Androot and Recovery manager not working

[Guest EazyDuz]

So ive been following the guide stickied to the point where it says about backing up your stock ROM. So i do, i name it 'original orange'. The phone then resets, i go back on recovery manager and it wont open, nor will androot.

Reset phone to factory settings and formatted memory card, reinstalled and the same thing is happening.

Have i ruined my phone?

Basically got to this point:

# Hit the Firmware tab

# Hit the MENU button on your device and choose Update Database

# If you want to make a complete backup of your entire phone : use the option Backup Current Firmware - this will put a FULL backup of your device onto the SDCard (in a directory called clockwork)

Made a backup name something like 'original orange', as soon as i did that, the phone reboots and now androot and recovery manager wont work.

Need advice soon before i take it back for an exchange

I think you cannot have a SPACE in the name of the backup.

I think changing the name can make the md5 sum mismatch. You can regenerate the md5 sum, google "nandroid md5 mismatch" and you'll find a guide somewherei

Edit just realized this isn't the main problem. Try returning your phone to stock using tpt

Nevermind, done it and using a new ROM :D.

Basically i re-downloaded rec manager and androot onto my laptop and put them on SD card and its all working.

I dont understand why the files i originally downloaded did work, but then wouldnt open on the phone. Even replacing them with the same files which were kept on the laptop didnt work, i had to download them fresh onto my laptop again.
