[Q] xRecovery restore MD5 mismatch - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good morning!!!
Recently I have made a backup of my current Kuyadroid ROM with xrecovery. Everything went smooth. Now when I try to restore my backup it says MD5 mismatch...
Any clues?
Thanks in advance...

Im not sure but i think that since kuyadroid installs throw cwm, so you should do your backup throw cwm too....

I guess it is the most logical explanation. Or maybe my sdcard is messing.

Maybe, try delete this file.from sdcard and put it again it worked for me when i were have the same problem

I will try that. Thanks for the advice.

acctually it dont matter what recovery you use x or cwm they will restore backups properly. listen mount your phone to pc go to sdcard save all other roms to your desktop but leave the backup of the named rom. then go back into recovery and restore and it will work 100% its because you have to many backups on your sdcard at this time

Mayb dont space your filename...

MD5 mismatch is wrong filename try to rename last backup and dont space ok

Ok. I will try to rename file in the evening and try again to restore.
I will inform if i succeeded...

are some people stupid :S DO NOT rename the file you will corrupt it and will make it not flashable. you get MD5 missmatch when you have to many backups on your sdcard NOT wrong file name if that was the case it would state wrong file. please do NOT comment and tell him to do something which will destroy his backup only post if you can contribute and help not **** it up even more!!

I removed all other ROMs and backups from my SDcard. Then I tried to restore once again and again I got Md5 mismatch. To tell you the truth I only once managed to restore my system and it was Stock Eclair. If I remeber correctly I was on Kuyadroid ROM at that time when I rebooted to xRecovery and restored. The backup was made while on Kuyadroid as well.
I would really like to make it work somehow, because what is the point in making backups if i cannot restore them.

Ok. I deleted all the backups in the xRecovery and backup folder. Then I made a new backup of my current GDX v017 ROM and it is actually restoring now. I don't know whether it is going to restore my system later on. But at least I made some progress.
Restore complete.
I will try to restore my ROM in two days and notify whether I succeeded or not.
Thanks for all the help.
Ok. Restoring works now. I still managed to brick my phone with flashing Gingerxperia V8. Now I repaired it with PCC and restored my GDX version.
Thanks again for all the help!

[Q] Nandroid/CWM backup efs included?

When you do a backup via ClockworkMod recovery, are the efs files included?
e.g. Theoretically would restoring a nandroid backup fix a broken IMEI?
I've searched and found conflicting reports.
Many thanks
push it really would love to know if it would restore it!

it really depends on how you made your nadroid back-up.
there are a couple of options when doing a nandroid back up.
if you select the "ALL" method then it will back up your system files as well as your EFS folder.
go try making a back up to see it for yourself via cwm.

Thanks for your reply. I tried to create a backup, but it seems my recovery is 3e rather than 2e so I can't. From what I've read I need a modified kernel with 2e. Does that mean I need to risk a flash before I can even backup?

wait.. back up a bit.. you said your were using clockworkmod recovery.. but now you're stating that you are using 3e recovery.
i was giving you instructions on how to do a nandroid back up in cwm recovery. i haven't touched 2e and 3e in ages.
go get cwm recovery and do the back up there.

If you look at the list on the 1. page, there's no efs.img, meaning you don't have a backup of /efs.
I think in order for cwm to take backup of efs, you have to use the newest custom kernels, as they include cwm customised for I9000. If you use the backup option on Rom Manager you'll have problems later.
I see i just scripted it to my pc and external sd perhaps thinking about putting it in a swizerland vault ;-)

ClockWorkMod Recovery does not support backing up of /efs partition yet. You should do it manually.
Is it possible to extract only /efs from the nandroid backup and more important to me, will an "old" backup do the job to restore an imei.
Re efs backup
Use online nandroid manager it backs up efs and whatever else you want. You can choose or let it do it's thing. :cyclops:
FearTheBeard said:
quite a bit of time past this post, so does CWM supports /efc backup when I do nandroid now?

If you backup whole build, yes it does.
It is nevertheless a good idea to backup your efs folder separately, by using ADB or with terminal emulator.

Unable to make a CWM backup

Guys, I hope that you can help me with my problem.
I tried to make a ordinary backup, usin CWM. It went fine this time. Sometimes it has occured problems with doing a backup also.
The problems come when I try to restore that backup. When I it starts, and then closes. The log says "MD5 error", I don't remember if it is exaktly that, but it is something similar.
Does anyone of you have any solution on this problem?
Thank you!
Best Regards
Jimmy
I'm having the same problem.
Can't create a backup. Error while backing up system or sometimes error while backing up data?
I'm running darky rom, note core kernel and cwm touch 5.0.0.4.
I want to try out Paranoid android but don't have a backup to fall back on!

