[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
So, most other phones have a q&a section, so why dont we? That would probably keep people from posting questions in development. Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
There is. It is stickied in the epic4g development section.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
But a Q & A thread in the General section isn't a bad idea - some questions have absolutely nothing to do with development, and everything to do with the already-developed.

And some questions don't need an entire thread, just one post to ask and one post to answer. Topics worthy of a full guide should then be the only questions with dedicated threads (and the OP can update the first post as new information comes in, compiling it all in one easy to find place)
[Epic 4G General] bighuta:
Also if you have a separate section for Q/A, you can differentiate between different topics, instead of searching through the Q/A topic on the Dev section. Not to sound lazy, but it would be easier to search via topics in a specified Q/A section.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
The hero has a q&a section, and it made things a lot easier to ask questions because no one was on your ass for being curious about something.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
+1000000000000000 on this!

I have seen countless amounts of topics that are always moved because of confusion, or get bagged on for asking something dumb.

With a Q&A section, people would be free of asking a question, and with all the questions in one place, it may be easier to find the topic you're looking for.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Thank my post if you want a seperate q&a section like the nexus s, evo, captivate, hero, etc. has!
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Ok, I got a pm from an admin and he said that he can't control if the Epic gets a q&a and that there are requirements to get one. Sorry guys :)

Im willing to help get a q&a section if I can. All I need are some detailed instructions telling me what I have to do.
[Epic 4G General] Vanquish46:
What are the requirements? I don't understand why they couldn't just add one.

I've been curious about this absence for a while, but never said anything. Thanks for bringing it up.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Lol they're not gonna say. There ain't no requirements. Its a little scapegoat
[Epic 4G General] Vanquish46:
How is it a scapegoat? No one cares enough for someone to be blamed or there to be fall out.

Please just add a Q&A board. It would definitely cut down on the stupid froyo topics and the like.

I was using 2e recovery to make a nandroid back up, then went back into recovery to flash a mod but Rom manager didn't boot into recovery right. A exclamation mark pops up in a triangle, then nothing happens until i press the home button and recovery but with this error "failed to verify whole-file signature". Now i can't use cwm to flash anything. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duce HD2:
Try uninstalling Rom manager, then re-download it and re-install it and re-flash it.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kavehmz:
I have the same problem now,

What is your ROM?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
Had same issue with the verification, this is how I ended up fixing mine.

1. Odin with "froyo no brick eugene", and the pit

2. Place CWR on sd card, reinstall updates may have to do this process twice till you boot into CWR, if verification error do the following.... place the

CWR voodoo recovery on. Rename "update.zip" and go about it this way.

3. Once in recovery you should be able to flash any rom, as usual wipe data/factory reset, cache,davlik. Should be good to go, Voodoo CWR has helped me, been through this process twice.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
Had this problem also. Try using hardware keys for recovery instead of ROM manager. It happened with eugene gingerclone r2. I think it's because the cwm recovery on the kernel and the update.zip are two different versions.

Hello,

I am on a Samsung Galaxy S (original rom) with froyo.xwjpa and i can't get clockwork to work. ("failed to verify whole-file signature") Kernel: 2.6.32.9 (rooted phone with lagfix)

What to do?

I tried the update.zip via the 3 button method and via the "ROM Manager" (clockworkmod 2.5.1.2)

(I want to flash my phone with the "Darkys_V8.0_Gingerbread_Edition_Wipe")
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dverrette:
[RESOLVED]

I went from the Unofficial Froyo to Macnut R14 to Obsidian v4.2 and now to Nero v3. I had this problem on Obsidian, I forced into recovery by holding down the volume buttons and the power button then let go after the vibrant logo is shown twice, then flashed a new ROM and it worked, so after switching ROM's (Nero 3), clockwork is working now. I really don't know why it wasn't working, I was unable to flash any mods, themes, or kernels but a ROM worked.

EDIT:

I'm not to knowledgeable about the I9000 Samsung Galaxy S, even though the Vibrant should be identical except for the FFC and ROM, but you can try this:

Did you try disabling your lagfix?

