[Q] "E:signature verification failed" - how to create an image not triggering this?

Is it possible to create a custom zip image, which could be applied using the original "Android system recovery", and which would not trigger "E:signature verification failed"?

Or, perhaps the question should sound - how is the signature verified, so that I can create my own zip image?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inaqi69:
No, thats why we use custom recoveries like CWM/TWRP. Just flash any custom recovey (I take no responsibility, be careful :p ) and flash! :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeraphSephiroth:
I believe you can disable signature verification

Is it possible to have the Tmobile firmware for Samsung Galaxy Note II installed on an ATT phone? If so, how?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 06SilveradoZ71:
Great question i always wondered if you could i always thought it would brick so i never tried
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hectorram1500:
Hopefully i get some good answers....I'm really hoping to hear "yes, this is how.....".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Just keep the I317 modem and bootloader. The firmware etc will do fine. For network compatibility you may need the AWS mod. Don't Odin anything for the T889 on the I317. Lots of people migrate from AT&T over to T-Mobile just fine.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hectorram1500:
thanks for your input.

I'm just trying to take advantage of some of the software functions from Tmobile specifically the call over WIFI function since my signal is horrible inside my house.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jasvncnt1:
Hi all...I'm looking to get a smart watch. I have been reading up a lot but still have more to go. This is the way I see it so far.

Original gear...can root and run a custom ROM.

Gear 2/neo. Can root but not much else at moment. I do like this one and the original. I like the fact you can reply to text and answer calls. Not sure how much support this will get.

Android wear. Seems to me to take full advantage you need to use Google now and I don't. I find it really drains my battery.

I'm still reading up on android vs tizen.

Am I looking at these the correct way? So far I prefer gear/gear 2 over android wear. Anyone have any input or correct anything I may have said that is wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] phil999:
My thoughts are. You can buy a gear for $99 which i did it has a camera and i can answer phone calls with it.. what do i use it for? Well firstly as a watch second to see my calendar, step counter, i use as a phone dialer for me its quicker to find a contract and dial then pickup the phone rather than pickup phone unlock dial etc. I can't see myself talking into my watch just seems odd. As for Google wear more apps / better apps but twice the cost and not sure i can read exchange email on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Bladder61:
I tend to agree with phil999, I have owned the original Gear since it rolled out. Answering calls on my watch has come in handy on a weekly basis. I don't usually initiate calls, but I am constantly grabbing a call when my phone is stuck in my pocket or sitting on my desk in another room. I use voice activation to both initiate and reply to text. Full exchange email viewing is great at work. For $99 you can not go wrong.

I was excited by the Android Wear watches as they were announce and info started leaking. Now that they are out and have initial reviews I am holding off on picking one up. I like the always on (this is a must in my opinion for a smart watch and sorely missing from the Gear), plus the way it integrates with Google Now. I myself don't use Google Now anymore as I did not get much value out of it, I know others do. There will certainly be a lot of Apps that start becoming AW capable, so I think in the next several months the list of apps will quickly outpace the relative meager list of apps we have for the Gear.

I dont know why Samsung did not just take the Gear 2 or Neo and turn it into the Live. I think the hardware (Camera/IR/Speaker) would have been a big hit for the AW platform. The way Sammy is pumping out smart watches it may be advisable to wait for the Live 2 as it will address feedback they receive on the Live 1.

So my advice is get something. $99 for a Gear 1 is a great way to experience your first smart watch. If you use and like Google Now, then grab a Gear Live. It does that slickly on your wrist and there is surely a ton of apps that will soon be compatible with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mikespe:
This is exactly what I did. I got a Gear 1 on SlickDeals (Refurb) for $99 and it just arrived yesterday. I will be honest though, it was HELL trying to get Tizen to connect to my Note 2 running Nebula but I finally got it running today. I really like Tizen even though it has less apps than Android. But be honest with yourself, how many apps are you going to use on a 2 inch screen? With Tizen you can check ALL your notifications as well as answer calls...plus take a quick picture...I can't tell you how many times something was happening & I wanted a pic of it but by the time I got my phone out it was too late.

I think $300 is too much for a smartwatch. I know some drop more than that on a regular watch, but considering you can get a high end phone on contract for less than that (or a Google phone for just over that) I think they are over priced.

