Maybe it's because of the name. I'm not sure which characters are allowed in the name of a backup, but spaces don't work for example and you get the mismatch, so try renaming your backup folder to something simple like "backup" (I know, very creative ).

I think I need to reflash the android system onto my device, because I uninstalled the wrong files and now so many system features are broken (phone book won't open, fc when I try, gmail app fc on opening email, all user installed keyboards fc, surely many more but this is enough to tell me I need a reflash). Question is, where do my current backups stand? Will I be able to use them?? Please help, thanks.

Officially, you can't backup anything and all your data will be lost. If you were careful (maybe you did ?), you would use Titanium Backup and xRecovery to do full backups, but now you've messed everything up, it's not even safe to do a backup of a corrupted system...
To reflash, use Pc Companion or SEUS. You can also (not recommended) use custom flashers you can get from developping section...
Hi, thanks for your quick response. I forgot to mention of course I used titanium to fully backup everything, glad to know this can be used. So what do I do, how do I initiate the reflash process???
well, check the top sticky post..

If you have unistalled any system application,then you do only push that application to phone,after that restore the sytem data by Titenium backup.hope you have schedule backup...
if you have deleted some system files, then reflash ur fone by flash tool....you can only reflash the system.bin.(you need to root again)
hope it will help you......
Thanks everyone, all I had to do was restore my titanium backup (all missing) and I'm good again!!! Sorry I'm a girl that's a little new to this (however I have been following these threads religiously for a while now) so I just kinda freaked out when it all went wrong lol! Thanks

So i restored back to stock blur rom cuz i was feeling all nostalgic and to get a few TB backups. Well when i attempted to restore back to CM9 i kept getting "MD5 Mismatch!" errors. Well it turns out I had left spaces in that and a few other renamed backup folders which apparently is a no-no. Luckily i was able to restore back to another backup, rename the folders without spaces via USB and was able to restore CM9 backups. Just thought this may help others. You might want to check your backup file folder names and get rid of the spaces.
Well I've never thought of renaming then but either way this is good to know for future reference

Thats why I use _ in place of spaces when dealing with CWM backups, makes it easy to read and usable

Hm that's weird.. I kept name same and just added at end _cm9 or whatever ROM for most but a few I completely changed file name using underscores with no issues and trust me my nandroids get used more than they should lol

is there a way to rename a nandroid back up?
if you are using CWM u can do with a file explorer, navigate to clockworkmod/backup/name folder of what u want, no spaces, u can use . though. or with TWRP u can do it before you do the backup on the right where it says rename backup.

I have ended up with MD5 mismatch far too many times renaming CWM backups, I tend these days to place the backup itself into another folder and title that, tends to save the risk of a very irritating error.
TWRP is pretty badass in that it allows you to title your own backups before you even start the backup process. Much more organized of a way to do it if ya ask me.
When naming a backup avoid special characters, period's etc. -_ are OK. Absolutely no spaces. Follow those rules and your fine. To answer op, grab your favorite file explorer (I prefer Root explorer) and rename it under clockwork/backup.

thanks for all of the replies guys... I got it... should have known this I guess... just wasn't something I ever really needed to do but now with all the great roms out there for the note... its hard to settle on one.. so organizing my Nbackups is important... thanks guys really appreciate it and love this community! cheers

this is the correct method...IMHO.:good:
I've renamed mine countless times with no spaces... no problems at all.
you could just make a folder with the name you like, and move the backup to that folder, avoiding the chance of a mismatched checksum.
Twrp is really easy to use

hey guys i am new to this forum
i recently rooted my android device with clockwork mod 5.0.2.8 installed
i flashed a new rom and before flashing i made a backup of the existing rom
the rom was ok and so i renamed the backup as 'stock'
i decided to go back to the original rom and thought of restoring it but it says "md5 sums not found"
so anybody have any kind of help
i am using samsung galaxxy ace plus gt-s7500
you need to rename it to what the backup was called when you created the nandroid
Just make sure that your backup is in root directory of your sd card..
Just like this
Sdcard>clockworkmod>backup>2012-09-06.11.31.38>files
If it is not like that make like that
Press thanks if i helped you

I've done this before on my motorola xoom, had to just delete the backup, kinda sucks. Since though I do recall some recoveries there is an option to not check md5 sums on restoration of the backup so that is what you want to try do. I have a feeling CWM doesn't have this feature but you can check. TWRP I think does so check if there is that recovery for your device. But then there may be compatibility issues since you made the backup with CWM. Worth a try though. Good luck

Yeah, same with when this happened to me.
You could, if feeling brave, theoretically this should work but I've never tried it. But the backups in your /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup folder are .img files you could extract them to your computer and use fastboot to flash them onto your device
will definitely try

Why isn't twrp recognizing my backup? The folder is there with the correct name and everything. But when i click on it, it just acts like its another parent folder with nothing inside. I've used this backup once before. I tried to moved it around to the internal sd and root of both and what not.. The only thing I can think of is the the page for the Perseus kernel said something about formatting the extsd to exfat or something like that. Will twrp only recognize certain formats?
Very frustrated at the moment . help is appreciated. Thanks.
Also I looked in the folder on a file manager and the files for the backup are in the folder.

Please delete mods...or leave it up so I can get ridiculed. I deserve it. Matter of fact after a stunt like that I probably need to go back to a jitter bug or comparable flip phone.
I was trying to install a backup instead of restoring a backup.
Gah I feel sooo stupid. So yeah go ahead and flame me. I deserve it. Lol
