Sorry for beginner-level question...
Via the wiki page below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com
/wiki/HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
I have downloaded the file vision.hboot-0.84.2000.zip but the result of the md5sum is not what is shown on the wiki page: 2CE1BDD5E4C1119CCFCECB938710D742...
Could anyone tell me where is the problem?
Is the server of the zip file still trust-able?
I use my browser plugin to check md5sum and it works fine with other files I downloaded...
Thank you for your help in advance!
Possible the download was corrupted. Re-download and check it again.
I just took a quick look.
I downloaded it twice and checked md5 sum twice.
D8F61830F104FF5D48B855BBE0D95F56 *vision.hboot-0.84.2000.zip
File size: 221,206 bytes.
Edit: Here are the md5 checksum for the HBoot download from the cyanogen wiki and xda wiki
D8F61830F104FF5D48B855BBE0D95F56 *vision.hboot-0.84.2000(1).zip
D8F61830F104FF5D48B855BBE0D95F56 *vision.hboot-0.84.2000(2).zip
Edit 2: This is generated with Fast Sum 1.7 from Kirill Zinov, and my HDD has fiile compression on so my md5 maybe different that yours but nevertheless, the files seem to be trust-able.
My guess: The xda wiki folks and the cyanogen folks forgot to check the check sum, or maybe it's just crappy software generate crappy md5 SUM
My advise:
1/ go ahead and use it, or
2/ use cynogenmod guide. I personally used this guide. They're the same anyways.
Cyanogen root guide for the Desize Z
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HT...26_the_Engineering_HBoot_for_the_HTC_Desire_Z
for the xda wiki, its the md5sum for the .img inside the zip. not the zip.
The cm wiki has the zip of the zipfile, as gu1dry doesn't want to add the extra instruction.

Thank you. I have got D8F61830F104FF5D48B855BBE0D95F56 too!
Oh, I see... Thank you for the info!
I don't post much so was unable to place this under the proper thread.
None of the four mirrors for ParanoidAndroid 1.992 give me the correct md5 hash after downloading and they all produce corrupt archives that I can't open with 7zip (without doing anything fancy). I am also unable to copy the zip over to the phone... on Win7 it gives me the error "Cannot copy item. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." although I can copy other files to the device both before and after receiving the error message without problem.
The md5 provided with the download claims it should be: e63eda63858fb5fb4255d1dac84263e7
md5 of the file downloaded from the main server is: bf1e276bed2ef101d7cf662b0b0737f9
md5 of mirror 1 is: bf48c44a07055a5a1ec06f5c2e4bb0dd
md5 of mirror 2 is: 0ac7ffb779117b803646006a8c408dc4
md5 of mirror 3 is: 47b6d9c1c49eca3cf033e30f49303e61
Each of the mirrors gives a file with a different md5. I am downloading from beta dot androidfilehost dot com/?fid=9390077933525139513 and using the 3 mirrors listed on the right side of that page. Again... can't post links apparently. What am I supposed to do if I just need to read threads for the most part and only comment every once in a blue moon? I've flashed dozens of roms provided by the wonderful devs here and most of them either work without a hitch or I'm able to figure out how to make them work without requiring assistance so I only have to post a comment on those rare cases like this one where I can't even download the rom.
Might as well turn this into the Paranoid Android nightly thread...

I'm pretty sure you are clicking on adware. You should only have to click on the big green Arrow to download.

Fast replies and from the developers themselves. That's what I love about XDA.
Hopefully I'll be able to upload the screenshot otherwise my description will have to suffice.
On my first attempt to download the file, these are the steps I took:
Went to the PA thread in the developers section of XDA
Under "Instructions" I clicked on the link for "Install ROM: Here"
This took me to the Team Nocturnal forum with a nearly identical post where I again clicked on "Install ROM: Here" under the Instructions section
This took me to http : // beta dot androidfilehost dot com/?fid=9390077933525139513
I clicked on the green arrow beside where it says "Download pa_d710_1.992_2SEP2012 dot zip" (had to replace . with dot)
At the download dialog box I saved the file to my hard drive
Dragged the file onto the md5sums application which opened a cmd prompt window revealing the md5 of the file
I later attempted to download the file using all four alternative options:
Team Nocturnal
mirrors
(CA) Mirror #3
(IL) Mirror #2
(IL) New Mirror #1
(UT) Main Server
I'll try again when I'm at home and on a better connection but if anyone else could verify that they get the correct md5 from a fresh download that would ease my mind and I could then concentrate on figuring out what's wrong with my system/connection that I would get a bad download.

Bingo!
While it took a few attempts (which is why I originally went with DownThemAll) I was finally able to finish a download using the native firefox download utility and not only do the md5 hashes match but the file opens with 7zip and copies to the sdcard on the phone.
Mission successful, much thanks for all your help.
Kbizzle, you may want to add this note to your thread... the site you use to host the zip files does not appear to agree with DownThemAll and possibly other 3rd party download clients.
Cheers.
I just recently picked up a evo 4g wimax from a buddy of mine that recently updated to a gs3 and I am trying to achieve unlocked/s-off. I am using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771755 and The zip file I downloaded from the thread contains a pc36img, The only thing though is every time I download from that thread the pc36img is corrupt and I can not find a download link that is working anymore. I did find this other guide http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...18-HBOOT-with-HTCDev-com-No-More-Watermark!-) that has a few pc36img files available to be downloaded but I tried http://d-h.st/XJX that one and the same thing happened, the downloaded zip file is corrupt. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?

