Root Bootloop - can't flash nandroid backup - can't flash new ROM. HELP!!!!

[lj5625]

Hey y'all!
Here's my situation. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, especially since I need my phone for work!!!

I have an HTC Evo (bought it in December) that I rooted through UnrEVOked 3.3. I flashed a free Cyanogen Mod from piece of sh*t ROM Manager, and all was well (except for Android Market not showing up).

The problem arose in Clockwork Mod (v. 2.5), when I tried to restore either of my two nandroid backups (Jan 3, 2011, and Jan. 16, 2011). I kept getting back an "MD5 mismatch" error on both backups.

So, I tried to simply reboot, and I got stuck in a BOOT LOOP! I followed some advice on forums and tried moving a custom stock ROM to my SDcard and PC, then flashing it to my phone.

However, once I tried to flash either of them, I got this message:

did you name your backup Jan 3, 2011?

iirc backups aren't supposed to have any special characters like comma

I did not name it as such. It was like this: 2011-1-16.go&adw

I want to thank EVERYONE who offered forth advice. I FIXED my problem, thanks to all the help. I located an Amon Ra recovery file, downloaded it to my sd from my PC, updated it as my new recovery, then flashed a new stock rom. Bam! Fixed!

Rom Manager and Clockwork Mod can KISS MY A**!!!!!! I'm deleting them from my phone into oblivion! Can't believe they've been around so long, and yet they're still so buggy. WEAK CHEESE!!!!
