I renamed a nandroid backup once so that id remember which one it is but when i tried to restore it, it said MD5 mismatch or something like that. How do i rename it without messing up the MD5?

From what I understand you shouldn't rename them. Use rom manager to edit the names of backups.

Hey Guys, so I tested out a few roms and went to do a nandroid restore and it keeps giving me
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
All I did was rename the folders from dates to something like "Stock 2.1" and now it won't restore.
Any help? I have all my .img files, why can't I just push them to the system?
EDIT:
I got it fixed guys =D
I right clicked the folder and saw when the folder was created and renamed the folder from
"Stock 2.1 06-24" to the original time and date format "2010-06-24-12-04-39" (or whatever time it was)
Went back into nandroid and checking the md5 sums completed

never rename a file that's been md5'd. Create folders name as wished then put the files as wished. The hash is created from the file as a whole including the name. obviously for future reference only.
I do not know how to resolve your current problem.

Had this issue back on the nexus. Just run another backup, delete the files in the new folder and move whichever backup you want into it and it should work
I'm not sure how to recover your files. I'd think finding another nand backup of stock phone would be your best bet?

I currenty running Thor rom 14.2 and i want to return to stock 3.1.
I have a nandroid backup but accidentally i deleted .txt files inside.
Could i restore it or my tablet will brick
anyone??
First of all: Remember xda-developers is quite international so the person with the answer to your question may be asleep or working at the time you post...
Other than that: If you deleted part of your backup that's bad. You may get away with a partial (possibly non-functional) restore, or restore may fail altogether... Both shouldn't brick your tab, but you might have to do a full wipe and configure your rom from scratch; it may well be worth trying a restore, though, as you won't be causing any more damage anyway if your tab doesn't work anymore. Just make another nandroid backup in case you decide things were better before you hit the restore button... As long as you don't accidentally kill your recovery, android devices are incredibly hard to brick.

I just checked a number of nandroid backups of mine and the only ".txt" file that I could see was uid.txt in the main backup directory that contained the ".img", ".tar", and ".md5" files.
You could just run another nandroid BU of your current system and copy over the uid.txt file from that one to replace the one that you deleted. The uid.txt file should be the same from one BU to the next.
Jeff.
Thanks
Thanks for your help
So if i create a .txt file with my id number my restore will work?
Is there another way to restore to stock.

If you just put a text file with some random information in it, it may not work right.
Here is the procedure that was suggested:
Make a backup of your current settings
make a copy of the text file in that most recent backup
place that copied text file in the backup with the missing text file
try to restore the backup that was missing the text file, which you just copied the text file to

Unfortunately cwm does not support this, as when you change the filename or folder name it messes up the md5 sums.

It's true, what I do is to create a text file in the same folder, and add every rom backup name with an my own suitable name.

That's not the truth!
Renaming backup folder doesn't have anything todo with md5 sums. This is only ckecking .img and .tar files inside backup folder (this one with date and time).
Renaming folder with date and time stamp is SAVE. I do this after every backup with total commander on my PC and never had any issues.
Do NOT rename "clockworkmod" and "backup" folder, otherwise CWM will not find your backups.

I thought it didn't sound right when I was typing it, but it was my understanding of the issue. Do you mean rename folder while retaining the date created/modified timestamps? I'm a little confused as the default folder names for backups are date/timestamps.
U do not have to retaining the date/time stamp.
U can label it what ever U want.
"Typhoon" or "ICTosti_v.0.10" (without quotations) is for example what I label my backups.
But make sure there are no spaces in folder name!
There's a small bug in CWM that causes it to report a MD5 checksum error whenever it cannot find the md5 file. This can happen, for example, if you rename the folder to a new name which contains spaces. I consider it a bug because it should not say "MD5 checksum error", it should say "Unable to find MD5 file".
Anyhow, if you just rename the folder to a name (any) that does *not* contain any spaces, CWM will be able to restore it.
I think I might have messed up when i was updating a ROM, and now when I start up my phone, it's telling me that android.process.acore stopped, bunch of apps stopped, and the camera/dialer/gallery are missing. I made a backup using cwm prior to this, but when I try to return to the backup, cwm says there's an MD5 mismatch. I understand that in order to fix the MD5 mismatch error, I need to find the "nandroid.md5" file, which is located in the "backup" folder. The only problem is that I dont have a folder called "backup" in my clockworkmod folder, nor is it in my "data" folder. Does anyone know how I can find my cwm backup folder?
I just rooted my brand new note3 but I forgot to backup my EFS before flashing X-note... Now I made a backup on X-note rom, is it still ok for restore if I ever lost my EFS? Thank you
As long as you have the EFS file then it should be OK, keep it seperated from your internal HD if possible also!
EDIT: Btw the EFS file is around 14MB or so -
darn,.. my backup only 408KBs. I use this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447342 result said Everything is OK..
any idea why my file is so small?
from my root explorer ... the efs folder only 1.4MB big
OH! when i decompressed the file, there is disk image file is around 14MB
how do i restore it? btw.... I throw this compressed winrar file into ODIN? or decompress first, and then select these individual files accordingly

Sounds like it's OK.
Restoring I'm not so sure, due to me not having done it myself, I know you need busybox installed though or you'll encounter problems. Be warned EFS cause be a major ballache to do from people I've seen trying to restore, some have no issues though.
