you don't have backups. Oracle will only support recovery from hot
backups taken when the tablespaces are not flagged as in backup mode if
you do the backup via RMAN.
Technically, if you are very very lucky, the moon is in the seventh
house and Jupiter has aligned with Mars, you *MIGHT* be able to use the
hot backup taken without RMAN. If and only if there is absolutely NO
activity whatsoever in the database from the time the backup starts
until when it finishes. Even then, recovery is still not supported.
