So I'm having a problem restoring my phone through my nandroid backup. It says md5 doesn't match? I do not know this means. I'm currently running dk7 fixed. Trying you restore back to stock with my nandroid backup I made. Or should I just use back to stock through obin? If I spelled that correctly.
Mine says the same thing. I have even restored back to stock with Odin and reflashed CWM and still have the same thing. I think it might be CWM.
It means the backup file doesn't match exactly to what it's supposed to be. An md5 helps make sure the files are the same and uncorrupted. Did you change the name of the backup file? If you did I believe that messes up the md5 check because it happened to me before

At this moment it is not possible for me or my girlfriend's phone to restore backups. It says MD5 mismatch and boots me out. This happens even if I backup and then try to restore immediately without rebooting. To be honest I can't remember if at some point it worked, but I did replace my phone and I still have the same issue on the new phone as well. Any ideas?

I've tried more than twice now, and I'm sure it's something simple, but I can't recover my backup. Last night for example, wanted to try another rom, a 2.3.4, I was quite happy with my mosaic setup, as usual, and I was running xcal's 2.0 kernel without issue so I backed up through cwm 3. Flash got me into a bootloop so I tried to recover the nandroid but it wasn't the right one. I chose the right date but the b/u was the rom that failed, the bootup screen. So I had to start from scratch to get the setup I liked. Of course when I tried to flash the new rom there were different kernels etc. But that shouldn't matter should it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks ahead of time.

Do you're trying to restore a 2.3.3 backup (Mosaic) to a 2.3.4 rom?
*phone sig* If you're not on Gingerbread you should be flogged! *
Uh, no. you misunderstood.

Those back ups are not to use to recover with. Those are to restore your set up and stuff, you flash the rom it was backed up from THEN restore and its like you never flashed the the other rom.

Thanks studacris, yeah, tried that and got an error message and couldn't restore. Sorry I didn't take the message down, I'll try again if it happens again, thanks.

So right now I'm using CWM to do my nandroid backups. I make one after I make any major updates or changes - call me a worry wort. I also use Titanium Backup.
With doing this, obviously it takes up a bit of room so I offload them to my computer. The issue here is if I do something detrimental and need to restore, I don't know of a way to get the backup files back onto the internal memory since you can't access them via CWM, if that makes sense.
I guess I can simply keep just the latest backup saved on the phone itself but I'm wondering if there's another method that I'm not aware of. Is there a way to get files copied to the internal memory if you can't fully boot into the OS?
Oh and one other question: Does a nandroid backup include every single item? Basically is it a 100% clone of the device or are some thing left out? Basically if I tried a completely different rom and then decided to go back to an entirely different rom, would I simply be able to restore it and be up and running? The last restore I did seems to indicate it does but that was going from different versions of the same rom.
nandroid is a clone of ur system.

Ok that's what I figured; read something a bit ago which seemed to say something else.
So if I want to test a few completely different rom setups and make a nandroid backup of each one, I could essentially swap between them whenever I want by simply restoring them and I'll get back to the exact state as I was at the time they were made? Menus and all?
So apparently a kernel change will not get reverted via nandroid. Anything else? Just tried Entropy's daily driver and apparently it's a no go for me. Restored via nandroid and still freezes during 'X' boot animation.
I was running Infusion 1.1 and made sure to reset the VC O/C back to stock and reboot before updating...
Hi Folks,
I am running Infinity 1204. I love it, stable as can be. Think I am gonna stay with this version after reading all the problems people are having with the 1211 version.
I am on CWM v5.0.2.7 and when I go to do a nandroid backup, it halts with an error sayin 'unable to create image of' on time it was system and the other was of data.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is it possible due to the ext4 formatting? any pointers?
Also: I have successfully done a backup with rom manager. It seems as though cwm sees this as a valid backup for restoring. Does anyone know if you can use a rom manager backup to restore in CWM?
I'm not much help, but I have successfully restored to CWM backups on 4.0.1.4 on Gummycharged FE 2.0 with IMO 13.6 kernel and I believe Humblecharged 5.0 RC2 with IMO 4.0 kernel.
Check the Infinity ROM thread from known issues with CWM 4.0.1.4. You may be able to use that version to create and restore backups. To my knowledge, people have successfully used the new version of CWM with Infinity to create and restore backups.
I don't know this for certain, but I haven't heard of a single successful instance of ROM manager working on this phone regarding backup and restore. I suspect it will not work, although it would be interesting to see.
Even if you soft-brick your device, you could easily get back to working order via Odin. I've soft-bricked a few times- as long as you can get into download mode, you should be fine.
You could try P3Droid's Odinmaker from the market. I haven't really used it much because I have been able to restore from CWM.
Yeah ... I'm pretty comfortable with Odin and CWM for flashing and installing zip files and such. I've had this phone since the weekend it hit the market and I have recovered from numerous brick jobs in learning my way around the phone.
But I've never played with nandroid until now and the phone hasn't completed a nandroid backup the couple of times I've tried it. Was just wondering if it was an issue maybe with this combination of ROM and CWM.
Edit: Now that I'm home I decided to try it with the cable plugged into desktop to ensure max power source. It goes through the whold backup process and at what I would assume is the end of the process it pukes up;
"Error while making a backup image of /datadata!"
But!! If I go back into the restore section of cwm, it does show a copy with today's date that I just performed. I just don't know if it is a valid full backup with the error I got.
I have a device that I need to send back to T-Mobile, but I can't get it back to factory settings. I'm really stuck , and need to turn it in within a couple hours. I tried restoring it with a backup, but every time I try, it says MD5 error. ( I've tried more than one backup file ). I was looking for a stock ROM, but the ones on multi upload are inaccessible. Anyone help?

I've had good luck fixing MD5 sum errors by just changing the name of the backup file to a single character.
Just curious if anyone else has experienced any of the following:
I was running CM10.0.0, but had that issue where my NFC was unchecked. So i wanted to restore to a TW ROM so i can check on NFC, restore back to CM10, etc.
I did a backup. Tried to restore my old TW (synergy r73), but got an error in CWM 6.0.1.2:
Error while Restoring /System!
Then i got the same message for ALL of my nandroid backups, including the newest one i made of CM10. I did some searching and found tons of folks with the same issues, but no solutions beyond.. format your SDCard properly (which mine is).
That's fail #1.
After being unable to restore, i just flashed CM10 zip again and started over. I did however use that new Titanium feature where it makes a flashable zip of all of your apps a few days back.
But every time i try to flash the zip, the phone resets in the middle of the install. I've never seem CMW crash and reboot.
That's fail #2.
I ended up restoring apps the old fashioned way, but regardless... any ideas?
Thanks,
Mangler
