I tried downloading that file and then going to Recovery.

I did "apply update from /sdcard" and hit the .zip file but I get the following errors:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Any ideas?

are you sure you have clockworkmod recovery installed?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nook000:
Not completely sure, when I go to Recovery, the top says:

"Android System Recovery <3e>"

Edit: I just went to http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager to download CWM Recovery but it's an .img file which it won't let me flash after reboot into Recovery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
Flash it either via fastboot or download through Rom Manager and install. I usually do the former.

Open up adb.

Turn off device and power back on into fastboot(power+vol up)

Make sure the recovery image is in the same directory as adb.

Name the recovery image to recovery if it hasn't been changed

Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I've done it that way for a while now no issues. You also need a script or a .zip file that will keep the custom recovery so the stock one doesn't replace it.

You can flash it:

Or you can edit the file that does this by following these steps in this post

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nook000:
Thank you a whole very much!! Using both of your advice, I was able to root the device. It took a while because despite installing the drivers, when I went into the Bootloader, it wasn't detected. The remedy was manually setting it to the Bootloader driver irregardless of Windows suggesting I shouldn't.

Now it's all good to go! Thanked you both. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjay3333:
He's right...and thanks for the refrence ;)

If you are going to keep stock then when you reboot Clockworkmod Recovery won't stick. Do as I said in the referenced post or flash a new Rom (my choice :), or just live with it. If you want CWM you will have to USB, cmd fastboot flash recovery recovery.img every time.

I propose the creation of a rom focused on security. Possibly implementing whimper core systems into the rom complete with a tor router and browser. If anyone has any other ideas to add id like to hear them. Is any chef up for the challenge? I predict that you would have a rom that people with every devise would want.

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarlosTheJackl:
Hello XDA,

I honestly know nothing about Windows Phone and flashing, however here is my problem. HD7 died, so I got it repaired by getting a new SD card installed, however it now longer works, and get stucks at the HTC boot screen. I know of bootmode, but that is about it, it was up to date with the latest version of Windows Phone if that matters.

Basically what I am wondering is how do I fix my phone, do I need to flash it or something? Zune doesn't recognize it when its connected, and my carrier is Bell Canada

Thanks,

I got this crappy from eBay as. A backup phone. It had water damage. So I got it fixed n its up n running very well minus 2 minor issues with which I need some help

1.the earpiece speaker volume is too low. Barely audible.

Would getting this fix it ?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkosma:
What I found most helpful on my Captivate was (1) installing a kernel that includes Voodoo Sound mods, and (2) downloading the Voodoo Control app to control it. Turns out the captivate has a fantastic sound chip and can put out a lot more volume if needed.

good luck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cletusarrarr:
That would be via the 3.5mm jack. I'm taking about the earpiece the speaker above the att logo used for calls. There is no way to boost its volume. I'm definite it needs to be replaced. Just need someone to confirm which part of the 2 do I need to get it fixed. Also I got a work around to the capacitive buttons by using the nav bar on slim ics

Just an FYI ....

I came across the following article today and thought I should share it ... Its about another in app sdk like air push, It's called start app . When you download an app with this built in *money making feature* , it adds a new search bar to your home screen, sounds familiar? .. Hopefully like the dev who created the best malware detector for Android on the market, AirPush detector, we can get one made to find this ... anyway the info is in the link.

Ps. When I click on backup all user apps, apparently I only have 3 apps? I clearly have a ton more than that. What gives?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
I use Titanium to restore data on a few important apps like games and such, but I always download my apps fresh from the market every time. I use an app called App List Backup to keep track of what apps I had installed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Warrior 3000:
does anyone have this thing? Does it cost any money per month? been wanting to get one because my coverage at work sucks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ryno_666:
Yes its great, when my internet provider isn't messed up. U just called and complained about crappy coverage and they gave it to me free and no charge per month. Of course I had to front the $100.00 at first for the device and then they credit right back.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Warrior 3000:
o wow i didnt know that. imma try it right now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] copc:
Yes just got shipped one.

