Topic: Nandroid Backup: MD5 ok in Nandroid Manager, but Clockworkmod 6 gives: MD5 fail

[devnullius]

[solved]

Problem: i created a backup with Nandroid Manager* AND THIS TIME I MADE SURE all MD5's were correct (I learned that the hard way before ;p).

When I wanted to restore my sytem, with ClockworkMod in Recovery mode, I got:
couldn't open directory.
No files found.
MD5 failed! Bad checksum.

After great support from Ameer Dawood, I finally solved it myself, after Ameer asked me to check the MD5's with a Windows tool.

One thing let to another... (https://startpage.com/do/search?query=clockworkmod+restore+couldn't+open+directory+no+files+found+md5+mismatch&cat=web&pl=chrome&language=english)

I found this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675120 (which credits this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606047)

Problem: DO NOT USE SPACES IN BACKUP NAME :P

Mount phone to PC. Rename clockworkmod/backup/YOUR LONG NAME to clockworkmod/backup/shortname

Start Terminal IDE (or another shell)

su
cd /mnt/extSdCard/clock*
cd backup
cd shortname
rm na*md5
md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

Reboot into recovery,
restore your phone :)
