There is nothing wrong with doing that. That what I do, any time I flash something new always works great.

Kernel backup

In clockwork recovery if I make a nandroid backup does that backup the stock kernel too. Also I have hardware lock fix installed will that be gone after I flash a custom rom like bionix thanks for the help

I don't think it backs up the kernel, if you flash a rom with a different kernel and you want to go back to stock you either need to use odin or flash the stock kernel. Search the'sticky' thread, it has all that stuff. Not sure about the hardware lock though

Stock rom .zip

Can someone please backup their completely stock 2.3.4 rom and send me it, and for the devs. Would it be safe using rommanager to revert back to a stock rom?
Thanks

use this if your bootloader is unlocked..

Cwm offical support

CWM added photon as supported device. I flashed cwm via app and now my recovery is all blurry. I don't know what's going on with it. Any one else please post ur finds. Can still navigate using volume buttons. If yours is like that just remember the top option is reboot device. It should reboot just fine.

Do you have a Photon or Electrify (not that that should make a difference)? Were you able to reflash the working version you had before?
Sorry I don't have any answers, but this does interest me. Might want to make/move thread to General Q&A or Devolopment as I wouldn't think this is a themeing question (plus you might not get many views in Themeing).

I posted here cause this is themeing and app section. I just posted as fyi.

I can confirm that flashing cwm via rom manager makes cwm blurry and skewed, but otherwise operational.

Fix. Reflash cwm zip via rom manager.

Well I'm getting a "Failed to boot 2" error now when I try to boot into recovery.
Reflash 5.0.2.7 in moto-fastboot mode.

Blurry CWM after udate

I updated to the latest version of CWM on my Photon and all of a sudden my Recovery is blurry running version 5.0.2.7. Has anyone else had these problems? Or found a solution?

I see three options for Photon which did you pick do we don't pick same one or can try other two to see which works also are you unlocked stock cm7 sorry for the 20 questions just want to be sure
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
bump.
Do I need to go all the way back to stock and re-root/unlock?
I just flashed cwm zip via ROM manager and it fixed issue

Same here blurry recovery after using ROM manager emailed Dev hopefully gets sorted out thats probably what description meant by generic support meaning in other words not fully working yet lol
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I used cmd and flashed .img file from scratch; everything works again. I'm sure a update is probably on the way until then I'll wait. I think jokerax11 is updating cm9 today hopefully to beta keeping.

How do you flash it through rom manager? I'm trying to help my brother out in another state so I can't do it for him. I did mine through fastboot so I haven't messed with rom manager yet.
just have him search xda for cwm 5.0.2.7 its a zip file so he can flash from the app.

Actually ...ummmm. That didn't work once I tried it.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
i went all the way back to stock to be safe. but now all is well i just wont update it
Yeah...just had to reflash the CWM using the fastboot cmd method...I'd really like to try the CWM Touch Recovery once availble..that'd be SIIICK..

gingerblur to ics cm9...is it safe to go directly?

yea i wanna know if this can work...obviosly with full wipe on cwm before hand or is there something that i may have to do also.

Yep. Just full wipe before.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
It depends on the process you use and what CM9 based ROM you choose. If you format /system, and you use a non-Aroma .zip, you need to flash twice in a row. More help and info can be found in the thread of the ROM you choose.
ok im using this method and files from this vid
