simply put, for as long as i can remember all i had to do is make a full backup, it was stored on my sd, then if i made an error somewhere or flashed a rom i did not like, all i had to do was open up old faithful clockwork and do a restore and everything was fine. well the last few revisions of clockwork have screwed me!
if i do a backup, flash a new rom, make any changes etc, when i want to do a restore in clockwork, guess what? NO RESTORE FILES!
the restore data always gets marked and sent to the LOST directory.
what the hell?
anyone know of any GOOD backup and/or recovery software? i have had it with clockwork!
this is the second time i am having to raw dump an sd card then manually convert the binary back to usable files just to recover important files!

You can try CW-Enhanced [v1.1b] by Dread 7 , or TWRP 2.3.1.0 touch Recovery .
Can't go wrong with Dread7us' enhanced recovery (the first link in prboy's post above)

I like the touch interface, the way the menus are laid out. Being able to select what to back up and restore (idk if you can do that on clockwork because I haven't used it in ages lol) and queuing multiple zips to flash right after another.

With CWM you can select what to restore. But you cannot choose multiple zips to flash.

Did they fix the Sense flashing problem? I used v2 and the only way you could flash a Sense ROM was if it was under 215 MB... And believe me there isn't much Sense left @215 MB I only ever got the one to boot one on TWRP and then Dread came out with his and I have never used anything else.

he cleaned up the code and added in the superwipe feature from another recovery, i wanna say the amon-ra recovery but i cant remember. the superwipe goes up to a x5 wipe of all partitions and makes it easier to wipe before flashing new roms.

There's also one more recovery that you can try out if you have the chance, its called AmonRA. I can't say anything about it myself because I've never tried it, but you could give it a shot. I can also say that my favorite so far (haven't tried TWRP though, will soon) is dread's CWM enhanced recovery. Its very useful if your phone won't boot up but you can get into recovery as it let's you run terminal commands straight from there, it also has a very useful Superwipe feature which I think all recoveries should try to adopt/include.

OK so we know the bionics bootstrap recovery doesn't work. I was messing around with Rom manager and flashed the bionics recovery and was successful. Recovery version 5.0.2.5. Then I booted into recovery from Rom manager and performed a successful backup! Gonna hold out on flashing the backup right now but I'm hoping someone that knows a lot more then me will look into this also and see what they think about it and can we possibly use everything without fearing a bricked device .
i successfully created a backup using the bionic bootstrap recovery, but im leery of trying to do a restore without having an sbf handy
Well I got brave and clicked the restore button using the bionic bootstrap recovery. I have 20+ days left to return the phone if anything went wrong. I backed up using the recovery, then clicked restore. Everything restored perfectly. I did not choose wipe data though, as I didn't think it would matter. Just thought I would add that bit of information. Hope this helps guys.

I just used CWM 5.0.2.5 to restore the system backup I made before updating, and indeed it worked fine. I'm back down to 55.11.16 android 2.3.5 (from 55.13.16 - 2.3.6) with seemingly no ill effects. IIRC, I made this system image with the bionic bootstrap recovery app.
Im still on 55.11.16 android 2.3.5 also, I know using Rom manager to make a backup took a lot longer then what I was used to on my OG. Just went through a restore with no seemingly ill effects. Has anyone tried flashing a zip yet? Just glad we seemingly have a recovery that is working.
my vivid will be here in the next day or 2. once i have that, i will risk the Atrix2 and start working on a rom.
Oh no Pirate your switching over to the HTC Vivid? I have been looking at the reviews on that device and it looks as thick as my A2 with the defender otterbox. I'm going to kick my cat if people start abandoning ship on the A2, bummer!
Awesome work on getting CWM to backup and restore. I would love to see some custom roms being dumped onto this device.
Nice! Recovery loads up smoothly on rom manager. This could get interesting...
If your bootloader is not unlocked be very careful as to what you flash!
Try a theme or something that does not affect kernals,

Thanks for the heads up!!
I'm unable to reapply the patch up to 55.13.15
Code:
contents of partition "boot" didn't match MTD:boot:8388608:9651a551679347926bb7589bb4b57d8dea357cb4:8388608:b56beaeb976b10b86cdbd38e87024ab16fe1197f
I've supposedly restored the boot partition with cwm, oh well.
This is probably to be expected. I'm guessing I can only get the stock boot partition back with a proper fxz flash to stock...
edit: I don't think cwm is even saving a boot image. I don't see one in any of my backups.
Makes me wonder what it's doing when I restore boot

No. I built several zip files to flash and cwm nor the bionic bootstrap worked.

This is a must for the g2x. If you use from manager it only fake flashes clockwork mod recovery and makes you unable to flash roms.
Typical way to achieve root on the g2x is to.
1. Nvflash cwm
2. Create a nandroid backup.
3. Flash a rom that has root.
Don't bother with rom manager or super one click.

you definitely want to do that. do you have a nandoid backup of your original system? if your phone breaks, that is the only way to revert it back to original for an exchange (unless ofcourse you take a hammer to it).

