If you did not rename your backup then it is possible the backup did not complete properly and the total bytes do not add up to the MD5 sum marked in the beginning of the file.

is there any way to fix this?

If you have ADB set up you can try these to restore a MD5 mismatch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976453
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1271628&page=2
But they may be corrupted. Since you are trying advanced data restore only it may work.

I've also replied to past posts with that same fixing method, I think I'm going to hunt down my thread later and post it in my sig.
If it isn't corrupt, then you can also use terminal emulator if you don't want to use adb shell. Just make sure you type in 'su' first to give terminal emulator admin rights.

This is my 1st actual post for development...so I hope you enjoy what I have to give!
I know this isn't long, since this isn't a ROM, so there aren't any changelogs or that kind of stuff.
Basically what this is, is a myTouch 4G radio flasher, it automatically puts your desired Radio onto you SD Card without you having to type it.
So...without further ado...here it is:

This is NOT an apk.
This file has a .rar extension. I have checked this package.
Two files:
1) READ THIS FIRST!.txt
Instructions!!:
1. You MUST have already downloaded AndroidSDK, if not, search it on Google.
2. MUST HAVE S-OFF FOR THIS TO WORK!
3. Download your desired Sensation Radio and rename it to PD15IMG.zip(if not already named that)
4. Put the Radio(.zip file) into your C:/AndroidSDK/platform-tools/ directory(if not, rename the SDK tools folder to AndroidSDK)
5. Once you've done that, plug your myTouch 4G in your USB port and put charge only on the phone.
6. Double-click the Batch file in the folder and wait for it to do its magic.
7. Once it's done rebooting into bootloader, wait a bit and some green lettering should come up.
8. After a few seconds, it should find the Radio, if it does, just press the Volume UP button to start the update(it's either
Volume UP or another button, should say).
9. Once update is complete, reboot and enjoy your new Radio!

Code:

echo Putting your desired Radio onto your SD Card...
cd C:/AndroidSDK\platform-tools/
adb push PD15IMG.zip /sdcard/PD15IMG.zip

echo DONE! :)
pause
exit
Conclusion:
This is a bat file for WINDOWS USERS.
It needs the SDK installed or adb(android debug bridge) in it's PATH!
It will only place the modified PD15IMG.zip on the sdcard so that when it reboots into bootloader/spl(second partition loader) it reads and updates the device.
**Remember, if you use this method, you must erase the PD15IMG.zip from the sdcard root directory. What happens is if you don't erase it, every time you reboot/boot into the spl, it will read the PD15IMG.zip and update it again.**

Why would you need to do all that when you can simply download a radio in our thread put it on the root of sdcard and boot into bootloader? Waste of time and the o.p clearly did something wrong to get banned

1kb file is probably just a small script... Don't judge an app like this by it's small size, text files are never really huge. If it's a script with 3 simple lines, then it makes sense.
I haven't looked at it myself... But I suggest you all keep flashing as you normally did. It's not complicated.
the thing is, why would you need an App to flash the radio when the device can do it via HBoot?
that was already strange in itself....

Moreover, the major problem is that there isn't any reference to md5 checksum whatsoever- Flashing a corrupted radio file could result in major headache.
The OP should add this into the instructions (between steps 3 and 4), and could also be nice if the script could also include md5 checking...

That'll be kinda hard since the OP has been banned (at least for now), but yeah lack of MD5 verification was the first thing I thought of when I read the description.
you know what's easy? Download all the radio files putting each one in a separate folder. Verify MD5 so you know you have good downloads. Put all those folders in a "Radio" folder on your SD card. Then you just copy the one you need into the root directory of your SD card when you need to reflash.
Not sure why you'd need a script for this.

I don't need a script for this, I was just trying to find some justification for the OP's post, which actually does almost nothing other than push a non-checked file.
Anyway, op is banned and we added to the thread a warning to check md5 for whoever reads this.. probably more than enough.

