Hi guys. I flashed a new baseband for my Optimus 2x. After that, I wanted to restore my backup and I get a MD5 Mismatch. How come? I didn't rename my backup or changed the recovery. Nothing!
hey, i had this not so long ago, its nothing more than a bad nandroid backup, nothing will fix it, you gotta reflash another backup or start over (i started over cuz other backups were too old)
You may be able to solve it with these steps:
1. Go to the directory of the backup.
2. Delete nandroid.md5
3. Recreate nandroid.md5 of all images with 'md5sum'.

This will allow you to flash a corrupt image, and is therefore not recommended
I got one just today, really annoying..
@kiljaken any idea why it happens, or how it can be avoided?

Not really no. All it takes is one changed bit in either file
My guess is you renamed the folder with a space, if so, try without it, if not then recreate the md5 as mentioned the MD5 with md5sum * > nandroid.md5
I always have this issue when I make the back up through Rom Manager. So I always make it now in clockwork recovery mode.

Works!!! Thank you..
1) rename folder (no spaces)
2) inside the folder, type "rm nandroid.md5"
3) then type "md5sum * > nandroid.md5

Hey guys,
I need help. I just realized that I couldn't restore from CWM backup. I have several backups and I even tried diff version of CWM but all keep saying MD5 checksum match error.
What should I do?
Thanks
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
have you changed the name of them??
They need to be left exactly as the phone makes them
They don't, but you can't have spaces in the name of the folder.
If all else fails, recreate the checksum:
Code:
md5sum *.img > nandriod.md5

I have a Marquee and have successfully rooted using http://androidnerds.net/2011/10/08/lg-esteem-oneclickroot-now-ready/. Apparently the LG Esteem is close enough for this to work. After install, you will need to manually update superuser via the market.
Thanks to Hoovhartid over at androidcentral forums for suggesting this.

install Rom Manager from the market
ROM manager doesn't give an option for my phone for CWM and you can't back up your ROM without it.
Sorry but not risking bricking this thing if I make the wrong choice.

+1.and you can use adb to pull all files and boot.img ,and we can test it in a safer way
Okay guys, I thought what the hell, I'll try the LGE Black option in ROM manager and see what happens.
IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Use the volume keys to move and the search button to select.
I have backed up the ROM from the Marquee and loaded on Mediafire.
The back up wasn't good, so i pulled the link. Sorry!
Hope this helps.
Sorry folks, I don't think the backup is any good. I tried another and it looks the same. It is too small and doesn't have musch data.
Can someone point me to, or step me through, how to pull all the files with adb. I'll be glad to pull and post.

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-perform-and-restore-a-nandroid-backup/
am kinda noob too..so hope this will help!xD
first of all,you need a adb.exe
you can get it from super-one-click,or android sdk,google it
for example,we pull files at d:\system
copy adb files in d:\system
and then,open cmd(win+R,enter cmd)
connect your phone before we start.
type
Code:
d:
adb pull /system .\system
ok then it will pull all the system files into d:\system
does it back up to a directory on the SD card? if it does, you need all the files in the directory. there should be a few .img files along with the nandroid.md5 file. put them all in a zip and upload it.
look in sdcard: \clockworkmod\backup\
the directory the files are in should be named with a date+time stamp
Any chance?

I've already tried the CWM backup and it is no good, only about 18 meg in size and missing almost everything important.
That is why I was trying to get directions on how to use ADB to pull system files and image from the phone.

1. Download Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Install it on C: (not on Program Files for Easy Access)
3. Connect your phone through USB with debugging on
4. Open Command propt from your PC. (windows button + r / type "cmd" without quotes)
5. On command prompt type "cd c:\Android\ASDK\platform-tools" (without quotes then press Enter)
6. Then type "adb pull /system" (without quotes then press Enter)
7. wait till it's finished pulling the files
Now go to C:Android\ASDK\platform-tools. Copy all files now, zip it. Upload, they'll just exclude/disect the adb ones.
this is interesting. I'm going to try to use this method for rooting our P970.
Advices are welcome
Okay, I used ADB and was able to pull the system, boot.img and recovery.img.
Not sure if any of these are correct. The system file is HUGE (434mb zipped) but looks like every thing is there. Both boot and recovery are 5.00mb each.
If this looks right and is what you are after I will upload it to mediafire.
Let me know.
go go up it!, i wanna see if we can get a nice gingerbread with lg drivers from this.

