Dear XDA members.
I am using Amonra 2.2.1b, then i wanna to use CWM 3.1.0.0, but i don't know can CWM work with a Backed up made by Amonra.
Have anyone can help me explain this.
Many thanks for interesting in.
No. If you back up with amon you can only restore that backup with amon. Same with clockwork. If you back up with clockwork you can only restore that with clockwork.

Btw. I recommend staying on amon from what I have heard clockwork hasn't been wiping phones correctly and causing problems...

I'm fairly new to rooting and I have the basic idea down. My only quesiton is once I flash a kernal that has CWM and root and then install a rom with CWM (assuming I got that part right) if I decide I want to go back completely stock is all I have to do flash a stock version of this phone through odin? Thanks in advance

You got it. Wish it was harder but its' that easy. You can find the stock unrooted version in the dev forum. Happy rooting.
Thanks!

To do a full restore on gingerbread just flash a bali kernel with voodoo. Then after the flash reboot recovery then restore your nandroid
EDIT: may also help on soft bricking gingerbread as long as you have gingerbread bootloaders. As you can restore to a nandroid.

I used the voodoo recovery all i did was flash the kernel bali 3.3,then immediately boot back into recovery, then fully restored my backup. I would make a video but i dont have a youtube account maybe dsexton or raverx3x could make a video for it.

Works with GB, just tested.
First made backup, of course.
Then flashed Bali 3.3
Rebooted to recovery
Restored backup of GB
Rebooted to recovery
Flashed KG4 cwm kernel
thanks for the find, makes flashing pain free again!

Glad I scrolled through and found this...
ICBINB KH2 left me with the vanishing SD card, i was looking for a fix for that problem when I found this... at least I should be able to get back on Black Ice for now.
Followed the steps, so no clue what happened, but it did... and I couldn't get my compie to recognize the phone to Odin back like I usually would... Recovery wouldn't come up like usual either...
One 5 second read here and I'm back on Bali 3.3, and restoring my last Ice nand...
(fingers crossed, but should be good to go!)
Isn't the real question for gb "how to do a full backup?"

cnote thanks for the find. Life just got a whole lot simpler!
so does Gingerbread actually run with the Bali 3.3 kernel then?
or is it just so you can use the recovery console, and you never actually boot the phone? so you would need to immediately flash a GB kernel after this?

You need to flash kg4 cwm kernel after restoring your GB nandroid. If restoring froyo, I always reflash Bali after restore. All this done in recovery. Don't let the phone boot up until you reflashed the kernel.

Yeah, I thought GB doesn't mount the system, so a GB NAND backup can't be made.
@Somairotevoli: Did you flash Bali 3.3 first, then create a backup of GB? I'm so confused on this.
Hey, sorry if this is a noob question, but I installed the Infuse CM7 ROM on my phone a few days ago. Now that there is an update out, how am I supposed to update my ROM without losing my data?
Just download the update and boot into cwm and flash...you don't have to wipe anything just flash over the current cm7 your running

Hey im new to atrix 2 because i had nexus one and samsung infuse in the past and there flashing instructions where easy but for me this seams complicated. So far i rooted my Atrix 2 and ive installed bootstrap. MY goal is to install this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584505 but im not sure what to do because i was reading different threads and some people say you need cwm on boot others say you do some other stuff.... Can someone expierienced give me step by step instructions of what to do next thank you.
Sonya comes with cwm on boot. Just download the zip and extract it to the cwm folder on your sd card, then do a full wipe, and then restore it.

I always do a nandroid before switching roms just to be safe.

Have you ever installed the rom?

Every time you reboot it automatically goes into cwm.

Then to get into rom all you have to do is press reboot from the recovery?
Yes. We don't have a way to actually flash an alternate recovery image, so doing it this way helps prevent softbricks.
