You can get MD5 fixer from Root Tool Box Pro...Only the pro version though...I hope this helps...
Thanks guys

Did you rename the nandroid? If you did and there are any spaces in your new name, that is the issue. Rename the backup again replacing any spaces with "-" or "_" and you should be good to go.

Try flashing a diff ROM if it works then its the download if not then further troubleshooting is needed.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
definitely sounds like a bad download
This is actually the second rom I tried to flash.
First rom was miui and it said the something. I thought it was just a bad link.
Second rom was Tuesday and the problem reaccured.
I am beginning to think it's my phone.

hmmm got me beat.
you can try tdj's super wipe and wipe everything clean
you can try flashing a new CWM
try another ROM?
another microsd?
go back to stock and flash again?
if none of those works then yeah... don't know what to say. make sure to check the md5 to save yourself a lot of time
If you don't mind explaining, what's. Md5?

yup. not from any folders.
oh sorry didn't see this post, but basically the MD5 checksum allows us to check if the file we downloaded exactly matches the original file
example (not real obviously)
Thursday ROM has a MD5 of 1234abcde
but what you downloaded has 2234abcde
that means you have a bad download. there is probably a couple bytes different in your download.
like both files can both be 300.1MB
but they might actually be 300.12 and yours is 300.10
THATS why md5 saves us a lot of time
NOT all md5 are listed, but thats the gist of it.
oh and remember your SDCARD card is
sdcard/external_sd/
That's the thing I tried a couple of roms and they all failed. So I'm pretty sure it's my phone.
In this case scenario what should I do to re root my phone. I know there's a couple different ways such as unrooting to sell.
So which method should I approach?
Thanks for all your help btw!

You don't need to Reroot, rooting is just superuser.. it just sounds like you need to get a new recovery that's all. You're already rooted right?
then just download Rom manager and reflash the CWM recovery in there.
Yes i am rooted. Can you link me to a site where I can dl a rom manager?

Most likely a bad download. Check the md5 sum to see if its a match.

I tried checking md5 sum via astro
File manager. Theres no md5 sum. Wierd

Download md5 checker from the market.

Are you using your phone to download the rom? Use PC for sure and check md5 on there.

I tried out a different ROM last night, decided to revert to CM9 via my nandroid backup, but when I select the backup I get a message "MD5 mismatch" and the restore fails. Anyone have an explanation for this?

For the MD5 to match, the folder (and path) has to have EXACTLY the same name as when you created it.
If you can't remember what it was, just redo the MD5.
Thank you. I had changed the folder name and added spaces. Never would have thought that would mess it up. Thanks again.

Pretty much ANYTHING will cause an MD5 mismatch to be thrown. Learned that yesterday
If you have multiple backups and need to rename them you can edit the names with Rom Manager. Its the only way I know of that won't cause MD5 mistmatches. Also some people have success just renaming but without any spaces.

That depends if you have custom recovery installed or not. If you do there is an option to make a nandroid backup under backups and storage.

You are stock. Are you rooted? Do you know how to root?
Edit: I read in other thread that you think you are rooted. Can you download root checker from play store and verify?

Now you find one of the "rogue" kernels. Look for el29 rogue kernel. After getting that kernel you need to use odin. That kernel is a zip. So we need a tar version of the el26 kernel. That one is by chris41g. You load up the drivers for this phone(setting up samsung kies is easiest.). Then you download odin 1.85. Install and open it. In the pda slot put the el26 kernel. Do not touch anything else. Click start. By the way should have said this earlier. Once odin is installed turn your phone off. Push and hold volume down and powerbutton simultaneously then keep holding until you see a warning in green.push volume up. Now you are in download mode. Connect your phone via usb. You should see the first box in odin pop up with a number. If not do not proceed. It does not matter what numbers are in the box as long as there is a number. Now put the el26.tar into ghe pda slot. Then press start. Once done,push and hold volume up until you get to recovery then let go. Now use the volumes to scroll to backup and restore. Click it then backup. This is only taking a system image. If you want the contents of your as card backed up you need to transfer those files to your computer.

No thats not it either. If you look after directbootCWM there is the version number you also have version 3. I am loooking for version 1. Thank you though.
There should be no difference... v1 had trouble with proper md5 checksum on odin so it was fixed in v3... I used to have v1 since I -ustar the original one. I think I do have the original one, but why don't you just use el26cwm if you are just trying to flash a modem?
here's the original http://db.tt/wdhp9WiT I believe it will only work on mobile Odin though
