Well, all new themes/roms are going to be based around this, so that could be considered an advantage, having it over and done with lol..

From what I've noticed, and it isn't much, I have found I have much better battery life, better signal/reception (I used to get a lot of failed text messages, I no longer do), my gps seems to pick up my location quicker and more accurately, etc...

Im just getting extremely frustrated with the 6 or 7 something tutorials i have gone through to get my Mytouch 3G Slide rooted and put Froyo onto it just leads to things not doing what they say they should be, or all the files needed will not download, or whatever. Im at the point of just giving up totally now and this is my last ditch effort to see if there is an actual easy and working method out there that someone can recommend. Anything?:mad:

Try z4root, it's supposed to have 100% device compatibility. Also, unrEVOked is a great method for HTC, but you have to have the adb drivers for htc with unrEVOked. (they come with the android sdk)
[General Questions and Answers] MexicanDLyte:
I used z4 root before it was taken off the market! Worked flawless!

I have been in the same boat with the froyo download!! Frustrating when all you read about is how great it is and how easy it was to download! I can even get mini_kies to complete downloading without getting a error message!

Okay so here is story, I bought copilot live usa for android a while back with email account1.

Now i dont use it and use email account2 instead. Where can I download clean apk for copilot and use my google ordernumber that i have?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] tomj777:
This http://www.alk.eu.com/copilotlive/androidinstall/ takes some hunting... Hopefully you still have your account number and keys. No idea how to do this within the marketplace mind you (email address 1 / email address 2

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] qvantis:
A big thanx for this, worked just fine moving from HD2 embeded CoPilot live 8 to Android! Even kept all my settings, including destinations as I was hoping since I use the same memory card!

Only thing to keep in mind is to deactivate your license on your "old" device first. Can also be done online at activate.alk.com. Sorry for the missing link, I'm not allowed to post links since I'm quite new here at xda.

Very pleased to have helped. It's worth revisiting the link to see if there is a new version, as us ex-wm users do not benefit from the market notifications.

3. Boot to recovery, either from manual three button method (down, up vol +power) or using something like quick boot on the market.

4. Apply update.zip.

[Continuum Android Development] kdoweb1:
OK I'm in trouble now, I odin the first file and copy the update.zip to the sc card. After I do a manual boot to the boot loader the camera button does not activate anything I can not start the update.zip or reboot. If I pull the battery and reboot it just boot back to the boot loader again. Please advice I need my phone back soon.

Thanks

Update:

if I odin the "cont_cwm_recovery_2.tar.md5" file from the other post the camera button will activate the update.zip but got some error but reboot just fine. I think the odin file made in this post is for device that has the home button on the phone and no camera button map. Still no CWM but at least the phone boots normally now.:eek:
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
Lol... Flash the original recovery that is in this post again... Then use the soft key pad (all the way to the left) to make selections... The camera button is no longer used...

[Continuum Android Development] kdoweb1:
Thank you, I'll give it a try when I get home. What is the difference between official version of ClockworkMod Recovery for Samsung Continuum rather than a custom port made by adrynalyne? From what I can gather from the read is that the official will boot directly to CWM everytime rather than having to apply the update.zip to boot it CWM? In any case I'm much more comfortable flashing ROMs and kernel now that I can do backup in CWM.

Thanks again
[Continuum Android Development] dottat:
Ok... I got this to install and I am able to apply the update and get into clockwork recovery. How do I get it only load CWR each time now instead of the factory recovery?

I keep having to use the default recovery to get into CWR...

I love the fact i am finally able to make a solid backup of this damn phone though!
[Continuum Android Development] dfgged:
The only way to get that to happen, is to apply a voodoo kernal.

Sent from my space time Continuum using the XDA App.
[Continuum Android Development] dottat:
I have the voodoo kernel installed.. didn't seem to work...

**edit.. perhaps I need to allow the lag-fix to change the partition data first.. i'll try that and report back.
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
When you reboot to recovery, how are you doing it? ROM Manager can not properly boot into CWM on voodoo kernels
[Continuum Android Development] dottat:
I tried to boot it using both volume keys. Now it's stuck in a bootloop saying something like "miscooperation"
[Continuum Android Development] dfgged:
oops, i hit the thanks button >.< oh well...

Anyway, did you do a battery pull after you activated voodoo? You had to let it convert your whole system! I don't know what else could be wrong.
[Continuum Android Development] dottat:
Yeah.. I let it convert.. it booted up fine when done. I then shut it off and tried to reboot and go into the CWR menu. It then boot looped. I was able to manually get to CWR through the stock menu and am in the process of restoring right now....
[Continuum Android Development] dfgged:
oh... Well, that's good at least.
[Continuum Android Development] dottat:
Ok.. got it to flash the voodoo kernel again and now all I get is the Cwm recovery menu. Not sure what i can do to get this thing to load an OS again.

