Hello,
I previously downloaded files from goo.im the download went fine but when I click on the MD5 file to download it and check it with MD5 checksum it pastes the link no the md5 value in the top; then I can manually paste the file on the bottom. I tried to use 7-zip just to make sure that I did not that to extract anything. Am I doing something wrong or how do I get the MD5 file out of the MD5sum I downloaded from goo.im
No help at all?

7-Zip should be all you need. You have some typos in your question making it hard to understand what you're talking about. Can you correct them so we all can better understand what the question is?

ok. I will try to clarify with some screen shots. In the first screen shot I click on the MD5sum file right under Filename from goo.im. I download the file using google chrome and once its done downloading I click on Open With MD5 Utility checker. From here in screen shot two I cannot got it to load into the top line in the MD5 Check Utility where it says "Please Paste In The MD5 Code" Nothing gets imputed into the field. Sense there is nothing in the top field it will not let me manually let me post the bottom file to check and see if they match.
EDIT: I cannot see my screen shots from the forum view but I can see them from editing my post. Let me know if they are not able to be seen.
If you're doing this on a PC, open the MD5 sum file in Notepad. Copy the md5 sum from there and paste it into the MD5 check utility. If this is on a Mac, open the file in TextEdit.

Can Someone Please explain MD5 ... The uses and how to compare and check?
Many thanks in advance
What it does, how it works:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5
Program to calculate checksums (for example):
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum
http://implbits.com/Products/HashTab.aspx this puts a tab on your (right click -> properties) and you can compare it there. makes MD5 easy.
its a way of error-detecting to see if it verifies 100% without any errors. this is critical when updating radios and things. if you have a bad copy of it then you may brick your phone or cause damage because you received a corrupted version

I sort of get it....just ....what are you checking it with....so say i download a radio.img , then i check its md5 against what ? how would i know that whatever md 5 it had generated is the right one.....sorry for the questions

the OP would include a MD5. once you download it, right click the file you downloaded and go to the hash tab and copy paste the one the OP pasted.. copy paste it into the box and if it matches a check will appear meaning its 100% identical
if OP doesn't include one then you cant check

OP????
what happens though if it isnt identical......
When it isn't identical, then the file got corrupted.
This can happen in a variety of ways, including:
- There was an error during download
- There was an error during the original upload
- The file got corrupted during storage on the server
- The file got corrupted because of an write/read error on your hard disk
- Someone purposefully manipulated the file, for example including a virus or even changed the file so that it would brick your device if you install it.
In any case: If the md5 doesn't match, then installing it is a big NO NO.
Effects can range from no problems over occasional errors and crashes to a completely bricked device (especially, if the error happens to be in the bootloader).
Or if someone manipulated the file willingly, he could be spying on you or causing you costs by making your phone send messages or doing calls to special expensive numbers. Or he could use your phone as a proxy for various illegal things.
PS: OP = orginal poster = the person who posted the file on the first place
Thank-you very much I understand now ....nice comprehensive answer....thanks though to all who posted

Hello, this is a basic software, that let you calculate the MD5 about files/folder , with just drag and drop inside the box.
Two version, English, and Spanish
Requirements:
Windows OS
Java installed
Screenshots attached
MD5's (Yes calculed with Drag'n'MD5)

Changelog:
15.08.2011 - v1
Initial release
going to test it
you are GENIUS workig just like that
Where you drop them? Is md4 and sha1 next? Nice one mate!
New version uploaded, added comparison, and recursive comparison with clipboard
EDIT: Fixed bugs, reuploaded, enjoy!
Nice work mate! Only you should use some less boring animation during md5 calc Works great!
We've been waiting for this for sometime, thanks.
Thanks for the hard work, and i am appreciative. is this used to check the MD5SUM post downloading a ROM or flash-able .zip, or to verify the md5sum prior to publicly posting a ROM or flash-able .zip If it is used for verifying downloads, what is the difference between this and using the
Code:
# md5sum /mnt/sdcard/[file_name].zip
from within the adb shell?

Drag'n'MD5 it's a software originally made to get ANY file MD5, but last release also have MD5 check, that means you can use for check downloaded zip MD5, or pre-check MD5 for publishing a zip.
The difference with adb shell it's that you can drag & drop ANY file, and get its MD5, based on substrings, and file digest.
*Note* Any it's on caps, because it's not specifically designed for get Zip's MD5.
Cheers,
D4.
Is installation necessary? Could you release a "portable" version (executable only)?

Consideer it as an "unpacker", you can choose desktop (or any place you like), disable shortcuts, and just run it, as an portable app.

Could you make a Portuguese version?
I'm sure it won't be difficult for you, since you know Spanish.

I'm sorry but you're wrong, spanish syntax it's very different to portuguese, so it's not easy for me. Also would be more work, because I forgot to use multilanguage settings, and I did release 2 versions as you can see. So portuguese will be 3 versions. Just use English or spanish version.
Cheers.
I'm trying to use this software and when I drag a zip file into the "drag and Drop Here" I get the Circle with a line through it, and nothing happens.
I made sure to run it as and administrator on my pc, and I have windows 7 x64 version. 8 gig of ram, and a quad core processor.
The zip file is from Prime_v1.8.2.zip from the Transformer Dev Roach2010.
Although I just tried dragging a few txt files, and those don't work either.

