How do I revert back to Amon Ra fro Clockworkmod.

Hey guys, need help going back to Amon Ra from Clockworkmod. Any help will be appreciated.. Thanks

Install ROM Manager and use it to flash Amon RA, it should be at the bottom of the main screen. You may have to let it reflash CWM first, but it goes back and forth easily.

Easy way? Install RomManager there's a option to flash an alternative recovery (Amon')

I think you are confused,if you do a nand back up using rom manager,then you need to restore it with clockworkmod (via recovery or rom manager) but you can not resore nor back up with Amon_ra using rom manager.

I used to have the Amon Ra recovery then tried the clockworkmod recovery. I want my nand backup from the amon ra but I can't restore it via clockworkmod.

Copy the /sdcard/nandroid/ folder to /sdcard/clockworkmod/nandroid (not 100% sure on the second path, I'll be able to tell you later tonight when I flash the nightly).
Voila, now you have your AR backups, in CWM.

So, if I understand.
I have Amon Ra and want to dl Rom Manager/Premium and flash CW Mod. I will then have a usable option at bottom to toggle between Ra and CW. Restore backups thru whichever one I used to back it up.
But, when I flash back to Amon Ra, I need to close out of Rom Manager and use Amon Ra as I have been doing.
drmacinyasha, I like your idea, but not sure I know how to do that safely. I am not good at ADB or Root Explorer if that is an option. Or do you just mount and do it on the pc?

Oops,
Guess the first part of my question was answered on page 1. These Looong threads are hard to keep up with.

Random issues since failed rom install

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.

Why can't I do a nandroid backup with Clockwork

I was on the AMon RA Recovery v1 8.0 and I could use quickboot to get into recovery and do nandroid backups easily. Now I flashed the clockwork recovery and tried using the full version of Rom Manager to do a nandroid and all it does is ask me what to name the file and reboot me to a white screen with options to reboot, recovery, usb toggle and that is about it, no option to do a nandroid backup. When I thought it was supposed to do it itself seeing as that is what the menu says.
I guess I need to reflash the RA Recovery and do it manually. But before I try anything else is this clockwork app good for anything? Can it install ROMs ok or has this app been forgotten and is no longer updated?

Because Clockwork does not restore a nandroid you made using RA, and vice-versa.

I know that. I need to know if clockwork is broken currently. I saw a similar thread for a different phone and they are having the same problem.
I just went ahead and flash the RA recovery so I could make a nandroid backup. Then I can flash the clockwork recovery again and then try installing CM... Nah screw it clockwork is buggy. I'll just download CM6 and install it via RA.

I used clockwork to make a backup. You have to go into the recovery menu, and once in there, then you have an option to do a backup. They probably should have re-worded that top menu option to recovery/backup instead of just recovery.

I think CW and Rom Manager are both buggy in my experience I would stick with RA.

Help with Amon Ra please

Ok so I've been using clockwork since I rooted but now I want to switch to Amon Ra cause I hear its better. The recovery works because I can back up and flash stuff, but for some reason I can't restore, it always says something went wrong, check the recovery log. Is it because I rename the backups?

It could be. If you rename a backup, it cannot have any spaces in the name, or any odd characters. I suggest renaming it to something simple, with no punctuation, and no spaces. Try that, and see if it'll restore.

didnt work :/

you arent trying to recover CWM backups with RA are you?

No, these are backups done through Amon Ra

What options did you select when creating the backup? You may want to try re flashing your recovery, and see if it works after that. Sometimes reflashing the recovery can clear up a bunch of odd recovery related issues.

For one of them I backed up all of it (clicked every check) and for another I only backed up the original 3 it selects for you; neither of them worked... Ok I'll try that

When you make a backup using amon RA, the name of the nandroid appears as such: BDAS-20110509-0440. The prefix tells you what was backed up. For instance, the BDAS in the above example tells me that I made a backup of the boot, data, android.secure and system. Because I flash a lot of roms, I rename my backups in this manner: BDAS-SALVAGEMOD-0440. If you don't add any special characters, your backup should restore if you've renamed it. If your renamed backup is similar to mine and it still fails to restore then I recommend that you re-flash amon RA as suggested by my good friend k2buckley. Specifically, v2.3. You can download it from the link below.

Alright thanks a lot guys it worked when I re-flashed the recovery through bootloader. For some reason, ROM manager isn't flashing recoveries for me anymore.

Some users have had issues with rom manager "not flashing correct," but I've never had a problem with it. Glad its working though.

[Q] evo 4g will not boot out of recovery

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.
