[Q] MD5 Mismatch - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

MD5 mismatch on nandroid restore?!

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?

From what I understand you shouldn't rename them. Use rom manager to edit the names of backups.

Cant load cwm backups

There are no spaces in the file names but it gives me an md5 mismatch?

try naming it something simple like backup. If it still doesn'twork it could be a corrupt file, I've had it happen once.

Rooted phone, backed up efs and then flashed CM9

Hello
I rooted my phone using hardcore's speedmod kernel as shown in the CyanogenMod webpage and then inmediately backed up the /efs folder doing a tar using an Android Terminal Emulator
However, the MD5 files information don't match the files themselves
For example
The MD5 string contained in .nv_data.bak.md5 doesn't match .nv_data.bak
The same for the other files as well.
Is my /efs corrupted? My phone has never been touched before, just stock roms applied thru Kies
I have noticed a new folder has popped up in the /efs folder called "lost+found". Why did it go there?
Do yu have another suggestion to backup the /efs as well? seems doing tarballs looses UNIX/Linux permissions
Thank you.
resotre only one file and reboot

I had same problem when I install jelly bean first time on my I9000. After reading of some articles about efs folder I decided to restore only one file .nv_data.bak. And it works. I have done in following steps.
1) Backup full efs folder. (For safty purpose only)
2) Deleted both files nv_data.bin.md5 & nv_data.bin
3) Restored nv_data.bin only (No need to put back md5 file)
4) Restart the phone
Let me know if it works.
Hello
My phone works. It's just I have noticed the backup I made at the beginning just after I rooted my phone don't match. But the backup itself.
The backup files don't match their own .MD5 in the backup itself
Thanks!
Any ideas of why these files don't match?

Hello
I've also checked that once in a while, some of the files inside /efs such as nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 change their modified date.
Any idea of why this happens and why the MD5 data doesn't match?
Thank you.

[Q] Help with JOP40D Files

I did a n00b move and integrated the Music2.apk into my system files and now the 4.2.2 upgrade keeps crashing because the checksum fails. I found the files but when I try to put them back into the /system/apps directory, the date changes so the checksum keeps failing.
Is it possible to take the files from a titanium backup or something to restore. My original backup is corrupted so I can't get the file from there.
