I'm not a developer or someone who understand what he is doing :D

nore do i speak flawless English, so u'll have to excuse me

But i was trying to get my GPS configuration working on Android

So i googled here and there and this is what i'v got:

On my NAND Android after initial flash, configuration where set to US

And i'm from Israel so it took me ages to get a GPS lock.

So thats what i did:

use adb to pull gps.conf from /system/etc and change it according to your country

adb pull /system/etc/gps.conf

you can find full list here

If you are from Israel you can use the file i'v attached

and just use this line to push it back

adb push gps.conf/system/etc

it shouled look like that:

server 0.asia.pool.ntp.org
server 1.asia.pool.ntp.org
server 2.asia.pool.ntp.org
server 3.asia.pool.ntp.org
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276

Good Luck :)

Will that file work for all devices, android versions and roms?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
Going to the NTP Server Pool site this is what they recommend for Israel to do and add in the gps.conf file as one of the primary servers:

il.pool.ntp.org

NTP also recommends using these and NOT the Europe server files:

server 0.asia.pool.ntp.org

server 1.asia.pool.ntp.org

server 2.asia.pool.ntp.org

server 3.asia.pool.ntp.org

Hope this give you all in Israel a faster lock.

Sorry, could you tell me how to edit gps.conf file?

I need to edit it to Spain GPS, but I dont know how to open and edit it.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
There is a text editor (free) in Android market called 'Ted' text editor. Install that. Then, using Root Explorer, navigate to your gps.conf file (system/etc). Then long-press on the gps.conf and in the pop-up list that appears, choose 'Open in Text Editor'. Don't forget to save your changes when you're finished (before exiting the gps.conf/text editor) by pressing the menu button and choosing 'Save Changes'. Your old gps.conf will automatically be backed up and saved as gps.conf.bak in the same location. If you don't have Root Explorer, try a couple different file managers from the Market until you find one that allows R/W access to root/system files. But Root Explorer is well worth buying, this won't be the only time you use it :cool:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
Another way to edit for free is Google for DroidExplorer and install it onto your computer. That way you can use your computer to edit the gps.conf file and save it if you want. I have saved my highly customized gps.conf file for my area. This way whenever I update or change my ROM, I insert my custom gps.conf file into the ROM before loading it.

Not working for me in either Opera or Dolphin. I'm pretty sure this is the same Flash for 2.1 version that was tried by many immediately after development began, to no avail... I'd love to be proven wrong though.

I've read that there was a flash app for 2.0 & 2.1 that provided a subset of complete flash functionality in that it would let you go to sites that used flash for menus and things which would work, but no video/games.

I never kept track of it, as I wasn't interested at the time though...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mavu:
Hi there,

i was trying to flash my samsung galaxy s and put darky's on it but for some reason i can't.

The recovery screen that pops op says recovery 3e (and every tutorial i found said 2e),

i try to "apply sdcard:update.zip

(i downloaded the update file from the darky roms thread)

and i get the error: failed to verify whole-file signature

signature verification failed, installation aborted.

i've got a samsung galaxy I9000XWJPA.

I've flashed the phone using z4root.

Then i've checked with terminal emulator that it's rooted.

I think that there's a problem with clockwork, or that i just didn't install that correctly, so i'm kinda stuck at the moment :s

could someone please help me?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldflid:
First of all you should get the busybox file and flash it. Then copy the update.zip into the internal sd card and copy the darky rom too.

Before doing this i would restore it to factory settings. Dont root it with z4root, the busybox roots it and it allows you to open the update.zip

Try what i said and it should work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amro90:
You are on Android 2.2 which has the 3e recovery. 3e recovery doesn't allow using unsigned .zip files. You should first downgrade your recovery to 2e by flashing CF-root. After you downgrade your recovery, you'll be able to use any update.zip file.

You can find CF-root in this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108

Since you have XWJPA, you should download the JPA version from the second post. Instructions are in the first post.

