I cant flash any 2.1 Roms. I could only nandroid restore my backed up 1.5 stock rom. I can't restore my 2.1 Sushi Rom. Whats the problem? I went from Fresh Toast to try and flash a 2.1 rom. and partitioned my SD card in between to a FAT32.

I flashed to the CyanogenMOD 4.0.4 ROM then flashed in Ted's Hero theme for that rom and then all hell broke loss. My phone is suddenly unstable. To get back to the original 4.0.4 rom do i just wipe and then load it on again?
Also, any reason why a theme should make the phone unstable? It thought that all the theme really did was to replace some of the system images.
Thanks

Well I'm not really sure why in the world you would be using a CM ROM with version 1.anything... The most recent ROM is version 4.0.4. Now if you flashed his recovery image version 1.4 that is not a ROM and a theme will mess with a ROM it was not built for. If you really are using his ROM version 1.4.1 then Ted's hero theme is built for version 4.0.4 so yes you will run into lots of issues.
Yes, just wipe and reflash.
Also questions belong in Q&A.
Title should say 4.0.4? build not 1.4.1. sorry about that.

Did you wipe before you flashed CM 4.0.4 and the theme? You shouldnt have to but it might help resolve any issues. You also might want to reformat your ext partition.

try the wipe first, make sure you have the update.zip on the root of your sd card, then use the good old power off then hold home and power button and flash the update
I wiped before the 4.0.4 ROM install yes. obviously not between the 4.0.4 and the theme.
All i'm really wondering is to get back to 4.0.4 can i just wipe and reload? Wipe essentally clears the phone of anything that was on it correct?
wiped and reloaded 4.0.4 build, worked like a charm...thanks guys for help. quick side question...just need a short answer...is installing the stable hero rom that is floating around as easy as the cyanogenMod? or is it much more complicated?

You need to have the newest radio and Haykuro's Special SPL installed to run any Hero ROM. once that is on it is just as easy to flash a hero ROM. If yo install the new SPL make sure to follow the instructions exactly to avoid bricking your phone.
im using the cdma hero with fresh 2.4 rom on it i wanted to move to the new cm6.0.
and i assume the nightly rom on the cm site is for my phone...right? buttttt
i deleted the files for what i believe is my nandroid back up and apparently never put them on my computer....is there a way to get around this? or am i screwed?? do i have to unroot? then root, flash?
is there a 1 click root?
AND idk how to get out of root..so a link to a guide or maybe a quick way to do it would be nice...thank you for all the help. if you need more info in order to assist ill be glad to tell you.
I'm confused. Did you already flash CM6 or do you want to? If you haven't why don't you just do another nandroid backup. If you already flashed CM 6 and are trying to get back to Fresh, then you are SOL.
Yes, there is a 1-click root, but I forgot where I saw it at.
Thread moved in Hero CDMA Q&A.
Well I'm on fresh right now. I want to move to cm 6. Do I always have to do a nandroid restore when flashing a new Rom? I assumed you did.
But I cannot do a nandroid restore bc it tell me "cannot open directory no files found"

No these are the steps to move to cm6
1. Nandroid backup (when people say nandroid first they mean a backup).
1.5 update your prl, radio, profile if they are out of date (optional)
2. wipe dalvik and factory wipe phone.
3. flash new rom.
4. enjoy.
Here are the CM6 nightlies for the CDMA Hero. If you perform a nandroid backup you are copying your system in the exact state that it is so that if something happens you can revert back to it. When you perform a nandroid restore you are reverting back to the state at which you ran the nandroid backup. Most people recommend doing a nandroid backup before flashing a new rom. You do not do a nandroid restore when flashing a new rom. Just make sure you do a full wipe and wipe dalvik before flashing a new rom.
Ooh okay wow that's gonna help! can i update the prl and all that by just going system updates? and updating there?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
thank you!

Yes but only in Sense Roms CM6 and AOSP roms dont have this functionality (keep your last fresh nandroid for this purpose). Before you move to CM6 update all of that and then flash CM6. Then anytime you need to update any of that stuff in the future (prl, pri, profile) you can do a nadroid and then go back to your Fresh backup and restore then update it and then restore back to cm6.
okay! thank you very much!
and the nightlies? i dont mind using experimental roms as long as i can use like rom manager to just update it i dont wanna flash a new rom every day..
Hi sorry this may sound dumb
I rooted my Nexus One running 2.2.1 using super one click root...I flashed recovery image using ROM manager..did a nandroid backup..Went on to recovery and flashed CyanogenMod 6.1.1....I found no Google Apps in it...Then i tried coming back to the stock rom by doing a nandroid restore but it fails telling md5 check failed..I already had a backup image of my phone with android 2.2 and was able to restore it....My question is
1)How do i install Google Apps on Cyanogen and get all my contacts back and
2)How do i make a proper backup so that wen i try restoring my stock it does not show the same error......
Now my phone is running android 2.2.1 with stock rom
Kindly help me pls......
Derp download google apps and flash on top of CM6.1? It's not so hard. There's even a download link somewhere in the CM thread's first post.
Can i get the link for it pls..........??
http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/
Next time please use the search function, or just google it. It ain't that hard.
But wat abt the ans to my second question??

