Hello,
Earlier today I was running CleanROM 5.6 and decided I wanted to try SynergyROM r484. I used TWRP v2.2.0 to backup my CleanROM5.6, and then I wiped and restored everything I needed too and flashed SynergyROM. I forgot to export my contacts from my old ROM as I had some new numbers added, but when I tried restoring back to CleanROM5.6...half way TWRP just restarted. I restored back to SynergyROM r484 and it worked fine, but my CleanROM 5.6 backup seems to be buggy.
It's not really a big deal lol, but I'm just wondering if there is a way to fix this? Should I perhaps consider updating my current version of TWRP? It's been a big buggy, not allowing me to Format Data and I have to uncheck force md5 check(otherwise nothing will flash and I only get them from reputable devs,etc).
Thanks for reading,
Zealex.

Hi, I'm currently using the latest ClockworkMod as my recovery. I've never had any problem with it (had it on my og evo as well), but I'm hearing a lot of great things about twrp recovery, so I'd like to make the switch. I'm all clear on most of the process, but is it correct that I'll need to make new nandroid backups? If so, should I delete my cwm nands? How would I go about doing that? And am I correct that I'd need to revert to my stock (first) nandroid, flash the new recovery from there, make a new twrp nandroid, and then go back to cm7? Just want to be sure, as I know that nandroids are a lifeline and I don't want to screw anything up. Thanks in advance!

no, you can just make a nand with the new recovery of your current setup, no need to revert

Sounds good. What to do though if I need to ever go back to stock rom? (Unlikely anyhow). Will I be able to find a stock rooted rom in the dev forums?

Just got my Prime and updated to .28 then rooted it ,unlocked the bootloader,installed CWM and finally installed TWRP. Booted into TWRP and made a backup. Now I want to install a ROM once I do that and I want to restore to the backup of the orig. with unlocked bootloader can I do that (use that backup) or will I brick it by using this backup...
Thanks in advance.

You can absolutely use twrp to restore a backup you have made with it. If I understand correctly you want to flash a new rom to play around with it, but ultimately go back to where you are at right now. Yes, you can do that.

I would be a little hesitant to use TWRP at this point. Some users, including myself, have been experiencing soft bricks when restoring. The problem seems to be that the kernel is not properly restored for some users using TWRP. If you really feel compelled to use this, I would have a kernel.zip on your sdcard (like one of motley's) so you can boot your restored rom. Otherwise you are going to have to restore using fastboot. Personally, I would rather use CWM until they have figured why some people are having this problem.
Interesting, was unaware of the twrp issue. The latest crm is unable to create backups. Guess i could use an older version of crm.

If you check the TWRP thread in the dev section there are people complaining about this. I hope they sort it out soon because it has some really cool features.
I am using Roach's repacked CWM touch which works just fine. You can d/l it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601942

There's the million dollar question! First I would decide if you want a stock or non-stock rom. If you want the ASUS experience, I would try Virtuous. Diamondback makes solid roms. If not, your choices are basically AOKP, CM9, team Eos or Gummy. I have used them all a lot and prefer CM9. I am using Makelegs' CM9 Skankwich kang and think it is really solid. I will be sticking with it for a while, which is something I have found difficult to do! AOKP is really good rom too, but you will have to look on Rootzwiki for that.
A lot of it comes down to personal preference. If you have the patience I would give them all a go and see which works best for you. Flashing is generally very safe as long as you have a backup and a rom on your sdcard. I have had a load of fun messing with all the different roms.

I made a backup of my HTC EVO LTE Stock ROM in TWRP, I flashed CMX, now I want to go back to Stock, so I went to TWRP>Install, I can see my backup folder under /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/name of backup.. but I when I select the folder it does not give me the option to Install it. It just opens as an empty folder. I did notice the folder is not in a .zip format. Is this the reason why? Did I miss something during the back up process? And if so, how can I fix it? Is it as easy as just converting the regular folder into a .zip folder then try to install it this way?.. Please tell me not everything is lost, lol.. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

There should be a restore option on the main screen in twrp recovery. If you hit that it will allow you to choose what file you want to restore

Need to Restore But Getting Black Screen
Okay so my situation is similiar to the OP.
I was running CM10 then a custom sense Rom.
I made an original backup, but when I restore it I get a black screen at boot.
Typically when I flash a Rom I have to fastboot flash the boot.img which is no biggie, but there's no boot.img that I can find in the twrp backup.
Might be just as easy to flash a stock Rom, but not sure exactly where to find one. Everything I've found is rooted or custom in some way.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

The ROM I'm trying to restore is the original state of my phone. Would this be a stock ROM with a versioning date of October 28th(the day I got my phone and made the backup), current stock ROMs, or launch stock ROMs. Basically will any boot.img work from a stock ROM?
I do see the boot sector being written during the restore process. There is a boot.something.win file in the backup folder for the backup. Can this be fastbooted? I'm a bit timid to try that, but thinking it may be worth a shot...

Thanks for the quick reply, QuickWizard is very fitting. I actually got it after I finished going my own route though.
I grew a pair and went with my got and I went ahead and flashed the boot.emmc.win from the twrp backup in flashboot. It successfully got me booted and logged into the phone. That said the stock rom is so crappy...
But, I was having issues on CM10 with MHL, on a "stock rom with goodies" I was having radio issues with the latest firmawares, so now it's back to my rooted stock backup and I'm doing the HTC System OTA update... Should be interesting what happens next...
Again thank you all with the quick replies!
Hello all. Happy Saturday!
I came on the site after a few months searching for a solution to my problem... I seen that others also had the same problem even on Google
First off I I stalled ICS from cyanogen a few days ago but I feel the phone a bit laggy especially when I type or scroll thru pages.
It doesn't feel fluid, I did do a factory full wipe and it formatted fine and deleted cache ..
So after I felt the problem I decided to format and delete cache again and reinstall ICS from cyanogen to see if it would fix the problem...
But when I now go into clock work recovery and choose the wipe option it starts to format but then when it gets down to SD card data it says something like it couldn't format or mount sdcard/ data! And then stops..
So I decided to Install aokp jb ROM. Thinking maybe that would solve the problem
It installed fine but the problem carried over and its driving me nutsoooo.. it also seems like I can no longer make backups either..
Alittle help would be extremely helpful. Thanks all
It's not a problem.
It's a null error. Means nothing. Stop worrying about it
Raise yer mizzenmast and swab 'er poop deck!
As far as i know it does that so as to not erase your external sd card. At least that's what I heard. From a birdie.

Hey guys, thanks for the quick response.
But as I was saying i don't remember it doing that with previous ROMs.
And it doesn't seem to be making backups either. Or it won't even go back to my previous backups that I made in the past
I never had that problem before all my backups used to work.
Which recovery can we use besides cwm. On the i777?

The 6.x versions of CWM recovery uses blobs. It's a different backup scheme all together. Your old backups made with a 5.x or earlier version of CWM recovery will not restore in 6.x version. You would have to first flash a kernel with a 5.x version of CWM recovery, then restore the old backups. You should be able to find a CWM flashable version of the kernel you need, or CWM flash a complete firmware with the correct kernel.
