[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepumalik:
I am Facing Similar problem...

i wanted to install new rom on my phone ...i.e. darky's v 8.0

so i rooted my phone with z4root, then downloaded the rom and the update.zip file for clockward mod on to internal sd card..

and when tried to run update.zip file in normal recovery mode to get into clockward recovery i got the same signature error

i looked for solutions..got to know about rom manager..downloaded it and installed clockward mod through it..and then tried to reboot into clockward recovery ...it will bring me to same normal recovery screen...so basically stuck and cant get to clockward recovery...please help

my phone details

model gt-i9000

firmware:2.2

baseband : i9000zsjpe
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidsl:
How about

1. Repartition with a 512 pit from odin.

2. Flash Stock JM8 or JM9 (Usually i am flashing JM8 when things get messed)

3. Use update zip and install clockworkmod from it . (you will not have any signature errors because now you have recovery 2e)

4. Sometimes you will have to apply sd card update twice to get to CWM.

5. Vola, now you have working clockworkmod recovery and you can flash whatever the things you want with it :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
horrible suggestion you both need to search b4 posting.. been posted multiple at least 20 times now.. you DONT need to go install a new rom and blow everything away on your phone just to get 2e recovery so clockwork works.. search search.. there are kernels out there you can flash to get back 2e recovery
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidsl:
Oh yeah. forgot to mention it. there is a post that have a kernel which gives you recovery 2e on JPY firmware. (Don't know other firmwares has it or not)

Anyway, in my case i like to blow everything and start all over when i got messed up. because i don't use my sgs for very precious works. i'm just playing with it ;)

Kudos to the lgkahn for bringing this kernel thing up :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
Okay..seems like this thread is getting nowhere..

Go to the android development section and look for hardcore's speedmod kernel. Download the latest version and flash it via Odin.

Btw, let me give you a tip once you are in hardcore's thread. PLEASE READ THE FIRST 3-4 POSTS AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS.

I don't think you are exerting enough effort to research here in the forum so I just gave you one of the simplest and shortest step to have CWM directly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myleb:
is it OK to use Stericssion autosin.bat to sign the update.zip downloaded by CWM and then flash it using recovery 3e? We will not have to flash the CF Kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] striken:
I don't know that app. have you test it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazmon:
cf root and cwm

Hi,

so if i currently have jpy and the latest speedmod kernel with all the tweaks and ext 4 enabled, have i got overwrite the speedmod kernel this with cf root just to get 2e?

and then reflash speedmod and start again

P.S i have noticed if you have CWM installed and you cannot access CWM recovery mod via `reboot to recovery in rom manager`(i cant do this for some reason it work work) i have been able to access via power off and 3 button recovery method, brings me straight to CWM Recovery

I've signed my update.zip with that tool, but it didn't work for me ...

recovery: 3e
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehtoeh:
Installing hardcores latest speedmod kernel got me recovery 2e without downgrading to eclair 2.1 etc. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrFredPhD:
That's for signing applications, only samsung can sign a ROM update. As has been said many times before you can EITHER use CF-Root to get 2e recovery and then flash CWM through Rom manager OR flash a kernel which has CWM built in eg. hardcore's speedmod.

They need to be flashed through Odin, detailed instructions are in the respective threads.

[Desire General] andreigherghe:
Hello there!

First i want to apologize if i make any mistakes, i have had a Desire for 5 days, and i'm new to XDA.

So, the problem:

I followed the instructions here, no errors in terminal. BTW i'm new to Android, but i have 3 years experience with bash & stuff :)

The Desire rebooted in HBOOT, i pressed Volume UP to start the flashing, but:

[1] BOOTLOADER - OK

[2] RADIO_V2 - Fail-PU

[3] RADIO_CUST - OK

[4] BOOT - OK

[5] RECOVERY - OK

[6] SYSTEM - OK

[7] USERDATA - OK

[8] SPLASH1 - OK

Partition update fail!

