Problem with ROM Manager

[jaguar10301]

Ok so basically I took my CDMA GN and put CM9 on it a few weeks ago, I created a nandroid backup with Rom Manager before I switched to CM9. Anyways I backed up my CM9 ROM (nandroid) and then came back to ICS tonight. got all my apps backed up and set up how i wanted them on my stock rom, anyways I was trying to back up my stock ICS ROM again so I could try some other roms or launchers, anyways so here is the problem.

Whenever I go to backup my rom with CW Rom Manager now when it restarts to back it up, i get the dead android. It worked fine when I backed up CM9 and worked fine when I restored my stock rom, any ideas?

You have to disable the stock recovery in the system folder. System/recovery-from-boot.p just rename it and you'll have to flash cwm again.

I didn't do that, but I did stop trying to rename the file (i wasn't putting any spaces in, but the standard name seemed to work).

seems to be working now guys, thanks, let you know if i have any other problems.

A custom Recovery like CWM won't "stick" if you have a stock Kernel/Image on it. As soon as you go back to stock with stock Boot Image/Kernel/System it will overwrite the custom Recovery and you will left with the factory recovery. To solve this, re-flash CWM and re-flash a Rom and/or custom kernel of your choice.

Or you can rename your stock recovery before you reboot.

Having an issue with ROM Manager.
When I start it to do a backup- it freezes. I uninstalled and reinstalled, still same issue,
It backed up my Stock Rom before I flashed Liquid, now I can not get it to start to make a back up of Liquid.
Is there something else to use? or how to do I fix RM?

Never mind my issue, needed a battery pull and it works just fine now.

did you try booting into recovery manually? (power down, then power on with vol up and vol down and power all held together)

It sounds like you lost root. You will need to re root.

When I try to root it says it is already done ?

Are you using wug's toolkit? I would suggest going here and using this method.

Staring with step 8. Basically download the su.zip to your phone. Boot into recovery and install the su.zip
