Last night I rooted my Droid 2 and everything went fine. Then I started searching for ROMS to install on my phone. I found one and before I installed it, I made a complete nandroid backup using the clockwork Recovery Mod v2.5.0.8. After that I tried installing the Fission 2.5.7 ROM and everything seemed to go okay, but when I tried to boot up it just stayed at the bootloader for hours. When I tried to restore the backup I made it only said "MD5 mismatch", thus the situation I'm in now. Any suggestion on what I should do?
Please HELP!!! Stuck at recovery menu after attempted ROM install

Did you by chance rename the backup? You can get that error if you put a space in the file name.
It could also mean the nandroid is bad. Are you familiar with ADB? If so, maybe this can help: [How To] Fix md5 mismatch nandroid restore - xda-developers

Hmm I dont know atm
But the adb instructions are on page 2, post #11 of that link. The only other thing I can think of is to sbf then reroot. If we cant figure it out, We can go to our Rescue Squad section and see what they have to say.

Hey, you were right! I had put spaces in the Backup file name so once i got rid of the spaces everything went smoothly. Thanks so much for your help! Just one last question. When coming from the stock ROM to a custom ROM are you required to wipe the data & cache?

It's always a good idea to do a full wipe between roms. Especially different roms. I even wait I until I have a full battery and wipe the battery stats too.

It won't touch your sd. It will only wipe what's on/in the phone.