I think so. Catch is that I don't know if doing that will actually update anything, the whole problem is that ROM manager doesn't flash it properly/to the right place. The only thing to do is make a nandroid and try it out and if ti doesn't work, then reflash with NV flash and you're good.

I have a samsung infuse on at&t. I want to install CM7. Here's what has happened so far:
- I copied the modified 3e recovery file into /system/bin
- I flashed CWM and rebooted.
- I got a bricked phone.
- I used GTG's unbricker to unbrick, eventually getting it to work.
- I ended up with a different android installation than I had previously. The market is weird, it's locked so I can't install APKs... I rooted and installed rom manager using adb but rom manager force closes immediately.
All I want to do is just install the CM7. I don't care if I keep my data, I don't care if I can recover to my old rom (that's already out the window.) I just want to get rid of this touchwiz garbage and get gingerbread.

This is a zip to restore CWM from TWRP if you flashed TWRP and you hate it or if a kernel you like has TWRP and you prefer CWM.
This has been tested flashing using TWRP while on ICS.
I am not responsible for anything that happens s a result of flashing this.
Make sure "Inject TWRP" is unchecked before flashing.

I thought that rom manager used a temp-boot copy, so flashing it wouldn't overwrite the recovery that you access from the three finger boot?

Alls I know is a few people have soft bricked their phone by making that mistake with rom manager...
I have backups that I made using CWM, as well as backups made using TWRP, + these ALL work..........and I have used the kexec temp CWM from the CM Team w/ good results as well...............yes we all have our preferences as to which recovery to use + why, but *this* Recovery Restore is now indispensable to me going forward............... + it's just awesome having the option to switch our recovery direct from TWRP.

I' am not able to restore CWM in place of TWRP. I could not post here earlier owing to the issue of 10 posts and i have crossed it just a while ago on another post on the same issue.
TWRP gives me an error message "unknown md5 error" for any zip file that i try to flash and hence i' am now stuck with ROM (MIUI V4) and the Kernel (Nyan Colonel). Due to the same error i' am unable to flash the CWM restore too. Is there any other way that i could restore CWM other than going back to stock with ODIN ?
Thanks

Ya... its called flash the twrp.zip in cwm... there is no zip for mtd cwm, but there is for twrp, if that clears it up for you at all....
i had 5.8.2.7 and i flashed to 5.8.4.0 and now when i try to boot into recovery it just sits at the HTC screen for a while and then reboots
Use twrp instead. Clockwork isn't officially supported on our phone. Twrp is.
That or just fast boot into recovery. Is that way not working either?

The only way I've had any success getting into Recovery with CWM is to go into Rom Manager and boot into recovery from there.

I had exactly the same problem, the only thing that ended up working for me was installing Goomanager and doing it from there.
Menu > Install OpenRecoveryScript. This will install TWRP, and worked a treat for me.
I've noticed that when you first do the fastboot flash recovery that when you adb reboot into recovery, or even manually boot into recovery, it won't boot into it the first time. It will after you try again though. This has happened on 3 One X's so I know it's not a single phone specific thing.
Use TWRP, but don't be lazy and do it from the app, it didn't work for me, and just doesn't feel as reliable as my trusty adb commands. If you need help on what commands, PM me. Only three I used, without a hitch.
I used goomanager to install TWRP and it worked just fine.

Flashing a recovery from fastboot is not being lazy. There's actually more work involved than installing from an app. I think you have it the other way around.

Uhmmm, wanna reread what I said, I clearly said NOT to do it from the app. Here's the first sentence in case you somehow missed it.
"Use TWRP, but DON'T be lazy and do it from the APP, it didn't work for me, and just doesn't feel as RELIABLE as my trusty ADB COMMANDS."
Any more questions/inquiries?

Are both recoveries able to install the same roms? or are some roms only able to be installed through CWM or TWRP?
i'm assuming they both install the same way, so all roms should work regardless. It's just that rom threads say "install using clockwork", but i guess that's just a common phrase now..

yeah install using clockwork is common language for use recovery, since cwm is the more well known one.
Just as an opinion, TWRP looks better to me, because its not all just clicks and such, TWRP you slide to confirm, you can flash multiple .zips one after the other (Useful for AOSP roms where you need GAPPS, and if you change the kernel like I do) etc.
Also, as stated before, its an official recovery on our devices, so we get full support should bugs arise.

Sorry. I took it as you saying not to be lazy and to do it from the app instead. Like, Don't be lazy. Do it from the app. See what I'm saying?

Did you turn off "Fast Boot" in "Power settings" before you tried to reboot into recovery?
That Recovery is for the International HOX (tegra 3) not for out AT&T HOX (S4).
Does anyone have a link to up to date instructions on flashing twrp to my phone. i have the ATT version not the international
