Damn, I thought someone was just mocking the nonexistent news of the iphone5 yesterday till I checked the news. RIP Steve, you have contributed to what we call technology these days.

Without Steve Jobs and the iPhone, Android doesn't exist as the platform I so enjoy. Gotta respect the man for single handedly catapulting the smartphone market into its current absurd orbit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
A very large portion of the technology we use today was directly or indirectly influenced by Steve Jobs. I'm not a big fan of his attitude toward the open software community, but no one can deny the great job he did with apple or deny how innovative he has always been.

Plus when I think of his work ethics, I wish I could be half as productive as he was.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
I feel sorry for the loss of him, always sucks to hear about ANYONE passing away. I do think that home and CRAPPLE did catapult the smartphone industry. But I also wonder if yesterday after the iCrap 4s announcement and ALL the bad remarks from believe it or not APPLE FANBOYS on apple sites talking about what a dissapointment of the 4s news and no 5 news was to them. Maybe Steve Jobs read alot of those articles and the comments that followed and just gave up and wanted to finally rest in peace. I am not trying to pole fun at this at all so forgive me if it seems that way, just noting what I read yesterday and then the news about SJ's today. May he rest in peace.

Ya think the next iPhone will support Flash?

All kidding aside, it is sad to see a man who played such an integral part of the rise of the digital age pass. May he rest in peace.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
Very sad indeed, he did great things and will be surely missed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SysAdmNj:
Two dissapointing days in a row for Apple fans and technology fans all around. First the announcement yesterday of the iphone 4s and now this. To think of all that money he had, money cant buy you life.

RIP Steve Jobs

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Ramy:
So i checked today and saw that Kernel.org is back online!! So does that finally mean that 2.3.7 roms will be rolling out, such as in cyanogen or in other custom roms that are merely rooted stock?

Cant wait, been struggling with the current rom im running but it was the only one with 2.3.7...

Thanks!

Check the cyanogenmod github. I'm pretty sure they are getting it from omapzoom.

When the exclamation mark appears, press and hold 'volume up' then press 'power'

Select the second option, 'Apply sdcard:update.zip

That's it, ClockworkMod recovery should launch!

How to use S-OFF user

Download file and move on adb fastboot folder

In fastboot mode:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.img

can someone pls explain how to flash the img file to an s-off Legend for a dummy like me?

where do I put the img file?

why with "adb push cwm-recovery-3028.img /sdcard" I get this - "cannot stat 'cwm-recovery-3028.img': No such file or directory"?

any help would be appreciated...

Edit: Solved - just flashed through ROM Manager and it works.

[Legend Android Development] janemanno1:
Hi,

I have unlocked the bootloader using HTC Dev site and it is unlocked.

Then I have got a permanent root using HTC Super Tool v3 and I have root access.

S-ON. So when I downloaded the zip file, copied it to root of the sdcard with the name of "update.zip" and then followed the procedure for S-ON, I get the error when I try to "Apply sdcard:update.zip"

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Please advice. Thanks :)
[Legend Android Development] whpsnp:
If your bootloader is unlocked even though it says s-on you should be able to use the s-off recovery.
[Legend Android Development] janemanno1:
Thanks whpsnp. That worked just fine using the first part of S-OFF method.
[Legend Android Development] Crustyloaf:
I can confirm that the S-OFF method does indeed work with S-ON if the bootloader is unlocked.
[Legend Android Development] ICavalera:
Unlocked bootloader is almost like s-off. So, just think allways like that!

[Legend Android Development] Pegart:
Wait, so when doing the S-ON, is CWM just launched or actually installed and accessible at any moment?
[Legend Android Development] Gammelgustav:
S-ON doesn't work for me

(Verification failed)

Its not unlocked but it should work ether or?
[Legend Android Development] whpsnp:
You need to keep the update.zip on your sd card if you have s-on and the bootloader is locked.
[Legend Android Development] Gammelgustav:
On the internal one right?
[Legend Android Development] whpsnp:
On your external micro SD :)
[Legend Android Development] Gammelgustav:
So what is /mnt/sdcard? Is it the microSD or is it the internal storage (or internal SD?)

In /mnt isn't anything like /emmc ...

Sorry first time HTC Legend (for a friend of me) :p
[Legend Android Development] ranger4740:
Yes /mnt/sdcard is the external micro sdcard. It is also the same as /sdcard. I hope this is clear enough for you.

[Legend Android Development] ranger4740:
Check the command you typed and make sure it is correct, what you put in your post is not correct as you did not type "recovery" correct you typed "recover" instead.

