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.

Try remove spaces from nandroid backup folder's name.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
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.

What are you restoring from, Rom, filesystem, firmware could be the culprit. Notice any errors while making the Nandroid?
Did your rename the backups? Remove all spaces from the names if you did. That fixed it right up for me.

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?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
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?
Hey there,
since a few time I can't restore my recently made backups..
Everytimes I want to restore the CWM Recovery says
"Checking MD5 sums
MD5 mismatch" ..
I've already searched the forum and couldn't find a thread in here..
Also the solutions I found on google didn't help me..
Any tips?
Thanks in advance..
EDIT: Recoverysystem is 5.0.2.0
I've had this happen once when I went in and changed name of my backup from cwm's default date and time naming to something else. Other than that not sure why you'd be getting mismatch error except for a maybe a bad sdcard.
You could try reflashing the recovery to rule out a bad flash of the recovery

Well, I didn't change the name..
Reflashed the recovery, still got the Problem.. :/

Could be a bug in the recovery. I'd try flashing another recovery and see if that helps. Lots of different recoveries out there so just make sure the one you try supports your phone.

Of course it supports my phone. I've installed it from ClockWorkMod and chose LGE Optimus One. And it worked a few time before without problems.. :/

Found this you might try to rebuild your md5smd5s
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114
Hi,
I also got the same problem some time ago. But for me this is because i deleted the ext partition on my phone after the backup has been taken. So i think any hardware changes may result this.
So this might be because I've changed SD-card for flashing another ROM in between?
@kwkbnk : Thanks, but I've already tried this before...

I had this problem on one of my phones. I had deleted one of the files. (an extra sd-ext backup file that I did not need). The first thing that recovery does is check the MD5 sum of all the files. If it can't find one, it just says MD5 does not match and stops. It tries to check all files even if you tell recovery you only want one restored. I fixed it by modifying the nandroid.MD5 file. It is a text file with one line for each file, listing each file's name and its MD5 sum. I just edited the file and removed the line for the missing file and all was well, I was able to restore all the other files with no errors. I also noted that I could remove all the entries so it was an empty file and recovery restored all files without checking MD5s at all. That's not a good idea in case there is a file error, but there may be times when it's necessary.
Where do I find the nandroid.MD5?
Couldn't find it anywhere..

Mine was in the same folder that had the img files. Clockworkmod/backup on your SD card. There is a folder inside that for each backup you have made.
EDIT: I just looked at that referenced post above and that script first removes the nandroid.md5 file and then rebuilds a new one. If you got an error and the script did not finish, then there would be no nandroid.md5 file. If you feel brave, you can create an empty nandroid.md5 text file and I believe recovery will skip the md5 check. At least it did for me. That's no worse than building a new one from the files you have with the script. If there was a bad file, recovery would try to install the file anyway since the new md5 sums match.
For me it happen when my memory card storage is low I did a backup.

You can find the solution a view posts before, as already said.
I've uploaded an empty nandroid.md5 which causes the md5 sum is not checked.
Just copy it into your backup on SD (for example /clockworkmod/backups/2011-12-01.13.55.09).
You can find the MD5 here (xda-attechments don't support .md5-files).
Remember it could crash if your error is not caused by an missing nandroid.md5 .
OMG, helps alot
my eternal thanks
Thx unicycler! Saved me a lot of hours of frustration -I was just about ready to reinstall minicm7 on my X8 when I saw this thread! Your uploaded file fixed it all.
Thank you!!!
Leapinlar, please, can you reupload the MD5? The download link is broken
I will do this evening. Just forgot to do..

So I think I made a stupid mistake.
I was trying to reset google wallet and It hung at 97% and wasn't able to reset. I used the google wallet installer to basically change my build prop to the nexus build prop. I figured it would just overwrite my original wallet app anyway, and once my build prop was changed to the nexus build prop I could simply reset the app from there.
Anyways, phone rebooted and it's stuck in a bootloop and isn't getting passed the boot animation screen. I can get into recovery mode and download mode just fine. I tried restoring a backup I had with CWM and it says "md5 mismatch error". I really have no idea what to do at this point, and would rather not go completely to stock since I know my data is still there. Also I'm concerned to even restore a backup because i'm pretty sure my build prop was changed. I'm also wondering if it would be possible to simply factory reset and flash a new rom on top of it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
which rom are you using?
extract its build.prop and flash manually (if you know how to create a flashable zip)
if you are using a cm based rom, just reflash the rom without deleting anything..
and avoid using space while renaming backups... it gives md5 mismatch error

No idea how to create the flashable zip. However I did notice a tutorial, I guess now would be a good time to learn.
I'm using darthstalker X1, it's a touchwiz based rom so I can't simply flash the rom again.
I saved all of my backups on my external SD card, can I just simply hook it up to my computer and change the backup names? And is my build.prop included in the backup I made?
Thank you for responding.

renaming the backups again might not fix
i believe to have seen a script for sgy which fixes md5 mismatch error. but you need to give commands from terminal emulator.
if you have more than one backup of the rom, try to restore system only
if any one of them works your phone will boot up again
Edit: your backups contain the build.prop file in system.(partition type).tar
just extract this
and partition type may be rfs or ext4

No idea how that is even done. I think I need windows and ADB in order to extract the build.prop, I have a mac.
I found a restore that worked, I just forgot to rename it and it wasn't too old thankfully.
I really appreciate you helping. And now I know of this mismatch error so I can name my backups correctly.

to extract backups u need a tar extractor
if the backup format is something like .tar.a or .tar.md5 rename it to .tar first
and restoring the system only of your working backup would have booted your phone (in advance restore in recovery)
anyway this was an experience too for you.. so you would be carefull next time

Restoring my system partition only from advanced restore worked perfectly. All my apps stayed how they were and I didn't have to update all of my apps after I restored. Way better than doing a full restore in this case.
Thank you for this advice, this will be a very helpful method to me if I make any mistakes while messing with anything in my system folder. And yes, it was certainly an experience for me.
