Thanks to Mike919 we now have a clockwork recovery backup that you can recover to your phone.
What does this give me? well it gives you a way to restore your phone to its default state but it has already been rooted and deodexed.
If you dont know what root or deodexed are then please search around the forums. I'm sorry but i simply dont have the time to answer a thousand questions.
How do i use this?
Well it's very simple.
Unzip the file
On your sdcard make a folder in sdcard\clockworkmod\backup with todays date on it like \sdcard\clockworkmod\backup\2010-08-23.23.30.41
Extract the contents of This File into that folder. There should be 5 files inside when you are done.
Install Koush's Clockwork recovery (if you haven't already)
Boot into Koush's recovery
Choose restore, then navigate to the folder you created earlier
Choose restore. Then follow the instructions on the screen.
When you reboot you will have a totally clean system, with Froyo 2.2, already rooted. and fully deodexed.
I can this tell you that this does work. I have done it myself. I also know of one other person that has done it with no problems.
Please grab the file while you can, who knows how long this will stay up.
oh, also it has a black bar with transparency. Other versions will follow i'm sure you can always replace your framework-res.apk and services.jar if you don't like it.
again search alldroid if you need help with this.

Awesome thank you Mike
Stupid question but you know its gonna be asked.... you need to be on 2.2 before applying the 2.2 nandroid correct?
Yeah.

@mach330: just restore using provided files. I didn't wipe, was on rooted leaked froyo.
thanks...so it retains all our stuff? aight...gonna try this out in a bit. been having problems with nandroid backup on froyo. didn't wanna go to sbf flash to do this again. i'm hoping this will fix this problem.
NO! It WILL install a fresh froyo build. This will probably come late to you though...
ok thanks...hmm..now i'm debating. you think this will fix my nandroid backup problem?
Do an advanced restore and only redo the system partition not the data and you'll keep your data and get the improved system files
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
crap...i guess i answered my own question. tried to restore only the system and i get:
E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblkp1)
(Device or resource is busy)
Can't mount /sdcard
Does this mean i gotta do an sbf flash?

Can anyone confirm if this will work or not? So far we've gotten two conflicting answers.
So since I was born yesterday.....
What's the difference between this and the root/2.2 leak I did the other day?. Is this blur free in all ways? Cause that's the only reason I would wipe and go through all those proper steps is to be 100% blur free.

not sure where to post this question, sorry if it isnt in the right place.
Am I correct in assuming that the ringtones and notification sounds are packaged in with the individual ROMs? And, if so, how would I add to or remove individual sounds? Thanks
If you download the rom, open up the zip and extract the system/media/audio folder they should be in there
thanks. i guess what i'm trying to figure out is how to alter those ststem files once they are on the phone

Using root explorer, select mount r/w and go to the folder mentioned in the previous post. You can copy, paste, and delete ringtones in your current rom.

Is there a way to have 2 roms in the same phone? rom switcher or something like that?
I believe you can use clockwork mod Rom manager. Or just keep your nand backups on your SD card and restore at will.

I highly suggest not using clockworkmod rom manager, I've heard it doesn't play well with the eris. I would go with the nand backups.

I formatted my internal and external sdcards today by mistake, now my download folders are gone, I was tolded this is normal since formatted deletes all data on card which is why my download folder is gone. I've tired downloading rom and modded recovery all day but I cant find them in root exploror anywheres, than I Google a random picuture and tried to save the picture but the download was uncuccessful.

It sounds like this should be fixable, but could you please provide more information on your current setup (Android version, if it's a custom ROM, etc).
As far as getting ROMs and CWM to your phone, you may want to try downloading the roms/modded recovery on a PC (if one is available), then move them over to your phone. If everything was formatted and you're having trouble using root explorer, it might just be easier to do it that way.
Before today my phone was fine, it displayed downloads that I've done etc. I was trying to install a downloaded rom thru cwm but it didn't display "install from sdcard" with in cwm. I than clicked format sdcard for some dumb reason and It put me in my current state.

I see that you're on your phone now, which answers the question of whether or not you can boot, so that's good. If you've formatted your Internal SD card (which it sounds like you did - did it get rid of all your files on the phone?), you could probably just do a Titanium backup of what you still have and reinstall your ROM (assuming you're on a custom rom). That would likely correct the issue.

Assuming that it wasn't deleted in the format, I'd recommend reflashing whatever rom you're on and restoring your apps from Tibu.
the tibu backup is no more it would have been deleted when he formatted. look in your browsers settings for the default download directory. or make a folder on your sdcard called downloads and set it to there as default....

Yep, my back up is gone. I went to the download directory and all downloads in there say download unsuccessful, I than went to sdcard in root exploror and created a folder named download. I tried saving a few Google pics and they still come up download unsuccessful, I even tried downloading a file from xda and its not in my new download folder. I didn't set it as default since I don't know how to set it, I didn't see any options. Getting very frustrated.

That appeared to work, I saved a random picture and it was saved in my new download folder. But when I try and download the modded e3 signature file (which is what I've been trying to do) I see a quick download meter start and finish, after its done I can select close or open, if I click open I'm brought to rom manager with an install prompt were I can select or de-select a few things, than I'm put into recovery but it dkesnt show any place to install from sdcard. When I had to do this on my infuse once I downloaded the modded recovery it was listed in my downloads, id extract, copy and paste over original recovery but I don't see it anywhere in my captivates files.

