[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sis3970:
Hi all. I bought the Apollo for my wife. I upgraded to froyo right away. But now I try to root the phone with z4root, and nothing I try seems to work.

Is there something that I am missing ?

Is z4root still working for you guys ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tanyh:
Z4root can't root froyo firmwares, try the super one click root
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sis3970:
Thanks ! I will give it a try this evening.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] grgsujan:
did you root it? was it possible? please tell me? and you upgraded the firmware to froyo??? how ? you flashed it? as for now we know there's no firmware update till date/..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkyfungus:
Hello - I'm new to clockwork. I am running Eugene's Ginger Clone ROM, rooted, and undid OCLF.

I downloaded ROM manager from the Market and installed. I noticed I now have an update.zip file on the internal SD. I rebooted into recovery - but when I click reinstall packages, I get this error:

Finding Update Package

Opening Update Package

Verifying Update Package

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation Aborted

What am I doing wrong? I am DYING to get Nero v2 flashed!

Any help is much appreciated!!

Thanks,

fF
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
on ROM MANAGER did you press FLASH CLOCK WORK RECOVERY? its the first option. YOU MUST HAVE THAT.

if it still doesn't work, on TITANIUM BACKUP, press menu, and click CREATE UPDATE.ZIP and it'll re-do it, but u'll need to re-flash clockwork recovery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkyfungus:
I did Flash Clockwork before the error as Galaxy S Vibrant. I flashed again same error.

I went ti Titanium, created update.zip and reflashed clockwork. Still getting the same error.

Any other ideas - or can I get an update.zip that's known working?

Thanks!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
try re-downloading the ROM and try again..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
IDK how to fix this besides ODIN back to stock, and then re-flash it.

I SUGGEST you just do odin because it'll erase everything and it might be a small bug in your system doing this.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkyfungus:
I even tried older versions of clockwork. I don't think redownloading the ROM would help because I can't even get CW to start.

Strange damn thing.

I guess I'll odin back to stock.

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
yeah it happens sometimes, and you need to ODIN once in a while so your ROMS ghosts don't stay back and haunt your newer roms.

Good Luck on it working.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkyfungus:
Odin'ed back and had to reset phone. Bone stock and re-installed Clockwork. Did the reinstall packages and it rebooted this time and looks hung on Installing Multi-CSC. I guess that takes a while? Babysitting...

fF
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffery fisherman:
same here

Yes I'm having the exact same problem. I'm running nero beta 3 and I'm getting the can't verify signature error with clockwork. I've read elsewhere that this has something to do with having 3E recovery vs. 2E recovery, but I'm not entirely sure what that means. It sounds like we need to Odin back to a stock version to fix this problem, but can anyone tell us which one? Can someone provide a stock version that has the CWM with 2E? Or a better solution? It would be much appreciated, and thanks to funky for starting this thread.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkyfungus:
I odin'ed back to T959UVJFD.tar

That wasn't enough so I wiped all user data via recovery mode. Re-installed Rom Manager - and now I'm on Nero v2.

I figured out the Installing Multi-CSC issue by reinstalling packages again.

Some things just take time I guess.

Thanks for the help guys!

Worked perfectly!

Can someone tell me what folders they go in on my phone.

I have looked but have not found the answer.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] thesmoth:
For some reason I thought the LG Optimus T had 256 megs of ram, but now i'm seeing that the optimus one has 512 megs of ram!? I thought the two phones were identicle, and i'll be very distraught if they have different amounts.

However, if the Optimus T has 512 megs of ram I will be very happy because I ordered two of them, and thought they only had 256 megs of ram.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] johnqevil:
Well, if you ordered two of them, you now have 512.....

...just kidding, it has 512. :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thesmoth:
Lulz, thanks! I'm super stoked now!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPLANE9:
My vibrant has recently had random shutdown/freezing problems so I decided to contact tmobile for a replacement. They agreed, but since I am prepaid I have to send in the phone first. I tried to call customer service to find out what I have to send in but the girl was confused, first saying the whole phone with the back cover and battery and then she said just the shell of the device (hardware). So, what DO I have to send it?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
if you weren't pre-paid then theyd ship you one and you send it back, but since you are, they're afraid you'll jack BOTH of their phones thats like 1000 dollars almost, and they dont want you jacking that much, so thats why.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StefanB86:
I'm pretty sure you will need just to send out the "shell". Battery and Battery door stays with you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Five0nIt:
Yea I think your right. Usually when they send a replacement its without the battery and battery door.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
When i got my Replacement, what they sent me was JUST the front part,

You take battery out, SD Card, memory card what ever, everything out and just send it like that, with no back cover on.

