Check if you have any spaces in name of backup.
none mate, i havent even touched the files after I made the backup. and jsut checked none.

Yes it is possible.
I do this and it works:
\SDCard\nandroid\HT9APNT01015\ *custom named folders with img files inside*
Did you get that?
that's what I tried to do, but it seems nandroid didn't like its backups anymore after renaming the folders
when i 'Nandroid' restore the phone, do i have to reroot my phone? Or is root access still available? (Again, i'm new to the custom ROM world and getting familiair with the basics)
doing a nandroid backup is like creating an image of the phone software.
once you restore, your phone revert back being exactly the same as when you did the backup (rom wise, which includes root)

Thanks, i back-upped the phone after root was enabled, so it won't harm my root access.

Hmmm, that is weird. I wonder if it has to do with the type or version of recovery image you have. At the moment I have RA-hero-v1.6.2.
Just to be clear, if you don't rename the folders, it restores properly?
it does, just one time it happened the backup got corrupted and wouldn't let the phone boot after restore (I am using same recovery img as yours)
I'm going to try renaming the folders again later
I wish you luck! Could you please post back with the result? I am very curious.
In my ongoing travels on the internets I will keep an eye out for a possible solution.
looks like this time it worked.
for some reason nandroid it seems nandroid has an erratic behaviour from time to time.
first time I made a copy of my first (working) backup and I renamed it, nandroid won't let me load it (thus why I created this thread); yesterday, after working fine it created a corrupted backup and I had to reinstall cronos from scratch.
only difference between my first try renaming backup directories is that the first time I made the copy via windows, while the second time I did it through Astro.
I'm going to watch into this.
EDIT: k, sorted the renaming issue. nandroid simply won't handle folders with spaces in their name
still, a couple times nandroid produced corrupted backups and this is forcing me to backup 3 times in a row just to be sure. :/

Glad you've found the issue! That is really weird about Nandroid creating corrupted backups...
It is so strange that using Windows (or not) creates or solves problems. I've read of instances where creating a goldcard with Win7 failed but WinXP worked.
Guys,... You using AmonRa yeah?.... It might be worth mentioning all your finds to the man Amon Ra himself,... Post something in the AmonRa thread, maybe there is something he can sort for future updates.
OK when I got my phone. I activated it, rooted, installed titanium and did a full apps+system backup. Then removed the apps that I did not want to use. Since 2.2 maybe coming around the corner I tried to restore all apps+system data. This worked except for I cannot restore any of the apps that I made backups of such as all home(blur), desk(blur), cityid, blockbuster, social... stuff, news, help etc.. Titanium has never failed me before with my rooted droid.
Does anyone know how I can either get titanium to restore these, or does anyone have a /system/apps dump that I can put all default apps back in. I am assuming that without these apps I will not get the update.
BTW: did use Titanium wrong for this approach of making a backup?
Hey,
I had the same thing happen to me, I believe its because you probably did not install busybox just like i did not from inside titanium. None the less just go to droidxforums.com there are copys of the system dumps just make sure you get a system dump that matches your firmware version. Then once installed make sure you adjust the permissions on all the apks to match what ever else is inside the system\apps folder.
And B-LAMO! your done!
btw make sure you get the correct verison of the system dump or else its just a big waste of time
thanks
I found a system dump and moved all apps back over, installed set permissions and yep blam that simple. Thanks for the help
Hello!
Suddenly I'm getting on one of my backups "MD5 mismatch..." error. Didn't do anything. Haven't change a name of the folder, nothing.
Is there is some way to restore data from that backup?
Help me, please?
Thank you!
Did u try an advanced restore of data
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Yes. Actually, I've tried it first.
I am getting the same problem, and Yes I also did advanced restore but I got the same error there also.
I had the same problem once. I ended up having to restore an older backup.
Leave SPACES out of your filenames and folders

