[Q] CWM md5 checksum failed suddenly - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Today i wanted to restore my old rom on my neo through cwm recovery,
But md checksums failed.
I used the checksum calculator to compare, and they all check out ok.
But, i did rename the folder on the sd card.. could that influence it?

Yes...

[Q] Can somebody please help me with the md5 code

I am a newbie but i just wiped my brother's x10 mini pro and installed MiniCM v6.0 Final Release | for CWM (big thanks to doixanh) MD5: E4B8A514D72034DDB0BC53B08F4142E. I know not what to use or how to use the md5 and what to do with it. phone giving md5 error. Help!!!!
Compare the md5 of the file you've downloaded to the md5 in the first post of the slade miniCM 6 thread. If there's a mismatch, download the file again. Though, I probably wouldn't install v 6.0 on a wiped phone, since it takes ages to boot. Read more in the above mentioned thread.

please pardon my ignorance, i'm a web developer but what exactly has md5 got to do in this? is there anything dat i have to do before installing or any other app i need to download?
I don't know exactly (actually, I have no idea...) how the md5 is generated, but from what I can understand, it reflects the integrity of the file. If the file is somehow corrupted during download, the md5 differs from the original one and if I recall correctly, slade included an md5 check in the installation script of his latest rom to avoid unnessecary phone-bricking. So, my advice remains, download the file again. There's no need to download or install anything else. I'm not a developer of any kind, so if you really want to know what the md5 is, i suggest google or wiki, but I'm fairly sure I've understood the use of it in this setting...

Rom Kitchen With Checkromv4

Is anyone else experiencing difficulty with the Kitchen in this version? None of the kitchen tweaks will work, they download fine, and it goes thru the regular process of installing, however none of the programs seem to be functioning after installation. Just checking with anyone else before I try re flashing. I did do a full wipe before install.
2.3.6
xxki4
Siyah 2.3
Checkrom V4
The same thing is happening with me. It downloads the files just fine but when it tries to install them, it restarts to the wrong recovery (not clockworkmod). You can see the things fail installing because of the <!> that comes up in the recovery for a split second.
How can we get it working? The only way I've done it is to manually restart to the right recovery, and then manually install each zip.
Reinstall the kitchen app
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Try installing them from recovery, you have to delete or rename the clockworkmod folder on the external sd card in order to install things directly from the kitchen.

salted_hash in clockworkmod folder
Found the culprit:
Q: I am not able to flash via Kitchen???
A: Delete Clockworkmod folder
Reason:
Previously to make the kitchen flash in older version of CWM5 we need to use a salte hash file that was placed in the Clockworkmod folder, Now with the updated CWM5 the actually problem with CWM5 was fixed by the respective creator!
So now what happens is that all you people have that salted hash file remaining in ur sd card that doesn't allow to flash stuff in the newer better CWM5, thats why when u delete the Folder it stats working coz the salted hash file gets deleted!
Now you may ask why delete the folder, when u can delete the file only!!
LOL answer is simle the Android os never recognizes the file there so when u open myfiles you never find the salted hash file inside the clockworkmod folder! You can use other apps and methods to delete the file but then there is the obvious questions from noobs!!
So Moral the problem is only with that one salted hash file and not ur backup.

So you can delete the entire folder, or just the "/sdcard/clockworkmd/.salted_hash" file. This worked for me.
Correct just the salted hash needs to go, there's no need to lose your backups. If you do delete the folder next time you do a nandroid it will only get recreated without the salted hash.

Just to check with you guys. is there any wipe of checkrom available?it appears that there is only the no-wipe version.

