What's up !
Just read the thread "MD5 Verification"
Thanks EL-president for the Various ways on Android :)

But,
when downloading mostly we use PCs ( Windows and Mac alike )
I think ,
Even ways to check MD5 in a PC must be added :)

May be HashTab is a Amazing software !
It is for Windows and Mac and allows almost all the checksums to be calculated :p
Pretty easy to use and Free :D
Rhash is Open Source solution for Linux ! its damn amazing !!

For linux I think, rhash is the best out there !!
Both Hashtab for Win and Mac and Rhash for Linux support calculation of checksums from MD2 to SHA512 to Whirlpool anything you love ;)

HashTab:
HashTab tool to quickly find file hash information

Rhash:
RHash | Free Development software downloads at SourceForge.net
 
My ubuntu install checks md5 without any additional software.

It's valid to check md5 on a pc, but much of what is downloaded goes onto the sd card with exception to hboots and perhaps odin devices (samsung).

It's worth noting that anything that is going into sd card should be checked via android, regardless of whether it was checked on a pc as the sd card is the most unstable aspect of the entire chain after downloading

Yeah I check most things on my phone and not on my computer, in fact I download most to my phone without the computer involved at all.

If you have the commands to check MD5 on linux without the use of additional software I will gladly update the sticky to contain that as well.
 
we do have MD5 inbuilt in Mac also
, but for stylish development threads, I provide Whirlpool and SHA512 checksums :D :D :D
Sometimes for fun :D
also they are better than MD5 as wikipedia told me :p

Cool.

Same as android. So for dGB.zip as an example ;)

check:
Code: 
md5sum dGB.zip
create:
Code: 
md5sum dGB.zip > dGB.md5

This is assuming the path is the same though. So really it would be path/filename
 
I am a bit of a linux noob (understatement of the year :o) is this correct?

To check the MD5 sum on a linux machine open a Terminal session and type "md5sum filename.zip"

To create the MD5 sum on a linux machine open a Terminal session and type "md5sum filename.zip > filename.md5"

I just want to make sure I get this right (and in the right format) so I don't update the sticky with wrong info ;)
 
Yep its right. It may be worth using an example though, like md5sum home/username/Desktop/filename.zip

Thanks the sticky has been updated again with that additional info :D

Thanks, sorry, just one thing. You would need the path before the filename for both the input and output on the create example....

md5sum home/username/Desktop/filename.zip > home/username/Desktop/filename.md5


Or

cd home/username/Desktop
md5sum filename.zip > filename.md5

I would also recommend being explicit by stating that the assumption is that the file to check is indeed home/username/Desktop/filename.zip
 
How is that? I figure if someone is using linux they should know how to change directories or won't mind typing out the path to the file...trying to keep it somewhat tidy looking ;)
