Ok - I'm not a 'noob' to all this, but you might as well treat me like one. I'm certainly not a techie so I need things explained in layman's terms. I've spent all last night and today on this, and I'm close to losing my mind.
So, decided to root and try some new ROMs. All was looking great (I had flashed Paranoid Android), until...
[I got the Paranoid Android link from a website - and I really wish I'd gone through a proper forum link, cos I'm worried that it's unstable because I may have dled a ROM that isn't really for my specific phone...maybe that's got nothing to do with it)
I started trying to reinstall some apps/data through TiB and a few issues started coming up where it kept asking me if I wanted to update the apps that I was restoring. Strange.
Then things started crashing in PA, wasn't really sure what I was doing wrong, and why it was going awry. Couldn't seem to get TiB to get all my apps/system data/etc back, so I thought - for the meantime, I'll just restore my nandroid.
However, I had moved my nandroid to my PC. Tried to copy it back, but it wouldn't work. Kept not managing to copy the biggest file back to the PC. I finally manged to get the file over to internal memory, and I then used a nandroid app from the market to point to this new directory and use that to flash. And it seemed to be working, yet, I think it came up to a "MD5 mismatch" error - although it's hard to see, because it's gone so fast.
I then found a thread on XDA whereby you had to type in this set of commands to sort out the md5 thread, I tried that, but it still hasn't worked. I really don't know where I've gone wrong (except for moving that nandroid!) - and at the moment, I've got PA and it's sort of working but I'm scared to do anything major (or even minor) because I'm worried that all the crashes will start to happen again...
I'm happy to either be recommended to a more stable ROM to flash (if we think that'll work) or how I can get my nandroid back up working and head back to stock but with a rooted phone. I'm beginning to wish I never did it....I have a terrible day....
Please.....

moving it from your phone to computer shouldn't usually cause a problem (I've done it loads of times) and as you've said above you didn't rename it. Strange
