TWRP MD5 hash check of data partition backup fails - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to update LineageOS and created a backup before attempting the update. Unfortunately the MD5 checksums of the the data partition files data.ext4.win000 and data.ext4.win001 don't check out. Even after several tries.
Is anyone else having this problem?
My TWRP Version is 3.1.1-0-0

Do you mean you created a backup successfully but then when you attempt restore the checksum It fails?
Or do you mean during backup?

The backup runs through without any errors.
When I tried to restore a backup about a month ago the checksum was incorrect and the restore failed. Therefore I reinstalled Lineage OS from scratch.
It was okay because the install was still quite fresh at that time anyway.
This time I wanted the verify the checksums in advance on my pc. The checksums of the boot.emmc.win and system.ext4.win files are fine.
Only the two data partition files fail to verify.

OK, I understand now. I ran a backup with TWRP 3.1.1-3 (tryout) & like you it ran fine. I can't really check md2 checksum at the moment as away on holiday & haven't found a good app that does md2 (tried Hash Droid but it just gives error msg even though permissions set correctly etc).
What are you using on PC to check?

I'm using Hashtab which nicely integrates into the file property window in Windows.
But you could also use this command line utility which is already part of Windows:
Code:
CertUtil -hashfile C:\TEMP\MyDataFile.img MD5

OK, will have a look at it when get back to my PC. I've never tried it on PC. I have TWRP set to use SHA2 checksum. Have you tried that?

No, I didn't know I could change the checksum algorithm. I'll try that!
Edit: I couldn't find a setting to change the checksum algorithm. Where can you set it? Maybe the option was introduced in your newer TWRP version?

It's the last option in settings, it's partially obscured on my i9195 & I need to scroll up to see it fully (using ne0zone build from XDA thread)

[Q] md5 sum mismatch

If you did not rename your backup then it is possible the backup did not complete properly and the total bytes do not add up to the MD5 sum marked in the beginning of the file.

If you have ADB set up you can try these to restore a MD5 mismatch:

But they may be corrupted. Since you are trying advanced data restore only it may work.

I've also replied to past posts with that same fixing method, I think I'm going to hunt down my thread later and post it in my sig.
If it isn't corrupt, then you can also use terminal emulator if you don't want to use adb shell. Just make sure you type in 'su' first to give terminal emulator admin rights.

[REF][GUIDE]CWM md5 mismatch problem solved

So, many of you probably faced the issue, when you tried to restore your CWM backup, that the recovery says MD5 mistmach, and will do nothing. The problem is now solved, and was solved, so I'm not the one, who made thing possible, I'm just porting this to the V.
So, the problem (in my iterations at least) are based on the /cache/ cannot be mounted error, which is common in the V. For why is that, I simply don't have a clue, but it is present. Because of this, the backup won't be full, and thus, the md5 image won't be made for the recovery, so cannot be recovered as is.
But happily you can make an md5 image from the backup yourself, and thus recover your backup.

There are three ways for you, to make an md5 sum of the img files, the good and the bad one and also the quoted one:
One (the good)
For this, you will need adb, root, and a working android. Yo don't have it? Here you go.
Go to the directory, were you have adb (or have extracted adb.exe, suggested c:\htc\), then plug in your phone (just for charge, no data connection), open terminal (syntax: cmd) then type in:
adb shell
this will get you to the phone's terminal
if you have # at the end of the line, you are good to go, if not, then type su
The syntaxes needed:
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/{recovery_timestamped_directory} <- this is from your backup, so you need to fill in appropirate data
md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will make an md5 image with the name that cwm acknowledges.
Two (the bad one)
So, you'we fired your ROM, cannot even boot, but cwm comes in. Than this is for you. There are programs (e.g. total commander) which can make md5 images. So if you have your backup folder, just go into it (sd card reader is preferred). You will see something like this in it:
.android_secure.vfat.tar
boot.img
data.ext4.tar
{nandroid.md5}
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
sidenote:
If you have the nandroid.md5 and you cannot recover, don't try to recover from it!!!
The image itself is corrup, you have no luck, try RUU. (you can recover if you delete the md5 and create a new, but it is not really recommended)
1.
So, there are 2 .img files, highlight them in totalcommander. go to file->create checksum files
2.
tick in md5, then ok
3.
No, you're not done
open the md5 file in text editor, and remove the * 's from before the file names.
4.
Rename the file to nandroid.md5
5.
Now you're done, go to cwm, then recover.
Three (the quoted one)
Also on the 2nd page you will find an alternative solution for the problem which can help you if you have got busybox installed on your device.
The solution resembles the One type of fix, so with quotes here's the one (thanx for Meeshka for it).

if you send me the 2 img files i can create an appropirate md5 image of them, but send the one you did, so I can guess what the problem is.
send them to the email of my usr here, or in pm. and mainly, the md5 image has the name "nandroid.md5" like small caption all the way, even the md5? If it is there where it must, it must work, ad absurd it will be "wrong checksum error", but that is another version.
General android section has this, I have learned this from there, but it had only 1st option, and was "discovered" when cwm had generated wrong md5s, the V, in the V the problem is a tad bit different, but the solution is the same.
I fixed it in adb

Just created an md5sum manualy from the img files with the name of nandroid.md5, because on the V the recovery doesn't creates them because of cache mount problem.
The recovery process will end in an error message, because cache cannot be recovered, but the main thing will be recovered this way.

