I'm trying to go back to stock rom. I have 2 different backups that I made before I flashed liberty rom. When I try to restore back to one it says mismatch? And one of the backups is a fresh backup I made right after I rooted my X. What do I do? Should I factory reset? This makes no sense to me do I have to uninstall this rom somehow first? Please help! :icon_eek:

I boot into Droid X bootstrap recovery. Which is the way I've restored from Liberty rom before.

Did you by chance make your back ups using ROM manager, also are you mounting the system before trying to flash the backup?

I did use clockwork to make the recoverys. And no I'm not mounting the system before trying to restore. How do I do that? Well I'll take a look right now. Thanks

In clockwork you will see the option "mounts and storage". Go into that menu and select mount system, you'll know you did because it will change to unmount system. Now use the power button to go back to the main menu and now try to flash your nandroid backup

Well the MD5 mismatch is usually caused by having spaces in the name of the backup... if you renamed your backup like i did... you should go back and rename it with underscores or something instead of spaces. Lemme know if that works dancedroid

Ok I got my recovery back whew! I googled the md5 error and found a link in XDA forums
I didn't read it all the way but I noticed that it said you shouldn't rename your backup. So I deleted the extra part I renamed the backup just leaving the numbers that were originally named for it. One of the 2 backups wouldn't let me rename it back but the other did, kinda weird, but booted into recovery and restored the backup and im back to stock rooted DroidX!! Now I need to make sure that NEVER happens again. But thanks you guys for all your help you Rock!!!

That makes sense because for the first time in renaming my backups I decided to put spaces! Thanks for the tip.
