[Q] backups not working - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my backups arent working for rom manager. it says checking md5 sums,
error: unable to flash boot img...
all of them do this, new or old. anyone know whats going on??

Which CWM are you presently using, did you rename the files possibly? Also, you could try installing a new CWM through hboot and see if that works.

I would try reflashing cwm thru hboot. Also if you just recently updated cwm, older cwm backups do not work with the 5.x.x.x version and vice versa. Also i would copy everything from your sdcard to your pc then format the sdcard fat32 with windows, then copy your files back to the sdcard and try again.

i am using 3.0.0.8, never have switched away from it. tried once and it dodnt go to well so back i went.
how do i flash it through hboot?

You can get the recoveries here http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=28, and here is how to flash thru hboot http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=79. Make sure fastboot is unchecked in menu - settings - applications first.

I won't lose any of my setup doing that right?

No you wont loose anything, it will just ensure cwm is all there and installed right.

redid cwm through hboot, same issues. even reflashed the rom, backed it up, cleared in cwm again and tried the fresh nand. error while checking md5 sums. never moved any of them, never renamed. its pointless to even try cause i have to reload the rom everytime my phone turns off or needs reset...
any other ideas?

Mabey try flashing amon ra recovery and see if that will work for you. I know cwm 3.0.0.8's backups are compatible with amon ra.

Is there something special p
Involved with flashing amon ra? It's grayed out...

Greyed out in what rom manager?
If you are using rom manager, go in to its preferences and make sure erase recovery is checked. Although it is not reccomended to flash things thru rm.
You can just flash it thru hboot http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/AmonRA_3.02/

RESOLVED [Q] Cannot get into Recovery using Uncommon Sense 1.1

I downloaded and installed Uncommon Sense 1.1 however I am having a huge issue. I tried restoring one of my previous nandroid backups, but when I tried to get into RECOVERY I couldn't. I keep getting into FASTBOOT or HBOOT. When I try to get into RECOVERY from there it just takes me back to the FASTBOOT screen. I can't access my Nandroids. Please help.
I have S-OFF and HBOOT .77
Thanks JABANMX
[RESOLED] Just reflash Clockwork Recovery in Rom Manager. Yea I know I feel stupid.
Of you have Rom Manager try reflashing Clockwork. You can also restore from ROM Manager.

Thanks but it still doesn't work. I doesn't matter if I try it manually or from ROM manager. When I go to restore my backups or even backup my current rom it looks like it tries to go into Recovery but it just ends up going to the FASTBOOT/BOOTLOADER screen.
Did you try reflashing recovery, not rebooting into it, in ROM Manager?

WOW thanks! Yea that worked. I was sure I had tried that before for some reason. You're a life saver. Idk what I must have done. This is why I'm still a total noob. Thanks again.

Can't boot into recovery at all....

I flashed the new clockwork mod recovery, and now I can't boot into recovery. At all. Not even power down and volume works. I've tried to restore a backup rom using rom manager, but it just goes to the bootloader menu. So confused... What do I do?

Guess you will have to start from scratch....

Copy the PC36IMG.zip file on your sd card and go into bootloader. Bootloader will automatically scan the file for you and when asked to flash, flash it.
If that works it will atleast get you into a stock ROM and you can go on from there.
Let me know if that works
Damn. Ok. Guess I'll try that when I get home from work :/ Thank you, I'll keep you posted.

Don't do that yet check my posts I had this problem a day ago.
Uninstall Rom manager then reinstall from market, flash clockwork, hit "boot into recovery", if works reboot and flash amon ra if wanted.
This solved my issue 100%
If not they gave me a link for help. Try that first before redoing everything.

That's the route I took. With the added bonus that whatever unrevoked 3 might have done to my radios when I originally rooted with the Android Central method is now bypassed.
Just need to get CM back in fighting trim again now that I've reflashed it.

