[mode7456]

Its easier t if u Followed the following method. It doesn't require any advanced knowledge.

1- Open your corrupted Nandroid Backup or the nandroid backup you just what to skip the MD5 checksum while restoring it.
2- Under your Nandroid Backup look for Nandroid.md5 file.
3- Open the Nandroid.MD5 file with any text editor.
4- Delete everything in the nandroid.md5 file.
5- Save your changes to the files.
6- Now go back to recovery and restore your Backup.
7- Done.

BTW THIS IS NOT MY FINDING, I CAN'T POSTS LINKS AS IM A NEW USE. I GOT THIS FROM ;

androidforums .com /galaxy-s2-boost-mobile-all-things-root/720978-how-remove-md5-checksum-nandroid-backup.html

This worked for me like a charm!
What i did was, i just deleted that nandroid.md5 and then created a new file with that name, so yea basically the same thing.

I had a md5 mismatch and was freaking out. Turned out that the folder name for my backup couldn't have spaces in it...

Holy S**** was I freaking out.


Had a LG optimus G E971. Flashed to AOSP and because these crappy devices don't have an SD card, everything is emulated.

AOSP wifi radio = dead.

USB connection, can't put zip's into the root

Nandroid backup failed on MD5.... WTF. Crying in the corner.

Found your post about spaces; removed the spaces and restore works fine.

Thanks. Thanks. Thanks
