what do you mean?
when i opened rom manager and choose the rom i wanted to install it asked if i wanted to wipe and backup or something but i know i check both. then i install the zip in the recovery boot menu and rebooted and no luck. then i tried another rom and wiped before installing and still no luck.
At the very top of rom manager, you must flash 2.5.0.1 recovery. Did you do this first?

So you flashed the clockworkmod recovery, booted into recovery and made a nandroid of your stock rom. Then, what rom were trying to flash?

This exact same thing happened to me. What I did to fix it was pull the battery, then wipe everything (dalvik, data, cache), and then rebooted. My phone was able to boot then.
I'm having the same problem with rom manager. I just rooted my desire using the unrevoked method, then ran rom manager. I did install the recovery mode first, then backed up the rom. How my desire is just rebooting to the htc screen. How do I get out of this?
Many thanks,
Joe
dumb question, but how did you wipe everything?

Hey, that's exactly the same issuing I'm experiencing now. Did you solve it? And if yes, how?
Well, a few hours later I solved it by restoring a backup and then booting went well. Also described in a thread on androidforums dot com (I can't enter the link here due to not having posted enough messages) .

I don't know if this helps, but I'm pretty sure nandroids are specific to which recovery they were created with, I read that somewhere a few days ago. If you did not have clockwork before, I would try getting the recovery you used to make the nand, install that recovery and then restore the nand. Then try the whole wipe everything and get clockwork and go to town. If you haven't tried RA/Darch 1.7 recovery, I would recommend it, I personally like it better than clockwork, it seems faster, and simpler to use.
Exactly What "Il Duce" Said Will Fix Your Problem, Same Exact Thing Happened To Me, What I Did Was Go Back To Previous Version Of Rom Manager Then Flash Alternate Recovery, AND Regular Clockwork Recovery, Should Be Good After That!

Got notification to update to the latest CM, clicked ok on everything, phone rebooted, now stuck on boot screen.
Can enter CWM but nothing functions, cannot choose update from SD or anything.
Please help..
(Did search, probably not good enough, but nothing came up. Am also new to the Rom Manager thing. Please don't flame if this is answered somewhere already..)
Did you make a nandroid backup? I always make one 'just in case' before I update.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Am not sure I did; I think it asked me if I wanted to back up the current rom and I think I clicked not to. Either way, I cannot do anything in CWM, what ever I choose gets stuck at the little hat with the arrow and I have to pull the battery.
It's not a big deal (I hope at least) to revert back to an original image, as it's my back-up phone so I don't use it daily. Hope it's easier than that though..
I would say reverting back to an original image via the passimg trick would be your best option right now (unless your bootloader is unlocked?)

It is unlocked. Any magic trick..?!
EDIT: I can enter the options in CWM. Being used of the Atrix I was pressing the on/off button instead of the trackball to choose. Ffs.. Anyway, I tried wiping the data, no go; still stuck on bootscreen
I would try restoring a backup if you have one. If not, just do a wipe and clean install...
Unlocked bootloader could've been used to install a new recovery, though that now looks it was operator error... xD

You're welcome!
I have all the beer I need, but thanks for the offer!! xD
I have kind of the same issue but I am still stuck..
I have an unlocked bootloader and rooted atrix, everything was fine until I installed gingerblur through the cwm ( I chose to install from the sd card ), once I did that it finished what it was doing then I used the reboot feature through cwm. My phone is now not moving past the motorola dual core screen. It still says unlocked at the top left and I can still enter cwm and fastboot. I have read alot about trying to flash through fastboot, but I am sorry I am a newb and do not know how to flash through fastboot. I am desperate for help... any help would greatly be appreciated.
If you can still access recovery, I would try a full wipe and instal again...
Thank you for your response... I did as you said and wiped everything... found a .zip file for android 2.3.4 gingerbread and installed that through cwm. I now have a new question... what is the best way to create a nandroid backup?? I went in android recovery mode on the boot screen and proceeded to backup through the menus and saved it to my external sd card... the only problem is that when I tried to restore back to the backup I made before it kept giving errors while trying to install the backup file. Any ideas how I can successfully create a android backup on this ATRIX 4g??

You can start by going to the atrix forum and not the nexus one.

I just rooted my HTC Vivid and installed CWM. First I wanted to start off by creating a backup of my rom, so I selected the "Backup Current Rom" option. I installed the the necessary utilities to create a backup. Finally, I was given the option to create my backup name. But when I select OK to begin the backup process, the phone reboots, and gets stuck at the HTC loading screen and doesn't move. Is there something I missed in order to create a backup of my current ROM? I've ran it like 10 times and it just keeps getting stuck at the HTC title screen and gets frozen there, forcing me to remove the battery to boot the phone.
Sorry if this question has already been answered, I just couldn't find this topic specific to the Vivid anywhere else.
Do not use CWM. Use another recovery like TWRP or WCX Recovery.