CWM Restore ERROR... :(

I m Using CM9 on my Neo V (unlocked Bootloader) and it is working fine...
n i want to restore to my old GB ROM which i have back up long back..
when i m trying to restore my GB ROM its saying dat..
"CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.1
Checking MD5 sums..
MD5 mismatch!"
what is this error n how to overcome it... plss help
MD5 sum file is broken. did you made full backup? was it successfully done?
sometimes it occurs due to low storage on sdcard. cwm succeeded to make backup files but was unable to make md5 file due to low memory on sd.
I think that Cwm 6.x.x is not compatible with backups created with cwm 5.x.x. Flash your favourite GB kernel and restore backup.
did you rename folder of that backup?
Most probably a rename of the folder.
The md5 checksum depends on the name of the folder.
Try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114&page=2
Sounds like a name miss match.
If you renamed your backup there should be no spaces at the name. Use a . - instead of space.
Also look that the *.fat.tar files are present.

No check the zip file for its md5sum from the site with your zip and make sure it matches.. Also try flashing the correct hboot from jbear site to your device (DOUBLE CHECK IT BEFORE YOU FLASH IT WHETHER IT'S FOR YOUR AMAZE AND IT HAS THE CORRECT MENTIONED HBOOT VERSION) and try again..
EDIT : you can't flash a RUU through recovery.. Make sure your phone recognise your ext card maybe that's why try formatting it from recovery and keep the RUU in the root of ext card not inside any folder

Well the size of the RUU is 486.47mb now that I've checked it and it's different than what you just told me (referring to Aj redirected ruu) also the md5sum for that RUU would be
MD5 Sum: 2d7b51781171027adb7c2674394ed82b
Check your ruus md5sum using 4ext md5sum checker and compare it with that if it's different it's a bad download so download again

To check md5sum
Go into recovery
Install from zip > check md5sum > select zip file from ext_SD
And compare that md5 with ravike mentioned above...
And you told that your file size is 474.x
But actual size 486.4 so... Something is missing in your RUU...
Follow above steps....
If problem remains then format your SD card from 4ext recovery and after formating it try to put that RUU in your external SD card and then rename it.
After these steps your problem must be solve...
And
This is the link for RUU...
http://d-h.st/3VD
Download it and check md5sum as shown on site and from 4ext as I mentioned above...
And yup before flashing hboot download correct version for your amaze Bcoz it may hard brick your device...

1.. Download the kernel
file to your SD Card. It
should be in *.zip or *.rar or *.7z extension.
2. Extract the file via
Root Explorer.
3. You'll get a "boot.img"
file after the extraction
is completed. This file IS the main kernel.
4. Now create a folder in your SD Card to be
shown as /clockworkmod/backup/*KERNEL NAME*. Replace ''KERNEL NAME'' to the name of the kernel you are flashing.
5. Move boot.img file you got after extraction to "/sdcard/
clockworkmod/backup/
NAME/*HERE*. (the folder you've created- in
step#4).
6. View the details of
that boot.img file. (long
tap on file>Details- on
root explorer).
7. Copy the MD SUM you
got in file details.
8. Now there, create a
file and name it as nandroid.md5 . Open
nandroid.md5 file you
have created in a TEXT
EDITOR and paste that
md5 sum you've
copied ..and save ur
nandroid.md5 file.
Now there will be 2 files
in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/NAME/*HERE*:
--BOOT.IMG
--NANDROID.MD5
make sure their is no
other file except these two (boot.img, nandroid.md5)
9. Boot in CWM recovery.
10. Mount/System.
11. Select "backup and
restores''> advanced
restore.
12. Choose ur kernel file.
13. Select restore boot> comfirm restore.
14. When restore done,
goto ADVANCED and fix
permissions.
15. Finally, click on
REBOOT SYSTEM NOW.

Yes on Samsung galaxy devices it could work (I guess it should be working if there's this guide) because they have a separate kernel/recovery partition.

I think this question has been repeated upteeeenth time
YOU CANNOT FLASH KERNEL VIA RECOVERY ON XPERIA 2011 DEVICES
Reason #1 : We don't have a recovery partition .Other devices boot from recovery partition which allows to flash boot partition .
Reason #2 : Our recovery lies in boot partition. You cant flash kernels while they are running .
Depending on the recovery used ,the flashing will fail or the device will be hard bricked .
Only way to flash kernels on Xperia 2011 lineup is via fastboot .Period . No compromise .
Don't apply methods for other devices on 2011 lineup without prior knowledge.
