I have seen a lot of folks having all kind of strange issues with AR recovery after s-off. Myself included. Most notably:
1) No being able to mount the SD card getting error:
E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblkp2 ( File exists )
2) unable to preform nandroid back up stating oops an error occurred, please check the log. well there is no log.
3) cant move the error log, gives another error.
After hours of trying to do everything under the sun, this is extremely frustrating; nothing works, but....
CWM touch. I can mount the SD card, and do nandroid back ups.
Is anyone else having issues with AR recovery?

SOLUTION FOR NANDROID backups and restores ONLY ( suggestion thanks to: a.mcdear & Mikej69 ; give credit where credit is due )
WARNING THIS WILL ERASE YOUR EXTERNAL SD MEMORY CARD
Some steps can be omitted since I have CWM touch installed.
**An important note about CWM: For the Rezound there is a charging bug. This bug prevents the phone from charging if you happen to let the battery die. This happened to me and sux big time.**
OPTION 1
1) boot to hboot usb mode
2) flash AR 3.15
2a) ( option from scotty1223 ) within AR choose wipe sd card
3) Reboot to your ROM
4) Navigate under SETTINGS -> SD and phone storage
5) Choose Unmount SD card
6) Choose Erase card
7) reboot into recovery and run your backups and restores; they should work
OPTION 2 usb mounting
Within AR recovery choose partition SD card with all default settings ( that resolved the error when mounting the SD card within AR recovery, however i cannot view the files on a PC when mounted in AR recovery still ). Others are claiming that it works, so i believe that, just me having issues.
If anyone needs AR 3.14, you can get it here
