hi there.
i just downloaded the german motorla atrix rom you postet here
for safety reasons i checked the md5 hashs.
the md5 of the compressed sbf.gz is ok
but unfortunately the md5 of the sbf file itself get differs from yours.
i get 87F1762240C2636331B907BCB19BF55D for the sbf file.
i tryed different extracting programs and different checksumgenerators, just to make shure.
i cant ask the poster cause i dont have my 10 usefull posts, so maybe this is the way to go..
does anyone have the opportunity to recheck an uncorrupted sbf file?
thanks
okay i redownloaded and got the same differing md5 hash as before.
so its nothing about the download.
flashed it via rsd lite..
works properly..
so the file seems to be okay and safe to flash
eventhough the hash is 87F1762240C2636331B907BCB19BF55D
..could anyone write a pm to daywalker04 since i cant and tell him?
thanks

So i tried to go back to rc 29 and now my phone only shows a green/red/blue/white screen whenever i turn it on. I followed the instructions to a T and when it was downloading on my phone it worked all the way till the end then gave me an error message. I dont know what to do please help me.
Thanks a ton
Oh... the dreaded Multi Color screen of Death.
Sorry to say it man. You are out of luck. That is the only TRUE brick that happens.
Better luck next time. No way to fix it. Might as well throw your phone in some water, or use it as a paperweight.
Now, I did hear sticking a paper clip into the USB port while you boot it up often fixes it.
Is this true? F***
Dont worry. Just check md5 of the DREAIMG.nbh .I`m sure that MD5 is wrong, thats why u have error

can you please explain how to do this?
Your device is from USA or England?
If it`s from USA downdload RC29NBH.zip here http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Root_For_RC30.
Then extract file DREAIMG.nbh., Format your sdcard in FAT32, Copy DREAIMG.nbh on SDcard. And then compare the MD5 of your file. It must be MD5 Checksum: 53840b90a0fe1bfab19fab8ef8fb9724. If its OK Turn OFF your phone, insert SD into your phone, turn On your phone.
If you have windows PC you can check MD5 in MD5checker. (you can find it in google).
P.S. Sorry for my English.
Haha I'm just playing roush.
A couple things. When you flashed are you positive your card was FAT32? Also make sure it was update.zip, not update.zip.zip.
Try reflashing the RC 29 image *the DREAIMG one.
Lastly make sure you downloaded the right image and it's not corrupt.
In a linux world, you always... i repeat, ALWAYS check md5 sums of important files.
2BrightSparks makes a great windows program for checking md5 hash sums. http://www.2brightsparks.com/downloads.html

Seriously, has everyone forgotten what Google is? md5sum is a file's unique "fingerprint". It is posted to help downloaders ensure that they have the exact same file as what was uploaded.
Md5sum is essentially a digital fingerprint for a given file. The reason they are given is that it will give you a clue as to whether or not you have a complete and correct (exact) download. This is especially important in flashing a radio file. You will see them in rom threads too, but it is most important for a radio (PG05IMG.zip)
Flashing a bad radio in hboot can and will brick your phone. Flashing a bad rom or kernel in recovery is quite recoverable.
You can download an app called AFV (android file verifier) from the market and can calculate the md5 of any file and you just compare it to what is in generally the OP of any thread.

Ok I'm a "Noob" to the Android phenom happening. Don't scold me for asking plz.
I've got "S-OFF" on my Sensation 4G and am flashing ROM's to see which I like but I'm not sure my MD5 is right.
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT - 1.17.1011
RADIO - 10.13.9035.19_M
That's what my phone is showing but i keep seeing I need 10.54.9035.00U_10.13.9035.19_M
Being that the last is identical am I good or do I need to try some other method to update the RADIO?
MD5 is to check for files.. not for phones..
This is md5.
In regards to your question, yes, you have the correct radio. You will not see "10.54.9035.00U" if you are in the bootloader screen.
However, you will see it under settings->about phone->software.
MD5 sum checks integrity of the file. There should be an MD5 listed for the file you are downloading.
Download the file, then checksum. If it matches the MD5 listed, you're good to go.
If not, there's something wrong with the file, try to download again. If still no good, get on the thread and let somebody know. Big files (like ROMs) may take a minute or two to before sum appears, be patient.

What file to download?
Just look around on the site you downloaded it from, there usually is a MD5 provided. You will just have to compare the numbers (you can do that when rebooting into recovery, then trying to find check MD5 of a file, then selecting the file you want to check).
I don't know about an automatic way to check it with recovery, with some ROM update mechanism it might.
This is an MD5 sum btw: 555d6458ed45e716eb22ced991393e35 and they must match exactly otherwise your download went wrong somewhere and you should download the files again.
What is it? i read somewhere that if a radio and checksum don't match, it has a negative effect.
its pretty simple. its just a set of numbers and letters, if they match up perfectly with the one in the op of the radio or rom then your good to go. If they dont match you run the risk of bricking your phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706705

Download it again and check. No way to fix it if it's corrupt, i.e. MD5 sums don't match.
MD5 is a mathematical algorithm, used in encryption and other security applications.
When you run MD5 software on a file it performs the calculation and out comes a long hexedecimal number which is refered to as the MD5 checksum.
It's customary for this checksum to be posted along with the link to files such as ROMs and radios.
When you download, you can then run your own MD5 software on the downloaded file. It will perform the exact same mathematical calculation and give you the MD5 checksum of the file you have downloaded.
If your checksum matches the one posted by the dev, you can be sure you have an accurate copy of the downloaded file. If they don't match, then your download is either corrupt, or possibly some kind of trojan.
You should never install any software if the MD5 sum does not match the one provided by the dev. Instead, try downloading the file again, perhaps from a different mirror. If all else fails, contact the dev as it's possible they might have posted an incorrect checksum, or may have an alternate means by which you can obtain the file.

use any file manager you have and navigate to the zip file
tap and hold on it and select properties
somewhere it will say show md5 checksum or calculate md5 checksum
you will see a row of numbers and letters
then check it if it is the same withe one from the download link
Hello!
I try to install a Custom ROM on my HTC One S but during the installation i get this error:
Error: No MD5 file...
Disable force MD5 check to avoid this error
Error flashing zip from sd card
Maybe someone have an idea
Please follow the rules and only use English here.
If you need German help go to android-hilfe.de

Try to redownload your ROM and try again, sounds like you have a bad download.
You can only disable md5check for backups not for flashable zips.

Ok I am sorry!

Thanks for this fast answer!

I just check the MD5 using root explorer (there are many free md5 checkers), then flash. I believe TWRP also has an MD5 checker...just compare with the one at get.cm.
It is much more likely that you are not properly fastboot flashing the boot.img. Please read the OP of the CM threads to learn how to properly install the ROM.
To flash the boot.img via fastboot was successfull.
Where I`ve to put the .MD5 file on the internal storage? Before i have create a .md5 file with the MD5 Checker.
I can`t find any tutorial or threads for my HTC One S.

Put it with the ROM zip. You can also just look at the file and compare it to the one listed on get.cm.
