Hello,
I have rooted my X8 with Flashtool, and I have downloaded an xrecovery pack from thread on XDA. The case is that every time I make a backup and try to restore from it it fails, and the prompt writes MD5 sum mismatch. It happens every time, one a new backup, on different android versions.
Has anyone got any idea what is wrong ?
Thank you for your answers :]
Ru renaming the back ups if so you have a space. In it that y your getting that. If you name your backup like this
(Ginger bread) you will get m5 miss match .
So you need to right it like this (gingerbread) ie NO spaces in you name of you backups
super.sense on x8
md5 checksum failed

Anyone know if there is a way to give a nandroid backup a name of your choosing? Sometimes when I'm flash and loading a bunch of different stuff I like to do nandroid backups before each one so I can save my phone in various states. unfortunately that means that just the date and time stamp naming convention isn't enough for me to locate the exact one I want to restore.

Yep, drag them to your pc and just rename them!
That's the easy way anyway.
Whenever I flash a new rom and I like it, I backup a full clean install so I can start from scratch again, it's better then going through the syncing and logging in again.
I also store mine on the pc, so if my card gets fubar'd then I've still got them.
great idea....never even considered that.
thanks
Not to sound rude, but I would think that'd be the most obvious solution to your question.. o_0

Just use any file explorer (Astro, ES, etc.) and rename the backup file to anything you like...
i just tried to restore a nandroid backup, i did as above says, i went on the PC and re-named backup as something i`d remember put it back on the Desire, and nandroid just fails instantly at `MD5 mismatch`
could this be because the folder name changes after the backup has been made??, thanks.
You don't even need a computer to name your backups. All you need to do is download ROM manager from the market (the free version will suffice). Then whenever you need to make a nandroid backup, open the app, choose "Backup current ROM" and it will automatically ask you to name your backup from the get-go so that there aren't any problems afterwards.

I get the mismatch failed sometimes if my battery isn't sufficiently charged. Renaming the folder won't mess up your backup.
If you use ROM Manager, it will allow you to specify the name of the backup before you create them and it generates the appropriate MD5 sum.

Which is exactly what I said just two post before this one.
when you rename a nandroid backup on your phone using a file explorer, don't put spaces when you rename it, putting spaces gives it an md5sum mismatch.

Sorry !
Hi,
I'm sorry to bother you guys, but I made some search about this and didn't find a satisfying answer.
I'm under hardcore K12L kernel, and I need to restore a dbdata.img.
I didn't change the repertory name of the backup, neither the name of the files (I only have dbdata.img and cache.img).
Before that, I had a data.img but I used voodoo cwm to restore it, because hardcore cwm wasn't able to restore it.
And then I came back on hardcore cwm to restore dbdata (voodoo cwm searched for a "datadata.img), and deleted data.img, had then md5 mismatch, so I deleted data.img line in the nandroids.md5 file, but then I had again an md5 mismatch.
I tried to regenerate md5sum with a md5 tool, which gave me logically the same exast md5 that i already have in my backup md5 file (so i guess the md5 check should be correct), but still, when I want to restore it, I always get a md5 mismatch.
How to get rid of this ? Could you help me please ?
PS : An option "enable/disable md5 check" in CWM would be really nice to avoid such problems. ^^
you are not the only one, i have the same issue, can someone help pls!!!
Go read the topic I linked to in my first post, and feel free to ask more details there or here if u need some help. My phone can tell, it can be done !
read the stick threads thoroughly and google ...
I was fooling around with new ROM's.
When i wanted to return to my previously backup i got the "MD5 Cheksum wrong"
I then had a look at the backup i wanted to use, and checked all of the checksums manualy (using a md5 checksum checker)..........all of the MD5's it the "nandroid.md5" were correct.
The only thing i had changed was the folder name........
Any syggestions on how i can get the backup to work?........or make it skip the MD5 checksum check?
Rename the folder back to what it was.
He he.......yes, i keept those 12 digits in my memory.......
/irony may occur in the previous sentence
But i renamed it on a hunch, and either i was extremely lucky, or "close" is good enough.......i doubt i got it right down to the seconds.
But i'm restoring it now.
For future use, can i make a folder with a name of my choice to put the backup in, and then restore from within that folder??
Yeah I'm guessing there is a 'close enough' element involved. As for moving it, I don't think you can unfortunately.
I suppose you could move it someplace and stick it back in the /clockwork/backup folder when you want to restore though. Not ideal, though.
You cant have any space in folder name...
Use underline _ instead

