backup and name changes, md5 mismatch

[vluc]

Maybe it was just me, but when I decided to try my first theme today, I did a nanroid backup first, rebooted the system, went into root explorer and changed the name.

Successfully flashed the theme, found I did not like it, and decided to run that backup I just renamed. When i ran it, got an md5 mismatch. Fortunately I had another earlier one that I had not renamed and successfully ran it.

So, does changing the name after running a backup change the md5 matching?

Yea, I seem to recall it having some sort of issue like that.

I have renamed backups in Rom Manager though (through the manage backups thing) and they restored fine. Maybe it does something special when renaming.

try this
adb shell
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/[nandroid name]
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

I had this problem too after renaming. I got around it by removing spaces and dots "." from the new file name. Don't know if that is the problem your having, but it seems that whenever you use a space or dot in the new name, you get the md5 mismatch error......I haven't had any more md5 mismatches since figuring this out
