That is because you have 3e recovery which does not allow you to flash unsigned files. You can check this out for the solution http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909213

i dont quite follow everything in that thread :( i'm faily new to this still. do i download adb shell onto my pc or do i do all this on my phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
if you cant use google and a few pointers to some valuable info, then you should NOT be doing any rooting/romming to your phone....period
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
You can do it one of two ways:

1) download adb onto your computer and use the commands.

Here's a video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/user/MobileTechVideos#p/search/0/y6K1XLmafPc

2) Use root explorer or a similar app like file manager to drop the modded 3e file from the link I gave you into the system/bin folder of your phones internal sd card. You have to be rooted to do this.

Have you checked the stuff you downloaded? And do you have advanced app killer? That keeps everything running smooth for me.
[Thunderbolt General] lambofgod13:
All android phones have a built in task killer putting a 3rd party task killer slows your phone down.

I haven't noticed any slowing in speed since I Installed it. I have noticed that it helps save the battery a little more and everyone know every little bit counts one the thunderbolts.

I too have noticed that. It just started yesterday for me. Very strange, I don't like it ha.

[Thunderbolt General] rh7camaro:
is there a way that i can root my thunderbolt without having to wipe it clean? everything i seem to find sayes that it will be complete wipe.
[Thunderbolt General] Forgetfull:
Nope. you can try and back up as much as possible but a total wipe is required.
[Thunderbolt General] rh7camaro:
In time is it possible to have a true one click root to root the phone. I am still learning everything it takes to do a root and this phone seems more difficult then some other phones. My buddy just rooted his fasinate, and it was easy as can be.
[Thunderbolt General] Forgetfull:
It's possible that there might be a 1 click that wont have to wipe data. But unfortunately to exploit the backdoor that allows root currently you need to revert to an old RUU.

What are you worried about regarding having to do a complete wipe?
[Thunderbolt General] ERIFNOMI:
I do full wipes all the time. Whenever I switch a ROM or even upgrade a ROM I do a complete wipe. What is it you're worried about losing.
[Thunderbolt General] rh7camaro:
This is my fist Android phone and I am still learning how do do everything. So I really don't want to mess it up. I am trying to do reserch on everything before I do the root.
[Thunderbolt General] Forgetfull:
Very smart. Once you get the root fever though...
[Thunderbolt General] meowlamp:
The Thunderbolt was my first Android as well and I did the same thing you did and made sure I had as much knowledge as I could before I rooted. I used the root on mac walk through and it worked perfect. Now I am flashing roms and kernals like it is going out of style. I even bricked the phone loading a rom the wrong way but with the knowledge I gained using bootloader to root it was an easy fix. Once you get the hang of it, it gets really easy.
[Thunderbolt General] rh7camaro:
Well that's good to know thats what I will be doing over the weekend. I have everything backed up and apps really don't matter. I just want to have more control over my phone. But I don't know if I want to wait a little longer till more roots are out or what. I really like this phone, and it becoming a brick does not sound fun
[Thunderbolt General] kendive:
Same here. Just wiped to load ROM Update.

There is alot of apps out there that will backup all your data without being rooting
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
There won't be any more "roots" that will come out. They are all done the same way. The only way you will get support is by doing it the manual way. Using a 1-click is more dangerous than doing it the manual way. (no one knows when/if unrevoked will come out with one for this phone) I highly suggest doing it the manual way.

