Every time it tries to install it reboots then stuck at cwm recovery? anyway to pass that or not have it go to cwm recovery? I read someone mentioning e3 recovery? what's that and where to get it?

NO OTA UPDATES HAVE EVER WORKED WITH CWM..THEY NEVER WILL!!! You NEED to have stock recovery to install OTA updates!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
I downloaded it... postponed update... but also can't find where it downloaded to... crazy.... must be somewhere???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
took the plunge...

OK....I used Kies to go back to stock firmware. I wasn't sure if Odin was gonna trip any counters. Ran the OTA, and SUCCESS! I had failed 7 times previously on my previously rooted debloated device.

There is a new unlock screen. Never had problems with the old one.

The signal bar shows 3 bars consistantly where it always consistantly had 1 bar. 2 bars if I was actively downloading. I always thought the signal strength of LTE was underbarred. For example, to get 5 bars, I literally have to be within viewing distance of the tower. Not sure if it is the signal being received that has improved or they are just bumping up the bars because 1 bar of LTE has always been a solid connection for me.

There is a new Phone icon.

If I'm not mistaken, the automatic brightness seems brighter, and actually to my liking. Gonna leave it on to see if it goes back to being too dim (like before.)

The Xvid overlay conflict when playing videos still exists. Oh well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
Wierd. It did not change or add any APNs on my phone. I have the original plus two more that I added.

The update has not been pulled. I just now did the update on my wife's phone. It didn't get pushed to that phone like it did on mine. I went to Settings/Software Update, checked for the update, downloaded and installed it. It went without a hitch. I guess I'm lucky, two for two without a problem.

I think the tech that thought the update had been pulled was referring to the original 2.3.6 update that was pulled a month or two ago. I know, I know. I mean what are the odds of an AT&T CS rep making a mistake like that. One in a million... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
Confirmed: Doesn't work with 2.3.6

I Odin flashed 3e stock recovery... left my stock 2.3.6 on, then continued with update. It downloaded, then I hit "install update"... phone rebooted and a white screen appeared that said "installing...", then "preparing...", but got the ugly "Update is Failed" message, and phone rebooted... still have my stock 2.3.6 now with 3e recovery.

I updated successfully after reverting my phone to my stock original backup. First time failed because I forgot to change my radio.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
Hmmmm...wifi tethering still working. But my phone switches out of LTE to HSPA+ like a ninja whenever I try to tether to it.

Update: I was able to successfully tether on LTE. I think they were just rebooting the LTE tower next to my house at the exact same time I was doing the update. I kept getting messages that LTE networks don't send out time info so I have to manually set the date and time. And LTE kept shutting off. I also had to change my wifi to Softap instead of Netd which I should have done long time ago anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Until all the bugs and changes are figured out for this update...there is no way in HEL* I am going to install it! It shouldn't be long before someone figures out how to extract the new radio, the bluetooth update, and the new lockscreen and install those without all of AT&Ts "BS" included to mess are phones up. Hopefully it won't be long anyway.

Why does Factory Data Reset fix it?

I wonder what particular data it is that being cleared that allows the update to succeed...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveinSoCal:
I am about to sell my T-Mobile Galaxy Vibrant and I wanted to do a hard reset on the CM7 operating system. I do not want to remove the CM7 system or anything like that, I basically want to restore it back to first time setup ie: enter gmail username and so forth. I re-booted into recovery through CWM and I was given the options of:

- reboot system now

- apply update from sdcard

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache partition

- install zip from sdcard

- backup and restore

- mount and storage

- advanced

(In Advanced Menu)

- Reboot Recovery

- Wipe Dalvik Cache

- Wipe Battery Stats

- Report Error

- Key Test

- Partition SD card.

- Fix Permissions

(original menu)

- power off

The only reason reason I am asking is because on my HD2 (CM7) I had an option of a Hard Reset in CWM which I used to revert my phone back to first boot (technically). I do not have an option for that on this phone and I want to make sure I do not brick it prior to selling it.

any help would be greatly appreciated. Please keep in mind I do not want to remove CM7 or make the phone stock again. I basically want to reset CM7 so that it removes all of my personal info.

