You likely have a bad download-verify the file size of the download on the website and compare it to the size of the file you actually downloaded
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Thanks for the suggestion - I've tried 2 different versions of the battery mod and the file sizes seem to match what's on the site. Neither one works though :(

UPDATE: I got it sorted out with some guidance from a helpful poster. Thanks Ronin for offering assistance.

Glad you got it figured out-do you mind posting what you did in case someone else should run into this issue....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Sure, no problem. The problem was Rom Manager, it wouldn't let me flash 2.1.5.x, which is needed to install the battery mod. What I had to do was download 2.1.5.2 version of clockwork, move to clockwork "recoveries" folder on sd card, rename "2.1.5.4." so that Rom Manager could find it, then I was able to flash the 2.x version of clockwork, after which the battery mod worked fine. The problem was that before I did this, there was no 2.1.5.x recovery to flash.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Why depend on ROM Manager? You could have used terminal to flash it, then you wouldn't have had to rename the file and could have had it wherever you wanted.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
I know this is flame-worthy, but I was doing it through Rom Manager because it seemed easier and less prone to user error. I'm a competent guy, and I'm good at following directions and reading, but I'm not a tech whiz, so I guess I used Rom Manager because it's got a nice user friendly interface and streamlines the process.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
No flaming man, just a suggestion since so many people seem to have problems with corrupt recoveries and recoveries not "sticking" when flashing with ROM Manager. In your case it would have made life a lot easier as well.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Lol, yeah, I hear you. But once I realized what the problem/obstacle was, fixing it was actually really easy. It was just the issue of why it wasn't flashing. But I get your point - I could've not had to worry about Rom Manager at all.

Thanks, going forward I'll try alternative approaches to figure out what is easiest and what works best.

[General Questions and Answers] Desert Storm:
Hello,

I was wondering, how do people even become to think, about exploiting a device? Like how do you figure out, how to read the device's boot loader, and so on.

I have been programming in C++, C# and so on, just on the software level, but never on the hardware level. So it would be interesting for me to study about what it takes to be a hardware (Please forgive me for this, but) "hacker"/exploiter.

If anyone could tell me about their experience, or suggest what material I should be working towards, thank you.

HI! I'm a noob :). I want to flash a custom froyo rom, im tired of waiting for official kies update. So I need the original firmware from samfirmware.com incase something goes wrong or i want to update via kies, the problem is i don't know witch one to download. I'm from Europe, Croatia, bought my phone in T-mobile, went to service store and removed sim lock.

This is what my phone says:

Firmware version

2.1-update 1

Basic version

I5800XXJG3

Kernel

2.6.29 root

Version number

ECLAIR.XXJG7

on samfirmware there is I5800XWJG3 and I5800XWJG7
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
official froyo rom was released in india a few days back.

you can download it from samfirmware and flash it with odin

firmware is i5801DDJP2
[Galaxy 3 General] ka'cipeder:
its not the point in the official froyo or any newer firmware. the point is my original eclair firmware, so when i need i can get back to ir
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
oh i misunderstood your question. sorry i have no idea about that
[Galaxy 3 General] Vdvx:
I5800XXJG7 is your firmware i think

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshua3109:
Hey, the other day when i plugged my phone into my friends computer the usb debugging option popped up on my phone. Thinking nothing of it I turnt it off. Bad idea as now after resetting my phone it stays stuck at the white HTC screen because usb debugging is off. I can still access recovery and all that jazz, so is there a way for me to enable it again?

I am currently running version 2.4 of Leedroid and am planning on upgrading to 3.0. Thank you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Not without booting up the rom. And debugging is only for developement work and for things like rooting and S-Off but other than that, you don't actually need it at all. I don't see why it wouldn't allow you to boot up. Just reflash the rom you have and it should fix your problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshua3109:
I searched the Leedroid rom thread and somebody had the same problem as me. Lee said "did you disable usb debugging?" So, yes I would assume that this is the problem as the maker of the rom has said that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshua3109:
It would seem I am stuck then.. Will I restore my backup?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
Have a look into the leedroid-thread. The changelog says, that the debugging-issue is fixed.

I'd try to flash the new version via recovery, maybe that's the solution.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eviducre:
There still Sommer people having trouble with the debugging mode.

Normally you did a nand backup, don't you?! Try Young restore it, activate usb debugging if it is Notruf enabled already André reflash the new rom.

Ines the changelog where some infos about the debugging mode?

The ARC seem to have really bad receptions. I only have connection in the house, but in the garden it cannot connect to my wifi, signal is too low.

However, my HTC desire still have a good connection within 5-10 meters in the garden.

The Arc has connection in the house but signal is also low and not very good.

Anybody the same problem?

Did you compare your nexus 1 with your ARC and which one does lost signal first when you walk as far as possible from the access point?
[Xperia Arc General] diggedy:

[Xperia Arc General] Mano1982:
No problem with my Wifi... Signal strength is same as i had on my X10 & Desire
[Xperia Arc General] Darth Glacious:
Signal power is lower on Arc than on X10 in my case.
[Xperia Arc General] mlai:
Wifi connectivity is also wierd with my 2 Arcs as well. I say wierd because I suspect it is more than just a signal strength problem.