When I picked up my 4G LTE, they tried to sell us on the Home phone connect to use instead of our homeline for $20 a month. We get 14day trial on it and when I asked him what if reception sucks, he gave me a 800# to call to get a airave.

We called that Monday and it was here by Wed, hooked it up and it works. Our cell reception at home is fine so we may take it to my parents house as cell recept there sucks.

As far as the home phone connect, it sucks taking it back. sound quality sucked sounded very distant compared to my digital home line. The only thing that sucks is getting the home phone connect took $100 off of my Evo 4G LTE due to a promotion. But a 2yr contract on crappy home line is not worth the $100.

So yes call and get a airave, it cost us nothing to get it in fact we asked to get two one of us and one for my parents since once of our cell lines is for them. They said the 2nd airave would cost money.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neoshi:
The only thing to keep in mind is that the Airave uses your bandwidth and relies upon your network uses to keep call quality up. For example, on my 3Mbit line, if someone starts downloading something during a call, I will suddenly sound like I'm underwater. Of course, there are ways to mitigate that (thank god for DD-WRT QoS settings!).

With my OG Evo and Evo 3D, I was able to stop using my Airave over time. But now with the Evo LTE, I think I need to bring my Airave back out of storage. This thing is almost -30dBm worse than my OG Evo!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
Normally you have to pay for the airrave and it's service its like $100-$200 for the unit and $5 a month.. Something like that... But... If you have really crappy service at home, you can complain about your service and ask for the irave yo be free and no monthly fee.... They gave it to me like that.....

The airrave does use your home ISP bandwidth so make sure you have a good up and down rate.... I think minimum 3 megabits down and I forget up.... The airrave Sprint gives out now still has the repeated text message issue... But hopefully you don't have that problem...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ADJackson171:
Got mine for free but there's a glitch in the system that Sprint is aware of and working on an update for. With my 3D, it would send/receive the same texts multiple times, so I had to stop using it. Haven't had the same problem with the Evo LTE...yet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] omadhaun:
Do you happen to remember what the 800 number was? I have horrible signal at my house, and when I called Sprint about it today (hoping to get an airave), they said that any problems with dropped calls or delayed text messages were because I use Google Voice on my phone and that I would need to uninstall the app to fix it, or contact Google. I don't believe that for a minute, since the app should work fine assuming I get at least some amount of signal for data to be transmitted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bitbearmi:
I've had an Airave since last December. I got it by calling sprint and complaining about coverage in my house and the fact that I don't use a land-line. If you ask nicely, or whine enough (depending upon your strategy), you can get customer service to send you one for free. You do have to agree to return the unit if you are no longer on a mutli-month contract, or anytime that Sprint requests it back if they detect that it has not been in service for more than 3 months. If you do get one, you'll need to call for them to provision it after you receive it. To do this, you'll have to connect the Airave directly to your broadband modem ahead of any routers. The Airave has a router built in, but it sucks. After its been provisioned, you can move it behind your router BUT you must be capable of opening all VPN traffic through your router. This might mean specifically enabling VPN, PPTP, L2TP, etc.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pharaoh0:
Like others have said, if you call Sprint and tell them you have bad coverage and that you know people that have recommended the airave and that Sprint covered the charge....then they usually send it out for free. An FYI, you will still have to pay taxes and the admin charge on the airave, even if comped (I think it's a couple of bucks). Also, while the airave can transmit data, it does so at a very, very slow rate (some people get dial up speeds).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
That's a known issue with the airave.... Or the person you are sending texts to will get repeated texts.... Although with the EVO 4g LTE, I haven't had that issue come up yet...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Me either. I think that issue had been resolved in this newer version of the Airave.

Evo lte with airwave here. I have none of the problems you guys have mentioned. I never set the box up in front of my router either. cable modem >> router >> airwave and all works fine. If you want to change any of the settings I believe you have to be connected behind the airwave. I got mine for free due to almost zero service here between a few hills.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fastamx79:
I have the Airvana brand Airave I got last year (the 3G version) and I have no issues with my LTE on it sending or receiving text messages. In fact, as soon as I get home my LTE connects to it right away.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woodsk:
Got my Airvana Airave today. It is a very simple install, however once it was fully connected none of my phones would register to to the device.

