[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Anyone know whats causing the following issue?

Recently when I download the latest Nightly's (to flash over current Nightly) and boot into recovery and try to flash the ROM, I get the following:

Installing Update......
E: Error in /sdcard/cm_vision_full-119.zip
(Status 1)
Installation aborted

Before I proceed with trying to flash the ROM I do clear cache and dalvik cache, I always do this. But lately Ive been getting that error when ever I download the file from the phone's browser (whether it be stock, Miren, etc) or even from computer and transfer it to SD card and try to flash. Sometimes when I download from my computer browser and transer to SD card it works the second time (or if I transfer the first file over again) but when I reboot into the ROM, apps are missing and etc. So it corrupted the install.

Things Ive tried with no success

1. Reformatting SD Card

2. Complete Data Wipe (which allows me to flash the Nightly with nothing previously installed) but when I try to flash a new nightly over the installed one same issue

3. Reinstalling Recovery

4. Downloading rom from either WiFi or Tmobile network

5. Going back to G2 Engineering Hboot

Im at the point where I frustrated with my G2 and want to throw it against a wall. The only way Im able to flash new Nightly's is through wiping the device, which gets tedious.

Bump someone has to have some solution.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
is signature verification enabled in CWM? when you go to install zip from sdcard, make sure you toggle signature verification to OFF. not sure if this is what you're encountering, it almost sounds like a bad sd card too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Signature verification is always off. I did try to turn it on to see if it made a difference, didn't. Ive pretty much tried everything I could think of.

I did have one issue with the SD card (dont know if it is related or not), when I was trying to copy a file to my SD under Ubuntu, it wouldnt let me saying the SD Card is read-only. I went into Windows and it let me transfer the files, so I dont know.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
sounds like it could be SDcard related because its happening whether you download via the phone or computer. Have you tried wiping and formatting the SDcard and trying agian?
[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
do you have another sd card lying around that you can test with? a malfunctioning sdcard can manifest itself in some pretty wonky ways, including something like what you're describing. that would be my next move in troubleshooting.

seems especially likely since you've already tried downloading the rom different ways and whatnot.

do you have eng hboot? you could try fastboot flashing CWM again just to make sure nothing is going wrong there. I would do it manually via PC10IMG or fastboot flash rather than rom manager... I don't really trust the app to do any of its recovery functions "properly" anymore.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Tried wiping and reformatting the card many of times. Most of it through Clockworkmod recovery not through the PC though.

I do have another SD card that I could test with, haven't done that yet though. Will try it, wasnt sure if it was SD card related.

Yes I do have eng hboot; I flashed the G2 one then the Desire Z one (using the Virtous rom guide) and finally back to the G2 one. Thought that might of been the reason for the issues but turned out to not be.

And I agree I only use ROM Manager to do backups. Anyway I flashed the Clockworkmod 3.1.0.1 (by blahbl4hblah) through recovery and then went back to the one in rom manager. Havent tried installing it through fastboot. Will try that as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Ok I can say its not the SD Card or recovery. I flashed recovery again through fastboot and used a different SD Card. Still throws that error. I made sure to only copy my media to the SD Card and nothing from the previous one to make sure it wasnt some file on there that was causing the issue.

Edit: And here is the worst part. After the install fails and I reboot Im stuck at the HTC logo, so Im forced to wipe and reinstall.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Bump for a possible solution.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Another note. The same file I downloaded (didn't redownload) that throws that error when I try to flash it over a old Nightly, works when I wipe data/factory reset.

Ex. I downloaded Nightly 140 and try to flash it over Nightly 139, it throws that error. Now I wipe data/factory reset and flash that same Nightly 140 (didnt redownload) and flash it, it works.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
What the heck is going on. I unrooted and re-rooted my G2 and still have this issue.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Bump still having this issue.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Mnementh666:
Have you checked md5 sum of downloads?

Sounds like either card corruption or filesystem corruption.

Tried doing any kind of chkdisk or equivalent on the card?
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Yeah the MD5 sum of the downloads are okay.

Havent run a chkdisk of the SD card. Will do that. Ive reformatted the SD card and tried a different SD card and still have the same issue.

How do I know if it is a filesystem corruption and anyway to fix that?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mnementh666:
Hmmm. Have you had any issues with connecting the phone and using as a usb drive? Maybe try copying a large (>250mb) file to the SD from your computer, and then copying back from phone to pc.

The read-only error you mentioned earlier is I think going to be the root cause, somehow. I'm not familiar offhand how the microSD can set RO or RW, but on the normal SD it's a switch.

Maybe something in the microSD card slot is causing errors?
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Ran a chkdsk on the SD Card and no issues were found.

No problems connecting the phone to PC and using the usb drive. I tested transfering a 367MB file back and forth and it worked perfectly.

The interesting thing is Im not able to flash the Nightly ()without completely wiping) but Im able to use the same flashing method and flash a kernel perfectly without getting this error.

