[Galaxy S I9000 General] myrddral:
Hi all!

I'm sure many of you are confident on doing this, but some are not. This quick how-to is for the scenario when you have Froyo installed with Recovery3e which is the default recovery and you're trying to make a backup of your firmware in Rom Manager without flashing another kernel via Odin.

You click on "backup", the phone reboots to ClockWorkMod Recovery. Or not. You will see Recovery3e popping up with an error message telling you that the package is not signed. Fear not, here's the solution:

Pre-requisites:

Phone must be rooted

Rom Manager installed

ClockWorkMod Recovery installed from within Rom Manager

After getting the error message, just take the battery out and simply apply volume UP + Home button + Power button to get to recovery and CWM will come up, doing what you've asked it for! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rickg99:
Just installing CF-Root with Odin is the simplest solution for me which roots your device and installs ClockworkMod

[Galaxy S I9000 General] alexhull24:
Is there any useful advantage to loading the latest version of CWM using the market app?

I originally flashed mine with CF-Root, but since have flashed the speedmod kernel and that seems to have changed it again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sean2476:
I have just updated my rom manager and the change is a new layout with icons and it looks much nicer :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] myrddral:
The guide is for those, who don't want to change the factory kernel in the rom. Flashing CF-Root/SpeedMod/Voodoo or whatever you sympathize with is the best solution I agree, as it comes with several benefits aside rooting, but not everyone wants to do it that way.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bawdz:
I would add, just to be sure, after backup copy the backup file to external SD card..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vios06:
hi, i did the same and got the update.zip in my phone but when i try to apply it during 3e recovery, i always get the <E:failed to verify whole-file signature xxxxx Installation abort>

can anyone help me with this issue?

many thanks in advance.

p/s: the phone is already rooted and rom manager installed with the latest CWM recovery 2.5.1.2

current firmware 2.2, kernel version 2.6.32.9, build number froyo.DXJPE
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dereut:
same issue as last post, I have successfully rooted the phone with oneclick, I have installed rom manager, I have flashed CWR (v2.5.1.2) phone is GT-I9000, Firmware is 2.2.1, kernel 2.6.32.9, build FROYO.BOJS5 and baseband is I9000XXJPY

I checked, root is working and rom manager got the proper root access

if I access "backup your current ROM" it takes me to the recovery v3 mode, where there is no backup options. if I try to apply the update.zip, I got the error signature not verify. I remove the battery, I reinsert it and the phone reboot to the recovery3, I apply the update.zip again and get the same messages, again and again.

I could probably install CF-ROOT but I would like to do a nandroid backup first and this is never presented in the options

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Asterix040:
Same here!

On same ROM...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dereut:
There is an excellent guide on this forum, and on another one that specify that galaxy s with froyo 2.2.1 and recovery3 needs to install CF-ROOT :

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000

and

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1035995

what this thread here is about is how NOT to need CF-ROOT

this is a bit like biting your own tail. I think the most important part for me is: if you flash another kernel, can you revert to your previous one as it is not possible to do a nandroid backup before flashing the kernel

for warranty sake, it would be important to be able to revert to a nandroid backed-up ROM, then revert to recovery3 than unroot the phone before bringing it back in case of need of repair

I found an app, sgs kernel flasher, it might be possible to backup the original kernel this way

so it would go like this :

root the phone (onclick root worked well with my phone)

install rom manager

install sgs kernel flasher

backup the kernel

flash CF-ROOT as describe in http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000 (the clearest guide I found so far)

flash CWR (or is it not necessary with CF-ROOT)

do a nandroid backup

save preciously the backup and the previously backed up kernel

play with the new toys .....

when warranty is needed:

restore the nandroid backed-up ROM

revert to original kernel with sgs kernel flasher

unroot with oneclick

can someone with experience revue this list and tells us if it sound correct ?

thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dereut:
I went a bit further, following my own post just above :

my phone is already rooted and has ROM MANAGER installed

I used the first option of ROM manager and flash the last CWR. that has created a update.zip on my sdcard, but I cannot use it as I am still on recoveryv3

I backed up my kernel using "sgs kernel flash" (found on market)

I flashed a new kernel : CF-Root-XW_XEN_JS5-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1.zip. this is because my phone build is build FROYO.BOJS5 (noticed the 2 JS5)

rebooted the phone, I open ROM Manager and went to "reboot into recovery"

there I was on recoveryv2, with very little options but I "apply update.zip" twice (first one failed)

I rebooted and suddenly I had access to the new flashed recovery, CWR with backup options

I did a nandroid backup

one trick, the OK button became the right most button, and not the center one anymore

one think left to do, revert to stock samsung with recovery v3. to test the complete process

another trick, the CF-ROOT kernel came package into a zip files and when trying to flash it with sgs kernel flash it fails. you need to unzip the file first, it will gives you a .tar file, this one can be flash successfully

so all together, we can flash a new kernel all from the phone, without ODIN and without a PC (windows, Linux or other)

reup
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Asterix040:
You and me are in exactly the same situation. To do nandroid backup for warranty reason we have to brake that same warranty.