Make sure you have 3-button recovery and download modes working before flashing.

hmm, i've followed all the steps, downloaded odin, and the CF-Root-XW_XEE_JPA-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1.tar file, but the download screen only says "downloading, do not turn off target!!!

is there any particular setting or where to place the .tar file?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldflid:
Ok.

First of all disconnect the galaxy from the pc. Close odin. Open Odin, put in PDA CF-Root-XW_XEE_JPA-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1.tar

Then shut down the galaxy. Reboot it again to download mode. Connect it via usb and then click start. Make sure re-partition isn't checked.

That's it. When setting up odin you can't have the galaxy connected to he computer. If something fails on download mode, you must always restart the download mode or it'll be stuck.

Good luck

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldflid:

Mine recognizes it as COM4.

This may be simple, but restart your computer and phone and see if it works.

hi mate i had exactly the same problems as you and it done my head in for about a day and a half but then someone gave me this advice and it worked a treat,

go to market

download sgs kernel

once done flash speedmod kernel using the app

re start phone

once done download darkys rom

reboot to download mode (should now have 2e)

flash zip

choose zip

find darkys

click yes instal darkys

job done

one thing i must point out in 2e is the back button on your phone is now the select button and the menu button on the bottom left is now your back button

hope this helps as it did for me

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg2:
For the record, people do NOT have to flash Darkys or any other custom ROM to get 2e. Simply flashing a kernel that has Clockwork Recovery included will do the trick. Your reco to flash SpeedMod would have solved the problem without having to go further.

Hello ,

I have a similar problem with my Galaxy S I9000 .

I've updated it via KIES to the latest Froyo ( 2.2 as it shows my phone ) .

Next , I tried to install the voodoo lagfix .

I downloaded the .zip file and renamed it to "update.zip" .

Then I copied it to my phone's sd card ( I connect to PC via usb and copied in the 'Phone' folder ) .

Next , I used the 3 buttons ( Volume UP + middle button + turn off button ) and it got into Recovery mode .

I selected the 'update.zip' file and accesed it , but it says :

"E: signature verification failed, installation aborted."

I have to downgrade to 2E first ?

Hey guys,

I've got the latest update OTA ready to install, but since my device is rooted I'm wondering what do I do?

I've read threads stating to just update and re root it and others say it won't go through and I'd have to disable signatures in clockwork recovery !

hence I'm confused, please help

Cheers

[Desire General] mercianary:
Its not safe to perform official ota updates on rooted devices.

Most of the time nothing happens, you just lose root. But anything could happen from losing your custom recovery to a non booting device, which is known to happen.

If you want updated software on your phone install a custom rom.
[Desire General] Tazzzz:
same situation, my question is can i apply this RUU from PC, and what will happen exactly? Lose root, data?

i found this RUU RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed
[Desire General] mikep99:
you can apply that RUU but you will lose root and all of your data so back everything up beforehand.

you may also need a Goldcard depending on whether your phone was unbranded from new or not.
[Desire General] Tazzzz:
I know about the Goldcard. Any idea on how to do a backup, i have read about using Titanium but i found it confusing. Little help would be useful :)
[Desire General] mikep99:
yeah, just use Titanium and back up all user apps as a batch process.

Backuo/Restore at the top of the initial screen.

Menu button and choose Batch

Then Backup all user apps.

you can then restore them after you've flashed the RUU.

also, make sure your contacts are backed up (probably by Google / Gmail).
[Desire General] Tazzzz:
OK, but there is an option all apps and data. what is data? is it app data?
[Desire General] mikep99:
Just back up user apps.

You don't want to restore any system data as you are changing roms.

Also, make sure you do a nand backup to go back to if needed.
[Desire General] Tazzzz:
Did it just now, went fine. Thanks for the help
[Desire General] pt0x:
So there is still no way to just update by update.zip?

I dont want to reflash my whole phone, I got everything backed up propper

but I find it crap because its just a very small update.
[Desire General] mikep99:
Just ignore the update then, if your phone is working fine :)
[Desire General] kasalamite:
hmm an official update from htc, great. but if you are rooted and have tried a custom rom or even many such as me, then you dont want to loose that ability to flash great custom roms, just because htc released an update.

i am not sure, but i think that some users just unrevoked (rooted) their devices, but havent installed any custom roms and dont have the joy of it. i never want go to back to original rom. my future updates would be out of a custom rom. great forum here, love it
[Desire General] pt0x:
I just use the stock rom because i'm happy with it.