And now i'm stuck with the HTC boot screen

Details:

OS: Snow Leopard on a MacBook Air

Device:

HBOOT 0.93

S-ON

Can enter in Fastboot/HBOOT/Stock Android Recovery (Android System Recovery 2e)

Never rooted before

SLCD Version

It had Stock Froyo 2.2

Branded on Vodafone Romania

Thank you guys, and i'm sorry if for you this looks a stupid question, but i can't make it to work!
[Desire General] andreigherghe:
Hehe, nevermind :)

Fixed it using RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe

Since yesterday, he deleted some apps from his market.

I'm the developer of iron soldiers, I had been notified yesterday by another xda forum user that he stole my app.

I emailed him and within 3 or 4 hours he removed the app.

He answered me that he is so sorry, that he shares his key with other people and he didn't know... blabla.

Anyway, he has many stolen apps so he is hard to believe.

Now I see that thanaos2042 created a new thread (thanks :)) and that google already referenced it :

I wish the app store was monitored as much as the Apple App store is. People like this get thrown out within a week on the Apple App Store. Example, there was this company making apps almost identical to that of other apps and had a program go and rate theirs 5 star hundreds of times so that way when people see the two apps they would purchase this companies. They got hammered quick.
[Android Apps and Games] xen0blade:
Damn

I'm not a dev, but I'd like to make a point. I have plenty of friends with Android phones, and most of them were not even aware this was happening until I said something. Let's get the word out. Not just to devs, but to the consumers. They (we?) are also victims of getting ****ed by people like this Chris Burtchett or whatever. I'll post a message about it on Facebook. You are the devs, and between the devs and the consumers this can be stopped (or at least slowed WAY down).

The android market place is full of applications that break other peoples copyright and the like. Google obviously don't care all they want to do is up the amount of apps so they can compete with the chewed fruits app store

Am I mistaken or did they disappear from the market? :D
[Android Apps and Games] Northern.dj:
As mentioned before i'm not a developer but i am curios as to how this person gets away with it, Plus how did he find out how to do it.

Also why are there not the same rules for apps as they are for Computer software it has to be registered and you also hold the copy wright for this.

Just a idea tho could XDA help here by Approving a app and if it did not say Approved by XDA to do this XDA would be the agent or software house, XDA has allot of clout with people even google, and i think if they were approached by XDA i am sure they will help on this.

This person wants stopping he is hurting the Android Market
[Android Apps and Games] papazche:
This is really not nice to do. They should all go to jail
[Android Apps and Games] weeto:
I am not a programmer and will never have an app in the market but here is my outsider view of this issue:

This is a new area for both the Market provider and the indie developer. You can approach Google (or any other company that provides a similar service) from an irate "You guys have to fix this" angle, but you have to be prepared to not like the solution they come up with. If the corporate solution is driven mostly from a fear of being sued the easiest route for them will be to close the direct access they provide the developer to the customer.

My recommendation would be to approach Google as what they are, a business partner to the collective group of programmers. Become partners in the solution. It is the best way to make sure your interests are protected.

Can you guys organize and submit your code before it is published online for testing. I am not verbalizing this part well. A voluntary, community regulated database where you guys can "register" your code before it is put out online for testing... which can then be used as evidence of ownership should it be needed downstream, but also could be used the way english teachers can run a paragraph from a student's paper to see if it is plagarized or purchased.

Combined with a stamp of approval that can be voluntarily added to a program to let buyers that care know it is the real deal. Offer to help Google, or whomever, with the screening process of new apps. A built in safety net for both sides, they won't be selling pirated material (and their lawyers will like the appearance of preventive acts) and you guys know the code better than anyone. Set it up that a redflag thrown by the community police gets the app pulled for eval immediately, versus the normal content flags the general user can send.

And you guys have to be realistic about the nature of the beast. There will always be thiefs, many buyers don't care who wrote it, no policy in the world is change that. Making that the standard for whether you ever publish again, or whether your corporate distributor is doing enough, that will just set you both up for failure. It is easy to lose focus of the 100's of purchases you could have had, while microfocusing on one idiot who has made $50 off your labors

Be pissed off on the forums, in your email, and rant like a lunatic about it at home. Present yourselves as the professional counterparts to Google's distribution center.

PS- before taking my advise keep in mind installing a theme on my phone, stock rom, no registry edits, just installing the themes has resulted in a screen of death three times now. Take my opinion for what it is worth... LOL
[Android Apps and Games] bobloblawsum:
The Apple store was a bit like that in the beginning. Until they started making so much revenue from it, then they cracked down on the quality. I read somewhere that apple bring in near $2billion revenue just from the store.

