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

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.

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.

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.
Hello. My EVO is updated with all the new firmware and such as I just got it. I have my EVO rooted using the unrevoked method. The PC36IMG is the only thing I can flash to. When I remove the PC36IMG from my sd card and try to flash another ROM I get errors. When I put the PC36IMG back on the card it will find that image and load it and it goes back to sprint lovers. What do I have to do to flash another ROM?
It would help if you said what kind of errors you got.
Did you do a nandroid backup before you tried to flash? If you can't, you didn't root correctly or somehow broke your root.
The bootloader will always look for PC36IMG because it's the default recovery image name. Remove it and it will just tell you it's missing, at which point you flash a different ROM in the recovery menu (go to install zip from SD card).
Obviously you can flash to sprint lovers so I guess you got it rooted ok at some point.
Have you tried doing a full data/cache wipe before flashing to the new rom?
I cannot remember what errors I got at the time. I finally got my phone back to sprint lovers. Everytime I try to do a backup it will not do it, it will just reboot and loop on the white Sprint evo screen. I've tried to flash fresh and others and I get errors. I put the PC3IMG back on and it will find it, and load sprint lovers back on. I don't know what else to do at this point except just stay where I am at and hope nothing goes wrong.

She's going to need to manually download a new ROM and flash it from Clockworkmod. Holy run-on sentence btw.
That's the problem though her laptop is getting worked we tried advanced restore and everything but it gets stuck on boot
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
She could always pop her SD card into another phone, use that phone to download the ROM, and then move it back. Or, she could borrow and friends computer or go to a library. Either way.....

How about adding a period here and there.
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 an Epic myself and the security of this new HTC phone threw me for a loop. Anyway , I was trying to put CM7 on his phone , starting from stock. I managed to get CWM 3.0.0.5 on it and then flashed the CM7 from here. Now it is stuck on the white Tmobile screen , Ive let it sit therefor an hour and nothing. But the real problem is that I cant find a way to restore to stock and start over. With the Epic we use a windows program called ODIN in case something like this happens. Ive tried using ADB but the phone is showing offline so I cant push any commands to it. Is there an app like ODIN that will let me factory reset this phone and try this again? Thanks

Sounds like you rooted and flashed CM7 onto it without having s-off. If I'm not mistaking there is another thread similar to this one somewhere. Also you need cclockwork 3.0.0.6 to flash back and fourth from stock and other roms.
you need pd15img.zip on your SD
pd15img.zip reboot into hboot with that file and the part7-0000000000.bin file on your sd and it will load and ask you to push volume up to confirm then wait, it will restore the phone i know i did it, took me 3 damn days to figure out you need that part7.bin file on your sd with that pd15img.zip file...or its a no go, trust me this WILL def work...its a life saver, i did the same thing you did...had clockwork and no s=off...now i successfully restored it and sent it back to tmobile because before i solved it i panic and called for a replacement, told em it wont turn on, they sent the new one, and about 20 mins ago i flashed cm7 after folling this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996 to turn s=off...works great good luck
Where do i get the part7 file and the other one? Thank you

It was creates with you permanent rooted it.. should be on your SD card. In the rooting instructions it tells you to keep that file around.

Just make sure that u dnt keep tryin to flash the rom cause u gonna end up gettin the cant mount cache & data errors,which once that happens nothin can b done with the mt4g.. So if u used the gfree method to root the phone u should have the part7-xxxxxxxx.bin file,stick that to the root of the sd card & put the pd15 file to the root of the sd card,powerdwn or battery pull,reboot into recovery & let the phne do its thing..
I don't think he has that part7-xx......bin file for his mt4g phone since he did not run gfree patch. You can't do stock nandroid restore also because that requires CWM 2.5.1.4 but you can always give it a shot.
Good luck with your boss, hope you don't get fired.

I didn't use the gfree method for getting perm root.
So i never got that part7 file that you speak of....
I have found them online to download but even using someone elses i still doesnt load the .zip from hboot :{
I downloaded the glacier file , like 350 MB or something , renamed it to PD15IMG.ZIP (had to leave the .zip out because windows). Then I found the part7.bin file from another thread. Put both on sd card. Vol down and power, it found the pd15img file and started restoring the image. 15 minutes later the phone boots up just like brand new! Thank you to everybody who helped with this! Sometimes I dont know what i'd do without this place!
P.s.- he still wants gingerbread any suggestions as to best rom?
Thanks again everyone

I think you made a fine choice with CM7. Just make sure you are rooted and have flashed the latest clockworkmod through ROM manager (3.0.2.4 I believe) and it should flash without issue.
