Hi guys. I've flashed several ROM's to my sensation now. All have installed fine with hardly any problems, as I follow the instructions provided. I'm fairly new to android... so what is MD5...how do i check it? and when should i be checking it?
I read that i should use it to check the integrity of a file... but which file, when and how xP
Thanks in advance!
It verifies that the file isn't corrupt. You can use software designed for md5 on the computer or from the phone itself.
You type the md5 numbers and letters into the app, then choose the file to verify it with. I use mand5 on my phone for instance.

There's no need to be a complete douche.... I already googled MD5 , but there's not much explaining how and when to use it... Just says what it is. I think you need to find something better to do with your life than being sat at a computer all day making pointless comments on a forum designed to help people...
Thank you to stonew , big help

It refeers to the integrity of the rom installation file, so u make sure the rom file being installed isn't corrupted.
Only this.
as you know you can brick your mobile if anything goes wrong in flashing things to your mobile,,,,,
so for the best result and to be sure that you have downloaded a good file as the developer want it to be,,,,
you have to check the MD5

Hi unfortunately I'm on a mac and have been unable to use odin for obvious reasons. I came across a program called Heimdall, which you all know of. Well the program recently has been updated to 1.3.0 and in turn has introduced Heimdall Firmware Package format. See here: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/2011/devblogs/heimdall-suite-1-3-0-and-anti-squish-graphical-update/
My issue is whenever I go to load a package file, I've tried to use odin roms, it look like its about to work and then after it loads up you get a error saying "Firmware.xml Is Missing From The Package" obviously this package was not made to be used with Heimdall 1.3.0.
So can somebody here create a proper firmware.xml file and place it inside the rom package? I would but it's a bit too complicated for me to understand. Maybe a developer with the right knowledge be able to do this.
Thank you so much people
Not having a windows computer at my disposal really keeps me behind on all these updates lol
Run vmware and try odin

If you can find a good, working heimdall package I can take a look at the firmware.xml file and figure out how it works for you.

The Heimdall Firmware Package format (and subsequently firmware.xml) is detailed in Heimdall's README. Refer to the Appendices.

The README contains instructions that explain how to build a Heimdall Firmware Package. You just need to fill out the "Flash" tab as if you were performing a custom flash (see the README). Then instead of pressing the "Start" button go to the "Create Package" tab and fill out the details there.
If you're not sure how the partitions and file names match you can go to the Utilities tab and run the "Print Pit" action. This will output the PIT information in a human readable format so that you can match partition names to their "default" filename. I say "default", because unlike Odin, Heimdall places no restriction on what filenames can be used.

Hi, guys. I'm a simple guy. I just want to update my phone.
As you can imagine, I want to click on something and hit next a few times and wait patiently while a progress bar tires to lower my anxiety level.
So far I have installed Odin on my windows virtual machine with no luck and now this Heimdall program so kindly made by the open source comunity.
I have not the brains, time, aptitude or inclination to read a README file nor the IQ to create an XML file, however well explained the tutorial might be.
Any chance anybody can help me hit "next" a few times and get my phone to upgrade without having to learn, understand or figureout anything?
I have a Galaxy Note (the old one)
Much obliged.
Oh jeeze...
Let me save you some pain. I won't comment on the "I don't have the time..." statement and, with luck, nobody else here will either.
You should post in the Galaxy Note forums -- they are probably in much better position to save you from your rush.
Before you do leave, you might want to read the "Before you flash anything..." sticky.
never mind

Anyone able to help with Root ? I picked up a link in a HTC thread on Whirlpool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1192300
got as far as S Off (Security Off), Updated Clockwork Recovery mod- v4.0.1.4, Now I am stuck on To permanently root your Sensation part 3. When trying to update: When I go to flash clock work/Revolutionary it says: (bad) Can't open Install aborted, though that said some users are having this error and the root is still successful according to XDA however for me I got Root check off the Market and it returns a failed result on Basic and some times a pass on Advanced but some times not. Busybox,Super user,Titanium back up are all saying I'm not rooted to don't have Root permissions.
Have a look at the link below it contains 4 photos of my sensations screen as I went through the process it will no doubt give you a better idea of my problem. It's a link to my blog BTW. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a member of XDA so thought I would try my luck here before having to create yet another account somewhere Thank You.
Best look at the photos from bottom to top as they uploaded back to front, order of process is bottom to top.

