i had to start again via odin , fresh install

update, i was running neatrom lite v 3.xx before, so i tried an experiment, i installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569686 neatRom Lite v4
this installed ok, when "android updating" , after the initial install, i noticed that it was updating 156 apps ( the amount of apps i had originally)
however when you start you can only see 34 apps, which i guess must be the stock amount of apps with this rom
still cant restore anything , still can see that backup i did this morning, still get the same error message when i try and do any kind of restore ie MD5 mismatch"
is there anyway i can recover:
my contacts, those apps, my messages,
ie just the data and, have the apps ( that were just updated, but not visible) available?
thanks !

this happens so for various reasons ma8
like a corrupt backup, backup folder name changed, kernel mismatch etc
u can use 'Root toolbox' app to restore ur MD5 and then try cwm restore
also visit the link below for some more info on the same (MD5 mismatch)

Just flash the same kernel you used to to make the backup, then restore your backup with that.
Btw, You didnt have a "soft brick" there is no such thing. Its a made up phrase by n00bs when they dont know what they have done and cant get system to boot so need to label it in some way. A device is either "bricked" or it isnt.

Yes i take your point about the "soft brick" , same as "she is a little bit pregnant" i guess
Linkhunter sent me a link to re-create my md5 , it's an EXE program, so needs to be run under Windows, im just just not sure how im supposed to get it to make a new md5 for my back up
can anyone give step by step instructions i can follow
re "Just flash the same kernel you used to to make the backup, then restore your backup with that.", are you saying because i made the backup with kernal A ( ICS), then tried to migrate to kernal B" ( Jellyban) , that it was the migration mis-match that is causing it not to restore,. Why i ask, is because i made another backup for some reason last September, and i tried to restore that one and it looked as if it would restore, i didnt get the (using ROM Manage Pro) message saying,." this doesnt appear to a valid backup, md5 is missing" .i stopped at that point, i still would rather get my latest backup (the data and apps restored) if possible

lol you got it
BTW there is a way to recalc md5sum via terminal emulator, just google it and you'll be able to restore. Happened to me too and solved this way

If you ever run into an md5 mismatch error when trying to restore a backup, you could try the following ^^
Using Terminal Emulator: (mind spaces)
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/backup-name-goes-here
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
Do usual wipes then restore the full nandroid ^^
NB, if it works (it has for me in past) it'll prob only work once for a particular nandroid...
so, after (if...) it works - just del old nandroid & make a new one
Sorry Bout the noob question.. but can we do this using different recovery backups? Like if you wanna restore a backup from twrp in a cwm recovery ?

dunno ^^ might work... someone with more knowledge than myself told me I coud just move a nandroid to the correct folder i.e. the one twrp uses & it would be all good... never tested it myself though
hey folks.. just wondering if someone can help me out here, being a total noob when I rooted my xt910 (actually I'm still a total noob), I went a bit app delete happy.. now I'm trying to get back to stable ground. Have been basically following the info found on this thread
So basically at the minute I'm looking for:
Stk.apk (SH1 hash should start 9844, umm or 7687 *I think)..
I've pulled some from a couple of system dumps I've found, but they appear to be the wrong files.
Current system version is: 672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU
Alternatively a complete system dump would be lovely! :good:
For you : http://www.m1rr0r.com/tmp/stk.zip
For complete system dump : https://mega.co.nz/#!NhxH1J4I!CHsB3zXTc2w2W_P6vQ33c0ikHCx4zRZhUYQvqse3Guk
Credit to Al936 for the system dump
Thanks for that.. sadly it hasn't worked, I'm just guessing but I think that's an earlier version... just got the error again..
assert failed: apply-patch_check("/system/app/Stk.apk", "7687d471751e88b078a5ff22c74a2740509b2221", "3fecaad984476aff276408159b08023c8b0b6f02")
E:Error in tmp/sideload/package.zip

It's ICS.. I'm currently trying to load JB, but these errors are preventing the update..
Oh hang on... just tried again, it worked; one step further
Really simple ;p !
Flash this SBF...

Root the phone again...
Use voodo root ota rootkeeper to backup the root
Update your phone
Use rootkeeper to restore the root
Restore your apps and backup
(Backup your file before if you need... all data will be wiped !... )
All sorted, just needed one more file from that full dump, and it worked.. I'm all JB'd up.. thanks for the help! :good:
hello guys. i own a micro-max a90s running ICS. it worked fine but few days back it suddenly showed errors like acore stopped, calender stopped, etc no app works properly. i tried every possible solution i could fine but vain.. tried to factory restore from phone but it id ok no use ... tried to format cache and data partition from stock recovery but it just completes but nothing really happens. Then i tried to format using SP tools but it also completes but in vain.... i am no able to side-load apps...
Finally i figured out that my /data partition has been set as read only . i tried to remount it as read write but it doesn't work. Now i need to help to change my /data to read write. or any other solution that will work. thank in advance
During the backup restore, the system partition fails and gives me error 255. I'm restoring from PAC B322 to Stock B322, so there shouldn't be a partition size problem like I was having before... Has anyone else had this error?
Bueller?
Nobody has seen this before? Google hasn't been very helpful..
Please give more info around the error 255. So others didn't have this problem may be able to help.

Well, that's really all there is to it... I try to restore a backup and as it is running through the system partition, it stops and says "error 255", failure to restore. I was hoping that was a more common issue
I tried at least 5 times, made separate/new backups, different ROMs, all the same error.

A few things you can try, save the twrp log and upload to this thread; use a different sd card; reformat the card then try backup/restore.
Uhm, what version of TWRP?
Also, try without MD5.
