Sometimes I download multiple files at one time. For instance, to get the ED01 modem I downloaded the 2 update.zip's from adrynalyne's thread. The second update.zip had a "(2)" at the end of it. Erase that. On your PC the files needs to only say "update", not "update.zip". The phone adds a ".zip" to each file. Make sure you are doing that.

This isn't true. You are thinking about installing CWM recovery, that gets overwritten with the stock recovery by the stock kernels. I've used this method on many of the stock builds including ED01: http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...d-post-1-before-posting-forum.html#post699944

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartan.062:
Yep. And I am still somewhat confused when it comes to flashing a kernel. And I already have the su file, however, when I try to apply the update to get to CWM, It won't take the update. I'll try adding .zip to the end of the name.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
Yes, but I see you have had problems with this method already. Are you able to get odin properly set up on your PC? I mean have you been able to flash anything via odin? Did you see my link in my above post? And don't worry about a kernel just yet. Lets get this taken care of first.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartan.062:
Yeah, it said that it was successful. But the update.zip WILL NOT apply no matter what I do.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
Did you see a Green "Pass" when it finished in odin? And when you put the battery back in were you unplugged first? You may know this but you cannot allow the phone to boot normally before booting into recovery. Try using this recovery instead: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36791/CWM3_Voodoo.tar.md5
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartan.062:
Flash that the same way in Odin?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
Yes, but boot into recovery FIRST before the phone turns on normally. Not trying to sound condescending but do you understand what I am saying about booting into recovery first?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartan.062:
Yeah I understand. Ok I got the voodoo lady's voice. Now I have the red CWM menu.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
The way it always works for me is I don't even boot into the blue recovery, it boots straight into red. Let me know what happens.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
GOOD! With that menu find the superuser root package from nemesis2all on your SD card and install it. Let me know what happens.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
How did you get the voodoo lady's voice? Did you flash something once you got into the red menu?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartan.062:
No. A lady's voice talked before I got into the red menu. It was while the phone was on the black samsung screen. I tried that other recovery that you linked to.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
No, if you are in the red menu there is no need to apply the update.zip. Go to install zip from SD card. Find this: http://www.mediafire.com/?38vozx7n37u02a5 and install it. Then reboot. You don't need to download that because it should already be on your SD card from what you said. I just put the link to show you what to look for.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartan.062:
I put that on my sd card but now I can't find it. . .

EDIT: Nevermind. Had to scroll down. . . And reboot normally?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
Yes, and once you are rebooted fully go to market and download Titanium Backup. Once downloaded, open it and tell me what happens or what it says.

So long as it doesn't touch the SD card, only a couple of apps would be lost. What should I do from the recovery screen? And the file I selected to apply was su-2.3.6.1.x.zip
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
It won't affect the SD card. Do you care if you lose those apps temporarily? But first try again to flash the superuser package and see what happens this time. If it doesn't work there is a plan B.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
wipe cache and dalvik cache. Dalvik is under advanced. If you don't get this in time don't worry about it.

Also, there is great value in learning by trial and error. "In much wisdom is much grief" ecclesiastes 1:18. Grief (making mistakes) produces wisdom (learning how to do it right).

[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
When adding contacts to your phone you need to make sure you change the first option to sync with your Google account. For some reason it defaults to phone and if you don't switch it, it won't sync. It would be sweet if any of the devs could make a mod so it defaults to your Google account.

I'm guessing you have 460 phone contacts and 322 Google contacts on your phone.
