I have the 155 SBF on my Defy, then i made an Nandroid Backup.
Wipe my whole Phone reflash the 155 SBF and then i want to restore my nandroid backup, but i get a MD5 Mismatch
Is there any opinion to restore it?
I think it is not going to be restorable now

Try remove spaces from nandroid backup folder's name.

besides the having no spaces in the name as mentioned above, make sure the nandroid is at the backup folder and there are no more folders inside as well, like below
...backup/ (backup folder name)/nandroid
having this
...backup/ (backup folder name)/ (another folder)/nandroid will have md5 mismatch
probably something went wrong while calculating the md5 sum.
Copy the img file to your PC and calculate a new md5 sum. Place both in a folder in your backupfolder.
Remember that its possible that you end up with a not running system and you have to reflash the SBF
Hi,
dont install 2ndInit.
install directly Defy Recovery, After Rooting ur phone.

So I got a phone with cryogen7 or whatever from my friend. I want to make it completely stock again. I dont have his sd card. so I just have mine from another phone. I downloaded the stock g2x gingerbread file, but when I try to restore it, i get a md5 mismatch or something. I saw a thread on that but I dont know how to write code. just hoping someone could help me out. thank you.
Download it again, also try another browsee

Download the V21E nandroid from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196019
Then use your computer to extract the folder from the zip file you download. Copy that folder to the sdcard on your phone, and place it in the ./clockworkmod/backup directory. Then boot into clockworkmod recovery and select backup/restore > restore and then choose the backup folder you just copied to your sdcard. Make sure to do a full wipe/factory reset from within clockworkmod before you reboot or you might get a bootloop.
If you want stock recovery then use tga gunmanns one click app in the development section to restore stock recovery. Then you'll be 100% unrooted stock again.
IF the name of the zip has spaces in it it wont flash

Nandroid backups aren't flashable zips. With the files from the thread i linked to, you have to extract the backup folder from the zip before you restore it. But yes, you are correct that spaces in the name of the backup create issues.
Did you figure it out yet?

it freezes on "checking md5 sums"... don't know what to do
Are you using your computer to extract the V21E folder from the zip file? Ive used my phone before to extract it before and gotten the md5 mismatch error, and then used my computer to do it and it worked fine.
are you sure the rom your using is for your phone?
I have been palying around with various Zoom configuration. As I get one close I do a nandroid backup with CWM Recovery. I would like to be able to rename them with discriptive names so that I can find a specific backup when needed. Every time I try I get an MD5 sum error.
Does anyone know how to rename a backup and fix the MD5 sum?

You will need a file manager, such as Astro or what I use, Super Manager. Your nandroid back ups will be under folder "external 1" , clockworkmod, backup.
It's all in the file manager
I use root explorer. One thing to remember is that you can't use certain characters. I don't know exactly what they are, but if you only use what are in the original as far as punctuation you should be all set.

Use a md5 checker and check the whole folder, find the md5 file and open a text editor and add the md5 you just got in place of the old one
And if you put any special characters in the name or spaces you will get a md5 sum error
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
the easiest way is use root explorer and stick to numbers and alphabet characters as much as possible. it will handle the md5 for you. just renaming the files with a file manager will ruin the backup.. DONT DO IT. I found out the hard way unfortunately.
As a test, I copied a CWM backup folder from my phone to my Windows PC. I renamed the folder without spaces or special characters and then copied the entire folder back to the phone. Upon restoring using CWM 5.0.2.7, it successfully passed md5 test and restored. I then rebooted with no problem.
I also compared the md5 sums in the nandroid.md5 files from the original folder (before renaming) and after renaming and they are identical.
The key is to avoid spaces or special characters; use underscore "_" instead of spaces in the folder_name.
I hope this helps!
you can use - instead of space
md5 fail with space, if rename again it will re-work, data is NOT ruined if you rename
HEY GUYS I JUST FOUND THE KEY TO THE PROBLEM---clockwork-recovery MD5 mismatch IS VERY SIMPLE...
1.OPEN SD CARD IN WINDOWS.
2.DOWNLOAD 2 SOFTWARES ( MD5 CALCULATOR AND NOTEPAD++) JUS GOOGLE THEM AND INSTALL.
3.OPEN CLOCKWORK FOLDER IN SD VIA COMPUTER->BACKUP->(YOUR BACK).
4.NOW RIGHT CLICK ON NANDROID.MD5 AND EDIT WITH NOTEPAD++
5.GREEN HIGHLIGHTED PHRASE IS A KEY.
6.RIGHT CLICK ON REST EVERY FILE IN BACKUP FOLDER INDIVIDUALLY->MD5 CALCULATOR
7.MATCH THE KEY TO THAT OF NOTEDPAD++ FILE
8.IF THEY DONT MATCH COPY KEY FROM MD5 CALCULATOR AND PASTE IN NOTEPAD
9.SAVE AND EXIT.
10.NOW TRY RECOVERY IT;LL WORK.
MD5 is there for a reason...