[EVO 4G Android Development] flexgrip:
Fire up an ubuntu image and then connect to it with vnc... I think I'll wait for the movie to come out and save the battery life. Hey wait, thats an idea. We could make a video of someone using ubuntu, and then play it on our phone so it feels like ubuntu. Might even do better on the battery life / "useful" factor.

(I've seen this method before, so keep in mind I am poking fun at the people who would want to do this and not you for sharing this with us.)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ioos:
What is your superior method?
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheMagicalSock:
I believe he's referring to the idea of running Ubuntu on a phone in general. I have trouble seeing the usefulness, but it's very interesting. Thanks for the post, OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ioos:
If that's the case, then I gave him too much credit. This is a fantastic How-To.

UPDATE:

FIXED WILL POST FIX SOON (had to use MAKEDEV)

THIS IS GREAT YAHOOOO

Hi i was hoping you could help me with this problem:

I am using (on a dedicated ubuntu computer with Maverick edition)"https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch" example to create a qemu image using "sudo rootstock --fqdn ubuntu --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --seed nano --notarball --imagesize 3G".

I have also used the "sudo project-rootstock/rootstock --fqdn ubuntu --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --seed nano --notarball --imagesize 3G"

and: "sudo ./rootstock --fqdn ubuntu --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --seed nano --notarball --imagesize 3G" way.

They all work great. I am able to load the image with qemu, got ssh setup and working alls great in life.

The problem lies HERE:(.......

I am using these images (mostly for fun), to setup ubuntu onto my Evo and Epic smartphones using this method: "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881401" to chroot the image.

ITS AWSOME IT WORKS AND LOTS OF FUN!

well sorry for screaming but it really excites me this open source Ubuntu Stuff. (i am a win user, but I found a new toy)

Using the prebuilt image everything works excellent (except for the small image size 2G) that is why i need to use my 3G built image.

My problem: My built image works flawlessly as well, with one exception, (that i have noticed) is, inside ubuntu (on my phone chrooted with android) the terminals do not have a prompt# only black, square curser, and will not except input. I have to use the terminal program inside android to apt-get and such.

I have noticed with my build images, using apt-get during install, i see "Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)"

error. My reserch says terminals wont work if system cannot write to /dev/pts.

The prebuilt image does not have this issue.

What is the differance with the prebuilt that is offered here "wget -c http://w3.impa.br/~gabrield/data/ubuntu-arm-development-rootfs.tar.bz2", and the images I create using the steps outlined in the article.

Is there modifications prior to or after creation, or is this someting different altogether.

I really have been pulling the little bit of hair i have left out of my head for a week now

HELP.!!!

p.s. I have tried all builds etc; karmic,lucid same results

Try mounting dev/pts says it is mounted but busy
[EVO 4G Android Development] mytich:
To Homefix :

Did you try "sudo apt-get install ..." ?

To change bash prompt did you try "export PS1=#" ?

What is an output of "id" command? If you get anything other than root, add that user to root group, or just "su" maybe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] generalExpert:
Can someone please post some pics or a video of this working?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] awaisuk:
Hey guys.

Hope this is the right section to post this.

I am looking for a new phone and it should be running andriod.

One of my options include Samsung Vibrant, but want to explore other phones aswell.

Can someone tell me what is currently the best android phone that is good overall? For music, videos, phone, battery, etc?

It should be able to run 2.2 android, and all the latest upgrades such as 2.3 etc.

Please let me know.

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Shmorange:
What carrier are you under or are you willing to switch?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] awaisuk:
Well carrier does not really matter as I will be buying a unlocked version anyway.

Right now I am just concerned more about the phone, then the carrier.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jaju123:
Nexus s. Fastest and will recieve the most updates while being mega feature packed :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] awaisuk:
Nexus S right now is very expensive, what comes as best after nexus s?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Shmorange:
My benchmark speeds on my droid x according to quadrant are just above the nexus one (1391)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] awaisuk:
Are there any others, droid seems very big
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dbiggss:
In my honest opinion MyTouch 4G is the best android phone out right now. The Nexus S is basically a repackaged Galaxy S. The MT4G spanks most phones out there in most benchmarks-look it up.

