one click root

I used the one click root method and installed rom manager. from rom manager, I flash clockworkmod recovery, but when I tried to backup current rom. I got an error. Now I'm a bit worried to try installing any roms if I cant backup properly. Whats going on?

pretty sure the ROM manager flash recovery only puts the update.zip on your sd care. you can search dev forum (this should be in general btw) and do one click clockwork so you can boot to it from rom manager. otherwise you can boot to stock recovery and flash the update.zip on your sd to boot clockwork, then you can backup and stuff. but you will need the one click to boot to CWM from rom manager.

wat?
sorry, I had a hard time following, could you elaborate please?

Problems restoring backup with clockwork

Everytime I try and restore a backup from cwm the phone reboots to the first mytouch boot screen and just stays there. Is there something I'm missing on how to restore a backup? I'm using cwm 3.0.0.5, I make a backup, then when I want to restore it, I wipe data and cache and hit restore backup. Once it's finished, I reboot the phone, then it just sits on the boot screen until I eventually decide to pull the battery.

Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5 will work only with 2.3 (gingerbread ROMs).
Since the stock ROM is 2.2.1 you need to use recovery image 2.x.
you are in luck though. re-Flash CM7 download Clockwork ROM Manager scroll to the bottom "All clockwork recoveries" and flash the highest 2.x version they have. Then you can restore your back up without problems.

Thanks, I actually found that exact answer about 10 minutes after I posted this. I did just that, flashed cm7 then flashed cwm 2.x. I wanted to try cm7 anyway, but after an hour just trying to get the market to work, I decided to just go back to good old iced glacier.

I bet you didn't flash gapps or the newer version of it. That's why you couldn't get the market to work.

I have no idea what I did, but eventually I got it all worked out. I'm now a very happy cm7 rc1 user with a 1.84GHz smartass kernel.

Glad it worked out for you, but you (and others who may have this problem) could save yourselves a lot of this by downloading TrueBlue's zip (from development sub-forum) and flash it. It has cwm 3.0.0.6 plus stock TMO recovery.
With CM 3.0.0.6 recovery (thanks to Option94 for that), you can backup/restore both Android 2.2.x (CM6) and 2.3.x (CM7). TrueBlue's thread OP gives you instructions on how to use it.
It is a modified ROM Manager that "disguises" cwm's 3.0.0.6 and the stock Recovery as cwm 3.0.0.5 and 2.5.1.4 respectively.
PS - if you use it - don't forget to "thank" him (and Option94 also).
UPdate - if you subsequently update ROM Manager, it does not wipe out the above scheme with the disguised cwm's - it still works the same (at least through ROM Manager 3.0.1.0).

Ignore all those BS. Go in Market and download Rom Manager 3.0.1.0 and then flash the latest 3.0.0.5 (orange) recovery image. Then place the GAPP anywhere in your SDCard long as you know where it is. Reboot it in to recovery but selecting it from Rom Manager and then when its booted select Install zip from SDCard> Choose zip from SDCard.
Flash the GApp.zip and be done. Just remember when you flash NB via full wipe you have to flash GApp.zip everytime but if you just mount new NB on top of old one then DO NOT flash GApp.zip again as it will still be on your device as it ment to be installed once in that case.

No you didn't do what I said then. Go to Market> Rom Manager (3.0.1.0)> Download/Install. Then run Rom Manager and flash 3.0.0.5(latest not 2.5.1.2/2.5.1.4). If you use 3.0.0.5 you don't have to worry about 3.x(orange) or 2.x(green) as you can run 2.2/2.3 based without changing it.
3.0.0.5 < not Rom Manager its Recovery.
3.0.1.0 < ver of Rom Manager with 3.0.0.5 Recovery frame.
Problem is for people who don't know it get confusing as 3.0.0.5 could mean Recovery and Rom Manager. As normally other software specify and have different type of scheme for framework and software but in this case they both share same number so it gets little confusing.

ok i installed 3.0.1.0 rom manager from market so now i should have no issues when restoring 2.2.1 roms or 2.3 roms?thanks for the help man im coming from a Vibrant that was lost/stolen..that vibrant was so easy to root lol.thanks again

Well if you flashed 3.0.0.5 Recovery then no you won't have to worry about Green(2.x EXT3) or Orange(3.x EXT4) as you can flash both.

[Q] clockwork mod

do you need clockwork mod recovery for rom manager on the evo 4g

Yes, you need a recovery. Although you can flash ROM's through ROM manager, it is not recommended. You also need recovery in case you get stuck in a bootloop. It will allow you to restore to your nandroid backups. There are also mods and hacks that can only be installed through recovery.

thanks but i have ra recovery right now its says i need clockwork to use roms on rom manager do i have to use clockwork?

Oh, well then no. As long as you have some form of custom recovery you are good to go.

custom recovery problem

i have nexus s 4.0.4 im already root it but when install custom recovery drom rom manager its work but after reboot its gone how can i dix that

and i have a question can i install a rom with a stock recovery

You'll need a custom recovery to install a ROM. Follow these instructions and you'll be good to go:

Delete or rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and flash CWM one last time. It'll stick. Each boot, stock ROMs reflash the stock recovery unless you delete/rename that file.

There's no official ICS/JB for this device, so yes, if you want ICS/JB you need to flash a custom ROM. You don't need to flash inspiremod, but if you do, you need to flash it after you flash the ROM, not before. It basically makes a few minor changes to convert a ROM from a Desire HD ROM to an Inspire 4G ROM, like branding and sound files. If you don't have a recovery and you're already rooted, you need to install one. You can install them from apps, choose the one you want: ROM Manager for ClockworkMod, 4ext updater (apk from the 4ext website) for 4ext, GooManager for TWRP. Then once you have a recovery, full wipe (system, data, cache) from recovery, then flash the ROM, then gapps if you need it (check the OP of the ROM thread), then inspiremod if you want it.
I should also note that all this information is easily found by searching on the forums. I'm just typing it all out because I'm feeling generous this morning. But here on XDA you are generally expected to search and read and learn for yourself.
