Need help on restore

I had that same issue after I renamed a backup file. I wanted to keep my ROM backups separate, so I named one something like "3-16 2.0b2 Fresh ROM backup" That didn't work when I tried to restore the first time. I decided to rename it just 31620b2 and it worked fine after that. Not sure if it was the spaces or symbols, but it seemed to fix it. Hope that helps.

spaces in the nandroid names will screw up every time. Never put a space in the name of your backup, it looks at it as the end of the file (or something like that)

Ok, yeah I renamed the backup from HT9CKHxxxx to Damagecontrol v1.0 2.1 Rom. That didn't work. Renamed it to just Damangecontrol. That didn't work.

Also, try wiping through the bootloader screen before a restore if the previous post's solution failed.

Wiped, then try to re apply. Didn't work. However I did make a backup with the Darch 4.1. I notice the HTKxxxxxx folder is there, I am going to go into the sub folder on the Damagecontrol backup, and move it to the HTKxxxx subfolder and see if that works.

What am I not suppose to remain, the Main folder HTCxxxxxx, or the folder inside of that one?

Because I renamed the HTCxxxxx to whatever rom I had, and all my renamed backups have spaces in them..

Ok, so going into the subfolder and copy and pasting the BDS-xxxx-xxxx file into the HTCxxxx subfolder worked.

That is strange by naming the HTCxxxx folder to something else, would name the BDS file not work. Oh well, lesson learned.


Guys if you want to rename your backups, feel free, just make sure you have a HTCxxx folder that you didn't change the name, and place the BDS-xxx-xxx file into it when you want to restore it. You should be good to go then.
