I am trying to get back my original backup and everythime I try it says:
Checking MD5 sums…
Erasing boot before restore…
Restoring boot image…
Error while flashing boot image!
I think my HBOOT isnt the write version but im not sure.
Did you change the name of it and use invalid characters, such as a space? Or seems your backup may be corrupted.

What recovery are you currently using? Clockwork? If so, what version?
Well, do you have signature verification off? And what's your bootloader say? Have you switched recoveries in the process?

Yes they are off, What info do i need form my bootloader, And yes I went from Clock work to the green one that starts with a A then back to Clockwork.
Well thinking back, bootloader wouldn't matter, as long as you're rooted. And well are you trying to restore an amon_ra backup from clockwork?

You can't switch recoveries like that. The recovery you used to backup is the one you must use to restore. Backup with clockwork you have to use clockwork to restore you can't use RA.

Not sure I'm following ya but if you want to go back to green aka RA then there is a thread in DEV. on how to do it. The pc36img is the easy way. I think its pc36img any way can't quite remember. You put it on your SD boot to hboot and it will ask if you want to flash it. Basically

I just made a backup and none of them will restore. No matter how old or new
How are you doing it? Are you choosing to install zip from sd card? If so... that wont work. Go into backup and restore and restore from there. Make sure to wipe everything first.

I just tried flashing the new wimax update and it went through and succeeded, but now my phone reboots after a minute or 2 once it's fully booted. If I'm in recovery mode it doesn't have that problem at all. I'm using baked 1.5.

Did you try flashing an older version or a nandroid? If you are using clockwork make sure signature checking is turned on too, you could have a corrupted file.

I tried flashing an older version and that didn't work either. What is this thing about nandroid? How do I go about that?
Edit: I fixed it by restoring google proprietary stuff(forgot the name) and restored nand. Which one fixed it? I have no idea, but it basically restored me to factory 2.1, but with root access. Mods please lock/ delete this. It's in the wrong forum and I apologize. Thank you

A nandroid is a backup of your system you can make from the recovery, it's always a good idea to make one before you flash anything. I'm not sure if that covers your radios though.
Do you use titanium backup or anything? Without knowing how your phone is set up (what recovery you are using, etc) the only thing I can think of would be to flash the engineering bootloader. That should fix it but you would have to reinstall your ROM afterwards.

The nandroid restore worked because I had a backup I made while following the guide. I fixed it doing that, but while trying to update the radio to the current one again figuring if it messed up I can restore it and again the same problem came up, but this time nandroid restore wont work and it's telling me to use adb restore, but adb says your device is not found.
BTW all of my phones stuff come directly from the idiot proof guide(recovery etc)
bump... I'm sorry I'm sitting here with a semi broken phone. Is it possible to download someone else's nandroid back up and install it on mine? I know it will fix my problem as it already did, but for some reason now it's telling me to do it with adb, but my usb seems to not be working either.
I'm still some what newby, as much as I don't like to admit it..
I'm not sure what I've done wrong.. I went to restore and clicked on the last file I backed up.. Yet, I'm stuck at checking md5 sums. How long does this usually take? I'm at about 15 minutes of waiting. Is this normal?
It should normally go pretty quickly. Did you edit anything in your backup before you tried to restore it?

Nope, I didn't change anything.
I've tried from both Clockwork and from Rom Manager. No luck either way.

Try that, than report back. use Amo-Ra.

It's telling me before I back up I have to have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing.
On the very top of rom manager, flash ClockworkMod Recovery , than do the amo-ra.
Let me ask this. Do I even need to flash to my stock rom before I flash to a new rom? Currently I'm on Fresh. I want to flash to Vael. Is it required to restore?
No. just make sure to do a nandroid back with Amo-ra and make sure to back up your Wimax image with it. Before flashing do at least wipe everything twice. Data,cach,dalvic.
Ok so I've been using clockwork since I rooted but now I want to switch to Amon Ra cause I hear its better. The recovery works because I can back up and flash stuff, but for some reason I can't restore, it always says something went wrong, check the recovery log. Is it because I rename the backups?

It could be. If you rename a backup, it cannot have any spaces in the name, or any odd characters. I suggest renaming it to something simple, with no punctuation, and no spaces. Try that, and see if it'll restore.
didnt work :/
you arent trying to recover CWM backups with RA are you?
No, these are backups done through Amon Ra

What options did you select when creating the backup? You may want to try re flashing your recovery, and see if it works after that. Sometimes reflashing the recovery can clear up a bunch of odd recovery related issues.

For one of them I backed up all of it (clicked every check) and for another I only backed up the original 3 it selects for you; neither of them worked... Ok I'll try that
When you make a backup using amon RA, the name of the nandroid appears as such: BDAS-20110509-0440. The prefix tells you what was backed up. For instance, the BDAS in the above example tells me that I made a backup of the boot, data, android.secure and system. Because I flash a lot of roms, I rename my backups in this manner: BDAS-SALVAGEMOD-0440. If you don't add any special characters, your backup should restore if you've renamed it. If your renamed backup is similar to mine and it still fails to restore then I recommend that you re-flash amon RA as suggested by my good friend k2buckley. Specifically, v2.3. You can download it from the link below.

Alright thanks a lot guys it worked when I re-flashed the recovery through bootloader. For some reason, ROM manager isn't flashing recoveries for me anymore.

Some users have had issues with rom manager "not flashing correct," but I've never had a problem with it. Glad its working though.

Yes, you did a backup before flashing anything, right? You could also reflash the ROM which is probably still on your SD card. Boot into Clockwork with 3 finger and reflash ROM.
when restoring nandroid back ups does it have to be with same recovery version i made back up with? i had to unroot my evo from cyanogen mod 7 to take it to sprint. now im trying to restore my evo back to how it was. the nandroid restoring keeps failing. this is the log

Not the case for me, I made a backup with the backup/restore feature running ClockWorkMod 2.6.0.1 (somewhere around that version ) and was successfully able to restore it using ClockWorkMod 3.0.0.1.

Restoring backup has nothing to do with unrooting anyway. When you run the ruu, its going to wipe everything. And next time, use amon ra

Because the system data will be different, and can and most likely will cause problems.
The best thing too do is backup your launcher settings and apps via titanium, then restore them on the new evo, though when restoring the app, ONLY do apps+data, NOT system settings.
The problem lies within your first post you cannot wipe boot with clockwork. You need to download and flash vrsuperwipe or calkulins format all. Then restore your backup because it is failing to flash your boot.img on top of an unwiped boot.

I'm going to repeat what I just said; it doesn't matter. When you unropot, everything will be wiped anyway. You will loose your data and have no way of getting it back unless you back up apps and texts before running ruu
