CWM Restore ERROR... :( - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

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

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.

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

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.

Some of the mods might not work if the kernel is incompatible to those specific mods

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.

[q] İcs remİx rom v7.1 help

Hi,
I currently own a rooted SGS2,
I rooted it yesterday and it has Superuser and CMW.
I am trying to flash İCS REMİX ROM V7.1 XXLP2 4.0.3 resurrection
Ive downloaded and put it into phone/clockworkmod/backup folder (or whever it is supposed to be)
when i reboot my phone into CMW recovery mode and i choose to restoe the downloaded custom Rom, it says it cannot find system.img cache.img etc etc.. and then it says it has skipped the restore process.
when i checked the folder that i downloaded from İCS REMİX ROM V7.1 XXLP2 4.0.3 resurrection, all the files are in .tar format except the boot.img
anyone know how to solve this??
Some1 just had same problem, and I thinkbthe files are in tar format so if they are, learn more about flashing.

CWM backup
It is a CWM backup, you have to put the zip file you get after unrar in the folder sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. DO NOT UNZIP
I did that, and after I unrar-ed the downloaded file, I got a folder containing tar files , one md5 file and a boot.img
I also had some trouble restoring this ROM and what worked for me was to get a standard 4.0.3 ROM that you can install from zip from the sdcard and then only do the restore from the backup as they say in the intro of that thread.
Hope this helps

I currently do have a different 4.0.3 Rom installed from zip on my Galaxy s2,
so what you did was you did a restore from backup with ICS remix rom 7.1??
Yes I unzipped the File and copied the folder to the clockworkmod/backup folder. Then boot into cwm go backup and restore and restore from that date folder. Thanks to Wescrip and all the dev on that thread. They've done an awesome job so far.

I did exactly what you mentioned above, however I get error messages such as data.img not found cache.img not found,... then it says it's skpped it all and the restoration process becomes aborted...
is it because the files in the folder are in .tar format not .img?
That might be a problem with the Kernel or the CWM version you using. Not too sure.
What I can tell you is these are the steps I followed and they worked 100% for me.
1. For the first ROM i installed I downloaded this one - http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2/roms/CM9ICS/update-cm-9-SGS2-01122012-signed.zip
(Thanks to max at galaxy S2root.com for the link)
2. I did a full wipe and factory reset from CWM and then installed this zip file from sdcard.
3. I booted my phone and let it start up. Then switch off again and go into CWM.
4. Then chose restore from backup and restore (as you will see CWM is now 5.5.x.x which might have a influence not sure)
5. Let it start up and bob's your uncle.
Edit : just fyi there seems to be a problem with the cwm that comes with that rom as it doesn't read the sdcard and I couldn't restore from it. So either you must flash a new cwm from odin when you want to restore to your old rom or install the first rom again so you have a working one and then restore.

[Q] Flashing system zips / updates

Razr on GSM ICS Leak.
I'm trying to flash some zips through the stock recovery and it fails with "signature verification failed". The zips are placed on an external SD card.
I assume only properly signed images can be flashed using this method, so is there another way to do it? On all the other devices I use CWM for this.
I've also tried manually copying the files with Root Explorer but I get into a bootloop.

Dual Boot (siyah kernel) - where are 2nd rom files?

I'v installed a 2nd rom with siyah 3.4.1, I see a hidden folder @ internal memory called '.secondrom' with size of 2.2 GB and only two img files: data&cache.
There is any way to browse the 'root' dir of the 2nd rom ?
I want to get into its system/etc folder, but these folders are only at the 'original' root (of the primary rom).
Another question -
Should I install every app (same apps) to each rom?
There is a simple way to install app to both roms at once or only separate to each rom?
About deleting 2nd rom:
After I'm doing a wipe date&cache to 2nd rom, what should I delete manualy from internal memory? (which folders?)
If you want to explore 2nd ROM files, you need to enter to "hidden" partition.
About deleting: just remove .secondrom folder.
You can't install one app at the same moment on both ROMs, cause the ROMs are independent of each other.

Thanks for the answers!
What is the path of the hidden partition? there is any way to see it?
I'm using 'es file explorer' with all the root permissions enable, include enabled showing all the hidden files/folders... but can't see this partition. (if its possible of course)

Below the previous question -
If I'll update Siyah kernel or install other dual-boot kernel (for example dorimnax) will I have any problem with loading the 2nd rom?
anyone have any idea?

I don't think so because I believe that those kernels are based off Siyah in the first place.

No everything will be fine, I have even changed kernels to a non dual boot just to try them out and when I install SiyahKernel again it's just like I never changed and no need to set up the 2nd rom again as it's already there

I want to get into its system/etc folder, but these folders are only at the 'original' root (of the primary rom). - all I can see is a folder @ internal sd .secondrom with 2.2gb - data & cache .img only...not all the other directories (system, ...)

accessing system root in 2nd rom
Its really very simple and you'll kick yourselves.
Boot into the second ROM.
Navigate to system in your file manager.
For dual boot the image file from your sd is mounted as the system so when you navigate to system while booted to second ROM it will be the contents of that file you are seeing.
For more info about how it works follow the link from the siyah website.
While we're on the topic can anybody help me to bind/symlink the standard app installation folder in data to the data folder in the second ROM to save duplicating installed apps? I understand that the data and dalvik will need to be desperate but surely the apk files don't need to be duplicated?
All hail gokhanmoral!

Help deleting cwm backups

First off, don't rename a cmw backup... trust me, if you rename the zip it will cause an md5 mismatch when you try and restore and that always tends to happen when ya need it most.
Second the file you are looking for is either on your SD or your internal storage, the file si called clockworkmod or something like that, inside you will see a file labled backup. Delete as you will, but I always tend to transfer said files onto my pc and title an individual folder for each file, there for eliminated the irritation of md5 mismatch.

That's what I'm sayin . There is no clockwork mod folder. I do have it installed though. Thanks for the info. I didn't know that would mismatch the md5

You should be able to restore the folder , by booting into recovery , and running a new backup.
This will force place a new backup file to the SD card in the proper location.
If this does not work , or the backup fails to run, you must reflash the recovery using Odin ....g
you are using cwm and not twrp right? if using twrp the backups are in folder named twrp on internal or external which ever one you specified when backing up.
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
/sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup
Are you rooted?
Are you on a stock-based rom and not a CM-based rom?
