After making full backup using cwm is there a way to make sure the md5 is correct, the way I have been doing it is do a backup and then do a full restore which checks the md5 at restore time. It would be nice just to do the md5 checking and then give you the option to continue. I have not found if it can be done. Thanks

hello,
i wanted to try out new 1.7.15 and did full backup of my nandroid... now if i try to restore i get an md5 mismatch...
i renamed the backup at pc to romname... can i do anything to rescue my backup....?
edit:
can i flash each .img maybe via fastboot ?
when you rename your backup make sure there are no spaces in the name or recovery will not read the backup thus you having md5 mismatch

Even easier, use 4ext control app, and choose correct, then your backup will work again

I understand that there are some md5 mismatch fixes or workaround, but there are some backups that I used before but when I tried to use it again, I got the md5 mismatch. I have 3 different backups and they all showed md5 mismatch. Is there an issue with my SD card that is causing the backups to become corrupt? Anyone have an idea?
Last night I made a backup to try out a couple different ROMs, but I wasn't able to restore it. I chose compression and skip MD5 when creating the backup, but when I tried to restore it, it told me to deselect MD5 file check, even though it's unchecked. I looked everywhere within TWRP and nothing regarding MD5 is enabled except the "skip MD5 creation" when backing up.
TL;DR: I told TWRP not to make MD5 when backing up, when I went to restore it told me there was no MD5 even though verify was disabled.
Why am I unable to restore backups? And am I just stuck now? Do we need to use MD5 with TWRP?

Caught by the same thing
My solution was to just regen the md5sums. Use this one line after you start an adb shell in root mode and move into the folder containing your backup.
for i in *.win*; do md5sum $i > $i.md5 ; done
This will generate md5 files for your backup and you'll be able to restore.
or use philz touch recovery and enable twrp mode
Sorry if this is the wrong place. I have made several nandroid backups using Philz Touch recovery (6.0.4.7 i believe) and my ROM is Negalite Wonderom NG2 v3. All of the backups fail the MD5 check. I have made the backups from both the recovery and an app (online nandroid backup). I looked at the backups using nandroid manager, and the same file causes the backups to fail the md5 check. After re-generating the md5sum using nandroid manager, then immediately checking them via the in-app verify function, the same file (system.ext4.tar.gz.a) fails the check. Why is this, and how can I fix it? Any help would be appreciated.
