hi i tried to backup my rom (SuperClean3 V0.5) using my recovery (v3.0.2.8x) and it says Error while backing up boot image , any idea what is fix thanks
I love this rom it is what i was looking for ..i cant afford to loose any piece of it
thanks

imo you should be using cwm 2.5.1.x red...you just have to rename the backups since it gives a wrong date, but it flat out works.

getting into red recovery after installing wrong kernel

My sch-i500 was in sc2.9.1 with no voodoo, so I wanted to change the kernel to voodoo so I mistakenly installed voodoo kernel 5.5, which was for gt-i9000.
it looped the boot, so I turned it off and reinstalled sc2.9 by odin. I was able to boot, but I cannot get into red recovery even after applying cwm-recovery-ALL by odin; when I boot into recovery, blue recovery shows up and it says:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblkOp2
(No such file or directory)"
how can I get back to super clean 2.9.1 with voodoo lagfix?
Honestly the easiest way to make sure you are on a clean install would be to flash back to stock with the DL09 (i think) odin package.
Do a search its floating around somewhere. It will bring you to stock and make sure everything is clean.

I know how to do that way, and that is my last resort...
I just want to know if there's any way to fix the problem without going back to stock. I really hate to reset all my settings/apps/data...man I regret not backing up my phone.
You can flash other rom but it will show same error.
Just back up stuff using titanium backup. I've flashed my phone more than ten times and titanium really come handy.
You sure can search every site but you will eventually use my guide
Like I said, I had same exact problem.

Sadly stocking your fascinate may be the only way to go.
If you are able to navigate around in the stock recovery you might be able to find a way to launch red cwm through it or clear the caches and try reflashing with odin.
Good luck!

I believe if you restore this, you will remain rooted. I had rooted through z4root. Your recovery will also be intact. After restoring you can try to unroot if you wish via z4root.

How to restore this thru amonra? I place it inside nandroid folder, when i select ORIG-CLEAN-NAND-BACKUP, it shows all the files inside it not restoring.
[Q]-I have to unzip CLEAN-NAND-BACKUP.zip right? I miss stockrom.
Are these just the contents of the NAND backup zipped or was this created through a separate tool?
On a different but slightly similar note, does anyone have a link to the V10G stock ROM that can be flashed via KDZ?

Yeah. Unzip it. You will have a folder named "CLEAN-NAND-BACKUP".
Put this folder under sdcard/nandroid/mem=471M
Then you can go to recovery and do the usual thing.

This is flashable with Clockwork. All you have to do is rebuild this as a "rom" from the kitchen.
This, of course, takes a little more time than flashing another recovery image. It's just that I feel uncomfortable with flashing and reflashing something so important (recoveries).
could anyone give me baltics nand ?

[Q] CWM vs. TWRP?

Are there any clear benefits of one recovery over the other? I'm a fan of TeamWin but I'm comfortable with CWM... Is either recovery clearly superior?
Preference is the deciding factor.
Appreciate my help? Thank me
Not sure which one is better, but i've been using ClockworkMod 4.0.1.4 that came with Revolutionary S-OFF tool and it's worked flawlessly so far.
Do CWM work with Rom Manager
I personally like TWRP for the customization options plus the race horse is kinda cool too.

You can just click on the first option in Rom Manager, which is "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". That's pretty much it.

I'm a big fan of Rom Manager. I use it to organize my backups. I've used since day one of the OG Evo and never had a problem with it. If anyone is having any bugs, go into the market and download rom manager and update clockwork mod recovery. Mines working flawlessly!
I remember a long time ago, people claimed that clockwork recovery had a problem with wiping cache and dalvik cache. Is that still an issue? Thats the only reason I stopped using rom manager back in the day.

there shouldnt be any issues when flashing the newest clockwork right? say, making a backup in the CWM that came with REVO and then trying to restore it with the newest clockwork? i feel like that is an issue simply because i made a backup of my stock rom with the newest recovery and i got the MD5 error, and i cant restore it. im doing a full backup and restore test right now, ill report back.
EDIT:alright so i was able to do a full restore with the newest clockwork. i guess i just got a bad NAND on my stock rom. and the funny thing is the same thing happend with a stock rom on my G2. what causes this damn MD5 error?
That would be appreciated by many here... Don't want to get stuck with no way to restore

