Its possible. Maybe your recovery is outdated so it doesn't have the option to use internal sd. Use the latest romracer's recovery.

Thank you guys,.. that was the problem,...
I Updated, actually downgraded recovery trough the ROM manager , and version was 5.0.2.0 i think,....
but i was prompted to `upgrade` , i couldn't backup my ROM if i didnt do it,.. i guess that was the only way?

Dont use the one from rom manager. Romracer's recovery is different from the one from rom manager. Romracer's recovery is specialized for our atrix, so it can detect atrix partition, including partition for webtop and emmc (internal storage).

While I agree with the previous post about using Romracers recovery, I don't agree with the reasoning, but you should definitely use Romracers. The ROM Manager version, if I am remembering correctly does not allow backup to external sdcard? I forget, but in any event, Romracer's recovery is the most stable and widely used for the Atrix. (Oh yeah, and avoid touch recovery).

Thank you guys,...
I wonder, why they include ROM Manager in roms if we cant really use them?
Same thing with my Asus Transformer

You re right. Thank you for the correction. I forget that its external storage that rom manager doesn't support.

i wouldnt recommend using ROM manager but if you have amon recovery theres a nand backup & restore for those purposes under the backup and restore tab.

Yes, just use the Amon Recovery, which you're probably using, to flash update.zip from the SD card. update.zip is put there by ROM Manager and will take you to Clockwork Mod Recovery. From there you can access the NAND backups you told it to make from ROM Manager. If you're talking about deleting old NAND backups from Recovery, not exactly, but you can mount your SD card through USB from recovery (easier in Amon RA, but can be done via an option in one of the menus in Clockwork Mod, too) and then "manage" the files from Windows.
Does this answer your question?

[Q] how do install Eugene's Ginger Clone 2.2

hey guys can you guys help me install this rom on my phone its aready rooted Eugene's Ginger Clone 2.2 gingerbread clone... please!!!
download
move to sdcard/
go to recovery
make backup
flash rom (install zip from sd)
reboot
First install his rom then connect your phone to your computer and mount. Then put the rom in the internel SD card the one without avatar. Don't rename the file. Then boot into recovery and reinstall packages twice. Then you will be in clockwork wipe factory reset and cache. Then go to install zip from SD card, then choose zip from SD card and find the rom. Don't forget to backup your apparently.

What is the point of making a backup? I mean, you can always go to stock using odin and the JFD tar and pit.
Is backup just to save all your personal files, pics, music, etc?

reboot into clockwork mod and select install zip from sd card...the rest is self explanitory

I have heard this over and over. I only have one question that I could not find anywhere. Do you need to rename the "Ginger_Clone_Final_R2.zip" to update.zip? Everytime I reboot into recovery and try and get ti to install, I get the same message over and over; something to the effect of package not found. Thanks

you don't rename it. maybe your choosing the update zip from sd. it should be choose zip file from sd card then you choose the custom rom you're flashing.

Yea, thanks. I thought that was what I am supposed to do. I don't have that option though. When I reboot into recovery (through ROM Manager or on my own) I only have the STOCK recovery options. For some reason, the Clockworkmod options are not showing up. I noticed this about a month ago. I will have to try and figure that out first. Thanks again.

Have you flashed clockwork recovery from rom manager? If so, when you get into stock recovery just hit reinstall packages to get to cwm. You may have to do that twice to get it to work. If it still doesnt work try reflashing cwm from rom manager.

I had been doing everything right. I had to roll back to CWM version 2.5 (I think it is about 3 or 4 versions earlier than the current one). No wonder they have been making so many updates over the past few days. Well at any rate, I wanted to ensure I wasn't doing anything wrong. i have done it before, but for whatever reason (now known to be CWM) it just wasn't working. I got it fixed and now have 2.3. I will install my apps including Titanium Backup and report any problems. I hope there are none; from what it sounds like, I will probably not have any, but only time will tell. Thanks for posting and confirming that I was not losing my mind.

[Q] Anyway to get ClockWorkMod v3.0.0.5

Anybody got this recovery version... I want it...
Just update with rom manager if you have Root..
Sent from my wildfire
But i only get up v2.5.0.7??
Edited: Got it but why is not fully? As in I installed it then when I reboot is go back to cwm v2.5.0.1? Strange...
1. Open ROM Manager
2. Scroll all the way down to the experimental thing
3. Choose the latest. (3.x.x.x). it will download.
4. Scroll all the way to the top
5. choose reboot to recovery.
6. You will see an installing thing in recovery, after which you will have the new recovery
Edit: whoops sorry that doesnt work lol.
Just download the image from Jacobs thread here and then re-root with unrevoked, you need to select use different recovery from the menu.
But everybody makes sure sd-ext not works!!!
Ext is working fine here....

Strange Jacob stated and I confirmed sd-ext format under cwr 3.0.0.5 gives error!

Ok forget the error for now - how do you reroot with unrevoked when it does not work with new framework. I mean true you can do it if you flash the old stock rom and re root again but it seems to be too much effort for nothing.

oh yeah sorry my bad it doesnt work
cant mount or format.
However, I`ve found a great solution. When want to perform clean install under CWR3, flash update from SD Card CWR latest version v3.0.0.6 and here it is. Sd-ext and dalvik cache work like a charm.

[Q] CWM from ROM Manager

Is the CWM from the latest rom manager (blue, version 5.0.20) good to go for all your ROM and kernel flashing / nandroid needs? I knew the older versions had issues but been reading that the latest version is fixed.
I been reading bits and pieces would like XDA opinions.

Try it and tell us.
I don't see a reason to flash something different in place of -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
since it already works fully without problems.
Depends if you want to take risks or not... Romracer's works just fine.
after I unlocked and rooted, I installed CWM rom manager and installed CWM recovery 5.0.2.0 from the rom manger and worked perfect, I have done about 3 back-ups and has work perfect
It's working and now supports sdcard & internal sdcard.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
It also supports ext-4 (I believe romracers does too) so its good for those looking to flash CM7 pre beta 4
yep turns out its the 'recommended' one for CM7 so I'm going with it for now.
cheers

Confirmed? I did a backup a couple days ago from in rom manager to test it, and it just backed up to internal sd with no prompts. Perhaps you're talking about from directly booting into recovery? In that case, pass, I'll stick with rom racer.

As of today, RomManager's CWM does give you the option to choose the external sd card but it doesn't actually work. So internal only still. And RomRacer's recovery does NOT support ext-4, only ext-3 as far as I'm aware.

Yes, you can uninstall Rom manager. But don't delete the clockworkmod folder on your sd, it holds your backups and 4ext can restore those.
And if you flashed 4ext, cwm recovery is gone.
thanks wikd,
if i remove rom manager will the folder containing those backups remain?
just a thought im going to copy all backups to my pc.

It should stay, I've flashed a lot or roms and that essentially uninstalls it, but my folder stays.
thanks again wikd,
I copied all backups and roms to my pc,ive now removed rom manager and cwm backup folder is still there.
have checked with es file explorer all seems well !
and again 4ext (free) is great.
Now you have 4ext i advise you install the 4ext updater app
It allows you to update to the latest version through the app, it's great!
Get it here
http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
thanks 00mpollard,
ill try that.
00mpollard,
is that not what ive got installed already ie free option?
It's the free option yes
00mpollard,
can i update using this free app of 4ext??
Yeah you can
thanks 00mpollard,
could you explain how to update 4ext?
