hi
so i have installed cm9 alpha 7 and made a nandroid backup before through with the help of cwm recovery. when i tried to revert back through the same menu it gave md5 mismatch error, i have seen on other sections of this forums and they do have fixes for htc one and hd2... any fixes for wildfire s ??
let me know if it wasnt clear enough !!
thanks
just writing it here so that someone may get help from this post
well i have gone through some forums and the adb shell method written their didint worked out
i figured out i have renamed the folders from the cwm restore format to my own, so i reverted them back and the phone is restoring now
hit thanks if it helped you
Did you make a backup with a different CWM and try to restore it with a another version? Let's say you did a backup with version 3.X.X and then you tried to restore it with version 5.X.X, did you do that? If so revert back to your original CWM that you made a back up with. Also did you rename the backup file? That could cause a MD5 mismatch. Hope this helps
well as mentioned in second post, i have resolved the problem ... cwm recovery versions are same but i did "renamed" the folder. i reverted to original name and it restored well.
The problem is that cwm does not allow spaces in the name of the backup file....thus the following error arises.

Hello all, I have recently had problems restoring my nandroid backups.
I think it's because of Clockwork, but I'm not sure.
I get this message after checking for MD5 sums..
error while flashing boot image! /tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/cloclworkmod/recovery.log please open ROM manager to report the issue.
Any ideas on how I can use my nandroid back ups? I want to go back to FreshEvo for a while.
Were you using clockwork when you created the backups? I've had problems when I've made a backup under one recovery, then updated the recovery, then couldnt get my backups to work.
For some backups yes, but not the one I'm trying to go back to.
I tried restoring with nandroid and clockwork and both give me the same error.
I am using amon-ra so this might not help you.
I was not able to restore even after turning off the phone. After several tries I removed the battery and I was able to restore. Just turning it off did not do the trick. Really odd.

For a nandroid restore to work properly in CWM, the path to the images needs to be EXACTLY the same as it was when you created it. For example, if when you did the backup, the file was located in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012.06.30.07.30.00, then you need to make sure that that path is exactly the same. Otherwise, you will need to regenerate the MD5, and then it will work by doing this:
adb shell
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-06-30.07.30.00
rm nandroid.md5
md5sum *.* > nandroid.md5
exit
EDIT: And please change your title. Your phone is not bricked. Bricked means it is as useful as a brick -- i.e., it does not work anymore and it cannot be fixed without returning it. You may have messed up the firmware, but your device certainly works just fine.

What recovery are you using and how exactly did you try to restore?
If you renamed the backup make sure there are no spaces

If you can get to recovery then you are definitely NOT bricked.

Hi guys
I'm having g some weird issues I have a gs3 from bell. I rooted it and been flashing all kinds of Roms and never having any issues going back to restoring stable Roms until I decided to try twrp recovery but I noticed that I couldn't restore anything backed up by cwm so I flashed cwm though Rom manager and since then whenever I try to backup a Rom it finishes then when I try to restore them they say md5 mismatch. So after a lot of research I managed to notice that cwm isn't making any nandroid md5 files.
So my question is have I flashed a bad version of cwm through Rom manager or may I have just screwed my phones files somehow I was thinking of uprooting my phone and rerooting it but I don't know if that will fix this. Please help
*deleted*
Good luck
Just so u know i've read through that 3 times already I don't have that issue ... I dOnt have a nandroid md5 like showing up in any of my backups so thanks for nothing if you would have read my post you would have understood That already

Hi, I am still having the same problem as you, and I bought Cwm touch from rom manager and i created a backup and when i restore it it says md5 mistmatch.. So did you get a different older version of cwm? How did you end up using the backup that you couldn't open? Thanks for your help
I flashed PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 BETA3 from stock DLK4, 4.1.1. It worked but I was ready to revert back to the stock using the nandroid I made before flashing and realized that I did a factory reset when flashing pdroid and lost my nandroid backups. Fortunately I have older Nandroids from 12.12 on my pc. I placed it into the clockworkmod directory, sdcard\clockworkmod\backups, as I normally would but when I reboot into recovery I don't see the nandroid that I placed there. What do I do from here? I tried to do a factory reset from kies of DLK4 but afterwards I get stuck on the "Samsung" loading screen.
Any help would be appreciated. I spent the last 4 hours going through treads as I normally do when having problems but I created my first thread because I screwed up beyond what I can repair myself
edit: while in recovery, I made a backup of pdroid2.99 to see where it saved. When I opened the directly using my pc, I couldn't find that backup I just made. I put the nandroid onto my external sd card and that I could see it in recovery but I get the following error "Error while restoring /system!"

You flashed a 4.2 ROM with an out of date recovery by the sound of it. 4.2 modifies the directory structure of you're phone which is unsupported in old recoveries. I run TWRP myself and I just moved my backups to my new root folder which can be found in: /storage/emulated/0
CWM stores recoveries in blobs and I'm unsure if this method will work for you. Your only option if that doesn't work is to ODIN back to stock. Once you've performed an ODIN back, go into your recovery and factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik.
Then update your recovery for future flashes. I recommend TWRP. Overall an easier recovery.

I successfully flashed back to stock 4.1.1 using ODIN using the rom I got from samsung-updates. I've lost IMEI so I have to inject l that back later on. I'm using CWM 6.0.1.2 and when in recovery when I try to restore my backup and get to "error while restoring /system!"
I've been trying to find other threads, tried what they suggested but no luck
edit: I've found TWRP v2.3.3.1 and but I don't see /storage/emulated/0 instead I put my backup in /storagr/TWRP/BACKUPS/911de9 and tried to restore but it fails
What I did was make a nandroid on the ROM you have and just copy and paste the old one into the new directory and you can flash that old nandroid. Worked perfect for me

This is what I typically do but now I get "error while restoring /system!" when restoring any of my old nandroid backups!
Why I like twrp. Maybe most of it is just a placebo but it seems more stable and easier to navigate

Hey guys, I'm having a problem restoring my stock Touchwiz backup. Every time I try to restore it I get the md5 mismatch error. I'm using CWM recovery 6.0.4.5 from this thread. All my other backups work just fine. Now I did move my backup from my phone to my computer to save room on my SD card and moved it back when I wanted to restore it. I wonder if this could have changed the md5? Also the backup's name has no spaces, wish it was that simple to fix lol. I've seen a couple other threads to fix the md5 mismatch issue but wanted to see if someone who's experienced this could point me into the right direction. Thank you.
