I tried restoring a edited boot.IMG with clockworkmod recovery but is says the md5 sum is mismatched and won't update, I fixed the md5 sum in nandroid.md5 to match my new boot.IMG but it made no difference, do I need to edit anything else?

can a nandroid backup be packaged as an update.zip and if so whats the best way to do it
am i right that you can
extract data.img and system.img and then do what you need to their
then zip up the package
then zign it
but then i think i would be missign boot.img or is that not needed
Its simple enouph just to use rom manager and let it do all the work
I've same problem.
I have a samsung galaxy gio gt5660 and rom manager don't recognize unofficial 5.0.2.6 cwm recovery for this phone. So I can not use rom manager.
I have a nandroid backup with these files: boot.img - cache.rfs.tar - data.rfs.tar - nandroid.md5 -recovery.img - sd-ext.ext2.tar - system.rfs.tar and I'd want to create an update zip for flashing with cwm.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks
Hi,
(newbie question)
I have CWM recovery installed on my galaxy nexus (installed w/o ROM MANAGER). I've successfully created a backup. I've tarred the backup directory and moved to file to my computer.
I know I can restore easily with ROM Manager or booting into CWM but I'm trying to learn things the hard way and want to restore using fastboot.
I've extracted the tar which contains..
boot.img
cache.ext4.tar
data.ext4.tar
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar
When doing some googling the process is to sequentally flash all the img files. However the data and system are not packaged as img files but tars.
So what is the process for a complete restore with fastboot?
Eould love to know this as well. I have ADB setup etc but my CWM backup produced .tar files(cache.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar, syste,.ext4.tar) not .img files (apart from recovery.img and boot.img).
Any help appreciated !
Hi
I have tryed to figure out how to extract data from clockwork backup
I have these backup files:
.android_secure.vfat.dup
boot.img
cache.ext4.dup
data.ext4.dup
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.ext4.dup
I have tried unyaffs tool but i only get "broken image file"
So can anybody help me to extract some data (actually only my sms)
LoA
Have a look at Nandroid Manager ' ROOT.
Well, first I rooted my tablet. Then I took backup with Nandroid backup. It created some files in a folded which i saved. The files are like:
boot.img cache.ext4.tar data.ext4.tar nandroid.md5 recovery.img recovery.log system.ext4.tar uboot.img
After accidentally, or to say on purpose I uninstalled Backup and recovery program which was installed by default on tablet.
Now I don't know how to flash my rom by using these files, I tried to do it by vol+ and power button, then by selecting boot.img it gives error that file is invalid kind of thing. And on ADB, it shows that the device is offline. I cannot even flash any other ROM. Whenever i boot my device it just gives a lots of errors and restart again. If anyone knows how to fix this then Thanks in advance.
Hello There Guys !! :good: :fingers-crossed: :laugh:
Today, I will share you my issue was being solved by this method.
CWM Backup and Restore
When you restore a CWM backup, the BAD MD5 mismatch!
I recommend ES File Explorer which have more features. Like checking MD5, Image viewer, audio, video,blahblahblah!
If your device is not yet usable, Use Notepad++ only. NOT Notepad on windows! as this may corrupt the file!(Tested by me)
Here I have some two methods:
METHOD 1: Checking MD5
METHOD 2: Erasing MD5 values
METHOD 1 : Checking MD5
If your device is not usable at this moment, flash any ROM that will WORK and can be usable. No matter at any if that ROM is LAG, Buggy, OR FASTER, At LEAST Can Install Apps. So We use ES File Explorer. Then when the Process is finished, let's we try to go to CWM and test it out!
OR WE will use Notepad++.
1. Open ES File Explorer
2. Go to /sdcard(or either ext_card whatever you put the backup file)/clockworkmod/backup/(date of the named folder)/
3. Now Individually check their MD5 by holding that item and select details and select Checksum and MD5(sorry i forgot)
4. Write down your MD5 results and Open nandroid.md5 thrn open as text file.
5. Paste the MD5 results NOT THE CHECKSUM and Save it.
6. Go to CWM and select backup and restore and restore the backup file (modified)
7. Done! Restore complete!
mine is working this method 1 so, the md5 was changed. the last md5 of my .android_secure is 35215 but the real is 35211. SO the last digit was mistake! GOOD!
If this method doesn't work, Don't worry! Another Method!
METHOD 2: Erasing MD5 values
If that method doesn't work, follow there!!
1. Boot again the ROM you used
2. Follow Step 2 in Method 1
3. Open nandroid.md5 as text
4. Delete All numbers in this file and save it. Meaning the MD5 is blank.
5. Save it.
6. Boot to CWM and Restore it. This will restore quickly as this may not check the md5.
this method works on my all devices as my restored ROM working as expected.
Thanks! Feedback and replies are always welcome! :laugh:
