So some people with their download links have MD5: (hella numbers) and from reading it, im guessing it's some alternative download method.
so i dont really know, what is MD5 and how do you use it. or why would you use it.

Exactly what it says... It's a bad download check your connection and check the MD5's

Ive donwload many roms from many websites and they all sayh that so theres no way the donwload is bad because plenty of other people run it just fine also when i go to fast boot it says missing some file beginning with PH3xxx or something like that could this be why? ive restored my phone many times and re installed stock RUU and it always says this

Understandable, but all servers and home internets can corrupt the download, like i said check the MD5 Checksum and see if they match
And no, the PH3.img file is to Update your hboot which you do not need to do unless you are not on ICS

what is the MD5 checksum?

It's a checksum to verify is you have a good download or not, most devs have them on the post or when you are downloading, then google MD5 Checker and check the MD5's and see if they verify if they do, you have a good download if not well redownload until you do because it will be Bad/corrupt

No, like I said verify the Checksum
MD5: Checker http://download.cnet.com/MD5-Checker/3000-2092_4-10410639.html
Then check With the OP or the site where you download the rom for a MD5
What are you exacting?? You shouldn't be exacting nothing except the "boot.img" aka the Kernel Or if a WCX Rom Wildchild's recovery...Everything else stays as an .ZIP

Can someone post jcsullins new Rom on something other than goo. Two days and I still can't download it. Seems like I haven't been able to download from goo in weeks.

If you can point me to the exact file download (URL) I will attempt to mirror a copy. I'm not sure if I'd be able to leave it up, but surely I could do so just long enough for you to download the file.

Looking around, I'm guessing it's the following, most recently dated?
http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/testing/cm-10.1-20131121-SNAPSHOT-BLUETOOTH-tenderloin.zip
I've mirrored a copy at the following location:
HTTP: http://www.rootfiles.org/pub/mirror/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/testing/
FTP: ftp://anonymous%40rootfiles.org:[email protected]/pub/mirror/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/testing/
If @jcsullins doesn't approve I'll take it down (and or happily grant him full write access). :]
Wow Thanks a million! Spent days trying all times of night and day to get this. It is, to me, the most stable thing for TP. Two months and hasn't had one issue. This is the newest version. Owe you big time. Don't know how you managed it. But darn happy you did.

I am guessing you have a bad download. I was struggling with a ROM and GAPPS update and both had the same error message while using TWRP ("Failed"). What program are you using to the download the zip? Seemed if I used ES File Explore to download it would always Fail. Seemed if I downloaded with my browser (in my case, Next browser) and made sure it did the download correctly, TWRP could correctly install the zip. You can also check the MD5 to make sure it was correctlly downloaded.
Hope this helps.
I read some where said that "remerber check MD5"
I dont know why,
Where can I check it?

Use this WinMD5 to check them. Oftentimes, the developer will post the MD5 check-sum with a download file. You use it check if the download was corrupt.

Check the md5 of your zip and make sure you have a good download - if you haven't already.

Downloaded it from cm site so i think it's legit, the download doesnt get a chance to start. The log says that MTP is enabled, but it dont know if that affects the installation.

Even if "legit" you can get a bad download. I won't flash without checking md5. Bad downloads happen.
