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!

No MD5 file found
I am having the same issue! this happened on multiple ROMs from various developers, I have tried every thing suggested and verified rooted.

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
I'm sure I'm not the only one that has had this problem. I've never been able to do the update to 4.2 from 4.1.1. After the download and reboot, the phone gives me an error message. AT&T was no help. I rooted my phone last year but I can't remember how I rooted it. Anyway, I want to update to a new stable ROM. My questions are, do I need to update from 4.1 to 4.2, then 4.3 and then 4.4? Or can I go from 4.1 to 4.4? And if someone could direct me to an easy problem-free stable ROM, I would be most grateful!

If your phone is rooted, you could have difficulties getting an OTA update. You could either unroot your phone from the SuperSU app or you could manually do a 2-step update to 4.1.2 and then 4.3. Unrooting should allow your phone take an OTA update if you are currently on a stock ROM. For manual update process, please follow the instructions below ....
1) Go to the first page in the thread below ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2387423
2) Download the 2 zip files under update412.zip and update43.zip respectively to your computer
3) Copy the zip files to a good quality (micro) SD card
4) Place the card in your phone and boot to recovery mode by simultaneously holding down the Volume Up, Home and Power buttons
5) Hold the buttons until you see a blue message flash across the screen. Then release the Power button but continue to hold the Volume Up and Home button until you see the Android image appear. Then release the buttons
6) Use the volume up/down key to scroll to <mount from external storage> and the power button to select
7) Navigate to the first zip file (update412.zip) and install. Wait for installation to finish and your phone to reboot.
8) Complete set up. Check your phone settings. Then power off and reboot to recovery again.
9) Repeat the process for the second update file.
The latest (official) Android version available for the i747 is 4.3 Jelly Bean. Android 4.4 (Kit-Kat) has not been rolled out yet for this phone so if you want the latest stock (official) system, that would be 4.3. If you are looking at a custom ROM, there are quite a few Kit-Kat based ROMs out there.

Usually, you get a status 7 error message when your recovery mode is out of date. Are you using stock recovery or custom recovery? If custom, would you know what version it is?

You shouldn't have any difficulties flashing the zip if you are on stock recovery. Did you verify the MD5 of the zip you downloaded to be sure it downloaded correctly?

What does MD5 stand for?
Earlier today I tried unrooting and downloading OTA but same problem as before....it cuts out early during installation, reboots and I'm left with 4.1.1

The MD5 (or checksum verifier) is an algorithm used to verify the authenticity and integrity of digital files. It is statistically improbable for 2 separately created files to have the same MD5 so verifying the MD5 ascertains that the file downloaded correctly and/or has not altered in any way from the original prior to your download. The download source for the files shows the MD5 of the original files so you can use the MD5 checker tool to verify the ones you downloaded. If the MD5 matches, then the file is OK. Otherwise, it didn't download correctly or may have been altered in some way.
http://winmd5.com/
However, the fact that you are unable to get the OTA update after unrooting suggests there may be a different problem with your device. Possible some security encryptions are preventing updates to the system. I'll suggest you back up your files and try doing a factory reset to return the phone to original settings then try the upgrade process again. Prior to upgrading your firmware, however, I would suggest you take the opportunity to free unlock your phone (if not already done). This can only be done on 4.1.1

Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it. I've been working on this phone all day. I'm still having issues with the phone after doing a factory reset and a hard reset. I unlocked it also. The MD5s matched. It downloads the update, then when it goes to install, it gets to 25% then bypasses the rest. The phone still says its 4.1.1. After I did the factory reset only, when I went to update, it was saying there were no updates available...thats what led me to do the hard reset. I'm ready to throw this thing in the ocean. I thought the hard reset would put it back to just out of the box fresh but I still see old apps in there like SuperSU and Mobile Odin Pro. Perhaps those apps are messing it up? This really has me stumped. When I USB it to my laptop and boot up Kies, it says there are no updates available.
I just wiped the cache partition and did a hard reset again. This time I downloaded the update412.zip from the sdcard and I got the same original error: E:Error in tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 7)