If you mean that RootEvo4Gnew.zip file:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/RootEvo4GNew.zip
The PC36IMG.zip file that you are looking for is inside the RootEvo4GNew.zip file. Right now, it just needs time to upload.

Like I said, I know where its at, and everytime i download that zip file with the pc36img from the thread and extract the files everything is fine except for the pc36img which is somehow corrupt.
I tried your download link for the zip file and I just get sent to a dropbox 404 page.

I am confused as to why you linked me to that thread, I am looking for a specific pc36img that will downgrade me and allow me to achieve s-off. The only thing available in that link is a recovery img which I do not need.

Well, I know that.
That's why I said in the post that it needed time to upload. It should be OK now.

Downloaded from a different computer and still the same issue, file is corrupt. Trying to check the md5 value and it does not even give me a md5 at all matching or not. I am going to go to a friends house and try downloading it again.
Ok, I have tried from a 3 different computers, my tablet and my htc thunderbolt and everytime it ends up in a corrupt/invalid .zip file. Can anyone link me to a known good working file so I can downgrade my hboot and get s-off?

You downloaded from 3 different computers, probably through the same connection, but I believe you tried to run them from the same computer that failed every time, just a guess.
Just tried 2 of the links:
http://d-h.st/XJX
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/RootEvo4GNew.zip
and I'm currently in the process of trying the 3rd.
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/H...otEvo4GNew.zip from your link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1771755
They work just fine. The problem appears to be on your end. All three downloads are OK.
And if that's not the case, here is the same file that I have been using since last year that others have downloaded. So if this one fails as well, then yes, there is definitely something wrong on your end.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/P....15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_220182_signed.zip
Also, I'm going to downgrade and S-OFF my old Evo with the same files just to verify that they are OK.

Stop trying to open the zip files and you'll be fine . The ones in my thread are fine, as was mentioned.
In the past with my thunderbolt and downloading the same files I have noticed if I can not open the zip file and see what is in it then it will not properly flash. But just for the sake of argument I will do it your way.

If you have to you could always download the froyo RUU and pull the rom.zip from it, rename to PC36IMG.zip and flash
To do this, run the RUU but do not click anything after it opens
With the RUU still open, open a "Run..." window (WindowsKey + R) and type in "%temp%" then enter to go to your temporary files folder
Sort the files by date modified and go into the most recent folders, find a zip called "rom.zip" and copy that to your desktop
Close the RUU, rename the "rom.zip" to "PC36IMG.zip" and you can then flash it through bootloader

Yep, the downloads do work. There is nothing wrong with any of the files. Phone went from 2.18, S-ON to 6.16, S-OFF without any issues from those same downloads.

I also forgot to mention that before trying to open them to see if it was corrupt or not I try to check the md5 of the zip file, it does not even give me a md5 it also says the files are corrupt. I will try again though
I'm having the same problem. I just finished repairing my old EVO and looking to downgrade it to 2.15. All the links have bad files. Tried D/L from work, friends house, parents, and to my SGS3. Always get the same message..."cant open the folder... zipped folder is invalid." I've been to numerous sites about this and i'm always directed to the same files. This isn't a rare issue, it's a lot of people. There's something wrong with those files.

No, there isn't. The zip files are encrypted, so most zip programs will throw an error if you try to open them. They should not be unzipped. The files from my post have always and still work fine. Just follow the instructions and stop trying to open the zip!
NOTE: Some browsers will try to automatically open the zip file when download is complete. In that case, try a different browser.
No go, sir. Opening the zip or not, the fact is it doesn't work. I have a few of these files and none of them are recognized when boot loader is brought back up to flash the file. It scans the zip, can't find file, image or anything. Its the same thing no matter which one I use. I'll keep looking for a good procedure and a decent download.

There's nothing wrong with Captain's files or the pc36img.zip files given on this page. They work just fine as usual. I just downloaded one (again) and confirmed it.
Is your phone S-Off? Did you flash a mtd-eng.img file to your misc partition, so that it will downgrade?
If you answer no to both of these questions, then the problem is not necessarily the zip files, but is likely on your end. And if you answered no to both of those questions, then the zip files are not likely going to work for you.
And, if one of your answers is yes, then it could be a problem with your sdcard. Sometimes they are full, or not formated correctly, or have some other issue, which will also cause the files to fail. You cannot always assume that just because a file does not work the way you expect it to, that it is necessarily something wrong with that file.
The link below is of the site im talking about, i rooted my note 4 no problem before with this and im doing someone else phone. I downloaded the root files, go to extract and i get error and it wont do it. tried it 3 times on 2 computers same result. suggestions?
had to put a space before (.com) so it didnt show up as a link.

Open the archive with 7zip or winwar and drag the files to an folder/location titled appropriately, like root or Odin under a main folder like SM-N910.
Thanks, i will try that when i get home. Just odd it worked fine when i did mine and now it says its corrupt.
No go with 7zip.
Chain Fire has a policy against redistributing his work. When I go to his thread and follow the link, I end up with the link below.

Also, no md5 to verify a good download. I'd suggest the proper link from this thread and use a PC to download. Maybe the source or bad download is what you're dealing with? You did try open archive and select all, drag to suggested folder, right? Don't recommend extraction; just double-click Odin, once folder is created, to execute and pick the file as directed in the thread below.
