I'm REALLY REALLY new at this so if this is a stupid question please go easy on me
Okay, so I'm interested in flashing some roms for my XT720, but I don't want to have to go through the hassle of downloading the apps/tweaking the settings whenever I flash back to the stock 2.1 rom. I've tried Rom Manager, but it's not compatible with the XT720 (right)
Any ideas on how to do so?
--------------UPDATE---------------
Okay, so I found that OpenRecovery is able to do a nandroid backup for the XT720. However, whenever I try to do a backup, it gets an error, saying 'failed to dump...'
Can anyone help?
install openrecovery
use nand-restore/bsckup

hello,
during the restore with clockworthmod recovery, the phone hangs up.
now is the system damage and no boot the phone. bootloader and menu for hard-reset(X+power works).
i need a sbf file for the european milestone 2 with motoa953 chipset for flashing with rsd lite.
gives a update.zip for the sdcard with clockworthmod revory to start from the menu "apply sdcard update.zip) with verifying
many thanks
try data wipe/factory reset and wipe cache in the clockwork or stock recovery..might fix the problem.

this only delete cache and data. during the restore with clockworthmod, the system is erasing and then copied the system from backup. and in copy mode the sdcard hangs and now is the systems files all erased an the phone doesn´t boot:-(

Look on the forums and see how to sbf, that should fix the problem. And if not, you "bricked" it..if you can get into the stock recovery by holding the x button down and it comes up and what not then its salvageable but if all you get is the motorola m then it might be toast. Give sbf'ing a try.
Edit: Sorry I didn't really read your original post, sorry, you know how to sbf but don't have the file..I couldn't tell you where to get that...go to androidforums.com or droidlife.com and maybe someone can help over there because obviously im the only one responding...

The problem is, the milestone 2 have another chipset (a953) like droid2. Rsd lite says: firmware is not compatible with this phone. On recovery mode with update.zip can i only flash original firmware (verifization).
Today i go in the vodafone shop, the phone is only 1 week old.
Can i create a working sbf file from my clockworthmod* .img? I have many complete backups on my sdcard.
Or how can i make a sbf file from the system of another milestone 2. This would i flash into my ms2 with rsdlite

@Rennert,
How did you get the Clockwork recovery installed on the Milestone 2 (A953) ?
I have the same phone myself but I've not found any information on how to proceed. I've rooted permanently with the z4root-app but that is about it.
I stumbled on this one (similar) to the one above when looking up bootstrapping the Milestone 2

Dunno if it helps (sorry as I'm a lurker I have to HXXP).

With Droid X/2 recovery Bootstrap you can install ClockworkMod v2.5.0.8.
Edit: Please read instructions before you try the application.
Thx,
Installed ClockworkMod recovery with Droid 2 Bootdtrap. Not sure if there is any joy out of it as there are no ROMs around yet... nandroid backups works well though.

For now only backup just in case.
I am doing some tests and hoping that if something goes wrong I can restore my phone with that backup.
Edit: Droid Overclock can be useful for example to change some Build Props(Dalvik VM, Max EVTs, etc)

Hi guys,
I installed the Android Revolution rom for my HTC Desire HD this morning, just to test it. Works great, but, I want to remove it and get back to my original HTC rom. However, when I try to restore the backup with the Rom Manager the phone will boot and get stuck at the HTC bootloader (the HTC image). Also I tried different options when I did a hard reset, but nothing seems to work.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Dirk
There have been some problems with the latest version of Clockworkmod recovery. If this is what you have been using it it may be worth trying a previous version of it and then trying your backup restore again.
Thnx for the reply!
I used Rom Manager for backup and restore. From the author Clockworkmod. Is that the same?
Why not flash a stock rom and push it to sdcard to flash?

I am looking for a stock but can't find it. I was hoping there was a nice way to just remove the custom rom and restore my old backup.
Look for instructions on how to flash Odin.
Odin is only for Samsung?
RESOLVED!
I flashed cm7, but not without making a nandroid of the stock rom. I tried restoring the backup and it would not make it to the boot animation. No errors or anything, same version of clockwork as before.
The only thing I didn't try was advanced restore. Would that do anything differently?

Being that you flashed CM7, and having troubles going back to 2.2.x you must be using 3.0.0.5 as a recovery image. You need 3.0.0.6, or a 2.x recovery image.
This thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986522] will help explain the ins and outs and how to flash 3.0.0.6.
Hey! I figured it out! And this should apply to all of us with mytouch 4gs.
The issue was that i was on clockwork 3.0.0.5, which i was on even when i backed up the stock rom. 3.0.0.5 allows for gingerbread flashing, but not froyo. So if you experience an issue like this, downgrade to 2.5.1.2 in rom manager and try recovering - lucky for me, even nandroids made in 3.0.0.5 were compatible with 2.5.1.2

That's what the thread i posted earlier explained. and showed you how to fix. It's sticked in the Q&A section.
What a breakthrough that was...I better write that down.
Does anyone know what the backup would be named if I used the Fission ROM manager? I have a file named D2_Global_OEM. I'm assuming this is it.
To flash out of Fission, is it really just selecting this backup from clockwork recovery?

Where are you seeing that title for the files? When I go into clockwork recovery on my phone and get to the restore section I see 2 options, one backup I made when rooting and another when I put fission on. Both are identified entirely by the date and time at which I made them. E.g. the fission one is 2011-04-08.00.59.32 Saying that at 12:59 am on april 4th I backed up. Can you get into clockwork recovery mod and identify the backup by the date/time it was made at? I think that would be easiest.

This is the stock rom rooted and deodexed.
I have a problem now with this rom, when I try to flash from fission to this one using frm, it successfully flashes but hangs on the accessing server screen for verizon backup.
I don't want to sbf the stock rom but it looks like I may be forced to.

Rooted & running Fission ROM.
*** FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. ***
When you flash the Droid 2 Global full sbf you may get a boot loop. Boot into stock recovery and press the magnifying glass button. Then,
WIPE ALL DATA AND CACHE,
FACTORY RESET...
This should resolve the bootloop issue after SUCCESSFULL flash of full stock sbf with rsdlight 4.9

Hello, my cwm (by the way running cm7) says when I try to restore my backup it says error flashing boot image. Does anyone know how I can get around this? Yes I looked on google, and it was not helpful. Anyone else is free to post there cwm problems here too if they want.
Are you trying to restore CM7 or another rom I think if you backed it up with red cwm then you need to restore with red or blue with blue not sure what you are trying to restore
If running cm7 and trying to reboot lets say s7 u have to flash s7 normal to get cwm red then restore that's what I've had to do and then it works fine.
