There are no spaces in the file names but it gives me an md5 mismatch?
Sent from my albino HTC Vivid
try naming it something simple like backup. If it still doesn'twork it could be a corrupt file, I've had it happen once.

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 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.
good evening everyone
strate after the rom file I copy the folder to SD / ClockworkMod / backup
I open the recovery but get an error "incompatible MDL5"
What am I doing wrong?
someone I can spend more installation details?
I've been the last Rom Cyanogen ICS
Thanks
Try downloading the files again and try to restore with the freshly downloaded nandroid backup, perhaps some files just got messed up and corrupted along the way. And should it be md5 not mdl5? Maybe you could check the files on your pc and rename it

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?
