[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

a little lost

ok i am trying to put the aeon rom on my infuse, it is rooted with cwm installed. i downloaded the rom from this site , went thru the whole google drive thing and all.ok it downloaded in winrar format , so i created a folder and renamed it zip and put on desktop and then transfered to internal memory on phone. ok i rebooted to cwm , did the wipes like it said then went to install zip from sd, it found the zip and when i selected it it showed all the files in the folder, data,meta-inf,scripts sd card,system ,updates and install busybox. now i am lost as to what to do . do i select these 1 by 1 or did i screw up somewhere before hand.

The file you downloaded should be a zip. Not sure about all the shuffling you did, but you should be able to place the zip you downloaded on your internal sd and flash from recovery. You should not have to do a single thing to the ROM when downloaded other than flash.
Edit...sounds like you were unable to flash the ROM because it was a folder, as opposed to a zip file. Don't pull stuff out of the package, just try changing it from..rar to .zip..then flash.

**** , it keeps downloading as a winrar file , anyway to fix that

ok i did away with my winrar and now have winzip, is that what your talking about or is zip file different, ok looks like i got it now thx alot for the help

Glad you got it. For future flashing, the package you download should be all you need to flash in recovery. No need to pull out files or recreate zips. The devs try to make it easy as possible.

I think your winrar/winzip is just the program.associated with he .zip...i think it was always a .zip...as winzip is not a file...winrar is not a file either...they are just two different programs...

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?

[how to]flash .md5 recoveries by flashify[or] any alternative app

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE AND YOU CANNOT LATER BLAME ME.
Hey guys
This is my first post. I dont have experience in writing these guides but if u like it then give a thanks for sure.
I have found many people facing this problem that there is no .img recovery file for their device and they can't/dont wanna flash it by pc.
In such a case theres no need to worry as this is android and almost everything is possible.
Required things:
1.Root acces
2. 7zip(or any alternative)
3.Flashify(or any alternative)
4.Recovery file of your device(the .md5 one)
Steps:
1.First of all download the recovery file for your device and transfer it to your pc if you downloaded it in mobile.
2.Now install 7zip in your pc.
3.Now using this app simply click on the downloaded recovery file(.md5 one) and open it.
4.Now,extract the .img file from there using 7zip.
5.And, you will find the .img file that you were in need for.
6.Now simply copy it to your device and using flashify flash it.
7.Voila! U have a custom recovery now.
Note:To be bootloop free using terminal is the best way to flash a file.
How to use flashify?

N920TUVU3DPG1 Flashable modem?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has a flashable modem for N920TUVU3DPG1? I ask because I've not found it on the forums here.
Thanks

I'm guessing you're on the new Note 7 ROM? Are you having issues with data syncing? Can't believe no one has repacked the modem and baseband into a flashable zip. If I knew how, I would.

If you guys are talking about the PG1 modem here it is via Odin

I was on it. But I went back to Stock for now. I didn't like the constant disconnection between my smartwatch and the phone. The accessibility services kept shutting off which annoyed me enough.
As for the modem, I restored it via TWRP since I'd backed it up along with the stock software but I don't know if the TWRP restore worked cause the accessibility still glitched (someone told me he flashed the modem and it fixed this).
The data syncing wasn't bad if I remember correctly.... Mind specifying?

No notifications that requires data would sync once the app was closed and swiped from recents. Only texts. When I opened the app I would see the new email, FB notification, etc.

Now that I think of it, this happened for me a lot with the messaging app I used. Also, I use Textra as my default messaging app and out of no where, texts stopped coming in so I didn't know until 4pm that someone texted me at 12:30pm. lol...it was crappy.

link is down anyone have a mirror?

Has anyone flashed just the DPG1 modem and not upgraded the baseband? Can you flash just the modem and still function OK?
If so, does this fix the issue with notifications on the T-Mobile Note 7 port?
Sent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk

I flashed just the modem but it doesnt help with notifications. The only ones that still pop up are sms. Me personally im ok with that until we get a new kernel and fully working tmobile rom with wifi calling and volte.

Hello,
I've been looking to accomplish the exact same thing without having to completely install stock firmware. I followed your guide and it worked perfectly. I wanted to say thank you for taking your time to explain the steps. By chance do you have a kernel you would recommend? I am currently running TEKXodus Ultra Hybrid 13.7 with arter97 build 22. Thank you for any help or advice in advance.
