Im about to download a rom but I noticed that there was a file with the same name as the rom, but it ended with .md5 So I researched about it, and found out it was only a verification code to make sure you downloaded the right file. Is it really that important? Because I've flashed roms before, and I didnt have to do that.
Thanks!

Well, it will help you check if you have a corrupt download which could brick your phone.
I have a md5 checker on my desktop, but I admit, I always forget to use it.

It provides recovery should anything go wrong. Now devlopement of recovery is safe
It also look like a new radio, root files and root directions.
First time poster, apologies for any ignorance ahead of time.
I've rooted my droid2, and am now trying to get this .jpg extracted but the password is coming up wrong, and I am using phoxusgift which was displayed in the comments. Any assistance possible? Thanks ahead of time.

Yeah I am having the same problem. I put the password in and it gives me a CRC checksum failure. Is there something we have to do to the jpg file before extracting it?

I'm so stupid. I downloaded the Droid 2 Bomb.jpg and used the wrong password. It wasn't clear that one word was the password for the D2 and the other word was the password for the DX, I am assuming. (I am not downloading the DX image just to find out)
Can anyone that has signal issues with their D2 verify that the new radio is an improvement?
I somehow mucked something up. I've downloaded the SBFs and RSD Lite 4.7. How exactly do I go about recovering the phone? I've got the phone into recovery mode. Which of the 2 SBFs should I flash first?

I flashed the DROID2_X6_2.2.20_SHADOW first, then the other one. But with backup manager, all the apps will re-install. You have to un-install them and do a factory reset after the flash. That seemed to fix my problem.
The other alternative is to remove all the root apps and then try flashing the sbfs.

I tried flashing but it failed. RSD's error message said the phone's image is not compatible with the multi-interface super file. Any ideas?
I installed all versions of RSD lite to find that v. 4.7 is the one that works with the newer phones... maybe that might be the issue?
I'm currently using RSD Lite 4.7
UPDATE: Removing all of the rooted apps worked. Successfully flashed.
After I flash both files, what do I do next. My phone is unrooted, but now it doesn't have a connection to the network. Has a blue triangle at the top. All my apps are still there, and yeah... just not network connection...
Update: Figured it out and even wrote a tutorial.

This method is just for recovery. I think you can use this method if the .sbf file was a rooted version, but the .sbf file listed in the tutorial is just for a stock recovery.
To root, you can use this set of instructions. Takes about 15 minutes. Not very long.

Need help. I rooted and installed bootstrap. Now every time I try to flash sbf it fails. I have used rsdlite many times on my droid 1. I have the upto date 4.7.
Okay i have a question about the T959v. Here are the facts: Phone was flashed with ODIN but the repartition box was checked. It was my fault because i didn't double check before flashing. Now the phone is in a recovery bootloop when i try to turn it on. I can reach DOWNLOAD MODE but then again if i try to flash it again same thing will happen. Is there something i can do or is the phone bricked because of that???? Thanks in advance!
What's the rom you are flashing?

Stock kd1 but i have some other roms like gingerbread...
Im using the .831 pit file also, but i have tried without the pit file and nothing. Also tried without repartition checked but it will do the same thing. Problem is that first time i flashed i had repartition checked

And your sure the rom is for the sgs4g and not the vibrant, right? Because the two are majorly different...

Yes i am, like i said the mistake i made was leaving the repartition option checked. For some reason the phone has a boot loop and when i hit reboot now on recovery it says failed to mount /data invalid argument. Never had something like this happened before and i have flash a ton on galaxys

I think Odin will auto re partition when you flash the pit. You can un check it and it should be fine either way.

I may be wrong but...
I think you need the csc. If your just flashing the pit and pda your missing the other partitions. I think when you repartitioned it wiped the partitions and you are missing one or more.

I had the same problem that you are experiencing. The fix for me was to get a full Factory load that was verified to be for the GalaxyS4G. Which is the model number that you listed. The Odin that I loaded is T595VUVKF1. This requires that you load each file in the proper Odin category. Use the Pit file, PDA, Phone and CSC files. Leave the repartition box checked and you should get your stock image back, from there you can install CWM and flash another image.
Allright thanks a lot! I knew something like that was happening but i have not been able to find a firmware with those files divided i mean the csc,pda, and phone files separated. Everything i found has been the package that you just file in pda... If anybody know where to find that i appreciate the link.

If not, I have one that has all 3 necessary files that (just not the pit which you already have anyways) I can upload and share that will get you going again...

Sweet, glad you got it working but i recommend you do it again with kj6 official GB. kf1 was the first GB leak we got. It has a borked boot loader file so good luck with recovery and download mode

Bad download? Did you check it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
it seemed to save in my GS2 ROMs folder on my desktop just fine..:/
how would I be able to check and see if the download was bad or not?..
maybe the source gave you a md5 checksum. go and check if this numbers are the same as the ones of your downloaded one...
btw this is always a good thing to do for preventing bricks... (especially when flashing radios ...)

i am on osx and i use the terminal: md5 filename.ext
on windows you can use tools like fastsum dot com. just google for it

yea when it was flashing I spotted a line that appear with that checksum phrase in it....
EDIT: I ran a checksum on it but Im still not clear on whether the download was bad or not..:/
ok, and was it the same as the source said it should be?
again, best advise is to compare the md5 sums before flashing anything on your device. sometimes you get errors while downloading files from the internet. so you can be safe that your downloaded files are not corrupt.
so you are hanging before you can access CWM or after flashing and first bootup?
after flashing on the first bootup...it just stalls right there..but then i restore, flash Blazer again, and everything works fine
Edit: does the fact that this was based on EK02 make it non compatible with my EL29?
ok... tried redownloading it?
really did a full wipe and cleared dalvik?
maybe you find the answer in the roms original thread?
Hey everyone,
So im flashing my phone back to stock and I followed and downloaded the stock firmwarefrom the stickies thread under the factory image link. Problem is, when I go toflash it, it has a MD5 hash value is invalid error. It talks about this occurence in the guide but does not really answer the question: Why does it not match? And howCan I flash this phone back to stock? Or where is therea valid download so I can do this?
EDIT: SO I found that linkon how to return to stock but the other questions regarding why the value has changed would be nice to know.
Much thanks to anyone who canhelp me! Its Urgent!

Retry downloading it, it just means a bad/interrupted download.

And post the exact file name of the file OP.
I am at 4.2.2 Cataclysm and I want to return to stock, I used the android factory image for Nexus 5 and it always just stays on writing radio forever. I see it says "writing..." in fastboot on my phone for a brief couple seconds and then disappears and the command prompt on the computer still says its flashing the radio forever.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Re-download the factory image and use 7-zip to extract it. Possibly a bad download
compair the md5 checksum. you can find it on the google download page and apps like root explorer f.e. will calculate the checksum of the downloaded file for you.
This worked. I have never had a corrupted download that still unzipped before. Thanks!

Its a sweet ROM, I'm going back because my NFC is defective and I was going to exchange my phone. I'll probably flash it again on my replacement phone unless paranoid android comes out. Go for it!
