[Q] Converting Zip to MD5

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?!

thanks for the answer.
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

how do I return my tablet to stock?

It's currently running cm10.x and using twrp. I've downloaded the firmware file from asus.com. It is a zip file that contains another zip file. Do I just extract the contents and then flash the extracted zip file?
thanks

I downloaded the latest ROM from the ASUS website. I extracted the zip file once and I then copied the extracted zip file into my tablet. I then open the zip file and extracted the contents using solid explorer. I did this just to verify the zip file can be opened.
After this, I rebooted my tablet into TWRP and wiped data/system/cache/dalvik. I then flashed the zip file but when it finished, I tried rebooting my device BUT TWRP is complaining no OS is installed?
Any ideas what I did wrong? thanks

Obviously the flash failed since you still have TWRP. You did a little too much at each step. Flashing a complete firmware file wipes/formats everything: system, data, recovery, bootloader. No need to do that prior.
I don't know why your flash failed, but it could be a bad download, could be that the file got messed up when copying to the tablet or when you extracted it.
I would download another copy of the firmware, extract it once on your PC and then transfer that file to your tablet and flash it.

That's correct. You wiped your OS, and installed the new firmware to the staging partition. The bootloader will flash it from there to the final partitions after the next reboot (with the blue progress bar).

Unlocked (639737.5) System Image Backup

I've uploaded a few updated stock files for the Unlocked variant of HTC One A9 (1.12.617.6) in case anyone needs them.
USE THESE FILES AT YOUR OWN RISK!
They can be found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8OH6sFjVE1ldGNjN29KX19zZm8
RUU_HIA_AERO_UL_M60_SENSE7GP_ATT_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.12.617.6.zip
This is an extracted zip of the latest HTC RUU.
This file will wipe everything on your phone EXCEPT External (SD) Storage
The easiest way to flash is to download the file, rename it to 2PQ9IMG.zip, copy it to your SD card, reboot to download mode and press volume up when prompted to flash
Otherwise, you can flash using htc_fastboot in RUU mode
fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip RUU_HIA_AERO_UL_M60_SENSE7GP_ATT_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.12.617.6.zip (what is htc_fastboot? it's HTC's very own fastboot utility that allows you to flash larger files than regular fastboot. where can you find it? it's not hard)
HTC_A9_2PQ9IMG_1.12.617.6_SystemImageBackupAndBoot.zip
TWRP system image backup. This file will restore your system to an unmodified state and should allow you to take an OTA Update if you're rooted or otherwise modified your system partition
This is NOT a flashable zip. It is a regular old compressed zip file.
Download it to your computer, unzip it, and copy the contents to the TWRP backup directory (sdcard/TWRP/Backups/.../...) on your device.
Boot to recovery
Go to Mount Menu and set System to Read-Only
Go to Restore and find and select this backup folder
Optional - I've included the stock boot image in case you have flashed a modified boot image and want to restore this as well
HTC_A9_2PQ9IMG_1.12.617.6_Stock_boot.img
stock boot image extracted from the 1.12.617.6 OTA update package
flash in download mode (fastboot flash boot HTC_A9_2PQ9IMG_1.12.617.6_Stock_boot.img)
HTC_A9_2PQ9IMG_1.12.617.6_Stock_recovery.img
Stock recovery for Unlocked edition (1.12.617.6)
Save this file in your fastboot folder
Boot to DOWNLOAD mode
Flash using fastboot (fastboot flash recovery HTC_A9_2PQ9IMG_1.12.617.6_Stock_recovery.img)

The system image backup. Download it to your computer, unzip it and copy the contents to the TWRP backup folder on your device

I tried to install xposed framework on my phone but it got stuck at the boot screen after installation. I copied the system image backup files into my SD card slot and booted it in recovery (TWRP). I've done everything the instruction says and i'm at the point where I've mounted the "system" folder as read-only. I go to the restore option but i don't see any files or folders to restore from. Please help... Thank you.

Did you copy my folder (2015-11-14--01-18-44_MRA58K_release-keys) into your TWRP backup directory?
Edit: if you don't have a TWRP backup directory, the easiest way to create one is to just run a backup of one of the small partitions (boot/recovery).

It worked... You're the best!!!!

Thanks a a million!! Helped me out of a pinch with mine. Mine would just reboot as soon as any app got root permissions. Restoring your system backup fixed it!

That's the message when you try to restore? Did you go into the mount menu and mount system as read-only (there's a check box underneath all the partitions)?

Hello, somehow I've managed to delete my OS. I'm still unlocked and s-off but when I try to restore with your file it crashed. So I wiped everything and started over. Here's my issue now. I downloaded your file and extracted it to put onto an external sd. Once I did that I made a small backup in TRWP and moved the file to sd/TRWP but when I go to restore its blank with only the small back up showing. I can't put system to read only, it think its because I have no OS. I can click/unclick everything else just not system.

You moved the backup folder under external_sd/TWRP/YOUR_SERIAL_NUMBER/ ? That's where it has to be for TWRP to see it. And that shouldn't prevent you from being able to mount system read-only (unless you're getting an error on /system, in which case you should wipe/format it).

Mate 8 error flashing TWRP, plz help

Hi,
Today I just started rooting my mate 8,
Everything worked fine as I was able to easily unlock the boot loader free ,but when it came to flash twrp.img file in cmd it started showing errors, I downloaded almost 5 6 img files but nothing is going on, it shows 'cannot load twrp.img file', :/ I hv spent like almost 2 hours flashing nd searching for answer but their is no thread with suitable answer, many people have this problem, Plz help.

u either have to put the twrp image file into the same directory as your ADB/fastboot installation or navigate to the respective folder location via the recovery flash command

I hv download the trwp black and blue image file, now when I click to extract it in winzip or winrar, itsay the archive is either of unknown format or dAmaged.
Edit: So today after some hardwork I was able to flash the twrp.img file, then I format my device through it, everything worked fine, but when the home screen appeared it was very simple and sort of very 'BASIC', I went to 'THEMES' icon on my mate 8 but their were no themes like Mocha etc, what should I do now? I want my old themes back, is their any way?
