3e RECOVERY

THAT is your problem......it has been stated 150,000 times on these threads since what, October? have a look around
[Captivate General] markmensch:
wow, thanks for that. You're exactly right: it IS listed in 150,000 threads, though I'm not sure which one is supposed to help...or how I should have intuitively known my broken ROM Mgr is associated with the search text "recovery 3e"...?

Reading through MANY threads (in XDA and others) from googling "Captivate recovery 3e sig" it seems that 149,999 of the threads are belittling us noobs for not finding the 150,000th thread that actually tells you how to do something about it. Well, I still haven't found the 150,000th thread, and I'm still looking. Unless you have a phobia against repeating that 1 rare thread, or perhaps want to help, maybe you can confirm the following (w/o going lethal on me and tricking me into bricking my phone out of spite:

1. The 3e recovery means every zip will be checked for signatures, even if I tried to turn it off

2. This means I can't install new packages (I'm not trying to)

3 this ALSO MEANS I CAN'T TAKE A BACKUP??? (never found that thread)

4. Either way, I need to go back to 2e or get the modified 3e that doesn't check for signatures (that will help me take backups again HOW?

so I should follow the steps in "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909213" and download "	3e_recovery_no_sig_check.zip" and then use terminal to:

1 enter command "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system"

2 copy the recovery file to /system/bin and replace the one there

3 reboot and you should have a modded 3e recovery with no signature verification

and then I can take backups again??
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
yeah, i guess it would be too hard to read the fkn stickies in the captivate section when you spent too much time typing up **** i wont read.

since you are too lazy to do so, here you go

[Captivate General] markmensch:
c'mon man, give a guy a flippin hint! Ran outta patience, and followed instructions above to replace the froyo stock 3e recovery in /system/bin with the modified version, all commands worked, then rebooted, and still no Backup option displayed in recovery!

-"Throw me a frickin bone here people. I've been frozen for thirty years, 'kay?"
[Captivate General] Rjpover81:
I have the same problem, when I asked about 5 guys started belittling me sayin crap like try looking for a search button, I too read tons of threads and to absolutely no avail, then got bombarded for asking. Like these guys werent newbies one time
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
really? you replaced the recovery? do you have an update.zip on your /sdcard? did you hit REINSTALL PACKAGES on the 3e recovery screen? what exactly HAVE you done or bothered to learn, because you have given absolutely nada about what you have actually learned and applied.

i was a newbie once. but you know what? i fkn read and learned exactly what i needed to know. i didnt fire up new threads on XDA because i was smart enough to gain the knowledge i needed by reading the INFO that is already out there......amazing eh?

people here hate repeating the same fkn information over and over and over, its fkn tiring....you would feel the same way if you have read the same fkn questions 1000 times over and you already knew the answers where here.

want to know WHY there are 1000 threads that dont have answers and only a few that do? BECAUSE RETARDS POST NEW THREADS WITHOUT SEARCHING!!
[Captivate General] markmensch:
been there, done that. New modified 3e recovery, just like I read from that thread, and still no backup option in recovery, regardless of whether I choose Backup from Rom Mgr, or I 3-finger my way in...

If you're gonna talk smack at someone for being lazy, put enough effort in to make sure they're BEING lazy, eh? I spent all afternoon reading through those threads, including the one you tossed me. However, what I HAVEN'T found in ANY of those threads, is some kinda mention that this is related MISSING BACKUP option from recovery.