I rooted my phone because some apps wont work without it. I would try a custom rom but I still remember my HD2 and all the reconfigging I had to do.

Can you flash custom roms without reconfiguring everything?

Like.. when I flashed the last update.zip (405.2) I just installed it and I could start using my phone right away after the update. thats how I like it, but im not sure (more unsure) that this will work the same when I use a custom rom right?
[Desire General] jackie_jagger:
so you installed the latest update.zip on a rooted device? and did not loose your root functionality?

I'm willing to reroot my phone, I just wanna know if a rooted device when update could mess up !?

I wanna try custom ROMs sadly I can't due to the rebooting issue, will be sending in for repair soon this week !
[Desire General] mercianary:
Rooting your device voids your warranty just as much as flashing a custom rom would. Either way would have to use the stock ruu before you send if back so it makes no difference if your stock rooted or have a custom rom.
[Epic 4G General] fetalp:
Alright I tried searching for this but keep finding only WIFI issues. First of all my wife has the Epic as well, she connects to 4G just fine, as for me I did as well but after I flashed midNIGHTS 2.4 rom I cannot get my 4G to connect, instead it hangs at obtaining ip address then disconnects and tries again. If anyone has any solutions that would be great. :D
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Have you tried using a static ip?
[Epic 4G General] fetalp:
Well not sure how to go about doing that. My WIFI connects just fine its the 4G thats not connecting.

[Epic 4G General] Protoroll:
If you're having the same problem I had then your 4G radio is shot. It is known but very limited problem on the epic and their is no fix for it. Go to the sprint store and they'll replace it.
[Epic 4G General] fetalp:
Damn well I hope thats not true, that means I'll have to Odin back to stock 2.1 which honestly I hate doing. It's always a hold your breathe thing to make sure it flashes correctly for me. Anyways this really sucks though, but the fact that its trying to obtain an ip makes you believe that its shot?
[Epic 4G General] Protoroll:
Try to turn 4G from the settings menu and tell me if it says unknown.
[Epic 4G General] fetalp:
No I click Turn On, it goes to connecting then hangs at obtaining IP address...30 seconds or so Disconnected. And then flashes scanning for a split second and show Disconnected
[Epic 4G General] Protoroll:
Okay your 4g radio is working, but its weird that it won't connect. Flash it back to stock and see what happens. If it still doesn't work, your local sprint awaits.
[Epic 4G General] fetalp:
Thats what I don't want to have to do :mad: But if that fixes it then I must.

I just hate the process of going back to stock then root then ext4 then rom then test it out again. BOOO this is gonna be a long night/day
[Epic 4G General] fetalp:
Alright before I start the long process, would reflashing the modem for dk28 help at all?
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Oh I read it as a wifi issue..sorry..yeah I had the same thing where wimax wouldn't connect..had to flash back to DI18 to get it working :/

Well I Odin'd back to stock DI18 and still same issue bit since I'm back to stock 2.1 I guess ill head to sprint store.

A soft reset is just power cycling the phone. Are you taking about a factory reset?

Usually you have to go to settings, privacy, and then select factory reset from there. You will lose any apps not backed up, numbers should be fine because they sync to gmail, media will be on your SD card

My understanding from reading on these forums, its safer (and accomplishes the same) to power the phone off, then pull the battery. Or turn off fast boot and turn off/on the phone. The problem with fast boot on, is that powering off the phone is not a try power off, but just a deeper sleep mode. A "real" reboot is needed for some changes to take effect.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
just pull the battery lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] Xerott:
From my understanding a soft reset is power cycling the phone. IE power off->power on (or with cyanogenmod selecting reset when holding the power button). A hard reset is a battery pull.

At least that's how it was back in my Blackberry days before my G1.