I have done the thing with a legacy tcmd, so there is a probability, that they have modified the md5sum algorithm, so if you don't se the stars don't panic. (also it should do the trick even with stars in the file, but wanted to be sure at the time I wrote the post)

installing custom rom involving zip file and md5 file?

ok so im having problem trying to flash C-rom series. How do i flash this rom?
There are two parts that we are suppose to download, the zip file and md5 file.
how do i go ahead and flash this?
i went to recovery mode and tried to install the zip file but didnt work, it said md5 file is missing.
are we suppose to merge those files together first? and create new zip file and then flash it?
Ive seen a lot of roms not include an md5sum. But usually they will still flash. Check the settings in recovery to make sure its not requiring it. The md5 isnt an extra file, its a value based on a hash of the file itself which is them embedded into the files properties if im not mistaken. Its done to ensure file/download integrity. Anyway, you should be able to turn it off somewhere in recovery.

Offical update to Nougat for N920A step by step. Enjoy !!!!

From The Moderator Oka1 - There are no viable links in this OP therefore, I am closing
Thanks
OK. As i promise to some nice people here, then i get it so here it is.
ADB sideload only update S4CQB2-to-U4EQC6. 1.41 GB file seems to me like nougat update.
Nougat Update Here S4CQB2-to-U4EQC6
MD5 checksum : 903aa5c5f26f430133481c4a2cfcdb69
Thanks for ABD instruction @ColoMtn
Make sure you know how to ADB sideload. I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone.
Steps:
1. Backup everything of importance on your phone!!!
2. Now, make sure you have "show file extension" enabled in Windows, and file is ready for ADB as you download SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip
3. Shutdown your phone
4. Enter recovery mode by pressing volume up, home and power button together
* A green Droid will appear on screen with the text Installing system update…
5. Using the Volume Button Navigate and the Power button to select ‘Apply Update from ADB’
6. Connect your phone via USB to your computer
7. Open a CMD prompt from your PC. Type cd
in my case: cd C:\Users\Norbarb\Desktop\Note5
8. Navigate to the directory that contains the update ‘SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip’
*Note I had issue when the directory contained a space. Moving the update to a directory with no spaces resolved the issue.
Also moved the adb driver to the same directory 'C:\Users\Norbarb\Desktop\Note5'
9. Type adb devices. You should see 1 device listed
10.Type adb sideload SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip
11. This took around 25 minutes to complete
12. Phone will now be updated Nougat
EDIT: Please post mirrors if you can. Thanks
For who may need it this is S4CQA1 to U4QC6 update. File is around 1.5 GB and MD5 is 23d4d4c58330b618001e76fc468732d9

On what firmware currently are you? This update is only from baseband N920AUCS4CQB2. Also you may have corrupted recovery. To fix this you have to ODIN back to latest firmware and try again.
Anyway just in case i'm uploading raw file w/o .zip extension to another place.

no signal - a2lite 4gb

Hi,
I did something wrong with my A2 Lite, i've updated the Magisk boot file from the Magisk app. Caused my phone to stop booting Android.
So i tried reflashing it with Mi Flash in EDL mode. That worked but i don't have any signal when i put a SIM in.
It shows my provider in settings so it recognizes the SIM but doesn't do anything with it.
Tried 10.0.13.0 manually and via Mi Flash = no signal
Tried 10.0.2.0 via Mi Flash = no signal
Loaded TWRP, switch A/B = no effect
Does anyone have a clue what i can do now?

I don't know how you got here, but it looks like some important stuff was overwritten.
The mobile network is probably blocking you due to the invalid IMEI...
This is typically something that is stored only in the phone's flash. I'm not sure you'll be able to recover the phone.

It might be. In theory. You'd need to know the format of whatever was overwritten.
You can't rewrite the IMEI, I've have that issue before and I created a guide on how to fix it

Enjoy ?
You can download the latest rom and install it (ignore the rom that's in the guide it is outdated, but the rest of the guide stays the same).

I do know where i made a mistake, i tried to manually install all files in an image folder, including flashing a not-so-good QCN file...

Works partially!
I cannot install the latest "QPST_2.7.453" due to "Installation errors".
If i try "QPST_2.7.422" i can restore the created QCN but i cannot select "Enable Multi-SIM" and it only restores IMEI-1

Works now! both IMEI's are now shown in the settings.
IMEI SV is still at 0 though.
Your manual needs some work though.
Latest QFI: https://androidmtk.com/download-qualcomm-flash-image-loader-qfil
Enable Multi-SIM is not in all versions. I've used v2.0.1.9
Restoring QCN with this version can take a while. DO NOT USE PC until done!
8. daisy_sprout:/ $ su
/system/bin/sh: su: not found
127|daisy_sprout:/ $ setprop sys.usb.config rndis,diag,adb
setprop: failed to set property 'sys.usb.config' to 'rndis,diag,adb'
16. is not "QPST.exe" but "QFIL.exe"
20. 21. 22. not needed. directly went to 23 from 19.
stopped at 27, rebooted phone, IMEI's are back. Did not proceed with the manual any further.
