Yes you can and also those zipped apps some are cracked apps which I believe it's against rules to discuss but for the rest that do come zipped just extract them your pc and look for the apk and put it on your SD card and install

Installation Aborted...

WTF?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Thanks for chiming in, Erik. I'm talking about legit apps, no cracked. I cant find an apk file in any of the zips I have.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Could still use an answer for this.

Also, to give you guys an example of what I'm talking about:

I'm trying to test the security of my home network in various ways. I downloaded DroidSheep, which comes as a ZIP. There is no apk file in the zip. Trying to 'flash' it, isn't working. I'm getting the messages i posted earlier.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Lol well I don't wanna "chime" anymore lol your flashing something that might not be for this phone get the zip unzip it open app folder and the apk should be there also make sure its for GB

-sent from my POS i897

no camera, no power button but at least I got miui lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Alright, thanks. I'll look into it.

Can I delete Final-Fixed.zip off my SD card without it messing stuff up? Same with the install files for the kernel, and booster?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Yes once installed the zips aren't necessary

-sent from my POS i897

no camera, no power button but at least I got miui lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
BIG THANKS.

I finally figured out what to do, about the installing. If i download a zip file, that comes like these that i can't get to install..... it's because I was supposed to click the d/l link from my phone! It's all good now!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
While you can delete zips after installation, it's always a good idea to keep your ROM zip on the SD card. That way if you decide to play around with stuff that you don't know alot about, and mess up your phones functionality, you can reflash without needing a computer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
I prefer to have a recovery backup. I never leave the ROM installation on my SD.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
I do both. I like to keep 2 backups and at least the ROM I'm on.

I currently have 6 ROMs on my SD. Plus a few movies. And my music collection. A few kernels. Maybe 50-60 apps. Yeah, as you can see I put everything on there LOL and I still have 18.5GB free out of 29.7 available (32GB card).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pryerlee:
sometimes you can just rename the file extension .zip to .apk then just install as normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamOutler:
Hey guys. I'm doing some work to figure out how to recover Galaxy Nexus devices which are hard-bricked.. ie.. they have a bad or no bootloader installed.

the boot sequence

1. IROM - the Internal ROM which cannot be rewritten on the device. This loads the XLoader.

2. XLoader/MLO - This completes the initialization of the processor and memory, and loads up the relatively huge U-Boot ( Samsung modified this and calls it SBL)

3. UBoot/SBL - This "Bootloader" is almost a complete operating system. The U-Boot initializes the screen, provides Odin mode, Fastboot Mode as well as loading the kernel/recovery and provides a UART debugging mode (Yet to be unlocked).

4. Kernel - Once we reach this point, it's all clear.. the kernel is linux which loads android and all sorts of other things.

The Problem

People are bricking their devices at stage 2 and 3 of this boot sequence... This leaves them unable to boot Fastboot or Odin. The device is 100% interchangable with a brick. These devices are ending up hard bricked.

The solution

We must come up with a way to undo the hard brick. Here are some things i'm looking at to use the native hardware to recover itself.

When you plug in the device (when off), you will immediately notice a Texas Instruments D010 device gets enumerated. This is a debug mode for the processor.

Bus 001 Device 023: ID 0451:d010 Texas Instruments, Inc.

We've started looking at some bootloader output here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1461986

You can find information about the OMAP4 bootloaders here: http://omapedia.org/wiki/Bootloader_Project

Help

I need help locating drivers to initialize the 0451:d010 device and make it readable from within Linux or Windows.. Generally Linux is easier to find appropriate drivers.

I could use some help collecting more reading materials and resources.

I think together as a community we can take care of this problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshwindeel:
You may have seen this already, but just in case - this seems to be a bootloader of some kind. I couldn't get it to work with my bricked SGN, but it may be of some use to the unbricking effort.

Can't post link, so search for "Unbrick dead Samsung GT-i9250 Galaxy Nexus 32GB".

Best of luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FredFS456:
The user above is referring to this link, I think:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1640443

The user there shares a .zip file that supposedly is able to unbrick a 32gb GNex using some samsung software. It calls OMAPFlash.exe with a bunch of parameters. I don't know whether it will be useful or not, but it's a start.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FredFS456:
First things first. I recieved a PM from user itsalllgood with information regarding this topic. Here's the whole PM, copied and pasted:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E:V:A:
^^ Somehow your link got messed up, but I think its this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
Is it possible to hardware prevent a device like Samsung Galaxy S2 to go fastboot / odin mode when powering on but still be able to load the operating system?

Because even although I have a password set on the device, if it is stolen anyone can connect it to fastboot with power+voldown+menu and restore it to defaults. For example filling that corresponding partition with zeros will prevent from entering odin mode unless you boot into the operating system and with dd restore the partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FredFS456:
First of all, that's off-topic. But I'll provide a speculative answer nonetheless.

