Hope this helps someone.
I was having md5 mismatch errors when I tried to restore from my backed up images. I realize it was because I had slightly renamed the folder! Do not rename the folder on the sdcard.
I wish the top level folder name was not taken into the md5 digest since names like 2013-07-24-13-43 (date and time) are not extremely useful when you have a few of them. Whereas 2013-07-24-13-43-myslim1 is.
I rename all of mine. They all work fine.

Don't use spaces, that's all.

I set the backup name before backing up in TWRP. Never had an issue.

yup never any spaces because then it causes dumb **** like an md5 error
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

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..

Try redownloading it. The file may have corrupted as it was downloaded.
Use MD5_SHA-1 Utility to compare your MD5 with the MD5 code was provided

Dude my bad i did not search!! Thanks so much...
So here's what i understood-
The blob file makes a common back up file for all backups n only the difference in diff backups are stored in the folder' backup' right?
In other words when we make a backup
Only the files that are different are backed up.the rest are restored from blob
So both backup n restore well be faster

Re loneagl, do you need to to backup for a very long time？It took me at least 7 mins.

Yep..it stays at 'freeing up space' for long time.(i actually rebooted once thinking it had hung up)..the actual backup is only about 20 mb..the blob file about 800mb

Does changing backup folder name cause md5 check to fail? I renamed all those numbers into proper description of what’s inside and now it won’t restore. Not sure if that could be the problem.
