I see this everywhere, but what exactly is it and what does it mean? I rooted, flash cm7 rc2, flash back to stock Rom then re-flashed AR 4.0 b3.1 all without checking md5... Any negative effects to that? Also I am running stock kernel and whatever radio was pushed to my phone during the one click rooting process...

It's basically a file fringerprint. Verifies file intergrity.

Open up astro on the phone, navigate to where your file is. Click and hold, press details, and give it a minute, you'll see the checksum.

Whichever file you download. If you downloaded the ROM, and want to check the ROM's MD5, open astro, long press the ROM, and check MD5.
If it's a radio you want to check, long press the radio file in Astro and check MD5
I actually didn't know Astro would do this. I found a free program for my computer that will check MD5 sums. Put the file on the SD, tell the program where the file is, it gives me an MD5

Use root explorer to copy/replace recovery.bin put update.zip on root of sd card, reboot into recovery.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
This is what I did and worked perfectly. But I allready had KD1 which I recomend you get. Download the recovery and update.zip and put both of them on the root of your sd card. Then get root explorer from the market. Open root explorer and go down to sdcard. In the sd card you are gonna find the recovery file you placed in there. Your long press it and its gomma say copy. Copy that and press back button and then your at the main page of root explorer again. Its gonna say paste and cancle at.the bottom but dont press anything yet. You go all the way down to system and go into it and then into /bin. In /bin your gonna press the mount r~w button at the top right which allows you to paste the file. You press paste at bottom left and its gonna ask if you want to overwrite say yes.(if it didnt ask you overwrite that either means the file you downloaded was renamed.or there was a (2) or (3) on it if you downloaded various times. Just take the ending out so its.just.recovery)
Now back out to homescreen of your phone.and if you have kd1 you can get into recovery from quickboot if not then turn off your phone and hold powerbutton and both volume keys while the phones turning on normally it will go to a bluish screen with an android.(recovery) here you click reinstall packages and your done

issue solved by formatting the SDcard
so I formatted mt sdcard and the managed to get into CWM.
I hava another question:
now every time I want to go into CWM I should do the same procedure?
I mean put the update.zip in the root of the sdcard->go to recovery->reinstall apps?

That's what I do leaving the update there... btw its root toolbox helps geting into recovery without the three button push also with getting rid of bloat

Now that I have cwm I want to replace the kernel.
I want to take Bali v2.1 extended battery from whisky -
my questions are:
1) which kernel should I take:regular\UV(what's the difference anyway)
2) what about all my apps+data/contacts/sms...? will it erase them?what backup should I do?
After searching on this forum for a few hours, I am still unable to figure out what is wrong with my phone.
On my Galaxy S 4G, I have rooted it, and then I proceeded to the flashing guide here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122508
But after I install CWM, I am unable to install a custom ROM. I am able to get to the Red CWM, but when I try to backup my current ROM, or install from SD card, it says that it cannot mount E:/blah blah blah
How should I fix this error?
I tried going to Mounts and Storage in CWM, and the sdcard is "mount".
I am really confused, so if anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it
That blah blah blah its actually important. What can't mount? If sd is mounted, then it should say "unmount"...

"CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v3.0.2.8x

E:Can't mount /sdcard/BlackIce_Voodoo.zip

Now, when I tried to use the Backup function, it tells me
"Can't mount /sdcard"
I went to Mounts and Storage menu, and selected the "-mount /sdcard" and it gave me "Error mounting /sdcard!"
Is there any more information you need to help me?
in CWM are your mounts Unmounted mounted mounted unmounted in that order?
What firmware is currently on there? the tmobile GB kj6 or the original Froyo?

Right now, my CWM mounts are as listed:
-Unmount /cache
-mount /data
-mount /sdcard
-unmount /system
So yes, it is in that order. I read something about
Code:
A) For KD1 and Bionix Frost your mounts must appear like this:
/cache : unmount
/data : mount
/sdcard : mount
/system : unmount
B) For Trigger your mounts must appear like this:
/cache : unmount
/data : unmount
/sdcard : mount
/system : unmount
I got this on Ebay and I had no clue what the seller did to it, but I think it's the original Froyo.
Firmware: 2.2.1
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FROYO.VUVKD1
So you are on 2.2. I would back up the sd card. Then format it by plugging it directly into the computer, formatting. then putting it back into the phone boot into cwm. Formatting it again. Placing the files you want on the root. Trying again. let me know

Oh, after I got CWM working, I went into the Rommanager app, and flashed from SD card, and I chose BlackIce_Voodoo.rar and it got stuck on the "Galaxy S exclusively for T-mobile" screen. I understand that after flashing a rom, it takes around 10 mins on that screen, but I have waited overnight, and it still has not booted. Now, I can't even boot into CWM anymore. How should I handle this situation? The whole phone is bricked, and CWM is not accessible anymore.
I also tried turning it off, holding volume up & down, and plugging the wire in to enter download mode, but it failed to do that. So I guess I can't use odin either.
Please, Don't use ROM Manager on this phone.
I'm not sure how to solve this if it can boot to the splashscreen but not get to download mode.

Thanks, I didn't know that from before Since I already did it, how can I "undo" the effects of Rom Manager? I already put the new Update.zip into the root of my SD card. But I am unable to reinstall packages using CWM because I can't access it .
Try using plugging it in and look at Odin again. I heard it can recognize devices sometimes even if the screen is blank.
Edit: If you get your phone up and running again, use the Gingerbread Starter Pack guide to flash a GB ROM without any problems.

