I tried restoring 4 backups I made with CWM and the MD5 values didn't match. I successfully restored 1. What causes this and is there a way to test in advance if the backup was corrupt?
Is my reasoning wrong: I'm trying out different ROMs and before I flash to a new one I backup with CWM so when I decide which one I like I flash back to it?
Thanks for any replies.
It happens to me everytime I change the name of the backup folder and left an "space"
For Example:
"Arconium 5 backup" = MD5 mismatch... I need to name it "Arconium5backup" without spaces to make it work
...format sd from pc.
Inviato da me!

The generated folder name cant be changed, well it can but if you want to restore using it you will need to rename it back to what it was.

use TWRP recovery. from there, when you go to RESTORE, you can choose to restore only DATA or BOOT or SYSTEM.... you wipe everything, flash your desired rom, then go to recovery (be sure to backup your old rom first) and from there you go to restore - data. done!

Is there a way to do that with CWM? Or with ROM manager or another software instead of me having to download and install TWRP? What happens if I flash twrp while I already have cwm? Will I end up with two recoveries? Or how will that work?

go tell the developer and not here, he's really helpful
Hi, I searched the forum and didn't seem to find much on this, only on "fake notifications" of low space when there is space.
My problem is a little different, my phone reports almost nothing being on it, but my available space is only 1.32 Gb out of 12 available.
When adding up the things stored in it though, it gets only to about 5 Gb (see print screen). Where is the rest of this stuff coming from? How can I clean it safely?
I am running Frosty JB v7 currently, on stock li7 kernel. And i have barely any apps installed.
My guess is the files from apps I installed prior to flashing Frosty JB are still there somewhere, even though i did a factory reset. (i had a few big games like Shadowgun, nova 3, Riptide GP, and a few more, lots of smaller games too. If this is the case, how can I remove them safely? )
Guys, i'm sorry about bumping my own post like this, but please, can anyone help?

First off, do you have any items in your recycle bin from your internal storage? If so, empty your recycle bin and check your storage. Secondly, check inside your internal storage for your CWM or TWRP folder. Check to see how many backups you have located in those folders, because twrp and cwm wipes wont delete nandroid backups. Do a factory wipe from stock and you should be good.
Did you wipe system before installing your current rom?
I think mattedwards2686 has your ansewer, nandroid backups.

No. Nandroid backups would be under miscellaneous. I just checked.

Best option is superwipe. I am using frosty and had the same issue - it helped. Other options discussed here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004089

I had the exact same issue on my G2X. Wiping everything including system fixed it. Make a backup of your apps and stick them on your pc for safe keeping. Wipe/format everything. Install your favorite rom and reinstall your apps with titanium backup.

thank you for the help guys, i used super wipe, and now, instead of 1Gb free, i have 10Gb o/
I was a little reluctant in wiping everything and starting from 0 again, but used the new update on frosty as an excuse
Hey guys i made a nand backup and now i want to restore it and all it says is MD5 mismatch.. Im using N7100 with CWM.. help thanks
This is a security feature.
If it wasn't there you could have got an error or even though it restored normally you would have a soft bricked phone.
Md5 mismatch means that the backup is corrupted. I don't think it can be helped in any way.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
This is common issue, particularly if you have moved /rename folder
Sometime it happens without any reason
I exactly don't remember but there is adb command to disable MD5 check
Try searching it otherwise will post tomorrow i wrote somewhere on my office pc.
Just to note if your backup is corrupted it may restore corrupt data,

With a root explorer, go to the backup folder of clockworkmod. Then in your backup folder you have to delete file named nandroid.md5 which already contains entries and create a new empty one with the same name. Then you can restore your backup without md5sum checking.
The title explains it.
If i had made a full nandroid backup,(system,data,boot,modem), is it possible to extract an app and its data?

Yes, it can be done. You can unzip tar.gz archives on Linux natively or on WinRAR. After that, its only a matter of finding the apk you want and extracting it to the system.
Data can be done the same way if you know where an apps associated files are.

Can you tell me what is mcRegistry?
It was in the backed up /app folder
Easiest way is to use Titanium backup, it have option to restore application from nandroid backup, you can select application you want to restore.
Even no need to eatract, TB will do job.
Open TB - Menu - Extract from Nandroid backup.

Yes, that would be beneficial if you only wanted to restore the apps. Many of the ROM devs use the method I mentioned to get a perfect dump of the stock ROM and then work on it.
Who knows, OP maybe getting into developing. And using TB is just having an extra app on the phone.

Uh, I currently don't have access to a PC, can you tell me what's inside folder? If that's what's in the second screenshot, then you don't have to worry. It's not connected to the app data in any way.

here is my log from cwm recovery
please help
Are you using CWM? Did you rename the backup folder? If you used spaces while renaming it will give an md5 mismatch.

Create a blank text and rename it to nandroid.md5, the recovery will skip it and everything will be fine

If nandroid manager doesn't work, the only thing I can think of is to try upgrading to CWM 6 and see if it helps. Probably won't work if the backup is hosed though.

This is only a wild shot in the dark but have you tried renaming your nandroid.md5 to nandroid.md5.bak and then creating a new, blank nandroid.md5 like andhikafajarms said a few posts up? Other than that, I think your best bet is just to reinstall the ROM you are trying to restore. It sucks but it may be easier.