If the phone isn't showing up in any way when you hook it up to the computer (i.e. you can't select to mount the phone from the notification drop-down), that would be your option.

Before I say more - do you currently have the android default recovery or some version of CWM installed on your phone?
You're pasting in the modded 3e recovery I assume, that's in a place usually mounted read only. Using root explorer, there is a little button on the top right that says mount r/w press that THEN paste in.

Nandroid backups on the D3 aren't the fastest right now, but with a simple and quick tweak, we can make them much, much faster.
During the backup/restore, clockword recovery shows each individual file being copied. By turning this off, it drastically improves backup/restore times. It'll still say backup up /system, or /data, it just won't show the individual file. In order to remove the nandroid progress stats, you need to create two files using adb or terminal emulator.
ADB or Terminal Emulator​1) type- (may need to do "adb shell" first)
Code:
echo "" > /sdcard/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress
Press enter
2) type
Code:
echo "" > /sdcard-ext/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress
Press enter
3) Done!
Hint- to check to make sure it created the files, navigate to /sdcard/clockworkmod and see if there's a .hidenandroidprogress file. Also check in /sdcard-ext/clockworkmod for the same file.
Can't we just create the files manually instead of going through the trouble of using adb?
Yup. I used a terminal emulator on my phone since I didn't feel like taking the time to do it.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Thanks for this. I was wondering why backup/restore was so much slower on the D3 than on my OG Droid - synchronous IO strikes again.
FYI,
I removed the detailed progress bar from the upcoming Safestrap 1.0. The wait was just too long to even have that option enabled.
Excellent post, thanks a lot for sharing this tip.
Edit: I created both files and then rebooted into Recovery and started a backup. I still see each file being named as well as the progress bar. Did not seem to work for me...

You'll still see the actually progress bar. It just won't show each individual file. But that's weird. Ill see what I can find out.

Definitely weird, I will delete the files and try to create them again to see if that helps. FYI, I used Android Terminal Emulator to create the files using the commands you posted.

Wow, had a temporary lapse of reason earlier... Your typo of the comma in your last comment made me realize my own typo in typing /.hideandroidprogress instead of ./hidenandroidprogress . Backups are much, much faster now.
Huge difference!
I'm not sure if this is where I should post this but... When making a backup with CWM bootstrap(Not Safestrap) does it backup the /preinstall stuff too? I ask because I tried using the safestrap to flash a compatible rom and didnt backup and the rom wasnt functioning properly. I managed to recover back to my ogblur i was running prior but i wanted to know if my /preinstall was reverted and if not do I have anything to worry about with it not being how it was originally?

First off.. run the root script here http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/11/rooting-the-droid-4-a-failed-bounty-experiment/
Make sure you have some significant memory left in INTERNAL SDCARD(2 or 3 gigs is fine)
Once rooted install Bionic Safestrap
Link: http://db.tt/D624eHLF
Open Safestrap and click install recovery
Grab the ICS Rom

Put the Rom on your external sd card
Next grab google apps here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/17726-romalpha-ics4bionic-59902-version-alpha-02-10-2012/
Reboot Phone
When it boots up you'll get a different looking screen tap the menu button( you got 10 seconds or it'll boot up regularly) Menu button(far left)
Scroll down to "safe boot menu" using the volume down button and select with power botton
Select Toggle Safe System
Enable Safe System
Might take awhile don't freak out
Go Back
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Will take awhile don't freak out
Wipe Cache
Wipe Cache Partition
Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache
Go Back to Main SafeStrap Menu
Install zip from sd card
Choose zip from sdcard/External SD Card
And the Rom will be near the bottom labeled
"902-ICS-4.0.3_r1-cm_targa-2012-02-09-04_08"
*note* something i experienced when flashing this rom was it was giving me corrupt file or incomplete or something so what i did was delete it and redownload and trasfer the file directly from download location don't transfer to desktop etc... i believe it was a md5 mismatch and after i tried again it worked great...
don't forget to thank and donate to anyone deserving of it again i take no credit for the exploit or the guide just passing it on.. if i missed something please let me know..

Hello,
I am not exactly sure how, but somehow in moboot I see :
- CWM
- ClockWorkMod
CWM works, the other does not.
How do I remove the 2nd one then?
I have been searching online, but all I can find is that installing CWM would remove the previous recovery but it does not work for me....
Thanks!
The only correct way to do it is start back to square one. You'll have to do an acmeunimstaller to get that off I believe. If anyone else knows correct me if I'm wrong. But do that then reinstall android with only the 4 zips

Yours is the SAFE way, but if you're adventurous and knowledgeable, you can use a root browser to navigate to /boot. Look for a file named uImage.ClockWorkMod; copy it to the sdcard (just to be safe in case you screw up); and then delete it in /boot. Make sure you also have a file named uImage.CWM, which should be the working recovery image. Reboot and the offending recovery should be gone. If you screw up, you should still be able to boot into the ROM and either restore the file you deleted or reinstall CWM.
