For anyone who has had the Clockwork-mod Recovery MD5 mismatch! error.
Another way: for Example TWRP Cache.ext4.win
most recoverys now have a option to turn off MD5 checking
You can copy your backup folder to your computer, use attached app to check the md5 number , edit md5 file and check and verify and change
this thread is old so md5 file may not be named the same. the picture is TWRP custom recovery
example was with cache.ext4.win that has md5 file named cache.ext4.win.md5
another short cut to try

@aeneas1 Thanks!!
i did another google search and found a very simple fix, at least it worked for me, on the first try, and i have tested it successfully with some of my other backups that were also getting the mismatch error.
1. using your phone, navigate to your backup folder using a root browser, i use romm tool box root browser.
2. locate and delete the nandroid.md5 file
3. create a new file and name it nandroid.md5
4. boot into recovery, select restore your backup, and watch the magic begin!

Update: thanks @Exca
If you have androids SDK ( ADB installed) try this easer method by Exca
This is a much easier way:
adb shell
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010-06-29.20.22.53
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
usually does the trick
DO NOT renamed your backup with spaces Thanks ltredbeard and those who verified

This is what I did to fix mine and get my backup working again after getting MD5 mismatch! error
I was trying to restore my backup after trying another Rom.
