OK tried flashing SNS v1.3.zip the exact way the instructions you gave me tell me to. It says same thing as it did when I used ROM Manager.

1. Finding update package...

2. Opening Update Package...

and then here it goes

3. Can't open /sdcard/SNS v1.3.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted

What am I doing wrong or not doing at all? I downloaded this Rom off of the following thread [ROM]UPDATE!(4/28/11) SmoothnSexy V1.3, Gingerbread-ish looking Froyo/SENSE

from this site.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinky059:
Do you have Amon RA Recovery. Did you install it and when you hold the power and vol- button together, you get a white screen. At the top does it say S-OFF?

If so, then proceed to go to the recovery. If it is Amon RA, it will be green. If it is the latest version of clockwork (which you don't want to use), then, it's orange.

If it's green, then wipe cache, data, boot, system, dalvik cache, sd-ext (if you have it) and then flash your ROM.

ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP FIRST from whatever Recovery you are using. Clockword(orange lettering), does not support Edify scripting, only Amend. If you have Amon RA(green lettering), it supports both edify and amend scripting.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corey140:
I did this but it says skipping Wipe od SDEXT...

Could this be the problem?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corey140:
says skipping Wipe of SDEXT...

not

skipping Wipe od SDEXT...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigJohn89:
Something else to take into consideration, your SD card may need to be re-formatted as well. Try this:

Once you have Amon-RA installed, and you are booted into it, then connect the phone to your computer via the USB cable. Navigate to USB-MS Toggle and activate it, you should now be able to copy everything from the card to your computer (re-partitioning will erase everything on the card).

After you have backed up, you can use the partition SDCard menu to repartition and reformat your card. Or you can use the Wipe menu to just format the SDCard - though I would re-partition it just to ensure the file system on the card is truly reset. If you do re-partition, use 0 for a swap (most ROMs don't use it), use anywhere from 0-500MB for the ext (this will be mostly used by app2sd, and not a requirement of the ROM, so it is optional), and the rest of your card size for the remainder (this will be partitioned as FAT32, I believe).

Once that process is complete, you can copy your ROM back over to the card (USB-MS toggle) and try again.

I had similar issues with MY Evo (using the SD card that came with it), re-partitioning it worked like a charm in clearing out all of the problems I had been experiencing. Good Luck!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
That's not the problem. You are s-off correct? I've never heard of that rom, you got it from the Evo Development forums, right? Make sure it's compatible with your phone.

I've seen this problem before, so do a search and see what the solution was.

EDIT: Do what Big John said, that sounds like a likely culprit.

(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigJohn89:
SDEXT is just the EXT partition on the SD card (if there is one, see my previous post). What you are seeing is recovery just telling you that this partition doesn't exist.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttcrew:
Hi All -

So I'm posing a somewhat esoteric question. If you were starting with a new Android device tomorrow, what would you do to it to make it your own?

Root? Unlock? New ROM? Must Have Apps?

Here is the reason for my question. I am ABOUT to be the proud new owner of a Nexus S that should arrive tomorrow. I'm completely new to Android, but am a self proclaimed computer geek and have been an iPhone user since their inception and I just want a new challenge.

I'm on AT&T in the US and bought the i9020A. From what I have read, I will want to get the 2.3.4 update that is now available, and will also want to flash the radio to KB3 to get uncapped data speeds on Ma'Bell...

But what else??
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guildamx:
I am pretty much in the same situation.

Bought the NS last Saturday but still far from home (and so having time to evaluate whether to root or not).

Meanwhile you can easily update to 2.3.4 going to the proper menu. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daisun:
If you are new to Android it might be a good idea to just use it as is for a while. Get used to how everything works and where everything is.

Once you have a good understanding of how to use the OS you can then venture out and flash custom roms and since you've used stock Android you'll be able to spot the changes people have made and appreciate the new functionalities more.

If you are coming from iPhone a lot of the things that you can do only with jail breaking can be done out of the box on Android. You can customise your phone a lot without rooting or flashing a custom rom. One example which comes to mind is the transitions between home screens. On Android switching to any of the popular homescreen replacements (LauncherPro or ADW) will allow you to have many different transition styles.

When using Android you just have to keep in mind that practically everything is customisable. If you really want to you can change individual graphics in the OS. Anyway, congratulations on your new purchase, I do hope you enjoy it and welcome to Android!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bringonblink:
I was in you shoes a few months ago, Nexus S was my first ever android device, i was on stock for 2 days then flash cyanogenmod.

In short, do everything you said xD. The differences between custom and stock ROMS are HUGE, especially in Cyanogen Mod
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
I would update to the latest official Nexus S firmware first (to get the latest radio, etc): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056062

Then unlock the bootloader, flash latest cwm recovery, nandroid backup, flash the latest CM7 nightly, flash latest gapps, then reboot.

Enjoy your new Nexus S with CyanogenMOD 7.

All this can be done without fully booting up your Nexus S. :)

PS: (KB3 is not the latest radio, KD1 is)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
I'm just going to say that I was on stock unrooted Android 2.2 HTC Evo for 4 months before I ever rooted and flashed Cyanogenmod 6. And I'm really glad I had that time. I appreciated the customizations so much, and really understood why they were a big deal.

I've moved to the Nexus now and had it for a month. I'm back to stock for a while and loving it. Not sure if I will root or flash CM again. Its just not as necessary in the Nexus. Its possible to have a great Android experience without it. Not so true on other phones.

Anyways, I agree that you should run stock for a while until you are feeling really comfortable with all the nuances of the OS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daisun:
If you want to the rooted/custom rom route straight away might I suggest you give miui a go. It is quite possibly one of the most customised and visually polished Android roms available.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianDigital:
The phone stock is very nice, so you might not have to jump into flashing ROMS ATM. Rooting though gives you alot of options. One being is for titanium backup.

