How do I convert roms into an md5 file I can use to flash via odin? Everytime I download rom i get a zip folder with meta, system and updates folders as well as a few other files but no md5 file ????
You can't convert a zip file to an md5. One is a container and the other is a checksum. Try Mobile Odin or install from zip via CWM
md5 is hash to verify content.. if u don't have it .. create it ..

I cant install with CWN as I have the Samsung Galaxy S 4g, the only way to flash this phone is with odin. Does anybody know when someone will convert any roms to use with on this phone yet?? Feels like I have been waiting on a release for ever and dont know how to convert the zip to md5 myself.
.....and using odin mobile requires root ....the reason why i am trying to flash a custom rom to begin with is to get root in the first place?!

another Question,
how i can get S5360_XXKK6_OXXKK2_XXKK5 or S5360XXKK6_REV05 as CWM ZIP ROM ?
It's easy! f you have Windows...
All you have to do is rename the file. Right Click > Rename, then change the file extension to zip. Delete md5 and type zip. Now you can open it by .zip
You can do the same with he .img files that's in the new zip. Want to change it back? Do the opposite.
Hope it helped, hit a :good: for me please! I'm kind of new. Thanks.

Like i said, change the extension to .zip and unzip the contents in your new zip file from your md5.
I backed up my stock rom from twrp recovery mode. Now i cant restore it.
Is there any way i can install the stock rom again
What
Of course you can guys its a bit of a hassle but you convert the .zip to a .tar download the tar converter tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad I forgot where I got it from but search it its here then run the batch with that converted tar wholla .tar.md5 file just used it for a modem
ok so then if im using odin how am i sopposed to flash it because in order to flash a stock rom or any rom i need to to be in md5 or tar so if its zipped how should i do it
You can do so
You can convert to tar from zip via 7-zip there is vedio about it on YouTube

So I got a phone with cryogen7 or whatever from my friend. I want to make it completely stock again. I dont have his sd card. so I just have mine from another phone. I downloaded the stock g2x gingerbread file, but when I try to restore it, i get a md5 mismatch or something. I saw a thread on that but I dont know how to write code. just hoping someone could help me out. thank you.
Download it again, also try another browsee

Download the V21E nandroid from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196019
Then use your computer to extract the folder from the zip file you download. Copy that folder to the sdcard on your phone, and place it in the ./clockworkmod/backup directory. Then boot into clockworkmod recovery and select backup/restore > restore and then choose the backup folder you just copied to your sdcard. Make sure to do a full wipe/factory reset from within clockworkmod before you reboot or you might get a bootloop.
If you want stock recovery then use tga gunmanns one click app in the development section to restore stock recovery. Then you'll be 100% unrooted stock again.

Nandroid backups aren't flashable zips. With the files from the thread i linked to, you have to extract the backup folder from the zip before you restore it. But yes, you are correct that spaces in the name of the backup create issues.
Did you figure it out yet?

it freezes on "checking md5 sums"... don't know what to do
Are you using your computer to extract the V21E folder from the zip file? Ive used my phone before to extract it before and gotten the md5 mismatch error, and then used my computer to do it and it worked fine.
are you sure the rom your using is for your phone?
Can anybody tell me if the AT&T file is zipped or unizipped...trying to see why the link wont show up when i download it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348
Despite the fact that the link says: Download Stock TAR for SGH-I727, what you will actually download is in 7z format. Once you open that you will find a .tar file. Once you open that, you will find the boot, recovery and system .img files. People love to complicate things.
when i try to open the file it comes up as being blank...nothing is even there
ok i see my problem now...what is a program to open the 7z format file???
Do you have a utility which will open 7z files?
http://www.7-zip.org/
I downloaded both the AT&T and Rodgers files a while back and seem to recall it took over 15 minutes for each of them despite they're only being about 250m. You may have corrupt files.
ok i didnt have the utility...thanks bro i am noob just did my first root 3 days ago and the custom rom im running keeps force closing...trying to get rid of it and return it to stock rom
what is the process of extracting the tar file to odin???

