Hello Everybody,
I'm new to this forum and I hope posted this in the right section.
I have a Coolpad F1 TD-SCDMA. Today I flashed a custom ROM but I want my original ROM back.
So I wanted to restore the backup I earlier made today. When I am in CWM and choose restore it gives me: MD5 Mismatch!
I went to check for it in the directory but i didn't see any .md5 file.
Here is a guide for a similair problem, but since I am new to this and as he said in the topic: he ported it for One V. I am not sure if it will work.
I hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks in advantage!

Yea, that SHOULD work.
Just tried it when typing in: 'adb shell' in cmd I get: 'error: device not found'.
Drivers are installed I think, I can see the files on my phone of my SD and emulated SD card.
Any suggestions?
Edit: It WILL find my device when turing on Mass Storage (MTP) instead of charging only.
I tried this using MTP.
Code:
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2014-10-08.08.47.17/
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
Then I went back to CWM to restore the backup but still the MD5 mismatch.
Edit:
I wonder how this MD5 mismatch error even started.

Did you start with adb shell while connected in MTP? Did you look with a file manager to see if it is creating the md5 file? Did you try Method 3 with busybox? As far as what causes it, it's explained in the first post of that thread.

Thanks for the response. First I started try with charge only. When that didn't work I start with adb shell whil connected in MTP.
Yes, but unfortunatly it isn't. No, did not try method 3 yet.
But I did try this. It is the same method but without adb. But as you can see in the other topic:

Looks like this (third paragraph) is the problem: Not enough space to finish the backup. I will install the sotck rom shortly and try to restore the data.

I've got 3 CWM backups on the internal memory of my Samsung SG2.
I tried to restore one and it failed on md5 mismatch/error (or something to that effect...) - tried the others - all returned the same error, yet when I'd actually backed them up, they all completed successfully.
The one thing I did to them all, was give them a more recognisable name, rather than just the date & time so I knew which ROM they were...so out of interest, I backed up my existing (new) Cognito ROM while still in CWM, then when it had finished the back up, immediately tried to restore the newly backed up ROM....and it worked! Is it failing on the others because I've renamed the CWM backup folder?? I'm sure I've done this in the past on my old HTC Desire, and had no problems
Also, is there a way to rescue the backups I've done by generating a new md5 checksum for the renamed backups...or are they toast now??
Thanks for any help...

Google and you will find:
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010-06-29.20.22.53 (Which is your clockwork mod backup folder)
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
Do this from a terminal emulator or from adb...
Thanks karendar...but I'm afraid I'm a bit crap at adb and that kinda stuff
I've downloaded an emulator off the market and when I fire it up, I got a $ prompt; found out how to get # prompt but when I put all that in, it gives the following error:-
"md5sum: can't open '*Img': No such file or directory"
When I looked inside the backup folder, there are a series of img files so is the wildcard * is to be put for each file in the back up folder? (I tried one of them - the boot.img file in there, this time there was no error brought up....but I also never got any 'success' confirmation or anything
Help
(BTW....whenever I type the letter 'i' - it changes into a capital 'I' all the time... What's that all about??)
**Bump** anyone??
Rename your backups and make sure there are no spaces in the names. Or keep them to a maximum of one space.
That way there will be no problem with md5 mismatch.
Considering your issue with md5sum: turn off autocorrection in your keyboard settings, and then make sure the command you are typing is
Code:
md5sum *.img
Note that as Android is Linux, capitalisation matters, and *Img will return no results at all.
Thanks dude, i had the same problem on my P500, and your tip helped a lot!
Especially since my phone was stuck in a bootloop and my recoverys wouldnt work... You learn something every day!

Howdy mate.... I stumbled upon this thread by accident, so I don't have the issue you experienced, but might I suggest that you explain how you fixed your issue, or post a link to the pertinent info?
That way if someone with the same problem comes up here it won't be a dead-end and there will be a solution attached to this thread, making it useful.
Share the knowledge
yeah, what did you do???
i have experienced that too.. and havent got the answer.. so the only thing i could do was just restore my other backup but was a month after the latest backup.. how did you fix it?

