I'm having a problem with nandroid restore where it gives me a md5 mismatch. I never renamed a file or anything. If I cant do nandroid restore then I don't feel safe flashing rc1. I see there is a md5 fix in these forums but don't want do it unless I know it will work with aria. Can somebody lead me the way please and help a buddy out. Thanks you guys are the best.

Is it an old (i.e. done a while ago) back up? Take a new back up then try to restore it right away...see if it gives you the same error. Make sure, when you are booting into clockwork, that you don't have USB plugged in.
also make sure you are not connected to your charger when doing it, i had the same problem but when i took it off the charger it worked fine. see if that works for you.
ok same problem....
i did a recent back up (without phone being plugged into computer) and couldn't restore it. it gives me md5 mismatch. any takes at this mount!! nandroid is broken!!!!
So I think its my new eBay 32gb I got. Cause I put back the og 2gb and deleted abunch of crap, like pics and stuff that were already backed up. And backed up and finally restored.....yay. no md5 mismatch. But it did say something like there's no sd-ext skipping?

no sd ext just means you didn't partition your sd card, so don't worry about that.

I have a problem, I am running FR007 and I can't get Clockwork to make a working backup. If I try to restore from the backup it gives MD5 error. I also tried using Rom Manager and it gives me the android with the triangle error. What do I need to do to get a working backup.
Try titanium backup or Astro File Manager.

Out of curiosity, when you turn off your phone or, restart it, whatever it is that you do to get into clockwork...do you have your phone plugged in with the usb cable?
Yeah I get into clockwork and do a android backup but if I try to restore I get an,error. MD5 something. Titanium and astrology don't do android do they.

lol @ astrology. damn auto correct lol. anyway, you didn't pay attention to my question. do you have your phone hooked up to usb when you are rebooting to go into clockwork?
Yeah auto correct gets me alot. And no I don't have anything hooked to the phone when I try to backup.

are you renaming the backup folder?
No. It won't sync with HTC sync either if that helps.

same thing happened to me for almost all of my backups, i think it was because i put in a custom kernel. I switched back and it started to work again.
I have made many NANDROID backups in the past and today when I went to make my monthly backup it will not complete. It hangs on the last step "Generating md5 sum". Any idea??????
More info:
I went ahead and did a restore using the stalled backup and it did restore and boots up like normal. Clockwork Recovery must be screwed up, but at least the backup works.
How long did it stay? Mine take 10 minutes or so.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I have never had it take 10 min in the past to make the md5 so after 4-5 min I am assuming it has hung. After battery pull there is a md5 file and I used that backup to do a restore to test it and it worked ok so I think clockwork is just not completing and showing done and/or rebooting when it is complete. It is not a huge problem I guess since I managed to get a backup that works.
I too have been having issues with making and reloading backups. Mine get hung up on generating MD5 sums and also Checking MD5 sums. I don't receive any errors at all, it just freezes when trying to create the back up and restore the backup. What gives?
I was using CWM 2.5.1.2 and downgrade to 2.5.1.1 and still same. I now downgrade to CWM 2.5.0.5 and it completed the md5 withint 90-120 sec. So I guess I am keeping the older version of CWM.

This is a known issue on newer builds of Clockwork. Mine generally takes 10 mins to generate MD5. Older versions of clockwork are still quick. Just give it time and it will finish.
Ok thanks. Is there any benefit of the newer builds that I will miss if I just keep using the older 2.5.0.5 instead of 2.5.1.2?

newer clockwork supports slcd... older clockwork only works on amoled and allows for 10pt multi-touch.. my backup only takes maybe 2-3 min tops but it is definitely longer than before

besides being able to actually backup and restore? lol no you can search for a topic called "clockwork mod...on crack" and it will give u the speed increase for scrolling with the trackball. im one of the 1st ppl here to post a problem with 2.5.1.1 so yea if u have an amoled don't use cwm higher than 2.5.0.5...it just messes **** up

Thanks for this thread....I can't count how many times I've lost my current set up because I thought my phone froze when it said MD5sum............so I should just wait right, it'll eventually finish correct?

ive been rooted for quite some time, and never have had trouble with pulling backups form clockwork recovery. last night i made a backup of my CM7.0.3 that i was using for a while to try out virtuous unity. today on my lunch break at work i attempted to load the backup and i was getting that error message.
i did a "superwipe for g2" right before i tried to recover.
then i attempted to recover my stock rom i have had for months an i got the same error message. any ideas? the only thing i could think of is a few days ago i cleared out a HUGE cache in my clockwork from my SD to clear up my card. could that be it? any help would be appreciated.
bump.
someone please give me some help! i would really appreciate it.
i attempted this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11768066&postcount=2965
but go no response and still had a md5 mismatch.
Had that issue before... The back up process didn't go right unfortunately. I would recommend you to download another Rom and transfer it to your SD card.