If yes to my last question, just flash the stock bell 2.3.6 rom located in the dev forum. If no then you have 2 options. First it follow the steps in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404608
Or
Use motofastboot to flash a system.img, this will restore the /system, reroot, install bootstrap and then flash the already deodexed stock bell rom I previously mentioned to restore your /system, remove bootstrap, install safestrap and flash either that rom, or the rom of your choice into safe system and use safe system from now on.

You can manually find the MD5s on a computer and edit the MD5 file manually to make it work, its dangerous but it works... I've done it before

I've had that same problem in the past. How do you manually edit the md5 and how do you know what to change it to. Would I just run the md5 command in terminal and then unzip the backup and modify it?

The back up should just be a folder, open the folder, and run the MD5 Command in the Terminal on each of the backup archives (eg cache.ext3.tar, system.ext3.tar) and put them into nandroid.md5
The nandroid.md5 file should hopefully be laid out easily and just replace the hashes (random letters and numbers) with the ones you generated with the correct file's hash
And Restore away!

Method- Manually Altering MD5 Sums (Windows) (This guide might be off, Windows is not my home OS anymore...)
1. Plug your SD card into your computer.
2. Open up the directory where your back ups are should be /safestrap/backup/BACKUPNAME
3. Download this tool: http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/
4. Drag system.ext3.tar and drop it on top of the applications icon
Write down that MD5
5. Drag data.ext3.tar and drop it on top of the applications icon
Write down that MD5
6. Drag cache.ext3.tar and drop it on top of the applications icon
Write down that MD5
7. open up nandroid.md5 with a text editor it should look something like this:
Code:
2ce2ec3c4beac74ba3fba94fb290ea21 cache.ext3.tar
12296836011615c7f2611e19c9390a78 data.ext3.tar
0589700a289739c448b6ff2e317d7951 system.ext3.tar
Replace the hash next to cache.ext3.tar with the one you generated, and repeat this for the other files...
IF nandroid.md5 does not exist, create it and do as mentioned above.
Then... Restore!
Sorry, I know this isn't the easy reflash you wanted but it's the only guide I can write at this time
(This guide was written going off of safestrap 1.08 you may have to change some titles of files)
Thanks and/or donate if I helped

You're gonna have to do the leg work to get the files and programs I mention because finding and linking while on my fine is a pita.
There is another option, the easiest of all, however it will remove you from the bell update path as we have no way currently of returning to the stock bell firmware. You can grab rsdlite and a fastboot package from the dev forum and flash that, it will fix it up but you are no longer on bell firmware. Up to you if you can live with that.
The other way is to grab motofastboot (google it) and a fastboot package from dev forum. Unzip the fastboot package into a folder and put motofasboot in the same folder. Motofastboot is a command line utility, it has no user interface. Open a cmd prompt (start button, run, cmd) and type cd C:\your\path\to\aforementioned\folder then run
moto-fastboot flash system system.img (I have the 32 bit version so mine is moto-fastboot32) I dont use windows, onlinux I have to precede the command with ./ so for me it would look like
./moto-fastboot32 flash system system.img
Your phone will now boot
Find zergrush easy root utility and follow the directions for it to root your phone, then install a bootstrap(or the tweaked safestrap that allows nonsafe flashing and then go grab the stock bell rom from dev forum and flash that. It is already deodexed.
this will keep you stock bell

Linux or Windows? Esure you are safely ejecting (windows) or unmounting/ejecting (Linux) before removing the SDCard, I've noticed file changes sometimes don't stick if you don't safely eject.
I'm not sure if the method I'm giving is a soloution anymore with the reflash (That's not a bad thing!)
Hello @ all,
I´ve made a CWM backup on my external sdcard. Now I want to restore this backup and all I get is an error saying MD5 mismatch. I read a while in this board (which often saved my life) and found out, that I had to delete the file nandroid.md5 (which even didn´t exist in my backup-folder). So i created a new, empty file. But no change, restoring my backup was not possible.
So please give me some hints what to do..
Thanks a lot,

What do you mean by "backup FILE"? it should be a whole directory (ie folder) named something "yyyy-mm-dd.hh.mm.ss" (unless you rename it).
Are you sure it's in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/ and not in /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup/?