Thank you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
wipe data/factory reset should do the trick. If you want to delete all the stuff on your internal card you need to format internal memory as well
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveinSoCal:
Not really too concerned about the internal card, because I basically went through and removed apps and other stuff one by one.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmundy:
Wipe/factory will do the basic job. If you trust the buyer, that's adequate. If not, you should try to repeatedly overwrite all SD cards with shred, a Linux command, or equivalent. Too bad that is not built into recovery, as shredding /data wouldn't hurt either.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveinSoCal:
I trust the buyer, she is a co-worker of mine and just needs a phone. So the wipe/factory will basically restore me back to when it ws first flashed. That is all I really need to hear/know.

Thanks for the help guys.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveinSoCal:
BTW, I am gonna pull the SD and SIM so as long as I can revert it to the state it was after it's original flash I will be happy.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmundy:
That leaves only the "internal sdcard" (odd terminology) and whatever might be hiding in /data to worry about, and that's only if your phone might end up in Nigeria or Russia or somesuch. Factory reset should be fine otherwise.

Tip for new owner: I went to a T-Mobile store and they gave me a sim for free, no paperwork. $1.99 if you do it online and requires physical addresses, no PO boxes allowed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveinSoCal:
The SIM wont be an issue, she gave her mother her phone, because her mother had the Samsung Behold (Worst phone I have ever seen). They got tired T-Mobile telling them they have had no issues or complaints with the Behold (which is a lie) and wanted to make them pay full price for a new phone. My GF and my co-worker both sent numerours Behold's back to T-mobile. We had to send one of the replacements back 2 days after getting it because the radio was done...

Anyways away from the little rant I am pretty sure we will be good.

Thanks for the info guys

[HD Mini General] vPaull:
OS Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64

I downloaded photonic sources from schlund github place, ARM EABI Toolchain, get config from device(with schlund FW) and try to make, but have a error in makefile in "expr $(VERSION) \* 65536 + $(PATCHLEVEL) \* 256 + $(SUBLEVEL)); \". If i calculate version and write number to expr make done. I have zImage. Now i try to write new kernel to device. Get file boot.img from clockworkmod backup, "unpackbootimg -i boot.img", "mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz --cmdline "no_console_suspend=1 console=null" --base 00200000 --pagesize 2048 -o ./tmp/boot.img" => have new boot.img. Through ADB push boot.img to sdcard then:

# cat /dev/zero > /dev/mtd/mtd2

write: No space left on device [this is ok, you can ignore]

# flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img

Reboot device, but it write error in console(then i restore recovery and restore)

How to correctly build kernel and put it to the device?

Sorry for my bad english...
[HD Mini General] munjeni:
You not need bloksize argument for mkbootimg. And you have wrong argument for base (00200000 instead of 0x00200000)! Try:

- mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz --cmdline 'no_console_suspend=1 console=null' --base 0x00200000 -o ./tmp/boot.img"

First, mount your sd card in recovery, then:

- adb push boot.img /sdcard/

than:

- adb shell erase_image boot

than:

- adb shell flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img

It working also without mounting sdcard becouse boot.img is small and you are able to put it in memory, for example push it to /

- adb push boot.img /

- adb shell erase_image boot

- adb shell flash_image boot /boot.img
[HD Mini General] vPaull:
Can i "flash_image" In the booted android or just recovery?

will try to evening....

Just want to play with kernel...
[HD Mini General] vPaull:

It's work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackMetal:
I keep up with the forums for equipment I own and use (unfortunately, NOT so much on my wifes), but although I've read through many topics on this EVO 4G - my wife's phone, I'm still not completely sure which ROM to go with.

