Root Rom Manager Backups

BankZ said:
I deleted update.zip and re-downloaded it and still no go. The SD card is not full. I can still do backups from the bootstrap app.

Been trying to read up for you. It looks like this is a common occurrence. Fix seem like it is to erase the current recovery and reinstall but the option is no longer in ROM Manager. Alternate fix is to flash an older version of Clockwork Recovery and then reflash the current version. Unfortunately all the old versions error out.

I wish I could be more help. I am trying everything I can think of but mine just works....It would be easier for me to figure out if I was having the same problem as you.

Man thing is I want to do a custom rom. So, I can do that from the bootloader? just download it from ROM Manager and then copy it some where?

You bet, you can do everything from recovery. You don't really need ROM Manager for anything on the DX. What ROM are you wanting to try?

Different ROM's have different install requirements. It's important to throughly read and follow the directions for each ROM. For Rubix,

1) Download the ROM and place on the SDcard anywhere you want.

2) Open Bootstrap app and select Boostrap recovery, grant permission and select reboot recovery.

3) In recovery select Backup and Restore

4)Select Backup and let it do its thing

5)After backup is complete press the POWER button until you are back to the main menu

6)Select wipe data/factory reset, scroll down to YES and select

7) Select wipe cache partition, scroll down to YES and select

8)Select install zip from SDcard and navigate to the Rubix zip and install

9) After install is complete select Reboot. First boot will take a while.

Yep, I was gonna say this after reading the first few comments in this thread. The same held tru for the D2, as long as you have Bootstrap, flash bootstrap recovery, once it says success, reboot recovery, make your backups and restores from there. I pretty much got used to doing that with the D1. Everytime, after froyo, if you hit reboot recovery from rom manager, you'd be stuck with the M logo.
 
it looks like it downloaded a 8.4MB file named 9SyMEb. Should I rename it and add zip to the end?

NO, that is not a ROM. Not sure what it is. If your downloading a ROM its going to be 70MB-130MB. What is it you are trying to download?

RubiX Focused. Is that a good one?

It asks if I want a keyboard and camera fix. I pick default for both.
 
I guess I'm lazy. Rom mgr nearly does everything for me and I love it. I just start it off, put the phone down and watch Star Trek TNG or talk to my friend, GMB on Gtalk. ;) Works for me.

I don't know that the GMB convo is mandatory, but I think Star Trek is. ;). Sorry I couldn't help you with it.
 
Well I found it, just wanted to get it from someplace safe :)

I got it installed and like it so far :)


I did a fullback using titanium backup. what did I need to restore to get my call log back?

RubiX is one of the best. I just ran 1.8.6 since its release and just flashed 152 Blurry earlier this morning.

You really shouldn't be restoring bits and pieces of your back up without expecting problems. How important is your call log to you?

Soryy I was MIA for a minute there, have a sick baby :(