Can't flash other ROM's after CWM issue

I was affected by CWM when I upgraded to 3.0. I can't flash any ROM's except for Fresh's. I've tried going through Rom Manager, manually downloading ROM, AR recovery. The ROM install will complete but when I reboot I'm still in Fresh's. I don't know what it did to my phone. I've even deleted the rom.zip and downloaded it again thinking it was a bad download. From here on out I'm permanently switching to AR so if you guys can let me know what I should do.
By the way I list my backups. I did have a backup of UD but it won't restore in CWM. Will it work if I copy the backup from CWM and move it to the Amon Ra folder? I don't want to try it and possible make things worse.

Yes I need help on this, too. I wanted to go to Myn's rom and can not at all. And I believe I read backups are not interchangeable between CW and RA.
You need to restore amon_ra 1.8 as your recovery and then reflash your rom. Cwm backups are not compatible with ra.

I tried that. I re-downloaded the ROM's, placed on the root, flashed in Amon Ra and it completes but doesn't boot up. Out hangs at the white htc evo splash screen. The CWM broke my phone.
I'm trying to avoid flashing the stock RUU and rooting again. I'm guessing there may be a file thats conflicting. By the way I deleted ROM manager permanently.

you can do this using cwm(rom manager) , if its greyed out then dl the latest amon_ra1.8 and put on the root of your sd card, then try again thru cwm. thats what worked for me.
But yea the latest cwm update isnt something to get excited about. doesnt play nice on some evo's.
stick with good ole faithful Amon_Ra and start flashing from recovery, not from some app. its always stable and not to mention wipes correctly/easily
Any tips? I need to get my AOSP rom and Sense ROM loaded.

[Q] Hlep can't install rom on htc evo

Hello, just checking to see if anyone can help, everytime I try to install a new rom it says that it installes but then when I reboot it boot loops after the htc evo 4g screen. I have used clockwork recovery and also used ra-supersonic-v2.3. The only thing I can install is my nandroid that I have from a previous rom. The new update wont boot either. If any one can help please let me know.
Try wiping everything and then flash the rom. And dont flash two zips at yhe same time.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
ok tried it, still no luck, never gets past htc eco 4g boot screen
try it with both recoveries and if it still doesnt work try older recovieries by going into rom manager going into the very botom and click all clockwordmod recovieries and flash a different one.
I have also used a format all.zip, nothing. everytime i wipe everything multipule times it does the same. Only the nandroid works no other roms will. Please help

Yes i did try diffrent recovery's no luck
well clockwork is your problem. lol. install amon ra v2.3 recovery. once on there wipe everything in the wipe menu except the rotate settings and the sd-card. flash your rom of choice and you should be set.

Bootloop HELP

Just this morning I was running CM7 on my Evo. I wanted to return to stock. I think i messed up the name of my backup and it was saying not md5 sum. I looked up how to generate a new md5 sum. So I tried restoring my backup and it it couldn't find my boot.img. I tried flashing CM7 again but it just took mr back to Clockworkmod when I rebooted. I don't know what to do now. Please help!

First, use smelkusmod recovery.
Clockwork is the worst recovery for the EVO. Why you ask? It's been known to not wipe properly on the EVO, in turn giving you problems on than newly flashed ROM. After you get done with that, try again, or flash a different rom

Yes there is a way. Connect to your computer via usb. While in recovery, go to mount usb-ms or something of the sort, and that lets you look in the sdcard in window's so you can put a new Rom on there

Hmmm. Interesting. That always worked for me. Search YouTube on how to make the comp recognize it with clockwork

Or if you have a card reader, just put the card in the reader and plug the reader into your PC. Download the Smelkus recovery and whatever ROM you want, then put your card back in your phone. You can install the new recovery through the bootloader so long as the recovery file is named PC36IMG.zip. After installing the new recovery you can go into recovery, wipe everything and install the new ROM.

I am so happy right now! I feel stupid at the same time. Tried plugging it in to a different port. So seems like one of my USB ports aren't working. Who would've thought. Anyway so now im am going to flash that recovery. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Glad you got it working. Don't forget to make a Nandroid backup once you get your new ROM up and running
