So just a while ago i tried to download a Cyanogen Mod nightly off Rom Manager for my G2x and I backed up my stock rooted rom of course before going through with the wipes and everything and it seemed to have gone though very quick and when it booted back on all it did to my phone was wipe it and pretty much restore it. Now when I go try to Manage and Restore backups nothing is there! So in other words the Nightly didn't go through for some reason and for another weird reason my Backup I did right before isn't there and showing up either. I know it's there also because I checked under Linda File Manager and it's under my Clockwork Mod file. Any ideas or thoughts?
Try moving the backup from internal SD to external SD its in a file called clockworkmod
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
it's already in that folder. this isn't my first time flashing and backing up before and all but this is the first time I have on the G2x and the first time i've ever encountered a problem like this. is there something i'm supposed to do to make rom manager work completely? i remember i used to boot into recovery a couple weeks back and I wouldn't be able to properly navigate and choose what I wanted but then now when I randomly tried today it worked and i was able to boot into recovery perfectly through rom manager but for some reason my backup won't show up and now I'm a little scared lol
have you not tried search yet. If you did search then you would have found that Rom Manger does not work with the G2X you need to use the recovery flashed from NVflash to do backups. So you have to boot into recovery by holding down vol-d + power. If you have not flash recovery from NVflash then do not do the vol-d + power or you will hard reset your phone.

This morning, my Samsung Captivate would not boot. I used Odin 1-click to restore it back to a stock ROM. Then, I re-rooted the phone and attempted to use Clockwork ROM Manager to restore a backup from several weeks ago.
Clockwork seems to run ok. It sees my backup directory and attempts to load the backup. Then it asks if I want to reboot the phone and restore the backup. When I do, it goes directly into manual recovery mode and the backup is not restored.
What am I doing wrong?
Can you boot the phone into recovery then select backup/restore and find your backup in that list? then restore it from there. I always boot into recovery then do whatever i want from there.
Recovery doesn't give me a backup/restore option. Only Reboot, Reinstall files, etc. I thought that it was only Clockwork that has the backup/restore option?
Wait a sec. you went back to a stock rom then rerooted? did it unroot on u? some of the one click roots will unroot you phone if ran while phone is already rooted. kinda a click on click off thing. If you unrooted the phone then it would not let you do a restore. You can do a full factory reset> install clockworkmod,boot into recover and restore backup. just an idea
No, the phone is definitely rooted. The problems I'm having seem to be with Clockwork. I couldn't get clockwork 2.5.1.2 to ever restore, so I downgraded it to 2.5.1.1. I was able to restore, but when I did, I got a whole series of processes with FC loops. It appears that Clockwork did something wrong when it restored my backup.
I finally did the Odin 1 click again, and gave up on restoring. At this point, I'll just re-install everything. I'm disappointed with Clockwork. I would like to find a ROM manager that's more dependable.

I just ran into this with my phone..took me quite a while to figure out what I had done wrong.
I had Perception 10.2 ROM on my phone, with Voodoo Lag fix. Today, I decided to try out the official 2.2. release for the Captivate, so I made a Clockwork backup, did an Odin 1-Click back to stock, and installed 2.2. I decided I liked Perception better, so I tried to recover it.
I did another Odin back to original stock, then loaded Clockword and tried to recover my backup. It acted like it worked, unpacking everything, but then booted back to manual recovery mode, and got into an endless loop.
What I wound up doing was running another Odin back to stock, reinstalling the Perception ROM, and THEN restoring with Clockwork. The problem appeared to have been with the Voodoo Lag Fix, which uses a different filesystem.
So, try reinstalling the ROM you made the backup with FIRST, then do your recovery. Good luck!
The rom I was restoring was the same one that I already had on my phone. I think the problem might be this:
I originally had 2.1.1 which was rooted and had one-click-lag-fix installed. When my phone was borked, I used Odin to flash back the same rom. But I think the problem may have been caused because I didn't install OCLF again before I did the restore. I'm not sure, but I have a guess that it might have worked had done that.
I have just rooted my phone recently on my Droid X using Z4root and it worked fine. Then I backed up my phone using Titanium Backup, which also worked fine also. Then I installed ROM Manager and then flashed ClockworkMod Recovery within ROM Manager. When I click on Backup Current ROM the phone reboots fully without going into recovery. So I open ROM Manager and click "Manage and Restore Backups" and there is no file there.