So did you download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...8&d=1311991644 file and flashed it via recovery?
I have S-OFF and I flashed that file I have full root. I then used ROM Manager to flash clockworkmod (CWM) because ROM Manager doesn't see the recovery that came with the S-OFF.
I just backed up my Telstra ROM. It just finished a minute ago.
Yes I did flash that via Recovery inc. the old su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip AND the new su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip.version I've tried the other couple of suggested methods on that link I posted and nothing seems to be working. Sadly can't see were I have gone wrong.
Here is a link to another two photos with the error message I am getting.

Did you install ROM Manager? I installed ROM Manager and used that to flash CWM and all is working fine here.
EDIT:
My bad. You did say you can't get full root. Don't really know why it won't work for you. Mine worked first go.

Yeah I have Rom manager but I can't do anything with it everything returns an error.

Sounds like you were one of the lucky ones cause if you read the comments after the steps many people are have minor issues. I'm ashamed to say I've being at it all day VERY FRUSTRATING !!!
Yes I put the ZIP file into 'The Root' of the SD card (Main section of SD Card) and yes in recovery I can see that zip file but when I click open it says:
Can't open /sdcrd/su2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I've tried over 30 times same thing every single time. HEADACHES !!! lol
Sooo looking forward to a solution. I might have to creat a XDA account and post it in the questions section there, looks as though questions are getting answered pretty quick (Good support) ...WITH ALL THAT SAID IF ANYONE HERE CAN HELP I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL.
Phenomenal MATT writes...

You've probably already tried this, but if not, have you downloaded the su zip again? could it be corrupt?
EDIT: I am really new to Android. Got my phone the day it came to Telstra. You are probably better off on the XDA forums.
Phenomenal MATT
I signed up for XDA but they expect you to make 10 posts elsewhere on their forum before allowing you to comment on the Sensation Dev. one (The comments under the instructions in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1192300
Yeah I downloaded it on PC, Mac, Mac with Boot camp, Zipped, un Zipped and even tried the old Zip file it says to try in trouble shouting section then followed buy the new Zip file.
Awwwww Well Patients a vertue ... Hopefully it's all worth it.
Seems like the guy already gave you your answer. Just download the zip again. You probably have a corrupted download. And make sure that signature verification is off in recovery. Should work.
I've downloaded over 30 times on 3 different computers + straight to Sensation as a hard Disk tried Zipped, unzipped you name it... PC - Mac Normal sd card, Micro SD card... & Also like to add Sign. verify is off too tried it on and off, I a award the file needs to be zipped and that needs to be off just trying everything here pulling my hair out.
Do You go CWM > Advance . backup ur Rom ?
I'm using rev. And I go to backup and restore click on back up after its complete 10 minutes later I go and try to get the zipped file but it fails every time.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710a using XDA App
Finally got it to work. I had to download it from the net with my phone to download folder as opposed to with a pc then moving it to main root folder on SD card. Question is now what ? I want to over clock but I want to keep sense. Do all Roms remove sense ? Leedroid ? What else is recommended now I'm rooted. Btw thanks again everyone for your help.

Thanks for posting this, Phenomenal Matt. I had the EXACT same problem that you posted about. Copying the su zip file to my phone's sdcard while the phone was mounted as a drive did not work at all. I had to download the su zip file on my phone before Clockwork Recovery was able to successfully install it and give me root.
hey
I recently created an application called Android Recovery Manager
The version on the other thread is V1.0.
My sensation has been stolen, so for the moment I can't test future updates for the application, and I don't wanna give up on developing it...
I had plans for the next releases, and it really took me lots of efforts to finish it, so I'd like to know if anybody is interested in testing?
The update is ready for testing anyway
Tell me what you think
Thanks!
I am assuming from the name of the app you must be rooted and more than likely have Clockwork Mod Recovery on your device as well correct?

Not at all, you only need S-Off
The application manages your recoveries, it can flash any recovery you want.
You can either install a recovery image from your computer locally, or let the program download a recovery for you from the always up-to-date list of recoveries.
You can check the other post for screenshots and more info
Anybody?

I don't mind testing it out for you.