Try downloading the Android SDK, install it, when you run it the first time, only download the platfoem tools. Once that's installed, open a command prompt, CD to where the platform-tools directory is located.(prob C:\Program Files\Android\Android-sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\Android-sdk\platform-tools) and type:
Adb reboot download
Or
Adb reboot recovery
For download mode & recovery mode, respectively.

AH! Well, you don't flash the rar file!
You unzip it and flash it's contents
Some rom modders use rar, others use 7zip (because they usually have limited space to store their mods, compress it good!)
I dislike Odin, as it is proprietary and has no support and few updates.
I prefer Heimdall, as it is free, has support, and updates often.
Hope that helps.

Your UNrar program... Guessing winrar, unrar'd the rar file and contained a zip file, that you thought was a folder.

I like to start this off by saying i had nothing to do with this build the great dev team at clockworkmod did a great job at putting this together, im only the messager !!!
This a clockworkmod recovery that is by TOUCH!!
First go get flash image GUI from the market (plus its easier) or you can use whatever you like
https://market.android.com/details?...wxLDEsImNvbS5qb2V5a3JpbS5mbGFzaGltYWdlZ3VpIl0.
then download the 5.8.0.1
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.1-supersonic.img
go to your flash image and click recovery image in the app then browse and find where ever you downloaded the 5.8.0.1 recovery and then click flash image and there you go just hit reboot to recovery and check out your new touch recovery
plus i was able to zip it to flash on hboot download link at the bottom
maybe qbking77 will do a review who knows
Plus dont forget to thank me if you like this
and to show love for clockworkmod for putting this together on their facebook
http://facebook.com/ClockworkMod
thanks to joeykrim for the flash image gui app
Is there a reason i should install "Flash IMG GUI" before flashing this?Or can i just manually do it through Hboot?
I noticed its an IMG,so it can be put into a flashable zip.
This must not have been released for "Rom Manager" yet?

you do it either way you want but flash image was the easiest for me plus i dont know of other ways to flash a image file since i have always used flash image gui but you can try at your own risk!
For those of us that are broke,lol.Most of us knew this,but just in case.
If you only have the .img file, you can make your own update.zip file. For example, if you have a recovery image file, it needs to be named recovery.img. Then, put it in a ZIP file without compression. Name the file PC36IMG.ZIP, and you're all set.
Thanks for the heads up Myerk2008.
If thats your app,i appologize,buy this guys app if its his,lol.Support the dev.

I failed using Odin to unroot my samsung infuse. My phone now cannot be turned on. When I press the Up+Down Volume and Power Button the phone gives a quick white flash then goes black. It just would not turn on.
I've also tried pulling out the battery and press the Up+Down Volume and Power Button again. Still nothing.
Is my phone completely done for or is there still something to be done? Can anyone help me? T_T
Remember you can't press the power button to enter download mode, just vol+ & vol- and plug in the usb. I suspect you are not able to enter download mode anyways..
You may try using the one-click-unbrick (google it) and see if it by any chance helps you.

Don't jump the gun...there's been cases where I was able to use heimdal even though my screen displayed nothing...
And have you tried a USB jig?
Personally I think its still saveable...unless it was a failed bootloader flash its pretty much impossible to hardbrick the infuse with Odin...and most odins don't include bootloaders...

hi there...
i dont know what is wrong with my phone.i can only manage it to get in downloading mode,i does not even start up. i tried using odin, it detected the phone for first time but process was struck at 'factory rs' for two hours!
then i removed it nd tried again but next time onward odin failed to detect it. after this failure i tried using heimdall but wen i tried to put the 'firmware' file in firmware place, it gives the error 'header contains invalid file size' after decompressing process is done.
-i can get the phone in download mode only
-phone does not start
-odin can not detect it
- even tried 'soft unbrick', phone was not detected.
ther is no problem with phone drivers
please help me!!!

What exactly do you mean by "put the firmware file in firmware place"? You just have to right-click on the .JAR file and open with Java. Once the Heimdall screen pops up, there's nothing else to be done, aside from clicking "Flash".

Really does sound like you are in Heimdall front end. Follow what ApexPredatorBoids said and just double click on the jar file. Next screen you should be able to click the long flash bar.

@ApexPredatorBoids thanks. as you told me to open stock jar file with java i tried to open with java a black command window popped up and then disappeared ...after thet nothing happened... what am i supposed to do now?
No, latest version of Java needs to be installed on your PC. Then just double cluck jar file. It is an executable file.

i installed the latest version of java then tried double clicking the jar file after associating jar file with java...
got following error.
and when i tried open with java got the same result.... black command window then it disappeared!
Did you extract the files to a folder on you PC? Or are you trying to double click from inside the zip file on your phone? Looks like menu bar says removable drive H:

3. as i was told,i downloaded the latest java setup and installed it.
4. then i tried to open stock .jar file with java ...

Extract the files from the pen drive to a folder on your desktop. Then double click the jar file with the phone connected to USB (preferably NOT the USB ports in the front of the PC.

you mean both heimdall zip file and stock .jar file??!
I believe the Stock...jar should be part of the Heimdall package that you downloaded. Extract all of it to a folder on your desktop.
Edit. Stock. ..jar is only file needed. D/L to desktop and double click it and wait for it to open.
