Mate, i think you're trying to flash the Guru zip as a firmware zip and this is wrong.

For flash the guru zip you've to install a custom recovery like TWRP, reboot in it and flash the file from the sd of the phone.

When the installation is finished, your phone will boot.

rumrunners give you an error because you've to use it when you're on android :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsadogslife:
Yeah I am flashing the zip through fastboot, ie fstboot flash zip ruu.zip.

Do I install th custom recovery the same way?

Sorry for being a noob, htc one is more complicated than samsung galaxy.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
There are guides for this.

you've to flash a custom recovery with

fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

and after boot in it and flash the guru zip.

If you don't have it on your sd, you've to push it with the code

adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/

Finally you can flash it through recovery
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsadogslife:
I think my phone has had it.

Tried flash recovey and same error, 12 signature verify fail.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
Mate are you flashing the file in ruu mode? (fastboot oem rebootRUU)?

If yes, and i think yes, you're wrong.

Please, use this guide for flash a custom recovery... (don't check the points 7, 8 and 9, from 6 go to 10)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsadogslife:
I finally got it sorted mate. I had to unlock my bootloader again, once that was done the phone booted up straight away. Then I booted the ruu on the phone sd and installed from recovery. Thanks for all your help mate.

Hey guys I am new to the whole idea of putting a rom on my phone I am using the Sprint Galaxy S4 and I am not the most tech savy person in they world. I have tried installing Goomanager and following the instructions of pressing install open recovery script. When ever I do that i get a message saying "No Recoveries were found for your device" I have seen some other posts about this but like I mentioned I am new to this whole process and the other posts were a little over my head. Any suggestions on how I can fix this easily? Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok, another noob so be nice :) I followed all the directions on how to use GooManager, but it says "no recoveries were found for my device". I recently got the OTA 4.3 update, so I wonder if that is what is causing it to not recognize my device?

I saw on one of the links that I can use Odin to install it as well? I used that to root my Sprint Galaxy S4 originally. Do I just use the same PDA button to select the twrp file that I downloaded to my laptop? And then I just follow the same directions as rooting (to plug it in, wait for it to turn yellow, hit start)? After Odin is done, do I just click on the reboot recovery (so I can install CM)? Any and all help is MUCH appreciated! Really don't want to brick my device so want to be careful and follow ALL directions. However, I've been googling this for the last 2 hours and having found any posts that speak to why GooManager doesn't recognize my device like all the posts and videos say it should :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jonraymond21:
i had this same problem. what I did was download ROM manager from play store and have it install the newest clockwork mod. Then i looked for the flashable version of TWRP (its on this site somewhere, if i could find it i would link it) and then boot into clockwork mod recovery and flashed the TWRP from there which will overwrite CWM. Im sure the more experience guys will have an easier answer but i ran into this same problem like 10 times in the past few days and this worked every time.

Basically what I'm looking for in a browser:

1. Not horrible text rendering like Chrome.

2. Hides address bar when scrolling down, but brings back if you scroll up a little. At the same time, does not have to be in "fullscreen" mode which hides the status bar.

3. Does not have a bar at the bottom with back/forward buttons like iPhone. I like my screen space and there's already a nav bar down there.

4. Flash is a big plus but not essential.

Chrome sucks, Opera is now similar to Chrome, Firefox text rendering sucks, new AOSP sucks. Dolphin's out (pinch to zoom doesn't work, address bar stays hidden on scroll up).

I just want my Jelly Bean AOSP browser back. It was just perfect in every way.

Easiest Way To Flash TWRP

OP, Easiest way to do this is head to this thread, download YOUR PHONE'S version of TWRP recovery, put it on your SD card, download Flashify and Quickboot via the Play Store, open Flashify, select recovery, find the recovery.img that you placed on your sd card, flash, open quickboot and reboot into recovery. VOILAH! TWRP is now installed:) I did this on my AT&T D800, but I assume it should work with all other variants. I am not responsible if something goes wrong. This was just the easiest and fastest thing for me! Press thanks if it worked:good:

P.S. make sure you are ROOTED and BUSYBOX IS INSTALLED.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzcap:
I used 2.6.3.2 but I probably mucked it up because I used flashify. I ended up flashing back to stock.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellybear456:
Do you have the At&t version? Also, make sure you are rooted and busybox is installed.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djraimondi:
I do not recommend using flashify. Just my opinion. Have heard of so many problems using flashify.

