Root [GUIDE] Fixing MD5 Mismatch Without Computer when Restoring

[SwoRNLeaDejZ]

OK, tried to restore a backup this morning and got the dreaded Md5 Mismatch.. Oh no, I have no access to a computer.. So i messed around in Terminal Emulator, and figured out how to fix it. Steps below.

First open Terminal Emulator, and enter

 adb shell

Next Switch to the directory where your backup is. Because of the screwed up sdcard setup, it will be one of the following:

For internal storage:

cd storage/sdcard0/clockworkmod/backup/(folder of backup here)

For external storage:

cd storage/sdcard1/clockworkmod/backup/(folder of backup here)

For example, mine was:

cd storage/sdcard1/clockworkmod/backup/1970-09-23.18.02.58

Once in that directory, enter the following:

rm nandroid.md5

Next enter this:

md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

Now re-enter recovery, and try to restore your backup, should work the first time

Thanks for reading

or just erase the contents of the md5 file and save as an empty file. and it will skip md5 check.

I tried that, because I saw that fix first and it still gave me an md5 mismatch

works for me

umm you tried that on stock????

Do believe paths are different.

I'm not on stock

Clearing the md5 made it say the same thing, md5 mismatch.

The method in my op worked perfectly

yea that was my, the path for internal/external storage is different between stock & CM10

What you have is the path in CM10, on stock its:

/mnt/sdcard & /mnt/sdcard/external_sd iircc.
