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?

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
your my personal hero today :* - thanks, works fine now.
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

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

So as the title says, I'm getting a "error occurred while restoring /data" message.
It all started when I received an MD5 mismatch error. I read some threads and was able to fix the MD5 mismatch using notpad++ and MD5 calc. It seemed that the data.img was the only one needing modification. After fixing the MD5, the restore process passed the MD5 check, however failed to restore data which I really need.
I've tried numerous backups. I've tried wiping all the cache's I could in CWM before creating backup. Nothing seems to work.
The kicker here, is that I have 2 backups nearly identical but only the earlier backup works when trying to restore. Now the only difference in the two backups are the offline map files I have installed for the app ForeverMaps.
I've had no problems restoring from backups before. I feel like the size of the backup may be the culprit. The backup size is about 2.3GB. But then again I don't understand why this would be an issue.
I'm running CWM version 4.0.0.4 and the ROM is a slightly modified stock rom for the galaxy tab 10.1. Honeycomb 3.1 I believe

If the checksum is incorrect, some data got corrupted somewhere. You can't just fix the checksum and expect the data to be correct thereafter.

Hmm...
Well is there a known issue with backups exceeding a certain size? I feel like this is where the error occurred in the backup process.
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?

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
