Default Weird problem with flashing after new sim

Hey everyone. Not really sure if anyone else had a problem so I figured I'd share. Like a week ago, I lost all service on my phone. Got in touch with T-Mobile and they confirmed my sim card went bad. For whatever reason I thought if they knew I had flashed the phone they might charge me for a new sim card, so I flashed my old rooted stock backup just to be safe. Had the sim changed and all was well. Had to sign in the phone again with Google but all was well. Until I tried to restore my backup... for somen reason it wouldn't work. I made sure the phone was still rooted, but it just wouldn't work. I was using Rom manager, and everytime it rebooted it came to a screen with the little Android and froze. Long story short, I found out that I had to reinstall Rom manager and busybox to get it all to work. Not sure why, but that seems to be what helped it all go through. Anyway, figured I'd share that in case anyone else had that issue in the future! Sorry its lengthy but I wanted to squeeze in the main points
