I wanted to know if it is possible to backup information on an Evo and transfer it to another Evo if they are both running 4.24.651.1 through recovery?
I'm pretty sure doing any kind of system files is a bad idea. if u just talking about sd card contents then that is ok
Okay thanks for the feedback

You can...but don't transfer the WiMax partition, otherwise you'll mess up the 4G part. You'll have to either do a custom backup without the WiMax partition or a custom restore without the WiMax partition.
I did this very thing on an Acer Iconia tablet I had (old one broke, but it was rooted and backed up...rooted the new one, put a custom recovery and ran restore...worked perfectly).

Okay so I want to flash a rom preferably myn's warm 2.2 but someone told me I shouldn't because I used unrevoked. What do I do?

Don't see what the issue would be. I used the newest unrevoked to root and have flashed nearly every rom available, including myn's warm TwoPointTwo which I am currently running.

If you're rooted with S-off and amon ra or clockwork recovery works, then you should be able to flash any rom. I flashed myn's warm 2.2 on a hw 004 with hboot 2.02 with no problems. All depends if you fully rooted your phone.
How can I tell if it's fully rooted? I have super user and a bunch of other apps that require root..and did I just answer my own question? Lol $ is off. I just need to know to do a nandroid backup so I can try flashing for the first time (I'm a little concerned)

Power off the phone. Start the phone holding volume down and power. You will be at the fastboot screen. At the top left look for it to say s-off or s-on. If it shows s-off then your fully nand unlocked. If it shows s-on then you will need to dig deeper. Depending on your hardware revision if it shows s-on then you may be able to use unrevoked forever.
If your s-off then use rom manager to flash amon-ra (highly recommended)..
Be sure to place any flashable zips on the root of the SD card so amon-ra will see them. And yes do a nand backup first.

Check the link in my sig for a walk-through on backing up and flashing your first rom. It's pretty basic, but should tell you what you want to know.

Thank so much for the guide. The reality was I already knew what I was doing just needed to know what to do with the backup once it was made.

Okay I ran into a problem, did a nandroid backup and can't find the folder in my sd card for it, what do I do?
Nandroid backups are found in your SD Card under the nandroid folder.
I found out that I was using clockwork(kinda sad that I didn't know this from the start) and it was in the clockmod folder now to take a risk and flash this rom.
I rooted my Evo with UnrEVOked 3
S-OFF using stock Froyo 2.2 Rom
How do I do a Nand backup ?
What does it mean ?
Whats the best and safest way to do it ?
Will wiping data be involved ?

To do NAND backup, you go into recovery. There should be an option for backup/restore (I use Amon_RA so CWM might be different). You do this before wiping your phone to install a new ROM or new kernel/radio/whatever. If something bad should happen when you flash the new stuff, you go back into recovery and do a restore.

Well I'm not going to flash anything yet . Just wanted to know if I should do it now after fully rooted ? Or there is no need to back up yet ?
I'm still learning about rooting & after about a month of being half rooted I finally got the S-OFF today
& got me a custom boot animation & got rid of some stock apps I didnt use .

Most newer roms have a recovery option when you power off
Either clockwork or amonra both have nandroid so just navigate the menus and you will see it.
And make sure your battery is charged up good or you will get an error.

Download ROM Manager from the market. You'll have the option to use Clockwork Mod or Flash Armon recovery so you can be sure
any chance of getting amon_ra recovery on here???
Proly not
I dont think any sgs or variant had this pulled off
Clock work i as good as we get

although that might be the case, Clockwork backup isn't as good as amonra. I dont know if they made any changes since last time I used it which was 5months or so, but when you backed up using clockwork, it never saved wimax.img which contains your RSA keys.
Hence why I lost my 4g on my evo a while ago. happened to flash a bad radio file which deleted my rsa keys, and then when I tried to recover through clockwork I discovered that it never backed up my wimax.img file, and was SOL.
Hopefully they fixed this problem, I would hate to lose my 4g again.

Yeah hopefully we get amon_ra, I never used CWM on my Evo because of this...
Basically the problem I am seeing is when I try wiping sd ext in recovery (using ra-3.0.7gnm, a modified amon ra which has never given me problems since install months ago) I was getting an error that it could not be wiped and would be skipped. My next step was to repartition the sd card in recovery (8gb class 10 pny). That seemed to work but when I attempted to upgrade ext 2 to ext 3 it gave an error and would not let me. Currently I am using my computer to create the ext 3 partition but what could be causing the recovery to fail upgrading the partition? Any advice or recommendation or should I switch recovery? Tia.

You'll have to flash something that will convert you to mtd first... so root, flash an mtd rom that will convert you... then restore backup....

However my SD card is on MTD currently. So will I need to re partition it in order for clockworkmod to recognize it? Or when I use Odin to get clockworkmod can I just check re partition there?

the sd card doesn't convert the only part that gets converted is the physical memory of the phone. you have to odin cmw then install your mtd rom then restore.
