Nandroid problems?

[todivefor]

I have lost confidence in nandroid, and need help. I rooted using unrEVOked3. I did a nandroid backup before starting on the quest to install Froyo. I went back to stock and rooted with simple root. Installed clockworkmod recovery. I ran into some problems so restored my my nandroid backup. The restore worked, but with problems. None of my icons or widgets were restored. My wallpaper went from black to multicolored (default I think). I read that there were some problems with Clockworkmod, so I installed amonRA recovery. I have taken a nandroid backup, but leery of it working. Am I doing something wrong or was it a problem with unrEVOked? I would like to get an answer to this before Taking my next leap and not having a good way back.

so have you actually attempted to do a nand backup with amonRA recovery then? i didnt know about the problem with clockworkmod, but if thats true then that's your answer for using that recovery. i would just wait until they update it for the EVO. but amonRA should work if its been updated for the EVO.

I've never used clockwork recovery and have had perfect results with nandroid backups. Only thing that's never worked for me is a nandroid+ext backup.

I have backed up amon_RA, but have not done a restore. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and just give it a try.

I use Clockworkmod recovery and ROM Manager. I have been successfully doing nandroid backups and restores for weeks without any problems. Just an FYI: I went the SimpleRoot method and did nothing with unrEVOked.
