Howdy mate.... I stumbled upon this thread by accident, so I don't have the issue you experienced, but might I suggest that you explain how you fixed your issue, or post a link to the pertinent info?
That way if someone with the same problem comes up here it won't be a dead-end and there will be a solution attached to this thread, making it useful.
Share the knowledge

yeah, what did you do???

i have experienced that too.. and havent got the answer.. so the only thing i could do was just restore my other backup but was a month after the latest backup.. how did you fix it?

md5 *img > nandroid.md5
Because file in /system/bin is md5, not md5sum

Nice.. bumping a year old thread.

I have the same problem, I backup from cwm, then when I want to restore with the same version of cwm, the log sais md5 missmate,

Are you using the exact same version of CWM recovery as you backed up with .
If no then you need to if yes try the advanced restore .
jje
adb shell
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010-06-29.20.22.53
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
I use that - but put your backup details instead of whats there, obviously
I've got same CWM version and still don't working. Will help flash FW from backup?
BigMrB: Those commands are for CMD?
Adb Shell didn't help me. Any ideas?

tried it through terminal emulator and it doesn't work. it restores system but craps out at restoring data
any solution? can't backup/restore
I had this problem too. Turned out that I had spaces in the folder name. So if I renamed the folder name, change it to something without spaces.
Hope this helps.

Ok, so maybe a stupid question, but on the second line, do you change the command to your backup name?

Not a stupid question But the answer is yes (or at least it should be)
Ah, OK. Thanks!
EDIT: Ok, yet another possibly stupid question! Can I run this through a terminal on the phone, or do I need to do this through a command prompt on the computer?
EDIT 2: Er, I just looked at my recovery that I have the md5 error for. There's nothing in the backup folder! It's empty! Like, crap! Back when I made the backup, the recovery said it backed up successfully. I even recovered using that backup once before. Is this normal? Or is there something jacked up here?
great job ..well done
Command promt

MD5 checksum mismatch error

Question guys. I'm trying to restore a nandroid backup and keep getting the md5 checksum mismatch error. I have a few nandroids that work at the moment. I know this is a stupid question but I thought worth a try. If I replace the files from the nandroid backup that gets the md5 error and move all the files over to a nandroid thats working, is this possible? The only file I won't be replacing is the nandroid.md5 file. I've moved the boot, cache.ext4, data.ext4, system.ext4 files that I would like to restore. Thanks in advance guys!
Please close thread. Got it fixed!

Actually if you're trying to restore a backup and get that md5 mismatch error it usually means that there is characters in the backup's folder name that it won't recognize, try renaming the backup folder name with no spaces or hyphens, I usually only use letters and numbers with no spaces, try that and it should be ok at that point...
EDIT: Also I don't recommend moving the files into a working backup folder as the md5sum is generated for each specific backup and you could have problems if the md5sum doesn't match the files that they were created for...

**SOLVED** nandroid backup MD5 issues... desperate here :(

Hi guys,
I currently have a Zopo ZP300 phone
I have no issues getting CWM to install or work, but when trying to create a rom backup things start to go funny.
Firstly, the backup takes hours to complete.. 2~3 hrs.
- I end up with :
boot.img approx 3.8 Gigs in size
cache.ext4.tar approx 17kb
data.ext4.tar approx 334 MB
recovery.img approx 3.8 Gigs
system.ext4.tar approx 386 MB
Secondly, when the backup completes, i am greeted with "Error while generating md5 sum"...
I have factory reset the phone, i have wiped all caches, Dalvik etc, etc... no luck.
I have also tried Terminal Emulator to generate a MD5 and end up with nandroid.md5 of 0 Kb in size which is useless..
Anyone ??
Get 4EXT recovery and you will never have any sort of problems installing or updating custom roms. Its free, constant updates, touch based interface, and easier to use than clockwork.

Can you make backup with it ?
Cheers
Not sure about compatibility but yes you can make backups everything you do with clockwork you can do with 4EXT and more

Ok.
I tried again to make a backup, but again i get "could not generate md5 file" error.
So now i tried to make md5 using ABD and md5sum command, but i get "sh: md5sum: not found" error.
I also tried terminal emulator with same result..
Now what do i do ? Why do i get "not found" error ?
Is there another way to make md5 ?
I really need to make a reliable nandroid backup...

Recovery might be generating a corrupt md5.
Ok try this:
Code:
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/XXXXXX/
rm nandroid.md5
md5sum *.img > nandroid.md5
This should do the trick because the md5sum file must be named nandroid.md5

Since posting this, i found another thread ( post #112 ):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114&page=12
It actually generated a MD5 file. :laugh:
Now, as i type, i started a recovery process to test, and so far so good.

**UPDATE**
Restore completed successfully !! Yay !! :good:

There ---> http://bbs.zopomobile.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=21332&highlight=卓普ZP300
The site is in Chinese but Google translate is your best friend. Also, you need to register in order to get the app.
ALso, the app is in Chinese, but the menu structure of CWM is the same as the english version of CWM.

[Q] MD5 Mismatch when Restoring backup

Hello Everybody,
I'm new to this forum and I hope posted this in the right section.
I have a Coolpad F1 TD-SCDMA. Today I flashed a custom ROM but I want my original ROM back.
So I wanted to restore the backup I earlier made today. When I am in CWM and choose restore it gives me: MD5 Mismatch!
I went to check for it in the directory but i didn't see any .md5 file.
Here is a guide for a similair problem, but since I am new to this and as he said in the topic: he ported it for One V. I am not sure if it will work.
I hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks in advantage!

Yea, that SHOULD work.
Just tried it when typing in: 'adb shell' in cmd I get: 'error: device not found'.
Drivers are installed I think, I can see the files on my phone of my SD and emulated SD card.
Any suggestions?
Edit: It WILL find my device when turing on Mass Storage (MTP) instead of charging only.
I tried this using MTP.
Code:
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2014-10-08.08.47.17/
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
Then I went back to CWM to restore the backup but still the MD5 mismatch.
Edit:
I wonder how this MD5 mismatch error even started.

Did you start with adb shell while connected in MTP? Did you look with a file manager to see if it is creating the md5 file? Did you try Method 3 with busybox? As far as what causes it, it's explained in the first post of that thread.

Thanks for the response. First I started try with charge only. When that didn't work I start with adb shell whil connected in MTP.
Yes, but unfortunatly it isn't. No, did not try method 3 yet.
But I did try this. It is the same method but without adb. But as you can see in the other topic:

Did it like 3/4 times now and I'm pretty sure I did not make mistakes when typing.

Looks like this (third paragraph) is the problem: Not enough space to finish the backup. I will install the sotck rom shortly and try to restore the data.
