[Q] How should my MD5 Checksum read

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.

[Q] md5

Hi ,
I know more or less what the function of md5 checksum is (i think ).
Checking if all data is correctly transfered/flashed.
But how do i use it / work with it ?
Do i need a program and check every flash i do , in advance manually ,or how ???
Do i find the md5 in every file i want to flash and compare it with the md5 once its on the sd card from the phone before installing ?
Grts

Md5 is a way to confirm the data that you have either downloaded or received from any source is a complete accurate copy of the original form.
You can download very simple md5 checkers, see Google, one I downloaded the other night was 25kb.

could someone please verify md5 hash of sbf

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

[Q] Modify ROM md5

Hello,
I'm trying to modify a couple of roms to remove some APKs and add anothers, (Supercharged and Lithium) but I keep getting md5 mismatch, even though I modified the MD5 files with the new MD5 values (using md5sums for windows)
Can you tell me what am I doing wrong / how to force CWM Recovery to ignore the MD5 files?
Thanks

The easiest thing to do is to bypass md5sum checks by leaving the md5 file empty.

It didn't work with an empty file, neither did it without an md5 file

I've had problems with if having bad checks even with an empty md5 file. formatting my sdcard fixed it. Just backup your stuff first. hopefully yo don't have 28 GB of music like me

[Q] MD5 Mismatch error even AFTER clearing nandroid.md5?

So I had the md5 mismatch error and the easiest solution was to use a text editor and delete the contents of the nandroid.md5 file under Clockworkmod/Backup/(NameofBackup).
Well I did that but now when I try to restore I get the md5 mismatch error INSTANTLY, so I'm assuming that just made things worse. How can I fix this?

What were you attempting to do when you received the error message? Flashing from CWM recovery?
