Maybe try redownloading it. Could possibly be a corrupt download. Also check the md5 sum to make sure. You should be able to get an app in the market called md5checker or something.

You need to download Nightly - Vivow http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=vivow

Download #79. I heard there's problems between #80~88.

Have you tried using ROM Manager? Or is this error generated when trying to download from ROM Manager?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] unkota:
I got this error when I install CM from CWM recovery. Anyway I found 79 and this version installed without any problems. Thanks you guys. But I have another problem: I can't install PG32IMG_vivo_radio_3805.04.03.22. Hboot say wrong image. Also my prone say no service.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
When flashing a radio, be very careful to check the md5 sum, and if they match, make sure your radio is named exactly "PG32IMG.zip" and place it on the root of your sdcard or hboot will give you that error. Your phone says no service because you tried to flash a radio image that was misnamed.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Just to expound upon what he said, just get rid of all that extra stuff in the name and leave the PG32IMG.zip, and if you're using a computer make extra sure it doesn't name it with .zip.zip due to it seeing it's a .zip file.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] unkota:
I don't know what radio need for my phone and cm Please give me advice and download link
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
try the 722 radio-it seems to work well for the most users:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1134451

it's the last one under gingerbread-based ruu's and ends with number 722.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] unkota:
I already have .722. Sadly.

When CM started, I got activation screen, but my phone could not call. I don't know why, maybe because I had unlocked phone and live out of verizon network.

Now phone don't have connect...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
You have an unlocked phone- so do you mean you are using GSM band? Correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't believe cm7 has gsm support on the inc2, which would explain why you don't have service.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] unkota:
Yes I had GSM and unlocked phone. But I didnt unlock phone. I bought an unlocked already.

So I can't use CM7 on my phone? You know any custom FW for Inc2 with GSM support?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
skyraider has gsm support, I believe gingerbang sense does as well, that's weird though because I seen a few different people say cm7 supports gsm I personally don't know I don't have a need for gsm
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
I think that gsm on cm7 involved putting in the APN for whatever network you were going to be on and rebooting, but it's honestly been so long, i don't hardly remember much about cm7, lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] unkota:
What custom ROM without sense support GSM?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
I don't think there are any aosp roms with gsm at the moment. If anybody knows otherwise, let me know.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Sic123:
cant confirm if it works or not but for gsm in cm7 you have to go into wireless & networks then mobile networks and choose network type gsm/WCDMA auto
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] unkota:
Sic123

Oh... You know, I can't bypass CM activation because I can't call to activation number and can't connect with NO SERVICE. I should press "SKIP" but after that "mobile network" in settings just vanished. Why do I need this f*** activation?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
i still see questions about rom manager cwm popping up but rom manager will shortly be irrelevent once 2.3.5 drops. modded 3e and root via rage against the cage are a thing of the past. exploits that are no longer open.

this is how rooting and cwm will be done from here on out. get used to it. don't be scared it's not hard.

i did not create the how to video only did 12 seconds of searching on google. things that will be different from the video are that you will only flash the kernel. (zimage)

what you will need:

*heimdall, any version will do but this video is heimdall 1.1. 1.3 would need another video but if i find it ill add it to the op.

*an att infuse 4g or infuse 4g galaxy s if you are canaidian

*a computer, any will do

*a micro usb cable

*an archive program

*a custom kernel (community kernel or defuse for 2.2.1 att users) hellraiser or entropy for rogers users or users that in the future get the 2.3.5 update on att

windows specifics:

drivers- these are available through kies. any version should be fine. the drivers are also on the samsung site without kies

visual c++ redistributable 2010 (should be available through the microsoft download center, google it or bing it if you prefer)

mac specifics:

codeless kext (i have zero experience with this but will see if i can find a tutorial explaining that)

instructions:

-take the kernel downloaded from a link in the dev section (search is you friend) and open it with an archive manager like win rar 7zip or other.

-extract the zimage. this is the actual kernel. if it is a flashable .zip file you will find it in the kernel folder or the updates folder.

-review the video, take note of the driver install. this shouldnt be an issue on win7 32 bit but may be a problem on other versions

-put the zimage in the kernel slot, no other slots are relevant.

-connect the phone in download mode via the data cable (volume bar+usb cable)

-flash!

enjoy your rooted phone with custom kernel cwm and voodoo lagfix! that was easy :)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] rxnelson:
Perfect timing. I was just researching this on a suggestion from Entropy in another thread. From what I gather once I uncompress one of these roms I can use heimdall to flash without going into recovery? Does that sound right? You will be in download mode instead of clockwork?