Thank you!
Try to restore my backup but got this error
"md5 mismatch!"
********************
Problem solve, I'm realy noob and dont understand what is adb shell..this problem happen maybe because I rename my backup..so I do this trick, mybe will help others.
••STEP:
1. Make sure you have enough space to make new backup on sd-card
2. Make new backup ( nandroid backup )
3. Rename old backup with new backup name.
Now you should can restore the backup that have this error before..
••Or rename backup folder without space..
Example ; "abcde" not "ab cd e"..

Ok try this
Install latest version of titanium
Open titanium -menu -extract from nandroid backup
And select your backup, it will give you.list of available.data, select.required.data.
Thats it.

there is no other way of backing up rom+data other than nandroid.
even if the md5 is not generated is the backup folder being made?

yes a folder with the date created is getting created in the storage.. some times does anywher between 200- 300mb, sometimes just 16 to 50 mb in size... ive flashed the latest CM10 kernel and the latest SuperSU according to another post... still no go...
if nandroid is very important for u. The go back to stock root, put safe kernel, wipe and then try to do backup
okay it finally worked after flashing the latest CM10 .tar through odin
Thanks for all ur help!!!
My problem and how I fixed it.
I made a nandroid backup. WHen it creates it, ya see it ceates it with a date.
I backed up the backup 3 times on my pc. but i renamed it to something like: Galaxy Note backup 2 Jan 10th 2013
then when i went to do a restore, MD5 Mismatch, so i read here no spaces, so i just renamed it to: notebackup
no spaces... and bang it worked. so make sure u dont have any spaces in it. it can be named whatever u want just no spaces.
hope that helps anyone...
Good Luck
I've a backup file, which I neither renamed or have any spaces in the file.. How come that When I'm trying to restore the file, its saying MD5 Mismatch. I've a GT-N7000..
Can you Please help??

You just qouted one of the solutions, and other solution is in the first post
Why not start some reading first...
The Problem is that I just checked, the Backup file Folder, & found that there is no MD5 file created.. How is this Possible?? Can I copy/Paste a MD5 File from one of the newer backups that I've in the Older Backup where there is no MD5 file & then try to restore?
Will I be able to do this?

I think it would not work...
On which kernel/rom you made this older backup which you want to restore? ...and on which kernel you are now?
I tried to do the below, but again the MD5 Mismatch..
How do I go back to my previous back up to be installed?? Can you please help??

are you use the backup was complete ? have you restored this backup before? if you are sure that the backup is complete and has worked.. then check with the new Philz kernel which has an option to toggle MD5 check. not sure if this will work but try..
My older version is a dell kernel.. Now I'm using a cm10.1 kernel.. After the backup was made I had not tried the restoring option.. Now while I'm trying to this is the problem I've seen...

Hello
I have a Samsung Galaxy S with SlimBean Installed, previously I had the stock 2.3.3 XEF version and CM9
When I rooted the device for first time the first thing I did ws backing up the EFS partition, I have made subsequent backups since then. However, the files don't seem to be equal and don't match the .MD5 signatures provided.
Do the files in this partition change over time? Does that mean they are getting corrupted? The most logical thing would be that the signatures matched the files but they don't..
Thank you.
Hello
Any ideas of why this happens and if it's normal?
Thank you.
And I've just checked my phone, the .bak files have dissapeared.
I've got an old backup tho, but why did they dissapeared?
Thanks.
Edit: The rest of the files are in the efs folder, they weren't displayed because Slim filemanager doesn't show hidden files by default.
So the only question remaining is: Do you know why the MD5 signatures don't match the files?
Thank you.
I think since IMEI is unchanged - thats ok. The most important file you have to keep is nv_data.bin (i think that one) it holds your IMEI. So as long as your phone works - no panic.

Hello
Thanks. But why does the hash change and differs from it's MD5 signature?
Probably so.. dont worry about it and keep nv_data.bin just in case.
