[Q] How should my MD5 Checksum read

[946.5Diesel]

Ok I'm a "Noob" to the Android phenom happening. Don't scold me for asking plz.

I've got "S-OFF" on my Sensation 4G and am flashing ROM's to see which I like but I'm not sure my MD5 is right.

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT - 1.17.1011
RADIO - 10.13.9035.19_M

That's what my phone is showing but i keep seeing I need 10.54.9035.00U_10.13.9035.19_M

Being that the last is identical am I good or do I need to try some other method to update the RADIO?

MD5 is to check for files.. not for phones..

This is md5.

In regards to your question, yes, you have the correct radio. You will not see "10.54.9035.00U" if you are in the bootloader screen.

However, you will see it under settings->about phone->software.

MD5 sum checks integrity of the file. There should be an MD5 listed for the file you are downloading.

Download the file, then checksum. If it matches the MD5 listed, you're good to go.

If not, there's something wrong with the file, try to download again. If still no good, get on the thread and let somebody know. Big files (like ROMs) may take a minute or two to before sum appears, be patient.

What file to download?

Just look around on the site you downloaded it from, there usually is a MD5 provided. You will just have to compare the numbers (you can do that when rebooting into recovery, then trying to find check MD5 of a file, then selecting the file you want to check).

I don't know about an automatic way to check it with recovery, with some ROM update mechanism it might.

This is an MD5 sum btw: 555d6458ed45e716eb22ced991393e35 and they must match exactly otherwise your download went wrong somewhere and you should download the files again.