Are you just barking up the wrong tree?
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
no

fail

you should be given an option when you boot straight into recovery now....STOCK RECOVERY, and one of those options is REINSTALL PACKAGES

if you have the update.zip from ROM manager on your /sdcard then all you have to do is hit reinstall packages, it will reboot to recovery and then hit reinstall packages AGAIN!

boom. you are in CWM where you can take your backup

now i know this has been typed half a million times on here because i typed it up more times than I can count......
[Captivate General] markmensch:
Man, you can talk some good smack. I followed the instructions from the thread you posted exactly; I *studied* them. There were several options there, I chose "FIXING 3e:", "Method 2 (manual)", following the link there, which was the same exact link I first referenced few hours ago. copied over recovery [actually backed up first] then rebooted, just like it said. Go back to the first thread, and it says, "at this point you are ready to install cwm recovery via update.zip or rom manager and flash whatever you wish." I chose the via "rom manager" as I wished. then booted into recovery again, and... no backup option.

Obviously, I'm missing something between the lines in these posts, I followed them to the letter. Now, you can step up, act like a Sr member and help someone, or you can continue act like a little ****-flinging monkey, calling people 'retards'.

*ring* *ring* hello? Do you have any SENIOR Sr. Members? This one's acting a little immature...
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
welcome to the jungle kid. this has been posted time and time and time again

sooooooooo

in ROM manager, you FLASHED CLOCKWORK RECOVERY?

then it booted into STOCK RECOVERY and you hit REINSTALL PACKAGES?

then it rebooted back into STOCK RECOVERY and you hit REINSTALL PACKAGES again?

then....wait for it.....it boots to CLOCKWORKMOD
[Captivate General] Rjpover81:
yesss it has and that is exactly what i did was re inst packages,what is this i hear about downloading the modded 3e recovery and using root exp to move it to system/bin (I downloaded the modded 3e but where can i find the system/bin file to move it to looked through my phone and didnt find it
[Captivate General] markmensch:
OK, that was somewhat helpful. Now I need to find the update.zip from CWM, I don't know if I have it laying around...or whether or not ROM Mgr woulda put it there. I actually tried the Re-install packages option, but perhaps there was no update.zip in place...

Now realize, that piece wasn't mentioned in those threads! Maybe you typed it so many times they're all running together in your head.
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
read that thread again.

if you still dont get it, then you have 2 options:

sell your phone and go buy that apple thing

or

leave it stock and dont mess with it

because based on that you shouldnt be breaking your phone
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
no...its just stated in a hundred other threads......seriously we have been hacking on this phone since JULY of last year and have had Froyo since september/october....this is all old news. nothing new here

[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
LOL....trollin ass. get back to work BPT
[Captivate General] markmensch:
Balls, Pirate, how the hel was I supposed to know to re-install packages TWICE? Well, looks like it worked.

Now I know there's many a noob out here who can search more and post less, and there is a LOT of flippin info in XDA to try and organize, and lotsa folks put a LOT of work to try and cram it into a useful order in the wiki...

...BUT man, more times than not, it seems like I find the most knowledgable folks in here just trolling for noobs to piss on. Seriously, I read through this stuff, but there's a lot left in between the lines that you proly can't see 'cuz you've done it a million times.

(yeah, that was a pretty crappy, still-fuming, type of thank you)
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
as i was recently told:

in response to me asking him if he forgot that i was a complete and utter asshole...in case you cant tell, i work in IT for a living. by the time i get off work, retards have already ruined my day, so im slightly jaded later in the day
[Captivate General] markmensch:
C'mon Pirate, you're just pissin all over again.

Rjpover81, what he MEANT to say, was:

Hang in there, noob, you're almost there!

you're using a file manager that doesn't ask for root access. So you can find another file manger that DOES ask for root, or you can dust off your unix-commands-reminder-list and do it all from the terminal. Just 'su' first to get root access, then cd, pwd, ls, and cp your way through there. You can copy over it by hand...

su

mv /system/bin/recovery /system/bin/bakup_recovery

mv /sdcard/external_sd/<WhereverYouPutIt>/recovery /system/bin/recovery

something like that. then, as Pirate was a friendly-kind-of-ass to put it, for some reason don't forget to re-install packages twice (don't ask me why)

just read all Pirate's rant at me, I was in the same place yesterday. And step away from the iPhone!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xSlimJimx:
I had installed [APR 02] AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB233 CM7|bkup2sdext234 [KERNEL:AmCanAndroid r3.06] (T-Mobile US version) today on my SD card, did the usual steps to get it started. It booted fine, but eventually, the touch screen is often non-responsive. So I rebooted back to windows mobile, thinking maybe its a bad install, unfortunately the problem is still there when in windows mobile.