[REF][GUIDE]CWM md5 mismatch problem solved

So, many of you probably faced the issue, when you tried to restore your CWM backup, that the recovery says MD5 mistmach, and will do nothing. The problem is now solved, and was solved, so I'm not the one, who made thing possible, I'm just porting this to the V.
So, the problem (in my iterations at least) are based on the /cache/ cannot be mounted error, which is common in the V. For why is that, I simply don't have a clue, but it is present. Because of this, the backup won't be full, and thus, the md5 image won't be made for the recovery, so cannot be recovered as is.
But happily you can make an md5 image from the backup yourself, and thus recover your backup.
WARNING!​

There are three ways for you, to make an md5 sum of the img files, the good and the bad one and also the quoted one:
One (the good)
For this, you will need adb, root, and a working android. Yo don't have it? Here you go.
Go to the directory, were you have adb (or have extracted adb.exe, suggested c:\htc\), then plug in your phone (just for charge, no data connection), open terminal (syntax: cmd) then type in:
adb shell
this will get you to the phone's terminal
if you have # at the end of the line, you are good to go, if not, then type su
The syntaxes needed:
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/{recovery_timestamped_directory} <- this is from your backup, so you need to fill in appropirate data
md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will make an md5 image with the name that cwm acknowledges.
Two (the bad one)
So, you'we fired your ROM, cannot even boot, but cwm comes in. Than this is for you. There are programs (e.g. total commander) which can make md5 images. So if you have your backup folder, just go into it (sd card reader is preferred). You will see something like this in it:
.android_secure.vfat.tar
boot.img
data.ext4.tar
{nandroid.md5}
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
sidenote:
If you have the nandroid.md5 and you cannot recover, don't try to recover from it!!!
The image itself is corrup, you have no luck, try RUU. (you can recover if you delete the md5 and create a new, but it is not really recommended)
1.
So, there are 2 .img files, highlight them in totalcommander. go to file->create checksum files
2.
tick in md5, then ok
3.
No, you're not done
open the md5 file in text editor, and remove the * 's from before the file names.
4.
Rename the file to nandroid.md5
5.
Now you're done, go to cwm, then recover.
Three (the quoted one)
Also on the 2nd page you will find an alternative solution for the problem which can help you if you have got busybox installed on your device.
The solution resembles the One type of fix, so with quotes here's the one (thanx for Meeshka for it).

if you send me the 2 img files i can create an appropirate md5 image of them, but send the one you did, so I can guess what the problem is.
send them to the email of my usr here, or in pm. and mainly, the md5 image has the name "nandroid.md5" like small caption all the way, even the md5? If it is there where it must, it must work, ad absurd it will be "wrong checksum error", but that is another version.
General android section has this, I have learned this from there, but it had only 1st option, and was "discovered" when cwm had generated wrong md5s, the V, in the V the problem is a tad bit different, but the solution is the same.
I fixed it in adb

Just created an md5sum manualy from the img files with the name of nandroid.md5, because on the V the recovery doesn't creates them because of cache mount problem.
The recovery process will end in an error message, because cache cannot be recovered, but the main thing will be recovered this way.

I have done the thing with a legacy tcmd, so there is a probability, that they have modified the md5sum algorithm, so if you don't se the stars don't panic. (also it should do the trick even with stars in the file, but wanted to be sure at the time I wrote the post)

Stucked at TMobile 4G LTE Screen (settings.db mess)

Hello,
I was trying to edit my note 3 settings.db file to add the MobileData toggle at the notification panel.
After I edited the file, I rebooted the phone and Now I am stucked at the Tmobile 4G lte screen.
I have saved the original settings.db file so I can replace the modified one but the problem is that now that the phone doesn't turn on I can't replace it.
Is there anyway to fix this without installing everything from zero again???
Thank You
P.s
I tried to boot in safe mode but the phone doesn't boot even like this.
I tried to wipe cache, but nothing changed
As for the recovery mode, I can boot there
Boot to recovery and use adb console from your pc to swap the files. Learn some Linux command line commands if you don't know how. Primarily you will use cp target.file destination . file. Make a backup if you want via mv.

Another question, as I am not managing to over pass this error close message from adb.
If I install 4.4.2 again from download mode will I lose my settings, applications and everything else that I have installed before???
Odin doesn't wipe anything, but the re install would overwrite much of your personalizations. Boot into recovery, do a nandroid backup, then boot into download and Odin and restore. When you're up again, download nandroid manager from play store and select what you want to restore from your nandroid backup you made. Be sure to save it in a persistent partition, external SD if possible.

