Root MD5 mismatch

[Bull Shark]

This is the error I get when trying to run my CWM backup of CM7 reloaded. My cm7 tickerguy final backup works fine. Any one have any ideas?

Did you rename it? If you did you can't have any spaces in the name or it will give you a MD5 mismatch.

I have spaces in all of my backup names and never have this problem

No, I didn't rename it.

Every time I have had a space in the file name of a nandroid backup it spits out a MD5 mismatch. Marc is correct. This has happened to many people and has usually been the issue.

No, I didn't rename it.

Then it is possible that the file is corrupt. MD5 is used to check data integrity. If the information has changed somehow (through corruption, some name changes, adding/deleting things from the file, etc) it will come back as a mismatch. MD5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

mmmark, thanks, but I have no freakin clue how to do what they said. The weird thing is, I did another backup of reloaded today, restored my ics to show a friend, and then when I went to run the backup from today, same thing, md5 mismatch. so I have to restore my regular cm7, then upgrade back to reloaded.

I've been getting this error message too. I switch between the cm7 and the stock for HDMI purposes. I just did a backup of the cm7...hope this time I have no issues restoring. Btw I cant believe the difference between stock and cm7. So grateful for this forum.
