The easy way would be to take out your memory card and put it into a card reader with an adapter, then load a new image rom zip onto the card, and try again.

So i can just load fresh3.4 on the sd and reload? thanks

Yeah you should be able to just reflash it

I got that error when i tried reloading a backup file that i had renamed when i created it. Once i got my phn to boot back up, i flashed the RA recovery in ROM Manager (vs Clockwork recovery) then rebooted back into recovery using RA. RA let me flash my old backup file whereas Clockwork didn't for some reason. If you can flash a ROM to get your phone booted normally again, might wanna give it a try to access your old backup files...

Did you use ROM manager to make your backup?

Your backups are in the "clockworkmod" folder....that was likely your mistake and the reason why people have a hard time doing recoveries with clockworkmod.

Repeat for everybody, if you use clockworkmod for your recovery, when you do a backup, they are in the "clockworkmod" folder....and then in that folder you will find a folder named "backups".

This could cause confusion because there is a "backups" folder that is on your SD card and many times it may be empty and you will get that message....I know I did and I kinda freaked out. But after looking around, I found it in the folder above.

Who was the response to? If it was to me then you have to use ROM manager to load your backup.

I used ROM Manager to make some backups and I also made some backups manually through the bootloader....and they all ended up in the same folder....clockworkmod>backups

I got it working,in clockwork it only showed the backup folders not the files so iwent to nand/recovery and my backups were there

To you (wasn't sure if you were asking me or not in your earlier post lol)

In ROM Manager, to even use the "Manage and Restore Backups" feature, you must be in ClockworkMod recovery, and i haven't been in that recovery since i first had kernel/dalvik cache issues (prior to reloading my backup of a working HTC kernel #10). I tried restoring my "edited filename" backup in ClockworkMod recovery and it said file not found. I then rebooted and switched over to RA recovery via ROM Manager (to troubleshoot a dalvik cache wipe problem) and was able to wipe the cache successfully. For the heck of it, i tried reflashing my "edited filename" backup as well and it worked.

glad you got it figured out