If not then give that a try. If that doesn't do it, uninstall ROM Manager, then reinstall it, open ROM Manager, reflash clockwork, I believe the newest version is 2.5.1.3, then try the 3 button method.

I have the same problem too (using 3e recovery).

Tried pressing the vol + power keys to get into recovery mode, but still getting "failed to verify whole-file signature"

Pls help...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoisariston:
I just rooted my stock Froyo Vibrant and installed ROM Manager so this is a brand new setup. No other ROMs installed. I am getting the E:failed to verify whole-file signature error with no luck.

Tried the following:

-Reinstalling ROM Manager and selecting "Flash Clockwork Recovery"

-Rebooting using "Reboot into Recovery" - I get stock recovery text

-Selecting "reinstall packages"

-I get the error above

-Turn off phone and use Vol Up + Vol Down + Power to boot into stock recovery

-Select "reinstall packages"

-Same error

I want to flash the Bionix-v ROM, but I want to get a nandroid backup first since I've already bricked a Vibrant before with no backup.

Any help would be appreciated!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roumenjr:
Here, this should do it, @ the part where you Reinstall Packages, you might have to do it twice if it brigs you into stock recovery again.

Alright. I cant hold a 4g signal long at all. Funny thing is my dad has an evo and 4g, his holds forever. Should I de-root my phone and take it back or could this be normal. As in some phones can pull the signal better than others?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Sounds like a phone specific issue.

You could try updating your radio to the newest WiMax version.

If that doesn't work then I would get a replacement.
[EVO 4G General] InfectedMushroom:
It's not difficult to flash your radios and the chance of bricking your phone is so small. You really should update your radio/WiMax at least in my opinion. Then maybe the PRI/PRL. Just check Calk's thread and you'll be fine

4 steps to tweak your 4G connection

TRY THIS (i picked this up off the DEV forums back in July and works perfectly for me and my buddies)

First call sprint and ask them for you MSL code (6 digits) they will give you the code no problem.

TURN OFF YOUR 4G *** MAKE SURE 4G IS OFF ***

1. Dial ##3282# hit edit enter the MSL code sprint gave you and click on Wimax.

2. Scroll down to WiMax_Entry_RX(RSSI)(dbm) - click on it and change the value from -89 to anything from -100 to -110 (this will allow your phone to connect to weaker 4G signals). Mine is set at -100.

3. Scroll down to WiMax_Exit_Delay(s) - change that value to 15 (which is 15 seconds) so you will stay connected to 4G longer when the signal drops and you wont get dumped right into 3G.

4. Then hit menu and commit modifications - you phone should reset - if those two dont help just PM me and i can walk through some of the other tweaks in that menu.

YMMV but i have done this to my EVO and 3 of my buddies and it works great as you can pick up a 4G signal where others cannot and you can stay on the 4G network longer than anyone else when the signal drops.
[EVO 4G General] postwick:
don't you get better transfer rate on a strong 3G signal than a very weak 4G signal?

what's the point of staying connected to 4G longer when the signal is gone? if there's no signal, there's no signal...why wait longer for it to connect to 3G so you can keep doing what you were doing?
[EVO 4G General] topdawgn8:
+1 on this. Also check out the thread to connect to 4G sooner (I'll dig up the link here after lunch if no one else does)

I only get to use 4g while on the interstate, but there were huge patches of it where I would get disconnected. Now I can drive all the way to work, connected, without a drop.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726877&highlight=##3282#
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Since you're rooted you can just download msl reader from the market instead of having to call sprint and all that.
[EVO 4G General] topdawgn8:
You're right, you can download faster on a strong 3G signal; however, if you are downloading a large file (got ROMs?) if you are mobile and come across a dip in reception and your signal is dropped...so is your download. Now in my case on the interstate, I would drop out of 4G twice on the way to work for aboutfive miles each time. I set my minimum connection to -98 db and it never drops the connection and I never have less than one bar. If it has nothing it will only be for a couple seconds if that, but I never have an interrupted connection.
[EVO 4G General] mroneeyedboh:
whoa thanks guys. long story short. I was going to take it back so S-off'ed it and derooted it. I said Hmm 4g is now on... So then I rerooted and from flashing the PC36IMG file to deroot my evo, it must have changed my boot loader to 2.10 from 2.02...

