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 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.
Ok, simply put, I am not able to restore a nandroid properly. I tried 2 different ones and when I reboot the phone just after the completion from recovery, it hangs on the white HTC screen forever (waited 40-50 mins before I took the battery out, with no luck). The "older" nandroid was restored succesfully a couple of weeks ago, so that's not the problem.
Any ideas? Thanks.
S-off and custom hboot image?
If yes make sure the hboot is not to small.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Nope, S-ON. Recovery is AmonRA if it even matters, and the nandroids are MIUI_Au roms.
Sorry for double-posting, but just wanted to say I finally managed to restore the nandroid.
If it happens to anyone else, what i did was flashing the same exact rom the nandroid had in it. After that, back to recovery, wipe all user data and dalvik cache, and restore the nandroid.
Maybe it's something related to the kernel and not the rom itself. Anyway it's fixed.
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?
Hey all, I had Clockwork installed, and needed to flash stock to take into sprint. I tried to do a backup 5 times, but it kept freezing up on me. So i rebooted and went into ROM Manager and flashed Amon Ra. I rebooted into that, and did a backup, and it said it went fine. I checked the sd card and the backup file was about 500mb which is what it should be. I flashed the stock rom, took into sprint, and then went to restore the backup. I did a full wipe before restoring, and then went to restore. It started with the dots across the screen, but never stopped. I waited over an hour, and it kept going with the dots, which I know shouldnt take more than 10 minutes tops. So I pulled the battery, did another full wipe, and did the restore again.
This time the restore took about 5 minutes, I rebooted, and my rom's boot animation started playing, a good sign. However after the boot animation, all I can see is the stock HTC rainbow bubbles background (which was not my wallpaper) and I also see the Mik rom status bar. But nothing else. No lockscreen, no apps, no nothing. I have since tried multiple battery pulls, multiple wipes and multiple restores again, and the same problem still happens. I flashed the stock rom again, and that works fine.
So am I pretty much screwed here with this backup? Unfortunately, I did not use Titanium to backup my apps and texts, as I figured it would just be a quick flash to stock to take into sprint and then a quick restore.
You might be screwed. I was having that problem. I switched to amon-ra haus mod and I back up everything but recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik cache before and after and it works fine. But right now you may be S.O.L.
We're comin from a pure power source.
Did you try rflashing the rom and then restoring? Just a thought

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm trying to do that now, reflashing the base mik rom, then I will try a restore without wiping, hopefully I can get all my apps back long enough to back them up, and then I will do another full wipe and flash
Edit: well that didnt work at all, a restore just puts me back to where I was, just a backround and status bar, no buttons or lockscreen or anything. I guess that backup is corrupted. So much for Amon Ra being better than clockwork...
This is the only recovery that has worked flawless for me. Its amon-ra haus mod. I don't know the difference I just know it works.

Not that it's the cause, but you shouldn't use ROM Manager, for any reason, really and definitely not to flash recovery.
The best way is the PC36IMG.zip from the thread for AR in the DEV section, flash it in Hboot and then try to flash your ROM, after you wipe everything, except the SDCard: option.
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.