Only I didnt use cf-root, I went for hardcore speedmod...

[Nook Color General] michellekorb:
Ok - I am attempting to install CM7 on an SD card using verygreen's instructions. I need everyone to pretend I am their grandmother and expect that is the technical knowledge I posess :).

I "think" I wrote the image file correctly to the SD Card. I used the Win32 DiskImager thing and wrote it there. However, when I go to put the CM7 zip file it says the card needs to be formatted first. So I format it.....but then doesn't that get rid of the image I jsut wrote to it?

Either way, I can't get the damn thing to boot to anything other than the regular Nook screen.....It is rooted already, but I dont think that should matter. Do I need a setting somewhere to select that it boot from the SD Card?

HELP! I'm stuck at the most trivial of places :(
[Nook Color General] Cl0wnbaby:
I would try the instructions again and not format it before trying to boot the nook from it...when I loaded it onto the SD I didn't need to format it after applying the image (as you said...this erases it)
[Nook Color General] michellekorb:
But when I go to add the zip file I can't because its telling me it needs to be formatted. I've tried formatting it first before doing anything but once I write the image file it wont let me add the zip.....
[Nook Color General] joobu:
After you format do you eject the card and then re-insert it?

Otherwise, try another SD card. I find the Nook Color is picky about the SD Card.
[Nook Color General] michellekorb:
Well, apparently I wasn't writing the image correctly. I was writing the .img file not the .gz file (which required me to get some 7zip thing). I extracted it to the SD Card, and then it allowed me to put the .zip file on the card.

But it still won't boot to the SD card. Do I need to do anything other than turn it on with the sd card in the nook? Do I need to change a setting anywhere to allow it to boot to sd? Is it ok that my nook is rooted?

one thing after another :)
[Nook Color General] joobu:
Wait, what? You should be doing:

1) use win32diskimager to write 'generic-sdcard.img' to a card

2) eject the card

3) re-insert card

2) copy the file 'update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip' to the partition that appears. DO NOT UNZIP
[Nook Color General] michellekorb:
When I used image writer and wrote the .img file, it didn't let me add the .zip file to the card.....said I needed to format it first. Since it was named .img.gz I thought maybe I needed 7zip to extract.
[Nook Color General] joobu:
This is getting confusing.

Do NOT unzip 'update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip'

Do unzip 'generic-sdcard-v1.1.img.gz' -> 'generic-sdcard.img'
[Nook Color General] michellekorb:
i'm glad i'm not the only one confused! You totally helped me...I needed to unzip the .gz thing and then write the .img file (I told you to talk to me like a grandma!)

Its booting now.....I see a penguin!!!

Hey guys,

So I've looked and looked and looked, and haven't seemed to be able to find a way to install any Asian language pack onto my Gingerbread keyboard. I'm an International Studies major, and I do a lot of Korean, so I'm kinda looking for a way to get that installed... This was perfectly simple BEFORE I rooted, it was just a matter of selecting the correct locale and then swiping the spacebar when I wanted to switch languages. But then I rooted to Syndicate rom and I lost my Samsung keyboard...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Kangaji

have you tried MultiLing GengerBread Keyboard? you can download language packs for it and switch to which ever pack you download.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafyperez:
I trying to unlock my XOOM WIFI from COSTCO, when I ran the command

adb reboot bootloader

The XOOM reboots show the message STARTING FaSTboot protocol support and stuck in there, I have to VOL UP & Power to reset it.

What I am doing wrong.?

I do not want to do the ONE CLICK to avoid wiping the machine completely.

Do I need to wipe it the first time?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HazeT:
you need to have fastboot in your machine, then you can run:

fastboot oem unlock

it will ask you to use volume up/down keys to confirm "twice" the terms of service and will unlock it for you.

please not that unlocking it will void your warranty right away, so unless you are a developer or have a very good reason to do so, I would not recommend it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stbbrat:
You are doing it right.

adb reboot bootloader

is supposed to bring you to "Starting Fastboot protoco"l screen. Just continue and enter the commands as the instructions entail. If this is the first time you are rooting the device though you will end up wiping everything fyi.

