Are you using CWM? Did you rename the backup folder? If you used spaces while renaming it will give an md5 mismatch.

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

Try Nandroid Manager, it has a feature to Generate MD5, It's on Google Play

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.

Cool! Thanks!
If you have clockwork, you can easily re-name them in rom mananger, just click manage backups, pick the selected, then rename.

no spaces! stay away from special characters too. 2-3-12 is fine though.
Don't rename tho folder that they are in though.
Is there a safe way to rename the backups we make in CWM ? It currently labels them as "2011-05-22.17.55.36" depending on date/time .... I wanna be able to rename it so I know what is actually on that particular backup ; such as "SRF-1.1.1" "UrbanFury" , etc. When I renamed them before and then tried to restore , it wouldn't work. Anyone find a solution to this ?
use rom manager to rename, or just rename the directory in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/

That's what I have already done in the past , and when I tried to restore my back-up it wouldn't work ...was wondering if anyone else had actually renamed their backups and then successfully restored them. Maybe the way I was renaming them was wrong ? I need to leave spaces between words ? I need to include date/time format ?
I haven't done it before... but try changing to the 2 in 2011 to a letter. Sfr = s urban fury = u... see if it works.

Sounds Good = I hadn't tried that option yet.....now I gotta make another backup before I try renaming my last backup....LOL
the directory name doesnt matter at all... just dont leave any space, you may need to regenerate nandroid.md5 i dont know.. but if so its easy enough
in a shell goto your new backup directory
Code:
md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
BTW i have a script to make and restore nandroid backups.. not using the builtin cwm functions, useful for installs and i guess maybe your situation of naming it whatever you want..
If you back it up in CWM and then boot up and open Rom Manager you can click manage, hold down the backup you want to edit and choose rename. It works just fine, this is how I keep track of my backups.

So - is it OK to just rename as "SRF " "UrbanFury" "Frankenstein" "SuperNova" etc ? Do I need to have date/time in there or anything else ?

Yea, its meant to be run from recovery in install scripts, but could be run from a shell... it has to be in recovery to do the system partition.. suppose the backup can be run from a shell regardless though...

can I rename like you are suggesting (Bonsai411.6.1.2011) by connecting to my PC or will this only work via ROM Manager ?
I use es file explore and I just rename it to what ever the rom name is. For example I backup bonsai 4.1.1 and I named it bonsai. I was able to restore it with no problem. I also backed up marcusant rom and just renamed it gingerbread and I was able to restore with no issues. Hope this helps

OK - I tried your suggestion to rename but I did it on the computer ( don't have much experience with ROM Manager since I've always been told it don't really work on our Epic phone ) .... IT WORKED !!! I just changed the 2011 to UrbanFury and SRF and did restore with No Problemas ( I musta left spaces the first times I tried renaming ) ... so the moral of the lesson is - NO SPACES
I have an additional CWM backup/restore question. Does this back up apps installed on the SD card too, as well as their data? I don't don't know whether or not it matters, but I have CWM 3.0.2.5 and the Swiss Cheese ROM.

No your SD card is seperate storage and can be backed up on a computer.

It doesn't back up the actuall apps, you would need another app for that
like File expert or titanium back up or any other of the multitude of apps out there that do that
I was just wondering if it was possible to rename the backups in root explorer without messing up the md5 sum? I did it a while ago with no issues, but recently did it again, and had md5 mismatch errors. Not sure if it was the rename, or something else? I would like to get some order to my backups, so I know what it's what. Thanks for any info.

I always rename all my backup with no issue. I use the date and what Rom it is to name them. I've done this with a few diff CWM versions and have never had an issue restoring them.
I just use rom manager to rename, never tried through a file program

Thanks guys! Not sure what happened last time.

Yep you can rename with a file manager, just make sure there are no spaces in the name of your backup.

Check for inadvertant spaces in the new name. That WILL cause an issue. Look after any punctuation you might have used.

Why not use Rom Manager, under Manage and Restore Backups?
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.
When creating a recovery on cwm, an I safely name them something other than the date that is given as default?
I ask because the last time I did this, after trying to restore the ROM it came up with an md5 mismatch error and as told the renaming may have causes this?

I have successfully renamed recoveries from the default, and it has always worked.
What might have happened is that you renamed the EXTENSION, make sure you don't rename the .md5 at the end of the file.

Maybe, though I don't see how I could have. Well I'll rename them anyway, I can't re,ember the ROMs simply by what date I saved them! Cheers.

Don't use any spaces when you rename the folder. Eg. RenameBackup instead of Rename Backup.
