Try creating a blank nandroid.md5 file with notepad and then place the same in the backup folder and then try restoring backup.
hope this helps!

just save as .txt then change the extension to md5 using file explorer or similar.
if you long press on a file in file explorer it should popup with some options. Select rename and change the extension from txt to md5

What is md5sum??
http://154.ca/otr/iso/md5sum.shtml
Md5mismatch occurs when md5sum of files does not match the value stored in nandroid.md5.
I created this script because my backups gets corrupted often..
Instructions
Rename md5fix.sh.txt to md5fix.sh
Place md5fix.sh in root of your sdcard
Run it using script manger
Done
Disclaimer
Do it at your own risk
MD5 mismatch means the file has been altered. You have been warned.
greetings lj
Or you can make a blank text document and rename to nandroid.md5 (0 byte)
This way CWM bypasses md5 check and restore your backups immediately
how do you run scrip manager if you phone doesnt boot up and you need to do a restore

so this is how we backup framework
hi, please tell me if i copy back framework, does it need to change permissions and also does it FC system or Reboots itself?
If I connect my phone to the laptop and look at a specific 'backup date' that's saved, on my phone, there is 6 or 7 files within the folder.
If I then copy the backup to the HDD on my laptop and open it there's only 2 files in the folder.
Why ?
Does that mean that if, for whatever reason, I lost my backups on the phone and then copied them from my laptop to my phone, they wouldn't work as a 'restore' because there's 'files missing' ?
Thanks

I am not really aware of thud issue, first off please post the name of the recovery you are using, since nandroid backups differ.
It might be probable that there is an issue while using the usb.
I would suggest following this step.
Download Airdroid (its a way that you can copy files or download files from your phone to your computer and vice versa over the WiFi )
Go to your backup folder , write click on your backup folder and select "download as zip" . Once downloaded try to open the zip file and count the number of files.
Good luck

Concerning the number of files in the TWRP nandroid backups, it differs from one ROM to the other. For me I have about 7 in stock, 8 in CM and 9 with android hd revolution.
If you want to know whether your copying is a success, compare the folder size. Use ES file explorer or any other to total size, then on your computer do the same and compare. But I think its an issue with your USB hubs or the phone itself . Airdroid fixed it to me as I am having laggy usb hubs and so forth and so on, so it saves time.

It's stock 4.2.2, sense 5 that I backed up.
Just tried Airdroid like you suggested, will take a bit of getting used to, and still 2 files missing.
Files on phone in backup folder :- boot.emmc.win
boot.emmc.win.md5
data.ext3.win
data.ext3.win.md5
recovery.log
system.ext4.win
system.ext4.win.md5
Files on laptop after transfer :- boot.emmc.win
boot.emmc.win.md5
data.ext3.win.md5
recovery
system.ext4.win.md5
For whatever reason, 'data.ext3.win' and 'system.ext4.win' are missing ???
Thanks

Updated TWRP last night and copied backups to laptop this morning using USB cable AND Airdroid.
Same results, files missing. They're on my phone, in case of restore, but can't get them ALL onto laptop.
Tried to copy them onto Ubuntu, it's a dual boot laptop, but that only copies an empty folder ?
Also tried copying from phone direct to USB stick, no joy.
CONFUSED.

Still trying.....
Been trying through, various, wifi transfer apps. Nada !
Also tried copying the files one at a time through USB, the ones that will not copy are 'data.ext3.win' and 'system.ext4.win'.
Even when 'right clicking, to copy, I've tried copying to folders and straight to desktop, they just will not copy. I DON'T get any message re. unable to copy, absolutely nothing happens.
Any suggestions ?

Sideload only works for rom.zip files, not for backups. you either have to push the backup to the right folder using adb push command or sideload any rom (don't forget to flash the boot.img in fastboot first) and copy the backup to the device as soon as it has finished booting.

Copy your files 1-6 into a subfolder under TWRP/BACKUPS/<serial number of your device> on the sdcard. Then you should find the backup in TWRP.

Sorry for the inconvenience
You have to create a new folder there - as I wrote it ('subfolder'). Then move the files into this folder.
