[Q] rom manager issue

[OMG_VTEC]

i havent been able to restore any backups for a while now, not an issue since im not as bad with the crackflashing addiction lol
well went to try a restore, didnt work-error while flashing boot img
tried advanced restore and got the same messge.

how do i check to see why it isnt working properly?
ive never been able to get an answer for this issue before so a little help would be awesome

reason i tried a backup, i did a flashover on cm7, and lost some(quite a few) of my pictures...so i tried the backup and got that crap again
so ya...not sure whats up

shouldn't your pictures have been on your sd card?


anyways, you didnt really give any helpful information as to what your problem is, but maybe you could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114

yes they were on my sd card, thats what doesnt make a lot of sense about it
and its not say md5 mismatch, i told you everything my phone said...all it says is "error flashing boot img"
if i had helpful info pertaining to this issue id be a lot closer to solving it...

Yeah, There shouldn't be an MD5 mismatch when your phone generated the MD5 to begin with.

I would suggest reflashing clockwork a few times from within ROM manager. It is the first option on the app which says "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"

If that doesn't help your problem:

It shouldn't make a difference because ROM Manager is made by the CWM team but I would suggest trying to create a backup from within Clockwork and see if you can then restore the backup or even to just try restoring the backup you already made from within CWM rather than trying to use ROM manager. I've heard a lot about ROM manager having problems, so even though it takes a little more work you might want to take that route from now on.

In case you don't know how, all you need to do to get to clockwork is hold down the power button on your phone and then select reboot into recovery.
Once you're in recovery mode you need to select backup/restore using the optical joystick at the bottom of the phone to make your selections. When you make a backup from within clockwork you are unable to change the name before the backup is created but when you boot your phone up you can use any file manager to navigate to the clockwork/backup folder on your SD card and the bottom one should be the most recent because they are listed by date and then time that they were created.

I know it is a little redundant but it is always worth trying the easiest thing first before trying to overhaul your phone.

i dont use rom manager for anything...
i think im gonna try to complete reflash and re root and see what happens...kinda pissed i lost a lot of my pictures though
really confuses me...

try checking the internal flash memory, for some reason some of my pictures wind up there on accident sometimes. When you connect to your PC it is the third mass storage that shows up usually. I don't know how to access it from within the phone. and I apologize for the confusion but the title of the thread is "ROM manager issue" so that's what i thought you meant.

i tend to mistakenly call cwm rom manager since thats where i got it from
