the checksum is a way to make sure the file your flashing isnt corrupt. its not that important with roms, but things like radio's and hboot's, a corrupt one could brick your phone

so if i wanna flash my radio, i should make sure the checksum of the radio matched with the rom i flashed?

no, the checksum is file specific you compare the checksum of the file you have downloaded with the checksum that is posted with it, if they are the same the file is not corrupted.

oh i get it now, haha i thought i should put the checksum file in the sd, lol. btw, how do i know the checksum? is there something like a checksum viewer?

(RADIOS) **SPRINT** CDMA Basebands-Updated 09-10-2012

DO NOT FLASH THESE ON GSM Nexus S! These are for SPRINT PHONES ONLY!!!!
FLASH these thru Custom Recovery
Writing the Radio always comes with risk so please be careful.

Flash thru custom recovery
ALTERNATIVE METHOD: Fastboot
Rename to radio.img
Flash in fastboot using...
fastboot flash radio radio.img
*If your having problems after the radio flash......go to dialer:
Type in *#*#72786#*#*, put your msl in, and let it re-provision
*Make sure the radio.img you are flashing is in your \android\tools
**Md5 sum is for the radio.img inside the zip, not the .zip file itself.
Forgive my ignorance/noobishness, but what are the benefits in flashing a radio? Are these optimized in some way??
This is exactly what i need to fix my semi brick..is there any way this can be put into a update.zip file to beable to be flashed in stock recovery?
You da man snandlal. I'm going to try D720SPRKC9 with GRJ22. Will report back.
Just noticed something here...
Older radio is 4.94MB & newer radio is 155kb. Seems a little off to me. I won't be flashing any radios until I get some reassurance.

Good so you understand then
Uncle Jimmy says hello
Wasn't trying to bash you man. I've just never heard of flashable radio zips so different in file size.
no your correct 12many, the radios should be about 15MBs each. are you sure you copied the radio.img file and not the patch file from the ota?
Both the .img's were dumped. Nothing came from OTA

That's fine. I have flashed them both and i know they work so I'm content with both of the zips.
When posting radios you HAVE to also post a MD5 Checksum since radios are the things that can brick a device.

Sorry, since no one answered me, I need to ask again:
What is the point in flashing a radio? If it's risky and could brick a device, what benefits does a non-stock radio image provide to the user?
they are both stock, just one is newer. a newer radio offers sometimes better signal, better battery life etc etc

[HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter (T-Mobile MD5 Problem)

First, here's to you mrRobinson for your effort in creating the rooted images :laugh:
I would have replied in this thread directly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687, but I do not currently have enough comments to post in the development section.
I am attempting to download the T-mobile rooted imaged, but have not been able to successfully verify the MD5 Sum of the downloaded image. The last several comments in the thread have had the same problem.
I downloaded the rooted image from two different locations, the 1st from the link given by mrRobinson in the OP, and the 2nd from the dropbox link given by deeznutz1977 in post #176. Both downloaded images have the identical MD5, so it is not a download problem, but the MD5 they have does not match the MD5 in the OP.
I created the following MD5 checksum for both downloaded images:
057D7D1C39DD415EE9091297C53B8CEB
Where the checksum in the OP is:
c2bae57ad0dcfecc8c07b38d0e8da506
Can anyone who has successfully flashed this T-mobile image confirm that the MD5 checksum of the image they used matches that in the OP or does it match the MD5 I have provided?
Yep, I get the same MD5 as you 057D7D1C39DD415EE9091297C53B8CEB for the root66_TMO_T999UVALEM.7z file. I was able to unzip and flash the image successfully though. Just to make sure I have restored default ODIN .tar from tmobile and rooted with the other method that does trigger the flash counter.

I got the same md5 and everything worked fine.

[Q] TWRP 2.3.1.0 TAR through Odin MD5 error?

Hi all,
Trying to figure out why every tarball I download from Goo.IM for the I747M d2can gives a checksum error when trying to apply it through Odin. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks!
Ate you changing the name of the tar file before you try to Odin it?

Unfortunately learned that the hard way with CWM backups, but no I downloaded it directly and put it right onto C:\, so its not a renaming problem. Thanks for the suggestion though!

[Q] Flash Stock Firmware TWRP

I'm trying to flash back to the Stock firmware with TWRP. I have the zip file on my SD card but when I try to flash it is reporting that it is unable to open the zip. I confirmed that the file is downloaded correctly and not corrupt as I am able to access/extract it on my PC without issue. Any ideas on how to get past this?
Its probobly an ODIN zip not a CWM zip. Extract the zip and if it has a .pda in it then you have to use ODIN on your PC

An MD5 is just an integrity check file. What is the name of the zip and where did you get it?

The name of the Zip file is
SGH-I317_ATT_I317UCAMA4_I317ATTAMA4.zip
I downloaded it from a couple locations that listed it as the stock AT&T firmware for this phone. Each location same error.

Im pretty sure that the one you downloaded is just zipped factory firmware and not flashable zip. You will need to extract tar file inside if there is one and flash Via Odin. If you are using it for att there is one that you can flash via twrp from link below.

Ah thanks for the help, I think thats my problem. Testing with the link you provided. Thanks.
I wonder why we see a lot of people asking questions here about install errors from files they got at some random (and often unheard of) sites around the Internet? Don't people know that xda has all the files they could need?

This is the right firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862
Check the MD5 of your download. I have a link to an MD5 checker in the OP; compare that to the MD5 on Android File Host.
