hi sorry to ask a noob question but i don't want to take a chance,
i just downloaded ka5
http://www.multiupload.com/GZT6ZYFX46
i got a zip file, in Odin when pressing the PDA button it looks for a md5 file and wont select my zip file.
in the instructions i got it says to select the zip file,
inside it there is a big md5 file and a small dll one.
should i extract the md5 and select it with the pda button?
do i need to do anything with the dll file?
or maybe i should select the zip file in a way i don't know..
thanks for the help!
also, do i need the 512 pit file?
should i download it and select it with pit or not?
anther question..
can i just flash the ka5 file with clockworkmod?
i have a rom and it has .tar.md5 extension attached to it....i know about the .tar file but should i remove the .md5 because i have never used it so is that .md5 extension useless?
No,the md5 is necesary and if you delete it the ROM doesnt work,i recomended the zip CWM recovery ROMS ,dont erase it friend
Hey everyone
I have a question which I coudn't find anywhere on the forum for an answer...
I have a firmware for my galaxy ace named S5830XWKTM_S5830OXXKT3_S5830XWKT7_HOME.tar.md5
and I wanted to edit the baseband so I could make it work in my S5830L by just changing "amss" file...
But I can't change it if they are in .md5 and if I change the file to .zip and transfer amss, I can't change it back to .md5
How can I turn S5830XWKTM_S5830OXXKT3_S5830XWKT7_HOME.tar.zip into S5830XWKTM_S5830OXXKT3_S5830XWKT7_HOME.tar.md5
I don't know if you understand my question...
so here is what i understood you want to extract the. tar file change a file and repack it right. ... how different is the l version different from the Normal one

yes
The only difference is the frequency for 3G
S5830 uses for HSDPA 900 /2100
and S5830L 850 / 1900
By deafult odin has checksum md5 verification thats why there is a .md5 extension even if you manage to repack it the file wont get flashed through odin......
i have a workaround for you
flash the file directly there is a tutorial to extract and flash only baseband use that after flashing that zip .......

I think I found it
I just created my .tar file to flash it through Odin.
But I have a question
Can I create a .tar file with the complete firmware and flash it through Odin?
followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558715
I just added everything that was in the .md5 , replaced baseband file and put it back again in a .tar file
you can but need the change the checksum to the new value its better if you flash it seperately

Oh, but what do you mean with changing the checksum
the checksum is only to check if the file is corrupt or not or if it has been modified...
well checksum adds up all the files finds it's size and store's it when yoy change a file they may be of different: sizes so the checksum verification fails

Its not like im using the same .md5 file.
All I did was extract all the files from the .md5
Repacked them into a .tar file and it should be flashable through Odin...
Since its not .md5 it won't do a checksum
I added the .tar file into Odin - "One Package" and doesn't give me any error or anything... So I guess it should work the same as changing baseband does.
EDIT:
Thanks alot for your help
I managed to repack all the files to make a firmware flashable through Odin
All I did was this
$ tar -H ustar -c (all unpacked files in here) > firmware.tar
$ md5sum -t firmware.tar >> firmware.tar
$ mv firmware.tar firmware.tar.md5
I just flashed it through Odin and no problems at all
i thought that you were using the base ace rom by changing the file so said that checksum would vary btw your problem is solved right edit the title thread to solved it will say others time.....
Hi all..
I have been using the Zip files, via CWM to update my CM10 versions.. All is well..
But I see the md5sum files that one can flash with ODIN there as well..
So my Q is: Do I need to flash the MD5's as well? If so, for what point and purpose?
Regards

Md5 files are checksums for the file you are downloading. Its basically a way to verify you have downloaded the complete file and that its the file that it says it is.
Hi all,
I'm currently using LU200 and there is a problem when updating kernel:
1. I download kernel.zip for my phone and install it successful (this file contains: boot.img, ko file, update script)
2. However, when unzip and zip it again by using command "zip -r" --> I cant install this zip file (some errors occur)
I have checked checksum of those file, both of them are completely different (I see in many forum they use the same command "zip -r" to zip that file).
My question is: is there is tool for zip this kind of file? what is it?
