Hi,

I know many of us have ran into the problem of MD5 Mismatch while trying to restore a backup (this how to will help you as well) . Or do you just want to speed things up while restoring a backup?. This will skip the MD5 checksum while restoring a backup.

Steps

1- Open your corrupted Nandroid Backup or the nandroid backup you just what to skip the MD5 checksum while restoring it.
2- Under your Nandroid Backup look for Nandroid.md5 file.
3- Open the Nandroid.MD5 file with any text editor. I use ES Note Editor (if doing it from my Device), or Notepad ++ (if doing it from my PC).
Or skip step 3- and 4- and Just remove the nandroid.md5 file and create an empty file named the same you just deleted.

4- Delete everything under nandroid.md5 file.
5- Save your changes to the files.
6- Now go back to recovery and restore your Backup.
7- Done.

Note:
Removing the MD5 checksum on a truly corrupt backup can be hazardous to your device.I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE. Do it @ your own risk.
