hello, has been posted in the forum roms and kernels, but has not been posted MD5, peopl developers to post the MD5 to help those who download.
Sheldon, Your post is difficult to understand but from what I gather, you would like developers to post MD5 sums for files. If this correct let me respond by saying that my ROM's have an automatic MD5 sum in the file and the file is zipped. If the zip file is corrupt I would expect CRC errors and you can't flash a file that you can not extract. When you go to flash the file, Odin does an MD5 checksum and you can not flash it if the checksum fails. By zipping the file and including the built in MD5 sum. I am insuring that people are not flashing garbage to their device.
Is that what you are worried about?

I see this a lot here lately. What exactly is it and what do you use it for?
Very basically MD5 gives a value of the file it is referencing. If you see a file with a MD5 sum next to it you can download that file and check its MD5 sum to ensure the file downloaded properly. There are different programs for it.
Certain Odin and other files will be signed, for lack of a better word, with a MD5 sum. When Odin runs it checks for that signature and if found it runs a MD5 sum check. If the signature and check don't match Odin will fail.

Thanks for the clarification.
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.
I backed up my rom with Clockworkmod v6.0.1.4 and when I went to restore it, it said md5 mismatch checksum. I checked in the advance restore options and it shows the default restore format is .DUP instead of .TAR so it saved it in the .dup format. Now, when I went to check up on the folder on my SDCARD it never showed an md5 file because it never created one. I read all of the " 20-second md5 fix " posts and I created an md5 file and made them blank off of a YouTube video and I also installed RapidCRC to attain md5 checksums from the img files in the backup folder to add to the new nandroid md5 file and out in the backup root folder and I even tried the SDCARD root, but to no avail, they all failed and I still get the md5 mismatch error. I have attached pictures that show my folders and files. I need some help on restoring please!

Dude, you don't need another thread for this....
Can someone please confirm if the md5 of the zip G900TUVU1BNH5_G900TTMB1BNH5_TMB.zip is 278791d07583dff3590e09b11e4c7722 and that of the tar G900TUVU1BNH5_G900TTMB1BNH5_G900TUVU1BNH5_HOME.tar .md5 is 06165CD30BB5536A651240975820411C? Google doesn't seem to be of help in the early days of release and I don't want to download again from Samsung updates. I downloaded the firmware from dropbox here, https://www.dropbox.com/s/fbweozeki5h9msm/G900TUVU1BNH5_G900TTMB1BNH5_TMB.zip?dl=0
I have the same MD5 for the .tar.md5 file you mention.
Thank you, ctaranto.
Hello everyone,
I made the mistake of rooting my SCH-I545 before taking an image of the factory rom, and I want to ODIN/heimdall back to factory. I have found a few "factory ROMs" online, but the contents of those slightly differ. Does anyone have (or can anyone generate) a list of MD5s for each of the partition files? The ones I'm most curious about are cache.img and hidden.img, as those two seem to differ. This is what I've found:
Code:
MD5 (I /aboot.mbn) 801c2c74e4f413d1e3bff753a554727a
MD5 (I /boot.img) b5b9f789628631cf4ac5d12d863995d7
MD5 (I /cache.img.ext4) 6a0476796321f5b88c1903eedff873ab or 6b26a090d3853ee2871dd436fe74bfea
MD5 (I /hidden.img.ext4) 93e20ce35250b8297af5a86dea812253 or 53d568a0a7d0b8bc368354edf1e38ba7
MD5 (I /modem.bin) c96cf6135b25fd9f25bfe407b05114bf
MD5 (I /NON-HLOS.bin) 8caf495082518fc1ee65834ddbd812ba
MD5 (I /recovery.img) 80636fd1b6eccb0a1c26a9c1b0c4d823

Thanks for your help.
