Md5sum is a mixture of numbers and letters which is unique for every file or data. Commonly md5sum is used to verify the integrity of files, encrypt data, etc. We can ensure that we get the correct and complete file or data from the provider by verifying the md5 checksum.
As an Android user I am frequently changing ROM in my phone. In my home my broad band gives 'Does not have a valid IP configuration' error at least once a day. Sometimes the error comes while I download the ROM package. So it is necessary to verify the MD5 checksum of downloaded file before flashing it as flashing the corrupted or wrong file is enough to brick the phone.
In this post i included the ways to check the file sum in Windows, Mac , Linux and Android.
1. Download and Install HashTab From Here or Here
2. After Installation .. Right click on any file you wish to check the md5sum and click Properties.
3. In the Properties window click on File Hashes tab to get the md5 hash details.
1. Open Terminal App and navigate to files directory.
2. Type md5 your_file_name.extension Or Type md5 followed by one space, then drag and drop the file to the terminal.
3. Hit Enter....and wait till the terminal returns the md5 hash....That's it.

2. Navigate to the files directory
3. Now type md5sum your_file_name.extension or Type md5sum followed by one space, then drag and drop the file to the terminal.

In Android there are many File Management apps available in Play store which gives md5sum along with other properties. I use ES File manager in my mobile since my first android mobile. So, I included the method to find md5sum in Android using ES File Manager.

2. Open ES File Manager and Navigate to the file you wish to check the md5 sum.