You state "enjoy your rooted phone with custom kernel cwm and voodoo lagfix". I assume that all comes as part of the roms? Is clockwork added in case you want to change roms or wipe data? I was taking it to mean heimdall replaced clockwork but you seem to state it will be on the phone after you flash.

Thanks for the links and all.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
Not exactly. This was more about it being used as an alternative to rooting and using rom manager.

Heimdall can flash roms as well obviously but they need to either be a rom dump or extracted Odin package. They need to be in special archives in our case rfs. This is not to say a custom rom can't be manipulated into an Odin or heimfall flashable form. An easy way to do this is to take an existing Odin package and open the factoryfs.rfs image in magic iso and over write the contents with the contents of the /system folder from a custom rom. But permissions can be a problem doing these things in windows so I don't recommend this because it is a little more difficult to change the permissions inside the image than a normal archive and flashing the rom without checking the permissions could lead to a brick. The proper way to do it involves terminal and mounting the image to a loop device for editing which I have never tried. Its a bit more advanced than flashing Roms. This is where you get into some command line skills which are not too common today in our world of GUI.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rxnelson:
Thanks for the clarification. This is just to get a custom kernel and be rooted since that is going away then? You will still need to flash using cwm or whatever to get the rom on. I guess I kind of jumped the gun because most of the heimdall flashes that i have seen on YouTube seen to be the whole rom. That's too bad. It almost seems easier that way.

Thanks for responding before I screwed up.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
What you use for flashing is up to the rom developer. There have been Odin roms in the pastfor the galaxy s and the bootloader may need to be updated this way for people who don't choose the use the the 2.3.5 update to get the bootloaders. That means some rom developers may choose to package the rom for Odin or heimdall to get the bootloaders.

Ok First Of all This Rom Is The Fastest I have Ever used.

But ok HEre is my Huge problem. so i was rooted bl unlocked everything fine, with my stock rom with 1.3 ghz kernel until i installed the home base ext 4 mega. ok my problem is simple, when i installed it, it basically unrooted my device is was supposed to be a rooted rom, but anyway i decided to root my atrix again right? and thats when i found that when im on adb writing cp /preinstall/su /system/bin sumthing like that it says cp write error: No space left on device. and i cant root my device !!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I can't root my device it is paperweight basically

This is the set of instructions I have always used and have always worked and now they give me this annoying error of no space left on device. After cp /preinstall/su /system/bin

Put phone in fastboot mode, then:

Code: fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img fastboot reboot

(older versions maybe need "fastboot -i 0x22b8")

after fastboot & reboot, type in adb ("adb shell") or terminal emulator, exactly:

Code: /preinstall/dosu

/bin/mount -o remount,rw /system

cp /preinstall/su /system/bin/

chmod 6755 /system/bin/su

PATH=/system/bin:$PATH pm install /preinstall/Superuser.apk

[HTC Desire S] giligen:
It took me several weeks to understand that my new and expensive CaseMate BarelyThere is killing my GPS reception.

The phone acquires less satelites and accuracy is terrible. Having the case on, means GPS is almost unusable...

I've removed it now, and will be complaining to CM's customer service...

[HTC Desire S] fasty:
Unfortunately this is not the only brand of case that causes these problems.

I bought an expensive otterbox case and get the same problem, although strangely other people with the same case apparently get no problems.

There are other threads in the DS forum with more details of this subject.

Buyer beware!
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw.

Case is fine, I was testing my GPS earlier this evening, locked on within 15 seconds to 5m. Even then, you should do research before you buy things, as if you had done some research you would have found this issue was quite common for some people.

Also case-mate promise it will protect your phone with a slim profile, it doesn't say it won't affect GPS signal ;-).
[HTC Desire S] swordlink:
Mates....

1. It is depending on what firmware you are! Wether you use testing ROMs or nightly builds etc...

2. It is depending where you live (or test the gps): if i move 20 meters away from my house, i rapidly get a gps signal without changing any settings or so...

3. It is depending on the case you are using: for instance, whe i am putting on my silicon case, i almost get no longer ANY wifi and gps signal...

4. It is depending which gps connection you are trying to get: Are you using A-gps or are you trying to get a fix with the inbuilt module... The desire S has no great gps inbuilt compared to other phones like iPhone e.g. and so you almost need to connect either via wifi or mobile network on the go.

5. it is depending on what ntp server you have configured. Htc has got sometimes a wrong code in their firnwares and the servers sometimes need to be set manually to get the best fix!