[Q] Gnex stucks on Nexus logo

Hello guys, I need your help with the Gnex.
My friend gave me the phone hoping that I can do something. It stucks on nexus logo while booting. USB debugging is turned off, cwm or twrp is not installed. All I can is to enter Android system recovery with the following options: apply update from adb; apply update from usb drive; wipe data factory reset; wipe cache partition.
I've tried wiping cache partition but is doesn't help. Please advice whether wiping data/factory reset will delete the data from internal SD card - I am afraid to lose the photos.
Please advice what should I do to extract data (photos) in my situation?
Thanks in advance to everyone.

before using device too much, quick go to galaxy nexus general section here, and find thread "internal data recovery, yes we can"
you might be able to recover deleted photos.
the way it works when you delete things, is it just tells os that the space isnt being used, so the actual data might still be there and some may still be recoverable.
it is quite a process though. good luck

Thank you for your help. I've followed to step 6, but unfortunalely, RAW file is 0 b after creation. I've tried different numbers in this name mmcblk0p12.raw - but with no effect.. Tried to reinstall cygwin, used NetCat file insted of NC - all the same.
Maybe anyone faced this problem with 0 b size of the RAW file? Maybe it's because I have less than 15 Gb of free space on my disk C?
Would be grateful for your advices.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I'm trying to recover. By the way, do you know what does the phrase from the recover guide "ADB (make sure adb.exe is in your path)" mean? Which path?

I'd like to try explaining this a little better. Basically when using a program from the command prompt in any OS the OS needs to know where the program is (this is not just for command prompt, but I digress). There are a few ways of telling the OS where the program you want to use is located.
For example, lets say you have ADB in the folder "android_stuff" on your E drive.
Option 1: Change Directory to the folder, IE: "cd android_stuff"
Option 2: Provide the "full path name" of the program, "e:\android_stuff\adb"
Option 3: Add the folder location to the system "path"
Options 1 and 2 are fairly easy and straightforward, whereas Option 3 can be done in a few ways.
My suggestion is to go with Option 1, its the easiest and all you would have to do is put all of the files you will be using into a single folder.

TWRP MD5 hash check of data partition backup fails

I want to update LineageOS and created a backup before attempting the update. Unfortunately the MD5 checksums of the the data partition files data.ext4.win000 and data.ext4.win001 don't check out. Even after several tries.
Is anyone else having this problem?
My TWRP Version is 3.1.1-0-0

Do you mean you created a backup successfully but then when you attempt restore the checksum It fails?
Or do you mean during backup?

The backup runs through without any errors.
When I tried to restore a backup about a month ago the checksum was incorrect and the restore failed. Therefore I reinstalled Lineage OS from scratch.
It was okay because the install was still quite fresh at that time anyway.
This time I wanted the verify the checksums in advance on my pc. The checksums of the boot.emmc.win and system.ext4.win files are fine.
Only the two data partition files fail to verify.

OK, I understand now. I ran a backup with TWRP 3.1.1-3 (tryout) & like you it ran fine. I can't really check md2 checksum at the moment as away on holiday & haven't found a good app that does md2 (tried Hash Droid but it just gives error msg even though permissions set correctly etc).
What are you using on PC to check?

I'm using Hashtab which nicely integrates into the file property window in Windows.
But you could also use this command line utility which is already part of Windows:
Code:
CertUtil -hashfile C:\TEMP\MyDataFile.img MD5

OK, will have a look at it when get back to my PC. I've never tried it on PC. I have TWRP set to use SHA2 checksum. Have you tried that?

No, I didn't know I could change the checksum algorithm. I'll try that!
Edit: I couldn't find a setting to change the checksum algorithm. Where can you set it? Maybe the option was introduced in your newer TWRP version?

It's the last option in settings, it's partially obscured on my i9195 & I need to scroll up to see it fully (using ne0zone build from XDA thread)

hmm, I don't seem to have as many settings as you. I don't need to scroll. I've attached a screenshot.
If the hash verification works for you I'll install your twrp version
