ok so 3 adderall and 27 hours later i finally fixed my tmo vibrant which would go to a black screen after the galaxy s screen. only the soft nuttoms would light up. problem was because of voodoo lag fix
BACKGROUND:
1) unlocked my phone so it could be used for att. used the galaxy s unlock in the market place.
2)tried downloading a voodoo lagfix and when i applied it thats when the problem arose.
3)app store never worked for me because in the process of unlocking my imei had changed some how. BUT that was not all a bad thing because i got $10 unlimited data.....
********ALLL FILES NEEDED FOR THIS********

FIX
ok so basically what i started doing is i started flashing the JFD through odin by putting the phone in download mode. i tried with and w/o pit file and unchecked and checked the repartion button. so it would run through all of it as it should and it passed the tests. but when the phone would load it would go to to last galaxy s screen pause for a minute and directly lead to a black screen with the soft buttons still lit up. at this point i thought the phone was gone. but then theree was light.
first of all this is something called eugene no brick froyo fix. i think this eugene guy was a foreigner cuz his directions were ****.
1)download odin 1.7 make sure its for vibrant.
2) EVERY FILE USED IS ATTACHED IN A NEAT LITTLE .RAR PACKAGE. THANK YOU
3) ok so start odin. im on win7 x64 btw. i didnt even run as administrator (it was giving me errors when i did).
4) where it says PIT load the xxxxxxxx512.pit file (x's are the starting of the file callled s1_ something that i cant recall because my brain is fried)
5) in the pda location add the .tar i gave you called EUGENE373_SamsungS_Froyo_PDA. make sure the re-partiton is checked
6) put the phone in download mode. (power down, remove battery, replace batt, hold vol up/dwn, connect usb). make sure you have the drivers for the vibrant. do a simple google search
7) it should say its in the download mode on the screen and a yellow box should appear in odin. if not search xda. on odin hit start. go do some push ups, or ask for a blow job from your wife and in the mean time let odin work. should take no more then 10 min.
8) after that is done the phone is going to reboot. the screen will change from VIBRANT SAMSUNG to VIBRANT i9000 or whatever. dnt worry its working.
9) its going to then goto an odd out of place looking screen and there are going to options that you will want to click. please do not.
10) at this point just pull the battery out and replace it and dont turn on phone......yet
11) enter odin again this time dont add a pit file and in PDA spot insert the included JFD file (.tar) called T959UVJFD
12) click start let that run and BAM it will load up perfectly.
13) you should flash again to JI6 by just following the simple rules explained at step 11. just instead of adding JFD add JI6. JI6 adds HD camcorder and better GPS.
FINISHED
END NOTES.

Some Help Please
Link for files is not working anymore. Can you upload this again please?
I have the same problem you listed, Galaxy S vibrant will go to black screen after finishing the boot and showing the pulsating S, only the soft touch butons will be on, the phone is dead and I have tried all things possible and losted all over the web to revive it, I can't get it to wor, it is a sad thing the phone is in great condition but something went wrong and i can't figure out how to bring it back to life
Maybe if you laid off the speed.............
I just realized this thread is from a year ago. I hate bumped old threads.
You were just sliced bread before you were burnt by the toaster.
So in my haste to ROM my new phone, I unfortunately did not follow the literature as closely as I should have and now have a Galaxy S2 with the Ninphetamine kernel and no radio (I think).
My phone's status menu reads "No Service" and I don't know how to restore to its original glory. I've tried doing a factory reset, and when I installed Ninphetamine, it was with the intention of over-writing the CF kernel I loaded, which apparently wasn't designed for my phone (XX not UG).
Sorry if this is unclear, I'm in a bit of a rush and want to post this before I have to go take care of something. Please, any help is appreciated.
Also: neither the Home button nore the Menu buttons are responsive, however the Search button has taken on the Menu buttons functionality. The back button is otherwise okay. This also makes it impossible to use ClockWorkMod.
Roms for the I9100 will not work for the sprint variant. You will need to re-flash a rom designed for your phone. You can find what you need here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1284

You will need to get the original Sprint firmware to recovery from your mistake, you should be able to flash with Odin once you have your firmware assuming you can still get to download mode.. All the ROM's & kernels in this forum are for the International version of the SGSII ( I9100) Since yours is a Sprint version it is not compatible with any of these kernels or ROM's.
Thanks a lot, both of you. I'm working on getting my phone back to its fully glory again, however I accidentally got myself stuck on the Clockwork mod screen. I can't use my home key to select anything so I can't pick any of the menu options (i.e. "power off") and when I take out/replace the battery it just returns to Clockwork. Any idea how to alleviate this?

