I would like to flash Gingervolt to my revo. Every thread I look at says that the first step in doing so is to use CWM to make a back up. I try to install using rom manager and it brings up a list of phones that I have to pick from. I am sure you are all aware of this and I am being a HUGE noob right now but I searched the forums and didn't see anything about this. I Would really appreciate the help as to how i go about getting cwm for my phone and how to back up my phone.

Don't flash gingervolt yet. Are you using froyo, or gingerbread? Then you need cwm, which is part of our oneclick program in the development section. Then you make that back up.

I am using gingerbread. I have the one click program installed and I have installed all of the drivers. Since my phone is already rooted do I just use the CWM part or do i do the entire root andCWM

Ok so I put CWM on using one click or whatever. I used quick boot to go into recovery. The Rom manager logo was there and it says CWM- Based Recovery V5.0.2.7. I pressed back up and backed up my entire system and that is the last thing I have done. My question is if i were to mess something up how would I make my phone go to the previous back up. Also am I ready for gingervolt now?

Get rid of rom manager. You do not need it. There is no good that will come of it. To many things can go wrong lol.
Use the all in one, it has a reboot recovery option now, after installing and it reboots, select reboot recovery. If it goes into it, then you are all set.

Ok so I am about to use that. The next step is to back up all data. Once I have done that the next step is to wipe all data!!! that is the scary part. How do i get back my stuff should something go awry. Once I get over that fear I press install zip from SD card and then I am done after I reboot. And this is all done in CWM. AM I correct in stating all of this.

if you are already rooted, install Titanium Backup or Ultimate Backup or ROM Toolbox from the market they are all useful tools to back up all of your apps. Then wipe data, flash Gingervolt, then use backup program to restore your apps..

You do not have to wipe data, it is an option if you want a clean start. I would run your phone as it is for a couple Weeks and if it acts up, then consider a data wipe when other options have been used.

Don't Pay Attention To That!! Just Press The Back Button, Next Choose A ROM & Download It, Put It On Your SDCard (Not In A SubFolder) Boot Into Recovery, Select Install Zip From SDCard, Scroll Down & Select The ROM, Wait For It To Boot (The 1st Time, May Take Longer Than Usual To Boot) That's It Hope This Helps!!

I just watched the 3 part You Tube Video on Flashing Cognition ROM to Captivate,I need to ask 3 things. First the video shows the One Click Root method though computer. I already have my root rooted with z4root app is this OK. After the new ROM is on the guy went to Market and got Ti Backup and he side loaded it can't you just load Std. way though Market?( I have the Paid Ver. of Ti Backup) Third question on the video he stated to use "restore All Apps with Data" but written on the Screen says to use "Restore Missing apps with data",which is it? I hope this my last question but I really want to sure of what I am doing before I try this.
Thanks for help
Would have been better suited in the General forum, but..
Rooting with z4mod = fine.
Getting TiBu from market = ...fine.
Restore all apps with data = literally restores all of your backups and data
Restore missing apps with data = restores apps that are not installed on the phone, ignoring ones that are installed on the phone.
Best to ask in Q&A section, but I'll still help you out.
1. Yes, that's fine. The way you root it doesn't matter, as long as it's rooted.
2. Not sure why he'd go to the Market to get it then sideload, but yes, you can get it straight from the Market, but make sure you know how to keep your donate version after a flash, as flashes (usually) wipe /data.
3. Restore Missing Apps with Data.
Thanks guys I really wasn't sure where to Post this. Yes I have Backup of Ti Backup folder on my computer.
Thanks again

Sounds like you're good to go then! Definitely made a lot more precautions and backed up a lot more than I did the first time, and that's definitely a good thing!

Here is the easiest way to return to stock from Revolt or Rehomed. This is the stock system and boot.imgs. You can do it all from your phone, and you do NOT need to unroot.
What is this?
This is the ZV4 stock system and boot.img. I bascially disassembled the stock rooted system.img posted by thecubed and made it into a cwm zip.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How do I install this?
1.) Download the .zip & make sure 4g is enabled.
2.) Place zip in external sdcard
3.) I recommend to wipe data to prevent any problems
4.) Go to install zip from sdcard
5.) Select StockRootedZV4.zip
6.) Reboot
7.) Install RevoToolKit
8.) Follow instructions of replacing cwm with stock recovery
9.) After stock recovery you can check for updates!!!

Very Excited. This should make life much easier, with fewer steps. Thanks MT. All your "overtime" you are putting into this is very much appreciated.
So, say someone wasn't in 4G mode when they reflashed to stock, and did /data wipe.. and now gets "your phone needs a SIM card to activate" when back at the "select your language", etc...
I assume this is because I wasn't in 4G mode, but not sure. Any number of reboots with SIM card/battery pull/reseats or return to revolt {pick a version} roms doesn't help. I have no boot loops or freezes, just can't get past activation to do anything (other than make an "emergency call")
Would flashing with LGNPST back to the .tot file potentially get me to a better spot or is it time to visit my friends at Verizon?
Thanks mt. I will be flashing this soon. Downloading directly to the phone onto the sim card. Hopefully I can get GB and gingervolt later today!!

Try restoring a back up rather than flashing a zip and see if that works.

What method of root did you use? And check your app drawer for revo tool kit then you need to download the clockwork mod recovery check what recovery you have if it isn't the 4.0.0.2-pr1 then you need to click on to install that if it didn't go through the first time keep trying but do not reboot after it says it successfully installed hit the menu soft key And reboot in to recovery once you are in there make a back up by going to the backup And restore part And choose back up after you should wipe your data by going to format system INSIDE CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY not from inside your phone settings for gingervolt you need to put the zip on your external sd card so that means not the one that says internal place it on the root ( main portion) not in folder then reboot into recovery (if you had to boot to put ginger volt on your sd) the same way as before then go to install zip from sd card choose the gingervolt zip nitty the install update.zip option select yes let it install then reboot.. Also in clockwork recovery you use to volume keys to navigate up And down And the power button to select

If you rooted with mts all in one click that has cwm sticking just go into it manually. I always download everything to the phone directly makes it easier for me.

Best way to check you have cwm download revotool kit and check that way. If it says you have it then you can reboot from revo toolkit.

Once you toggle to safe, then you flash ics. Even if it didn't back up your original system, the worst that should happen when going back to your normal system is that it will take you back to a fresh install and you will need to set your accounts back up and reinstall your apps
