*reflash "our cwm" after using ROM manager to flash the ATrix one.*
When using rom manager to back up it will always backup osh which takes forever....
The only useful thing I guess is you can boot to recovery with it. If it would not backup osh then it would be more useful for quick backup and renames.

Actually the use of this is full ext4. Im currently testing a true ext4 full rom with an ext4 recovery from atrix

You said to flash "our CWM" recovery. Did you flash Romracer's or Calkculin's CWM?
Thanks!

Romracers and yes from fastboot.

First thing u do is take a backup.
Than wipe all for first time flashing.
Wipe dalvic cache and wipe cached when u switch between same rom. (Like upgrade).

Thanks for that link. I was able to use it to easily switch between AmonRa and ClockworkMod. It didn't work going from AmonRa 2.2.1 -> ClockworkMod 3.1.0.0, but I was able to go to 3.0.2.4, and back and forth from there. It is a lot easier to try different recoveries this way!

For this you will have to switch to amonra again. And you can restore your back up.
Other way is to first switch to cwm on your desired rom. Then take a nandroid backup via cwm. Then for restoring you will not have to go to amonra.

Does anyone know what the difference between CWM 3.0.2.4 and 3.1.0.0 is? I made a bunch of backups on 3.1.0.0, but it is easier to switch between 3.0.2.4 and AmonRa then it is to do the same for 3.1.0.0, so I was thinking of using those 2 (when I need to use 1 vs the other), but I wanted to be sure my backup will still work with the older CWM

So you are saying,when we plan to switch frm amonra to cwn,first we have to flash cwm3.0.2.4 then flash cwm3.1.0.0 to work smoothly.

To be more specific, I'm saying that with the zips provided in the link, I got an error when trying to flash CWM 3.1.0.0 when running AmonRa 2.2.1. I was able to successfully reflash the 3.1.0.0 zip from a running CWM env, and was able to flash the 3.0.2.4 zip from AmonRa. So at least on my P509, I can't go directly from AmonRa->CWM 3.1.0.0 (vice versa works fine).
But yes, you can do:
AmonRa 2.2.1->CWM 3.0.2.4->CWM 3.1.0.0 using the zips provided
There is probably little reason for most to use both; play with them and choose one. For some of the stuff I'm working on, there are features of each I need though, so I've been going back and forth.
I flashed cwm 3.1 over amonra 2.2.1 without any problem.

You can make your backup and flash your backup using cw it really simple.the backups take up a ton of space so you might want a bigger SD card. I keep one backup on my phone and I move the rest to my computer

Just download the tenfar CMW and use fastboot to flash it again
fastboot flash recovery (then use file name you downloaded)
Make sure the recovery.img is in the same directory as the fastboot.exe file. Makes it easier.
Thank u

You're welcome!
The tenfar recovery is better, it allows you to access the sd-ext and install zips from it. Whereas the clockwork one doesn't give you that option.

Post 59 has a Clockwork flashable zip that will load Telfars recovery. Save you some time and no need to mess with fastboot.

Sorry which thread is this zip file located in? I looked in the tenfar thread and its not that.
Also I assume you're saying that the zip can be installed FROM Khoulk safely?

Stay with tenfars recovery.
The ROM Manager version is still not recognized an external sd card and can't data/factory reset. (from what written here).

No, you will get errors with backup and restore.
Is Tenfars recovery the whole package or are some parts borked like rom manager? And if so, what parts?

all of tenfars options in the recovery menu work correctly, it does not have an app once the phone is fully booted though

Installing recovery issues

I tried installing cwm with rom manager and when I attempt to boot into recovery I am at the android screen with a triangle. I then used rom manager to flash rom racers cwm and I thought it was successful but I got the same screen when booting into recovery. So I used goo manager to flash TWRP. Same issue when booting into recovery. I am unlocked and rooted. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

Here's an idea - stop using ROM manager!
How about you try flashing recovery using more traditional methods, like fastboot? That hardly ever fails.

I'm was just following the directions in the thread for installing cwm. The directions are dated since this is an older device. That's why I asked the question. TWRP is the recovery of choice for me on my GS II.

Did you delete (or backup) install-recovery.sh from /system/etc? If not, then that is most likely causing your problem. See the "Miscellaneous" section of this 2nd post from romracer's thread.

How to flash cm 10.1

I've got my boot loader unlocked. I'm rooted on v10g. I have cwm and I was wondering if I could just flash the zip file with cwm.
I think you have to make sure you have the right recovery to flash with. If I'm not mistaken I did flash with the cmw for locked bootloaders but to be safe I'll say to find the right one that is for unlocked bootloaders. I'm using CMW touch for unlocked bootloaders. Make sure you do a factory reset. It might not be necessary but I run a factory reset, I wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing a ROM. Also, make sure you backup your stock ROM before flashing another.

Here is the recovery file, just install it using fastboot as cmahendra describes in his awesome guide
Everytime I issue the unlock command to try and get in fastboot mode it just restarts my phone.

Oh, I didn't know you had a P769.
Look at the bottom most paragraph of the first post of this guide by carloswii5.
He explains it very nicely.
So to get this straight. I download the recovery image & put that on the root of the sd card. Then flash it. Then I'll boot to recovery & flash cm 10.1

Yes, exactly, but use the "Nandroid Manager ROOT" to flash recovery and then do a full wipe + format system before flashing CM10.1
You can of course then flash Gapps as well.

If you want to install the cm10 rom the optimus L9 has as of right now you
have to do the following
1) Go to the app store and search for the app called "Nandroid Manager ROOT"
download the app and open it then go to flash recovery you must first put the recovery from the downloaded file to the
root of you external sd card and then go to the app and search for the recovery and flash it.
After you flash it you will have a recovery on your phone
(just to let you know it will be mirrored) but to boot to recovery you must turn off the phone
and then hold the "Volume UP + Home Button + Power Button"
now go download the cm10 rom from here " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216542 " put the file to the root of your sd card and then reboot to recovery and then to flash you will need to "wipe system, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache then flash" after you flash the zip reboot and you will have CM10 Hope This helped