Because file in /system/bin is md5, not md5sum
Nice.. bumping a year old thread.
I have the same problem, I backup from cwm, then when I want to restore with the same version of cwm, the log sais md5 missmate,
Question guys. I'm trying to restore a nandroid backup and keep getting the md5 checksum mismatch error. I have a few nandroids that work at the moment. I know this is a stupid question but I thought worth a try. If I replace the files from the nandroid backup that gets the md5 error and move all the files over to a nandroid thats working, is this possible? The only file I won't be replacing is the nandroid.md5 file. I've moved the boot, cache.ext4, data.ext4, system.ext4 files that I would like to restore. Thanks in advance guys!
Please close thread. Got it fixed!

Actually if you're trying to restore a backup and get that md5 mismatch error it usually means that there is characters in the backup's folder name that it won't recognize, try renaming the backup folder name with no spaces or hyphens, I usually only use letters and numbers with no spaces, try that and it should be ok at that point...
EDIT: Also I don't recommend moving the files into a working backup folder as the md5sum is generated for each specific backup and you could have problems if the md5sum doesn't match the files that they were created for...

Hi guys,
I currently have a Zopo ZP300 phone
I have no issues getting CWM to install or work, but when trying to create a rom backup things start to go funny.
Firstly, the backup takes hours to complete.. 2~3 hrs.
- I end up with :
boot.img approx 3.8 Gigs in size
cache.ext4.tar approx 17kb
data.ext4.tar approx 334 MB
recovery.img approx 3.8 Gigs
system.ext4.tar approx 386 MB
Secondly, when the backup completes, i am greeted with "Error while generating md5 sum"...
I have factory reset the phone, i have wiped all caches, Dalvik etc, etc... no luck.
I have also tried Terminal Emulator to generate a MD5 and end up with nandroid.md5 of 0 Kb in size which is useless..
Anyone ??
Get 4EXT recovery and you will never have any sort of problems installing or updating custom roms. Its free, constant updates, touch based interface, and easier to use than clockwork.

Is it compatible with ZP300 ?
Can you make backup with it ?
Cheers
Not sure about compatibility but yes you can make backups everything you do with clockwork you can do with 4EXT and more

Ok.
I tried again to make a backup, but again i get "could not generate md5 file" error.
So now i tried to make md5 using ABD and md5sum command, but i get "sh: md5sum: not found" error.
I also tried terminal emulator with same result..
Now what do i do ? Why do i get "not found" error ?
Is there another way to make md5 ?
I really need to make a reliable nandroid backup...

Recovery might be generating a corrupt md5.
Ok try this:
Code:
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/XXXXXX/
rm nandroid.md5
md5sum *.img > nandroid.md5
This should do the trick because the md5sum file must be named nandroid.md5

Hi friends i would like to share the problem that i faced and solved with other's help.
This thread is only for the people who have the md5 mismatch error while restoring nandroid backups. I created this thread since there were no similar questioned thread.
This error comes usually due to renaming the nandroid backup folders.
Try any one of the following fixes to solve this,
1. Use a program editor like notepad++ to open the nandroid.md5 file and remove all lines except the first line which would have some hex values follwed by boot.img.
2. run the following commands in terminal emulator of ur android:
#cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/(name of backup)
#rm nandroid.md5
#md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

Are you sure u typed the commands correctly. The command surely creates a nandroid.md5 file in the nandroid backup folder with the checksum values.

Hi,
Look on your sd card/clockworkmod/backup.
Missing backup files
Have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-i337) Have made a couple of backups with CM and they show up in the Backup and Restore when in CM app. The path shows /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup but when I use ES File Explorer or Explorer they are not to be found. I can open /mnt/shell but the shell folder says 'Empty Folder'.
The reason I want to open the backups is to fix the MD5 checksum errors I always get when trying to restore.
It must be something simple but I can't figure it out.

You can find any other ways to Mount the SD card in recovery, with the help of adb shell or any other methods to access the backup file.
Else with the help of externel sdcard flash any stable ROMs and then try the restore thing.
Else try flashing the stock firmware available for your model.
