I've been using this on the HTC salsa since it come out on the UK market, we use v4.0.1.4-quilong recovery setup.
Ive backed up several images of my stock ROM so i can try out a custom ROM, now i would like to revert back and the CWM will not restore the image. it says nothing found in directory.
How is this possible when this recovery made the images in the first place, and its doing this on all my backups. not been able to try another image as theres only 1 other person with it.
is there a specific way as i didn't have this problem on the Xperia X8 i own.
Did you upgrade to CWM 5.X.X? Anything over version 5 you can't use old images with. If this is the case, you need to downgrade to restore those older images.
This is the only cwm recovery usable with this handset so far.

Just to make sure, you're booting into CWM and then going into nandroid, right?
I can either reboot into recovery menu from phone on or whip battery out and use volume key and boot into there from boot screen. From the cwm recovery screen I goto backup and restore. I've made 3 backups and non will restore from there. The HTC salsa section in xda will show the cwm recovery menu structure we use. Haven't found any other cwm that will work on this handset yet.

Cwm manager does not work with my HTC salsa either, not listed in device list :-(

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?
Is it possible to backup roms and restore them with clockwork recovery? I just rooted and installed cw probably a weekago. I downloaded and flashed "energy rom" I didn't like it because imo it had slightly less battery life so i tried to restore my backup of the stock rom but instead of it working right after it got stuck at the htc logo boot screen. I had to download stock which found out I needed a computer to even get stock back. So my question about can I backup and restore at least stock rom without needing to use that ruu file?

you can always restore your backups via recovery, as long as your backed up before you flashed whatever you do not want anymore. be sure to back up before you flash anything your not sure of.
Ok thanks for the reply. I know you can restore backups i've done it on my myTouch 4G and g2x. Problem was that I didn't like the rom I flashed tried to go back to stock from my backup and i got stuck at the htc bootscreen.

And since to get stock back I needed to download the ruu file on my computer so i wasn't sure if that was the only way.

You can always wipe and reflash whatever rom you choose without any back ups also.

Do you mean 4EXT recovery? ext4 is the name of a filesystem type.
If you do, then I am pretty sure that the NANDROID backups created by 4EXT are absolutely identical to those created with CWM, so you should be fine.
This especially, seeing as 4EXT backups still go into /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups
So - make sure when you copy your CWM backup back onto the phone, it goes into that folder, or 4EXT won't be able to find it to do the restore.
Of course you can
yes i mean 4EXT. Now i know thanks a lot.

I recently tried to put my phone back to the stock Vodafone ROM that I backed up in CWM when I first rooted and the MD5 failed, so 4EXT wouldn't flash it. I'm going to have to read up on another method to get it back to stock incase it needs to go back as it's getting a bit unreliable lately. Sometimes people are trying to call me and getting a 'not available' message even though I am at home and my phone displays a full signal.
I upgraded the SD since though so I am blaming the transfer of the file between the two, NOT 4EXT.
Hey there, I have a rooted HTC Sensation. I recently installed CM9 on my phone, before doing that however I made a backup of my stock ROM using Clockworkmod touch which I flashed using a fastboot command, I then wiped and installed CM9. I installed ROM manager after and pressed the button to install CMW to see if there was any updates, instead of updating it downgraded my CWM to a non touch version. I have made backups of CM9 using the non touch based CWM, my question is that will my older version of CWM restore a backup that was created from a newer CWM? Or... if I reflash a Clockworkmod touch recovery again, would I be able to access my original stock ROM and my CM9 ROM as well?
Many thanks
Jake
First of all, this is a question and therefore should be asked in the Q&A section. Regarding your question, I would go ahead and flash 4Ext touch. It is fully compatible with CWM backups, and touch-enabled.
I agree with above post, install 4ext recovery, it's a great recovery and very easy to use. It has many features! You won't regret installing it. You can get the download here on xda or even download it from the play store! It's the best recovery I've ever used! It will make things easier for you. Also I believe some roms require 4ext. Recovery. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

I have unlocked my bootloader, and I would like to root my phone. However, I have heard you have to install clockwork mod custom recovery which simply replaces the HTC recovery mode. If I ever want to restore my phone to sell it in the near future and relock bootloader etc. how do I backup this HTC recovery mode? Also once clockwork mod recovery is installed what do I do next to actually make the root?