So here is the download link.
Please extract the "RecoveryManager.exe" before using it as there will be files generated next to it.
So, I'll need you to install any recovery (Stock or Custom) and send me the log file when it has finished (You'll find an XML file in the Log folder in the same place as the application)
I hope I'm not asking a lot
Thanks
The application has been downloaded 2 times, can anybody tell me the results please?
test version
Downloaded two recovery files for the XE and flashed the CWM 5020 again on my device.
Rebooted into OS, no problems sofar.
The programm is selfexplaining and you can stop before flashing and think things over.
When I restart the programm and want to search for an recovery file on my HDD its going to the last folder I was using before,
thats OK

Hi All,
I have successfully rooted my HTC Incredible S and then, I have installed a custom ROM "Galnet MIUI-Icecream Sandwich ROM-Build:2.11.26" using the ROM Manager App available in the Android Market.
Everything went on well... the back up, clearing the cache etc. are all completed successfully and my mobile rebooted. There was a new screen with a flash image showing MI (in orange letters) with xiaomi.com just below it. I waited for almost 30 minutes but the screen is just showing the same flash image playing some nice notification sound.
Now Should I be worried? Is it a part of the process or is my mobile Bricked ?
Please help...
Have you tried flashing a new ROM in the custom recovery or restoring your back-up? Doesn't sound bricked to me...
DistrictDigital said:

But I am wanting to install some latest and stable custom ROM compatible with HTC Incredile S.
Any suggestions please....
You must ALWAYS check the md5 sum of all of your ROM's. This could have been a very bad thing for your phone and your wallet. Any ROM in your phone's specific Android Development section is almost guaranteed to work. Just re-download your MIUI ROM and enjoy.

I understood the later part but regarding the first part in which you said 'You must ALWAYS check the md5 sum of all of your ROM's".....can you please help me understand that.
An MD5 is a long number that will usually be shown next to your ROM download. This number is unique to that particular file.
If something happens during your download that corrupts the ROM file (breaks it), then the MD5 number will be different when you check it. This warns you the file you have got on your computer is different to the original.
There's a good description of how to check and use MD5 on the OpenOffice website - try Googling the words: openoffice md5.
An MD5 is called a 'checksum', there are other ways of working out checksums that you also might see, like CRC or SHA-256. All have benefits and downsides.
In short, checking the MD5 makes sure you aren't flashing a 'bad' copy of the file, which might break your phone.
Hope that helps

I have an N8013 and I have been trying to go to 4.3 for a while. Like illusion rom... i've tried cwm a few versions even the latest, twrp, and even philz recovery as recommended and I even deleted the updater scripts as recommended. I for the life of me can not get past the zip file failing to flash. I've downloaded the rom multiple times, used odin to go back to completely stock, factory reset.... just about everything. There is one other dude tellin me to do this....
"I have a N8013, and deleting the assert and getprops works for me 100% of the time. However, it is important to note, two things. One you have to have the N8013 version of the ROM, which is labeled N80xx, and 2, when you go to install it after you have modified the file, you will get a validation error because the zip file will no longer match the MD5 validation, you have to install anyways. Other than that it works fine on my N8013, using CWM 6.0.3.1, running official CM 10.2."
But I dont know exactly what file he is talkin about. If ANYONE can help me out with this id be forever grateful.
First thing first. I'm guessing from what you don't understand is the MD5 validation.
So let me try to explain it. Doing an MD5 check, is basically checking the fingerprint of a file to the fingerprint posted. You get an MD5 sum by running it though a MD5 hashing program. Someone that knows the terms better then me will probably jump in and correct my terminology. But the best way of saying it is that by comparing MD5 sums, you are able to see if a file is unaltered.
Second, you'll want to make sure the file you download is compete and uncorrupted. So you run it though the hasher, and get the MD5 sum to check it against the posted numbers.
For "Illusion-v2.5.alpha-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.z" the MD5 Sum is: 95eb24cadc1a7721934a508e3ce97212
For "Illusion-v2.5.alpha-UNOFFICIAL-n8000.zip" the MD5 Sum is: 7789f71ca54647b43c352837702795a3
Now as for a hashing program, if you are on Windows, I would suggest a program called HashTab. http://implbits.com/
It puts the hashing into a tab so you can just right click the file, click Properties, and then "File Hashes"
So for the next thing that you need to do to make sure everything is good, is to check the MD5 sum of the file you download (unmodified) and make sure it is a good download. If all of that is good, then something else is going off.
I will note that right now I'm running the n8000 version on my n8013. Yes there are reasons I do that, even though the GSM hardware isn't in place. But using the n8000 version makes use of VoIP phones much easier.