Maybe get a better SD card? Your Nandroid shouldn't have been corrupted. Just try doing another one and see if it works. You could just be very unlucky, why haven't you tried making another nandroid and testing? That seems like the only logical next step, see if the problem repeats.
Which is better? I've used both haven't really noticed a difference (restoring the backup) both seem to do the job. I've been using RA and nandroid but had to switch to cwr to install aosp 0.1.2 gb rom cuz RA wouldn't do it so can someone explain the difference?

well I use 1.7 but I have to go thru alot of steps to get aosp's GB to run.
Flash CM6 let it boot wipe dalvik-cache,wipe cache
Flash AOSP GB let it boot
Flash Gapps
Then it runs pretty good but still don't like some othe bugs IMHO

Heh tried that with 1.5.2 didn't work sent me into boot loops or would install gb but not gapps clockwork mod worked easily. Just flashed aosp 2.2 then full wipe then flashed 0.1.2 the gapps no need to flash then restart then flash gapps. Im just wondering if theirs a difference between amon ra's nandroid backup and cwr backup if so which is the better of the 2.

Y not just flash Darch's 1.7 and see if it will work for you from your post it seems like you've just read about others experience without giving it a go for yourself..... every phone is different no two are the same and no to users are the same hence forth every ones experience will differ IMO I think you should just try it and see!!!! There's always nanddroid good luck

To answer your question...
Both do the same thing. They make an exact copy of your system, data, and boot partitions and if you choose the ext partition on the sdcard.

So both perform the same core function, it's just the GUI and added tasks that are different. Correct?

Cool thanks for the info I thought they both did the same core functions and since its as I thought ill keep using the cwr it does seem to have the better GUI. Plus it seems a tad faster at backing up/ restoring at least I think so.

Can this new recovery be used to flash CyanogenMod 6.1.1??? I just got the new recovery update on rom manager and was going to flash cyanogenmod 6.1.1 and just checking. I thought the new recovery was for flashing Gingerbread roms?? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vinny
I don't see why not. You can try and if it don't work you can flash an older version in ROM Manager

I am not sure about that. But one thing for sure is it is not good for MM's CM7. I have loop-reboot problem with this. I cannot even restore to any custom roms except my froyo stock. :-( Now, I have to downgrade to 2.5.x.x to see if my custom roms work again.
See development section.
EDIT: I successfully restore other custom roms using lower version of Clockworkmod. But the loop-reboot problem of MM's CM7 remains the same.
I guess I won't find out until I try. Newly rooted and going to give CyanogenMod a try. Know I am going to be happy as hell with it.
Thanks
The new recovery should be fine with flashing any roms. As for any standing problems with it, im am uncertain. You may want to wait 2 weeks or so to see if their are any problems from people using it. Personally I like Amon ra so i cant say.

A full wipe is necessary to upgrade to gingerbread roms from any lower android versions. Did u full wipe? + Dalvik cache wipe?

I used it to flash and install tonight's build successfully...
I have a "side question".
To flash any GingerBread flavor, do we need 3.x.x.x ou 2.5.x.x is working?
I haven't give CM7 a try yet, but I'm not sure if I need/want to upgrade to 3.x.x.x, 2.5.1.4 work well for me.

I got it too. No more crazy rebooting. I solve it by reformatting my SD card and recreating ext3. I guess 3.0.0.5 recovery messed up my ext3 partition. Now, MM CM14 is working pretty well. FYI, I am using 2.5.1.4 recovery.
Yeah it was working good till I try to do a restore, lets just say I;m up all night trying to restore my phone. I think my EXT partition messed up too as DTa2sd is giving me all kinda of headache.
doesn't work with MIUI for me!
don't understand that, but luckily its not a big deal flashing older versions!

I hear you there! That was me last night! DON'T USE 3.0.0.5! The only fix I found to actually work was to completely format my SD card and then re-partition it, then use RA and a fresh install. What a pain in the arse!
Same thing here. Switched to 3.0.0.5, and the next thing, my ext was fried and I had to reformat the entire card. Could be coincidence, but...