In many clockworks, the power button acts as a 'select' key.
... But going into download mode doesn't require even that. (battery out plugged into PC, vol-down on my phone)
Mileage may vary... Diff phones and all.

The power button just filters the text over the Clockwork backdrop on Sprint's GSGII, it seems. In any event, I managed to boot into download mode by taking out the battery and plugging my phone into my computer and holding vol. down/power. Thanks a bunch! I really can't mention enough how much this community means to me, first by helping me break my phone, then teaching me how to fix it. I really do <3xda.

I've spent a couple days searching, but there doesn't appear to be a relevant enough thread to help me here, so I've resorted to asking for help, hopefully you guys can help me figure this out.
I got my girlfriend a used Telus SGH-T959D (same thing as the T-mobile version pretty well) several months back. It was on stock 2.1 and worked fine but was very laggy compared to my rooted HTC Desire on oxygen 2.3.2. So I rooted it and installed a 2.2 rom with Voodoo sound control (but no lagfix), and she's been using it this way for months now. It was better than stock but still laggy. I can't remember what rom it was but it was based on Samsuck firmware, hence why it's still laggy I guess.
For some reason, when I originally rooted it I had trouble with CWM recovery not installing, I can't even remember now what exactly was happening, but I managed to get the rom installed without a proper custom recovery, so when I go into recovery it's just the stock Samsung recovery, with no options for nandroid backup, restore, flash zip from sd card, etc. Basically I can't do anything useful in recovery.
Anyways lately, worse and worse she has been getting the Android text message to wrong recipient bug. If you aren't aware of it, it causes messages you sent to go to a different person in your text message message list. No it is not user error.
So I decided to try and data wipe. After this there is basically no launcher when it boots up. The notification pulldown is there and working, and it shows the phone has a signal and wifi is turning on and working, capacitive buttons light up when you press them, but you can't do anything except grab the pulldown.
It won't connect to USB when booted up, phone shows a message that you must close running processes first, or something like that. But I cannot flash a rom from recovery anyways, since it only brings up a stock recovery.
I can get it into download mode, if I hold my tongue just right and try several times, but not sure what to try to flash with Odin. I already downloaded an ICS Passion rom, but then reading the tutorial saw that I must first download CM7 and install that, then upgrade the bootloaders to the GB ones, then flash the ICS rom. I would really like to at least upgrade to 2.3 and something not based on Samsung fw, but the main priority is to get it working again.
Anyways, whatever you guys can suggest to try would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Honestly bro, everything I'm seeing in Google makes it seem like that phone is more on par with the Galaxy S Fascinate than with our Vibrant. Although on the exterior they all look so similar... I dunno, maybe check out their forums and see if you get anymore help there?
Here's the link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=718
Goodluck!
The title of this thread looks similar to my problem with my Samsung Vibrant. So I would ask it here, too.
I'm not sure if I bricked my vibrant, it's still power up, only to to first screen, which has the words Vibrant (and) Samsung and stay there forever.
I first rooted my Vibrant successfully.
Then, I've followed the instructions below:
1. Download the latest version of the ROM from the original development page.
2. Transfer the downloaded zip file to the root of the internal SD card on your phone.
3. Turn off your phone and wait for complete shutdown (wait for capacitive button lights to go off).
4. Then, boot into Clockworkmod (CWM) recovery. To do so, press and hold these 3 buttons together: Volume Up, Volume Down, & the Power button till the screen turns on, then let go of the buttons. In recovery, use Volume keys to scroll up and down and power key to select an option.
5. Perform a full Wipe (this will not wipe your SD cards)
a. Wipe data / factory reset –> then Select Yes - Wipe data/Factory reset on the next screen.
b. Select “mounts and storage“, then select “format system” -> select “Yes” on next screen to confirm. Then, select “go back” to go back to the main recovery menu.
6. Now scroll to “Install zip from sdcard” and select it.
7. Select “Choose zip from sdcard”. Scroll to the file you transferred in Step 2 and select it.
8. Now confirm installation by selecting “Yes — Install **your_rom_file_name**.zip – The ROM will start installing.
9. The phone will reboot to recovery in the middle of the installation, then continue installing the ROM.
When I got to step 7, instead of running the zip file downloaded on step 1. I run the update.zip (something like that). And I couldn't get back to the CWM recovery screen anymore. Only I can boot it to the regular recovery screen, where it let you:
reboot the system
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data.
Or boot up to the screen described at the beginning of this post.
So what should/can do to fix this problem?
I think my phone is t959 (it's t-mobile Samsung Vibrant)
Thanks for the reply. As far as I thought the only similarity between this and the at t fascinate was the name fascinate. There's is the i5000 and mine is the t959d? Should this post be moved over there? I found a thread there with someone having partly. the same issue as mine not being able to install cwm but its been there for days and likely will not be replied to.
I've spent a lot of time trying to fix messed-up installs. Seems to me that if for any reason you can't rrflash the rom, or reflashing and wiping doesn't work, just Odin-ing back to JFD and going from there is the best bet.
Well I was about to go ahead and download stock JFD and try flashing that but it appears that Mega upload has been shutdown by the FBI for fraudulent activity, and Rapid share is not working either. Maybe they're too busy because of the mega Upload shutdown or they were owned by the same people and have also been shut down. So now I'm not sure where to even find files that are safe to flash.
I just spent another hour on here and Android forums, and basically all the the threads are one or two posts, with no resolution to the OP, and none of the downloads links anywhere are working. I'm pretty patient but I'm ready to give up. Does anyone want to trade a soft bricked T959D in mint condition for any old beatup HTC that works? I've had my fill of Samsung's now.
No trade sorry but if you want to donate shoot me a pm.
Before you dump it, give me some time to look into this and I'll see if I can get you up and running with some files. Sammys are way user friendly unless you aren't doing something right, then you could always go back to stock.
Hold the phone. Haha. I'll get back to you.
You too ciditin
Thanks Woodrube, I will definitely wait patiently as long as I know I'm going to be able to sort it out eventually. I'm busy with schoolwork so even though I enjoy this kind of thing I hate spending hours upon hours on it just trying to get the phone operational again.
I've been spoiled by my htc desire, it's been almost foolproof to do anything after spending a short time reading a few FAQ's and there have been no close calls. Soon I'll probably try an ICS rom once they get a bit more stable.
I will definitely do a donate if you can help me get it going with a decent rom. I would love to have lag fix on it since my girlfriend is a bit annoyed at the lag.
Since I got my first Android phone in August 2010, I've rooted and rom'd an LG Shine Plus, LG Optimus One, HTC Desire, the T959D and Galaxy S2 T989D (sold after I got it on an early renewal). I also had to fix my sisters I9000M after a failed 2.3 update operation. So I'm no expert on this, but I've got a little bit of experience messing around with stuff. Just they all require different processes, different programs to do the job, so you have to relearn it for every new phone.
The Samsung's have been the biggest pain compared to the others, but I think it's mostly because the Canadian versions are always slightly different than the Tmobile version, but besides that Samsung always has several different versions of the same.
If I get this thing up and running again I will probably check out your GPS fix thread, cause the GPS on this phone would lock on but it was way out to lunch. Like 6 streets away from us out to lunch.
I found the way to fix my problem, hopefully it'll fix yours.
I was able to restore my stock.
Here is what you have to do.
WARNING!!! THIS WILL WIPE ANY DATA ON YOUR DEVICE, IT WILL REPLACE YOUR BASEBAND, KERNEL, RECOVERY AND OS.
DOWNLOADS:
ODIN application
512 PIT file - I can't post link so pm me
T-Mobile Vibrant JFD Image – I can't post link so pm me
USB Drivers from the Samsung Galaxy S – 32 Bit Windows Download \ 64 Bit Windows Download (again I can't post link, yet)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Turn off your phone (remove battery, and usb cable to pc).
2. Plug usb cable to your phone (this is just for easy to connect to the PC in the next step), do NOT connect it to your pc just yet.
3. Get your phone into DOWNLOAD mode by holding the Volume Up, Volume down, and plug your usb cable to your PC. A yellow digging Android sign should be on the screen of your phone. This may take a few tries to get it right.
3. Launch ODIN.The third box dow from the top-left box should then say a COM port (the box under the top-left box should be yellow).
4. In ODIN, load each file with its corresponding field:
___a. Click PIT and select *.pit file extracting from the 512 PIT file above.
___b. Click PDA and select the *.tar, stock JFD file.
5. Don’t check anything else, the other two boxes should be checked by default (Auto Reboot and Reset Time)
6. Hit “start.” Be patient for a couple minutes! (The bar under the top left box should show the progress, and on you phone, too)
7. You should have your Vibrant back in with stock configuration.
Good luck!
NOTE: COM3 worked fine for me. COM should not matter as long as you are using the correct drivers.

Ok. I wasn't soliciting for a monetary donation, I was just going off that you wanted to trade. I can't trade but if you ever want to donate your phone then just PM me.
I have to agree with kawika that everything I have read has been that your model number is for the Fascinate. Easy tip off would be; does your phone have a sim card? It is probably a CDMA phone with no sim slot. I suggest getting the files you need from the Fascinate forums as I am almost positive that the T959 files will not work on the T959d. Since you have modded a I-9000m you know that they are slightly different than the I-9000. Same thing goes with this circumstance.
Good luck and sorry that there wasn't more I could do but it is just a different phone.
@Citidin - Good to see you got yours solved. If you have questions, please ask (in the correct thread for your question a this one will probably be closed out).
It definitely has a sim card and it's HSPA, I pulled the Sim card out and put it in my HTC Desire for her to use, and put my SIM card in this crappy little LG Optimus One that's too small for me to type on. So I guarantee it has a sim card and is nothing like the Verizon phones which will not work on any of the Canadian carriers AFAIK. I think nobody understands what the phone is, and that's why almost every thread with a problem like this ends in 0 replies. I think from now on I will stay away from Samsung's abortion phones that they sell in Canada. Or at least I will research community support before getting one.
Ours is called the Fascinate, but its completely different model # than theirs, it is the T959D. Just like how the new Telus galaxy S2x is the T989D, same phone as the T mobile T989_.
For some reason there seems to be a few posts in the Fascinate section, for Telus only, I think that only started because of confusion about what the phone was, but the phone has nothing in common with the Verizon CDMA version. Actually I think if you look up, just about every phone that Telus or Bell (same network basically) gets, is a phone that T mobile got first. HTC Amaze being another one. HTC Desire Z is the same as the Tmobile G2.
Sorry I misunderstood you about donating the phone itself. My last effort will be the JFD file that Citidin sent me a link to. Hopefully that gets it going. If not I will stash it away until I have extra time to try again.
Well once I got the JFD file downloaded and put phone in download mode, turned on Odin, realized the PC recognizes the device attached and being malfunctioned, so I cannot flash with Odin.
I tried Heimdall which I downloaded yesterday, but the program won't load as it says I'm missing a DLL file.
I tried Android flasher which I downloaded who knows when, and tried to just install a recovery image with it, but it gets stuck while pushing recovery image and the program locks up.
I decided to try my girlfriends Laptop instead of mine after maybe 40 failed attempts to get Odin to communicate on mine, and to my surprise it recognized it right away. I transferred my files, with the JFD to this computer and then flashed with Odin. It took about 2 minutes and it was up and running. I checked about phone and it said 2.3.3 firmware. Really confused I looked back at odin and realized I flashed the I9000M stock 2.3.3 firmware (KG3) that I flashed on my sisters phone back around xmas. I forgot I did that on this laptop.
Anyways it is working as it should except for the home button not working (which I had already read about in a thread about using I9000M or Vibrant roms on the T959D).
While it is unfortunately stock again, the 2.3.3 should fix the original problem of sending to texts to the wrong recipient, and it also seems a lot less laggy. I think I'll just let her try it as is and hope she is happy.
If you use the JFD file from the link I sent you, it should be the stock Tmobile Vibrant.
Similar problem
Sorry dont mean to hijack your thread but I think I am having a similar problem - posted in the wrong spot before so hopefully I am ok here...
Have a Vibrant and some how got crossed up on it.
I have been able to use Odin to update the phone, however after it says its done, it does a reboot as it supposed to, shows the samsung screen then just shuts down.
After about a hundred tries, someone pointed me to Eugene's no brick. I tried that and it will fix it so it will boot and go into recovery, but I can't seem to do much once I get there. My only options are to update, wide data and wipe cache. Can't get to the point where I can load an update onto the unit.
I tried wide data and reset, then reboot. It shows the samsung vibrant logo, then the splash screen, then the big S and then screen goes black and the cap buttons stay lit.
If I try to go back and load the stock pit and jfd file, it just goes back to not booting at all and shutting down after the logo
I cant seem to get it into recovery unless I do Eugene's fix
In one of my earlier attempts, I did check to repartition as direct in one of the other threads - been chasing this a while now!
Edit: It was originally a bell phone - does this matter?
If it was a Bell phone than it should be the I9000M. It sounds like your problem is a bit different than mine was. I was able to get into recovery mode and download mode just fine. I just didn't know which files to flash with.
I intended to flash the JFD that citidin sent me, but I accidentally use the KJ3 (latest I9000M 2.3.3 firmware). The I9000 and Vibrant roms are compatible with the T959D Telus Fascinate though, only problem being no home or search button.
It sounds like the Eugene thing (whatever that is, I'm not familiar) gets you into stock recovery. Like my original issue, you cannot flash or mount the sd card, or much of anything with the stock recovery.
Do you know that the file your flashing is compatible with your phone (the I9000M I assume)? More info that would probably help, is what firmware did you have on it before, was it JFD? What update did you try on it? Bootloader version - there are gingerbread bootloaders, and froyo bootloaders I think?
Have you tried different files other than the one that doesn't seem to boot up for you? I think most of the tutorials I've looked at, said not to check repartition. When i finally got this T959D working with the I9000 rom I did not check repartition and did not select a pit file, just the PDA, phone, CSC.
Yes it is a I9000M - I was trying to load the JFD tar file along with the 512 pit file. I followed a thread in the I9000 section and loaded a JPD tar file onto it, now it shows up as a I9000B - maybe I should stop
I can now get into recovery and or download (i think the steps are differant than hold both volume buttons - mine is holding the volume one way for recovery and the other way for download, along with home and power)
Wondering if I am in this bind because it isnt really what most are calling a Vibrant - maybe under Bell it is something else.
Bootloader? didn't know I had to do anything there
I just picked up the phone used from someone - I assumed it was stock and didn't do a good check to see what was on it.
I9000m is not the Vibrate but rather the Bell version of the Captivate. There is a dev section for the I9000m in the I9000 group.
I would definately stop what you are doing and read over there.
******
Also 350 you can re-map your keys to work but I am mobile now and cant search it for you. Reason being that the. Vibrant keys are laid out differently in, ahh can't think right niece where they are, but it is fixable. Just search key remap or remapping.
Thanks very much for the help - have to wonder why they cant call them the same names regardless of where they are sold - guess thats why they get the big bucks
Good Morning,
I'm having the hardest time rooting my galaxy tab 10.1 I just bought. It came with android 4.0.4. I followed this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBd9gMFCCrA
and this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI4ZredrFNc
I couldn't find a video on here dealing with rooting android 4.0.4 maybe I didn't look in the right place.
The first thing that is different in all the videos I've been watching is when you turn the tablet off. and press power button+volume down buttton the screen that show on everybodys video I have watched so far has 2 icons that show up one on the left the look a box one on the right that looks like an android symbol. Yet on my device all I get is the screen that says download mode. Just wanted to point that out might be the reason why this isn't working for me.
Ok so when I get in to download mode another thing that is going on is on the screen it says custom binary download 3 I assume that is on there because I have tried 3 times. anyways I load up the recovery tar file in odin. I have my device in download mode and connect to my computer I hit the start button it goes all the way through and says pass and the device reboots. I shut the device down.
The next step I'm trying to get in to the clock work recovery by holding down the power button + volume down and it is suppose to take me in to the recovery every single time I do it it takes me to the stock android system recovery <3e>. In yellow letters on the screen it says # MANUAL MODE #
---Applying Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code : XAR
Succesfully applied multi-CSC
I have no clue what the above means but I cannot get this system in a clockwork recovery mode to save my life.
If anybody can help me are like me to the correct video that I'm suppose to be following I would really appericate. Thank You In Advance.
Just flash a CWM recovery using Odin, then once it's on there use the rooting zip and that's all there is to it.
I'll find the link to the files and update this post with the details.
But first, you need to tell us if it's the Wi-Fi only or 3G.
Better yet, give us the full model number to make sure you're in the right forum.

Yeah me too! I thought It was just me. I have the GT-P7510 WIFI Only. Sure would love a fix for this beast.
Make sure you've got a CURRENT root package for your tablet. I had an old one that I downloaded almost a year ago and tried to install that after the upgrade. It looked like it installed correctly, but didn't actually get root permissions set on the su binary.
I installed SuperSU instead and it worked just fine.
Try
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyTab10.1/rooting/GalaxyTabHacks.com_SuperUser.zip
as that claims to be current.
I've had this device for years ever since it hit the shelf it has sat in my hand. I have sooo much importance on here I have to get it back here is the...short story.
I installed this: Font Installer (Rooted)
Everything was going fine one thing I noticed is when I downloaded a font it changed it itself but I was like fine leave it be. Then I decided I wanted my system font back so I went to Settings, Display and such and found that the installed font was now default so my next step was to find out where is the fonts located so I went to system, fonts then hit INSTALL on the one I wanted it and boom it crashed. Now it just shows the Samsung sign then it dies then Samsung then dies then repeat.
I hesitated rooting, overclocking and such as a matter of fact overclocking is the only thing I did when I rooted which I felt stupid for because there was no dramatic increase the only benefit it gave me is a GB of storage but otherwise I don't even use root like things. The bad news is I think/assume I need back up and I don't have one I did something backup wise with System Tuner but I don't think it was a system wide backup.
Right now it is siting on my desk in recovery mode or whatever happens when you hold volume up then power. I don't know how but I was thinking I could reflash the default system files but I figured they have to be on the sd card I'm running with guesses tell me if I'm F'd or whatnot. Preferably not F'd -.-

I have no clue had to do either even with going to the links I have the drivers downloaded as well as Odin I.....don't know what to do. My device doesn't pop up on the computer so how do I install the drivers it's in download mode a message popped up at the bottom on Windows and said installing drivers when I plugged it in.
1. Does Windows install the drivers automatically??
2. How do you use Odin?
3. Could anyone respond help me completely because as a new user I have a 5 minute wait rule at this forum seems slow as mollasess.
All I did was install a stupid font app which decided to kick me out now I can't get back in the links and threads around here are ok but not in depth step by step. I went to a couple threads with brick problems and the per usual seems to be 2 respones then the thread dies I really would like a walk-thru of what should be my next step. Again I can get into download mode, I have ODIN and the SAMSUNG drivers now what do I do I feel some sarcasm stick rubbing, magic remarks began to crop up -.-

You should have downloaded an .exe file for the drivers. Run that, reboot pc for good measure, and plug in your device. Open device manager on your PC. The player should show up as "samsung gadget serial" or such. If it does, then it should also appear in odin. If not, hold power and volume down until it reboots back into download mode. It should then. Now click on pda and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 you downloaded from the stock rom thread. It may be inside a zip or a rar, so if it is extract it first. Make sure repartition and update bootloader are UNCHECKED, and click start.

You sons of *****es it worked I'm clicking the thanks button for you both I have a bricked HTC device laying around now I get to go harass them. Wow doesn't even express the gratitude I wont be posting any tits but I might lose my man card by throwing up a giant hug and kiss for happiness expressed. Gotdarnit it went thru like magic for the bad I'd say both your threads needs a bit of explaining. Otherwise perfect did I mention I haven't seen Touchwiz or Swype in ages...
1. So I have a question is all flashing this easy and also as per usual....whats the best....fastest.....stable-lest.....popular rom.
2. Is this Stock rom completely stock and if not what am I missing before I play with something and return to XDA.
3. My Auto Rotate has been broke for a couple months I can tell the sensor is completely off although it still works is there anyway to re-calibrate it completely root wise???
Can someone help me I cannot find the MD5 every file I downloaded it does not have it included.

Edit: This is a slightly new problem nothing to do with the old I bricked it again and I basically can't find the MD5.
