MSU_Sparty,

When you do updates (or installs) that have to be flashed onto the internal sdcard, they usually com in pairs of files. You will have an update.zip file that has the update in it (DUH!) -- and accompanying it will be a "Recovery" directory that has a command file in it (The command file has only one line that "calls" the update.zip file.

WinRAR "Zip" utility enters the picture because most of the devs here use WinRAR to package updates. The when they tell you to decompress it, you use WiinRAR and are left with a .zip file to install.

That's the question I had about this update. The Gapp file show to be a RAR package, but when I un-RAR it I come up with no .zip file -- only regular files.

Hope this helps you understand.

P. S. -- If you are new to this business, take it slow and easy and read ahead on this site and make sure you understand what you are doing. I try to do that, but even with years of IT experience I still mess things up once in a while.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Neoprimal,

Thanks for the tip about CWM. I have two tablets and the other has CWM on it and is fairly modded.

But this tablet I am trying to keep basically stock so I can get updates, etc. and see what the "state of product" is.

As mentioned in my previous answer, I am stumped because I am not getting what looks to be an update.zip file from the Gapp download. When I use WinRAR to decompress the Gapp file, I don't get a .zip file -- only a couple of directories. On the other hand, when I rename the Gapp file update.zip and try to flash it it doesn't work.

Again, thanks for the reply.

Anyone else with suggestions!!!????

Rev
[G Tablet General] MSU_Sparty:
Thanks. What you've written really does clarify the previous post. I appreciate it.

But let me ask another naive question. Why don't the developers create their update programs so they can be installed by just downloading them OTA like most applications? That would sure make it easier for neophytes. I'm guessing that the reason is because we aren't really adding an application but replacing the OS.

I greatly appreciate your guidance and that of all of the folks who use this forum.

Happy Holidays!

I know there was a topic started on this data issue, but nobody seemed to respond, so I decided to start a new one in hope of some light being shed on this matter.

It has been like 5 days already, and my phone feels like my hd2 with ppp issues. I have hard resetted the phone and no luck. I have called T-Mobile and there has been a couple tickets open in my area with the same issue. All my coworkers have the same issue so I know its not the phone, yet T-Mobile claims nothing is wrong with their antenas or network.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esincho:
Ppp???????

i installed the latest apex rom the other day. ever since then, i'm getting double notifications for text messages. i uninstalled any of the extra messaging apps other than the main one, and its still happening. any ideas???
[Droid X General] Jdella681:
I had the same problem.. did you do a clean wipe? Titanium backuped my apps and wiped the phone.. Then restored one by one (didn't have too many apps luckily lol).. That solved my issue
[Droid X General] titos1997:
you gotta have some sort of messaging app or something like sms popup also installed
[Droid X General] truckrod:
make sure that the notifications are turned off in the stock app this is why you get two notifications

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Contrarian:
No thanks.. I ain't too keen on losing all the goodness of root access, JIT, xrecovery and customization just for a few crappy bug fixes. It would be an insult to developers who have put in all the hard work to provide us with these features.
[Nook Color General] Robman721:
I just rooted my nook color today using the auto nooter and the youtube app isn't working so I was gonna download Titanium backup and remove the app to reinstall and hopefully fix it. Now my question is can I just access the market on my nook color and download Titanium backup or do I have to do it through my comp? The same question applies to launcher pro can I just download it straight from nook?
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
You can download titanium backup from the marketplace. Haven't checked on the other.
[Nook Color General] peiziyu:
Titanium Backup definitely works from the Market. You don't need to reinstall Youtube.apk though. You can just "Wipe Data" for Youtube from Titanium Backup, and it will work again. You can't sign in to your channel though; the same problem will occur again if you do.

LauncherPro is also available through there, but not sure if it requires any modifications. There are a couple threads in the development forum about it.
[Nook Color General] t140568:
Excellent. Using Titanium Backup to "Wipe Data" worked perfectly. Thanks!
[Nook Color General] toryb*stard:
I may have just fixed YouTube on my rooted NC. I had tried to log in using my gmail account, but it seems that YouTube only wants your YouTube account username and password. I have never set up such an account, so did so, linked to my gmail account, and after wiping the data for YouTube app using Titanium as described above, I went to My Channel, accepted the terms, and then signed in using my new YouTube account username and password. Success!

wondering if the was a apk or something to get the HTC desire's lock screen on the Mesmerize?
[Samsung Mesmerize] chidesd:
could I just install this apk file or would I have to edit it?