I was reading on this as was having same issue...a guy posed that you can't have SPACES in your filenames or folder names.
I did this and worked a treat!!!
Good luck...just take out the spaces...
There was no spaces because I did not change anything. It was Nandroid backup and suddenly it was not working. Couldn't do anything, so, restored older backup.
Are u perhaps using ext4 with no_journaling? All it takes is one zero misplaced and your data goes poof. Suggest in future you place copies of backups on your hard drive.
Brought 2 u via Bonzai! 5.0.2
I assume you're talking about flashing back to DI18 using Odin. Rename the file from .md5 to .tar and it will work fine. I don't think the .tar has a valid MD5 hash that ODIN recognizes.
Or not, just reread post.
I recently installed BigDX Crystal theme over GummyJar2.5. Before that, I had GummyJar 2.5 with BlueBerry Theme. I backed up GummyJar2.5 with Blueberry theme before I installed BigDX Crystal theme. Now I am trying to go back to BlueBerry theme so I run restore backup on both rom manager and clockmod recovery and neither works. It says "md5 sum miss match" what does this mean? Anyone know how to fix this w/o having to redo the whole thing?
As a note. I have org version of GummyJar2.5 with no theme backed up so when I install new theme, I use fresh copy.
Any input will be greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
When you renamed the backup, you probably have spaces or unknown characters in the new file name. There can't be any spaces. Example of a good way to rename a backup...
1-31-11_gummy2.5_blueberry
No spaces and no odd characters.
I don't think that's the case. Everytime I do backup, I never put space between the words or letter. I changed the backup name numerous times and never had an issue. This is the first time that my back would not work.
Anyone else have any idea?
The last time I got an md5 mismatch was when I made a nandroid of roms that I had set to overclock at boot. Try to figure out what you had done differently to those roms than other ones you can successfully restore. I had never had an md5 mismatch before nor since.
Let us know.

Hey guys,I've been testing roms today om my device,so I made a nandroid of my LeeDroid 2.2.3 setup.I checked my first backup with AFV(Android File Verifier,very nice app,I found it in the market) and cache.img and data.img were corrupted.I deleted it and made another backup.I checked with AFV and all was ok.I installed MDJ's rom,RCMixHD 6 and some other stuff,but later,when I wanted to come back to my LeeDroid rom,I tried to restore but CWM(3.0.2.8) gave me an MD5 Mismatch message.Now I have to start from scratch once again.Luckily enough,I backed up everything with Titanium,just in case.
Thing is,it's not the first time this is happening.At first I thought it was my CWM version,but none has worked well,and I've had 2.5.1.3,3.0.0.6,3.0.2.4,3.0.2.6 and 3.0.2.8.Anybody knows why this is happening?Cause I'm getting sick of it!Plus there is no AmonRA for the DHD.
Anyway,is there any way of manually restoring my supposedely corrupted data.img via adb or something?Even if it is corrupted,something won't work well but at least I will have tried!
Many thanks in advance,
Apostolis
Idea:
Could I "trick" CWM into restoring the "broken" nandroid backups by generating a new MD5 with MD5 Generator?If yes,there won't be any real danger other than having bootloops etc,right?
Two thoughts
Your SD card is corrupt
You actually have some corrupt data on data which is erroneously leading a AFV to report a corrupted backup
Personally I backup and restore all the time with nandroid with no hassle, I suppose the other thing is a rom specific issue as I'm using cm.
You've not been renaming your backup files or anything have you?* You shouldn't be getting MD5 mismatch errors unless the file has been changed somehow since it was created.
*because that's exactly what I did; renamed them when I moved them to my pc for easier filing. Then of course none of them worked until I eventually realised and changed them back
//sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk; all errors entirely intentional.
Thanks for your replies guys.
Firstly,there is a chance the SD is ****ed up,because I had some photos' thumbnails missing the other day.Now,if something in /data was corrupted...Well,maybe!I'll format my SD sooner or later and see...It's 16 freakin' gigabytes!
Secondly,no,I never renamed my backups to anything else.
Can anyone answer my question though?Could I trick CWM into restoring those backups?Would it hurt to try?

I don't think you can, It's a safety feature to prevent you from flashing a corrupt image.
How have you flashed your recoveries? Via ROM Manager or fastboot?
MD5 checksums are generated from the contents of a file, filenames are not included in this generation, unless of course there are filenames within the file that have been modified.

Ahaa...
I flash my recoveries through fastboot.Since I learned how to use it(I was afraid I'd somehow **** up at first)I flash them through fastboot.How is that relevant?
Anyway,I haven't modified anything.If I had,it'd make sense,but it doesn't.I didn't mess with the backup's files in any way,yet it got corrupted.Am starting to get desperate here...
I only asked because I know *sometimes* you have to flash recoveries twice within ROM Manager.
If the MD5 of the Recovery.img you flash is correct, then the problem has to be somewhere else. Other than checking your SDcard for errors & formatting, I'm not sure much else can be done.

Pff...I start to miss my Desire's flexibility!
Anyway,many thanks for your time man!Will see what I'll do...
I just checked my card for errors and there was indeed something wrong!Possibly my card is damaged somehow.It gives me problems too often.Or it's the phone,cause I used the same card on my Desire with no problems at all.Time will tell...
You can expect more people reporting similar issues here soon.I posted in LeeDroid's thread about it as a reply to andreasy and he has a similar problem.
