Just wondering how many people check it on downloads. I personally never even heard of it until recently. Besides if the download doesn't match the md5 and you flash anyways what kind of misery could you possibly bring on yourself ?.
If its a bad download its a bad download right ?. (Which I've never had I think). All that needs to be dine is download again.

I always do. Roms, radios, gapps. Everything.
Its easy and doesn't hurt.

I don't always check it, but if I do I usually just use esfile explorer once the file is on my phone.

Well... It could be many things. Usually a piece of the Rom is missing.
That could be really bad if your WiFi and radio modules are gone. Means no WiFi or network connection.
But, as you stated, a simple redownload should be good

I'd suggest checking it when downloading firmware, since those can actually brick your device. As far as ROMs, themes, mods, etc....the most it should cause is a slight inconvenience (lost time flashing, failing, having to redownload), so checking isn't as warranted.
Flashed hundreds of things in my rooting lifetime. Never once paid attention to it.

In the past I didn't, but as of late I've been trying to make a habit of it.
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
Just for radios or firmware..never for a Rom.

Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
just about always since time warner has been having issues in my area and ive gotten a few broken d/l's lately.
always for radio or firmware. I always take a screenshot of md5 on devhost before clicking download. Then I can easily compare. As vinchenzop said, bad firmware flash can completely brick you.
From my Evo LTE, yup.
Yeah, always check for firmware. For a rom, the worst thing that could happen is you get a failure to flash. But if you get a bad download with firmware, you could brick your phone. I think all the file explorers allow you to check the md5.

In all my years of flashing, I only have on firmware. I use Root Explorer when I actually do

Mine is getting the same. Went from stock ROM to Team Nocturnal ROM. No change even after uninstalling and reinstalling. Lucky you to get yours working. After all this, just give me a $10 Amazon Gift Card and end this.
Can I root
OK I have a question. I just got the EVO LTE and want to root it. But I keep seeing that I need to clear the data from my Google Wallet or it will be forever bricked. But of course I am getting an error saying its not supported buy my country (WTF). I cleared the data in the app settings but wonder is it safe to root if I dont do it thru the app. I want to root but dont too loose wallet if I do. Any suggestions or should I just wait till Google figures out what to do with wallet.
Thanks for any advice

not safe to root
killwrath, from what I read you should not root, you MUST clear your data from within the app itself (restore to factory). clearing you data will not help and you'll brick your secure element..

Did it work before you started using that Rom? My other suggestion would be to try a different ics Rom. Sorry I wasn't able to help but you're not the only with that problem. I'm surprised that no one else hasn't tried to help.

I had the same issue, I used the tweaked combo radio that used the .19 CDMA radio, with the leaked ICS LTE radio.

Question concerning this ROM as well. My signal bars either constantly indicate 2 bars for the 4 bar version, or full for the 6 bar signal version, and nothing else unless I am not on 4G. I saw someone posted this question somewhere else about a week ago or longer but I have been unable to locate it since I have been using the ROM. My data connection is usually fine so I wasn't sure if it'd be the radio I'm using or something with the ROM and if I may need to reflash.

So I've gotta ask and take it easy on me if this is a stupid question. But do only certain roms work with s-on. I'm asking because every Rom above 4.1.1 has never gotten past the boot screen on my EVO. So is this question legitimate?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
From what i read yes, but same with s-off depending on what version you're on.. S-off is the way to go, i was having mad issues flashing with s-on and always ended up in a boot loop, did s-off yesterday and have tried three different roms successfully... Totally cool.. Try the s-off using dirtyracun and if you have issues, they will help you out in their irc chanel... Bigdaddy explained it best to me... Him and captain throwback ate good to go if you need help...

Some Roms will require you to flash the kernels first via fastboot or the flash image gui app. Pain in the ass if you ask me. Just go S-off..

Are you referring to the DNA Android Development and DNA Original Android development boards? The first one (loosely speaking) is more for kangs, and roms that are based off of stock, as well as roms that are based off of other people's work (i.e. not fully original work). The original development board is geared towards roms built from source (i.e. AOSP roms), as well as development that introduce original features.

I intentionally moved from the gnex to the DNA, as I had a coupon to get it for free and I felt the deal couldn't be beat.
After a slow start (as s-off wasn't available yet) when I first got it, I am now absolutely thrilled with it and couldn't be happier.
Performance is so much better than the Gnex, it's ridiculous.
