try backing up using acs updater or Rom Manager. make sure there's no "/"'s in the file name..i've had problems with files i tried to name "4/17" (with a slash) or whatever and the md5 won't generate. just stick to letters and numbers in the backup name. hope that helps.

**** i did so i could remember it i put dewizz 2-25 so i could remember what date it was and the name of the rom...
you can't have spaces. delete the space and try it. if it still doesn't work you can manually create a new MD5 for it

I was having that problem with cwm touch, went back to cwm that uses hard keys and it works, but all backups made with touch recovery are shot.

Same thing happened to me. I am still looking for the solution. How to I manually create an md5?

Flash the old recovery
M&S
Yeah, I pretty much lost intrest in CWM touch when it kept restarting and wouldn't finish a dang thing without restarting randomly. Sometimes its best not to fix something that isn't broken...if you really can't handle using the volume rocker and power button you shouldn't be in there anyway...
but i digress...i remember I had a bit of a hard time getting it to recognize the device but if you get this string of commands to run it will fix it.

I am still using the old recovery (every time I reboot, touch recovery goes away) and I tried restoring after changing the name and I got md5 error. Then I changed it to all numbers and it gets stuck at checking md5 anyone have an idea?

I rename my backup folder by ES Explorer and that become bad file
I can confirm this works 100%, I had a copy of Juggs 5.0 and did TDJs superwipe and my backup was coming up as MD5 mismatched. Ran the commands from the guide and violla it worked !
Let me ask all the ones who has got this error. Did you try to restore data that you saved from gingerbread to ics? If so that maybe where the problem is coming. I did some playing around with this and got the same results over 6 times. When ever i was running a gingerbread ROM i would backup with nadriod and titanium backup. Than i would flash a ics ROM and restore data bam md5 mismatch. Go back to gingerbread the back up would not restore for reason unknown same error. But if i backup from a ics ROM go back to gingerbread and restore back to ics ROM no error would happen. Also if i would restore data that i backed up on ics from titanium onto gingerbread everything would force close. So in short if you nadroid on gingerbread don't expect that data to restore on ics. So if your running ics and need to go back to gingerbread you can restore your apps from titanium but restoring data will cause problems. But nadroid is not an option if your needing to restore on ics from gingerbread. So let me know if your having the problem. Right now there is no known confirm fix. It could be that data gingerbread just don't work on ics because its still currently a leaked ROM. Lets work together to find a solution for this annoying problem.

I made this second post to try and isolate what's really causing this md5 mismatch problem. I spent half the weekend experimanting with what could be causing this. So far it has nothing to do with the name changing of the backup or spaces being in the name of the back up. So please no more smart comments lets try and solve this problem the developers here have enough work on there hands as it is. So lets us take one for the team and solve this issue .

What causing it is the file containing the MD5 is missing or you've deleted/changed nandroid attached to that MD5. Simple fix? Get a new check file which can easily be done through terminal.
There's no magic or 'ICS f'd up my previously created nandroid' going on here. Why? Because flashing a rom doesn't effect the sdcard - never has.
I'll add that the recovery for one of them might not be reading the MD5 correctly but that has nothing to do with ICS or GB. Not even the kernel. It has to do with the recoveries. In which case you need to let the dev know.

That make sense. I've tried letting some of the developers know but they never respond to anyone.

I am running Juggernaut v5.0 and recently did a backup. I wpied my phone and tried one of the ICS ports to see if i was happy with the build or wanted to wait for the official build (whenever that will be)...I ended up restoring my backup just fine. The following day i restored back to stock for some reason and when i rerooted my phone i tried to restore from the same backup and recieved "md5 mismatch"...i searched and found a few solutions to my problem and used this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606047 with no worries...i was just curious as to what would causes the mismatch in the first place as ive used it before to restore my phone?

it could be anything from changing or deleting folders/ files or any other "changes" that it was not there previously
You usually get those by changing the file name sometimes on some roms it's best to delete itto save space if you get it then redo it without naming it just have to remember the one it is lol

Hey guys, I am pretty new when it comes to rooting/installing ROMs but I flashed Tommy's Classic Evo ROM. Everything was working fine. I ran my Titanium backup for my apps+system data overnight and this morning it asked me to reboot. I did, but this time, the phone would not get past the black loading screen where the HTC symbol is animated. I tried flashing the ROM again and I am faced with the same issue.
I really liked the speed of the ROM so I was wondering if anyone could perchance help me out. Thank you very much.
Maybe a bad download. Check the md5 sum if you can

Well I don't know if the classic Rom shows md5. When you download the Rom, look for something that says "MD5" or MD5 sum. Then copy that string of characters and get a program called winmd5. Install and tell it to put it in the right click menu or something similar. Then once you have classic downloaded and md5 copied, right click on the file go to send to, and look for winmd5. It will calculate the md5, so just paste the copied md5 into the second box and click compare.
It shows if you have a bad download.

Thanks for the info, I'll try it out.
When u restore from TiBu don't restore system data it will cause errors, just like you're seeing. Only restore missing apps, then after the apps are restored restore data only for user apps that u absolutely don't wanna lose data for like games, anything else just redo the settings or you'll end up in a situation like you're in now

Yep, it was indeed the system data recovery that was messing it up. Thanks for the advice.
I have a verizon galaxy nexus and I flashed a 4.2.2 rom a few weeks back and made a backup of the stock 4.1.1 one so that I can go back when/if 4.2 came out for it. So the other day I tried to go back to the stock rom using CWM and when I selected the 4.1 backup it told me that the MD5 sum of the backup did not match and it would go no further so something happened during the backup im guessing.
What can I do to get back onto 4.1 so I can flash the leaked 4.2.2 update for the phone?
I do have a backup of stock 4.0.3 which I can go back to but if I try to install 4.1 from there it fails because in that 4.0 backup I was running a modified version of gmail and it wants the unmodified version installed. I fixed this problem before but its been a while and I dont remember what I did, it was something where I had to download the system image from google use tool to extract the gmail app from there but i dont remember the specifics.
Any suggestions?

Did you happen to change the name of the backup? Or you could try disabling the check?

I dont think I changed the name but I cant remember for sure.
How do I disable the check and what are the consequences of flahing a rom with a bad MD5 sum?
Try this.