Most likely it's a driver issue when it says "waiting for device."

Make sure you are running the commands from the directory on your computer that the adb file is in. For example, make sure you do a CD "\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools" if that is where adb and all the necessary files are.

So, today I dropped my dhd.... literally 3 feet, nothing crazy..... and it has a full body invisible shield and an otterbox case.... it did land on a corner, wood floor.... now, when I go to wake the phone up.... it turns on. It is randomly powering off since the very, gentle fall.....

It does not make a lot of sense, any thoughts or recommendations appreciated.

[Desire HD General] audiobookman:
sim card not making connections properlly will cause the phone to reboot, as i found out when i first got my desire hd, my 15 year old simcard was too worn to make a clean connection. once i went down to the tmobile shop they descovered it was that at fault after i said the phone was knackard.

simcards will compress very slightly over its life causing poorer connections.

if the problem has now dissapeared it may be worth your while getting a new sim if it is of age.

Hello guys,

Funny thing, I gave my dad a DHD to play around with (hoping that he will finally get rid of his BB), just a few days ago in his office he mistakingly dropped it 7 floors down to the parking lot.

Amazing, just amazing, except a few bumps here and there, a cracked Sim cover and a bit broken battery cover, the DHD came back to working without and problem.

I am sure if it did not happen to me I would have been sceptic, but IT REALLY HAPPENED.

Thumbs up htc for a strong unit.

I dropped mine from my pocket and nothing happened, not even a scratch.
[Desire HD General] tolis626:
I'm gonna report an incident I've reported again in the forums.

When I first got my DHD,about one week if I remember well,I went for a drink with some friends.Before we went to the pub we usually go to,we wanted to eat something,so we went to this fast food.While we were waiting for our food,we were saying the usual bull**** we always say with the guys.Sometimes though we tend to pull the strings,and I told one of them off badly,so he decided to punch my leg.Unfortunately,with his full strength,his fist landed on my new,shiny and unprotected DHD,which was in my pocket.As soon as I realised it,my heart went at the kidney's place,the kidney went at my stomach's place and my stomach went all the way to my head out fear! :eek:

Next day?My DHD was like nothing happened and my pal's hand was almost broken.

Yep,thumbs up HTC! :D
[Desire HD General] Mr.Kakarot:
yea, it was pretty weird and once in a while... I hit the power button and it is OFF again, not rebooting... off, hitting the wake button turns it back on.... might be software etc....

but on that day, it was happening every 2o minutes, lol

I love htcs design.

[Thunderbolt General] trueplaya89:
Hmm another odd thing it does, is during a phone call the top part of the screen around the status bar kind of gets a greenish tint during the phone call if the person I am talking to doesn't have a picture. Is that the updated sense doing that? My Evo never did it. I'm gonna try and stress it again... I couldn't get it to swype properly, it would end the word before the I finished swyping it.

I hope I don't have a defective device :(

[Thunderbolt General] ang1dust:
This phone is awesome. I personally dont like waiting for devs to finish ROm/Kernals so i will be trying to bulid my own. Verizon / HTC have so many bloated items in this phone its unreal. Just debloating the phone makes it run faster via quadrant, overclocking it to around 1.4 to 1.5 is the most economical and i beleive most are able to do it with the required stock voltage (minues a little) and i get about 2200 on my 1.4ghz Senseless Virus ROM. Anyhow. The only thingthat gets to me is the lack of installed apps. Otherwise its freaking fast.

me and 9 other co-workers all got the thunderbolt the day it came out. two of us had horrific battery life and some lagging issues as well. i just wiped data and cache and seemed to fix it right up. you can give that a go or just root it and play around with all the kernels!!!!!!!! lol i can't go more than a few hours without flashing a new kernel...so addicting!!!!
[Thunderbolt General] JBO1018:
Even before I rooted and debloated mine I never had even the slightest lag. I would recommend trying to get it exchanged. It shouldn't lag at all unless you have some kind of huge app constantly sucking CPU and RAM in the background.

Do I have a dud? Or should I root it and see if these problems continue? Since I bought it from Letstalk.com, Would they even let me exchange it at a Verizon store? :confused:

I have seen many people having issues while flashing by recovery while others does not so even if its fact of lucky or not :D or the way they do it, i personally think that fastboot is more reliable for a CLEAN install.
