as the title says, how do i remove cwm? i want to try cm7 and i cant do that with pauls version of cwm, and it refuses to update cwm
so some1 please enlighten me as to how i remove it
another quick question what is a nandroid, and how do i make one?
It should work to update even thou there's an old version installed. I did that this morning from Pauls O2X Clockwork Recovery. But now since this afternoon I'm not able to install the recovery from RomManager anymore I think there is a server issue.
The reason I did have to download it again was because I wanted to start som scratch and flashed the original O2X ROM and then wanted to go to CM again.

Install ROM Manager, I was running CWM 3.0.1.8 or something like that prior to running CWM from CM7.
You can also restore the original bootloader, look up for r1-stockrecovery-2x-unsigned.zip
As to nandroid, basically it is a full backup of your phone. You should always make a nandroid backup before installing another ROM.

Ok I have rooted my captivate and un-installed at&t's crappy software and have clockwork recovery installed. 1st question is did Clockwork make a back-up already of my stock rom when I installed it and labeled it "update.zip"? That's what it seems like when i read the directions for it. I made a backup while i was in clockwork recovery just in case. So if i want to restore my phone back to normal do I start clockwork and install that "update.zip" file or the backup I made?
2nd question is if I want to un-root the phone do I just run the one-click unroot option and it brings everything back to normal? Or do i have reinstall all of at&t's crapware then unroot so things do not get messed up? If anyone can help this would be great. Thanks, Jesse

The update.zip is actually the Clockwork Mod Recovery, this is where you have the option to restore your backup, also know as Nandroid. You may need to click on reinstall packages more than once and you will then see the menu for ClockworkMod Recovery. You will find your backup there, just choose backup and restore, you can then choose restore, and you will see the backup you created. You can also restore your backup through the ROM Manager app. Only your Rom is backed up and all of your setting but not the kernel.
To totally restore should you ever use a mod that changes your kernel you should use Odin one click to restore to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 This will remove rooting and restore the AT&T bloatware and set the phone back to how it was out of the box, don't worry about rooting because once you restore your backup ROM you will regain root.
Thanks for the help! Is there a mac version of that odin software to get back to stock firmware? Also is the stock firmware built into that application or do I need to download it from somewhere and place it on my phone through the computer?

It's built in, this version has everything you need it is one click. I don't use Mac but I do know there is a program you can run within Mac to use windows. Head to to Cognition IRC chat and ask the guys there. http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=Cognition
Hi Guys.
Basically i have recently got a SGS and have rooted it using Z4 and also have the OCLF lag fix.
But what i really want to know is what the safest and easiest way to make a custom recovery image. Also if someone could explain breifly/simply exactly what it means for when i install a custom ROM.
I have seen this http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-rom-or-app-from-zip-file-to-android-device-from-recovery/, but then also saw somewhere on these forums that clockwork mod recovery ist too great or something to that effect, sorr i cannot find a link to it.
cheers in advance guys

Bump, i did a search and couldnt find anything like i wanted to know.
can someone please help?
ta.
You can install Rom Manager and do a complete backup of your ROM including apps and all info.
All you need is Clockwork Recovery and Rom Manager. I have used it and it is very simple to use.
You can also use Nandroid, but I have never used it so I can't say anything about it.
Here is a small tutorial...
The phone needs to be rooted for this to work.
1) Any 2.2 non custom rom has 3e recovery , ClockworkMod only works with 2e recovery. You will have to flash a different Kernel with Odin to get it back. Check out this thread for info...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756
2) Install ROM Manager
3) In Rom Manager, click on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
4) Click on "Backup Current ROM"
5) Name the file anything you want.
6) Your phone will recoot into recovery and backup the ROM.
7) When finished, reboot the phone.
8) Transfer the backup to your computer for safe keeping.

thats great, just what i was after, thanks.

does anyone have any advice on the nandroid backup version as i am running 2.2 so clockworkmod as said above wont work....
thanks

If you installed it via Rom Manager then you have it so what's the problem?

Nope. The CWM recovery stays intact.

first of all, your phone must be root. please make sure that
Its already rooted
my phone is already rooted, thats y i have rom manager in it,
i have cm7 rom installed and cwm installed via rom manager, but it has gallery bug so i restored to my stock gb nandroid backup after restarting the phone i cant see my cwm recovery.
i have tryed all the method in xda o2x forum to install cwm in my phone but no luck, the only way i got it via rom manager, but i can access cwm through rom manager only after reboot to recovery from the app, if i try to reboot the manually and holding down the volume its goes to software update mode no cwm recovery.

oh so you're already root, i think the problem because you already flashed CM7 ROM which is ext 4. and if you want to go back to stock GB which is ext 3, you can't nandroid backup you should flash the back to ext 3 CWM zip, then you can go back to stock GB.
I'm sorry if I'm wrong.

Yes - that happened to me also. My first "bad" experience with flashing
from what i read CM7 running ext4, stock runing ext3 right?
so now i'm back with stock running froyo, i still have my backup files on with sd card. Do i root and install rom manager then install Back2Ext3, and final running restore? will this restore back to my original state since i backup using cwm to backup.
thank guy
yes, cm7 uses ext4 system mount. i just use a zip file which i flash from recovery if i need to get back to ext3.
here it is btw if you are on stock froyo and want to restore stock gingerbread (if i understood you right) you dont need to use back to ext3 again, just restore your back up.

Restore stock backup from CM needs to flash an ext4-backto-ext3 zip with cwm, what a pity you overwrite cwm with stock recovery.
Now you should try to rescue your phone with SmartFlash, finally consider nvflash method.

If you mind, try Django Manouche, Custom but stock based ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410662 . I tried many CM and MIUI roms but always ended restoring Django back
Hey I have an optimus 2x.
i was running stock gingerbread on my rooted device. the other night i installed rom manger and downloaded CWM straight from there for my phone. it was version 6. something. i booted into recovery. made a nandroid backup(into the external memory of the phone) . then awhile later for some small reason i restored that same backup, which restored but it sent my phone into boot loop. the lg logo just flashes on and off.
i then heard that i may have installed the wrong CWM so i put another version of recovery onto an sd card and flashed it onto my phone.
cwm-based recovery v5.0.2.7
Now i have this recovery but when i try to restore that same backup it restores it really quickly and says it cant find a bunch of stuff.
i tried to put cynogenmod on the sd card but my phone doesnt give me the option anymore to install zip from external sd.
i have been reading and reading. currently i am on your thread called full brick repair.
i just dont know which way to go. i cant even find a stock ROM. the links i found are broken. I am in canada. its a fido phone.
i have tried A lot.
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED . Thank you.
Now you have older version, when backup have been made by newer version. You have to flash newer version of CWM and then wipe data,system and restore backup. It will work
If you want to back to stock, use nvflash toolkits that are floating around here.

The reason i installed the older CWM is because my phone kept bootlooping after restoring the backups
ANYWAYS, i manged to flash the latest cm10 andGapps on my phone. its a bit laggy
what i am trying to do tho is use setDNS an app. to change my dns settings in order to get the american content from netflix.
setdns has superuser permisions and all but i still get the canadian version of netflix.
i think its because of CM10, what should i do?