Wow, thank you sir. No one has ever explained it to me like you did. I honestly appreciate it. I have a PC running windows 7 and I also have an iMac for my music. Not saying I completely understand how to do what your telling me but it puts in to a much greater perspective and for that, thank you. I know something is going wrong. This isn't my first rodeo but I definitely don't know how to change stuff around or dissect it yet. I started rooting and modifying about a year ago. Im a tech so in interests me. But I don't all that much time to dissect yet or understand what your saying exactly. I guess I just need a good download. Maybe I'll try the N8000 version instead. I don't care about the GPS and I use VOIP a lot more than I would GPS. I'll try that I guess. But thank you for the great response and for taking a moment to help a fellow androidian out.
Thought:
Could it be that im downloading the rom to my iMac, transferring to my pc via flash drive thats corrupting it somehow? I dont have hemidal or samsung drivers on my imac but it seems to download the files faster thats why im doing that. But when it finishes its a folder not a .zip so I transfer it to my pc and compress it with 7zip.
I think other people are getting the same error tho as well so maybe not..

Well to start, would be to download the Hashtab program and install it. That gives you easy access to the MD5 sums that you'll need so you can verify downloads.
Now on your Mac, I can only tell you how to do it from the command line. Open up a terminal window and type in without the quotes "md5 filename" replacing filename with the file you want the MD5 sum for.
Hashtab is a nice user friendly version, but it is a 3rd party program. Some people don't like those. So your choice there.
I can also tell you of the only real problem I have had so far with the Illusion Rom. Bluetooth Tethering doesn't work. Now what I mean by this is using Bluetooth on a Cell Phone to give Data to the Note is problematic. DHCP doesn't work til launched manually, and DNS servers don't work. So as long as you don't use Bluetooth Tethering for your Note you'll be fine. But if you use Bluetooth tethering ( a small group of people I know) might not want to upgrade quite yet.

Now this explains the entire problem... Your Mac is unzipping the file, and probably destroying some of the symbolic links. Rezipping it still leaves the broken links and causes problems. I don't remember how to tell OSX (Mac) not to auto unzip files. But you'll need to do that or download it on your PC.

From how it sounds your Mac is auto-unzipping. You want the Mac to leave the downloaded zip file & leave it alone. Not to unzip & rezip it up. That is what is causing trouble, the unzipping and rezipping more then likely. So disable the "expand archives". Doing a quick search try reading up on it here to get Safari to behave. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1483114?start=0&tstart=0

Doing a quick search try reading up on it here to get Safari to behave. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1483114?start=0&tstart=0

Just needed that key piece of info. That you where rezipping the file after using your Mac to download it.
Hope it installs this time around. But I would suggest learning how to check the MD5 sums as well. Doesn't hurt to be careful.

I completely agree. And I plan to. Didnt know it would be that easy. Again thanks man. But you completely helped me understand. I love learning about this when there is someone willing to teach.
I just downloaded the rom on my pc and its doing what it was before. I try putting the zip file in to my internal sd on my tablet and it says "CAN NOT COPY ITEM, The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected"
It has not I can assure you. I've tried rebooting the tablet and pc when this happened before and still with no avail. I can copy other files to my tablet no problem. I've never ran into this before.
I cant even open the zip file or extract it to my desktop right now. Seriously, what the hell.
says windows cant open it cause the file is invalid. Must be that MD5 thing your tellin me to do. So now That im doing it on my windows pc should I install that program you mentioned?

I've had that problem before with windows. Not sure exactly what causes it, my guess is some data on the usb connection is causing it. Wrong driver or something.
When it happens changing USB ports, sometimes helps. Or you can use ADB to copy the file over. Not sure if you have used ADB before or not. The third way is to pull the Micro SD card out of your Note, and use an adapter (SD to USB) to put the file directly onto it from windows.
Only options I can think of off the top of my head for that problem. But it is one I've seen before.

Great ideas! I can try the sd one tomorrow. Day 3 lol. Wish Me luck
I may have missed this part, so I apologize. Is there any reason you can't just download it directly from the tablet, saving it to the sd card? It would assuredly cut down on the headache and potential file corruption during transfer between devices.

Already got cm10.3 up and running. The developer gave me a nightly build that had all the files taken out already. Had to download it twice but got it after putting it on my internal memory. Thank you for your help. The note 10.1 has a good community of people.