I keep mine overclocked to 1.8Ghz (ondemand) all day, get amazing battery life, and pull between 2500 and 3000 in quadrant on first run.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stoneyjonez:
Yeah, take a look at some benchmarks, not even close to being the fastest. The Nexus S lost to the MT4G in a bunch of categories, as well as a bunch of other devices. Just because a device is newer and everyone is talking about it does not mean it is better or faster. Hell, the MT4G beat it in a dogfight by Phonedog (of course that is mostly based on opinion though).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nolageek:
Why don't you provide details as to you limits (price, size and carrier) and then we'll be better able to help you make a decision.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Scrondar:
Couldn't tell you what's 'best,' but if you are willing to go with AT&T, you can get a swinging deal on the Captivate now through Target Mobile (http://www.targetmobilestore.com/mobile/?referringdomain=bullseyemobilesolutions). I upgraded my wife's ancient RAZR to the Samsung device for $69 and only had to add a $15 data plan to her current setup and a 2-year reup. That's a helluva phone for the money.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xtcislove:
nexus S should be the best phone! Most Dev´s should be there!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jasonnguyen3697:
Motorola Droid 2 Global is the best. CPU with highest clock in all android phones there are. yet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ker0ltjuh:

[Wildfire Android Development] drioo:
Stupid. Unroot your phone to install OTA. Or leave the root and install custom ROM based on the latest RUU. There are plenty of them here and growing.
[Wildfire Android Development] Deep-Knight:
I´am also sure that most of our custom roms are working AND there are enough threads about installation, rooting , down / upgrades ...

You should just take a coffee or tea and some time so search the forum. I think every beginner can root and flash our lovely wildfire with the guides from that forum.

Will the non-existance of accelerometer in X1 (X2 has it) be a problem?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymailx:
There is of course, I've answered similar questions times. I noticed that they're only Russell Eclair and Jeperlea. I prefer Russell Eclair because it's very neat and tidy. You may tried the XPURE if you want to have a similar ROM with X2 but the SlideView isn't working well.

So I got bored and tried WPure, it's better because you can install everything individually. Finally I used Base ROM so I can get only Windows Mobile. ;)

okay this is the third EPIC 4G on STOCK or ROOTED ROM ive tried this on and its the same result. whenever im on a call and i use the HEADset that comes with the epic and im on the bus or a car doesnt matter if its 3g or 4g, the minute the bus/car starts moving the other person on the line cant hear ME but i can still hear THEM perfectly well. idk why this happens!! has this happened 2 anyone else??? is this a bug??? can it be fixed???
[Android Apps and Games] Zori:
I've been jumping roms lately, tried cyanogenmod and frost, both were awesome (currently on frost for 4g). But on both roms, my sprint voicemail wouldn't work. And on both roms, I couldn't get google voice to work. Now I'm wondering if youmail is a good alternative? My two fears before downloading it is that 1) it says "services that cost you money", should I be worried? 2) a lot of comments are saying they can't get rid of it. Are they just inept?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

[G Tablet General] bijan588:
Well, I am super surprised that VS listened to us. It really put's them ahed of the game that they actually care about there consumers.

They recently acknowledged our support towards the tablet .

This I never even expected, I cant beleve that they are actually going to release it! :) That is what makes a good company good! Better than *cough*Apple*cough*

At any rate, I think VS may still have a shot at this. If they can push the update before the 25th than they might still have a chance. I can even imaging the G-tablet competing with the ipad if they ether A) Fix TnT B)Have a disable option.

Anyways, Viewsonic, if you read this keep up the good for and dont listen to the critics yakking about the screen.
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
The newest update that Roebeet found yesterday has a disable option for TNT.
[G Tablet General] webby_s:
Amazing, Can't wait to get my VS gTab next week after a couple more gift cards!!!!
[G Tablet General] cscotty:
Disable what?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Alternate launcher ability, so you can bypass the TnT default homescreen. That launcher is part of TnT Lite 3.0.0, which I'll be releasing tonight.
[G Tablet General] beepoo83:
100% agreed

hope to see this update as ASAP
[G Tablet General] amusedkid:
Awesome news. VS actually do care! Can't wait for the update.
[G Tablet General] ralfaro:
Wow ! Things keep moving really fast here... it's great !

Ok....these latest posts coupled with the release of the Kernel code release will solidify my decision to get this tab. Kudos to VS.

Releasing tonight? Yay! I can't wait! (patiently waiting lol)

Thanks,

[G Tablet General] rushless:
Roeby,

Subjective question, but since I am super happy with a nice & stable 2.4, do you think 3.0 is worth upgrading to? One thing I am not thrilled about is losing the ratings stars on apps in the market.

I actually prefer the old market. My Incredible (even though rooted) updated to the new market. Too busy, IMO. Old market is nice & simple. Seems Android is trying for the XBOX look ;)

Any insight on what makes 3.0 worth the jump would be appreciated :)

Newer Nvidia drivers in the update, as an example perhaps? added: Regardless, I just did a CW back-up and new Titanium update, just in case :)
[G Tablet General] abstrusius:
This is wonderful! I was a bit shocked by Staples actions and all the rumours, and is good to see VS fighting back!
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
Not sure if this would save their Xmas sales but should improve their sales next year, I think.

The gtablet would be a good low end tegra 2 tablet next year. That should be their selling point, IMO. However, I do (like I said before) give props to VS.
