I had to get a replacement Thunderbolt for a speaker issue.

Made a backup of my TB with Rom Manager, which has always worked for me.

Put SD card in new TB.

I rooted the new one with Revolutionary.

Flashed Superuser.

In CWM, I decided to go directly to restore.

Checking MD5 sums took longer than usual. Said erasing boot before restore, then restoring boot image. THEN....it says the following:

system.img not found. Skipping restore of /data.
data.img not found. Skipping restore of /data.
.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.
cache.img not found. Skipping restore of /cache.
sd-ext.img not found. Skipping restore of /sd-ext.
Restore complete!

And of course, there is only the stock ROM when I reboot.

Signed in, etc.

Downloaded ROM Manager & Premium from the Market.

Fired up ROM Manager, went to restore. Same thing, except it only appears quickly and then reboots.

I think to myself - perhaps it wasn't updated to the new radio and I should have installed the update. So I find a debloated stock 2.11.605.5, install it with CWM, and still...no go.

Is there a step I am missing, or should I give up on this backup file?
 
What version of Recovery is on your device... NOT ROM Manager, but Recovery???
 
in rom manager click flash clockworkmod recovery (first option on top) when its done retry and see if it restores

Thanks. I didn't think I needed to do this, since I downloaded it during the Revolutionary process. but apparently I did.
