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 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.

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.

Hey XDA,
I will be receiving a new S3 from T-Mobile tomorrow and was wondering if there are any ways to transfer everything from your old device to your new as if it were the same. My phone is currently rooted and running CM10. Will this cause any problems? Looking for the most efficient and error-free way possible, thank you so much for all your help!
Nandroid.

Meaning the full backups I would do in TWRP right?
Would this cause a problem though if I did this backup and used the exact same file to restore onto a new device? I heard it didnt.
Thanks!

Is your current phone the same as the phone you're getting tomorrow? If they are exactly the same, nandroid is the best way.
+Cool story, bro!
+The "Thanks" you get from me is not just thanks, but can be laughing, props, +1, and so on
Just to be clear, only restore the data portion of the nandroid.
And this is only because you are going to remain on cm10.
If you are going to a different version, or different base, you're best off only restoring certain items, such as contacts.
Titanium backup is also highly recommended.

Presuming you know what nandroid and titanium back up do and also both require you to be rooted.
I would suggest nandroid if your old and new phones are of the same make.
Else use titanium backup back up only the "user" apps and transfer the Titanium Backup folder into your new phone and then restore.
I do the same and frankly for me it is trouble free.
Hope this helps. :thumbup:

Yeah, I will be getting the exact same phone. I just need to flash and root it up once I get it. Will different basebands cause a problem or does that need to be the same as well?
Baseband is your modem which is separate from everything else. It is generally not backed up and you dont have to worry about it.

Hey, guys. I'm looking for some help here. I've been having some trouble with a few recent ROMs. I try to do a full wipe and do a fresh install of the new ROM, but I get an error saying something about being unable to read the lost + found file. I think it was deleted somehow because I can't find it. Does anyone know how to get it back? Can I possibly just reinstall a recovery or something? I don't actually know where the file even comes from to begin with.
Bump. Really needing some help.
Have you tried restoring a nandroid back up?? (If any)
At least you can start your search for a solution with a working phone.

I don't have a recent Nandroid backup at the moment. My last one would take me straight from AOSP 4.3.1 all the way back down to TW 4.1.2 and I just don't like that idea. It's caused me complications before.
File explorer?

Have you tried using a file explorer and looked to /data and in there do you happen to see a folder named lost+found? Suggest using ES File Explorer to look through the contents of your phone.

Weird.. Are the contents of each of them the same?? If thats the case then it may have occurred when flashing roms and an not fully wiping.
