[DM800HD] Calculating Check Sum.....HELP

VectorZ said:

I assume by the title of the thread you want to calculate the checksum of the file/image you're trying to flash with so you can compare if with the reported checksum of what it should be, right?

If so, on Windows install HashTab - once installed, right click on a file and select Properties and then click on the File Hashes tab. Give it a second and it'll calculate the checksum for you to compare elsewhere, or you can click to select a local file to compare with, in case you're trying to find duplicates. The MD5 checksum is the most common.

On Linux/STB - Telnet into the box and either ls to the path of the file you want to check or include the full path into the command:

md5sum path/file

so for example:

md5sum image.gz

md5sum /tmp/image.gz
