If you're going to go to ARHD 6.6.4 then you can flash right over the top without wiping all data. Just clear cache and dalvik.

checking md5 sum can be done from the 4ext recovery. Where you install from sdcard, there is an option to check md5. It's a long string that validates the entire zip file. To make sure it isn't corrupt from your download. The Md5 string for any mods or roms should be in the original post on a thread. Near the download link.

- No need to Super Wipe if you have 6.6.x already!!
- 3.32.401.x firmware is required!
- 4EXT Touch Recovery is required!

Secondly regarding md5

MD5 Checker tool: Download the file, unzip it and follow the instructions.

For ur convenience i have attached the file "MD5"

You do not need to superwipe. It is basically the same as 6.6.3 with minor changes and. Read the first few posts oh the arhd thread.

That is the Rom build number not the firmware. The .105 means you have sensation xe with beats now. All this info can be easily found with the search button or just reading a more