Also I think you might need to check the name of the img file and locaton.

sorry to ask noob question.. not touched my legend for a year so relearning everything!! :-)

I unlocked the bootloader via HTC Dev.. no problem..

Used HTC super tool v3 which 'said' i got root access although titanium backup still not getting superuser access via superuser app??

my status is still S-ON..

Please confrim I can use the S-OFF process as my bootloader is unlocked?

1.Where do I put the .img file?? is there a fastboot folder on my phone? or does this mean on my PC?? (I have all sdk tools installed but cant find a fastboot folder)

2. Is there a way I can double check i already have root access?

thanks for any advice.. I have a galaxy s2 so spend all my time learning the tricks for that :D

Nevermind, figured it out :-) So, for anyone else doing this who is as dumb as me.

>You just need the .img folder in the same location on you pc as the Android SDK fastboot files...

>change the directory in the terminal to the same,

>make sure your device is in fastboot mode connected to the pc with usb debugging enabled and recognised by the pc.

>The you can just use the flash command to flash a new recovery :D awesome :D
[Legend Android Development] Gammelgustav:
Yep renamed to update.zip and put on sdcard

Followed the steps in OP...

but in Android Recovery it keeps sayin: "Failed to verify whole file signature" and then "signature verification failed"

Even tried it with another Fake-Flash CWM (3.x something I think) but exactly the same...

Is it right that I can use this method with stock - unrooted - S-ON - HBOOT 1.00 :confused:

Or am I stupid :rolleyes:

I just want to install a custom ROM with this temporary CWM....

Everything with unlocking and rooting is too much - becoz I don´t have a PC in the moment :eek:

I just got a Legend from my brother (he upgraded to a One X) so I'm quite new to the device (I've been using a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 and some tablets up until now).

I was able to unlock the boatloader following the htcdev site instructions and then was able to root using the SuperTool. I enabled usb debugging and tried the S-OFF method with both 5.0.2.0 and 5.0.2.8 images.

Here comes the interesting part. I am able to go into recovery however when I try to select any of the options I am not getting anything just the hat logo in the middle and a black screen. I remember from the Galaxy S that when I choose wipe data/factory reset or wipe cache then I need to confirm this on the next screen. Also there are some menuitems (like advanced, mounts and storage) that have submenus. Now these are not showing up at all.

Basically this makes me unable to factory reset or wipe the device or to load any roms...

Does anyone have an idea what I'm missing here?

Cheers,

Peter

Hey Guys! I have a problem here

My phone is now rooted, but I'm not sure if properly done so. Because when trying to apply the update.zip it tells me the following:

failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

I've tried 5020 and 5028 and both won't work. Any help?

edit: solved :)

I have the same pb, how you to solved that? thx

(I'm sorry for my english I don't speack english)
[Legend Android Development] ranger4740:
Ok, same reply as always, are u htcdev boot loader unlocked? If you are, you can't use update.zip you have to follow the s-off method....

Why ROM manager ask to download and install recovery? What should I do?
[Legend Android Development] farukb:
you can do it...it won't change anythig, you'll stay with 5.0.2.8.,although rom manager wil think it's 5.0.2.0. but i have a better question, why use rom manager?

if you know how to use the recovery, it's far better than using rom manager, imo.

The only advantage really is you can name your nandroid before you make it.

When I go to apply the S-ON update.zip, there's an eroor that says E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command but it lets me continue, and then when it gets to verifying the update package it spits out the same error that was mentioned ealier in this thread:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Any idea what's wrong, or what I can try?
[Legend Android Development] smithchipz:
Your bootloader isn't unlocked yet. You've got 1.02 which makes me think you've started the unlock process but haven't completed it. Go back to HTCdev and look for the next steps in the process. Once you have it'll say **UNLOCKED** in your bootloader. When this is done you can apply CWM via the S-OFF method in the OP.
[Legend Android Development] lollazzo:
Go to htcdev and follow the unlock procedure by step 8
[Legend Android Development] ranger4740:
Oh dear, I would have thought the word "locked" would be the first clue that something isn't right, too many others have this same issue.
[Legend Android Development] Kimmoth:
Tried HTCDev again, managed to get the code this time, so now my bootloader's unlocked, yay!

Only when I do the thing in the OP and go to apply the update.zip I'm still getting the second error I mentioned:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

The first one's gone though, so I guess that's progress...
[Legend Android Development] smithchipz:
Use S-OFF method .
[Legend Android Development] Kimmoth:
Like I said, tried to apply update.zip, as detailed in the S-OFF method detailed in the OP.

(Actually, I tried it again and it said E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command again; I guess I might have missed that last time.)

