I had the same issue, the md5 matched fine but the zip appeared empty when opening it with root explorer. Normally I can see all the contents of a zip file using root explorer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] elijahbrown:
Looks like the original file is corrupt then. A reupload won't help without repackaging the zip first. :/

I didn't have issues with the deoxidized rom. I downloaded it, modem, and kernal on the first day the thread was created. I did download from a PC; I like to use Chrome. I then transferred the files to my SD card on the GN2.

As for what difference between oxedized versus deoxidezed, you'll seen no difference from the interface side of things. I would suggest you read up on the difference between the two. The differences are more in the background. Basically, the oxidezed how portions of the programs separated from the program, which allows them to be preloaded when the phone boots. This allows apps to start up faster. It also lets the phone boot faster. Deoxidized, the programs are put into one piece. Phone will take longer to boot, and apps may take longer to start up. The advantage for deoxidezed is that it can be easier to programs apps or mod. This is why we saw the mutliwindow and the 4-1 reboot mods for the deoxidezed roms. This is really rough explaination, so I recommend doing a google search on it to where it can explained much better.

as for flashing, you should need to revert back for LJC. I've read the issues about some having with LTE.

I think they key is making sure you you wipe the cache, davick, and system prior. Also, flashing modem and rom. You may want to do the kernal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Exactly. As for those who have sucessfully flashed the roms, it must have been the very first uploaded files and not the most recent versions.

So yes I would agree the zip files themselves are corrupt. They both need to be repacked and tested. I'll be waiting patiently for the deodexed because I like to be mostly stock and this reom is what I want to flash right now.

Edit: Nvmnd. Didnt read any of the later comments. It appears theres an issue with the uploaded deodex file. Wish I would have read those sooner, lol.

I am unable to flash the deodex zip for some reason. It continues to fail. I actually am not even able to put it on the root of my SD card. When I try to transfer it over I get an error message saying "The device has either stop responding or has been disconnected" which is not the case at all seeing as how I'm able to move EVERY other file to the card but when I try to move that one file it fails to move. I tried downloading the file directly from my phone which worked but when I flash the file it fails. I'm currently rooted an a deodex stock LJC ROM. I'm kind of at a loss here. I dont know what to do to move over to a deodex MA7 stock rom.

the original zip files are not corrupt as they are both sitting in front of me and work fine on both the pc and the phone. it is a product of uploading them and happens quite often at AFH for some reason. when I get home this morning I will re-upload the files.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndroidFileHost:
This is the first I have heard of this. Unfortunately people forget to contact me and report issues like these so the issue can linger on for months and I never know.

I am more then willing to help diagnose issues and get it resolved asap. I have at many times pulled over in my car just to reply to comments and reports via the websites contact page.

I do need some more info on this issue. When you are uploading are you seeing a mismatch in the MD5 that is generated on the site compared to the original files MD5? Also what browser? Let me know that and then I can proceed to look into other possibilities. If this is just a issue with the web up loader then I can give you a ftp account that can help prevent issues like a broken connection/interruption that can cause corrupt files.

The very few reports of bad uploads I get are due to the devs network. Its hard to pin point and even help from our side. If you want to email me a traceroute and a ping from your computer to my main server that will help. I suspect there may be some answers in there. Also for the 2-4 devs that have issues with web uploading there issue is solved by using the ftp import method I provide. That way the upload can be resumed if there is any network interruptions.

Thanks

Alex

I am working on a app that will verify your downloads with the md5 on the site. If you are getting a bad download please verify that the file you downloaded has the same md5 as the one on the site.

Also devs need to verify the md5 of the uploaded file to their original file.

I have flashed the all-in-one file, the modem, the kernel, and the odexed rom.

It seems to be running fine (can't check LTE as I was not getting that here in

Brooklyn before installing it, so I am not expecting it now). When I look at about

device, I see I have the right baseband, kernel and build, but the Android version

listed is 4.1.1, and I though from looking at other screenshots here that this was

supposed to be 4.1.2. Something I did wrong here?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
alex, i think it has something do with uploading from the web or when propagating to the mirrors. it doesnt always do it but occasionally it does. the zip files i uploaded the other day were good zips and whenever someone downloads them they are somehow corrupt even though they have matching md5 sums. we appreciated your site greatly. i didnt think as many people were having problems with it as they were or i would have reported it to you sooner.

Hi, thanks for responding here. From a users POV, I can tell you I've had consistent issues downloading in-tact files from AFH (across multiple machines and networks). Typically, the download completes successfully, but the MD5 will not match. Sometimes, the download will freeze 1-2bytes from completetion and will have to be restarted. In all cases, "delete & try again" has been the solution.

*Not to be rude or call anyone out* (Noticed I removed the name out of the quote), but if your phone is THAT important to where it costs you money if something goes wrong, maybe you shouldn't be flashing. This is a hobby, and people upload their work for end users to use. No one forced you to flash it.

Here's a guide I wrote and files needed to go back to stock. But even with Odin, your phone must be seen by the computer. I would remove and reinstall your drivers if I were you. 9 times in 10 that will fix your issues.

Re: [ROM][Kernel][Firmware] Stock-Rooted L900VPAMA7 Odex / DeOdex [02/19/13]

You just have a different version of Odin. Disregard the color. You need to leave the phone connected. If you are going back to stock. You won't be flashing the recovery. You should be flashing the image tar of the stock rom. If you are reading the my guide from a computer. Look at the tabs on the top of the guide. There should be two tabs. Make sure you choose unroot return to stock tab. It sounds as if you are using the how to root guide.

I looked at the unroot and your pictures look like the one i had in front of me. I got it to TWRP then use it to flash the billard412 ljc restore zip. it's successful.

I wanted to thank t3 for putting these flashables together; they worked like a champ and made it very easy to upgrade to MA7. :good: :good:

I came over to the N2 from (originally) a rooted, s-off & TWRP'd OG EVO, and most recently a rooted, s-off, TWRP'd EVO 4G LTE running MeanBean ROM.

The N2 was rooted on stock LJC, with TWRP.

After reading this whole thread, I went ahead and dove in:

1) Backed up with TiBu.

2) Ran a nandroid backup.

3) Copied both the Stock L900VPAMA7 All-In-One Firmware and MA7 DeOdex Version to the root of my external SD card.

4) Rebooted into TWRP recovery from goo manager; wiped dalvik and cache.

5) Installed the firmware from the SD card.

6) Rebooted system and checked functions; all ok.

7) Rebooted into TWRP recovery from goo manager: wiped dalvik and cache.

8) Installed the ROM from the SD card, and let it do its thing.

9) Rebooted system; successful install, everything is updated including the kernel, which was included in the ROM.

10) Rebooted into TWRP recovery, and made a nandroid backup labeled "02-20-2013 MA7 Update".

11) Rebooted system, and profit!

I hope these simple to follow instructions will help somebody out; just trying to pay it forward. :D

Again, thank you t3 and all who participated for your hard work and effort in putting this together. It is much appreciated.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
You can just flash the ma7 all-in-one firware by itself any time. You don't have to go back to ljc now. The firmware zip doesn't touch data or rom nor does it make your current data incompatible or anything. You just need twrp or other custom recovery.