Great to hear someone say that they are reading up and learning about it before they do it. We are finally getting some smart people to this forum :p

You didn't brick it...that would mean no possible recovery.

i came from a blackberry where there was no backing up and no playing around uner the hood. this left me very scared to rooted my thunderbolt but after two weeks of owning it i made the jump and did the easy root took a little bit of time but worked great now i jsut need to convince myself to flash a new ROM
[Thunderbolt General] RogerPodacter:
you only have to wipe and lose everything the initial time of rooting. after that point, you can backup everything when you want to switch ROMs and try things out. so you only lose stuff the first time.
[Thunderbolt General] hogowner:
I used the "3 click" method on many Thunders...and worked each and every time :) :D
[Thunderbolt General] bking_soda:
Agreed... This was my first Android coming from a blackberry. It was kind of nerve racking at first. I just read and re-read the posts in these forums and got it figured out. Best decision ever. Now I just like running into people with non rooted tbolts and letting them take mine for a spin. ;) Just take your time, don't worry about the wipe losing anything that can't be replaced and get rooted. Then find some roms to flash and see what works for you. Have fun.
[Thunderbolt General] tumbleweed65:
Rooting isn't bad the only problem i seem to be having is when i flash a new ROM and wipe i cant find the best way to go about restoring everything I try keeps adding more contacts to my list so far I have gone from 209 to last time i flashed was around 812?? it just keeps adding more copies of each contact I have....lol

any tips on what I'm doing wrong?
[Thunderbolt General] sprodigy:
Can anybody give advice on using Titanium Backup (free) to backup/restore data and cache? I heard Nandroid can achieve this, but I can't find it in the Market currently :confused:

I want to upgrade to a new RUU, but not lose EVERYTHING. How hard is this to achieve with Titanium?

Export contacts and import back in after rooting or installing new rom
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creeve4:
On all of the 2.2 ROMs that I've tried, when I use the back button to leave the Contacts app it does not close, but stays running in the background. Every other app closes when you exit via the back button.

Anyone else experiencing this?

How do I get Contacts to close when I exit via the back button?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
There is no real reason this needs to be closed. If android doesn't feel like it needs to be and it's in the background... I cant see how this possibly could matter.

If it really bothers you, long press on home, task manager, kill it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creeve4:
Thank you for the lecture, the correction. and for not answering my question :)

It really does bother me, shouldn't it work like all other applications and close when you exit via the back button?

I want it to close like all other applications when I exit via the back button so when I re-open it I can browse from the beginning of the list.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
The reason it stays open is because its one of the main apps of your phone.

Once you open it, it stays in the cache, because when you press the app again, it can load instantly and come on.

Whereas, if you exit it, and re-open it... it will tkae about 5 seconds more. depends on how many contacts you have. It doesn't waste more battery, it just saves you the 5 seconds.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
your question was how do you get contacts to close when you press the back arrow.

Rather than answer with "nobody knows" I thought I would point out that it doesn't matter, and it really should not bother you... BUT IF IT DOES, you can always long press home. Sorry for trying to help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex9090:
I think it does that on most 2.2 ROMS. On 2.2.1 it closes once you hit the back button. I have no idea why though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creeve4:
I'm not concerned that having it running in the background is wasting battery, in my second post I stated why I want it to close.

Thank you for the useful information.

[Android Software Development] greydarrah:
In my Android app, I have a sound that I want to play when a certain selection has been made from a spinner, but I want it to play the when the user actually makes the proper selection (or just after). My problem is that although the sound does play when they make the correct selection, as long as that selection stays chosen, it also plays every time the app starts up, when it should ONLY play at the time it's chosen. I think I need to change my setOnItemSelectedListener to setOnItemClickListener, but I'm not sure how (still pretty new to java). Can any generous soul out there show me how to change this up (assuming that's how to best solve this problem)?

Here is the code I have now:

fitnessSpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.fitness_spinner);
ArrayAdapter adapter4 = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
this, R.array.fitness_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter4.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
fitnessSpinner.setAdapter(adapter4);

fitnessSpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener()
{
@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long i) {
Log.d("test", "p: " + position + " " + i);
if(position == 0) {
//First Entry
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(mContext, R.raw.bowchica);
mp.start();
} if(position == 4) {
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(mContext, R.raw.debbie2);
mp.start();
}
}

@Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {

}

});
[Android Software Development] vostdev:
I haven't try the below code but you can try it on your own and tell us.