Please don't give up on your phone yet. It isn't that bad yet. The dreaded error message you are getting means that your recovery system is compromised. Also, once rooted, your phone stays that until specifically unrooted. Even a factory reset will not remove SuperSU and Mobile Odin and the definitive solution to un-rooting is to flash a complete stock image. However, you may be able to fix the recovery issue and get updates in a number of ways. First, you could reflash a complete stock 4.1.1 image via Odin. This will update all system partitions including recovery and should deliver a new and working recovery partition. It will also remove root and make it possible to get an OTA update to 4.3JB. You can download the Odin flashable file from Sammobile.com or from the following link ... http://www.4shared.com/get/zAmWJ54J/I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_ATT.html
Unzip and extract the *.tar file and flash via Odin.
The second solution would be to use Mobile Odin or Desktop Odin v3.09 to flash a new recovery partition. You'll need the same *.tar file for UCDLK3 but you'd only need to load the recovery partition. If this is successful, you can try the manual update process again.
The final solution would be to flash custom recovery via Odin and then flash the 4.3JB stock restore image via (custom) recovery. You could do the same 2-step manual update via custom recovery. However, a complete stock restore image is available for 4.3 which can be flashed via custom recovery. Please see the first page of the thread below ...

I finally did get it fixed last night, actually by one of your solutions there. I had googled the error message (status 7) and I found a thread here on XDA where someone said that because I had used Titanium to delete bloatware when I got the phone, I wouldn't be able to update until it looked right out of the box so I downloaded Odin and flashed 4.1.1. again. Thank God I didn't brick the phone with everything I did to it yesterday. LOL It was finally able to flash 4.1.2 then 4.3. Its disturbing all the threads I see going back to 4.1.1 from 4.3. Is there a huge issue? I'm going to try to find a stable KitKat to flash to. Thanks again for your help!

Glad to know it's now working. I think there's more fuss than fact to the 4.3 question. As far as performance and functionality goes, Touchwiz 4.3 is a major improvement on the older Jelly Bean versions. The main problem, of course, is that the bootloader can not be safely downgraded once you are on 4.3. This is only a problem if you need to free unlock your phone which is only possible on 4.1.1. Otherwise, you can safely flash a KitKat based custom ROM. I would only advise you stick with a stable like you've said and be sure it's one that won't try to mess with your bootloader. Most custom ROMs don't but it wouldn't hurt to make sure.

Do you have a recommendation for a stable Kit Kat rom?
I am trying to upgrade to 4.3 on an unlocked, rooted SGH-I747 that I am using internationally (in New Zealand now); however, when I tried to flash a clean 4.1.1 so I could update to 4.3, doing a factory reset and cache wipe, I successfully load the firmware with Odin but then it won't boot past the blue pulsing samsung logo I think I need to flash a new recovery partition, as you suggest below, but I don't know how to do that.

You could have installed directly from recovery without first trying to flash a fresh 4.1.1. This would have only been necessary if your 4.1.1 wasn't working right in some way. Try booting into recovery and then doing a wipe/reset. If your phone boots successfully after this, then try the 2-step update -first to 4.1.2 and then to 4.3 via the instructions posted earlier in this thread. Please let me know if this works.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried wiping again from recovery but I get errors (see this thread I started for the details).

Since you are apparently successful with Odin, can you try flashing an original stock image rather than the modified (pre-rooted) version you are using. You may download the original version from sammobile.com or do an internet search for it. The zip should be close to 1Gb in size but please make sure to verify the MD5 prior to flashing.

You could have installed directly from recovery without first trying to flash a fresh 4.1.1. This would have only been necessary if your 4.1.1 wasn't working right in some way. Try booting into recovery and then doing a wipe/reset. If your phone boots successfully after this, then try the 2-step update -first to 4.1.2 and then to 4.3 via the instructions posted earlier in this thread. Please let me know if this works.

I did try an original stock, originally. I only tried the rooted stock after the original didn't work (got stuck with pulsing blue samsung logo). I'll try the one from sammobile.com (but I think that's where I got it the first time) and report back after I get off work late tonight.

