again.
Oh, and if you're not on it now, use Amon Ra for Recovery. Plenty of threads that tell you how to get it.
Thanks but is there any way to restore the backup I made with rom manager in recovery?

I attempted to install Mikfroyo, and for whatever reason it failed and left me in a perpetual boot loop. I recovered a previous nand, and now I'm having issues with my unlock and everything is running considerably slower. I've tried to wipe several times and recover but to no avail. What should I do now? I'm using clockwork recovery should I switch to AmonRA? Thanks for the help
what unlock method did you use?
I would try wiping and reflashing and see if it fixes the issues. It seems weird that you are haivng them after you nand as it should revert everything back. you didnt change anything else or add any app theme kernel?
This is going from bad to worse it won't recover from a previous nandroid back up now it gets stuck at Checking Md5 Sums and then nothing. Is clockwork the only way to wipe this thing or can I wipe it another way and just load a new ROM?
if you can get Amon Ra recovery isntalled you can try that I have problems now again with clockwork ussually reflashign it or using amon works
Dont freak out if you dont see your nandback ups thorugh amon ra. It looks in a diffrent place. you have 2 options youc an either wipe data with amon and try to flash the update.zip to clockwork and nandroiding or you can move the back up from clockwork>backup to a new directoty on the root of your SD card called backup.
once in the correct folder amon will see and be able to restore them.
download rom manager from the market and use it to reinstall clockwork. If already says you have the latest version of clockwork installed, use it to install AR and just use AR going forward (just don't try restoring a clockwork nand with AR), or use it again to reinstall clockwork after you've successfully installed AR.
hello I just replaced a broken EVO and now that it is rooted I am trying to restore my old backup from my previous evo.. I am having a problem though
I go through all the normal process to restore a backup and everything works fine the super user permission pops up and the phone reboots but instead of rebooting directly into the reboot session it just boots me into the clockwork mod recovery recovery menu.. when i select the folder the recovery files are located in it shows up blank.. what am I doing wrong here? In the past when I selected to restore a backup from inside the os it just rebooted and started restoring automatically.. I feel like an extra step has now been added and I dont know what it is?
I should also not that while I do not know if it is related or not when I try to restore the backup from the nandroid section of the recovery menu it hangs on checking md5 sums and then says error while flashing boot image!
mind you this is on 2 separate backups I created in the past with clockwork mod recovery
It's probably not a good idea to use an old nandroid backup on a new phone. Think of how kernels run well on some EVO phones and not others. Your current phone might even be one of the EVOs with new hardware.

ok but can I still get all my apps and data back?
it would be terrible to lose all of that
and now to make matters even worse my phone is stuck on an endless loop on clockwork mod recovery I every time I select reboot system now instead of it booting into the stock rooted rom it just reloads the clockwork mod recovery menu.. what gives?
yeah, not good to load a backup from a different phone. This has been documented as happening. Just reflash whatever rom you want then radios then kernel. Sorry but if you didn't use a backup prog I thinkyou will have to manually restore apps. You may want to try titanium backup, solves the problem, use it and follow the backup instructions in Titanium backup wiki on their web site and you should be good to go next time.
Did you try a battery pull and reboot?

Nandroid backups are phone specific, you can't move them from phone to phone. You probably hosed your RSA keys which means your 4g may be broke. If I were you I would try to flash a stock rom and then reroot if needed. If that gets you out of the bootloop your in. You maybe visiting a Sprint store for a replacement phone again.
guys I could really use some help here please!
I went back to the stock rooted rom today.. all day I was adding apps making changes restarting the phone no problems.. I finally get my phone set up how I like it so I decided it was a great time to make a backup so I open clockwork mod recovery and select backup it gives me the superuser permissions prompt and restarts.. instead of starting the backup automatically it sends me directly to the clockwork mod recovery menu and now it will not load the phone's OS at all just reboot after reboot into clockwork mod recovery this is a 1 day old evo what is going on here!!??

Hey that exact thing happened to me. it happened the first time i ever loaded anything on my phone. I freaked out. Turned out the Clockword mod recovery I had must have had something wrong. I went back into the part where you load the CWM from the computer. My phone is different than yours so I cant be sure but you go into bootloader by pressing stuff, its where the logo stays there the whole time. then you flash the CWM again. and then reload the operating system and stuff. should work but just redo the CWM again. Hope it works out for you. Hope thats what it is for you too.
I tried to update my phone to Gingerbread rom using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109272
My problem is that I can not boot out of recovery or boot at all. I still have S-off and can still get into the boot loader. I was using a Unrevoked 3 with stock Froyo before I tried to update. I did a NanDroid backup and it still won't restore the rom I had before.It gives me an error " Error while flashing boot image" . I am using Clockword Mod v2.5.0.1. I tried updating the PC36IMG.zip file in hboot, but still won't boot. I am fully able to get into recover and hboot. Will someone please help!
did you name it pc26img? it should be PC36IMG.
Yeah , it is PC36IMG.zip