After a bit of digging online I found that you need to log onto your sprint account and change the settings of the airave by default it is set for restricted access, however there are no numbers in the access list. I changed the setting to unrestricted and now all my devices connect.

Really good 3g speeds on my OG EVOs and my LTE. The only issue I have is that your location as recognized by LBS apps (weather, google ect..) is not accurate. This is a known issue according to the Sprint forums.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] weidnerj:
I have the original Airwave at work connected to the commercial ISP. By default, it was wide open supporting up to 3 devices at once. The Internet speed is tied to if the phone can reach a real tower and if it can't (even in the Airwave coverage area), then it will use the Airwave at super slow speeds. Also the original Airwave requires the device to be able to get a GPS lock to ensure that it isn't used out the the Sprint area.

But over all it works pretty well. Because I was able to talk my employer into letting me use it at work, because of safety reasons and customer experience since I left it open to everyone.

Like stated, Sprint doesn't charge for it since I originally complained that I got no service at work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sachinkhanna:
I chatted with Sprint and for some reason the guy didn't even suggest it, maybe I will try again and hint at the airave. My buddy has it and it works beautifully, but the coverage within the house isn't very good.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] boxdgm:
i was having the same problem earlier today. Ended up being caused by having my original evo which was taken off my account for the evo lte powered up and constantly trying to connect through the airrave and bogged it down to the point of not working at all. i turned it off and it went away, turned it back on and problem came back.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] h8rift:
Hello everyone,

rhcp was able to locate a method with which to do updates the standard way HTC does them. If you are, for instance, on 1.73 and have the 1.85 OTA .zip file (the one sent from HTC, not a CWM .zip file), you can use this method to place it in the right location and start an update.

Disclaimer:

I do not take responsibility if something goes wrong. PLEASE do this at your own risk.

Please do not use this to go to 1.85 as you may lose root. This is more FYI for future OTA updates or after 1.85 is rooted.

Requirements:

You must have ROOT before doing this. You'll be accessing a location that is not writable without root.

You must have the official OTA file. If someone can help with this portion I can post it here for all users to use if they wish.

Follow these steps to pull the OTA update:

When it shows "downloading" and the OTA completes, if you have root, please do the following:

adb shell
cd /cache
ls -l

Locate the file ending with .zip here. May look extremely long and should resemble something like OTA_Evita_U_Cingular.........zip

Quit out of adb shell

adb pull /cache/<file name of the OTA package.zip>

Post that package.zip file on a file share and send me the link and I will add it to the OP.

To update using the OTA file, follow these steps:

adb push <file name of the OTA package.zip> /mnt/sdcard/
adb shell
su
cp <file name of the OTA package.zip> /cache/update.zip
cd /cache/
mkdir recovery
cd recovery
echo “–update_package=/cache/update.zip” > command
adb reboot recovery

This will cause your device to update using the OTA method that HTC uses to push updates.

If this helped you...PLEASE donate to rhcp, which happens to have had to pay for a new One S due to bricking the first time figuring this out. His donate link is here.

Toss me a Thanks if you think this guide was helpful :).

The only issue I have is getting my OC to work 100%. Aside from that, I love the phone to death!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] anika200:
This method does not seem to work for me. I have no trouble following the steps but the phone just boots into recovery and nothing else. Also I think there are a couple of "exits" missing from the list of commands right after the creation of the command file, maybe they are implied.

Has anyone else verified this works for them? I am on a rooted, TWRP and still at 1.73. I also tried this method with CWM recovery installed but no luck.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kizzle4:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
It will fail once it reads the build prop and realizes that this isn't an international one x, and if it does flash you would have a nice paperweight

Besides what does this accomplish? You can't modify ANY zip file from HTC without breaking the signature. Which makes this method useless