Well it rarely happens. I remember when I got the same error and told somebody in XDA they told me that during the back up process clockwork didn't back it up correctly which leads you not being able to restore your back up. Had virtuous 2.2 back then, good thing was I had 2 back ups just in case so I was able to restore a later version of my back up.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Did you by any chance change the name of the folder of the backup? I once 'annotated' the default date-time format that Clockworkmod uses with something more meaningful to me, but found that it breaks the MD5 check.
I'm just asking on the off-chance because changing the folder name back to what it was when the backup was made will fix it, if that's the case.
Good luck.
Yeah I did, but I hadn't had any problems with renaming it with it before. I attempted to change it back to a default name and that didn't work. Is there anyway to try and recover my backup, or just my data?

I also had this problem before when switching between cyanogen and a Sense ROM. The way I fixed it was I downloaded, wiped and installed a fresh new cyanogen ROM. After it was installed I was able to restore my old backup from CWM.
ill have to give that a try. thankyou sir.
Ok so i lost my basebant and ime flashon between cm7 and miui, ove been truong all kinds of modems but no luck so if i odin back yo stock will i get it back?

He means efs folder. If you flashed the initial cm7 there should be a folder called backup on your SD card. Inside all your IMEI information should be there. Search the forums for more information on this problem. There are SEVERAL other users that have experienced this problem as well as resolved it.

Yes!!! I love you guys!! I found the backup efs folder, but now what do i do?

If you look at the very bottom of the first post it's the instructions on how are you going to restore it.
If I were you Id make sure you lost your efs data.
Did you check the /efs folder to see if its empty?
Okay i tried the busybox command and it doesnot work.. i also tried thre others
Is your phone unlocked?
I have some files here which you would just put your efs folder then it will restore it for you. But i really can't remember the exact process.
I tried doing that with linda file manager but it said read only... kinda sucks cuz that would have been easy... anyways.. i have all those files on the root of my sd... i also tried modifying the code by adding /sdacard/ before /nv_data.bin to select were the file is (root of sdcard)
Don't edit anything on your original efs folder.
Ok, i have the files uploaded. But before anything please don't blame me in case whatever happens to your phone. I used this in the past because my IMEI also got screwed. It's your decision whether you're going to use it or not.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23360211/insert_efs_save.zip
Here's how i remember it.
1. So you there's an efs folder there and you replace that efs folder with your original efs folder. Again, your going to replaced it not put inside it.
2. You have to be rooted of course, and connect your phone while on USB debug.
3. There's a file called in insert efs folder.bat you click it and it's going to show you what to do.
4. Pray that it would work.
Again, please don't blame me. It's your phone so don't do this if you're not comfortable doing it. But hey, you've got nothing to lose.
Wait what rom are you using right now?
Im using cm7 n im gonna try that now
Try to go back to stock first if you're going to try it, back up your efs folder to your computer.
Wait stock as in jfd? And i already have my efs backed up, when i flashed the initial cm7 it backed it up... but if i go stock i can get everything back to normal by just simply doing an odin right? Cuz when i do go back to stock, i plan to just go use simply honey hkney instead...

Odin plus JFD + the right pit file also check the re-partition. Then root and restore your efs.
My phone suddenly went bonkers this afternoon, didn't have any signal and the IMEI was blank. Using stock rom KI8 with speedmod. It was running fine for days but I don't know why it did what it did for no reason at all.
Good thing I backed up my /efs folder with an app. I had a problem with restoring my efs backup using the .img but for some reason with the .tar it works (thank God I backed up using both ways).
I'm wondering why it just suddenly did this on its own? Wasn't doing anything extraordinary with it. Odd.
The reason why a backup is so important. I don't even want to see a service center. I take my precautions accordingly.

Haven't resolved everything yet actually. Why is it that using the img file to restore doesn't work. It just gets stuck. Though the .tar backup works.

My bad, I was under the impression you did.
So you say that your .tar backup works, yeah? What exactly do you mean by that? Or are you saying that you've managed to restore your IMEI (using the .tar), but still want to know why it happened?
If so, there honestly could be a plethora of reasons, including rouge apps, a ROM dev. who didn't check their work, etc. etc.
If you still need to fix it / want someone to share some of the more technical information, try contacting Odia, I know he is able to restore IMEI's without backups, so he'd probably be your best bet.

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction.
Let me set the facts straight. I was able to restore it using a tar backup. Initially I used an img to try to restore but that failed. Good thing that during the time I backed up my efs I was amused with the app and made both img and tar backups just for kicks.