I would think that you would be able to prevent a device from reaching recovery/fastboot/odin-download-mode, but it would have a big disadvantage, which is that if you are not able to boot into the OS somehow, you would have an unusable device. Although a device like the Galaxy Nexus, if stolen, could have its data retrieved by potentially using Odin and/or fastboot to reset the password, removing these failsafes would mean that you have a higher chance of bricking. Besides, that's what remote wipe apps (and other stolen-phone tools) are for. Check out Avast! if you don't have an antivirus/stolen-phone toolkit.

I'm by no means an expert here, but that's just my two cents.

EDIT: By the way, could we have someone (like AdamOutler) look at what we've got in this thread so far to see if the MLO file that we found is what's needed (as mentioned by Adam in the first couple posts)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
It's just that I don't either know the exact boot sequence of the SGS2 GT-I9100 nor the partitions interdependence (for example say that the boot partition needs the recovery or the sbl), I coudn't zero that partition because is a dependence.

What I woukd like to know if is possible:

- Backup all partitions.

- Zero, from android with dd, all partitions that allow anyone to enter odin/fastboot/clockworkmod/recovery so, if I lose the device, no one can make a odin backup or reset my device, unless you restore the partitions from the android or you use a hardware JTAG.

- Even the previous done, the phone must be able to normal boot into operating system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FredFS456:
I have a gut feeling that that's not possible. For recovery/odin modes, it may be possible due to them not really being directly involved in the boot process. However, for fastboot, I think it's part of the bootloader itself and therefore cannot be disabled using simple commands without also disabling the phone's booting process. For example, if you have the proper drivers installed on your computer, a Galaxy Nexus that's booting into Android will show up the same device as if you're connected via Fastboot. Unless someone can alter the source and recompile a bootloader with disabled fastboot, I don't think what you stated above is completely possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
I think what I need could be done with a locked bootloader. As far as I know, the Samsung Galaxy S2 comes with an unlocked bootloader (causing the security flaw) while other like Samsung Galaxy Nexus come with a locked one: that means on stock devices, with use pattern or password and usb debugging disabled, there is no way someway can access you data even if not encryption is set.

Anyone can clarify things on this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Bump, and back on topic.

Any developments here?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamOutler:
Yes. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1640443

it's done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E:V:A:
Does anyone know HOW it's done??

EDIT: Actually the accompanying documentation explains quite well! :)

@Adam: Do you think we could tweak these drivers etc. for other devices not using OMAP?

(It seem that many protocols are standard, inducing the serial (UART) over USB FTDI-drivers...)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamOutler:
It works just like UBM... but stock.

No. I dont think we can do that. Its an omap tool that requires bootmodes to be proper to work on omap. It can be applied to other properly configured omap devices.

So, should I try to unlock the bootloader?

A device with S-OFF likely won't help us get S-OFF on other devices. For that reason, I'm not going to move it to the Dev section. Thanks for the consideration everyone!

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raydawg:
what is this touch screen update you speak of? unless that update is installed somewhere in the circuits of the actual screen then my phone should be running the same touchscreen software as before.

Im fairly sure the screen is installed correctly but ill prob take it apart tonight and reassemble it just in case. though i would imagine an incorrectly installed screen would just mean the touches would be off, but I don't think that would cause the phone overall to run so damn slow. who knows though

Run a backup, Wipe data, factory reset, reflash rom, rebuild cache, dalvik, fix permissions.

Whenever you open the device up, make sure your wearing Gloves. Latex Rubber is what I use when working on phones. Also make sure your area is clean. A little bit of Static Electricity can cause a lot of issues.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsp254:
I had a similar problem. Replaced touchscreen only. Responsiveness was crap afterwards. Heck, my broken screen was better, mind the occasional gorilla-splinter and cuss. I tried radio/touch upgrade again, unrooted/rerooted, everything. Nothing worked. I ended up doing the TEP which is what I should have done in the first place, but I tried to save a few $. Ended up spending more in the longrun.

I didn't use rubber gloves and suspect I fried something internal, or got some finger grease on a circuit. Live and learn. If you don't have the equipment protection, I don't know bro. Good luck.

I've been using DarkForest, but I'm not sure how actively it is being developed anymore, so I'm considering trying JokaWild.

I've also used TEAM Stock which is a little different since it really just patches the stock rom you're already using:

As for kernels, the DoomKernel seems to be the standard for unlocked devices.

I haven't tried the ICS stuff yet, though so can't offer any advice if you want to go that way. I'm still waiting for a bit more maturity and assurance that games will still work.

Or if you want to go the non-stock route, you can try one of the CyanogenMod builds. Just keep in mind the gamepad will not work the same for all apps/games and some games may not work correctly. (I personally switched to Stock roms when the GameLoft Spider Man game crashed on startup on CM7)

When vibrate is on in SMS options it vibrates even if the sound is on.

There is also vibration for calls and SMS in the general sound settings but it also seems that the phone vibrates only for calls.

I just need it to vibrate when I put it in vibration mod.