Well that was probably the most confusing method you could've tried to update.
The reason you're most likely getting the boot.img error, is because the nandroid backup that you're trying to restore, was created when you were on a different bootloader. If you followed the method that you linked to, I'm pretty sure that the new bootloader would've been installed with that. Since it's a different bootloader, your nandroid backups (from when you were on an older bootloader) will not work. You'll have to get the phone booting, and then start making a 'new set' of nandroid backups. Your old ones will most likely be no good now.
I would suggest that you download a new rom, and try to flash it after performing a full and thorough wipe. I would suggest using Amon Ra to perform a full wipe and do your flashing. I'll attatch a PC36IMG of Amon Ra version 2.3. Put that file on your sd card, then boot to the bootloader, and select yes to let it flash. Then boot to recovery, wipe everything in there, except for your SD card. Then flash a rom from scratch and you should be good
Great will try this right now. I was using rom manager to do all backups and restores also. If that helps any.

I would suggest using Amon Ra from now on, and flash everything manually from within recovery, instead of using ROM Manager. And by the way, the recovery you're going to install will NOT work with ROM manager. You can still download roms using rom manager if you'd like, but don't try to use it to actually flash anything for as long as you're on Amon Ra recovery.
So if you're not familiar with recovery, you should be able to figure it out relatively quickly. Just boot to recovery, selct 'wipe'. Select wipe all user data. Also wipe system and boot, and sd ext if your card is partitioned. Then go back to the main menu in recovery, and select 'flash zip from sd card'. Then find the rom that you loaded onto the sd card, select it and flash it. If its an AOSP rom, don't forget to flash teh gapps. Good luck.
EDIT: I would use one of these ROMS if you're looking for the stock OTA updated.

You're very welcome. I'm glad you got it squared away. Good work.
I installed kings rom with the 3.0 sense. I only put a few app on it and it was working great. I wanted 2 do a backup before I used titanium back up 2 restore the rest of my apps. After i did a back up, it is stuck on the white screen. This is the third time in a row this happened..I did the backup from rom manager which took me into clock recovery. I can still go into recovery put system isn't booting. Any suggestions?? Thanks
Dump ROM Manager and CWM. Get Amon Ra.
Wipe EVERYTHING, except SD Card
Reflash your ROM
Seem the boot may be corrupted; you'll have to wipe everything [cache, data/factory, dalvik cache] then re-flash your rom.
I haven't used clockwork in about a year I've stuck with amon ra and my boot is corrupted I've dumped everything five times and still if I want to flash a mod or anything in recovery I have to reflash my ROM . Any suggestions would be appreciated .
Have you run a RUU on your phone lately?? A few months ago, mine was acting up like that (not as bad) where my recovery got corrupted a few times out of the blue, so I ran the RUU (Without using S-Off tool, btw) and basically started over and all has been fine since.
Also, this may seem silly, but i alwasy flash ROMS from my Stock/Rooted setup, not whatever current ROM I'm using.
What's an ruu?
It's an image of the out-of-the-box stock setup for your phone. It's basically starting from scratch
Thanks..I re flashed and its fine now...
I was on the energy rom (12/25/2011) and went into recovery and tried to restore one of my backups and was getting the md5 mismatch error. Then i tried using amon recovery instead of clockwork and still didnt succeed. Then I went into terminal emulator and did a fix for md5 error and tried to flash again after wiping and now im stuck on white boot screen. No matter which backup i try to use. Please help!!!! Thx
your best bet is to probably use Amon Ra to wipe everything (Except SD Cardthen reflash your rom
how do i get back on amon if i can only get into clockwork? Last time i was amon i went through rom manager and flashed it that way.
Don't use ROM Manager. I have a detailed explanation and a link to the file you need in my guide. Click the link in my signature

OK, it's Clockwork, not clockworks, Amon, not Amons and clockwork does NOT wipe properly.
Just do as I posted and you'll be fine

Ok, so I was able to flash amon from your link (thx) and now I can't flash my backups. Am I supposed to download another stock rom and start from fresh again or will I be able to still use my backups that I made on clockwork?
Dude your backups are done. You couldn't flash them before, either.
You should delete your backups, flash the stock/Rooted ROM, and make a Nandroid of that, then do the wipe process again, and flash the custom ROM you want.
