**** 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 !
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

I have a few Nandroid backups and I was wondering if there was a way to see what ROM it's from without actually restoring from it.

Unfortunately there's not that I know of, I always label nandroid as soon as I make them to keep from forgetting. If you do start renaming them, make sure there are no spaces in the name otherwise you will get an md5 mismatch error (assuming you are on cwm, TWRP does not have this problem)
You just have to rename your nandroid backups on your computer. It's in your sd folder when you connect your phone under clockworkmod. I have 3 backups, and I name them after the rom /theme that they are.

I am starting to do that, but like the ones from when I began flashing (about a month ago) I have like 5 nandroid right now. I think thats a bit excessive considering that I only used AOKP, Jugg and Stock. And thanks for the heads up about the md5 thingy. I don't rename them on my computer, I upload to box.net and add it in the description. That way I can keep my cluttered computer a bit cleaner. And I have 50GB so it doesn't really matter.
Use ROM Manager for backups as it gives you the option of naming the backup before hand. Personally I'm very specific on the names. I include the ROM, date, and other things like any mods or stuff like that

I use rom manager also... So it's safe when backing up to add the name of the rom at the end of the date that it automatically designates for us? Thanks

Hey XDA friends...seriously over my head noob here, I performed the Odin One Click stock root posted on You Tube by QbKing last week. Maybe two days ago, I lost my status/notification bar as well as the ability to answer phone calls. i can make them tho. Also, my home screen icons are dissappering randomly (possibly only at reboot, I'll have to check on that). This all occurred it seems, when Titanium B/U prompted me to save certain apps to SD. Please help me and i will promise not to ever again take you alls training and long hours learning your craft lighty again! Thx.
Did you keep your data? If so the best way is a totally clean install. Give it another shot.
Thanks
I did in fact do a "save data root", and I'm embarrassed to say, how might I go about performing a clean install, and would I have root privileges after, and finally, any tips or advice on how one might avoid this type of thing in the future? Thank you for taking some of your time to guide the blind and aimless

re download the one click, making sure it is ff18 or el29 depending on whether you want gb or ics, then reflash it in odin using the same video as a guide. Weird you lost that status bar though, usually it won't boot if you had a bad download. I suspect with titanium backup you restored a gingerbread launcher on an ics rom or vice versa. Avoid restoring apps from titanium unless you know what you are doing would be my advice.

Thx for that info cuz I was doing just that.... attempting to restore certain back ups, one being the stock launcher. So are you suggesting a complete wipe and then download and reflash the one click? Honestly, the reason I orginally decided on the root option is sorta of dumb I suppose. I was sure that my ex had installed spyware on my phone and saw root as the only viable option for discovery, I actually like the stock rom and initially really liked the stock w/root. Obiviously I have a lot to learn...and express my genuine appreciation for knowlegdeable people such as yourself for helping me pull my head out my ass inch by inch.:

Also if you have access to a wifi connection or good 4g speeds I would recommend downloading all of your apps again and truly starting from scratch. It should take about an hour to do it all assuming you dont have hundreds of apps.
Just sync your phone now, do the one click, after boot update profile and prl then sign into google account and resync then start setting up apps. This is when you decide if you really need all the crap you previously had on your phone.

also, not sure if i mentioned that initially all functions were operational after ROM flash....it was only after I got to jacking with stuff, did that happen. Oh yeah, also have had a few soft resets occur ass well.
Here, enter the link below in your url bar (assuming you are on Windows). It is sfhub's one click. Just click the file after it downloads and flash it.

Be sure to go to the thread and thank him, just posted the link so you would have the right one.
Word of warning, you are going to lose your apps and will have re download them. If the phone doesn't boot after flashing it, re download again because you simply had a bad download.

Thx....one question. I've read threads, albiet, not really any thing current (like late 2011), expressing bricking issues upgrading from GB to ICS. Should I not stick with GB? Or m I already on ICS? Is the Build no. on my "About Phone" list accurate or does it not recognize modifications?

The link I posted will give you stock rooted ICS. Flashing through odin isn't very dangerous as long as you don't touch your phone while doing it and only flash the file I linked to. And don't restore any titanium backup apps this time unless you can differentiate system apps from store apps.

With restoring your apps. In titanium back up, hit restore missing apps. Then before you hit restore make sure restore only apps not apps+data. This way its only the apps you have downloaded and they are fresh.

Also dont flash anything from the recovery included with stock rom. Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421 or some other safe kernel

It sounds to me like when you used TiBu to move apps to SD you accidently moved system apps including the systemui.apk and dialer and/or contacts possibly. When moving apps to SD thru TiBu never move apks in red, also never restore those apps or their data if you switch to a different rom version

Ah....which is the logical approach in hind sight, thank you for preventing the same from reoccurring AGAIN! You guys are a life saver.....well once again, you guys are life saver, well at the very least, a smartphone saver! Cuz this one has come very close to being spiked like a game winning touchdown more than once. Though I'm well aware who is responsible for its problems. I'm so glad to have checked back before starting over and have since "read the effing manual" on TBU and with your expert advice, I may even be able to salvage what little of my sanity I still possess. Keep the info coming if you've remembered anything else I might be missing or overlooking. Thanks again for your time....as a father of two teenage boys and too many hobbies, I well appreciate how valuable a commodity time is.
Hello guys,
I recently did a backup in CWM of the peoples ROM(CWM 5.x.x.x). Afterwards i renamed the backup to something else with a file manager. Well I was messing around with another installed ROM at the time, the paranoid android jelly bean one and decided to do a restore in CWM 6.0.1.5 and when i choose the one i renamed it's telling me MD5 mismatch. Is there anyway to restore this backup?
Thanks.
Yup. First don't rename backups unless it is with ROM Manager. Second google md5 mismatch backup rename and a few solutions pop up. I wish I could help more but don't rememberthe exact procedure.

thanks, i searched and it led me back to here to one thread which led to another thread with one guy saying you cant have spaces in the backup name. Well i had one space and a damned apostrophe! lol. Got rid of both and my backup is currently restoring fine. Good to know!
Thx.
You are lucky. My first time I tried renaming it back to exactly what cwm made and still got the md5. Glad the easy way worked for you.