First, decide what you plan on using the watch for. I bought mine on a whim when I saw the deal on SlickDeals. But I can see where it will come in handy now that I have it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jasvncnt1:
Edit
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jasvncnt1:
I want to thank all of you for taking the time to answer and give me your opinions. I greatly appreciate it. After reading I think your all right. I'm gonna look into the gear. I don't really use Google now at all. Tried for a few days. Didn't care for it and drained my battery. The main things i would like to do is receive notifications, reply to text, i guess with svoice, and i think answering calls would come in handy. I see the gear can also be rooted if I wanted to which I guess is a plus. I'm assuming most are running with stock TW? That will be the toughest thing..running TW. Been running custom ROMs forever. But sounds like it will be worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mikespe:
If you want notifications you're going to have to update to Tizen. Stock, the Gear only let's you read notifications from the stock Samsung apps. So if you use Gmail or Handsent it will only let you know you have a message but you can't read it on the Gear. Tizen lets you choose what apps will notify you & you can read the notification on the watch...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jasvncnt1:
Thanks. I did not realize that. I've been reading here that many people are happy with tizen.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Bladder61:
I ran the Null Roms for a long time. Still miss the ability to run any launcher and customize everything, but I gave Tizen a shot about a month ago. I am happy with Tizen, functional, smooth, longer battery life, and it does what I need. With Null I could use the watch as a small full android device. I have come to realize that I want my watch to be an extension of android for notifications and convenience.

To be honest I have been wearing a Qualcomm Toq, I picked up on ebay for $100 for the past 3 weeks. I can voice respond to text, but with no speaker I cant answer calls on the watch. I can select answer call, but it answers on the phone (this does give me time to stand up and dig it out of my pocket). The always on and 4-5 day battery life plus wireless charging help to offset the one missing feature.

When one of the manufacturers puts a low power color display (Mirasol) on a Gear 1 / Gear 2 type hardware platform it will be the type of smart watch I am looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jasvncnt1:
I have been reading about Null and it does sound very cool. But after reading your response I think your right. I just want the watch the be an extension. The only draw back i guess is your kind of stuck with certain Samsung phones. I was reading a thread about getting it to work with other devices but seemed to be hit and miss. Im gonna go check out the watches again. If I was able to get the watch to work with a custom ROM and still have the features I need it would be a huge plus. Maybe I'll grab one and try it out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pieinthesky10:
Hi all,

I'm headed over to the US for a couple of weeks for work. I tend to visit every ~6 months or so. My last couple of trips I have used just my normal Australian SIM with International roaming, and it gets pretty expensive and I tend to avoid using data to keep costs down. So If I can get something that I only use and pay for this trip, and then use it again next visit, that would be good.

This trip I've decided to get a pay as you go/prepaid/30 day plan type of SIM card.

I just want to make sure I am looking at good plans, and that they will work with my Nexus 4. Please let me know if there are better options :D

T-Mobile SIM - http://www.walmart.com/ip/T-Mobile-Micro-and-Standard-Combo-Sim-Card-Activation-Kit/34443771

T-Mobile Unlimited - http://www.walmart.com/ip/Email-Del...0-MB-at-up-to-4G-speeds/15443360#Q&A+Exchange

Straight Talk SIM - http://www.walmart.com/ip/Straight-Talk-AT-T-Compatible-Dual-SIM-Activation-Kit/34565627

Straight Talk Unlimited - http://www.walmart.com/ip/Email-Del...k-and-Web-Access-30-Day-Service-Card/15443344

Straight talk is going to be a little cheaper, but only by $30 or so. I hear that it can be quite restrictive? But I think it uses AT&T.

International calls/texts are good for me, but then again if I have unlimited data Ill just use Viber or something.

Any advice would be appreciated :D

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warbuff:
You can use the T-Mobile activation kit you linked to and go to T-Mobile's website and activate their 30 dollar 5gb data, unlimited texts, and the only downside being 100 mins.

You can also check out simple mobile which is owned by the same people that own straight talk. It uses T-Mobile's towers. You can pick up their Sim card at a number of phone retailers. You can check on their website the closest retailer to you. They have a couple of cheap plans. $40 for 1gb and unlimited everything else. They also have some plans that have international for i believe 10 dollars more.