None the less Its all good now. I just finished the root and when I got into the rom ( sprint lovers, its inlcuded with the savior method ) I had 4g, I then nand'ed and Now It just rebooted and IM in 4g with 2 bars on the 4g icon.

My dad is rockin Myn's warm and he has 4g all day. Oringally on my first root I did Fresh and I think that crunked up my ****. Weird thing is that I held onto my RSAs and MACs all matched, just didnt want to fire up. I did try to update radios etc and nothing.

And the other thing is that where I live is a 4g in buildings area, so I know something was acting up. Im going to flash Myns and see what I get.

And is that 4G fix really worth it?
[EVO 4G General] topdawgn8:
Yes

[EVO 4G General] postwick:
cool, thanks for the explanation. makes sense that you don't want to drop your downloads...are there any download utilities out there that could help with this, like the ones for regular PCs? it could be very useful to have an app that will resume a download when the connection comes back.

anyway, thanks for posting those settings and how to get in there, could come in very handy in the future.
[EVO 4G General] mikeinghilterra:
in theory that would make sense but i can still download at 2 mb/s on 1 bar or less using 4G in NYC where as if i was on 3G i would have full strength and would probably only hit 1 mb/s
[EVO 4G General] topdawgn8:
The only client-side apps that handle downloads for me are the torrent apps, but that's just inherent in how torrents work. I haven't come across a download manager like you describe. The download management in Android will wait for a connection if you lose signal using the same radio, preserving the integrity of the file, but it doesn't handle the switching from 3G to 4G well in my experience...it always drops the download.

How can I know that a custom rom has not been tainted with malicious code or rootkits somewhere along the line? Is it usual to get google security updates from the developers for a particular rom? Is there a team that audits code? It would nice if xda rom developers had homepages that discussed these issues - I haven't found any yet. If there are some that exist, please let me know.

[Android Software Development] Captainkrtek:
Usually we are pretty good at finding these kinds of ROM's / Malicious code thanks to the diligent community of developers. Although we haven't seen any it is quite possible for it to happen with some "rogue" app included. The main reason this doesn't happen is the fact that editing system APK's is tough as editing them can break down other app's dependencies which would raise a flag quickly for users. In my opinion we are pretty safe, if you do encounter such an instance please report the offending thread and it will be handled.

I wonder how many lines of Kernel code it would take to do a malicious kernel exploit. What of there was a malicious version of ls or mv? Would anyone notice in time to prevent a drastic failure?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Im Too Legendary:
Hello everyone, I'm not only completely new here, but also to the whole process of "rooting", "flashing", and other aspects of unlocking my G2 device.

This thread was not only made for helping me and directing me to where I go about "installing" the Sense UI - but along with a couple questions.

I'm sure there are several users on here who have done this process, and I ask what made you make the "switch". What does Sense have over the apparently "stock" android UI that the T-Mobile G2 is shipped with.

Second Question: If I were to install Sense on my G2; and seeing as how theoretically with the Stock UI on the G2 updated would be attained faster, would the installment of Sense on my phone hamper such "updates" in any way shape or form?

Third Question: If it turns out that I'm not satisfied with the Sense UI experience, can I quickly revert back to my Original UI? What would I lose in the process, and what could possibly happen to my phone?

Fourth Question: How "hard" would you consider this installment? I consider myself being pretty tech-savvy; however I have yet to venture in any sort of way as how to even begin "rooting" my phone. As such I believe I have come to the best for help.

Fifth Question: Is there any step by step instructions/videos out there that depicts exactly how to install Sense on my G2?

I believe this covers all of my questions at the moment, and I appreciate any and all whom of which allocate their time in attempts to ease me in the process of not only making this decision, but when/if I do indeed decide to install Sense on my G2.

