[Vibrant Android Development] Blown 89:
I'm having problems with this on KB5 as well.

I'm rooting using Superoneclick

Run install.bat

copying the recover file in /system/bin

copying update.zip to the sdcard

copying adbWinAPI.dll and adbWinUSBApi.dll to /efs

Open Rom manager, reboot to recover

reinstall packages

and at that point it either brings up the Vibrant splash screen and brings me back to the same screen or boots my phone up

What am I doing wrong?
[Vibrant Android Development] talltexan:
Sounds like us Kb5 guys are out in the cold :( *shivers*
[Vibrant Android Development] Blown 89:
I flashed the captivate clockwork recovery tool in rom manager and everything works fine now. So far I haven't seen any side effects
[Vibrant Android Development] sublimeNaz:
Too Complicated

Sorry but this sh!t is too complicated. All I want is for my CWM to work on my vibrant so I can flash a gingerbread ROM. I'm not a programmer and trying to understand these directions is too much. I guess I'll just wait for Samsung to roll out the official version. I have flashed ROMs before so I understand most of what I read when it comes to flashing but not this. :mad: :(
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
Yeah, got all other steps of the rooting done, but if you're installing the recovery, KB5 is just not gonna work. I suppose I'll ODIN back to JFD *AGAIN* and do the root process there and use a CWM flashable KB5 that's pre-rooted rather than ODIN. *sigh*
[Vibrant Android Development] lol Qaeda:
It's really not that difficult. ODIN back to stock, root, stick CWM on, upgrade whatever you like, done. Takes an extra few minutes but if you're flashing a ROM you might as well be doing a full wipe or two anyway.
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
Thanks, but the point is, if you're already at KB5, you can't install CWM. Of course if you ODIN to an older version, it will work, but NOT with a clean ODIN or Pre-Loaded copy of KB5.
[Vibrant Android Development] Bazinga_:
Damn, the Batch file worked like a charm and did what it say.

THanks OP
[Vibrant Android Development] Burstaholic:
Nice program

Sweet, this saved my life. I just got my repaired phone back from Samsung with 3e recovery and it resisted everything else I tried.

Don't suppose I could get the source of that program? I'm quite curious how it manages to get that temporary root.

Very nice work, thanks for sharing!
[Vibrant Android Development] mattbirk:
I am getting this error "", any help would be appreciated...I read all 18 pages of this thread and I have tried multiple things. The recovery says 3e...I still cannot boot into CWM, and I cannot backup from Recovery...suggestions? Also, I am already rooted.

Thanks!

Well, were you doing this from your phone or pc? I did this from PC and turning usb debugging off then back on got it to work... Well, it SAID it worked, I'm working on getting it to actually work and boot in to custom recovery now...

For the Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S Captivate):

I'm doing my clockwork recovery and all that. If you need help on how to do it, this is how I did it (Updating as I go)

Put the Update.zip and 3eblahblah.zip in to my external SD card on the computer.

Went through Super Manager. Free, decent working root file explorer and such. Just Menu>Set Up>Enable Root Function. Then Menu>System R/W

I actually unzipped the 3e...zip before putting in on my SD card. Do that.

Copy the Recovery file, no extension on that, then go back back back to System > Bin and rename the "Recovery" file to "Recovery1" or "Recovery.bak" then paste the new "Recovery" file.

Copy Update.zip and place that in the /Sdcard from /SDcard/External SD

Got your Rom Manager from the market? Good. Now Flash ClockwordMod Recovery (Top choice) if you haven't already done so. Then 'Reboot into Recovery'

Now when it restarts, go to the 2nd down "Reinstall Packages"

It SHOULD: (This is what it did for me)

****!

Need some help here...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I5800" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I5800 || getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT I9000" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9000" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "SGH-T959" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "SGH-T959")
[Vibrant Android Development] younix258:
Im no expert but id guess youre using the wrong package for the wrong phone.

Also recovery 3e 2e tool comes with instructions if i remember correctly and it wont work unless you follow these instructions EXACTLY so maybe you guys just aren't following em right?

[Vibrant Android Development] EricDET:
The need to go back to JFD or use this recovery installer isn't necessary....

If you're on froyo just odin the stock-Froyo voodoo kernel that has recovery built in.... Takes half as long as either step and is a better recovery....

adb.exe

adbwinapi.dll

[Focus General] pigue:
Is anyone able to power the focus off? When I bought it today it had about 1/2 a battery and I diligently used it until it powered off by itself. Trying to bring it completely down to "Cycle the battery for the first time. I wanted to charge for 10 hrs while the unit was powered off but as soon as I plugged it in it powered itself on. I continue to hold the power button down but it keeps powering itself back on. Is this normal? anyone able to power off while it is plugged in to the charger?

Love the phone so far....

[myTouch 4G General] Jeffmeister:
I am very close to purchasing this phone but I am wondering about the reviews saying it has a bad earpiece sound to the point where it sounds distorted, aswell as the speaker. How is your all's experience with this?

I am choosing between a G2 and a MyTouch3g right now.
[myTouch 4G General] toby4059:
Just got off a call and it sounded fine to me. I chose the Mytouch because I realized that swype made the physical keyboard unneeded, just my two cents.