I've done soft/hard reset, formatted my SD card, start up without SD card but it fails to correct the problem. :confused:

I thought if I just let it boot up to windows mobile, it would resolve the issue. As I'm typing this, it is still stuck on the windows mobile lock screen, and I can't unlock it. Funny thing tho, if I let it set for awhile and check it from time to time, I can unlock and use the touch screen , but eventually it goes non-responsive again.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!

**Touch screen was working fine before the install**

(I have HTC HD2 from T-mobile US)

1st time posting, hopefully it is the right area.. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] masondoctorjt:
It's just a coincidence. Try pressing the end key rather firmly and see if the touchscreen starts working again. If so, the ribbon that connects the Digitizer is probably damaged as it runs underneath the end key. (at least that's what some who have taken the HD2 apart have said). They will fix it under warranty if your phone is still under warranty. They did mine and it was over a year old. I did not run android or WP7 on that particular HD2 so I know that did not cause it. The phone I do dual boot WP7 and android is working good so far.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xSlimJimx:
I've tried what you said, it didnt seem to fix the problem.

Did you have to pay for the repair even though it was out of warrenty?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xceleration:
So for a while now, while anticipating getting my hands on a Nexus S of my own, I've been lurking in the forums and reading up on various things. I know for sure that I will be flashing custom ROMS and rooting my device. However, as this is my first android ever, do you guys think I should flash roms on it right away or should I stick with stock android and learn the OS first.

I was thinking that I wouldn't be able to appreciate the tweaks/improvements that are found in various custom ROMS if I didn't have experience with vanilla android. I am interested in hearing your opinions.

One other thing I was very confused about was whether or not you could flash custom roms/kernels without actually unlocking the Bootloader. I have read and read and the answer seems to be yes, but from my understanding it only works if your not on 2.3.3? (Sorry if this question has been answered time and time again, but the amount of information on this forum has been mindblowing, and I get more and more confused as I read on.)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drksilenc:
it depends on the phone really. for the bootloader lock but usually yes for any rom changes you need to install a custom recovery and that requires bootloader access
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Si_NZ:
Personally, I find one day is enough to find out all about the stock ROM.

If the phone you get is already running 2.3.3, then I'm unsure whether you can simply flash an older bootloader and root/flash custom ROMs without unlocking. If you get a phone running < 2.3.3, then you are in luck. Currently I'm running CM7 with the bootloader still locked.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poid:
yeah you'll get the hang of using the stock rom in no time. The Nexus S is my first android phone and everything has been so easy...i've flashed roms, unlocked the bootloader, rooted, flashed kernels and recovered using the nandroid backups. All so so so easy.

sorry ahead of time if this has been asked or answered ive been searching and have tried different methods but i was trying to get root and was going good but now i cant get past clockwork recovery screen ive used win32 to write to sd card and monsterroot and didnt work ive tried loading from sd card different rom images and nothing i have no clue on what to do or where im at with it but any help is appreciated thanks in advance if more info is needed please let me know
[Nook Color General] seeddemon:
You need to remove to SD to be able to boot. U can also try flashing a rom from clockwork if removing the SD was not your problem.
[Nook Color General] petec920:
ok took out the sd card and still booted into clockwork recovery than copied phiremo to sd card and did install from zip it installed than i rebooted without sd card and still goes back to cwr it said install complete too should i format sd card before copying a rom over to it? also could it be possible im missing a boot image? or is that included with a rom

Did you flash clockworkmod ver. 3.0.1.0?
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:
Wrong forum.

