Yesterday, while at work, I unlocked the bootloader. All went well. phone was wiped and after booting back up it starting installing all the apps from the market.
Now today I installed clockwork.
My question sis about the backup. I know i need to do a backup. Normally I would have installed the new recovery after unlocking the bootloader and then would have done a backup then of the clean empty system.
But now the phone has all the apps on it. Will the clockwork backup have all those in there? or does it do the OS only?
Or do I need to go through and uninstall everything and then do the backup?
Suggestions?

It will back up any apps and user data on the phone at the time of the backup. Your backup will be an exact copy of your phones system, data, and cache.

Thanks. Went through and removed as much as I could. Backup folder is 1.89 GB.
Next up. UKB ROM. Thanks again for the quick answer.

No problem! That's what I just did last night. So far ukb is awesome! Stock was so good from the get go it took me a while to break down and actually root this beast. And I even came from a galaxy nexus crack flashing all the time hahah.

Hi.
I just unrooted and rerooted tonight, I definitely do have root access, but my phone is not restoring my rom I backed up earlier today (or any rom for that matter). It goes thru the restoring process, and within 20 seconds it says "system data not found"...."data not found"....etc. The backup is there, I can see it on my card, its just not restoring it.
I thought I bricked my phone but I was able to install a rom from scratch but badly want to backup as that has all my data but its not doing it......
I'm stumped.
How did you back it up?
Try doing it from recovery without Rom Manager

I am used to making backups and restoring with CWR on my EVO but now that I have the Rezound and CWR does not work, I make Nandroid backups with Amon-ra but am not able to restore them. I read somewhere that some things need to checked while on recovery mode but I am not sure what. What do I need to do to make a proper Nandroid Backup? And also do I need to flash anything else after I restore a backup?
If restoring an ics build coming from ics(or gb to gb) no additional flashing should be needed. Should only be needing to backup system data cache and boot. If you do s-off exploit, you can restore boot.IMG directly through the nandroid.

I know for sure it works with amon ra. Flash it in recovery, I think it boots automatically afterwards into bootloader, flash the image, reboot and it will go back into recovery on its own then flash your nandroid. Then all should be well. Just flashing nandroid will not allow the phone to boot

I've restored several times through Amon Ra backups. I back up the usual stuff and the Android secure file. So far no problems at all.
I recieved my CLNR from verizon yesterday. Made a nandroid last night.
Today I have unlocked, rooted and now I am trying to restore my nandroid.
This is what it looks like:
x boot
x system
x data
x cache
recovery
sd-ext
x android_secure
android_secure_internalsd
perform restore
return
I hit perform restore and this is what happens
oops....something went wrong. Please check the recovery log!
What does that mean and where do I go from here?
Thanks

Same here. I switched to TWRP and no issues thus far.
Do any of you guys have the recovery log you could post. Might shed some light on the issue.

Thanks for TWRP! LOVE IT!
Decided I better ask for help before digging a deeper hole...
I had rooted my Vibrant around September 2010 and tried some ROM at the time, don't remember which one. I didn't keep it for very long...I accepted one or two stock OTA updates thereafter, ending up with 2.1-update1/KA6.
Fast forward to yesterday, when I decided to try to go to Gingerbread so as to be able to install an app I wanted. I chose CM7.2. I presumed I wasn't rooted anymore after the OTA's, so used CWM to run the update.zip that I still had on the SD card from 2010. I did a Titanium backup. I started following the abbreviated directions, then went to the full directions here:http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Vibrant:_Full_Update_Guide
So I actually made two nandroid backups as a result of switching between the two sets of directions and getting distracted after I made the first one.
All went well, except after CM7.2 was booted and everything restored from Titanium, I had the following issues:
1. Messaging was broken
2. Most contacts were missing
3. GPS wouldn't lock
I poked around for fixes and tried some, but it was not looking promising. I decided I didn't really need that new app after all, and today tried to revert to stock. I supposed it would be a simple matter of a nandroid restore followed by a Titanium restore. Unfortunately the nandroid restore failed.
Research revealed this is a known issue with "different hboots".
I then compounded the issue by accidentally pressing the power button while in Recovery. The phone rebooted but stuck on the "Vibrant" splash screen, because of the corrupted restore attempt. No amount of 3-button resets got me back to Recovery. The phone is now connected to my laptop in Download mode.
I think what I now need to do is odin, per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13132341#post13132341
I will then be able to do a nandroid restore and Titanium restore and be back where I started? Any additional hints, warnings, etc?
Thanks in advance.
Be careful about what you backup with Titanium on stock and then restore on CM. Did you backup your Messaging app or any system data? If you restored system apps or data from a TI backup onto CM from stock, that could cause issues.
And about the contacts, where did you store them before? On Google, SIM, or in memory?
I may have clicked, in Titanium, "restore app and data" rather than just "data" for the messaging app. Thinking that may have been the case, I thought that reinstalling the ROM or Google apps zip files might fix it. It didn't. (this was before I soft-bricked)
Since I needed a working phone this afternoon, I went ahead and did the Odin thing. That went well. I am back to JFD and my contacts are back.
If I do a nandroid restore now, followed by a Titanium restore, it should get me back to where I was before starting the move to CM7.2, right? Except I would still have a JFD radio? (because nandroid does not touch that, as I recall)
In that case, finding a KA6 to install with odin would be best? And would there be any point to the nandroid restore if I did that?
GPS took a very long time to lock after going back to JFD, too. I think perhaps I need to try the antenna fix.
Maybe I will give CM7.2 another go...

