[Q] Can't backup ICS

[azok79]

I've been using jt's ICS rom (it's awesome, btw), for a couple of days now and have my phone set up exactly the way I want it. But when I attempt a backup with cwm4_fixed_for_cm7 I get this error:
"Error while generating md5 sum"

Need some help from greater minds than mine

If you had done a search on rootzwiki in the ics thread and discussion thread you would find that this is a known issue.


good day.

here is the fix:

Fix CWM 5.x Nandroid Backup

Let's just say you did what I did today, and did a backup, flashed another ROM, then tried to restore back to the nandroid you just made. Didn't work did it. Come to find out, I wasn't watching the backup, and it fails to generate an MD5 sum. I did a little searching to find out what to do, and I found the following steps (not my work...thanks goes to "desmail" for sharing this).

To fix this is assuming you did not change the folder names and let Clockworkmod create them.*
Code:Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
- Plug your phone to the computer
- Open a Terminal and type:
Code:adb devices
adb shell
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-06-29.20.22.53
# rm nandroid.md5 (Probably will fail - for me, the file was never there to begin with...this is fine)
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
# exit
****Make sure you change "2011-06-29.20.22.53" to the name of your backup folder*****
- Re-run the restore and everything should be fine.

You will most likely need the Nexus S ADB drivers to accomplish this.

Thanks, droidstyle. I'm getting errors when typing commands into the terminal (you do mean the command prompt, right?), but I will try again later.

you need to have adb setup with google drivers or it will not work. Go to cyanogenmod 7 website and look up adb/sdk install guide.

actually jt's v4 release has the nadroid backup issue fixed so I would just flash that...its alot better than v3 imo anyway. I believe its post#875 on pg88, not in the op.
