And no you dont have to fix the md5 through ADB... u can do it just by hooking ur phone up..!!
Thanks a TON~
Turns out I also had the issue with spaces... (boot manager lite broke my rom by backing up a corrupt boot.img, and then I ran into this problem)
I made a backup of the nandroid.md5, rather than just deleting it, so I could compare and see which file was not matching, and oddly enough, the md5sums were the same, so I dove further into the thread, and lo and behold, I WAS USING SPACES IN THE FOLDER NAME!
hooray!
CWM should fix that, imo.

In my situation, I'd renamed the backup folder using CWR to something like this: "Calkulin_2.9.2._2012-03-11" All I had to do was rename the folder to "2012-03-11".
where to put the code on terminal emulator on our phone or using android sdk on windows 7 cmd? im using winndows 7 and already put android sdk...
I just type su ,(to get superuser rights)then the return key, then copy and paste the commands in the OP , leaving out the # in front of each line. But you need to change the backup name to your exact backup name, date, etc..,then return key. Then use a file explorer to make sure you have a md5 checksum file in the backup folder.

Just to elaborate on this, if folks are also seeing this same error (md5sum: not found) when they get to the last step in the guide, just repeat the process, but this time on the last step, use the command:when i follow the guide in the first post, everything goes okay untill it gets to the last step, then i get the error:
md5sum: not found
i'm running win 7 x64, do i need to put the md5sum.exe (downloaded a random version i found googlin) into a specific folder? i tried putting it into all of the android-sdk directories and still no luck... any help greatly appreciated
EDIT: nevermind, solved it by using busybox
Code:
# busybox md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

Just to let you know.. didn't work for me.. however.. when doing an advanced restore and making checksum file image by image it worked.. it took some more time - but it worked.. wife got her phone back.. my life is saved THANX A LOT!!!
THANX A LOT!!!
Wondering if moving from an internal to an external SD card would affect the backup? Rooted/Flashed TMO SGS2. Moved from internal 16GB to external 32GB card and couldn't flash the backup. MD5 mismatch. As I recall I attempted to switch back to internal and it still wouldn't work. Never changed the name, and was able to locate the backup via ClockWorkMod on the external card.
I have had issues moving backups between internal and external storage. Once you move it back to your internal sd, try this process again, and it should work.
OP instructions worked like a charm for my galaxy Note