If you do a nandroid restore you don't need to do a TI restore as nandroid will restore all your apps and data. (Even down to which wallpaper you're using and Wifi networks)
If the KA6 modem works best for you then go for it.

You don't need to be rooted, you just need a way to install. For example when you install from stock, you don't need to root it, only flash the custom kernel that has CWM, and then flash, since root is a state of the ROM.

Huh. Always thought you needed root to flash CWM.

Well, in our case we can use download mode + heimdall to flash a kernel that has the CWM recovery included.

Hello, I have a major problem with something that should have been a minor project. I used System Recovery to do a backup of the phone. The only thing I can think of there that I might have done differently is save the backup to the external SD card, instead of internal. After the backup completed, I went to reboot the phone and it's stuck on the Motorola splash screen. I tried to pull the battery and go into that general Android Recovery in order to wipe data and try again, but I just get the Android with an exclamation point over his head. I've tried booting it without the SD card too. I was using CM7
Can anyone help please!
EDIT: A couple hours later, since it was my work phone, I had to do something. I reverted the SBF, re-rooted and tried to restore from the backup I made and the same thing happened. I'm going to try to revert to my previous backup. I have a full backup from Titanium Backup if it comes down to it. The phone was working fine, I just can't figure out why it blew up on me after I ran the backup. Grr..

sounds like a bad backup. i always use external sd for nandroids and it has never had issues.i would just re-flash. as for stock recovery with andy with an exclamation , push both volume keys. should work regardless of what state the phone is in. i have had it completely unusable and it still worked.

OK - You mean to flash cleanly with CM7 and then restore from Titanium backup instead of my previous nandroid backup?
I'm slightly confused about that System Recovery tool, because first I had ROM Manager and it says that CWM is installed, but it doesn't work. Do I have to manually install that System Recovery APK each time I do stuff like this, or does it stay installed? And if so, from a powered off state, how do you enter it? Or do you have to boot up to Android and enter recovery mode from the app? Thanks.

yes i would try that. second, dont use rom manager. dont delete it either. but it doesnt work on our phone. the bootstrap recovery that you install would only need to be reinstalled if you delete cache in recovery. otherwise it should always work. hope this helps. im not completely sure exactly what you are asking.
try just restoring system part of backup, see if phone will boot, then restore user data
or reinstall cm7 and restore just user data

I should be fine now, thanks for the advice. I don't know why that backup blew up the phone, but it was sure an inconvenience haha! I just reflashed CM completely, and now I'm gonna roll out my Titanium backup. I don't have a lot of stuff, just the essential stuff for work, so it shouldn't take too long.
Hey.
I have an LG Optimus F7 and I recently rooted the device. After I installed ROM manager from Clockworrk, I pressed "Backup current ROM". I thought this would be to backup an image of my system that I could use for recovery if I were to run into trouble. It simply asked me for a name of the backup, and I entered the current date.
As soon as I hit "Ok", the phone automatically rebooted. When the phone turned on, I realized a whole system wipe had been performed. Is this supposed to happen?
Oddly enough, SU is still installed on my phone, but everything else is gone. All the apps, contacts, music. Everything.
Can I fix this somehow?

My advise would be to stop using Rom manager. it has not been stable in years. Other then that you could try to restore the back up if any.

Alright, I probably won't use it anymore. Is there anything else I can use to flash custom UI's onto my phone? The only reason I got clockwork mod was because I wanted to flash a windows phone UI onto my device.
The advice given wasn't to stop using clockwork, just stop using ROM manager which I wholeheartedly agree with.
Do your backups in recovery, do your wiping in recovery, do your flashes there as well. For the most part youll be just fine

As stated above. It is more Rom manager then the recovery (depending on the device). Always do everything from recovery. No UI works perfectly. And some recoveries have issues as well. Like my device, CWM has tons of issues flashing roms.
