Hello there.
i have a nexus one from vodaphone and im sure you all know (ive only just found out) that the ROM on these devices has a problem installing updates to android and does not recieve OTA updates. i believe this is to do with vodaphone actually releasing these?
any who, i used the superoneclick Root application, worked like a charm.
so then i procede to download gingerbread rom but it does teh whole E: verification error.
so i search the internet a little and come across a post with a person with teh same problem, Fantastic i thought! i follow the steops but am cut at my first hurdle as it says i need to revert from teh Vodaphoen Rom to teh original google shipping rom, the problem is that i cant seem to download it, it never works and i dont know why the D/l is incredibly slow and sometimes never connects. this is from Shipped-roms.com
if any1 could assist me in reverting to the original shipping rom i can do teh rest and update to 2.3.3
Thanks for reading.

Root your phone, then install rom manager recovery. With this, you will be able to flash any rom you want.

The OTA won't update automatically, you have to manually flash it. OTA will auto-update only from official version and authorized version. Anyway, why don't you flash CM7 RC4?
Hi everyone, this is my first post and I recently bought my first Android device (yes, yes, I'm a 100% noob). BTW, I also did the search (google and xda) for this problem, without results.
This is the story:
- I few weeks ago I bought my new Samsung Galaxy Tab wifi (p1010), with Android 2.2 Froyo, and it is not rooted or flashed with some rom.
- Search on the market for an official version of Skype, but no, at this time there was no one.
- Then, I find one on getjar, works ok, but only audio.
- A few days ago I uninstalled the getjar version an install another one, version 2.0.0.45-signed, from villanrom, announced with video support, but at the moment of accepted a video-call the application always fails and closed.
- After that, I uninstalled it, and wait for a new and better one.
- Here is the problem: I have tried with another versions (villanrom 2.0.0.47sig, xda-Froyo-droidrx, the first one from getjar, and others, even the "official one" 2.0.0.47 from the market) but always I got the same error "Out of space: Skype could not be installed. Free up space and try again"
- I can instal other apps (apk and market) without any problem.
- My Summary is: Program 438MB/1.87GB, Personal data 10.00MB/69.77MB, Internal memory 4.38GB/12.74GB", with NO External SD card.
Please, I need some help to resolve this problem, before doing anything drastic, like an hard-reset
Best regards and thanks

You can try to run Titanium Backup, to see whether there still is some kind of skype installation on your tablet. If Titanium Backup can find something, then try to uninstall/wipe data/force remove app (all in Titanium Backup).
Another thing u could try is to use Root Explorer, and browse to data/app/ and see if there is still some skype in there (com.skype.raider-1.apk?). If there is, delete it. Also go to data/data/ and see if there is still something from skype there (perhaps com.skype.raider?). If there is, delete it.
Finally you could try to clear your dalvik cache. Usually that's done in clockworkmod, but as I'm not sure if you have that on your tablet, check here.
If none of that helps, I would backup some important stuff and then do a factory reset. Or better yet, put a nice new rom on there (either official or unofficial, no idea what's out there for the galaxy tab). At least go to gingerbread (android 2.3.x), or honeycomb (android 3.x) if that's available for your tab.
good luck!
PS; as for skype, i would recommend to use droidrx's mod. He's making great progress and most likely very soon there will be some kind of "final" and bug-free version.
Many many thanks.
My tab it´s not rooted yet (I think if I do that then lose guaranty)... I will try to do a factory reset or firmware update first... Only if that fail, then I will apply the root solution... BTW, wich one it is the better method/app for root a g-tab (with the un-root option included)??
Best regards

Just did a 5 minute research, and apparently for some people there is already an official gingerbread update available. I would rather do that then a factory reset at this point. Gingerbread is a much better version of android than you have at the moment.
Rooting your galaxy tab is dead easy apparently, read here.
If you're thinking about installing a custom rom, see the Galaxy tab android development section.
Yep, but the update it's not available for everyone... I got installed the lastest version of Kies (2.0.1.11053_99), and it's shows "Current fw version = Latest = PDA:KB4 / CSC:KB4 (CHO)".. May be because my country (Chile).
SuperOnceClick looks fine, but with this issue
Note:
I have tried unrooting the device and rooting it again and this is not working. so this is to let you know that you will have to reflash the firmware to root the device if you unroot it again using this software and try to root until some one finds a solution

Thanks again, I hope that's Gingerbread will be available soon for me.

