Hello! I'm in a pickle here, I gotta restore my backup that I've made with Clockwork recovery. The problem is that later on I've flashed Amon_RA and now I can't get it to restore the old Nandroid backup. Help?
From what I gather you can't. You could use ADB (from the SDK) and reflash Clockwork
Thank you very much Do you have a link on a guide on how to flash a recovery image via adb?

you don't have to...
make sure you have that restore somewhere safe, reinstall clockworkmod (CWM) from the market,
use the line that says: install (latest) recovery (normally it's the first option in CWM)
it should replace your amon ra with CWM Rec
then u can use your nandroid again you made with CWM
after that, you can still decide wich recovery u use (but if it's amon ra, make a new nandroid!!)
hope this helps..
If I don't want to flash the clockwork mod recovery but still want to extract a current ROM, how would I do it?
It doesn't appear to be possible, I was wanting to do this as a backup prior to rooting etc.

And you can find them in Development Section.
TWRP

Hello,
i recently install rom manager and i was trying to install CWM recovery. I saw an option Flash CWM touch !

What will happen if it is "Off" and i press flash CWM recovery?
Difference between install and flash?
I'm confused!
Thanks!
So I used to used to use twrp recovery, but then switched to Philz, but I had a nandroid backup of my stock rom on twrp. Is there a way I can transfer that backup to Philz recovery? Thanks.

The thread says that only cwm and twrp are compatible, but I don't see any mentions of philz. Also how do i use this app to convert my backups from twrp to philz?
Well Philz is just a modded version of cwm I believe so it should be compatible. If you read through the thread it states that you can make a flashable zip out of your nandroid backup.
No need to jump through any recovery hoops just to backup a stock AT&T ROM. All versions of AT&T stock ROMs are available as RUU.
If you really want a nandroid of your stock ROM, and the above mentioned app doesn't work, you can always: revert to TWRP, restore the stock ROM (TWRP nandroid), flash Philz, than make a backup (Philz nandroid) of the stock ROM.
