Hey, guys. I didn't want to highjack a current thread for my problem, so I figured that I'd put down my situation here.

Last night, I was irked at how badly my battery life was affected by Jerry's Victorious ROM. It's a great ROM, and I noticed how others were having good results with it (with battery too) so me thinking like a former EVO 4G owner, I went and wiped it with the intention of reinstalling the original rom, then the Victorious rom in hopes of having better results.

This was the biggest mistake I've made with this phone. As you may know, this phone likes to have a hissy fit when it comes to downloading roms that aren't on top of the original Virgin Mobile ROM.

So last night and about an hour ago, I have been trying to get back on the vanilla rom from g60. Clockwork wouldn't let me install the ROM, it kept saying I had a bad MD5 checksum or whatever. Out of frustration, I cracked out Odin to re-install TWRP. I got that installed and even though I have g60's backup, I can't seem to access it from the backup menu (this is all on an SD card of course). And yes, I did choose external SD. It never popped up.

I tried Jerry's zip of his non victorious ROM, which worked. But of course, I have no 3G/4G.

So after me trying on my end, I'm back here to ask for help and suggestions. I have to be missing a step here or whatever. Thanks, guys.

 

Well, that explains why I didn't see anything in TWRP. I suppose I'll reinstall clockwork. Hopefully I'll have better results this time.

 

I still have MD5 mismatches when I try to restore g60's ROM. =S

 

Are the md5 mismatches from incomplete downloads or whatever?

And I'll try this yet again... feels like I've been doing this forever, lol. To Odin!

 

Okay went back to Odin and again, still the same issues. I reinstalled TWRP. I followed g60's instructions. I put the backup at the TWRP folder just as he instructed (on my sd card external) and still I see absolutely nothing in my sd card section.

I have no idea what to do now. I spent my entire day at this and I've have gotten nowhere with this. =(

 

Yeah, I was thinking about that. Do I just need to plug in the USB cable when TWRP recovery is up on my phone?

 

I've been trying to restore anything I could in the Team Win recovery yet for the all of the recoveries I've tried, none of them ever show up. I even copied them to the internal SD and still nothing.

What is everyone else doing that I'm not I wonder? I put them in the BACKUP folder and I even put them on the root of the SD card just to test it. Still nothing. =(
