Not sure why you couldn't backup and restore....
Clockwork had problems for a few days after launch but has been fixed for awhile now.

its been working just fine for a while now.

Charging while the phone is off has also been fixed in 3.0.2.5

Mine has been working fine for awhile now.

3.0.2.5 is working on Tbolt?
Instead of going into clockwork it would put me in bootloader and recovery option just rebooted bootloader. Anyone else experience this?
nevermind.....Working just fine now

No problems here with 3.0.2.5. Try flashing an old one and then reflash 3.0.2.5.

I've run into a problem with Rom Manager. I had it installed on my Incredible before and it worked fine. Well now I've switched to the Thunderbolt and re-downloaded through the market. My problem is that it still shows Incredible rom's, not Thunderbolt rom's. Any ideas how to fix this?

I just had this problem...all you need to do is use a file manager and navigate to clockwork folder and delete the settings file in that folder. Might have to reinstall afterward.

Thank you. I finally got this to work as far as I have the Super User app installed on the phone. I thought if I had this then the phone is def rooted yet when I try to delete ATT bloat ware it still won't let me.
Is this only because its still running the factory 2.2 froyo. Will the full SU benefits be there one I flash whatever ROM he wants on Monday ?
And what is the best rom for the cap ? I have the Eris running a GB rom that I love but I'm sure this phone is different

go to the market, download titanium backup. use that to uninstall, unwanted bloat...you cannot use the native package installer/uninstaller to remove system apps.

Tried using Astro and E Strongs both and niether worked and they are non native. I'll give TBU a try.

Tbu is the most popular app users use to remove apps. And it worked for me do I hope it can work for you

TB did the job.
What ROM do most cap users seem to like these days that stable and quick.

stable and quick
stick with froyo based roms. especially if you have to ask
besides that,,, research research.
there is no best.

My personal preference... Firefly.
The Gingerbread ROMs are still Beta.

ok i have to agree... firefly...

Thanks all. I don't think it's going to matter since when I reboot into recovery I do not have the option to "flash zip from sd card". I got it rooted, installed rom manager and flashed clockwork but to no avail. This all seemed to go so smoothly when I did our eris phones.
I have his "wireless tether" working and was able to delete a ton of ATT bloatware but I think he's going to stuck with the stock ATT 2.2 ota rom.

As you have already been told in this thread you need to make sure you have modified your 3e recovery to allow cwm to work.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z

Check out TRusello's signature "3e recovery fix" also after you boot into recovery from rom manager you have to "reinstall packages" twice, then you will see all the options...

you need to reinstall packages in recovery twice.
also you need the to fix 3e recovery before you can flash the cwm .zip.
look @ the stickies in the general section. there is a thread on working around 3e recovery. it contains a link to a batch script that'll fix it
there is also odin(tethered) that can replace the kernel with one that has cwm baked in
and sgs kernel flasher in the market that can do the same from the phone as long as it's rooted.

bit.ly is great...
3e fix in my sig 100 hits to-date (dirty version)
3e fix in the 3e thread 1 hit (cleaner version)
lol

[Q] A newbie Q: is CMW a nandroid backup?

Very sorry for newbie Q. I've been using Android for one month now. Though I've rooted, and install CWM, it seems that my knowledge is fragmented. For instance, I installed ROM Manager and ClockWorkMod. Both have backup/restore option. Is Nandrloid backup similar to this? Or CWM is the nandroid backup?
Coz I'm thinking about flashing the baseband and it says i need to do nandroid backup.
thanks

The backup feature in CWM is called a nandroid backup

Yup, you are right! It's the same thing.

Two more questions:
1. I read from a few threads that restore function of CWM may not necessarily working. How do we know when we do the back up that it'll work when we need to restore?
2. The CWM that i downloaded is 3.0.8. I read somewhere that the newest is 3.2 something. How can i upgrade to that? It seems that 3.2 can solve this restore failure.
thanks

If you look in the CWM 3.2.0.0 thread, you'll notice there is a zip file, in that is the recovery image and a batch file that will install it for you.