Someone in another thread advised me to try the S-ON method, no dice with that either - same error:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

[Legend Android Development] Veidi:
ADB no devices

Hello,

I am now trying for hours to flash this image on my legend :(

It seems that the adb drivers are not installed correctly.

I have installed HTC Sync

Android SDK -> platform Tools, Google USB drivers

After that I plugged the Legend the first time in.

I´ve done the bootloader thing from HTCDev.

And now Iam trying to get the Clockwork Recovery Mod.

But when i restart the HTC Legend in the Bootloader(Power + Volume down) my computer can´t find drivers and in the device manager is a 'Android 1.0' with an attention sign.

So when I type 'adb devices' in the command window, I get no entry in the list :(

When I am in the fastboot mode, I get 'Android USB Devices' -> 'My HTC' in the device manager.

Now I type again 'adb devices' and again no device in the list.

I also tried 'adb reboot bootloader' , but then i get the 'error: device not found' message.

When the device is normally booted, I get an entry in the list when I type 'adb devices'.

What do i make wrong?

Can any1 please help me =)

sry for my bad english.

with kind regards,

Veidi
[Legend Android Development] ranger4740:
Goto Google do a search for android 1.0 drivers, download and install the drivers make sure they are the real thing too and not fake.
[Legend Android Development] Veidi:
Ok, and how do I know what are real drivers and what are fake ones?

I am totally new to android, this is my first device with it.:fingers-crossed:
[Legend Android Development] Veidi:
Ok I now downloaded and installed the PDA Net drivers.

Then I booted the legend again to the bootloader, waited for the SD card things and plugged the USB cable in.

Now windows found an 'Android 1.0' driver in the windows update.

In the device manager I now get 'Android Device -> Android ADB Interface'.

Then I switch to fastboot mode (I get 'Android USB Devices -> My HTC' in the device manager now) and type 'adb devices' and again there i no entry in the list.

The command 'adb reboot bootloader' doesn´t work either. :(
[Legend Android Development] kazzarok:
Every time when I boot into recovery, it always show up the older Clockwork 3.01.2 (It had an even older version before I got S-OFF) and every time I had to manually apply update.zip to use the latest Clockwork (5.0.2.0).

Thanks for this simple tutorial, now my Clockwork is truely up to date :)

I don't mean to be rude but did you actually root your phone? With your bootloader version I believe you can get true s-off instead of using the HTC unlock tool.

He guys and gals,

I managed to root and flash one daughters HTC Legend months ago but am now trying to do the same to my other daughters Legend but am scratching my head as I have hit a wall. I have unlocked the bootloader, I have root, I just can't flash CWM 5.0.2.0 like I did with the first phone.

I am using this method

c:\Android>adb push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.img /sdcard/recovery-clock
work-5.0.2.0-legend.img
2029 KB/s (3186688 bytes in 1.533s)

flash_image: not found
# flash_image recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.img
flash_image recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.img
flash_image: not found

That is what I get. flash image not found. I can see it there if I ls.

Any suggestions? I have searched and found no answer.

I might have to try something else.

hi,

save the "recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.img" in the same folder where the adb is

go to fast mode

adb reboot bootloader

In fastboot mode:

write this Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.img

i hv done it yesterday :)
[Legend Android Development] FlyerOne:
I have no doubt it works, just not for me.

When I put the device in fastboot, and connect via USB, I get the no device found error. When I try using the S-OFF method I get No image found.

I'm updating Android SDK and see if that helps. I wonder if Win7 64 bit has anything to do with it.
[Legend Android Development] falak114:
u may need the flash-image file,

i have attached the flash-image file in the zip folder

exact it and save it in ur sdcard,

then try using the S-OFF method again

good luck :)

Hello al,

Thank for this tool bt I don't know how-to check my legend version S-ON or S-OFF ?

[edit] Noobs I am found in Bootloader was S-ON but S-OFF method works ;)

So I tested both method:

The first one (S-OFF) said me:

Checking signature failed
Invalid parameter

And the second one (S-ON):

$ fastboot flash recovery Downloads/recovery_legend_5.0.2.8.img
sending 'recovery' (3136 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.485s]
writing 'recovery'...
signature checking...FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.076s

The last time I flashed a ROM I need the r4 tool (r4-legend-root.zip) to go to CWM recovery but that is not useful as I am on Linux :/

[edit] Sorry for anoying, I copied file again on SD card, properly umount my phone, then disable SD storage and it works :)

[edit] I there any way to go directly on CM Recovery because after flash I still go to second android recovery, not the CM one :/
