I was trying to flash gingerbread on my phone, but it wasn't working with clockwork recovery so i flashed amon ra through rom manager then tried to flash gingerbread after clearing all data.
However this didn't work, and turns out the backups i created with clockwork can only be restored with clockwork recovery, i believe, because they are located in the clockwork folder. I had deleted my other nandroid backups because i was trying to clear space and i thought the backups i created in rom manager were the same.
So i flashed to the only working rom on my phone, cm6.1.1 without google apps. Amon ra also wont flash a variety of google apps ive put on my phone because of a signature error. This signature error seems to come up when i try to flash anything that might help fix this. I have tried many methods from this site to flash back to clockwork recovery, but it does not seem to be working.
what do i do?
thanks
Turn signature verification of in Amon Ra...

Like danger rat said. Turn off signature verification in amon RA.

So with all the great guides and help from others on here I was able to root and check out a few different roms and was even able to switch back and forth using nand backup and restore. Being new I was sticking with the sprint based roms, certain days I do like sense. I had 3 different ones and using amon RA 1.6.2. could navigate between them. Then I went to a froyo aosp which is superfast and I love, but I somehow switched to clockwork recovery...after moving the nands over so I could see them and then tried to restore and got boot loop errors on all of them. Did I do something wrong? I switched to amon RA 1.7 for recovery to see if that helped and same thing. Is there any way to fix?!? Please, any and all help is greatly appreciated...

Switch back to your original recovery, to restore those nands.
clockwork and amon ra 1.7 use a different a2sd method. If you're not using a cm based rom(or restoring/backing up), you need to run amon ra 1.6.2
I am having an issue with Rom Manager Premium. It won't let me backup my current ROM. I select the option and it just asks me for a filename then reboots the phone into recovery mode. I check my SD card for a backup file and nothing gets created... What gives?
I've tried googling my problem, but people say to select the "Flash Alternate Recovery" option, but it's greyed out for me. And I have the latest version of Clockwork Mod 2.5.1.2
I am running an ATT Captivate SGH-I897 with the leaked 2.2 froyo rom on the Rogers network in Canada.
Dev will also not respond to my emails.
Suggestions?
I would suggest to go into recovery then advanced I believe then choose backup. Then if you go back into rom manager you will see a backup. Rom manager is just doing the same function. I usually just use the backup or restore from recovery menu anyways and I have rom manager premium also.

I think I have this same issue with my ROM Manager now backing up. I don't have the premium version. But my phone just reboots into Recovery whenever I select "Backup Current ROM" from the ROM Manager. Then when I go back to ROM Manager and select "Manage and Restore Backups", nothing happens.
So the workaround is confusing for me.
Select "Reboot into Recovery" using the ROM Manager to go into recovery mode? I have no idea where this advanced menu is either.
I'm just a newbie to ROM Manager and trying to figure out where to see my backups of my ROM....if they even exist.
did you guys follow the directions and FLASH CLOCKWORK RECOVERY from within ROM manager?
then when it boots to regular recovery did you try REINSTALL PACKAGES?
that will put you into clockwork recovery and you can do a backup from there

Yes I did that first step. There is a similar post with another fix and an update.zip file attached. I tried that but it froze up during the backup. I think I ran out of space on my internal SD card. I'm not sure how much space I need to do a backup but I only have about 1200MB left on my internal. I'm trying to clear things out. My external 4Gb card is nearly maxed as well. I really want to get a 32Gb external soon.
my clockwork backups are right around 750mb

I found out what the problem was... the leaked 2.2 froyo rom I'm running uses the <3e> recovery which I guess is not compatable with ClockworkMod. When I try to reinstall packages it gives me a verification failed message.
So I guess I need to flash a different kernel, or find another workaround. What was the update.zip workaround mentioned before? Could you please post a link?

the update.zip will not work for you if you are on the leaked 2.2 with 3e recovery.
you will need to find a kernel that allows the unsigned zips or 2e recovery...they are in these forums, i will try to find a link
Tried flashing a 2.2 Sense ROM in clockworkmod 3.0. Did not work, I was told to flash an older version of clockwork-mod.
flashed the ROM, all was going well until the unthinkable happened.
I now get this system error:
E:Board does not support mtd utils.E:Failure at line 388
write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img BOOT:
Installation aborted.
Forgot that clockworkmod would erase my old backup... I can get into clockworkmod by the way. If I mount it, can I sideload someone else's recovery image...??? If so, could someone provide one? thanks
Noob-friendly help plz?
thanks-- just bought my nexus :/
Edit: Also, using a mac. Have access to a pc tomorrow. I just want sense :[
Clockwork 3 seems to have been messing with a lot of peoples partitions. Install a different recovery, like Amon Ra, our an earlier Clockwork.
Then you can try and do a full wipe, and install whatever you want for a ROM.
Clockwork won't have deleted your backup, but if you made it with Clockwork 3, it may not work with other recoveries...

IMO, AmonRa works better with the N1. I've thoroughly used both. Clockwork works great on the SNS.
Yup. Problem solved :]
flashed Amon-Ra via Fastboot. Coming from a vibrant which features the luxury of odin and wonderful Clockworkmod support. Thanks for the help, was geeking out for a while without odin at my disposal. Never had to partition sd in my life haha. Learning a lot.
Hi
I am trying to restore my backup using Rom manager with Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5, however i was not able to boot to CWM recovery. I have tried to flash it to older versions CWM but error message "An error occurred while flashing your recovery."
I flashed RA Recovery v2.2.1 via Rom Manager and it works. However i am unable to flash back to any versions of CWM.
I have just gotten back my n1 replacement and would like to restore my previous backup. Thanks in advance
I have the same error on My Touch 4G.
im having the same thing, it is most likely server side and nothing to do with our phones
To see if it's a server issue, you can actually go into the Clockworkmod/download folder on your SD to confirm that the recovery is downloaded. If it's there, it's not a network issue... I think it's more likely an issue with cwm...
Have you tried flashing via adb, terminal, or fastboot?

it was server side issue.. its back up now and i didn't change a thing on my end.. when i searched google for "site: forums.xda-developers.com unable to flash recovery" and went to options by latest.. a whole bunch of other forums popped up last night or today with the same problem
Having troubles after flashng roms this morning.
After a few goes, I got cyanogenmod working, and accidently restored my previous backup after thinking it would only do my contacts/apps. Now, when I try and flash anything, I get cache errors in recovery and cant get past the htc boot screen..and ideas?
Try deleting/factory reset in the clockworkmod recovery, but your backup file is likely corrupt.
you doing this in Rom Manager or Recovery menu dirctly?
It wound up being something to do with ext3/4 and rom manager somehow downgrading my clockworkmod version ....my newbish android skills on show there lol