I see. Just to confirm, it doesn't make any registry/uninstaller changes?
I am an administrator on my Windows 7 machine but when I try run setup.exe it tells me "You must be logged in as an administrator when installing this program." Any ideas?

No, uninstaller it's an .ini file, not even touchs registry, don't worry.

What?? First make sure you have "unknown software" and "usb debug" checked in settings. Next you download and extract the file to your computer. Put your phone in "download mode", then open Odin, plug in your usb, Odin should shows the port number on the left hand side, click on PDA check box then click on browse and find your MD5 file that you just extracted. Click start in Odin to start flashing.
thank you for your help

Here is a MD5 checker for windows machines. It calculates the MD5 then displays a form with two buttons, you can either paste a MD5 into the text box and then check the calculated MD5 with the entered MD5 to see if they match.
Or after calculating the MD5 you can simply get the MD5 of the file you selected. Its very easy to use.
Find your file in windows explorer, right click on the file, and then select "Send To" and choose MD5 Checker and thats it

The MD5 of the attachments in this post.....if the person is downloading your app (unless they did as I have just done - I have an MD5 checker already) would suggest that they don't have an MD5 app already so the numbers you have posted seen pointless to the end user. They would have to install your app to check the integrity of the file they just downloaded.....and the purpose of providing the MD5 number is to check the download for either corruption and/or misformation caused by malware insertion etc.
Some constructive feedback. The installer looks nice and professional.
The app....how does it work? I have been using MD5 check and SHA1 and SHA2 checking for quite sometime now (so I know what I am talking about). I have mine setup through right click context menus.
Do you select the app in explorer with your app open and then go generate MD5??? No instructions?
Your uninstall method is messy and lefts junk/fragments etc in on the drive. The directory remain as well as the uninstall executable.

Uninstall isn't even mine. It's auto created by the packaging tool I'm using.
I kind of also have left this to the side as it doesn't seem popular.
And I don't know what you mean by saying posting the md5s of my tool is pointless. It's just a reference for people to familiarize themselves with md5 hash keys.
And all you do is select the file you want to check and right click it then select "send to" then "md5 checker" and it will generate the hash key then enable the interface.
Again I pretty much quit this. Nobody's interested.

one star for the sig whats up with that post in that forum? that angry person is crazy lol. Does he own the servers that run xda? i Mean is he the boss? Can't be. I dunno I gotta find out what thats about though its going drive me crazy if i don't pm me even pleasee lol
I know you said you pretty much quit this, but I just discovered it, and I am interested in getting it working as described in the OP.
I installed your program & set up the sendto, but the MD5 Checker.exe GUI front end for md5sum.exe isn't working. "Get MD5" doesn't do anything, and "Check MD5" always returns a mismatch.
Is this incompatible with Win7 x64, or have I screwed something up installing it?
Thanks.
When I sold tech I hated the instructions that assumed a body of knowledge when I was setting up labs that I didn't have. I have, hopefully in a clear fashion, explained exactly how to check MD5 sum's using ES File Explorer. I had no body of knowledge in this either so maybe my experience can save you some time. The MD5 Sum check is essentially comparing "serial numbers" to make sure that the download is as labeled. The problem with precise directions is everything changes. The biggest issue is to remember that we need to compare the MD5 sums and that somewhere, after a long press on the file we have downloaded and is on our phone, ES File Explorer will generate a MD5 sum.
To check the MD5 sum of a zip file you downloaded and will reside on your phone, begin by copying (cut and pasting) the MD5 sum number from the download page when you download the ROM, update, or the Radio, etc. You will use this number to compare to the MD5 sum generated by ES File Explorer. Once you have that number written down (cut and pasted), open ES File Explorer, navigate to the zip file on your phone that you downloaded and long press the zip file whose MD5 sum you need to verify before flashing. Then choose properties in the ES File Explorer window- it’s all the way at the end- for the zip file whose MD5 sum you are checking. When you do long click the zip file in ES File Explorer a window will appear and in the lower left hand corner of the ES File window. It says “show check sum”, click it. In the next window choose MD5 and then choose calculate. ES file Explorer will generate the file’s MD5 Sum. This sum and the MD5 sum you wrote down from the original download page should match. If they do not, do not flash it. Find where there is a downloadable that has a matching MD5 sum.

This works the same in pretty much every file browser I've ever used on Android. You don't really need to copy it though, all you need to remember is the last 5 digits, if they are the same, the rest will be as well. Or you can just task switch from the browser to the file explorer to verify. At least that's how I do it.
Es is great but lately Ive been using "Solid Explorer". When you ask for the md5 it comes back with the md5 and a spot to paste the one you copied from the dl site. It compares them and gives you a "check mark" if they match.