No clue what in the SD Card slot could cause the issue. The card is seated properly and locked into place.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mnementh666:
Well... unfortunately, that taps out all my knowledge. Wish I could help more.

My thought on the card slot was just something (dust? Debris?) that got in there and is causing random intermittent r/w errors on the card. Basically like corrupting the file.

Do you download the nightly file through rom manager? Load the zip through same?

If yes... maybe download on pc, transfer to card, boot recovery, install directly.

You've probably tried that, and if so I apologize. I'm @ work and can't read the site, and replying and reading simultaneously isn't possible on tapatalk :) and I'm grasping at straws :-D
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Nope there was no issue with SD card slot that I could see with the naked eye.

Honestly dont use ROM Manager at all. I either download from the phones browser (stock or Miren) or through my PC and transfer it to the SD; both resulting in the issue.

Here's what I think it is, I think its a issue with the phone's partition/filesystem. The result of switching to the Desire Z Eng Hboot. But Ive went back to the G2 Eng Hboot and stock Hboot, many times. So Im not sure.

Anyway thanks for attempting to help. You gave me some additional stuff to look into.
[HTC EVO 3D] parousia15:
I ran qualcomms newest benchmark tool for web browsing , and under system information I noted the description of the two cores. It read :

Cores: 2

Core 1: max freq 1188 min freq198, governor

Core 2: max freq 0 min freq 0, governor.

I know our our cores are asynchronous, but shouldn't a clock speed be read? I'm just curious what this means as I am not technically inclined.

I cannot upload the app but it's in the market under Vellamo.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilee:
Hi everyone

I'm a new DHD user and not a native English speaker, so i really want to know how i can watch my favorite movies (most in English) with my mother language subtitles and still has Dolby enhancement effect? If i am not wrong, the stock video player comes with the DHD has the effect, but it cannot read subtitle files, and in opposite other 3rd video player apps has the power to show subtitles but sound quality is worse without Dolby.

Any help would be appreciated
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shendoz:
Is that the problem of your video? Because i using the dhd player to watch it got subtitle, it is ok and without any problems~
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilee:
Really? Which type (extension) of subtitle did you have? I have .srt files and the stock player does not show anything =.=
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sromer:
I'm pretty sure the stock video player doesn't support subtitles. Try MoboPlayer from the market
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokraina:
Try RockPlayer .
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilee:
+1 totally agreed

I tried Moboplayer, it's one of the best video player out there with intuitive UI and flexible option. But it does not support sound effect like the stock, such a pain :(

So how on earth can i get both those amazing effect and subtitles for films?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yunshen:
I think the only way out your dilemma is to encode your video and use bitmap subtitles that are blended iinto video file.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sromer:
like the post before this said, the only way would be to hardcode the subs into the movie files and then watch them with the stock player
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilee:
Ok then :( btw, dont know why the htc video player is that s__u__c___k! Not even had a setting menu, and does not show video's name neither. Kind of useless!
[Galaxy S II General] David Horn:
This is really a heads-up to people thinking of trying one of the many (and generally, excellent) 2.3.4 ROMs cooked up in this forum.

There's a fudge, which works fairly well, which uses brute force (ie, the CPU) to handle the scrolling, but this will obviously have a significant effect on battery life since it's a job which the GPU does very well, but the CPU struggles with. Equally, it leaves less brainpower available for page rendering so you will notice issues with Flash, especially if you try to scroll around the page at the same time.

This affects the smoothness of both the scrolling in the browser and the double-tap-to-zoom functionality, and as yet there is no ideal fix. There are two solutions, neither of them perfect:

1) Download one of the custom firmware images and accept that the browser will be laggy compared to 2.3.3.

OR​

2) Download the original, leaked, 2.3.4 firmware and use that. Should be fine. You can root it without a problem, but you're going to say goodbye to themes and many of the brilliant improvements put in by the chefs. "Lag-free" means that it's usable and nothing else.

This isn't mentioned in any of the firmware description threads, and if, like me, the silky smooth scrolling of the browser is a key point it's worth bearing in mind and holding off for the time being. No doubt a solution will be found.

Edit: Title corrected as suggested. Specifically, it's de-odexed firmware that encounters this issue.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Well I did point out to the masses that this was a test firmware and was never meant to be released to the public. Issues like this is to be expected.
[Galaxy S II General] David Horn:
Absolutely, IntraTech, but most people's experience is that leaked firmware works perfectly well and for the most part this is true. Having said that, whether this can be fixed at all even with the full release is questionable.

I loathe anything to do with ODEXing.

For reference, the original thread where people are working hell-for-leather to solve the issue:

[Galaxy S II General] ivanlmh:
Great info. That is why I am staying with 2.3.3
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
Am I really the only one hoping they'll get rid of hardware acceleration in the official 2.3.4 firmware ?