That sounds like a nandroid backup to me. Do NOT restore any nandroid backups in CWM on stock ICS roms/kernels.
Use Abyss kernel. Flash it. Reboot Recovery. Restore nandroid.
The actual backup should work in CWM though.
Please if you dont mind, would you explain why its not a good idea to recover the nandroid backup with an ICS kernel and so on....will this produce a bad emmc?
Currently I'm on PA Rom, I also couldn't make a nandroid backup , it says error while backing up image of /sdcard/.android_secure/
Any suggestion would be appreciated , thanks.

[i9001]CWM6 backup not restoring fully

Hey, I got a problem with restoring a backup on my SGS+. I' m using CWM 6.0.1.2 and in the middle of the restoring process, when it says it' s restoring mobi.cyann.natools-1.apk ( i recored a video so i can see what it is because it dissapears very fast ), phone just turns down. Hopefully i can boot, as it restored the boot image, but half of things is not working. I know i can flash rom again, but i really need files from that backup. What can i do?
EDIT: I tried with older backup i found on my pc and it' s the same, phone turns down. Is it a recovery problem?
And sorry i posted it in i9000 section, but i9001 has only a single post in Q&A and it' s a bit messy.

you need same recovery as your backup for it to work, workaround is to use a Nandroid browser ( free app from play store) to copy what you need to new ROM

[Q] backup dissappeared after flashing ROM

So I have a C6603 that had andoid 4.3. I rooted it and flashed the ROM after a loooong time of finding the right assets, anyway.... I backed up my 4.3 using CWM, then I flashed my ROM to the PAC-ROM. I saved the backup on my SD-card and I can't find it anywhere. The phone works with a few minor hickups, but nothing i can't handle. I'm afraid the SD-card was formatted and my backup is gone..... Is there now no way i can revert to stock android as it were, installing 4.4 when that arrives and so on???

yeah it appears that your sd card has been formatted, but no worries u can still flash ftf of sony stock rom or even a cwm flashable zip

first download any root browser and go to data/media/clockworkmod/backup and check if the backup in there , if not then go to your sdcard and check lost.dir folder and check the lost.dir folder on internal storage , check the size of the files in it , if the size is big ( approximately = size of the backups ) then your backup is been lost and not deleted and u can recover it easily
i wish u can find your backup bro

Just copy/paste the backup to the sd card clockworkmod folder
But beware is you on a older version of recovery you cant restore it because of a md5 mismatch and twrp wil not reconize the nandroid unless you change the format of the backup

The backup already is there, but as I installed the ROM the phone switched from CWM recovery to Team Win Recovery project, and it can't find the backup! I downloaded ROM manager and chose CWM as the recovery program, but everytime the phone boots into recovery it launches TWRP, which does not find the backup. The backup was easily found in ROM manager and it told me that it would turn of my phone and get back to the old 4.3, as soon as it turned back on it launched TWRP and it did not do anything -_-

[Q] freeze in cwm 6.0.4.7 when doing a factory reset

Doing a wipe data / factory reset in cwm i have:
Formatting /data ...
Formatting /cache ...
and nothing more, seems to be freezed.
Known bug ?? any trick ?
thanks
after a long wait (3 minutes ?): Data wipe complete
...
strange no ?
same long wait (perhaps more, 5 minutes?) after a /data restore ...
wtf ...
Yup, you need to wait above 5 minutes..
it's normal if you dont want to wait more try TWRP recovery
normal ?
what cwm is doing during all this time (and without notifying anything) ???

CWM is really slow. Try TWRP it's fast.
well, thanks!
But just to be clear: the data restore itself seems to be as quick as twrp, but when it finishes backup (last action displayed) it's "hanging" for a while.

I used twrp on my mortorola Atrix and it was possible to extract backup content on my pc with 7zip (.win files).
So perhaps it's a newer twrp version used here and backup files are criated in a different way ?
I also faced this strange thing when restoring with twrp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/help/issue-restore-twrp-t2836727
So I'm now using cwm ... but it is slower.

new backup method i think,
even if you cant extract with pc it doesnt mean that it doesnt work in recovery
i personally use twrp as i dont trust cwm and this is due to me using cwm on my first android phone till now cwm always failed with something and twrp worked fine always

I found a way to manage twrp backup files on PC: with TotalComander and renaming files as .tar
This wasn't necessary with twrp on Motorola Atrix (can be open with 7zip), but the version with Xperia is different.