If you read the guide I explain a little in detail what the actual commands to flash twrp actually do. I'm not sure how the internals of flashify flash the recovery. I'm not sure if the app has the equivalent of the "./" command.

Also when booting into recovery I recommend "adb reboot recovery" or using the volume down and power button method. I feel these ways avoid the least amount of problems. But that's just my two cents. I am by no means an expert. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzcap:
Yea I'm rooted on verizon. I used the root method OP posted. All I did was put the file on the SD card and flashed the .img with flashify, but I didn't have any of the other apps installed you mentioned. The phone started back up in twrp, but that's all it would do other than download mode. I'll try the tutorial OP made this weekend when I have some time.

help

Hey there just started reading through your thread good job. Im pretty new to android and this was the first time i rooted my phone. Worked out great but seeing how my device is the D803 (canadian device) and theres no version of TWRP for mine so should I just wait it out? Plus after I root am I suppose to have some backup program or what? :eek: I'm kinda lost right now and hope someone can guide me into the right direction.;)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djraimondi:
I'm not positive if there is twrp for the D803. Rooting just allows you to access all the files and folders on your device. Twrp is called a custom recovery. It is what allows you to create a backup of your current system (see my last two screenshots) and it also allows you to flash new versions of android.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms54:
ok so since theres no twrp version for the d803 shoulld I just continue on and not worry or is twrp important?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djraimondi:
You technically don't need a custom recovery but I wouldn't flash any Roms without one. A custom recovery is basically your "oh ****" situation. If for instance you flashed a ROM and something went wrong the recovery would allow you to fix it. If you didn't have a recovery you would essentially be screwed.

I wouldn't do any flashing until twrp is available.

If you want more information about twrp and custom recoveries I recommend going to the twrp thread as they can answer better then me.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms54:
ok I'll definitely wait till a twrp version comes out for me. Since I already successfully rooted my phone im ok for now right as long as I dont flash anything ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djraimondi:
Yeah root won't hurt. You can actually do a lot of neat things with just root. I will try to find a list of them. One of them is an app which removes all ads. I forget what it is called though.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms54:
yea that would be cool if you get get me a list of stuff to have. So far I only have Xposed and using titanium backjup to get arrid of some bloat.:fingers-crossed:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mWags:
To OP, thanks for taking the time to do this. Yes, I don't mind a bit of handholding as I've never rooted a phone before so I really appreciate it. Installed root and TWRP w/out issue. Was a little surprised at how much space TWRP took up. Anyway now I just need to decide which ROM to flash.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djraimondi:
I recommend Malladus. From my research it seems that LG based Roms work best. My second choice would be Carbon though.

Hi!

I just got my T-Mobile prepaid sim card in the mail today. I set it up with the $60/month plan (2.5GB 4G speed data). However, something seems to be very wrong. Where I live (San Jose, CA), T-Mobile is supposed to have "Very Strong" to "Excellent" LTE coverage, but I am only getting HSPA+. In addition, on HSPA+, my download speeds are a measly 0.5 Mbps down and 0.7 Mbps up. This is with full bars, -75 dbm 19 asu. It also seems to switch between HSPA and HSPA+ a lot.

Is there something I need to do after activating the phone (I went on the T-Mobile website, entered in the sim details/imei and paid for the plan)? I tried looking at the APN settings, but they match up with what T-Mobile says they should be:

Thanks in advance!

User's from the mini/ultra/maxx all use this forum since it's all basically the same phone... If you're on the Ultra there is one custom ROM available in the development section as they belong...the only ROM I've seen is the PAC ROM, provides much customization and lots of features... Our ultra and I believe the other two models do not have an unlocked boot loader so you can't flash a custom ROM or kernel without that...if you have the Dev version of the maxx then you can go ahead and unlock your boot loader and enjoy the Rom(s)

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahjee:
Well the ota can be rooted and I have safe strap as well but without an unlocked boot loader you cannot flash Roms or kernel's...