I think it's better without HW rendering. OK it's not as smooth but at least you can resize the page in real time (instead of zooming on a picture of the page, creating an ugly mess of pixels) and scroll as fast as you want without seeing a checkered background while the browser is struggling to render the page.
[Galaxy S II General] kahuna0k:
I've flashed the original leaked KG1, rooted with CF and replace the kernel with the one from Cognition v1.13, so far so good. You loose theming, powermenu, but I care more about battery life and user experience. I have removed all the samsung apps (except for the Social Hub + IM, which I find quite usefull), not too much time for testing the battery life but durin a whole night with screen off, wifi on(switched off by screen off I suppose) and data and sync enable on 3 email accounts and 3 social accounts, I lost 3%, seems quite good for me.
[Galaxy S II General] mercuryzzz:
yes I think you're the only one in the world, or maybe one of the few people hoping that and for sure you will not be happy because it's pretty sure this will not happen. The strong key of the galaxy s 2 is definely the browser and its smoothness.
[Galaxy S II General] cCeT:
i hate of lag.rather seeing checkboards.and it s not as bad as you said.
[Galaxy S II General] Lennyuk:
why the panic? everyone should be well aware of what has gone on here, alternatively just use a third party browser...
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Personally speaking I would want to see all HW acceleration turned on for everything.

In reference to this issue I wouldn't invest too much time trying to fix it as the official 2.3.4 release may not even have this problem.
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
+1.

Im pretty sure other improvements outweighs the laggy browser. And come on, do we flash a ROM because we're going use the stock browser? I do flash a ROM because I want my phone to be functional/stable, not because of the browser :p
[Galaxy S II General] nightranger73:
The problem is not in the firmware itself. The stock kg1 has no problem with the browser but it happens on deodexed roms

Since kf1 we've had this problem solved using an older version of the browser or removing part of hw acceleration. Now both tweaks don't work and the chefs have to turn off hw acceleration at all

[Galaxy S II General] hacksome:
Exactly because of this reason, i'm sporting the stock since 2.3.4. Browser is an important thing for me and lag on it is not acceptable. Won't trade it for themes.
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
I know the issue is not with the firmware itself was just thinking that maybe when 2.3.4 finally gets released it may have a more up to date browser which can be deodexed and keep all the acceleration turned on.

This is the biggest reason why I never keep a custom 2.3.4 rom on for long because the browser is very laggy.

Given time I am sure all these bugs will be addressed.
[Galaxy S II General] nightranger73:

Ahh cool I misunderstood... learnt something new :D

Also could Samsung be doing this on purpose to make the experience 'lesser' on a custom rom?
[Galaxy S II General] dinan:
Yeah I flashed Cognition 1.13 last night and I was wondering why the browser was a bit choppier... guess I'll revert back to 2.3.3 and wait. Opera Mobile is still a great alternative though =)
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
The title is misleading: Stock 2.3.4's browser doesn't have the slightest problem.

The claim that stock ROM can't be themed is totally false too. Just look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1154278

The custom ROMs at this point include only small tweaks and custom skins, all of which can be applied manually to stock ROM. There's really no compelling reason to flash anything but stock ROM at this point anyway. Unless CM7 gets released, it'll likely stay this way.

leomar rom is 2.3.4 and have the hw acceleration in browser :)
[Galaxy S II General] David Horn:
Corrected the threat title. Appreciate your points, but can't really add many more caveats to a simple statement. I completely agree with you on this, which is why I recommend flashing a stock ROM instead of one of the custom ones in this situation.

Is there a fix to the notification-when-charged issue in the stock firmware yet?

For me not, I love custom roms but for the time I wend back to (rooted) stock 2.3.4 until the browser lag/hw acceleration in the custom roms are resolved.

I totally agree this is pretty much the only thing stopping me from using a custom 2.3.4 rom oh that and the fact it's a test release :p

I like the standard browser, but there are other browsers.

Same case as others. Flashed back to stock rooted KG1 firmware because I want a H/W accelerated browser. Third party browsers are good but hoga battery and are noticeably slow in loading pages.
[Galaxy S II General] LeoMar75:
That's right and i already explained here how to get it working!

But people keep trying to deodexing the Browser.apk even if it's well known that baksmali doesn't do his job and we need a new release for this tool!

hi i tested ur rom..its amazing so far the best 2.3.4 i have tested..i cudnt understand what kernel u were using as in how different is it from CF KG1 (are you using KG1 Kernel) and the second thing was that it does not work with KIES. would love it if you could fix that problem. Cognition has a similar problem

cheers mate
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Some would say not working with Kies is a good thing :)
[Galaxy S II General] LeoMar75:
I am using the new angelom kernel he is my friend and he is doing an awesome work with this kernel. This kernel is undervolted as default and even if you overclock at 1504mhz the vcore is the same as the stock frequency i. e. it's undervolted. I recomend to use setcpu. Also it has cift module and scheduler deadline. I forgot to mention the multi touch sensibility as well.

I hate samsung kies so i can't be bothered fixing it for now..