Did you make a nandroid backup? Have you tried fixing permissions? Just curious. If you made a nandroid backup before you flashed your new rom, just restore the backup. Always always always make a nandroid before you flash.

honestly, you have some reading to do, but from the initial sounds of it, you either:
A. restored apps you shouldnt have with Titanium Backup after flashing your new rom (only use RESTORE MISSING APPS WITH DATA, NEVER EVER USE RESTORE ALL APPS OR RESTORE SYSTEM ANYTHING)
or you:
B. didnt wipe data/factory reset in CWM before flashing the new rom
best option right now would be to boot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset, then boot back into your rom and see if you get FCs....
i restored all of my apps that were missing on my phone...didnt restore anything else. i just want to return my rom back to its original state and i didnt back it up when i used cwm. the rom that am using is Sky Ice Cream sandwhich and im having problems wit force closes

if you want to go back to stock, then you need to fire up ODIN as admin, put the stock tar file in the pda slot, put phone in download mode and hit start
The problem im having wit dat is puting the stock rom into the PDA...the tar file is not recognized in the PDA...i downloaded the utility to extract the tar file from the 7z file but im stuck from there...assistance please??

open 7z file with 7zip. drag the tar file out to your desktop
open ODIN as admin
click on the PDA button
point it to your desktop where the tar file is
select the tar file and click start
its not complicated....dont really understand what the issue is
when i open the the files in 7zip they will not move to the desktop as a Tar file...they go as three seperate files

inside the 7z file is ONE, count them, ONE .tar file. DO NOT EXTRACT THE FILES INSIDE THE .TAR file....
sounds to me like you are opening the 7z, then opening the .tar within 7zip
try this. right click on the 7z file, 7-zip, EXTRACT HERE, assuming you are somewhere simple, like your desktop. it should spit out ONE .tar file

You might have gotten a corrupt download. Try it again before going to Defcon 2.
And I would install via goo.
I got exactly the same MD5 errors...multiple times
I have downloaded,redownload and redownload again - time and time again i got the MD5 error.
No luck
But I used the commandline interface (the if=/....of=/) on one of these downloaded files and it worked.
I do not think this is Odin format, compatible.
Any other ideas?

buddy, there is Q/A thread for the same. I think you must use it first. But if you have made it so here is the solution for rooting:
Q. 4) How Can I flash CMW & Root my Galaxy R.?
A. 4) This is something Critical. Just Joking. Its so easy. If you are over GB then flash Superuser zip file(attached) & if you are over ICS then just flash Ardatdat's Kernel V4 or higher. it will automatically Root your Galaxy R. Link for Ardatdat's kernels in dropbox: → Dropbox ←
Also, one can follow this tutorial for Rooting ICS - > {Guide} Rooting Galaxy R on version 4.0.4 & for flashing CMW please follow this tut -> [Guide] How to flash stock FW and CWW and Root i9103
Also there is Q/A thread for your all questions(most probably) here → http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983262

Hello, You can try one of these:
1. Try reflashing CWM v4.0.0.2 via ODIN and check if its recognizing the said zips.
2. Place the zips in a folder inside the internal sdcard and try.

Duplicate thread.
Check. here
Flash ardatdats kernel v4 or higher (download it from here) and youll be done.
And if CWM Recovery is not recognizing zip files..
Dont put it in a FOLDER like
/sdcard/xyz folder/abcd.zip
Put it like
sdcard/abcd.zip
i.e. Directly in the basic folder of sdcard..
NOT in any folder like bluetooth,clockworkmod,android,DCIM etc.
This might solve your issue mate

For updation of binaries->Just extract any CWM File of Galaxy R at your PC/mobile. It will show 2-3 folders. Go to Meta-info folder->In the end of Folders you will see 2 files. one is Update script & second is Update-binaries. These Wrong update binaries become problem of Status 0.

Yes buddy, so instead of compressing it, just use Winrar. open both files (i.e. error one & CMW)-> Delete update binaries file from Error one-> extract File (update binaries) from CWM.-> Just Drag & drop using mouse the extracted file to Error Ziped file-> Just press ok whatever Winrar says(it will add it in the file)-> Flash that error file now & report.
@MJ, i think you have made a thread regarding CWM errors..??

Stock ROM yes but i use CWM recovery for all practical purposes. As all zips are given in CWM flashable formats including ones as basic as Superuser.zip . Currently I am on X-perience ROM and im using CWM 6.0.1.1. before which i was using CWM 5.5.x