I did trust CWM with backup of my system before i tried cyanmod ROM... I have three backups on my SD card and CWM restores fine, but system wont boot. So i had to build my phone all new again.
Dont trust CWM

After rebuilding you could have have restored the data backup (not system and boot) and you'd have been OK.

but the need to still rebuild still equates to CWM backups are useless.

That's only true for the original ROM, for custom ROM it's a perfect solution, you just have to flash the ROM again after the restore.

now, i'm confused. So, it's not enough that we restore but we need to flash it again? Like in nvflash or smartflash? Then what is it that we restore?
Also, I just flashed CMW 3.2. Do i need to create a new backup since currently my back up is from CMW 3.0.8?

By flash the ROM again, I meant run the zip file with the custom ROM on from Cwm. You will then have all your data and settings back.

So, if i want to go back to stock rom, i run the zip with stock rom from CWM? thanks.

Do you really have a zip file with stock rom? I don't think so.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using Tapatalk

One could be made though, I suppose.

Sorry I'm confused now
CWM backups don't work? is that why I can't see them when I open CW Rom Manager? I can see them on the SD card but not in the program...
If these backups do not work, is there another way of making backups that work? I don't want to be left with a bricked phone if I try out some ROMS...
I saw a youtube video that showed how to use NVflash, but it was for the G2X and incredibly complicated, battery was taken out, and the phone was plugged in/out of the pc several times, etc... Is theres something similar for the O2X?
Cheers

Yes, it's the link below. Unless I'm mistaken. But not sure if it's compatible with my country.

[Q] Finallly rooted my N1 - so what is next for a new ROM?

Well after having my N1 for two years (I bought it on launch day) I finally got up the never to root it using this process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
Had a few heart stopping moments as the script hung until I realised that while I had download the SDK to get the USB driver I hadn't actually installed the driver for the phone.
Confirmed that it was rooted by downloading Titanium Backup and doing a backup.
For a new ROM (as yet undecided) is a Titanium Backup good enough or should I also do the cyanogenmod clockworkmod recovery?
Should I be able to restore my apps and settings after the new ROM using the Titanium Backup?

You wanna do a Nandroid or Full Image Backup with Clockwork. Titanium is just as you said apps and data. Although, I think CWM has a system bu option. Don't use CWM anymore use Amon_Ra. So not up on steps. The post 3.0 CW's have had issues and are documented.
You can restore apps and data at any time with Titanium, but I think to do system stuff you need to be restoring to same rom.
I highly recommend Nandroids and sdcard backups before doing any new flashing.
Start with CM7 roms the stable ones, then move on. Read OP pages fully and scan threads front to back for info/problems etc

But i hv read many ppl complaining abt the problem with their sd card partition due to cwm? ??
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk

use the pre 3.0 versions

Let's try Amon_RA Recovery
Best recovery by far. Never any issues. Been using this version for months and months. Perfect with flashing, backing up, restoring, and partitioning.

are you experienced with fastboot commands adb etc

The downside with Amon_RA is it doesn't give you the option to wipe the /system partition. I have stuck with a pre-3.0 version of ClockworkMod for this reason. There is a new recovery out there called 4EXT that is based on ClockworkMod, but doesn't have the issue with corrupting partitions. He has also added a TON of new features. This does seem to be the best on out there now. He even just released a touch-based version. The thread is in the development section.

ROM Manager not kicking off backups

I am running WildChild's ICS for Vivid. I love it. But when I kick off a backup in Rom Manager it appears to do what it needs to then reboots into recovery and stops there. If I try to flash a recover in ROM Manager the only option I get is Holiday. I realize that may be fine but don't want to screw anything up. Is there a compatibility issue or is the problem between the chair and the keyboard

My advice is DO NOT use rom manager. Just use Nandroid backup from CWM.