[Recovery Flashable] Nandroid Helper for the Rezound

As you guys know, we can't flash boot images directly from Recovery. This makes restoring nandroid backups more difficult.
Well, not anymore. This flashable allows you to restore the boot image from a nandroid backup directly from recovery. For those of you who are experts, this duplicates the functionality of "fastboot boot recovery.img" in a self-contained zip.
To Use:
1) Flash the attached zip file
2) Press Volume UP when prompted at HBOOT
3) Reboot the Device (it will probably ask you to press power to do so)
NOTE: If the device doesn't reboot on its own, reboot "normally" not into recovery. It will take you to recovery automatically. If you go into recovery via the HBOOT menus, you still won't be allowed to restore boot images.
4) Restore your nandroid and with its boot image. It will flash this time
5) Done.
How it works:
1. Dumps your recovery image
2. Zips it into a viable PH98IMG.zip and drops it on your SD card
3. Downgrades your main version
4. Reboots to HBOOT so you can flash it
5. You then boot into unprotected recovery.

Good to get a confirmation that it works.
So we use this any time we restore a nand correct?
yep. It just allows Recovery to flash the boot image, but it is temporary.

Yeah but it offers no benefit or extra ease. The way we install custom roms right now is the ideal way.
con247 thank you so much for this. I fastboot flash everything from the computer. But two guys that I help out on gtalk on a regular basis had a bunch of trouble with the PH98 process, but aren't able to use fastboot on their computers while at work.
Both guys have been using this rom very heavily going back and fourth between ICS and gingerbread, and both have confirmed this is very easy for noobs compared to the fear they have of ADB, fastboot.exe, and the cmd line.
Thanks again. You are an incredible asset to the Rezound and Android community.

I can't restore any backups. I'm using the latest amonra. It just says oops check recovery log. I tried doing it regular and with this but they both failed and I had to use the ruu to recover each time. I don't understand what the problem is.

It might be related to using the Amon Ra 3.14 and trying to backup android secure. Dres, just released a fix because the Devblock location changed so it borked making or restoring backups that contained android secure. Sorry , if this wasn't helpful , but I realized my backups worked because I never backup android secure. Just figure it might save you a lot of debugging when its probably on the recovery this time not the app.

[Q] Need help restoring a backup in TWRP

I made a backup of my HTC EVO LTE Stock ROM in TWRP, I flashed CMX, now I want to go back to Stock, so I went to TWRP>Install, I can see my backup folder under /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/name of backup.. but I when I select the folder it does not give me the option to Install it. It just opens as an empty folder. I did notice the folder is not in a .zip format. Is this the reason why? Did I miss something during the back up process? And if so, how can I fix it? Is it as easy as just converting the regular folder into a .zip folder then try to install it this way?.. Please tell me not everything is lost, lol.. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Need to Restore But Getting Black Screen
Okay so my situation is similiar to the OP.
I was running CM10 then a custom sense Rom.
I made an original backup, but when I restore it I get a black screen at boot.
Typically when I flash a Rom I have to fastboot flash the boot.img which is no biggie, but there's no boot.img that I can find in the twrp backup.
Might be just as easy to flash a stock Rom, but not sure exactly where to find one. Everything I've found is rooted or custom in some way.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

The ROM I'm trying to restore is the original state of my phone. Would this be a stock ROM with a versioning date of October 28th(the day I got my phone and made the backup), current stock ROMs, or launch stock ROMs. Basically will any boot.img work from a stock ROM?
I do see the boot sector being written during the restore process. There is a boot.something.win file in the backup folder for the backup. Can this be fastbooted? I'm a bit timid to try that, but thinking it may be worth a shot...

Thanks for the quick reply, QuickWizard is very fitting. I actually got it after I finished going my own route though.
I grew a pair and went with my got and I went ahead and flashed the boot.emmc.win from the twrp backup in flashboot. It successfully got me booted and logged into the phone. That said the stock rom is so crappy...
But, I was having issues on CM10 with MHL, on a "stock rom with goodies" I was having radio issues with the latest firmawares, so now it's back to my rooted stock backup and I'm doing the HTC System OTA update... Should be interesting what happens next...
Again thank you all with the quick replies!
