Were you able to flash the older PC36IMG.zip files to update to the various hboot versions that went with 2.1?
I don't think that will do you much good. You can use any old md5sum console application from the terminal to get the md5sum. This works for windows:
MD5sums for Windows
You can run it against any of the img files in a nandroid, but l'm not sure that's all that helpful.
I did find out you can do this from the the terminal on the phone (using your corresponding numbers):
# cd /sdcard/nandroid/(number)/(nandroid date)/
# grep BUILD system.img
BUILD_DISPLAY_ID=3.70.651.1
BUILD_DISPLAY_ID=3.70.651.1
There were other lines of output other than those two, but that should help you figure out what software version a nandroid backup is from. It had a lot to go through, so it sat there for a while after that. You'll probably have to just exit the terminal (or, if you're using sshd like me, ctrl-c works ).
thank you. i was wonderin if i could find the right rom/md5 combo, it might shorten my flashing time.
That's the thing - you can get an md5sum of the img file, but I don't know what you'd really do with it, especially since it seems to be related to the hboot version.
ah ok. hmmmm :/
Ah, yes, you need that. Recovery needs that to verify the integrity of the files. So do you have your wimax keys back?
EDIT: hmmm. I'll have to help you troubleshoot more in the morning.
Your session ID for this incident is 1979937.

Lol, that doesn't seem to have help much...
So, let's see, you were able to restore a nandroid backup, finally. What hboot version are you on? Did you ever grep RSA wimax.img for that particular nandroid backup?

im back on hboot .76. i have been running nandroid backups with no problems since i learned the nandroid.md5 has to be there. i am working on restoring #4 of the nandroids i have. each time i do grep rsa and i only get

not looking good so far. i ran a deep file scan on my laptop last night while i was sleeping to see if there were any other old nandroids. i found 1 other nandroid from 10-2010, but if there isnt any keys from 8-2010, i doubt there is in 10-2010
grep RSA /sdcard/nandroid/HT065HL*****/(NAME OF NANDROID)/wimax.img
Did you try that on the wimax.img of the nandroid backups you've tried restoring? I'm just wondering if it shows up in there, but not on the phone after restoring. That would be related to the above, more than likely. Just a thought.
# grep RSA /sdcard/nandroid/HT05FHL00377/BCDS-20100904-0405/wimax.img
grep RSA /sdcard/nandroid/HT05FHL00377/BCDS-20100904-0405/wimax.img
