Yeah, that's what I asked.

I wanted a clean start, without anything installed.
Just like flashing it without USB.

They told me I had to it with backupmenu, and now I'm stuck with this.

If it is without Multiboot probably the actual situation is:
  • Your phone have a certain kernel flashed on Nand (i.e. Power Kernel xx)
  • The restored rootfs is for another kernel (i.e. Stock PR1.3 Kernel)
  • Your kernel starts boot process but when it tries to load kernel modules, it not finds them because there isn't the correct /lib/modules/2.6.28.10-powerxx (xx power kernel version) directory
  • Start up process hangs and phone will be rebooted

In this case the solution is to flash a stock PR1.3 kernel.

But without an USB port you are doomed!!

From your posts I have read that you have Power Kernel installed.

If your plans were to restore a clean image, of course you had to first return to a Stock PR1.3 kernel and only after try to restore the backup.

If your actual kernel (power kernel I presume) is with U-Boot there is an solution, otherwise the Usb cable is mandatory.

Someone install a modified version of kernel which has u-boot included.
This is usually used to start MeeGo/Nemo

If you have done that, you have U-Boot and you can boot your phone from SD Card having so an hope to recover it without usb cable.

To know if you have u-boot is simple.
Do you see a pinguin image and various text string during boot process ?
If not sorry you don't have u-boot installed

That is something I can't tell.

When I had my previous kernel, it showed me the view you said.. the text strings and the penguin, but sometimes it didn't..

Hmm..

Now when you power on your dead phone (try with keyboard slide opened also), do you see the pinguin ?

If yes, there is an hope for you.