Best backup app on the market IMHO. Android at default lacks a way to backup app data. Say u drop your phone get a replacement and now all the angry birds levels you beat are gone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttcrew:
Hey - Thanks for the info!! You mention that KD1 is the latest radio, but I've read that KD1 still suffers from the speed capping issues and that KB3 is the radio to use if you want full speed 3G connections over AT&Ts cell network.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttcrew:
Thanks for the feedback - is it your contention that Titanium Backup is better than some of the other backup methodologies ... i.e. Nandroid?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjn813:
Titanium Backup is the best for backing up all your apps and system settings, nothing compares ie. installs busybox for you, can sync to dropbox and etc. Look for your self its saved me plenty of time and reconfiguring a lot. But you need to be carefully with it if going from Stock ROM to Custom. As for a nandroid backup, that is a backup of your entire ROM from the phone. Its a function in Clockwork Recovery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amedika:
Where is my 2.3.4?!

I feel like I'm missing out on a secret menu, my nexus has yet to update! Not sure why.. I thought it was due to my carrier. But if the NS is pure google experience that shouldn't impede my update:confused:. N1 users have their update! Where is mine!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavved:
Flash SuperAosp! Such a tasty rom.. Makes my phone feel so satisfyingly fast :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttcrew:
Thanks everyone for the suggestions!!

Here's what I decided to do...

I got my phone, immediately unlocked the bootloader and rooted (installed Clockwork Recovery).

Once rooted, I installed the KB3 radio (immediately see speed improvements - went from .51Mbps Down, and .14Mbps Up to 2.10Mbps Down and 1.12 Mbps up - equivalent if not better than what I was getting on my iPhone).

I think I'll take the majority of the advice I got on here and stick with the stock ROM for now - that's why we bought Vanilla Google, right? I'll play with that for a while and get familiar then go for a custom ROM.

Thanks again everybody...you guys were really helpful and welcoming to an Android N00b!! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yochankr:
Hello all!!

I have recently tried to flash my Galaxy and me being the most useless person with technology must have done something wrong and now cannot work the phone.

Im pretty sure the message (now cant remember what it said) means it has ROM or something (please excuse my limited knowldege)

Anyway because I played around with it, its not under warranty hence they have to charge me.

However they have asked for $400 to fix the phone. Now I bought my phone for $900..??

I do accept my fault for breaking the phone in the first place, however I think $400 is a bit too much..

Now to my main question, is there a way for me to fix this myself?? or is there a cheaper place where I can fix this because this has gone way too far..

Living without my Android is like hell..

Can someone please help me!!!!

argh!!

I will try to get a better description of the fault if I can.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] rumy:
Hi All,

I have an Xperia arc right now and am quite facinated with the infuse 4G.

Could someone help me compare or at least tell me how the infuse scores in the following area:

Screen - Super amoled plus (True/Real Colours) - I have noticed with the captivate, while colours are vibrant they are not real, images looked kinda fake. The xperia is not as vibrant but great colours compared to the captivate.

Sound (volume in terms of loudness and clarity from the phone speaker and the loudspeaker)

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
well im not sure how having brighter colors is not "real" if they are not real how can we see them? well anyway yeah it can still look artificial but my take on it is that ther eis no reason it cant look real if the content you are playing back is recorded and not drawn on a computer. the new screen has a better sub pixel layout and that means clearer text. the old setup was the same resolution but had a more "screendoor effect" and pixelation. the new screen still has pixelation do to the size and therefore low pixel density but it just means you wont be holding this thing in your face, you can hold it at a natural position and not have to zoom at all. from a comfortable distance the pixelation doesnt jump out at you

as far as sound the headphone amp appears to be thesame wolfson amp in the sgs line and with voodoo sound (supercurio promised it to be coming in a very recent tweet) it is hard to beat. the exrenal speaker is not great at full volume but at partial volume is very natural and quite impressive. the captivate was maybe better with certain kernels but not sure if it was as loud. the calls are very good, but maybe "over filtered" can sound synthetic but you never mishear anything. again the captivate can also be good but most people mess it up with custom roms.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] devorama:
I played with the Infuse at the AT&T store. The screen is nice an large, but the maximum brightness was not very bright. White backgrounds of webpages were less bright than on my normal 60% brightness on my iPhone4. Also, the colors way definitely over-saturated. They look vibrant and really pop for icons and whatnot. But if you're looking at photographs and expect accurate colors, you won't find them here. I brought up identical pictures on the infuse and my iPhone 4 to compare. The yellow-green leaves looked like neon green relish you might find on a Chicago style hot dog. As a photographer, this pretty much made the infuse a non-contender for my next phone.

I check this same photo on my computer monitor at home. The iPhone4 was a much more accurate picture to what I saw on my monitor. Now I don't have a professionally calibrated monitor or anything. But it's clear the infuse display is VERY saturated. If you care about color accuracy, look elsewhere. That is, unless the development community can come up with something to adjust the display.

ok, if you follow my instructions to the letter though spoofing will work for you.

If you go down the odin route you have a couple of options:

1) If you've downloaded the software and it is in a single file you have one choice - DO NOT select repartition or use a PIT file - simply select it as the PDA and flash in download mode

2) If it came as 3 separate flashing files (PDA, phones,CSC) AND you wish to repartition then

a) choose each of the 3 as appropriate, select a PIT file and tick the repartition box, click start

b) If you don't wish to repartition just enter the 3 flashing files into Odin and hit start

You do not have to use PIT & repartition, it is optional dependent on whether you wish to repartition the file system.
