I made a backup with ROM manager yesterday, and I need to restore it. Unfortunately, when I try to restore it I get an error message: "MD5 mismatch".
Is there any way I can restore it?
Problem mis-stated, and fixed
Opps! After further analysis, it turned out that the problem I asked about was not really the problem I was having. I learned something new, so I am posting it here.
I had copied my good backup into the root of my external SD card, and ClockworkMod was not finding it. Apparently, ClockworkMod looks in this directory:
/clockworkMod/backup
It was finding an aborted backup with a bad MD5 in that directory. I put the external SD card in my computer, and copied the good backup into the directory above, re-inserted the external SD into my phone, and I was able to restore my system.
Hallelujah

I am unable to do a nandroid backup
At the last part of the backup, it gives me the
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
Generating md5 sum...
Error while generating md5 sum!
I am also unable to partition my SD card from CWM.
I just formatted my SD card, didn't help.
Any solution?
Thanks !

Hi,
Do you have enough space in your internal SD-Card
Bye.

If you check you backup directory, you'll notice it doesn't have the file "nandroid.md5".
In order to restore your backup, you can create this file manually.
You can do this throught Terminal Emulator.
Code:
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/(name of backup directory)
md5sum *img >nandroid.md5
This will create the file and you should be able to restore the backup in CWM.
I am having trouble with ROM Manager. I have been making backups before and after making any changes, but I can't find my backups anywhere. They don't show up in the app or by using CW Recovery. I can't find them using Root Explorer either. I have looked in SD and SD-Ext in the Clockworkmod/backup folder. I have a few older backups, but they won't restore. I get an MD5 mismatch error. Has anyone else seen this?
Just realized that when the backup first starts it says
Couldn't open directory.
No files found.
then it proceeds to cat like it's performing a backup.
Never mind, needed to check "external storage"
Can anyone tell me what, if anything, I should do about this error which appears after restoring a Nandroid backup? The phone seems to be working ok so far. I've done Nandroid backup and restore several times without errors before but obviously something has changed.
Error while restoring /sdcard/.android_secure!
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
I cannot see any file called "recovery log" in the /sdcard/clockworkmod folder. There is a file called "recovery-update.zip".
I tried uninstalling/re-installing ROM Manager and then making and restoring a new nandroid backup but the result was the same. The backups are to the internal sd card.
I'd be grateful for any advice. I tried trawling around the forums for some hours as this seems to be a widely discussed issue but cannot find any clear explaination of the cause or fix.

do you use an external sd?
check if there is a clockworkmod folder in that.
Yes, there is a Clockworkmod folder on my ext/sd card. I wanted to do Nandroid backups there but the option to Use External Storage is greyed out on the settings page.
Right now, the only Nandroid backup I have in on the int/sd card

which settings page ?
in CWM you need to go to backup & restore and choose backup (this will backup to external SD).. there is another option to select backup to internal SD
I'm using ROM Manager (Premium) and under the settings there's an option to use external sd card but it's greyed out.

Use CWM directly to make backups to your desired storage
Can you tell me where to get CWM? I can only see ROM Manager on the Google Play site. I understand that RM is really just a front end for CWM but I'd have assumed the functinality would be the same.
Thanks again for the reply
if you are having hydracore the cwm will be already there. It's a recovery. you need to boot into recovery mode.

Hi all !
I had OmniRom installed, and after trying to go back to my stock ROM via a CWM backup I had, I cannot restore backups from my external SD card anymore.
Whenever I try to restore a backup (either a newly made one or an old one), I have "error while restoring /data". The WM lock says "can't partition non mmcblk devide /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc1".
Backing up to the internal card and then restoring works.
I tried to move a backup from the external card to the internal card and then restoring, but it did not work (same error).
Any idea where this might come from ?
How can I solve this ?
Thanks !

Answering my own question : after reflashing boot.img from FXP250, restoring my backup worked ! I thought it was the one I had restored in the first place, but obviously I was wrong !
Hello guys , i have a problem with backup restoration on my z1. I made a few days ago a full backup on my ext sd card (everything went well) and now when i try to restore it the recovery only restores a part of that backup . The backup is 3.8gb but it only restores about 3 gb and at the end i get this error "volume not found skipping restore of sd-ext error" , the phone boots up but the launcher and a lot off apps are missing . I tried to copy the backup folder by phone and pc to the internal sd card of the phone but i can't because i get an error. how i can restore the backup and what can be the problem? My bl is locked and i used xzDual recovery 2.8.21 and 2.8.23 but i get the same error when restoring. I don't have another sd card to test this. Any help is good.

Have you tried mounting the drive that gives the error manually before starting restoring?
