[Q] Help with installing ROM - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I am having difficulty installing new rom. I am currently using cwm 5.0.4 which I is old version but cannot figure out how to upgrade as ROM manager does not suppot my device I747M. I also tried using twrp but with both the recoveries it gives me error md5 sum not found. Can anyone suggest a solution please..

You have signature verification enabled; in TWRP you would go to Settings and uncheck "signature verification". (I'm not sure how you would do that in CWM.)

NO thats not the reason. I have unchecked signature verificartion still it shows failed.. N e other solution?

Installation aborted

Alright ive been trying now for a few days to flash a new cm7 nightly. Ive tried a few things, diffrent versions of cwm an tried via rom manager (install rom from sd card), tried fake flash a recovery and flashing .img recovery but i always get the same error.
Something like "finding package, opening package, cant open /sdcard/"romname", installation aborted"
Does anyone know of an easy way to fix this?
I want a new rom or atleast a newer nightly

In CWM it'll be "toggle signature verification" I had this problem once and that was the solution!

I had the same issue a while ago, re-downloading the ROM zip worked for me
Sent from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
Yeah re-downloading the ROM was best fix for me, I remember it did it twice or three times before one actually worked.. alternatively you could always flash a different recovery (properly not fake flash) and see how that goes.
To make sure the download is complete, check the md5sum of the downloaded file in case you have one to compare. Otherwise, you could ask in the corresponding thread for it.
i flashed the newest cwm i found and still got the same problem, i've downloaded about 10 times but i always get the same error.
But i how do i find out the md5sum?
hmm.. try the recovery from my signature, flash it via fastboot.
Nothing worked so far.
Will try RA-Desire CM recovery when i get home ...

E: No MD5 file found for...

Can someone please let me know what I'm missing. I'm rooted, and have even flashed a couple ROMs successfully but most of them will fail to install withan error saying "E: No MD5 file found for [insert whatever ROM]. I'm running TWRP recovery (v.2.3.3.1)

In the settings (either in "advanced" or on the install menu) on TWRP you can choose to verify the MD5 sum. I believe that if you uncheck that option it should work.
Let me know if this works!

It's not really an error, TWRP just checks to see if there's a corresponding md5 file with the md5 checksum for whatever it is that you're flashing
You can flash any rom perfectly fine without it, but I would make sure that you check the md5sum against the one that the ROM thread or ROM download site gives you

Thanks! But I can't seem to even do my first flash! I noticed in any of the ROMS I download for some reason it does not pull the MD5 file. I have downloaded from here XDA and other sites, and android forums. I don't get it. this should be fairly easy according to all the research I have done even before my first attempt.
no md5 file--please help
can someone help me. I am fairly new at custom rom work, but I rooted my galaxy note 3 (Verizon) using kingo, and installed safestrap (latest version) and attempted to install cm11 but while installing it does a md5 file check and says no md5 file found. when I reboot, the Samsung screen comes up and then it goes and stays black. I have to pull battery and go back to stock rom. I have tried reformatting my ext. storage and reinstall..no go. please help. thank you very much in advance.

I'm experiencing the same issue.
L710 currently Slimbean, updating to Slimkat 4.4.2 I get the fail for the MD5
I have TWRP 2.6.0.0
I don't see any uncheck MD5 option only in settings and these are already unchecked.
When flashing back to Slimbean 4.3 I get the error
E: error opening '/data/lost + found'
E: error no such file or directory
But it still passes and I'm on 4.3

It finally worked!
I updated TWRP to the latest 2.6.3.1 and Slimkat flashed with no problems.
This new setup took me for a loop, wasn't expecting it. After all said and done, I am running. :good: :good:

I am trying to flash dolby. The flash is successful but the app icon doesn't appear on the screen. In the recovery log it says md5 file not found. I've tried flashing viper too but the condition is the same. Please help.

I also have this problem on my galaxy alpha sm-g850f I'm running TWRP 2.8.7.0 it says "no Md5 file found" can someone help me

4.4.1 Verification failing.

I downloaded the OTA update for my flo (nexus 7 wifi 2013). Checked the md5 checksum and it passes. tried to install it via asb sideload. Unlocked bootloader, stock recovery, stock system image and it says "whole-file verification", "signature verification failed", "installation aborted.
Im at at my wits end why? Everything is ****ing stock and I have re-imaged everything to ****ign stock to be sure and haven't been able to solve this for the last hour.
Any help or insight would be appreciated.
Update: Yes, I've searched this forums and others and most people come up with "its probably a corrupt download". And it is not. Also, tried iinstalled it with TWRP 2.6.3.1 , it still aborts, albeit with a different error (cant recall).

You mentioned that it's not corrupt, but have you verified that the file isn't corrupt via something like an MD5 hash? There are numerous programs you can grab from google to do this.
The MD5 for the copy I downloaded from google: ce344ae6d5d2f74f80c9009947c9cbe9
That really should be the only reason you get that error in my experience...if you could find out what the TWRP log says that would help as well.
WHy not just go the rooted route and install this Stock Rooted 4.4.1 - KOT49E - Official Google OTA! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558756

I want this stock without root. I guess, it is an option, but then I'd have to unroot it?

Does it not say where the verification failed? It checks each system file that needs to be patched one by one and when it gets to one that's been modified it aborts the update, whenever this happens for me it says exactly which file it failed on
Nope

Issue installing new ROMS in SGH-M919

Just to provide all the information I have on hand, I have the
T-Mobile SGH-M919
android version 4.3
baseband version M919UVUEMK2
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.4.7
My issue is that regardless of what rom I attempt to download i get the error below. Specifically, I've tried to download virginROM 2.3, which seems to be compatible with my device. From what I understand status 7 is in place to keep you from flashing an incompatible rom and so I'm not too sure how to proceed from here. Any and all help would be appreciated.

I just ran into this a few minutes ago using Philz Touch. The solution I found was under the install zip menu, you should see "Don't Allow Old update-binary. It should have a check-mark; simply untick that option and try again.

I'm using CWM and I don't see the option to check "donm't allow old update-binary." When I turn toggle signature verification off I get

and then get prompted to ask if i want to install an untrusted package. I attempted to download and apply the new 4.4.2 Google Edition by Davnh, haven't tried TWCP yet but i feel like it should still be doable via CWM.

Turns out I have been trying to root my s4 mini for hours now, but without success. I got up to the step of booting into CWM, however, I do not see a "install from ZIP" option. The closest option to it that I see is "apply update from external storage". Though, if I go and select the "S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip" file, I get the following error:

boot into cwm recovery & flash it - https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
You haven't installed a "custom recovery". From what you've described it sounds like your using stock recovery which can't flash custom zips.

Looks like you are absolutely right. I have no idea why is that though. I have done the process of flashing the md5 file through Odin and according to it, with "success". However, it looks like it did not install. Why could that be?! Maybe because I am using Windows 10?
Thanks a lot for the help.

That could be an issue. Do a Google search for Samsung Odin windows 10. Also make sure your anti virus is off. I know their were a lot of issues with Windows 8 so..

You were absolutely right...I just tried it on a Windows 8 PC and I got it working on the very first try...
It is crazy, because according to Odin, it shows as "success" when I try to flash the file, even though it does not work.
Thanks a lot for the heads up. I am sure it will affect other people, though.