[Samsung Mesmerize] cloudstrife7:
As that link goes to a file called "VillainROM10.2-DesireLockScreen-signed.zip" I would highly not recommend flashing that as it has the words "Desire" & "ROM" in it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Luckily the package only contains a system/app folder with HtcLockScreen.apk in it. Also, the update script contains compatibility code, so it probably won't even work. If it does, it won't do anything but copy the apk over so it shouldn't hurt anything.

This is what the update script looks like:

assert compatible_with("0.2") == "true"

assert getprop("ro.product.device") == "hero"

show_progress 0.1 0

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

show_progress 0.2 10

---EDIT--

The apk itself is also mdpi, so even if you made it work it would look like crap.
[Samsung Mesmerize] chidesd:
well i kind of got what i wanted though lock bot but I have a problem

I downloaded lock bot free and i got it set up but for some reason when my screen goes blank the first time I try tuning it on it always flashes to the mesmerize lockscreen then flashes to the lockbot screen the goes blank then when i turn the screen on the 2nd time it goes to lockbot screen and lets me unlock it then it goes to mesmerize lockscreen so I have to deal with 2 lock screens. anyone no whats up?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
You are running an app that works in conjunction with your lock screen and doesn't replace it. What you want is to either turn your stock lock screen off, which is another app, and then run this app to use your own lock screen.

I'm just theorizing here, but it looks good on paper.
[Samsung Mesmerize] chidesd:
which app would u suggest to turn off the stock lock screen? or is there a all in one?
[Samsung Mesmerize] swampthing1117:
I've had that problem with EVERY lock screen replacement i've tried on the mes. Lockbot has an option that you check to disable the stock lock screen. Doesn't matter it always comes back and double locks the phone. It seems completely random. It can work right for hours and suddenly that damn stock lock comes back for a few unlocks and then normal again.

It also seems the longer you have a lock app on there as time passes the stock screen starts coming back more and more.

I wish i could uninstall the damn stock screen completely so it wasn't there at all as there seems to be not one locking app that works on this phone correctly.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
widget locker is what I use... You can have the HTC sense lockscreen, iphone, or have your own customizable lock screen where you can set any shortcut as a sliding lockscreen. Very cool app!

It's $1.99 but well worth it IMO

http://www.appbrain.com/app/widgetlocker-lockscreen/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
But widget locker still has that problem. I tried it last week and gave up on it because no matter what it would show the normal lockscreen for about a second before widget locker would show up.

I've been using No Lock with a pattern lock enabled, I use the widget to unlock it and bypass the lockscreen completely and then if I lock it it only shows the pattern lock instead of the crappy stock lockscreen.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
That usually only happens to me on boot... If you wait a sec it goes away but yeah it would be nice if you never saw it
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
I also just installed the NoLED tweak, it's pretty much my lockscreen. Displays icons and stuff on an otherwise black screen while my phone is locked like for notifications, then pressing the back button takes you to my pattern lock and then the homescreen. I like it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] cloudstrife7:
I've also been using no lock widget and it's working great - no more lock screen for me.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] MGA2009:
Ok,

First of all I'm not a newbie (or at least that's what I think).

My Telus Milestone is looping in the MOTO logo and not starting Android.

I tried to flash it with RSD Lite (tried every asf file from Telus with vulnerable recovery!) , it successfully completes the flash but it still do not work.

Bootloader is 90.74 and Recovery IS working.

But nothing seems to bring Android back!

One weird thing... is bootloader seems to be INVULNERABLE and every time I wan't to use OpenRecovery I need to flash "vulnerable_recovery_only_RAMDLD90_78.sbf" and inmediately after the first reboot enter recovery and then OpenRecovery... ones there I have ADB and everything seems normal but STILL NO ANDROID!!

SO I CAN'T UPDATE BOOTLOADER, I tried every version of bootloader flashing it with RSD Lite v4.6 to no avail. Bootloader is still 90.74

UPDATE: IS THIS RIGHT? Installed busybox and checked the partitions...

It seems that something it's not right.

Hope you can help me.

Best Regards.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] -Az-:
Ok you said your bootloader version is 90.74 and your trying to flash vulnerable_recovery_only_RAMDLD90_78.sbf to it...

this may be your problem
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Then it's not a brick.

Try flashing an unofficial rom like CM. A full nandroid restore may also work in this case.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] MGA2009:
I will do an RDS Lite flash of "GOT_TELUS_2_2_1FULL.sbf"

And then an OpenRecovery "update" for CyanogenMOD.

Will report my results in a few minutes.

Best Regards.

UPDATE: SAME RESULTS... MOTO LOGO Loop.

I think RDS Lite is not doing his job... any possibility with FASTBOOT?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] vladstercr:
I believe that too...