Thanks everyone - and Happy Holidays! :)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakedunc235:
I usually don't post but before you get roasted by everybody else ill give you a little bit of help. Go in the forum G2 android development. Read the first couple threads to learn how to use the search bar. If you want sense then look at virtuous rom. Its a pretty good version of sense I used it for about a month with no problems at all. If you go to the first post in the thread that the rom is on it will tell you how to go about doing everything. In this forum you'll also find threads that tell you many possible ways of going about rooting your G2. Just make sure that you know that whatever you do to your phone is what YOU do to your phone. I am no way shape or form trying to get you to brick your what I assume to be a new device. Just read up and follow ALL instructions carefully.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvaj23:
Much better said thanks lol
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
It probably makes sense for you to flash a custom ROM that is based on the Sense ROM. That way you will get all the Sense stuff. You won't get any OTA (Over The Air) updates if you're on a custom ROM, but that shouldn't matter, because hopefully whoever cooked up the ROM will be keeping it up to date anyway (and probably more quickly than HTC/carriers).

What you should do is get root/S-OFF on your phone (I recommend using the guide in the Wiki - http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php...cess_.28Permanent_Root_.2F_.22Permaroot.22.29 - plus this guide to get adb working on your PC - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865685 ). Then, *before* you flash a custom ROM, install the ROM Manager app (from the Market) and flash Clockwork Recovery (from within ROM Manager), then that will let you do a full backup of your stock ROM, which you can easily restore to if you every want to in the future.

It's not at all hard to do once you read up and learn about the steps. It might look daunting at first, but it's pretty simple if you carefully follow the guides. If in doubt, ask questions before you do anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
1. Sense's camera app is miles ahead of the stock Android camera, as is the music player, and there are a few other niceties as well.

2. Once you switch to custom ROMs, you pretty much lose any of the updates released from the carriers/manufacturers. The good news, though, is that developers typically get ahold of these updates and 'fix' them so you can apply them yourself. It's not really a big deal, honestly.

3. Yes. Since HTC has the G2 with stock and the Desire Z with Sense, and they're the same hardware, it's pretty simple to switch between Sense and Stock - just a simple flash.

4. Take the time to read through the walkthroughs - I recommend using the rage method and not VISIONary, but that's me personally. Read through the walkthrough entirely, download the components you need, and then do it. Setup/prep takes ~20-30 minutes, actually rooting your phone only takes like, 5-10 min. It's pretty easy if you can follow directions. Don't overthink it.

5. You need to perm-root your phone first, and install ClockworkMod recovery. I believe the rooting walkthroughs all include the ClockworkMod installation.

Once you have ClockworkMod installed and working, installing a ROM is as simple as downloading a zip file, putting it on your memory card (doesn't need to be in a special folder or anything, just toss it on there) and then choosing that zip file from a menu.

Here are some terms you'll want to know:

Recovery - like BIOS, for your phone (ClockWorkMod is the one you'll use)

Nandroid - full image backup of your whole phone. before you make *any* changes in clockworkmod/rom manager, do a nandroid backup.

SetCPU - free when you register on XDA. Lets you easily overclock your processor and setup profiles (drops the speed if your phone overheats, underclock when the screen is off, etc)

APK - the installer file for Android (kinda like an .exe)

ADB - part of the Android SDK. You can install the SDK to your computer and then use ADB to make changes to your phone from your computer via USB.

ROM Manager - free app on the Market that lets you manage ROMs - you can download new ones, upgrade the one you've got, manage nandroid backups (rename, delete, etc), boot into recovery, etc. Highly recommended.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleef:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Im Too Legendary:
I really liked your explanation on everything that I asked for. I can't thank you enough!

Also thank you to everybody else that has posted in this thread - much appreciated :)

However I have one more question, seeing as how Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) is now on the table, and presumably the G2 (if I keep at it stock/as is) will receive it in the coming months - do you recommend installing Sense? Or just waiting for 2.3?

I'm sorry if that's not a good question, as you can see I'm still unfamiliar with Android (coming from a Sidekick LX hahaha); for what I understand is that Sense is just an overlay over the OS right? Or something of that sort?

Anyways what I'm really trying to say is, would it be easier for me to just wait it out for the Update (2.3) or go ahead with Sense?