(and why did you change the name?)
Wikipedia said:
MD5 digests have been widely used in the software world to provide some assurance that a transferred file has arrived intact. For example, file servers often provide a pre-computed MD5 (known as Md5sum) checksum for the files, so that a user can compare the checksum of the downloaded file to it. Unix-based operating systems include MD5 sum utilities in their distribution packages, whereas Windows users use third-party applications.

Successful verification of the md5 file shows that the files are the same as at the time of packing and "not corrupted".
Consider this,
You flash a ROM which did not have a correct md5 checksum.
It may mean that the ROM was corrupted due to some reason and you may end up with a bricked phone.
though the chances of this happening are pretty low with a backup.. but better safe than sorry.
and i changed my username cause i liked it

Well yeah, MD5 is a great thing when it comes to checking consistency of a file, but for example, it bothers me because i have about 5-6 rom backups and they are all difrent roms, so i need to change the name of folder from date-time stamp to name of the rom, but when i do that i cant restore it any more because MD5 checksum apperantly checks the folders name also so i have to rename it again to date stamp... but sometimes it can be useful... just sayin'
I don't think cwm checks the backup names. I've got a couple of backups renamed to the ROM names and they work well.
well i dont know then, when i change their name back to the time stamp like 2012-03-15 11.12.32 then the restore will work, but when i leave a name like CM 7.2 rc5.5, when i chose restore, it prints out md5 checksum mismatched...
Same thing happens with me too..renaming the cwm backup file leads to the same mds mismatch error but sometimes it works..strange eh??
That never happens for me...

Well I am an experienced hacker so ill explain. I do not have a brief knowleage about md5 but the md5 is calculated by the alphablet that it has lets say the name is ABHY then the md5 will be 1670 (This is an expamle) the other name is ZXDR the md5 will be 7304 now if you change the name the md5 does not change hence the error arises

It looks like this is the case, I havejust spent the last hour trying to "repair" the Md5 checksums as described above only to find there was no problem with them, the problem was i had renamed the backup file. on checking in details when the file was created i renamed the file accordingly and voila the backup worked. I have renamed many backup files before and never had this problem but i did this time strange.
Informative post...
but MD5 checksum verification is useful...
I got md5 checksum error and it was caused by space in renamed folder name. After i remove space, restore worked.
I dl'd the CWM Image of v21e GB off the Android development page, but when I restore it, I get MD5Sum mismatch.
help?
Have you tried to redownload it? Might be bad download.
I have mirrors here if you meant the v21e nandroid
V21E
Also what version of CWM are you using? I've had the least amount of issues with 5.0.2.0

Don't rename directories or files, Nandroid MD5 has to match filepaths too.
I was messing with my keyboard layout bininaries the other day. I made a backup with cwm before hand. I went to restore and received this same message while restoring.
I did not mess with any file names, etc.

Sure it'll flash now, but if there's a reason for the hash's mismatch then you could have a corrupted backup. No harm trying though.

Could make a copy of the original backup dir, remove the .md5 checksum in the copy so it generates a new one and restore from there. If it doesn't work, you still have the untouched original dir.
this has to be the oldest question to the oldest nandroid backup scenario ... but i honestly forgot.
ok, i did a nandroid backup and my default file was "1970-08-55-01" .. so i changed it to "Paranoidv1.9_817" and i got MD5 mismatch ... i forgot that there is somewhere in the nandroid that i am suppose to match md5 with whatever i change the folder name to? any suggestions, help refresh my memory, lol