[HD2 General] trinfinate:
can anybody tell me,or does any body have on opinion on the best radio rom for the tmobile hd2?....like best as in fastest speeds....fewest dropped calls and stuff like that?...thank u my fellow collegues..
[HD2 General] hiway1999:
You can search all day. There is no "best".

There are subjective opinions at best and really little in hard facts or evidence when referencing actual frequency ranges Tmo uses where.

So your search will provide you some small cross section of subjective testimony lacking really any factual objective evidence.

Your search will have to include some logical inference and luck to perhaps hope you correlate what you find with someone who lives near you.

Otherwise you'll have to experiment on your own from the safe radio roms to use and determine with your own parameters.
[HD2 General] egzthunder1:
Thread moved to General.

As per your question, people normally have different results with different radios based on where they are located. It is hit or miss, but in my experience, the latest ones are usually the way to go.
[Quantum General] fathamburger:
This was my fallback choice from the Venue Pro but after seeing it, wasn't much of an option. The screen is really mediocre compared to the Samsung prototype, the scroll speed was even slower and the keyboard while hefty and feeling expensive had sticky keys that really didnt make type very fast at all. Tried two finger typing and frankly didn't make much of a difference over the one handed blackberry type option.

Didn't try the speech recognition , the sales guy thought I was trying to hack the phone by typing in Word lol and took it off me.

In terms of screen quality Samsung/Dell > HTC > LG so far. The TFT screen on that was so bad that it was almost a step backwards from most android phones

I like it so far, app store sucks, no multitasking sucks, I hear there is a major update scheduled in january to address a lot of issues including multitasking and screen rotation. WP7 will be really cool in a year.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STEEPSIDE:
Okay call my adventurous or maybe stupid but could someone tell me if there is a thread that can help me with my issue.

I tried loading the AT&T Rom on my Bell I9000, thought it would be cool to try, but now I cannot get into download mode. I have been reading some threads and I guess loading the Rom has changed the three button configuration, then to add insult to injury when I plug in the phone to try and use adb it kills the USB connection and I cannot get into download mode this way either! Looks like I have a matching set of SGS bricks for a Christmas gift for someone!

Thanks in advance for anyone who might have a solution!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarr622:
Are you talking about the Verizon Fascinate or AT&T Captivate? There is no "AT&T Fascinate."

Sorry dude, that's a tough situation. Not to be rude, but why the heck would you be the first one to try this? It's incredibly risky flashing a ROM from a different device without knowing what will happen first. IMO the quantity and quality of I9000 ROMs is better anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STEEPSIDE:
Hey,

Sorry for the confusion it is the AT&T Captivate Froyo Rom, thought it would be better then all of the European Rom's that I was flashing but I guess.......I WAS WRONG!!!

So I just got my Evo yesterday and have been reading up on it on these forums ever since. I have a few questions that I wasn't able to find very easily by searching, so I apologize if I ask a question thats been answered several times and feel free to tell me to search if its something I should be able to find. I am coming from a palm pre and while it was confusing at first I am starting to get the hang of it.

So rooting. lets you uninstall sprint apps, get an app that lets you wifi teacher, among other things right? that seems like the majority of what I would like to do.

The whole custom rom thing kinda scares me. Can you only do a Nandroid backup once you have root? I assume that will make a backup with the phone rooted? Does that backup all the other things like radio drivers,ect? is there another bootloader or app that I need to make all those back ups?

I feel like I have a good grasp on rooting but are there any good threads on backing stuff up and a comparison of the different features of each custom rom? (I.e one has sense, the other doesn't have 4g, etc)

Thanks for any help and I apologize once again if I am asking obvious and frequently answered questions. (Which I'm sure I am)

--Shadd
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
wow man. i am impressed. you just got your evo yesterday, and you are already using the term bootloader. the last time i helped a noob, he was asking what a rom was. i will be glad to help you. and i am always open for a pm or an email (dkdude36@gmail.com) if any more help is needed.

ok, so you can only nandroid backup once rooted because you need a custom recovery, which is only achievable by root. there are two main ones out there. clockworkmod and amon ra recovery. clockworkmod is simple, user friendly, informative, and fast. it is also controllable by an app while the phone is booted up (rom mananger). clockworkmod has a few shortcomings, like it doesnt wipe dalvik cache properly and it doesnt fix a common 4g-bricking problem called rsa key loss. then we have amon, which isn't controllable by an app, but is all around better. it is just more reliable, safer, works better, has no bugs, and BACKS UP WIMAX.IMG (WHICH YOU CAN RESTORE TO REVERSE RSA KEY LOSS). this is the smarter choice of recovery.

these are very un-annoying and un-repetitive questions for a new-b to be asking. if you need any help rooting, which has been made difficult by the recent ota, pm or email me.

do not use the one click rooting method unrevoked until they come out with a fix for the newest ota, or you will be sorry.

- Video messages: You cannot create a video from your phone and send it via MMS. You can receive video messages though, and you can forward MMS with video to others.

- Downloading apps: Apps will also automatically download if your phone is set to wirelessly sync, so you don't necessarily need to plug in your phone to your computer to have your phone start downloading.