What would be a good ROM for my wife's Sprint EVO 4G? I have custom ROM's on all of my personal devices (phones and tablets) but I haven't done anything at all to hers and just realized that video doesn't work on her gtalk (among other things). Is there a good custom ROM (close to stock, that is rooted and has gtalk video working)?

Thanks in advance for the help, I'll keep reading through the forum in the meantime (I still haven't even rooted her EVO yet - although I've got her on CM7 for her B&N Nook Color and she loves it)!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusva79:
Cm7 works really well with evo4g and has 4g working. Looks like she might be used to it from nook so give it a try. If she wants she can also experiment with MikG which is a sense rom. IMO those have been greatness. Also Decks 1.3 is good, like Cm7 but he gets rid of the bloatware.

Don't forget to hit thanks ;)

I am using Ice Cream Sense rom as a daily. 4G. skype works. better battery life than running CM7, in my experience. And of course GPS works too, which is borked half the time with CM7. If your wife uses google maps for anything (or everything), you probably want to be careful about breaking GPS.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackMetal:

this has what you have to do to center the clock :) (in the x10 section)

also (as per team rom) if you are using a custom front i found that you need to change the size of the clock ( so i made it variable :P ) for an idea of what we you can welcome to check out our files :)

@kormatoes every one likes different sizes, i like a tiny weeny clock, my GF likes to to take up 90% of her screen (shes a bit blind) and personal preference is everything :)

to change the size of it in xml this is whaqt to change (stole the snipit of code from another thread but it does the trick)

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="center" android:paddingLeft="132.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />

Add this to it

android:textSize="[B][COLOR="Red"]18dip[/COLOR][/B]"

change the red part to suit your needs

so in the end it now looks like this

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock [B]android:textSize="[B][COLOR="Red"]18dip[/COLOR][/B]"[/B] android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="center" android:paddingLeft="132.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />

Basically you have over ridden the style size from the framework so there will be no funny business s any where else :)

**EDIT** - also bare in mind this size stuff WILL NOT work on the TEAM roms :P as ours is set from our tweaks menu.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrmajor247:
Hey guys I am a serious beginner to the android world. I just upgraded to the Nexus from a Blackberry. I am looking to root and add a rom to get the best performance from my phone. I have looked at a lot of threads and websites but because of my newness to this world, some of the instructions are not clear to me. I have a Mac and just want some step by step instructions that I can understand so I won't do anything wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chjade84:
I will offer my opinion and you can do with it what you will.

First off I have no information about how, specifically, you root with a Mac.

Secondly, my advice is think hard about why you want root. I started rooting back with my HTC EVO and it was pretty cool - until the problems started. When I say problems, I should probably say bugs. I tried several roms and most were pretty good but all had their shortcomings, random reboots, force closes, etc. I finally ended up with Cyanogenmod (arguably the best rom out there) but even then I had problems. No autofocus in in video, no HDMI out and something else I can't put my finger on now - but really annoyed me.

In short, rooting is kind of a give and take between fun stuff and more bugs - IF you are using custom roms which most everyone does. The factory roms are written by the guys who make the phones and the custom roms are written by guys who are reverse-engineering the hardware/software so expect some problems. (Cyanogenmod even had a list of things that didn't work on their webpage). The Nexus is stock AOSP so the roms may be better but there is still the issue of custom kernels, radios, etc. If you don't get it JUST RIGHT you can have compatibility and stability problems.

My Nexus is still stock and is waiting for the official 4.0.4 OTA (over the air) update. It runs much more stable than my EVO with Cyanogenmod (or any other rom). If you want the best performance and don't NEED any of the functionality of root I'd personally just keep it stock. I've thought about rooting again, but ultimately I don't really need it. My friend switched from iOS to Android and rooted but kept having reboot issues on a couple roms and ultimately restored to stock and was fine. Same story with another friend who is currently (read: STILL) using a gen1 Droid.

Don't get me wrong, rooting is great - if you will really use it. But I wouldn't root just for the hell of it unless you don't mind the hassles.

YMMV

Good luck!