So I went ahead and installed TWRP using GooManager and it still just sticks at the HTC Splash Screen when I try to boot into Recovery. Any other ideas?
*EDIT: Actually, it started working when I flashed it with a different app. I think I'll stick with TWRP. Thanks!!
Yea you gotta use fastboot or the flash image gui app to flash it. There's also a kit in the dev forum that comes with recoveries and flashes them too if you didn't know

I have an HTC One on sprint, running a CM11 nightly. While I liked it for a while, due to business aspects, I need to go back to iphone. I am just gonna trade someone I know for my HTC for their iphone. I guess what i was wondering is what is the process of returning it back to stock? They still want root access, just not a custom ROM. I'm S-ON, HBOOT 1.56.000, Radio, 1.00.20.1100, and OS 4.06.651.4.
I'd like a step by step process hopefully (not an expert on androids, more used to iphones). But i do have some experience with cmd. I was also wondering if I turn it back to stock, will i lose all of my data (contacts, photos,etc.) I know you lose apps, but when I flashed to CM11, I backed up with TWRP, and then had to use CWM, so i couldn't restore my contacts. I do have a backup of my original ROM before i went to CM11 in TWRP, but I had to flash to CWM, so I'm not sure if it's still there.
Also, if they wanted to keep the CM11 on it, would there be any problems switching phone numbers and whatnot on it? I'd assume not because it still has an IMEI, but just wanted to make sure.
Find a flashable zip of twrp and if you didn't delete it ur backup of ur stock rooted should work...u have to have Sprint base Rom to swap phones so NO cm11 will not work when you go to trade phones

I tried to reflash twrp. It wouldnt work. it wouldnt recognize touches.
So if I want it all stock, except for root, can I use an RUU? I know it wipes everything, but better than nothing. plus i could sync with htc manager and get everything i had back.

what version of twrp did you flash, should be 2.6.3.0 or higher. thus the touch problems, you don't need to ruu.(openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img)

tried to no avail. I tried and it was stuck on HTC logo for 15 minutes. I reflashed to CM11, and im downloading the RUU now to completely wipe/restore it. Unless i did something wrong? I erased cache using adb, then booted up, restored my stuff, and it said successful, but it was on the htc logo. I tried again to the same thing. then i reflashed cm11 and it worked. did i forget to do a factory reset before i restored everything? it said it wiped stuff before it restored it.

after you erased cache did you flash recovery, then reboot recovery and restore a backup
when you are on the htc logo hold the power button down til it reboots and see if it goes past the htc screen
you don't have to factory reset to restore a rom just hit restore and select the backup

yes,
Installation:
Make sure fastboot is unchecked in power options and turn phone completely off
Boot into HBOOT then Fastboot
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot erase cache"
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
OR
Flash via Rom Manager(must have root already).
Downloads:
You can now flash in Rom Manager in rom if rooted
Use this (the recovery img) - http://sonic-developers.com/testing/mythi/m8/

Awesome! It's great to see cwm finally here. How is it running? Does it have the same issues that the other two recoveries are having with restoring backups? If not I'd flash this immediately, but I'd like to see some feed back first.

No, didn't hurt. It boots, it flashes, it backs up and restores. Aroma installer looks like a bad tv screen, the same thing on latest PhilZ recovery and usb option still doesn't connect as on any other recovery.
As I didn't much more, time will show what else works or not. I like the idea of swiping, also scrolling up and down is a little pain until you foind out how it works.
Guys you can flash that and use it without nuking your devices. Some more feedback would be welcome. You shouldn't miss the rainbow mode... :laugh:

Android_secure.img? Did you back up that particular directory? If it restores boot.img, system and data that should be enough to restore your device completely.
Android_secure is being skipped here as well, after these three particular backups have been restored. So it's neither important, nor needed!
For backups I'm using online nandroid backup. Very comfortable as you don't need to boot into recovery to do a nandroid backup and it can be customized the hell out of it. No need for any settings in recovery (missing here anyways) so. Give Nandroid Manager a go as well on your device if you need single files being restored.
Ey and I LIKE SWIPING with this recovery. It's the future... Touch was yesterday.
I'll keep it on my device and walk through the functions the next days.
now people ... i need detailed details of whats working and whats not ... i want this to get stable :laugh:
