I haven't seen anything on this in the threads, but It's possible to check md5 sums with ES file explorer. I download things directly to my phone, long press file, choose properties from the menu, press check sums, select md5, let it do work!
Yep, Astro and Root Explorer do that as well.

I've always seen post for programs to use on windows, but never on my phone.
Thanks for the added info!
There are multiple apps in the store for md5's.

No problem! I always thought it was easier to check on my phone, since my ROM/HBOOT/radio downloads are all done on my phone.

Thanks. Honestly I was too lazy to check in the past but now that I know this I'll do it.
Nice to know thanks. I always used hash Droid but never new you could check with es
I use it a lot when flashing ROMs and radios, all you have to so I long press on the file, select properties and then show checksum.

I just recently switched from a Droid Charge to the Rezound. There was an easy way on the Charge to see all your files and downloads in a nice File Folder. Is there anything like that on the Rezound or something from the market I can download?
Thanks

astro file explorer, or es file explorer. If you want to see your download folder, open your app drawer and click on downloads.
I like ES the most but if you're rooted then Root explorer is the way to go.
Thanks I'll give it a try.

Anyone have issues with these? I loaded es and two days later my phone started boot looping and no way out of it. Kind of worried to load one

Unless you did something while having root access in ES, there's really not any way that the program could cause your boot looping. I always use Root Explorer, but I've used ES before and never had any troubles.
I use Astro file manager from the market. It's always worked flawless for me.

Why do so many people hate Rom manager? I love it and am just used to it since my cappy. I knkw it doesnt do everything with our SGS2 as it does for my cappy like reboot to recovery for nandroid backups correctly (except for using it for that purpose for cm7 works perfectly). But i like to use it for renaming nandroids and such. Easy to use and has never failed me. Wish it could be updated to fully work correctly at some point. Would be nice to get all our roms available on it/through it. Well to each his/her own i guess. I still use it to download gapps and such as well for cm7.

Lol.. seems like a lot of ppl really hate ROM Manager.
I either use ES File Explorer, or just connect to the pc and do my cleanup as necessary. I also rename the folders, so it's easier to identify which is what. Just remember if you do decide to rename your folders, no spaces , else you'll get md5 issues and wouldn't be able to restore from the backup you made.
A more interesting question is why a thread like this even needs to exist. I wondered the same thing the op did. Then I used root explorer to search and found the folder on my own. Search being the key word.

Okay I've come to conclusion of rooting my phone so I can in install CyanogenMod 10.1. BUT I need your guy's help during the process. Here's some questions I need to ask.
On Q9, what does it mean to add lines on "hosts" file? Do you just rename the hosts file and add lines something like this? "_hosts_"
And for Q10, telling me to follow steps to 3 to 10. Does it mean I have to do it all over again? ..
Sorry for being uneducated about this, lol. I'm a noob and learning.

I'm not trying to be mean but if you can't follow this rooting method you might not want to try cm-10. Try to root first and get comfortable with it.
The two questions refer to the offline fix method link that's in question 10

You are correct. You have to flash the Europe version p760 but in my opinion it not worth the hassle. Now about the host, you add those two lines at the end (the bottom)

I know about the notepad but what I dont get is when it told me to "Now copy-paste following in "Open File" Box."
I think it's telling me to paste this "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" but paste to what, the Open File Box? What?
And I dont even know where to paste this
"127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com
127.0.0.1 csmgdl.lgmobile.com ", it said to paste it on the bottom of hosts file ? I opened the file but this showed up..

I'll upload them to photo bucket later.
But for now do this. Press the window button
Type "notepad"
When notepad pops up, right click it and select "Run as administrator"
Now click the FILE tab (at the top left corner) and select open
Now got to window/system32/drivers/etc
Once inside the area, everything will be blank. At the bottom click the text .txt, it should give you an option to show all , click it
Then you see the host file. Double click on it , then add those two line at the bottom inside (the host file)
Lol, this is only the beginning. But everyone must start somewhere
If you need anymore help, give me a holla

When you click on notepad you have tip open that file. So you paste the Windows address in the open file section to get to the hosts file then you paste the two strings at the bottom of the hosts file.

No, if it's your only phone. I don't recommend it. I lot of stuff can go wrong and, if you have to install the fastboot driver and etc.
Think of it like this, changing the host file is like a grain of sand, BUT installing the omap drive and flashing in fastboot (if something goes wrong) is a huge BOULDER. get my point. Master this first and do a lot more reading before doing anything else. Look at all the threads in the help section. Several things can go wrong, and you have to be prepared for all of them. :sly:

Hello,
This is the first time I have rooted a phone and the first time I have posted in these forums. The forum wouldn't let me post over there as a rookie, so if this isn't the right place, please forgive me.
I read the entire 39 pages of open1your1eyes0's [GUIDE] Root for Verizon Galaxy S4 ***VRUAME7 Build Only!***
thread and got my S4 rooted. Yeah, baby!!!!
The forum wouldn't let me post over there as a rookie, so if this isn't the right place, please forgive me.
I'm stuck at this point with trying to prevent Verizon with cramming another crap update down the gullet of my phone.
I grabbed ES File Explorer from the Play Store, found the fwupgrade,apk file, tried to rename it and it keeps telling me "Task is Failed." I tried to do the same with the sdm.apk file with the same results.
Could someone help me out a bit and maybe point out if I have missed a step or something?
Thanks!
You have to go into root explorer options and mount the system as r/w.

When I long press, it highlights the app, selects it with a little check box next to the app, and places empty text boxes next to every other app in that file. Along the bottom of the screen, the options change to copy, cut, delete, rename (which I have tried repeatedly), and three dots saying more. Under more, it has hide, add to desktop, share, install, open as, add to favorite, send, compress, extract to, open, properties, move to and copy to.
Thanks for sticking with me on this, btw. I'm typically great with this type of stuff, but I'm just not seeing it on this one.

I use root explorer and that's the way it works with it. You're using something different so I'm not sure. But look for something that lets you change the apk's permissions. You need to change them to read/write.
Edit, ok I installed es file and I can't find where to change the permissions either. Try root explorer, I think it'll cost you some money but it's well worth it.
You hit menu go to tools then hit root explorer it will ask for permissions and then another box will popup where u can give r/w privis.