Also you should try other versions of RSDlite and other operating systems (Xp 32)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] MGA2009:
I will try Windows XP 32bits...

Now I was using Windows 7 32bits... tried 2 differents computers thou.

Will report my results later.

Best Regards.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] tdnrad:
The newest Moto update has a script which reflashes the recovery if it is changed. Did you remove that file?

rm -f /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

run that in busybox or put it in a text file in your scripts directory in openrecovery and run it from there. That should at least fix the recovery problem.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] MGA2009:
Yes, I tried with that script.

I tried flashing the SBF in UBUNTU.

Still the same BOOT LOOP, althou the flash completes 100% without any error nor hicup.

I think there is

no way

to solve this problem... How is it possible... Bootloader OK, Recovery OK, even Open Recovery OK but still no way going to Android!!

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] qnguyen88:

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] MGA2009:
I tried using the SBF flash utility for Linux... that went without any error but still BOOT LOOP.

I don't think WindowsXP would make any difference... I will try it anyways.

Either through OR or manually through Fastboot?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] MGA2009:
Nope...

Did not tryed a NANDROID backup.

I do not have one, maybe someone can lend me a NANDROID backup to restore it.

But then again... An SBF reflash should restore everything.

I can enter OR so If someone gives me a NANDROID BACKUP I can try it.

Best Regards.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Caz666:
I need to REFLASH a milestone for a friend tomorrow.

I will take a nandroid right after the installation and try to upload it somewhere.

It will likely be CM6 with GAPPS and Canada bands.

Are will be using the latest Androidiani OR. I just want to make sure our Nandroids are in the same format...I believe that this is based on the latest OR (1.46?)

Once we have the nandroid, you can try the restore using nandroid. Or you can try and fastboot flash all of the partitions individually.

And yes, I know that the SBF should squash everything. But if it worked as advertised, you wouldn't really need my nandroid, right?

:)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] MGA2009:
Great! Thanks!

I will be using Androiani OR 1.46 just like you and canadian bands work for me.

I will try it with NANDROID as fastboot does not find my phone. ADB does thou.

Best Regards and looking forward to the download link.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Caz666:
I will PM you the download link in the next 2 minutes (rapidshare)

1.

I did not bother with compression or optimizing the Nandroid backup beyond zipping the folder up. This make the download a bit large.

2. I did not set Canadian bands, the phone was German, so you may need to apply them yourself. But I did flash latest CM6 and GAPPS before doing the Nandroid.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] fata55s:
I have the exact same issue as you. I can get into Bootloader 90.74 and recovery(open recovery included). Ive tried flashing many different firmwares nothing works.

Did that nandroid backup from another phone work for you? If it did could you send me the backup so i can attempt to put it on mine?

This has got me very frustrated, as flashing a sbf should do the trick but it has no effect.

Thanks

Hi everyone, I decided to finally root and flash to axura today. I saw the one click vibrant root link today and did that one successfully. I did some searching and ended up with Austiclees instructional video.

My phone is currently rooted and after downloading Axura 2.0.6. I loaded it onto my internal sd. I downloaded the newest clockwork and when i click install from sd card it seems to be working. However, the screen just goes to android system recovery and I'm stuck having to choose between reboot now or reinstall packages. I'm very frustrated right now and was wondering how to get Axura to actually install..

BTW I did not root from one click lag fix.. I hope thats not the problem.. Any help would be appreciated PLEASE!!!
[Vibrant General] ironlood:
I just flashed onyx on my vibrant like a day ago.

When you have the rom on your phone you go to rom manager install clockwork i cant remember if you need to restart... after that you click reboot into recovery ...

wait for the prompt to come up and choose to reinstall packages the phone will reboot and open another prompt (you may have to repeat this step if you didn't get into clockwork recovery just click reinstall again.)

Once you are at clockwork recovery you choose install from sdcard and navigate to your rom.

[Vibrant General] icandy75:
The way you rooted is not an issue.

Click reinstall packages that should take you into cw recovery. Sometimes you have to click twice. Once in Cw recovery scroll down to install zip from sd card, then click choose zip from sd card. After that click on your chosen rom, let it do it's thing and when it brings you back to Cw screen click reboot now. Then enjoy your new Rom.
[Vibrant General] chuckblock:
thanks guys... i figured it out... for anyone with the same problem, I just clicked reinstall packages twice; which put me into clockwork recovery. And for anyone deciding if they want to root and flash or not, let me just say axura's rom on the vibrant is undescribably wonderful. I love not having to reboot when I go to gallery, wifi problems are non existant, as for gps, I haven't tried yet but will be most likely flawless.