In onCreate() declare MediaPlayer mp;

In every if statement that you use for check insert this code:

if(mp!=null){mp.release();}
int resid = R.raw.yoursound;
mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, resid);

After that override the methods onPause() and onResume() and insert this:

if(mp!=null){mp.release();}

If it is still playing a sound when you start your app, then you should check your code again if you have set as default option any of your selection options.
[Android Software Development] greydarrah:
I would LOVE to try this out...Unfortunately, I'm way too dumb at this point point ot figure out exactly where those code snippets would go inside of what I already have.

Does anyone have a couple of minutes to show me where it would go?
[Android Software Development] vostdev:
Below is a sample code. Since i don't know your code I give you a snippet that you should adjust it to your code.

public class SampleSound extends Activity{
private Spinner fitnessSpinner;
private MediaPlayer mp;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);//here goes your layout

setViews();//here you will set all your views(spinners buttons textviews etc..)
setAdapters();//set your adapters here
setListeners();//
}
private void setListeners() {
fitnessSpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener(){
@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long i) {
Log.d("test", "p: " + position + " " + i);
if(position == 0) {
//First Entry
if(mp!=null){mp.release();}
int resid = R.raw.bowchica;
mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, resid);
mp.start();
} if(position == 4) {
if(mp!=null){mp.release();}
int resid = R.raw.debbie2;
mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, resid);
mp.start();
}
}

@Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {

}

});

}
private void setAdapters() {
ArrayAdapter adapter4 = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.fitness_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter4.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
fitnessSpinner.setAdapter(adapter4);

}
private void setViews() {
fitnessSpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.fitness_spinner);

}
public void onResume(){
super.onResume();
if(mp!=null){mp.release();}
}
public void onPause(){
super.onPause();
if(mp!=null){mp.release();}
}

}
[Android Software Development] greydarrah:
I really appreciate the help. I put the code in my routine, but it still plays the sound every time the activity is loaded (as long as the selection in the spinner is correct). It should only play the sound when the correct selection is made.

Any other ideas?
[Android Software Development] vostdev:
I am sure that your Spinner is set to some value (since you have values to display). Because your Spinner points to a selection (doesn't matter if you have selected or it is selected by default) your sound plays (even when you start the app).

A way to stop the sound playing at start is to declare and an other Item like you did with the previous 4 and set it as default selection of your Spinner.

To sum up:

1.You have to append in R.array.fitness_array an Item (like you did with the previous Items) and give it a name.

2.At the end of method setAdapters() insert this:

fitnessSpiner.setSelection(5);// or whatever is your selection number

Now it should work but you should know that this is not a good practice and you should try make a ListView or something else.
[Android Software Development] greydarrah:
I'd be happy to change this out to a listview, or whatever would work. I just have to give my user a choice of 4 or 5 items, from which they can choose only one. Something like a drop down box, but in Android, I thought my only option was a spinner. But whatever I use, I have to be able to play a sound when certain items are chosen, but ONLY when those items are chosen, NOT whenever the activity is called up.

Any specific ideas of what I might change to?
[Android Software Development] greydarrah:
What if I had another control like a textview or an edittext (with it's visibility property set to false) that I programatically populated with the users selection (when it's the selection that I want) and then have an OnItemClcickListener set to play the sound?

Could that work?
[Android Software Development] vostdev:
I will answer from the last to the top of your questions.

1.You can do whatever you want with android. You want TextViews and EditTexts with complex and nested Layouts you can do it. Write services that will communicate with your contacts through a content provider? You can do it.

Write, read and test code. Only this way you will actually learn.

2.Read developer.android.com. Read the android tutorials from there and specifically the Notepad example. You will learn a lot.

A good resource with small examples for ListViews is this.

3.Have you tried the changes I told you from the last post? Did it worked?

Since you just started with android and programming you must first be happy if you have the expected result and then read more to make your code better