Jcase already has taken care of that
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tortoracer:
im new to android flashing, and bootloaders and all of that, but im only going off of my past experiences with my droid 4.

what i thought: a locked bootloader meant no custom kernels. as long as i have a custom recovery such as safestrap, i could flash ROM's, which is why there are ROM slots. i had eclipse ROM on my droid 4 even though that had a locked bootloader.

where am i getting confused? did the rooting process take care of the bootloader? or did ss bypass that?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkswind1:
You're right, you can flash roms with a locked bootloader. However you cannot flash a kernel (boot image) with a locked bootloader. So far though, no stock based roms that I know of for this phone. I don't know if that's because safestrap is still in beta or what.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tortoracer:
whats a non "stock based" ROM? i have only had phones with a locked bootloader, so im a bit confused there. what would be different? would it be seen, or would that only be how the phone does stuff internally?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redddog:
There aren't custom ROMs because there isn't a need for one, IMO.

This is the cleanest, most stable, coolest OS I've ever experienced anywhere.

I can't imagine a custom ROM out there that I would prefer.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tortoracer:
as with the ROM i had with my droid 4, the ROM isnt definitely something completely different from the factory. it could be de-bloated, include apps that work well with the device, disable/remove apps that nobody uses. tidy up the framework of the stock ROM.

i would love a pre-cleaned ROM, wifi tether, or really just a deodexed ROM at this point.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukeruss:
The droid 4 used a method called kexec which highjacked the boot process and allowed a custom bootloader to run instead of the phones locked bootloader. Hashcode has stated that kexec may never work for the new moto line but there's always hoping. This is why I just ordered the developers edition.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahjee:
i thought without an unlocked bootloader you could not install custom roms, i knew you couldn't with kernels but i thought no roms either... i am mistaken i assume by the response of the others, or can you not do either? Either way, if you can't use a custom kernel then most custom roms will not work anyhow
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfreemanoh:
Incorrect. The Droid X had a locked bootloader, but it had a fairly large dev community. No custom kernels, but there was a good amount of ROM's available.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahjee:
That would mean roms either came with no kernel baked in or they used to stock kernel then. I never had a phone without the boot loader being unlockable that being said how the devs and community spoke it came off as without it being that way no ROM was flashable but it was likely due to that most Roms come with a kernel baked in which is usually not stock. Anyway, thanks for correcting and informing me. Having a locked boot loader is new to me.

So I assume if I can manage to remove the kernel from the ROM zip I could flash the PAC ROM in our development section?

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfreemanoh:
I believe (at least on the DX) flashing just didn't touch the kernels at all, so we were always running the stock kernel. But I'm not a dev, so don't quote me.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukeruss:
On the droid x and RAZR (prior to kexec) all ROMs were built using the stock kernel. The doid x had an official cm build using the stock kernel. Using the stock kernel for custom ROMs like cm makes it much more difficult to get everything going smooth because the kernel has been optimized to work with the stock ROM which may be a couple versions of android behind.

Look at this post from the nook color thread. Unlocked boot loader with awesome devas equals a device that never dies. The nook color is currently on 4.3 and will probably get 4.4 before long.

That's right. Big ups to Cicadaman for that first Froyo port, "Nookie Froyo", which was invaluable for helping get that first CM7 (gingerbread) build booting (like months and months before GB showed up officially in BN's bastardized android, I might add!) Dalingrin joined in soon after and we and a few others got it polished together.... God, this was what, late 2010 or early 2011. It's hard to believe Android didn't even have even basic tablet support for soft buttons... requiring Tablet Tweaks... Oh, how time flies... :silly: ...and the nook color is still kickin'...

not a stupid question dude, there's a lot going on with these phones and it takes to get educated and even more to be properly educated haha...things i think i know, i don't as you can tell lolol but the kernel is the engine so to speak, it's what makes the ROM or OS run how it does...the kernel has a bigger affect on battery life than the rom itself, well in my opinion but it's really a combination of the two together.

The kernel is what controls the CPU and GPU frequencies and whatnot

You guys say they're basically the same phone so everyone uses one forum, so can we install ROMs made for the other Droid devices?

My guess is probably not, so WHY are they not separated- silliest thing they could have done- I had to track this forum down over a week after I thought XDA just didn't support the Droid Maxx, and still don't understand what's going on.

I also have the same question as the OP: How can there not be a full root process/massive ROM list already for the Maxx with such a big community and such a popular phone line?

We're still waiting on a proper root o.O

That said, anyone have any fun alternatives until then? Favorite/not well-known launchers or other themes?