Yea, that means that you can still get your tablet back to the factory state (including root), in case you wanna bring it back for warranty. Which is probably never going to happen anyway.
So my advice would be just to flash a gingerbread 2.3.4 rom, as i've noticed you don't even need to have root to do this. Who knows how long chile will wait with distributing a new android version?
no te preocupes!
EDIT: just be careful with one thing, i've noticed not all customs roms will work on your tablet since you have a wifi only tablet. keep that in mind when looking for a rom and make sure that the rom will be compatible.
Apparently I'm not the only one with this specific problem... It's look like some bad install/uninstall process with the "VillainRom" version on the GTab.
Google search:
villainrom Skype with Video Support for Various Devices... #55
(Sorry, but the system says that I'm too noob to publish external links.. )
Sadly, they have not released a solution yet
Best regards

OK, I´m not the first one with this specific problem, but some says even with root they can´t delete skype directory from system.
Jerome
Solution:
Run terminal and type:
"rm_-R_/data/data/ com.skype.raider" _ = space
i failed the oparation a few times until i got it..
After that i'v downloaded Skype again, but this time it installed successfully,
Im very disappointed with Skype team failing to fix the problem and having there paying customers to Root there devices !
Jerome,
I guess you are in the same boat i am.
I went to Chile in June and bought a P1010 at Falabella store. My FW is the same as yours and there's no ROM to upgrade (official or custom).
There's no development for it here. Also the video skype is for the GB not froyo.
The only tweaks i could do was the root (z4root) and the OCLF.
Sorry for this bad news... But at least i loved to visit your country. The Piscosawer, the "CONGRO" fish and the "Cafe con Piernas" 8))

Hello all
I have been having problems with my lg gt540. Recently minecraft pocket edition was released on android market, I really wanted it but much to my dismay it wasnt on my market (it was on a friend phone HTC desire HD running android 2.3.2). So i decided to put cm7 on my phone to get it to 2.3.2 (it was already 2.1). I did that, installed the market fine everything was good. However i went onto the market and it wasnt there still, went onto the web version signed in and it said incompatible firmware (yet i was on 2.3.2). I downloaded an .apk version of the internet tried to install it only to get "application not installed". so i then installed alogcat to see what was going wrong:
"E/packagemanager(1274): package com.mojang.minecraftpe requires unavailable feature android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch: failing!"
Will some one please help me to get a way round this.
Thanks

Read what it says: android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch. Your device doesn't support this, so it Android won't allow it to be installed.

I've recently bought a LG Optimus Black aka P-970, rooted and themed the hell out of it. For rooting, i used GingerBreak. However, yesterday i tried to install a rather complex UOT Kitchen theme file, and got my phone stuck in a bootloop. Since LG cleverly enough don't offer a way to boot into recovery mode, i had no other option than to run the LG Recovery software from my computer to restore the default settings.
Now, after that procedure, all stock apps are back, but none of the 3rd party apps was gone either. However, the root access was gone, and if i try to run GingerBreak now, it apparently starts doing its thing, but nothing happens. If i let it go until the screen turns off, and then unlock it again, GingerBreak is closed as if it was never started.
I don't know why, but i suspect that there is some cache somewhere which ruins my funday. I did uninstall GingerBreak and Superuser, then reinstalled GingerBreak, but nothing changed...
Similar for me. Any advice?
Not yet. I found out that the reason was because the update process upgraded to V10E, and that version is not supported by GingerBreak. I know it is possible to root it, i've seen guides, but i haven't tried much yet. V20R is supposed to be released today with GingerBread for EU users with V10E, so i don't put any effort to it atm...
I have a Samsung Captivate that I had to downgrade from the official Gingerbread back to Froyo due to freezing and rebooting issues. (Downgrade was done by AT&T at one of their Service Centers.) Since Froyo, unlike Gingerbread, doesn't allow non-Market apps to be installed, I rooted the Cappy, using the latest version of SuperOneClick. After rooting, I went into the Market to reinstall some apps, but when I click the Install button, it just turns gray and nothing happens. I tried installing from the online Android Market (from my computer) and my phone just stayed on downloading.
I've also noticed that the Market on my phone is an older version (version 2.12). For some reason it's not auto-updating the way it should. I read in the Market Help section to go to the main Market page, then hit the home key, and the Market should update to the latest version in a few minutes. Not happening. I have my phone both wi-fi and 3g-enabled.