I tried clicking "Reboot into Recovery" to see if I could select it there and the phone just reboots back to android without going into recovery. So then I turned off my phone and held down the home+power to go into recovery which works. When I'm there it doesn't have an option to backup my ROM. I don't want to flash this ROM I want to try until I can backup my current stock ROM, in case something goes wrong.
When at the blue recovery screen I notice at the bottom in yellow a message is displayed "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command. Wondering if this is my issue. I also notice in recovery it gives me an option to "apply sdcard:update.zip" but I don't see an update.zip on my sd card, so I'm not sure if I should select this before being able to backup my stock ROM. I'm afraid to flash the ROM before knowing this current problem. Can anyone help me with this issue? I am new to the whole root and ROM hacks, but have been researching in depth and taking all precautions so I'm trying hard not to brick my phone. Thanx in advance.
First off update.zip is just an update.zip package. Could be anything thats an update and can be flashed. Yeah...not sure why rom manager doesnt work for you but all the same your better off doing it from recovery anyway. You can make backups in recovery you don't need rom manager just use rom manager to manage your backups it will see them no matter what! It will allow you to rename them as well so they are easily identifiable also. If your rom manager works youll be able to name the backup before hand! If you ask me rom manager doesnt update the roms fast enough anyway they are usually like 2 days behind! Good tool either way but not so good at replacing roms as recovery does a better job. I have never had one problem using recovery but I've had a problem every time I try to flash a rom using rom manager!
Okay I figured out that the ClockworkMod Recovery must not have flashed properly or something bc I was just at the dev's site and the picture of the recovery is different than mine bc it's green and has many more options to choose from. Plus it says ClockworkMod Recovery on the recovery screen and mine doesn't. It's blue and says android recovery at the top. When I open the ROM Manager it says that I have the ClockworkMod Recovery but I don't. I even tried reflashing but it didn't work either. So how do I get the ClockworkMod Recovery to flash correctly?
I am having same problem but I just use bootstaper and it works fine
I tried downloading the bootstrap from the creator of ClockworkMod Recovery but the link seems to be broken. What bootstrap are u using?
I found the bootstrap for the Droid X on the market and that fixed the issue I was having. Wish I would have known from all the other posts/articles I read that it was a requirement for the Droid X to have the bootstrap to run recovery
I rooted my HTC Desire CDMA from USCC okay, flashed a Froyo ROM with USCC stuff, and everything was okay. I made a nandroid backup, flashed CyanogenMod 7 RC4 and it seem to work okay, except I was having trouble entering my password when checking voice mail. Anyway, I decided to go back to Froyo. I used ROM Manager to restore the backup and got into ClockworkMod. However, none of the options work. If I go down to recovery, I go to the next screen, but no matter which option I select I end up with a black screen and nothing happens! I can't restore my backup! If I just try to press power on, I end up with the blue CyanogenMod screen and the arrow just goes round and round. Nothing happens. Please, if anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
I remember hearing that because CM7 is a Gingerbread mod, it must use ClockworkMod v3 and to go back to your Froyo backup you'll need to downgrade to Clockwork Recovery 2.x. I'm not sure if things has changed, though, this was what I read a month or two ago.
Are you by any chance able to fastboot?
Reflash your CWM (if you are using NAND version) or get it again on your SD (if your are using SD version).
The problem is I can't do anything in ClockworkMod (version 2.5). Every option I select gives me a blank screen! I made a nandroid backup before flashing CyanogenMod, but I have no way of getting to my backup if I can't use ClockworkMod. Also, if I try to boot the phone, i just get the CyanogenMod 7 startup screen with the arrow going round and round. It will still be there 30 minutes later. I have to do a battery pull to start over with anything.
I was able to boot my phone after wiping all user data. I would like to use my nandroid backup to return to the previous ROM, but clockworkmod doesn't seem to work. I tried reflashing it in ROM manager and it only downloads a second or so and isn't really doing anything. I'm wondering if clockworkmod is defective. Is there any other way to flash it again without using ROM Manager?
If you are able to fastboot, you could try to restore a nandroid by flashing three files (boot.img, system.img, data.img) from your nandroid backup using:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
Disclaimer: I've not actually tried this procedure before! I got this info from here
You could use a similar procedure to flash a new ClockworkMod since your recovery may be corrupted: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-vision.img
You can download the image from Koush's website, under HTC G2.