Excellent. I got it. Now I myself am not a developer, and I know this ROM doesn't have radios, but is there a way to restore them?
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
You can restore the radio of you have the full modem.bin file using Odin or Heimdall. I don't think anyone has found a way to flash a radio as an update.zip
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
before I embark, can someone tell me what happens if I try to use ClockworkMod Recovery from the Market...and select one of the Galaxy S phones like the Fascinate when it asks for phone model?

All I want is to be able to backup this VZ Rom before I start removing garbage from it. Is that only possible by following the instructions in this thread?
[Continuum Android Development] CrazyKnight122:
Nothing will happen if you try that. I would just do what is in this thread it works great. I suggest trying out the DL17 rom after its just stock with out all the verizon crap .
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
you know, I've had a change of heart since moving to this Continuum. I had a Hero and used Cyanogenmod ROMs.....and had to live with certain things not working.

It was very refreshing using this Samsung phone out of the box. Even with 2.1, my Continuum is SUCH a better user experience than my Hero was....and it isn't just because it is a much faster phone, although that is certainly part of it.

if this DL17 ROM (which I actually havent read a thing about) can preserve all the functionality of the OEM ROM, I may change my heart again.

specifically, I love the Samsung dialer and I enjoy the ticker working as it does. I wouldn't change ROMs if I had to give either of those things up.
[Continuum Android Development] CrazyKnight122:
I hear ya there man, I had an eris before this phone which is the same thing as the hero. And compared to the continuum its garbage lol.

Im using the DL17 rom now and everything works fine for me ticker and all. But everyone has different user experiences and everyones phones are slightly different.
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
yeah, your previous post inspired me to read up....and I've already started the process of flashing the base DL17. :)

getting the invalid certificate error at the moment on this update.zip, but going to try a few things here.

and after reading up on all the work being done....I have to say, I think I'm in love with Adrynalyne!
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
JLT, what did you do differently to get update.zip to take?

I am still getting unable to verify certificate.

already ODINed the .tar file.....it was successful.....powering off phone....holding both vol buttons down while powering on...getting to recovery screen....selecting update.zip

I copied the update.zip file over to the root of my SD card twice.
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
okay, let me expand my post to anyone reading. What do I need to do to get this update.zip to take? I would really like to flash the DL17 clean ROM.

I keep getting a certificate verification error.
[Continuum Android Development] dfgged:
Have you followed my tutorial?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USHpl0s7qhk
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
Thank you for the video. I had not ODINed a .pit file...only the .tar file........so I followed the instructions in your video completely, and I still have the same problem. I cannot get update.zip to take.

However, my camera button does work as select....and my power button does not. And the soft keys do nothing when in the recovery mode.....so maybe that's a clue?

I don't know. I've flashed many a phone and many a ROM.....it has to be something simple I am missing.

I had already rooted my phone and installed ClockWorkMod Recovery from the Market.....prior to using Odin for that .tar file.

Still....certificate verification invalid

Crap!

I'm going to assume you got an error... Idk what to tell you... :-L

I had not installed flashwork recovery. Only installed rom manager from the market. But since my last post I did install flashwork recovery and I chose the fascinate, but that changed nothing. Same error regarding certificate verification
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
Did you flash anything with Odin? If not, that is your problem. Also, I would use the zip file provided with the Odin package you have to flash, not the one from ROM manager.
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
i flashed the .pit file and the .tar file with odin...and it did it successfully, but the strange lines from the youtube video after reset? my phone didnt do that.

i am using the update.zip from these threads....I did what was in the youtube video precisely....even down to the links he provided.

i dont know that it would matter but i am considering wiping my phone back to original settings and trying it all over again

hate to do that if it doesnt solve the problem
[Continuum Android Development] dfgged:
ummm... The weird lines may have just been me :-/ I forgot to flash back to a stock kernal...

Anyway,are you able to use your camera button in the recovery when it fails?
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
yeah, I've been able to use the camera button for select all along and that seems to be the only way I can select an item in recovery mode.

The power button does nothing....the soft menu key does nothing as well.
[Continuum Android Development] dfgged:
That's your problem right there. You shouldn't be able to use the camera button at all. Trying my tutorial again, but just tap around where all the soft keys are. It'll work eventually.

Sent from my space time Continuum using the XDA App.
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
I've pushed every conceivable space on my phone. if the camera button isn't supposed to work but mine does, then that has to be the clue.

I flashed a. tar file from this forum before following the YouTube tutorial. there are two Clockwork threads. is it possible I flashed an incorrect. tar file from the forum and that is why my recovery mode is different?
[Continuum Android Development] dfgged:
It's possible... trying downloading the one from this thread again. Then flash.

Do you have a webcam? I'd like to try and meet with you on tinychat to see if we can't work this out.

Sent from my space time Continuum using the XDA App.
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
wow, the webcam idea sounds kind of exciting.

I have flashed the files in this thread, but am not above doing it again.

I'm actually going to try using a different SD card and let my phone format it....I think the card I have in there I formatted from Windows to FAT32.

