How do I calculate the md5 sum before I go flashing something so I can check
Sent from my tbolt running das bamf 3.0
It depends on how you want to check it.
The pinned root guide in the dev section includes instructions for using busybox to check md5s prior to flashing.
md5sum is included in most *nix platforms but most Win users use 3rd party apps.
md5summer, md5deep, etc
References:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5deep
http://sourceforge.net/projects/md5summer/
I always check them on the device through terminal. You need busybox to do it and know where it is. It's usually in /system/xbin/. That would make your command as follows:
/system/xbin/busybox md5sum /sdcard/pg05img.zip
That is assuming the sdcard is where your file is, and pg05img.zip is the file name to be checked.
Appreciate the help guys I have an application that I use on my PC but I'm on the road right now

I just got an app from the market. Works fine.
What's that app called? I refuse to flash radios without verifying md5
Sent from my tbolt running das bamf 3.0
There's no need for an app to do it. Like loonatik and I said, the function is included in busybox.
Open terminal and type what loonatik said above:
"busybox md5sum /sdcard/PG05IMG.zip"
or "/system/xbin/busybox md5sum /sdcard/PG05IMG.zip" if for some reason the other has a problem.
But if you need an app there are a few such as https://market.android.com/details?id=burrows.apps.crypto or https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hobbyone.HashDroid&feature=related_apps

Same here. You can even copy and paste the known md5 into the settings for automatic comparison of the next file calculated. Makes it super easy.

If you download the rom directly onto the device you can us a file manager like es file explorer to check the md5 with the one that is listed on the site you download it from.

I use MD5 Checker from the Play Store.
I copy and paste the MD5 from wherever I download it and then find browse to the file and select it. Then calculate to see whether or not it matches. If it matches, both MD5's turn green. If they don't match, they turn red.

MD5 verification is a guarantee that nothing happened from the moment you downloaded the file from a site to the point you saved it on your device or where it is need to start flashing/installation. It is a "legal protection" in case a corrupted file finds its way on installation and causes problems. It is a safety check.
I found all this out AFTER flashing without even checking MD5 on a Samsung S5.
Nothing happened as in most cases but if it did anyone would tell I had been warned.
Agree with @disconnecktie on the File Manager option for any medium users.
Is anyone else experiencing difficulty with the Kitchen in this version? None of the kitchen tweaks will work, they download fine, and it goes thru the regular process of installing, however none of the programs seem to be functioning after installation. Just checking with anyone else before I try re flashing. I did do a full wipe before install.

Checkrom V4
The same thing is happening with me. It downloads the files just fine but when it tries to install them, it restarts to the wrong recovery (not clockworkmod). You can see the things fail installing because of the <!> that comes up in the recovery for a split second.
How can we get it working? The only way I've done it is to manually restart to the right recovery, and then manually install each zip.
Reinstall the kitchen app

Try installing them from recovery, you have to delete or rename the clockworkmod folder on the external sd card in order to install things directly from the kitchen.

salted_hash in clockworkmod folder
Found the culprit:
Q: I am not able to flash via Kitchen???
A: Delete Clockworkmod folder
Reason:
Previously to make the kitchen flash in older version of CWM5 we need to use a salte hash file that was placed in the Clockworkmod folder, Now with the updated CWM5 the actually problem with CWM5 was fixed by the respective creator!
So now what happens is that all you people have that salted hash file remaining in ur sd card that doesn't allow to flash stuff in the newer better CWM5, thats why when u delete the Folder it stats working coz the salted hash file gets deleted!
Now you may ask why delete the folder, when u can delete the file only!!
LOL answer is simle the Android os never recognizes the file there so when u open myfiles you never find the salted hash file inside the clockworkmod folder! You can use other apps and methods to delete the file but then there is the obvious questions from noobs!!
So Moral the problem is only with that one salted hash file and not ur backup.

