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.

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.

Because no one knows how to search? And it's easier to find on the OP.

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.

That make sense. I've tried letting some of the developers know but they never respond to anyone.

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 heard this works after a good search through sum threads there is also
Did you rename the back up and insert spaces?
Nandroids can't have spaces in them
so instead of having viper 2.7
you'd have viper2.7
etc
I used this method (someone posted it before you guys on a German forum)

Thank you this worked for me when I face this problem
Ok I use Nandroid recovery to restore my phones instead or a backup app simply because (1) I'm a cheap bastage and (2) nandroid works from one phone to another as long as I root it, and I have a question. How do I delete a nandroid backup? I have three on the phone right now and I want to delete them and make a new one.
If its on the sd card somewhere, PLEASE be as specific with the file path as possible because I'm as literate about these things as a dead frog.
Al that I am sure of is rooting my Epic is easy as long as I watch qbkikng videos and whoever made cwm recovery is a friggin genius
Nandroid backups only work with the same model phone. I.e. you have a nandroid backup before flashing on an Epic, the flashing bricks it so you get a new Epic, you can restore the backup as long as you're rooted. Also the file path using CWM recovery is /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup

Thanks, I know it only works with the same model phone, that makes sense to me I got my second replacement Epic in 6 days yesterday and had to root it to make it work the first one wouldn't connect to the network so it was defective according to Spring and this one basically was a good as a dead cat before root, now it runs like a champ but Titanium backup dumped 70% of my apps, so luckily for me I remembered make a nandroid backup only thing is now that everything is updated, I want to make a NEW backup just in case.
I see you already got your answer, but please next time post questions in Q&A section not development, Thanks!
Kenny, mind moving this when you get a sec?!?!
Moved!

Sorry if I put it in the wrong place.
I honestly thought I posted this in Q&A ( guess that would explain why I couldn't find it till now)
My screen got broken, and I got a new phone from insurance. I was on 4.3.1, and did a CWM backup which was stored in secure area. I used ADB to copy it off to my PC>
I now have my new phone, and it is 4.1.2. I installed CWM, and copied the files from the PC to the Clockworkmod/Backup directory, now on SD card. When I try to restore, I get a MD5 check error. From both backups.
Do you reckon I need to do something special to restore a CWM to a different phone? Or something about the fact it is 4.2.1, and I'm trying to restore a 4.3.1 backup?
Any thoughts appreciated.
Well, I have tried several things. The backup must just be bad. CWM seems to always fail me when I really need it to work.
I would have used TWRP...but my screen was dead, and so couldn't control TWRP.
Sigh...

Many thanks! This looks promising. I'm doing a TWRP backup of what I have now, and will put CWM back on and give it a try. I'll report back how it goes.

Well, that link is great. It does indicate how to restore the md5, and get the restore going. However, in my case, the data will not restore. So my CWM backup is no good.
Back to TWRP for me.
Appreciate your help.