Did you ever figure this out? I"m having the same issue.
Can't flash a ROM on Tab 3 7.0 t210r
I am rooted, first thing I did after purchase.
Am currently running 4.1.2, build jzo54k.t210rueamk1
I have flashed PhilZ Touch 6, 6.44.9, ClockworkMod 6.0.4.9 from here:
https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/lt02wifi/
I have tried to flash the following ROMs:
Stockrom Series Ultimate Edition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489395
RocketTab v3.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507772
Flash fails with:
Installation aborted (bad), can't open <path to zip file><name of zip>
This happens after a factory reset, wipe data, cache.
I have a Samsung S3 that I have rooted, and then flashed many times. Before that I had an HTC EVO. I am not new to the process, but apparently I am missing something here.
Got any suggestions?
Which Odin Version you are used to install The Recovery? Try an other Version.
Is your Rom on The micro Sdcard ? If you use Philz so is The max capacity 32 GB, if you use TWRP so is max 64 GB supported.

I didn't use Odin to flash the recovery. Downloaded the zip and flashed via recovery.
I have tried with the ROM on the external and internal SD. Same results.
32GB SD.

How do you rooted your Tab?
With Stockrecovery you can not flash a Rom or Recovery.
Flash Philz or TWRP With Odin, reboot to The New flashen Recovery , than you can install a Rom.
All information for The right steps you will find at dev Sektion.

Sounds like the rom download is bad. Check the md5 of the rom before trying to install.
Kind of success. I downloaded the same version of PhilZ, for Odin, on my laptop.
I put the tablet in download mode and flashed the recovery with Odin.
I downloaded the ROM again (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-stockrom-kitkat-version-16-08-2014-t2849742). This is one I had tried before. This time to my laptop and copied it to the tablet. The other times, I had downloaded the ROM directly onto the tablet.
While it was in the process of flashing, there were some video anomolies.
I rebooted the tablet into recovery and flashed the ROM. It hung on SAMSUNG for a very long time after the flash and reboot. I powered it off and rebooted. It booted completely this time, but not without some issues. The first thing was when the message pops up that Android is optimizing apps. That bar was all screwy looking, snowy. (see attached image)
Once I got to the lock screen and entered the pin, the screen "fractured", pieces shifted around, and the tablet locked up. I wish I had taken a picture of it. Never seen anything like it.
I had not done a data wipe yet. I did a data wipe, rebooted, entered the pin, tablet locked up again.
I then was going to restore the backup I made before the flashing. It wouldn't restore because of an MD5 mismatch. I had restored this backup previously with no problem.
I restored an older backup and then spent a couple of hours getting everything back to the level of the now broken backup.
Flash nolekat and all went fine.
I've had problems as well. I normally flash via a recovery. At times I'll have an md5 mismatch or it just doesn't work; I've even backed up a working ROM only to find out I can't restore the same backup. Seems like a hit or miss with me
I tried flashing NoleKat and it failed on me too.

At one of your post you write after flashing you must put in the Pin?
So you have make not a clean install or factory reset, you done a wipe cache and wipe dalvik.
You must do a clean install if you come from different Roms or Version.

[Q] Need help in solving "Unfortunately, settings have stopped working" error
Problem: My unrooted SGH-I747 model AT&T GS3 recently gave me this error whenever trying to access the settings. The error shows up even after a full factory reset and I can no longer access my phone. Stuck a little after the language selection in the beginning stages of the setup.
Attempted fixes: Obviously, the initial factory reset. Then clearing the cache + factory reset.
After those failed to work, I tried to flash to a AT&T stock rom from this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33570269#post33570269) using Odin. I tried to use the first row of downloads but the first row but it did not have a MD5 file, so I used the second row of downloads instead but this rom failed to install. My guess is that it may be too old of a version.
I would appreciate any help.
[SOLVED]
The problem may have arose from a critical error in the phone's software that had affected the OS system of the phone. I resolved the issue by flashing a new custom OS (cyanogenmod) to my phone. These are the steps that I took:
1. Installing Odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722686)
2. Rooting my cellphone with CFAutoRoot using Odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725839)
3. Installing a custom recovery TWRP -- highly recommended very user friendly (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1793224)
4. Installing a new custom rom through TWRP-- used Cyanogen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778270)
5. Installing gapps (http://opengapps.org/?api=5.1&variant=nano)
6. Identifying the correct bootloader by downloading and installing Samsung Phone Info by vndnguyen through the Play Store.
7. Installing the correct bootloader and modem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/rooted-ucufnj1-stock-rom-t2985006)
Please refer to respective installation guides for more instructions regarding installation of any new software.
I hope this helps anyone who may have run into the same problem.
Before attempting to flash anything, confirm the bootloader on your phone. An easy way to determine if the bootloader is 4.3 or newer, boot into download mode. If you see anything about warranty bit, your phone has at least a 4.3 bootloader and no attempts should be made to flash anything from sammobile.com.
If you have a 4.3 or newer bootloader, I recommend flashing a custom recovery such as TWRP, and then flashing a stock ROM from recovery.
First off, thank you for the reply audit!
Now I have officially rooted my phone using CF-Autoroot and have installed TWRP. I have also confirmed that the bootloader is at least 4.3 because it does show the warranty bit.
Which of the stock roms are compatible with this bootloader?
Do you want to stay on a stock ROM? If not, you could flash a custom ROM such as cm12.1 using TWRP. Once you have flashed a custom ROM, you can look under settings to determine the baseband on the phone which is another clue as to which bootloader is on your phone.

