Google: page isn't same. on SEO report

Cloaking is considered a violation of Google’s Webmaster Guidelines because it provides users with different results than they expected.

If your site uses technologies that search engines have difficulty accessing, like JavaScript, images, or Flash, see Google recommendations for making that content accessible to search engines and users without cloaking.

What kind of page are we looking at? Is it just php/html, or is it a javascript application?

Is this a question or a public service announcement?

I had to take my website from my seo company that they said I owned, however they returned me with a non- functional theme so I created a new website with a sub domain and basically copied and pasted.

I then 301 my sub domain to my original url. I think, I know it has to be done right. The only problem I have is fetch and render is not rendering 1 image from my sub domain so I am thinking they have penalized me for cloaking. Any thoughts?
