Redownload the iso or what ever file you need. Make sure you deleat the old file and clear cash just to be sure, also do check md5 again

Exactly that, that shows the download you've done is corrupt

This is not a case of S-OFF only supporting anything.
This is to do with the intergity of the file you have downloaded.
If your downloaded file does not EXACTLY match the MD5 checksum on the website - DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT try and flash it, you will more than likely brick your phone.

Burn the CD at the lowest speed possible to avoid errors. Might be a bad CD, not a bad download.

The MD5 checksum is on the download not the actual CD - if the download doesn't match then don't burn the CD

[Q] Checking Md5 sums

I'm a noob when it comes to Linux and it's commands and I'm currently dual booting with ubuntu (windows installer) and when it says check md5 sums to see if they match i have no idea, how am i suppose to find the md5 sum for my phone because i have no idea. Detailed instructions is greatly appreciated. My phone is currently rooted running oxygen RC 7 s-off stock table.
Thanks,
Ryan

Why would you want to find the md5 of the phone? Since your S-off and running oxygen I'm gone guess you want to change hboot, just download the hboot image, then open a terminal and type "md5sum "with the space, and drag and drop your hboot image in to the terminal window. It might add " to the location of the hboot image so remove those.

You need to check the md5 of the file you've downloaded to make sure it matches the original file on the website. Google it and you'll find some freeware programs that will do the job
md5 is nothing to do with your phone

Let me google that for you.

yeah GOOGLE is your friend

Command name is 'md5sum'. This utility usually comes built-in with linux (most distros should have this..). Go to a terminal and type in:
'md5sum <filename>'
Replace <filename> with the file you want to check and make sure you are in the directory which holds that file.
EDIT: I'm not sure what you meant when you said "find the MD5 sum of my phone"...this is the only way I know of for checking MD5 sums.

In very simple terms:
MD5 provides a checksum for an arbitary file. It's just a string of characters like a long PIN code.
You can use it to guarantee that the file that's been downloaded is identical to the original, i.e. not corrupted on the way. So for any file that has an associated MD5 sum. You download the file and run a MD5 utility on that file on your system and check the MD5 value output against the original one.
There are many other checksum utilities available but MD5 is the one most used currently.

Is it a zip (that doesn't have a tar inside) or is it a tar file? Zip will most likely be in CWM, tar is always ODIN.

zip. it would even allow me to open it either. gave me a bunch of errors

i just tried to go thru cwm and it aborted installation. the error says its md5 file inside

What does the file structure look like inside of the zip?

i have downloaded 2 different files that are supposedly 2.3.6 and none of them are working. i have a zip version i got from sammobile.com that i think that is password locked but only gives me an error when i try to extract it. i can open it and theres a md5 file in there
the other one is a rar file and i dont know what to do with it.
i have darkside digital warfare rom but i cannot get it to install correctly thru cwm. i gets to darth vader loading screen blue line fills up then flashes samsung and turns off and thats it.
i just want to get back to stock and take the back and start over with a new one

It's a .tar.md5 file extension?

in the type column just says md5. it doesnt say tar anywhere

Yes they are files to use through odin inside a zip file...
And they are password protected ... You must extract the zip first , then use the file in odin ...
usually samfirmware.com, sammobile.com or something like that ...

thanks for your help guys. i will try tomorrow when i get home from work. i have juggernaut running pretty good on it now

sounds like you have an incomplete dl too

where would i put in the password on the sammobile stock rom? i will redownload it to see if changes

[Q] md5sum of the hboot file don't match!

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!

installing custom rom involving zip file and md5 file?

ok so im having problem trying to flash C-rom series. How do i flash this rom?
There are two parts that we are suppose to download, the zip file and md5 file.
how do i go ahead and flash this?
i went to recovery mode and tried to install the zip file but didnt work, it said md5 file is missing.
are we suppose to merge those files together first? and create new zip file and then flash it?

Ive seen a lot of roms not include an md5sum. But usually they will still flash. Check the settings in recovery to make sure its not requiring it. The md5 isnt an extra file, its a value based on a hash of the file itself which is them embedded into the files properties if im not mistaken. Its done to ensure file/download integrity. Anyway, you should be able to turn it off somewhere in recovery.