But these are the adb commands you need. Can be executed from cwr :

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /rom

dd if=/dev/zero of=/rom/devconf/BootCnt bs=1 count=4

dd if=/dev/zero of=/rom/bcb bs=1 count=1088

umount /rom
[Nook Color General] tenderidol:
When I had the same problem going from Autonootered 1.1 to Phiremod V2 Beta, the instructions in this tread helped me remove CWR (post #3 is what you need). I didn't flash any other ROM, etc; just needed to remove CWR, and everything worked fine afterwards.

Good luck!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roybens:
Hello,

I am trying to make this tethering work for several days, read lots of posts and still could not find a solution for making tethering work.

In summary it goes like this:

1. first i removed all the previous thethering entries from the db (carrier)and ran the gladenable script (after aroot of course).

2. If i try to add a new apn manually through the settings it deletes it when i finished editing the apn.

3. i edited in build.prop some field to false as someone said it would help (dont remember in which thread was it)

4. any how no matter what i try i still have only one apn which is my provider orange

please can any one help on this?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swiftks:
Should be in Q&A Section
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lindsaytheflint:
Personally, I just use the Wireless Tether app for tethering via WiFi, and it works very well.

If you want USB tethering, I've used EasyTether in the past (not on the Atrix, but I believe it should work, as it doesn't seem hardware specific).

Never bothered at all with the APN tethering...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Clown:
Moved to proper forum.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s0dhi:
In your APN settings, under APN type enter: default,tether

Try that out.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roybens:
Wow thank you very much it worked!!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnicotra:
That didn't work for me. It is funny, it did work back in 1.2.6 but not in 1.5.7. I even went back to 1.2.6 to double check and worked again.

Are there any of you who are able to tether outside AT&T on an unlocked Atrix running 1.5.7?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bl0wf1sh:
It has been mentioned in another thread... not sure which one.

For wireless (!) tether, you can try switching on WiFi first, THEN switching on the wireless APN. Some bug in the check script then forces the APN to start immediately. That worked for me at least :D If it does not work the first time, try again. May result in a couple of force closes the first time you try.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnicotra:

But lately the earphone jack cuts out with any little movement to the earphone at all, i cant listen to music with the phone in my pocket because it cuts out when i take a step.

If anyone has any easy fix for this weird problem, please tell me.

How did you get the plastic in there? i tried biting off a piece of plastic straw but it wont go in all the way
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] gs111:
Mine used to do that, but changing to new set of headphones (where the male connector wasn't so worn) fixed the issue for now.

I think the headphone jack is just a little sloppy on tolerances (and a little bit weak too). You might need to send it in for repair.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] 5nickers:

[Nook Color General] Seagrizzly:
Ok guys I am sure this info is in here if I just look, but I know how to use nandroid and other stuff that is necessary for roms, also know how to load them and such.

My quick and dirty questions are as follows.

1. If I root and break something can I always go back with a factory and data reset?

2. Is honeycomb even worth it or should I stick with CM7 for now?

3. Going on a trip tomorrow and would love to load some movies, what is the best format and player to use?

4. What is the best rooting method right now?

5. Also I like the nook magazine thing and books on it as well is it possible to run both OS's or start the nook app from CM7 or something like that?

That's about it.
[Nook Color General] cainhunpi:
1) Yes, its virtually impossible to brick the device, you might get stuck on a bootloop of something but that is alwas reversible to stock.

2)Cm7 for now. honeycomb has a LOT of problems. go with the Cm7/Tablet tweaks version

3) if you do a search for nook color handbreak presets, you will find it

4) to root go with auto-nooter.

Remember, Rooting and installing roms are completely different
[Nook Color General] asselin:
5. You can install an OS to an sdcard and keep the internal memory stock. Then when you want to switch, just pop out the sdcard and reboot. If you want CM7, take a look at the CM7 size agnostic sdcard image- it takes care of fixing up the standard CM7 builds so that they can be installed on an sdcard.