So you can delete the entire folder, or just the "/sdcard/clockworkmd/.salted_hash" file. This worked for me.
Correct just the salted hash needs to go, there's no need to lose your backups. If you do delete the folder next time you do a nandroid it will only get recreated without the salted hash.

You haven't flashed gapps properly or your gapps zip might be corrupted. Did you verify the md5sum of the zip before flashing?

Ok, I see that jokersax hasn't provided the md5sum for the gapps v3 package, so I'm providing it here - E859E11A84C6A47FD53635E1A4E6B538
Whenever an md5sum is provided, always check the downloaded file to see if it matches. If there is a mismatch, it means the file is corrupted and you'll have to redownload it. If you're on Windows, an easy way to check md5sum is to install this program - http://sourceforge.net/projects/cyohash/
After it's installed, right click on the downloaded file, got to CyoHash>md5. It will calculate the md5sum of the file, then check the verify field and paste the md5sum of the file which is posted by the maker.
If you're on Linux, you just have to open terminal in the folder where the file is located and type 'md5sum <filename>'
Now you redownload the file, check the md5sum with the one I've posted and then flash it. Before flashing make sure you wipe everything properly (boot, system, data, cache, dalvik-cache). First flash the ROM then flash Gapps.
Just for verification purposes, I see the same MD5 on the gapps3 I use.

I done the validation , it is the same code seen in the cyohash .So i guess the file doesnt have a problem.
Are you using standard CWM recovery installed from ROM Manager or are you using jokersax's modified version? You're supposed to use his modified version for ICS and JB ROMs.

Ok, do this. Extract both the ROM and gapps zips. Open them in side by side windows and copy the files in the gapps folder into the same respective folders in the ROM folder. Then in the ROM directory, where you can see META-INF, system, boot.img and other stuff, select all of those, use 7-zip to create a zip file or Right click>Send to>Compressed zip file. Be careful not to zip the folder with the ROM name. You need to go one level inside and zip the folders there. When you open the created zip file, it should show META-INF and other stuff. You said the ROM zip is flashing fine for you but the gapps one is not, so you might as well try putting the gapps files into the ROM zip once and for all.

what you mean the level one ?
Forgive me, but unfortunately my native language is not English ... So .. my research on this forum are very complicated.
After several attempts and with great difficulty I managed to download from droidbasemment "cm-10-20121030-EXPERIMENTAL-p4.zip."
At the same address I see that there is a file "cm-10-20121030-EXPERIMENTAL-p4.zip.md5sum" which I think is the MD5 of the ROM file of 152.52 MB.
If so, how can I verify the MD5 to make sure that the downloaded file is not corrupt?
Many thanks to those who want to answer. Hi

most recoveries will verify the file automatically if that md5sum file is in the same place as the ROM when you flash it. If you want to make sure now, just open the md5sum file in any text editor to see the correct md5 and then look at the properties of the ROM zip file and look at the calculated sum there and confirm they match.
kRel there is a app just for this, I have it on my pc, give me some time and I will post it for ya. dill

Thank you ... this applet I also have in my computer. It integrates in "explorer" and is called "HashTab v3.0.0"
But the problem is that inside the file: cm-10-20121030-EXPERIMENTAL-p4.zip.md5sum nothing!
If you have the Wifi 7510 tab that is the wrong md5, you want the p4wifi md5

Do you have winzip or 7zip, you need a file extractor to open the md5 zip?

search market for md5 and you'll find a ton of apps the will calc the md5 from a file you can compare that to the hash inside the md5 file posted by pershoot.
md5sum -c /path/to/file.md5
The *.md5 file and the file it corresponds to must be in the same directory together. This works from your device in a terminal as well.
I discovered the mystery ....
Opening the file from linux (ubuntu) shows a normal text file containing the MD5!
CWM is also able to read and verify the MD5. But I have not understand how to.
Maybe you need to copy the file to your tablet also MD5??
