I wish SPRecovery would have used the correct version of nandroid like Koush does. If SPRecovery used a proper version of nandroid then all nandroid ROM's would be compatible with it. Also the reason his recovery is needed is because to flash the CyanMod ROM you need certs disabled but SPRecovery doesn't do this so it won't allow you to flash it. This isn't Koush trying to lock things down. It's actually Koush doing everything the correct way and well SPRecovery doing it a......different way. Oh and he just added ROM manager support!

I have chosen to use OFFICIAL Nandroid, as that is the tool of choice for every other recovery image (like Amon Ra) out there, and it IS fastboot compatible. No offense to the Sholes.info folks intended, but I don't want to go against the Android modding community grain, and I need a recovery system that works well on any phone. These backups are incompatible with SPRecovery backups. If you want to convert an SPRecovery backup, simply restore it via SPRecovery, flash my recovery, and choose Backup!
