Default [Q] Unable to restore ROM after installing CM7 nightly

Hey, I've been running the stock build on my rooted O2X for a while now and tried the CM7 nightly's after having a bad experience with CM7 RC1 a month-ish ago.


I backed up with CWM(via rom manager), and CM7 works fine.

But i don't like how it remaps the external storage and for some other reasons is does not work for me.

So i'm trying to go back and its not working.

It says its restored successfully but boot stays on the LG screen with the progress bar underneath. only a battery pull gets me out, which i have probably done 20 times now.

-It was initially unable to unmount /system, but after i fixed permissions that error was gone but it did not fix the problem.

- I went into advanced restore and did each one separately, they all claim to have worked successfully. but no dice

-I used back2ext3 hoping that was the root of the problem, but no luck there.

i wipe data, cache as well as dalvik every time, but still nothing.


What is up with this? is it possible that my image is corrupted or something? but why is it saying restored successfully?

CM7 nightly installs fine, so im using it in the interim, but its not optimal.

thanks for any ideas.

I bet you have an older version of CWM.

Make sure you're on at least v4 then try restoring.