Cheers ;)

Using Case Mate Tough Case, which is a chunky dual layer case. Silicone AND plastic outer shell. No problems at all with wifi or gps. A friend has the Otter box commuter. Also no problems.
[HTC Desire S] nidhinrabi:
never knew these could affect gps n wifi...thnx all...
[HTC Desire S] demdh:
I've also GPS related Problems with this case. Didn't use it anymore.
[HTC Desire S] mx5_white:
I am also using this case but there are no problems with GPS. It depends more on a kind of application you are using. For example Sygic has a very fast fix, Google Nav takes more time. GPS status app has also fast fix, GPS fix takes more time. I have tried all this apps with and without and believe me, case has got nothing to do with it... And if you have this idea in your mind that case is blocking GPS, you will find all evidence to proof it. Just look around not only on this forum but whole internet, there is nothing so unpredictable and different to measure as GPS signal.
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
I agree that different applications may affect availability of initiation and position data which affect GPS acquisition (lock-up) time. I also agree that the GPS signals are relatively unpredictable (well, they are moving round all the time!)

However, I have proven beyond any doubt that the case I bought significantly affected GPS reception quality.

In fact, you can have the GPS test application working with (say) 12 satellites consistently visible, then as you offer up the rubber case near the GPS antenna panel you can observe the signals falling in real time and half the satellites are lost. I estimate the signal-to-noise ratio is degraded by more than 12dB. It's either due to signal attenuation by the rubber case material, or dielectric effect de-tuning the GPS antenna.

Incidentally, I am trained and qualified in the technology areas of RF communications and the evaluation of satellite link budgets. I design this kind of stuff.

The only thing I can't work out is why some people find that a particular brand of case makes their GPS almost unworkable, while others seem almost unaffected with the same brand of case. What I have noticed is that some people describe getting a map fix "by GPS" when actually they have no GPS signal whatsoever and actually the phone is getting its approximate positional information exclusively from the phone base station.

It's weird there are so many differents feedback on this case.

I had a barely there last year with my Galaxy S and it was fine. I'll try to get one and try it.
[HTC Desire S] Vodka69er:
I myself own a case and don't find much difference in the quality of wifi aswell as gps lock.

WiFi remains the same where as the gps signal fix has always random.
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
I was testing gps today with new casemate barelly there, no problems at all.

Fast fix, strong signal.

As a side note, only minus is that my case is a bit loose (can move my desire s slightly up/down, less than a milimeter), but fixed it with double sided tape. ;)

I have the Silicon CaseMate skin and i works fine with both GPS and WIFI

I disabled lagfix "convert filesystem to rsf" wipe wipe wipe and i flashed it using CWM. i all went well i changed the DPI of the screen everything ok then i decided to apply the lagfix convert "filesystem to EXT4" when i noticed watching this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTFlvAcbA5M&feature=player_embedded How to flash S.U.R.F.A.C.E.

Finally i decided to try again so using Surface I wiped data/factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvic cache then flashed Surface again and now i am getting boot loops i tried again and the same problem.

What can i do now? i was thinking to flash a stock JVR using Odin so could you give me some links? I really need some help here please :)

i was too anxious to wait for an answer so i went and flashed a stock JVR i found around here and it is solved :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsingh2011:
For some reason my backups using Romracer's CWM don't work. I get stuck in a bootloop every time I restore and I'm clearing data, cache, and dalvik cache before restoring. So I was wondering if instead of restoring the whole backup, if it was safe to restore just the system partition and not the boot partition (since currently the phone boots up fine)? If so, I could restore my system and data and not have to deal with whatever's causing the bootloop. The phone is running CM7 beta, so the boot partition is whatever is used with that.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marko!:
The beta uses a specific kernal so it wouldn't work with anything either than CM7.

But yes if you restore just the system it will work.

What kind of bootloop is it? Do you make it to the boot animation? Or not past the logo
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsingh2011:
Sorry, that confused me. You're saying that in general, if I was running stock, I could only restore the system partition and it would be fine. But since I'm running CM7 I can't restore a stock system partition, only a CM7 system partition?

It doesn't make it to the boot animation. But this is only when I'm restoring stock. If I flash a stock fruitcake to get back to factory settings and then root. I can flash a CM7 recovery just fine. It's flashing back to stock from CM7 (or even just being in stock and flashing the stock recovery I just made) that's the problem. I'm going to give it one more shot, but not until the weekend. So if it works or doesn't work then, I'll post back here.