This happened to me yesterday trying out the Alpha Build for the Fascinate. I was getting a dev block error and datadata would not mount. I had to go back to stock on heimdall. I don't know if this helps for your phone, but maybe somone with more knowledge can tell you if this may be happing to you and what the fix is, if that's not a fix for you.
Hello, I'm new to the forums and I feel bad I'm already screwing things up :/
Anyway on to the problem... I've had CM9 running on my phone for about two weeks now but I wanted to get rid of the rainbows in CWM and at boot. Today I downloaded Rom Manager from the market place, and when I ran it, it prompted me to install CWM recovery to my SD card, although I already had it installed I thought I'd give it a try. Bad idea, now I can't leave recovery mode, my phone will continually reboot into recovery, I've tried wiping all data and clean installing CM9 again and still nothing. I've even tried the exitrecovery.zip script to no avail
Any suggestions or ideas on how to fix it and boot into my ROM again?
Thanks!!
I would venture to say you might have to reflash...or start over from stock...
i would reload stock....then reload ics or the rom of your choice...
Thanks a lot! Worked like a charm, I used Odin and flashed factory stock 2.2.1, now I'm off to getting ICS back.
Thanks again!
Does anyone know why this happens? I've noticed that anytime I open CWM and choose the boot to recovery option is when I get stuck with CWM Recovery looping. I then have to go back to stock and start over again.
I'm not entirely sure why it happens, my guess was that it puts up a bad flag not compatible with ICS that keeps it from booting that, that was why I tired the exitrecovery script, I looked through it and it appeared to me to change a flag for booting. I'm not sure why it happens but I'd say just use the reboot to recovery option that the ROM provides in the shutdown menu, I know that always works.
Alright so my G2x was working fine last night. I flashed it using ROM Manager (BIG Mistake), and I booted into the recovery and installed the EaglesBlood Gingerbread file. I first wiped the data and then wiped the cache and then wipe the dav cache and then installed the Gingerbread file. It worked so then the phone rebooted and the new LG logo popped up and it froze. I left it for 10 mins and then I did a battery pull and booted into recovery. It was the stock so I couldn't do anything. The power button wouldn't press anything. So I then used NVFlash to restore everything and nothing worked. Now it won't go into the recovery. It just boots up into a White LG Logo and stays there forever. I've tried MANY MANY threads and guides. Please someone help me with this.
Flash CWM via NVFlash then flash your desired ROM.
NVFlash with CWM in one easy package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566681
will that only wok with xp? I have an xp computer and I installed the drivers but now it won't read it anymore. Will it work with windows 7?
anyone? Someone please help me.
NvFlash is possible on Windows 7 also, just take out the battery, hold both volume buttons down and connect the phone to the pc if you don't have the APX drivers installed it should say unknown device then just point it to wherever you downloaded and extracted the drivers to then after it recognizes the device open the OneClickRecovery and choose which one to you want flash

Alright I got the clockwordmod Recovery v5.0.2.0 touch on my lg. Im on it now but I don't have a backup to restore from. Any ideas on what to do now? I don't care if I have to reset the phone back to factory state and lose everything.
Nandroid of 2.3.3 unrooted stock ROM unzip it and move the folder to your CWM backup folder

Alright I'll try that and I will get back to you. What steps should I do to install the backup? Like should I format anything or wipe before?
Download the zip, extract the folder to your ClockWorkMod/backup folder then just select that folder when you're doing the restore feature in CWM
- Make sure when you extract the zip it doesn't make a V21E folder inside a V21E folder then the data, I archived it on Windows and selecting the "extract here" option makes only one folder but it looks like the android file explorers will make another V21E folder due to the archive being V21E.zip
Im having troubles even reaching the recovery menu now. Everytime I try to get to it, it gives me S/W Upgrade screen.
EDIT: Nevermind I got it now, so now its restoring the system. I guess we wait.
Alright the restore is now done. Do I just reboot the system? Also is it possible for you give me the 2.2.2 version of the restore? I can't find it anywhere on google.
UPDATE: Alright I have everything working now, and now I can finally use my phone again. SOOOOOO HAPPPY Thank you soo much.
