Problem with Rom Manager
 

I recently used Unrevoked to root my Evo. I then installed Rom Manager and tried to backup my phone. I open Rom Manager, click "Backup Current Rom" and accept the default name. My phone them attempts to restart, and gets stuck on the bootup screen (white with the words htc EVO 4G). I can get the phone running by removing the battery. But I must be doing something wrong. Any advice?

Check and make sure you are S-Off with file manger on sd card. Also what recovery did you use to wipe with? Clockworkmod does not work vey good try Amon recovery 1.80 once you get figured out.

My phone is s-off. I haven't wiped with anything. I am simply trying to backup my current, rooted, stock ROM. I'm a total noob, and am taking baby steps. I eventually want to try flashing some ROMs, but not until I am sure I can go back to a previous setup if things go wrong.

Re: Problem with Rom Manager
 

So then you are on Stock Rom. Look in Rom Manger and see what recovery it says you are on.

Re: Problem with Rom Manager
 

Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1

FWIW, When I go into "Manage And Restore Backups", I don't see anything listed.

ETA: When I try to "Fix Permissions" I get "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!". That seems relevant.

try installing Superuser from market it allows for permissions in root.

Re: Problem with Rom Manager
 

I have the Superuser Permissions App, which says Rom Manager has superuser permissions. Maybe I should uninstall and reinstall Rom Manager.

You could try but I think something else is going on. Have you changed kernels? Set Setcpu too high?

When u try to back up with rom manager, and save ur current r0m r u putting a space between the words? If so that's why its not saving. Put - or _ between the words or just use 1 word.

I really haven't done anything to my phone other than Unrevoking. I haven't flashed any ROMs. Superuser privilidges have been granted to Wireless Tethering and Titanium Backup. Oh, and I installed Busybox, as is required by Titanium.

Re: Problem with Rom Manager
 

I just accept the default name, which doesn't have any spaces. What is supposed to happen after you enter a name? Should it reboot? Or offer some options?

Re: Problem with Rom Manager
 

Just flash anew custom Rom and see if the problem continues.

I had the fix error with a custom Rom and just ended up flashing another Rom
Ava, fresh,myn, Sprint lovers are worth the try
Google sync and app sync via app brain will make your life a lot easier if you flash often.

Re: Problem with Rom Manager
 

Maybe I am a coward, but I don't want to flash any Roms until I have a working backup.

Re: Problem with Rom Manager
 

No spaces like 101810 or 18182010 try that or 10-18-2010

Re: Problem with Rom Manager
 

Using a simple, space-free name did not help. Reinstalling Rom Manager also didn't help. Perhaps I should just find a different way to do backups.

Re: Problem with Rom Manager
 

Do you have Quickboot? If so then in Rom Manger change the recovery to the other RA recovery and then use Quickboot to get in Recovery. Then scroll down to Backup/Restore and create backup. Then Reboot at to of screen after backing out of Backup/Restore.

Thanks.

Re: Problem with Rom Manager
 

Is it working yet?

Re: Problem with Rom Manager
 

I haven't had time to work on it. I will definitely update this thread if I make any progress.
