I don't know if you can rename the folders themselves, but you CAN rename the backup file itself. I use Root Explorer to do this. Just make sure you don't put any spaces in the new file name. You can use dashes and underscores to separate words and numbers, though.
Someone in the past said you can download mand5 to generate a new md5 sum, but I haven't tried it.
@visedmonk do u think andro zip will work it says it will let me rename then i click on that and it says change to file extension can make file unusable and i dont space any letters for instance il put cm for (cyanogenmod) rite next to the numbers havent had the balls to try it

I dunno. I've never used andro zip. Only one way to find out...
But seriously, it should work. To be safe, though, make a copy of the file you want to rename and place the copy with the unaltered name on your computer or sd card or whatever. Then you can rename the file and see if it works. If it does, great. If it doesn't, you still have the backup you need.

Don't know if you're using "nandroid" generically to refer to both the true nandroid as well as CWM but I rename CWM backup folders all the time and have never had trouble restoring them. I've done it from ROM Manager, via a file manager and also via ADB.

im talking about the folder not the actual files in the folder.
i just want to organize my roms so i can always jump between each
@suprah name it like this ex, 2011-06-16.05.57.13.....
you want...2011-06-16.05.57.13gingerbread ? rite well when i try that in andro zip it sayin it will make file unusable.... n i guess i will have to try and i always used to use rom manager and just go to manage and restore backups but its different with this phone especially cuz rom mana doesnt see cwm i guess?

alright welp as long as you rename the folder without any spaces, then there would be no problem with restoring nandroid backups
nice nice will try soon cuz yea i have like 6 backups on here n was writing the date down with a name lmao
I renamed the folder once and couldn't restore. It was making a reference to the md5 file.
What I did to fix the backup is rename the folder again but this time without spaces and then it let me restore without any problems.
Now my Nandrioids are all organized
Hope that helped

the stock rooted nandroid restore that's posted in the dev section is renamed to LG-P999-V10f. it's not the typical date format. and alot of people have used it. so the answer is ....yes.

Could be there's a coding error in the recovery code and stops parsing the directory name when it hits a space. The md5 file only references the individual files not the directory.
In general it's better to stay away from spaces in file and directory names. Back in the early days of *nix spaces were verboten and there are still some vestigial issues lurking either in the code or in the coding habits of some people. It's rare but it does happen. Hyphens, underscores, periods are all OK though.

If after you rename the folder you get an md5 error. This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114 can help you fix it.
BE SURE AND READ THAT POST COMPLETELY
It's imperative that one not generate an md5 sum for a nandroid that is actually corrupted. That will wreak all kinds of havoc on your system.
ONLY PERFORM THE ABOVE IF YOU KNOW ITS NOT RESTORING DUE TO A NAME CHANGE
EDIT: For the record, the above commands can be performed from terminal emulator if you know what bits to leave out. Saved me a few steps.
I rename all of my nandroid backups. They are easy to get confused otherwise. The only thing I change is the year in the date, and leave the month/day alone.

Yea I downloaded the Stock Nandroid and loaded it. I renamed the folder and got a MD5 error. Now I'm not sure it if was because of the rename or because it was a bad download to begin with.
I think I still have the file on my pc and possibly find the MD5 checksum before copying it over this time.

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..

Hi.
I'm trying to update to my ICS through OTA, but I guess I might have deleted the stock soundhound previously.
Can anyone share the stock soundhound_freemium.apk. I tried installing the soundhound free over Google Play but doesn't seems to solve the issue. I guess it still need the stock one in order for me to continue with my OTA update. thanks

i got it but it is inside my home laptop and I'm at work, thus i'll post a link for the file somewhere tonight when I am at home.
Anyway,you just need to push it to /system/app/ folder and then restart your ICS update all over again. That did the trick for me.
Easier just to flash the RUU and be done with it

tried that it wouldn't work think it maybe cos I'm flashing the same version no idea,
But with the files zipped I can use es explorer to add in the files I deleted as I know what I removed 1 apk and 6 ring tones
I too am at work till 8pm UK time
Cheers to you both
try this, see whether this works : mediafire.com/?fyi8k79lann6rkd
if failed, another thing you can do is to unpack the system.img (inside rom.zip of your unpacked RUU installer). My best guess is that the system.img should contain the Soundhound_Freemium.apk as well.
my post is still < 5, can't put outside links yet.
well got out of work early down loaded your file at work on my phone and had it in place by the time I was home thanks to es explorer, the update has got past the point where it crashes so I am hoping the loss of ring tones that I took off wont effect it.
im at about 80% done so far... fingers crossed.
thank you, your an absolute gem
EDIT: I actually downloaded it directly on my phone and when i unzip it makes a folder but I downloaded on my pc and it actually might work now so sorry for disturbing!
And thank you carbonytte you're a real hero haha

I know that. I moved the backup on the computer and when I put it on my sd so I could restore it. It didn't work it says no file found do you know where I can download the Original Stock Rom and when i try starting it up it go's to a black screen with a green arrow pointing towards the found then it goes to the phone with a red triangle with a red exclamation point. What is that?
If your backup is not recognised you have put it in the wrong folder i think. So tell us, where the files are on your sd card.

Plus what are those symbols i describe in my last reply. Thanks so much for assisting me I appreciate it.
The files must be in folder: clockworkmod/backup/2013-04-01.18.46.58
The last folder is the date it was created.
The symbols mean, your flash has failed.

Then using fastboot I go ahead and open up CWM? Will it work on any version of CWD? Thanks so much for getting that file for me and what do I do after its flashed? Like as from being to end what are the steps sorry for all the questions but thanks for everything.
Unzip it. Go into Clean JB Crkt 2.04.1050.3 folder and copy the clockworkmod to your external sd.
Then boot into cwm and choose restore and choose the backup.

Hey man I download that file but its not in zip its in Rar. so I just move the file on to my external sd out in the open not in a folder and I opened up my CWM from the install zip from sd card and that didn't work then I went to restore and it could find the file both times so how do I install it? Do I have to put it in a certain folder or something? It keeps saying no file found. Thanks
Don't copy the zip directly.
What you could do is make a backup, see where it is on your sd, replace it with the one from the zip and then restore that one.
So Noob17_Me, flash this rom from here.

Yea but what im trying to say is that the file I downloaded isn't in zip form. So how am I supposed to install it on CWM?
Sorry but what is so difficult to understand? The rar is not for flashing, its a cwm backup and if you unrar it you have a folder Clean JB Crkt 2.04.1050.3, inside you find a folder clockworkmod.
This clockworkmod folder you have to copy to SD, like it is and and boot into recovery and choose "restore".
And my zip is made from this backup, so it are the same files!
I'm replacing the Update-Binary in a rom .zip because I'm having issues with getting anything to flash so this is what I'm trying next ..
My question is, will re-naming 123rom.zip to 321rom.zip hurt anything ? I'm thinking it will make the md5 different, so is that OK ? or will it even flash ?
I was just wanting to differentiate the name of the zips on my computer so that I know what I've changed and what I haven't..
Thanks for any insight.

If you don't alternate the content of the zip and just simply change the name of the zip, then should be fine.

Swapping the update binary is altering the content, so the md5 should be different.
Renaming is only an issue when changing CWM backup names. It will cause a md5 mismatch error.