The Arc definitely has poorer reception strength than my Desire HD. At the same location, my DHD can connect faster, at a higher speed (>72mbps vs max 54mbps on Arc), and much more stable than the Arc.

In fact, Arc's network connections frequently hang/drops especially when I have an Automatic push Exchange account and/or Enabled wireless location services. When it happens, all apps needed network connectivity will respond with error.

But this happens both with 3G and Wifi........

I have also heard that if one downgrade the wifi to network G only, Arc performs much better. Seems to be a serious issue with the arc's wifi.

The problem with my WiFi is the same, HTC Desire signal strength is much more better, then the ARC . The router is a Linksys WRT54GL .

First custom ROM i have used and i think its great. Small issue I am having though is every now and then all my emails will stop auto syncing. I am using 2 imap, 1 exchange, 1 pop. When i manually refresh I just get the blue loading circle and nothing else. I reboot the phone and when it comes back on I get a email force close error and the exchange email is gone. The other emails start to auto sync again.

I downloaded the exchange email .zip on the Elite thread but now there are no email widgets that update the new email on the home screen (no email widget at all for that matter)

Any suggestions or setting that may be wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mossy1963:
This has worked for me several times.

Problem - Kies stays in connecting mode forever.

Reason - Think I once had Odin and Kies open at same - seems to mess up drivers and connection.

Solution:

1. Make sure Odin is closed.

2. Put phone into download mode.

3. Start Kies with phone connected to PC in download.

4. Leave it to install drivers. This may take a few minutes, be patient)

5. Disconnect phone from PC and reboot

6. Ensure USB debugging mode is off

7. Ensure nothing is running on phone and you are on home screen

8. Connect phone to PC and run Kies

9. It should connect.

This has worked for me several times.....I hope it works for anyone having this problem. If it doesn't please don't flame me. If it does, please hit the "thanks" button.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mossy1963:
The problems most people appear to be having connecting to KIES are with standard phone setup after dabbling with Odin. I first encountered the connection problem after forgetting to close Odin and opening Kies, even after reinstalling drivers. Hence me connecting my phone in a few different modes to see if drivers got sorted...and it appears they did !

I really hope my solution helps others out too

If you go into VaelPak Settings, you should be able to download a flashable zip that will update you from RC1 to RC2, but I would probably recommend just backing up your apps and launcher settings, then wiping and flashing RC2. Vaelek mentioned there was a higher instance of issues when updating vs. flashing clean.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anticipation:
Got a new Vibrant with Stock 2.2 KA6 and kernel 2.6.32.9

I had a fascinate (stock 2.1) before and I see lot of things differing in performance and battery life of the phone.

1. Battery doesn't last long. Lasts 12 hours maximum with wifi, email, gtalk running.

2. Battery lasts 24 hours on minimal email/gtalk/browsing using 2g mobile Network

3. Incall volume is too low, typed in the secret codes and increased it, but the call quality is poor. The sound has high bass and is not crisp and clear.

4. There is a lag while scrolling the apps and moving between different screens. Dont know why there is this rough scroll. Happens in all the apps through out the phone.

5. There is no flash and pics shot using night mode are of poor quality.

6. Some pics shot in day light also seem to be poor.

7. Browser hangs when the page has flash in it

Comparing this with Samsung Fascinate, Fascinate had better battery life and was ultra smooth and fast. Also the flash in the Camera made me a happy customer. Now since I moved out of US and compelled to use a GSM phone.

Now my priorities are to fix this phone:

1. To get better battery Life

2. To get better in call sound quality

3. Able to browse pages with flash in it.

4. To improve the performance of the phone, making it quick and responsive.

Can you tell me which rom/kernel would help me solve the issues.

I got very confused with so many kernels/roms and their versions. I'm not a tech type, so please help me.

My work requires me talking on phone with my clients and sending lot of emails and I'm currently not in US so cant change the phone easily.

Any help would be appreciated.

Related to the in call quality. I know that it's related to the sound.

Btw hows the battery life for trigger.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metzenw:
Im using the latest version of Bi-Winning flashed with the KB5 Modem, i've been unplugged for about 30 hours, with light usage, and im at 47% battery life. Call quality seems great. don't take many pictures with my phone. but the ones i have are Ok for a phone. Web Browsing is really fast for a phone, I was at Best buy playing with the Xoom, the Xoom was on Wifi, and my phone on 3G, and the Xoom was only loading pages 2-3 seconds faster, and the Vibrant was displaying flash alot better then the Xoom.

Anyway, you really can't go wrong with any rom. Bionix-v 1.3.1 is great, ran that for a month no problems, until i killed the GPS, and reflashed something Else. Trigger is also great. I'm running Bi-Winning because of the modified?? TouchWiz launcher, has the touchwiz app drawer, but with a customizable Dock on the home screen.

Edit: Voodoo Lag fix, if i understand it correctly, changes the file system on the System Partition from Samsungs RFS (Which isn't very good) to EXT4. Which makes the phone Much faster and snappier. As far as I've know/read, theres no downside to running Voodoo.