Just to be clear, cm12.1 is the cyanogenMod nightly?
Yup. If you flash it, your baseband may be unknown which tells me you are probably not running a 4.4.2 bootloader and modem.

I'll try it out and see if I can get past the language screen this time.
Got the latest Cyanogenmod Zip file onto my phone. Tried flashing it through TWRP with the install option but it failed.
Log reads that no MDS file was found, detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform msm_sdcc.1/byname system. Can't install this package on top of incompatible data.
CM12.1 won't have an md5 file. You're trying to install cm12.1 for the d2att or d2lte? You're running the latest TWRP which I believe is 2.8.7.0? or 2.8.7.1?
5K posts.
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
I'm pretty sure that CM de-unified the variants for CM 12.
From: https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/D2lte_Info
Note: Unified device
Between the release of CM 11 M3 and CM11 M12, all Qualcomm-based variants of this device were merged into a single build: d2lte. The device information pages for the individual variants should be used to reference any device-specific unlock instructions, download recoveries, to build CM 10.2, or to install CM 12.1: d2att, d2cri, d2mtr, d2spr, d2tmo, d2usc, d2vzw.

For d2att and running 2.8.7.0 for TWRP.
You should be good then.
The file should be left unzipped/unrared when using it right? I'm using it as such but it keeps returning the same error message saying that it won't install it.
Yes, leave it zipped. What is the TWRP error message?
The error log:
detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform msm_sdcc.1/byname system.
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data.
Please try another package or run a factory reset
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Download/cm-12.12015913-NIGHTLY-dtatt.zip
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/Download/cm-12.120150913-NIGHTLY-D2att.zip
Weird, did you do a full wipe before trying to install?
Can't believe it was that simple. I thought I had already made the wipe when I did it with the original recovery but making a second wipe through TWRP actually helped make it happen. I finally got through and have full access to my phone.
Unfortunately, the cell service doesn't seem to work but I'm guessing that I need to do more for the set up?
Edit: Not recognizing the sim card for some reason
Sounds like you need to update the bootloader and modem to the older KK version which I think is ne4.
Sorry for the late reply I've been busy the past week. I'm guessing the modem won't work without the proper bootloader? I've tried flashing the latest and original modem from the Modem list (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898). While they installed successfully I still don't get a signal.
I was worried which bootloader to take because it may lead to bricking. Which one are you referring to and are they in the Bootloader updates topic here? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321310)

Try using a TWRP recovery, and flash with it.
If still the same, try going back to stock, and then start over.
no success
i was on twrp itself and then switched to cwm and i don't even have my stock backed up so i guess there's nothing that can be done here. but if there is a way then do help.
and i also needed the zip file to get back to twrp.
please help.

You don't need stock backup to get to stock!
You can boot into download mode, and flash the stock ROM with Odin using PC, that's it.
What is your phone Model number?
So i can give you TWRP link.
yeah. please gimme the link to a twrp zip file and yes i downloaded a stock rom for my samsung note 2 gt n7100 and i even got odin but when i'm trying to put the md5 file in the AP section it stops for some time and then an error message pops up.
the screenshot is attached of the error message that popped up

The error is because the stock ROM md5 file is corrupt.
