CWM Backup help needed

---

Hey,
(I currently use Hyperdroid ROM on my HD2 and since my WIFI connection to the router isnt working since yesterday i wanted to install a new ROM)
I already tried to do a Backup once, but it didn't work.

To create a complete backup of the phone I need to get into CWM. Normally you get there thrue ROM Manager or by "AD Recovery" in the Boot Loader.
For some reason both dont work. even though in installed CWM 3.1.0.0 with Rom Manager.
Last time I tried to do a Backup i flashed CWM in the bootloader, since it wouldn't start - not knowing i wasn't able to boot Android anymore.

Now my question: Where is my mistake? Do I need a certain file on my SD Card that i deleted mistakingly?

I hope my problem is understandable.

Thanks in advance

Why did you flash CWM through Rom Manager rather than using the Daf.exe which comes with the CWM package or the HD2 NAND toolkit? If I am not mistaken, Rom Manager and MAGLDR are not compatible (by which I mean flashing CWM through Rom Manager).

If you just want to install apps, use Titanium Backup from the Android Market, it's free and does the job well.

go there [RECOVERY][NAND|SD][cLK|MAGLDR] ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 "YES/NO" STABLE

follow teh instructions for the sd card version of cwm, (load teh extracted files to sd, simple)
magldr - ad sd
this boots cwm from the sd card
use that to make your backup
magldr - usb flasher - reflash the phone with the latest nand cwm and partition layout (that same thread, above)
restart the phone
magldr - ad recovery
cwm - reflash your rom
cwm - backups and restore - advanced restore - restore data and sd-ext

rom manager doesnt play nice with magldr, clk only.

I did, thats how i installed my rom. But I tried to backup that Rom and and then cwm wouldt start in MAGLDR, so i tried it over Rom manager. Now i know better.

If i do that, will I still be able to boot into Android afterwards?