With the massive increase in android devices in the last year at least, we can expect to see an exponential increase in quality and innovation by google. At the moment, the android market just doesn't cut it.
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
No android market will not be like apple.

The 1 thing Android advertises and catches everyone's attention is the fact that "the market has everything"

everything meaning even things that WILL root, and porn and ****.

Google already has a rep. for that, and i'm hoping they don't change that.

They should be more strict than they are now though.
[Android Apps and Games] knightnz:
If you can find contact details then you could put a "If you paid for this app, then contact this person and ask why" message into the app.

Has anyone ever managed to get a reply from anyone at Google about _anything_?

I've _tried_ to find apps by this guy on the market and I've turned up nothing on either the US, Australian or NZ markets. Either I'm just looking for the wrong thing or someone has ripped his stuff off there.
[Android Apps and Games] rogershroed1991:
Nope. I get better customer service from Apple, and Apple's customer service is horrible. Half the time with Google you can't even find the link to contact them.

As far as the people asking about legal issues, you don't have to register a copyright for something to be protected. As soon as you post it on this forum as your original work, you own it. The reason this guy can steal your work so easily and not get in trouble is (a) he probably lives in a different country, so you can't sue him, and (b) you probably don't have enough money to sue him.

The best course of action would be to hire a lawyer to create a C&D for you and keep it on file. If you see someone stealing your apps, send it to him. Usually just the threat of legal action can stop someone from doing something, because if the guy has stolen 100 apps and 1 developer tells him to remove your app, he can easily remove it and still have 99 stolen apps so it's in his best interest to do it.

It looks like his site has been taken down though so maybe he has been getting in trouble lately. You can also try contacting everyone associated with him, such as the hosting provider for his website - I can tell you from personal experience that hosts will shut sites down really quickly if there's even a suspicion of something remotely shady going on.
[Android Apps and Games] SonicDesign:
well another reason NOTHING can really be done regardless of them living in the USA or another country is ANYTHING considered "open source" like android apps they can take and modify/ or not modify and say it is their own work and charge for it, UNLESS you have a copy right on it, thats the only way, and even if they live in another country if you have a copy right on it there is world wide copy right laws, so they can get IE: sued, face jail time, etc....
[Android Apps and Games] Skye Menjou:
If you use the right license in your source code you can prohibit selling.
[Android Apps and Games] Ubermicro13:
Most of the victimized developers had used a proper license to prevent that. But these Jerks just stole it. They didn't care if it was licensed, copyrighted or anything. Just wanted to make a quick buck.
[Android Apps and Games] burtcom:
In the US, and no doubt other countries, when you create something, you automatically own the copyright on it. Of course, it is up to you to defend that copyright.

Also, Android may be open source, but that does not mean that programs that run under Android are also open source.
[Android Apps and Games] thedjinni:
Still here?

Is "Chris Burchett" the guy who steals apps?

There are still ~ 20 apps on the market with that name, (although it could be someone other unfortunate dude with the same name).

The website listed for that developer on the app market is offline though, as are some of the other websites I've seen listed as his in this forum, so maybe some people with a little "don't fk with me" knowhow are taking matters into their own hands?

Anyhow, thanks for the advice on implementing an in-code check as well as releasing on the market as a development app *before* posting the apk on xda-developers.

protect yourself, because it doesn't seem like google will.

I have a question :

I have already publish an app, and if I send my .apk to someone for testing, could they "steal" the app ?
[Android Apps and Games] scary alien:
Simon,

I don't believe so...at least not "steal" as in re-publish to the Android Market the same app under another name as discussed in the first post. If you've got your app already published to the Market, even in "draft" mode, then you should be protected from someone else re-publishing.

I suppose they could try to publish your app on another 3rd party market site (sigh). You could try building in some self-protection like I described in my last post:

Post #175 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11310250&postcount=175)

That way, if the app was repackaged, it would be able to recognize that it had been tampered with and display a warning / information message to the user.

Hope this helps. Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] FireFly:
Well... But in the apk file, are the sources files (.java) readable ?
