Well recently i got cyanogen rom on my atrix hd . I regret it. I lost all contacts and everything. Fortunately i have a stock rom back up. UNfortunately the backup is for safestrap and for some reason after flashing cm it went to clockwork recovery. The backup is on my pc by the way. So i tried to install safestrap from the app but it just goes to clockwork and i cant find any recovery folder for my backup PLUS my sd card is busted. So heres where I need help either i need safestrap which isnt working or a way to get my backup from my pc to clockwork recovery and hope its compatible. Any help is appreciated.

i just rooted my phone and everything was fine i then decided to install a custom lockscreen from fresh using the pre kitchen .2 i installed it and my phone rebooted but is now in a boot loop
anything is appreciated
just flash the rom again. that should fix it.
Restore the Nandroid backup you made before flashing the lockscreen.
I cant get it to boot into recovery
Edit: ok i got it into recovery but for some reson i took out my micro sd card and misplaced it
if someone could send me a copy of their nandroid backup could i flash it from a different micro sd card?
from recovery flash a different rom, or the same rom over top of itself.
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
Hello All,
I rooted for the first time my Note 2 weeks ago, just with the Basic CMW and proper root to my kernel. It worked fine, but I wanted more, so I decided to try RR by Eybee.
Downloaded the RR v20, passed it to my SD Card.
I wiped the phone through CMW.
Flashed the .zip file.
I'm now stuck on the initial loading screen of Rocket Rom, it just keeps restarting.
I know I ****ed up someway, and would really appreciate someone's help...

I hope you did a nandroid back up in recovery before you flashed? Because if you didn't you are indeed up creek without a paddle. It is always recommended to do a backup before you flash anything through recovery. If you didnt then go on you're computer download another rom to you're ad card go into recovery and flash it or get the original ruu rom and flash that.

No I have not.. I did full sys+data recovery through Titanium backup. I can't access CMW , to be honest I only did it through the phone itself... I can only access the Download Mode and tried to flash back the ROM I used to root the phone, which was useless.
Am I missing some really obvious way to access CMW without being able to initialize the phone?
...
Edited:
Found it:
Going to wipe, resintall root that worked and go from there ty.
Edited:
Reinstalled Rocket Rom through CMW (Up Vol+Power Button+Menu)
Wiped.
Reinstalled.
Working
Hello everyone!
I just installed CM9 by the clockworkMod method (after doing a backup of my former official ROM) and it worked great exept I forgot to save my contacts...
So I did another backup of the CM9 and tried to restore the previous ROM, so I would be able to save my contacts and restore the CM9 again.
BUT the restore didn't go well and my phone crashed...
Now I can access both download mod and Clockwork recovery mod, I can see my 2 backups in clockwork recovery mod but when I try, I have the following message:
"data.img not found. Skipping ...
datadata.img not found. Skipping...
[ and it's going on for a few lines...]
Restore complete!"
but it's way too fast (couple seconds) and when I try to reboot I'm stuck on samsung logo.
I tried some solution to unbrick I9000 but nothing worked and I'm kind of desperate after some hours trying to fix it^^
I have clockwork recoverymod v 2.5.1.2 if that's any help.
What can I do to repair my phone?
CM9 use CWM 6.x if I'm not mistaken. If your backup was created with CWM 5.x or other version, please try flash the same CWM version first before you restore your backup.
If still fail, mount the storage via CWM and copy clockworkmod folder from your phone into your computer, you can check what file is missing/etc.
Hey
Or ur can downgrade and root (like 2.3.6 link given below)
then restore from recovery and save ur contacts...
Thanks for your answers. I finally get to re-flash CM9 and back up my contacts by another way.
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.