Keep in mind that the data allotments listed above are technically "unlimited" in that you'll only be throttled to edge speeds. Extremely slow.

Right now I'm alternating between the $30 T-mobile plan i listed above and the $50 Simple Mobile with 3gbs of data and unlimited everything else.

Feel free to ask me any other questions.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pieinthesky10:
Thanks mate, appreciate your thoughts.

I think Ill just grab the T-Mobile starter kit, the low minutes isnt too bad for me as I will do most of my talking over data anyway. 5gb seems to be reasonable!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warbuff:
Great choice. Here is the link the plans is kind of hidden. Scroll near the bottom. http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans

Just noticed international texting is included in the plan now.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justrad1111:
I initially dropped my phone in water (sink), got out immediately and dried in rice. 72 hours later I powered up and all apps work, sound, making calls etc work. The problem is only half the screen works. I've replaced with a new digitizer and LCD screen. And still only half of the screen (same half) works. Do I have any other options? PLEASE HELP﻿ Please. My phone was purchased from AT&T if that helps.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumit77seo:
Did u replaced the digitizer and LCD or u went to some service center?

Without knowing the problem and changing both the things blindly, surely, waste your money. If touch was not working buddy, then why u replaced LCD?

Okay, now its done, better move on.

If replacement didn't do any good, Then there might be a chance of other hardware problem... You can contact your provider's service center, they will surely look into this matter.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjmck:
I also have been having touch-screen problems. Several parts of the screen don't respond to touch. I'd rather fix this phone than replace it.

I am running Android 2.3.6, kernel 2.6.32.9 a21146@zch45lnxdroid55#2.

I see there is no screen calibration for this version.

I have purchased another digitizer screen but have not yet tried to install it. The ATT service center is not likely to help, as I have rooted the phone and enabled side-loading and mobile tethering.

Two questions:

1. Could changing to a later Android version and doing a screen calibration fix this?

2. How should I prepare for replacing the digitizer, other than a Titanium Backup?

Are you typing the full path, where XBMC is located? I normally just drag and drop the file in to the terminal after adb install. For example adb install '/home/fatfarley/Downloads/xbmc-13.1-Gotham-armeabi-v7a.apk'

Try using the Amazon FireTV Side App Installer (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2736774) as it gives everything you need to install XBMC and all the goodies.

EDIT: Be sure to place your version of XBMC apk in the XBMC folder within FTV.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vylle:
1) Turn on USB Debugging in settings, check the IP of the device as well

2) Install ADB on your PC

3) Go on to CMD and enter the path that leads to ADB (usually in *\android\sdk\program-tools)

4) Enter "ADB connect <insert IP of your fire tv>

5) after it connects, enter "ADB install xbmc.apk

6) then afterwards go back to settings > applications and bam its there

hey. i was reading a post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=259932&highlight=battery+icon) that talked about changing the colors on the top and bottom bars. in the directory "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\ThemeName.tsk"

from what i gather you are supposed to create the ThemeName.tsk file and then in that file you enter 2 values:

Color_SoftkeyFlatCenter - For color of soft keys bar background

Color_TitleFlatCenter - For color of task bar background

If anyone knows what i'm talking about hoe do you go about making both the top and bottom bars black? i couldn't find the value for black.

D959

Took the ota for 4.4.2 (bad idea #1) rooted via towel root v3 installed cwm via playfulgod's gflex app. (Bad idea #2) warning message told me not to I derped up and did it anyway.

Rebooted into recovery, wiped data/cache (she needed a reset for personal reasons) upon reboot I was prompted with a message *here is where I really messed up* message said something to the effect of "you may have lost root would you like to reroot?". I clicked OK (bad idea #3) and it hung at splash screen.

I have tried all unbrick methods on xda. I know what the crazy Korean screen says (with the barcode) and it is not at all relevant so don't get excited if you see it.

I was recently able to get into recovery wipe data/cache has no effect.

Fortunately I got my money back, but I don´t understand how the imei block only affected the voice call, however all data package worked fine.

Anyway, it's a very delicate situation to have in mind, because I was looked on line the imei status before buy it and was fine.