I'll post my findings
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
alright, so nothing I try solves the problem. I continue to get the same error every time I try to apply update.zip.

I googled the exact error message

"E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted"

I see plenty of people who have had this error message but no solution that seems to fit.

I am in 2e recovery...i've tried formatting my SD card....redownloading the update.zip file a million times. I've tried Odin 3 1.30 and 1.52...I have flashed the .pit and .tar files multiple times.

I am considering sticking a fork in my eye.

What file or process is responsible for getting me access to 2e recovery? Or more specifically, what file or process is responsible for getting me into a recovery mode where the camera button DOESN'T execute the "select" command?
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
For those who have been hanging on the edge of their seats waiting to see if my struggles ended....they haven't totally...but I have finally managed some success.

it seems to be totally a hit or miss thing...but I have been able to get into CWR, red text and all, twice....enough to do a backup of my ROM and flash the DL17 clean ROM along with the two updates (email and social)

The only way I've been able to get into CWR....is to Odin the .pit and .tar file from this thread over and over again...until for some reason after it says reset in Odin my phone resets directly into manual recovery mode. This has happened twice, and both times I had to use the soft key to apply update.zip and both times it got me into CWR.

Manual rebooting with vol up and down takes me to the original recovery mode where the camera button works and flashing update.zip doesn't.

Even doing the Odin technique, when it doesn't fail, typically just restarts my phone into Android...except for two times.

So basically, I hope I don't need to flash anymore .zip files because getting back into CWR is like playing a game of roulette.....although strangely, I've never actually done that.
[Continuum Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
i have a continuum, im quite experienced in flashing anything really to android devices, ive got clockwork running on a vibrant, my hd2, and i CANNOT get this clockwork running. i have used odin multiple times and flashed the continuum pit.pit and the correct .tar file and had identical results to the person posting above me... except ive NEVER gotten into cwm, ive flashed through odin over 12 times now with no success... camera button always initiates options in 2e recovery... im going mad!

[Continuum Android Development] sytech55:
OK, after reading the thread and downloading files, I tried the pit and tar files exactly like the youtube from DFGGED titled, "How to flash ClockWork Mod recovery for the Samsung Continuuum", and I get the same error when trying to run the update.zip file.

Now what? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Continuum Android Development] nitsuj17:
kind of a snake move..but whatever i suppose :eek:
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
Okay, I see I was not alone. The process sucked for me but I will share how I've managed success, although sporadic.

When I have installed a new ROM, the only way I can get into recovery mode where the camera button doesn't work is to do these things.

1. Install ROM Manager from the Market.

2. Run the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option within ROM Manager and select Samsung Fascinate.

3. Here is where it is tricky and hard to predict. From ROM Manager I select Reboot Into Recovery. Mind you, this doesn't take you into the proper recovery mode.

4. Upon my phone's rebooting, before it tries and fails to enter recovery mode, I pull the battery, and use the VOL-DOWN+POWER method to power it into USB Downloader mode.

5. I use the instructions we've all done, ad nauseam, with ODIN, flashing the .pit and .tar files.

6. When ODIN reboots my phone it will either reboot it INTO the correct recovery mode where it works just as you see in the YouTube video tutorial.....OR it will just reboot into Android with the Samsung and Verizon animations.

7. If I notice those animations, I pull the battery, and retry steps 4-6.

8. If I CONTINUE to fail with these steps, I will power off my phone and use the VOL-UP and VOL-DOWN + POWER method to manually enter recovery mode (even thought it will be the wrong recovery mode). Once it is at the recovery screen with all the blue options, I will pull the battery and repeat steps 4-6.

This will eventually work.....and once it has done it successfuly once, I can get into the proper recovery mode from that point forward until I wipe my phone completely or backup or restore a ROM.

I'm sorry for the lack of certainty in these steps, but I've done this a lot of times now, and I've reset and restored from backups several times to where these steps have needed to be done again.
[Continuum Android Development] sytech55:
OK, who wants to try it first?

Spearoid, I appreciate all the info you've gathered and I'm hoping I can get it to work. I'm by no means fluent in android. Just got my phone in January and it seems I'm way over my head.

What are you using to backup your phone?

I'd like a good backup before I proceed.
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
The process I described is necessary TO back up your phone properly. While there are always risks inherent to flashing phones, there is always that initial "risk" required to gain access to more features. Just like the rooting process is, in it of itself, a risk, if you follow those instructions you should be fine. If you follow the instructions in the Youtube tutorial posted in this thread, you should be fine too.

The problem for me was, those instructions were inadequate, at least in my case. They were still necessary, but I had to do that and more to get the proper recovery mode initialized. Now that it is established properly on my phone, I can use that recovery mode (Vol-up + Vol-down + Power) to backup and restore my phone all I want now.

I don't know of a way to do a full backup without first altering the recovery mode of your phone. The steps in my last post and the Youtube video instructions were enough to alter my phone's recovery mode properly.

Good luck!
