If you have 4EXT recovery, use the power menu to restart into recovery and then select backup option.
If you have 4 EXT recovery control then you should be able to start a backup from a running phone, by selecting recovery, then manage backups and then create

When you say backup....you should have a series of files? within a directory?
please list all files and sizes
ah ok, i found it - it was written by 4ext at clockworkmod/backup/date-vers-rom/ with a lot of files (.img, md5 sum etc).
but what is the 2011-11-15-18.11_recovery.img file (5mb small) @ sd-root?! - mmh

That is a self made backup (by the 4ext control app) made previously to the last time you upgraded your actual recovery, its a backup of the last recovery made in case new one has issues.
You could restore that using "fastboot flash <filename.img> recovery" if you wanted.

Stock Nandroid Restores for 2.22 Froyo and 2.33/2.34 GingerBreadfor T-Mobile G2x LG P999 only!
(These Nandroid restores are not rooted and are in complete stock condition.)
Instructions:
1. You must have ROM Manager installed and or ClockworkMod Recovery flashed and an external sdcard installed. Then have the directory and file contents of the "LG-P999-V10f.zip" or "LG-P999-V20e.zip" file extracted to your external SDCard in the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/LG-P999-V10f directory. If the directory does not exist then create it.
There must be a directory called "LG-P999-V10f" or "LG-P999-V21e" or "LG-P999-V21y" in the "/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup" subdirectory and the files must be directly in that directory, not in another nested directory or Nandroid will not find the files. (Note: If you have any spaces in your directory name. You will get a md5 check some error.)
2. Run ROM Manager and choose Reboot into Recovery or boot phone into clockworkmod recovery.
3. In recovery go down to backup and restore, choose restore.
4. Select LG-P999-V10f or LG-P999-V21e or LG-P999-V21y and choose Yes - Restore.
5. When the restore finishes do not reboot yet. Do a "wipe data/factory reset" from the recovery menu (just to be thorough).
6. When it completes choose Reboot.

Just to clarify a bit. Drop the folder into clockworkmod/backup/ on your SD card. Made no sense when I first looked at the file path.
Tried this as a restore since my connectivity still sucks. I am getting a MD5 miss match. . . . What ever that means, I have no idea.

Getting Started Modding Your T-Mobile G2x
This is a Tutorial to assist new users on how to get up and going on a new ROM.
This tutorial is all based on you having a PC and an x64 or x86 based OS.
Please do not ask questions as I will not be supporting this tutorial. Post questions in G2x Q&A or the following linked XDA threads (Read instructions first please in the below linked threads).
Please follow the below steps in order.
Step 1
Root your Phone (for Froyo 2.2.2 only, or you can just skip this step and go to Step 2 if you intend on flashing a ROM straight off):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039985
Step 2
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery via NvFlash (You can use ROM Manager to install ROMS but CWM is not persistant unless you NvFlash it.):
1. Use the One-Click NvFlasher to flash the Clockwork Mod Recovery of your choosing (external or internal supported SD card)(Which will be persistent at bootup).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
2. In your O/S install ROM Manager and once again choose to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery (which will NOT be persistent at bootup, but you can get to it through the O/S only using ROM Manager).
(You can use ROM Manager to flash ROMS / Download ROMS and Flash. And Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery using NvFlash
so you will also have the security that if your phone freezes or gets in a boot loop you can get to recovery through using the key press method.
Flashing CWM from ROM Manager will not allow you to get to recovery using the boot up button press method. It's a Tegra 2 chipset thing!)
Note: Mounting SD to your PC and ext4 support only works by booting to the NvFlashed CWN recovery and not going through ROM Managers CWM recovery. Are you confused? Hope not!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So Basically, I use ROM Manager to update my CM7 nightly build and I use the recovery that gets fake flashed by ROM Manager.
I have the NvFlashed Recovery standing by when i want to do a Nandroid Backup/Restore or want to flash roms that are not in ROM Manager or Mount my SD Card from recovery, recover from a bad flashed ROM, etc...
Step3
Perform a Titanium Backup or My Backup Pro of your Phone (you can skip this step if you prefer, and go to Step 4.):
1. Install Titanium Backup or My Backup Pro from Android Market.
2. Backup all of your apps.
3. Copy the "Titanium Backup" Directory from your internal SDCard to your External SDCard.
Step4
Perform a Nandroid Backup of your Phone (Optional but suggested before you flash any ROM or make any O/S changes):
1. Bootup to NvFlashed Clockwork Recovery using the button method.
2. Choose backup/restore and run a backup.
3. This will save the backup to your internal or external SD Card depending on which version of CWM you selected in the One-Click App.
Step 5
Download a ROM and place it on the SDCard that you have ClockworkMod Recovery support for (see step2 link) and flash the ROM by booting into ClockworkMod Recovery using the button press method:

Before backing up via Titanium, you can also just change your "backup folder name" to "_ExternalSD/TitaniumBackup" in the preferences. That should store everything on your SD card and save you a copy

When I do a Nandroid back up, should I sync google account to bring back all the apps first or can i just do a nandroid backup with having to sign in.
The reason I ask is because I just got my SD card and would like to do a Nandroid before flashing CM7.

Nice guide gunnman.. Hopefully this will help those with questions that can be answered with this thread..
Is ROOT needed before the Clockwork nvflash? Reason I ask is the steps I took were:
1) Boot Stock Recovery to bring device back to stock.
2) nvFlash Clockwork
3) Nandroid backup
My feeling is if I need to get back to stock / exchange my device I restore that backup and then nvFlash stock recovery.
Opinions?
look at step 1 which is root

When you're at that screen press the return arrow button on the phone and it should take you to the sd card directory. I was confused when I got to that part too.
Am I allowed to do step 3 first instead of step 2? because I rooted and backed up and everything with Titanium Backup but I havn't NvFlashed yet. thanks.

can i put all backup stuff on one microsd and take it out and only use it when needed? i'm guessing i can, but just want to make sure that if something happens to the phone and needed a restore, i can just put the microsd with the backups into the phone and do a restore from there.

hi
wanted to know how to change recovery from my current clockwork to 4ext??? also would backups taken with clockwork work with 4ext????
Yes backups will be taken.
Download 4ext control app (paid) or free 4ext updater
Choose online install. Select the recovery version you want (touch,classic)
Select install.
Done. Your backups will still work too.

3) In recovery, wipe your phone.
4) Install the ROM you want to have in boot manager.
5) Boot it once.
6) Reboot in recovery and backup your installed ROM again.
7) Restore your previous ROM using recovery
8) Boot into your ROM and load Boot Manager
9) Find an empty slot, click Manage Slot and click "Restore Nandroid"
10) Pick the ROM you backed up before from /clockworkmod/Backups
Done
It's a PITA, but it's the only way i could install ROM's such as the new Sense 4 ports.

it probably wont work w/any recovery if it really does have an md5 mismatch.

use anyone of these three, just get the zip version and install to both internal and external sdcards just to make your recovery can mount either scdard to install it

Not in this case, I know a rename will cause mismatch, but more specifically spaces. I know some users renamed with spaces and couldn't restore until they removed spaces.
Given this is not the case, it seems the backup should not be restored.

Just reflash the rom, kernel, and modems versions that go with the backup then do an advanced restore of data.ext4.tar only to get your data partition back. That's where all your settings and config live.
Don't really need the system, recovery, boot, or cache tars/img files of the backup as you can reflash them from the source rom.
