It isnt fully compatible. Use the cwm that is in chanfires root thread in dev.

MD5 = file signature does not match probable corruption or different file .

It`s another way to make a restore if I did a backup with CWM?
What did you backup ???
On what phone and what app to backup .
What CWM recovery are you using .
or are you trying to restore a backup from a different phone ??
Post is rather confusing .

MD5 is a way to control a TAR file.
It will missmath as well if you try to access the file via 7-Zip for instance.
Try to find same file elseware from the web, or excrtact end rebuild a direct tar file.
Good luck
I don't like CWM4 on CF-root
The reason i don't like it is: It makes the recovery disappear after about a day of use, Then i have to reflash, i don't want to do that.
CWM removes it's self for me
The thing i don't like about CF-Root, is and this may be my fault, It freezes some of my rooted apps that freeze bloatware (Easy Freezy) and it also removes the custom recovery by it's self
When i go into the app and click reboot recovery, it boot into Android system recovery.
I then have to reflash in order to get ClockworkMod back.
This other Root meathord: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Does NOT freeze some rooted apps like Easy Freezy and Adfree like CF root does for some reason.
Help would be appreciated,
Thanks.

Is anybody else unable to back up ROM successfully on Omega v13?
I thout I'd backed up my beloved ROM and settings last night before full wipe testing the latest JB Odin ROM. That ROM was not good with regards to wifi intermittently toggling on and off so restore the previous ROM time thought I.
Wrong!
The CWM file wouldn't restore and when I looked at the files the Backup file was 16.8mb bit the Blob files were over a gig. There was no md5sum.
The situation then got worse as my phone entered a black screen bootloop for a while and wouldn't connect to the pc to flash an old backup ROM.
3 hrs of sweating and various wipes, odin flashes, downloads and not much sleep later and I'm back on Omega v13 again (minus all of my SD card files). But, I've just tried to back up my current ROM and still the same problem.
ROM manager is 6.0.1.2 if that helps.

Thanks for the reply but how do I backup my ROM without using ROM manager? Also why is the function not working anymore as it's been fine for 23 different ROMs?
Do cf root and ROM Manager conflict with each other?

Alright cheers gents.
Have duly uninstalled ROM Manager and will stick with CWM.
I think the problem was that the way a backup is now saved has changed - previously each dated backup file would be circa 1.8 gb in size but now when you back up it doesnt duplicate all of the files, instead it has a file hub in the BLOBS folder and just captures an image of the remaining files and md5sum.
It will save a lot of space this way at least...
As for CF Root however it wont let me do a NAND backup as it loses connection to the device as soon as it starts...?
Maybe because Omega v13 doesnt meet the criteria of insecure kernal??
I dunno.

update, i was running neatrom lite v 3.xx before, so i tried an experiment, i installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569686 neatRom Lite v4
this installed ok, when "android updating" , after the initial install, i noticed that it was updating 156 apps ( the amount of apps i had originally)
however when you start you can only see 34 apps, which i guess must be the stock amount of apps with this rom
still cant restore anything , still can see that backup i did this morning, still get the same error message when i try and do any kind of restore ie MD5 mismatch"
is there anyway i can recover:
my contacts, those apps, my messages,
ie just the data and, have the apps ( that were just updated, but not visible) available?
thanks !

Just flash the same kernel you used to to make the backup, then restore your backup with that.
Btw, You didnt have a "soft brick" there is no such thing. Its a made up phrase by n00bs when they dont know what they have done and cant get system to boot so need to label it in some way. A device is either "bricked" or it isnt.

Yes i take your point about the "soft brick" , same as "she is a little bit pregnant" i guess
Linkhunter sent me a link to re-create my md5 , it's an EXE program, so needs to be run under Windows, im just just not sure how im supposed to get it to make a new md5 for my back up
can anyone give step by step instructions i can follow
re "Just flash the same kernel you used to to make the backup, then restore your backup with that.", are you saying because i made the backup with kernal A ( ICS), then tried to migrate to kernal B" ( Jellyban) , that it was the migration mis-match that is causing it not to restore,. Why i ask, is because i made another backup for some reason last September, and i tried to restore that one and it looked as if it would restore, i didnt get the (using ROM Manage Pro) message saying,." this doesnt appear to a valid backup, md5 is missing" .i stopped at that point, i still would rather get my latest backup (the data and apps restored) if possible

BTW there is a way to recalc md5sum via terminal emulator, just google it and you'll be able to restore. Happened to me too and solved this way
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda app-developers app
If you ever run into an md5 mismatch error when trying to restore a backup, you could try the following ^^
Using Terminal Emulator: (mind spaces)
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/backup-name-goes-here
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
Do usual wipes then restore the full nandroid ^^
NB, if it works (it has for me in past) it'll prob only work once for a particular nandroid...
so, after (if...) it works - just del old nandroid & make a new one

and secondly i downloaded the Update kit 6.0 .. for rooting but there is no option given for 4.1.2! So please help me
Rooting is like gaining administrator rights on your phone. Custom ROMs are modified OS images. And yes, unlike iDevices, you can revert back to any firmware you want. It's not risky if you know what you're doing. Rooting can help you backup your ROM, overclock your phone, restore from an old backup, and can help you modify almost everything in your phone. It's really not that hard.

Hello,
I recently flashed my phone back to stock after running a custom rom, before i flashed the custom rom i did take a nandroid of the stock rom, today i tried to restore my nandroid which i saved on my computer, CMW tells me "Couldn`t open directory. No files found." I`ve tried to put the folder in /mnt/extsdcard/clockworkmod/backup, with no luck
Can someone please help me and tell me whats wrong or what can fix it
Thanks for any help
Are you copying the exact same files? Which cwm are you using? What backup method do you use? (Tar/blob)
If you've backed up with blobs abs since then flashed later cwm's (which now use tar as default) it may not find that back up.

I am experiencing a similar situation. I understand I need to roo again the phone using the exact same CWM version I did my bkp with.

Hey guys i just recently rooted my phone
Before doing so i made a back up on ClockWorkMod 5.5.0.4 however when i try to restore it, it says no files found?
I haven't changed any of the file names/moved the files and i can see the files still on my internal SD card e.g. Sdcard/0/Clockworkmod/backup
I have even updated my CWM to version 6.0.3.1 yet still does not find the files
Anyone can help?
Thank you
I'm not familiar with original cwm. When you flash 4.2 roms, /sdcard becomes /sdcard/0
I know in philz recovery based on cwm, you can change this location but cwm no idea

No problem
Your phone will go back to how it was when you made the backup.
The recovery / modem wont be touched so you'll still have CWM.
Sorry i forgot to mention that then is when i made the backup file..while i had the stock rom
Also im guessing if you use the recovery..it does NOT un-root your phone?
If the stock ROM was rooted when you backed it up, you phone will remain rooted if you restore that backup.
Thanks guys for all your help really do appreciate it

I just did a downgrade to stock 4.1.1 using Odin (which flashed it back to stock recovery), but before I downgraded (I was on 4.2), I did a nandroid backup in CWM.
After the downgrade to 4.1.1, I reflashed recovery with the newest version of CWM using the unified toolkit and tried to recover the nandroid backup, but it said no file found. The backup was already on my external sdcard, so then I tried moving it to another folder as mentioned in this thread, but that didn't work either. I didn't have that exact directory as it was posted, but I didn't think that would matter, so long as it was copied over from external to internal or vice versa.
