[Q] **Stuck** Can anyone help with this problem?

I was running Paragon4 about a week or so, saw the update and then flashed
Paragon5 over it. The flash was successful, but I decided a few hours later
to just start over clean. So, I did the usual: flashed back to stock
(I897UCJF6) using Odin3 One-click Downloader, rooted using Galaxy S One-click
Root, downloaded ROM Manager from Market, installed it, and copied paragon-
rc5beta18.zip to /sdcard. All seemed ok up to this point, but then it got
weird when something that never happened before...happened . Here's the steps I took:
1) installed ROM Manager
2) selected Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
3) selected Galaxy S Captivate
4) "An error occured while downloading your recovery"
5) selected Galaxy S i9000
6) "Successfully downloaded ClockworkMod recovery"
selected Install ROM from SD Card
7) Chose ROM
8) Checked Wipe Data & Cache
9) Rebooted into Recovery
10) Selected Reinstall packetage
11) "E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted"
12) Selected Reboot System Now
After going over the above several times, here's some of the other things
I've tried:
* deleted the update.zip file in /sdcard and manually transfered an old copy
of update.zip I had kept and tried reinstall packetage... nothing
* went thru process without sim and external sd in device...nothing
* reformated internal sd...nothing
* tried to restore a recently made nandroid backup thru cwm...nothing
* searched forum post after post for somthing similar to my
situation...nothing
* gave cappy my best pouty face...nothing
That's all I have. If anyone has any idea about what's going on, I'd really
appreciate the help. Thx.

Question
After you flashed back to stock and rebooted your phone did you do a master clear with Odin3 ?

Yeah, a number of times. Wanted to eliminate any random glitches that might happen.

Hang loose, looking

Try This
Try this:
Remove external sd.
Leave sim in
Flash back to stock
After Boot
Enable usb
Start Odin3
Connect phone to computer
Do Odin3 master clear
Remove phone from computer after phone boots
You should be good from here, back to stock
Find fresh copy of update.zip
ROOT your phone
You know the rest
lol

Just put a clockwork .zip on your phone and do it manually. I think the servers that host clockwork download are having problems

[Q] Installing Bionix Frost on SGS4g

I have been trying to install the Bionix Frost SGS4G rom from team whiskey, but I am having a lot of trouble doing so. I downloaded the file posted in the original thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119986), downloaded Rom Manager through my phone, then CWM through ROM Manager. I attempted to install the .zip file from the SD through ROM manager. Everytime I click the button to install from my SD card, I choose the folder and then my phone restarts and hangs on the "Galaxy S" startup screen. After about a minute, it starts up normally. I know I must be doing something wrong, so would it be possible for someone to walk me through installing this ROM (in somewhat detail)? Thank you in advanced!

I don't know specifically what's going on, but I just installed it on an otherwise stock+rooted T-Mobile SGS4G and it worked splendidly. Did you follow their steps exactly (emptying the cache and all that, and mounting /system)?

Thanks for the quick response. I never get the options to mount/clear because once I choose the .zip file, the phone restarts. I also have rooted, but otherwise stock. I haven't done much with it. Did you just put the zip file on your sd card and run from rom manager? Im not sure if there are any steps prior to this that I am missing. Thanks.

Use Krylon's CWM to install rom, do not use Rom Manager for now.
Uninstall Rom Manager, go to CWM Final thread download files and follow instructions.
Hope it helps

Flashed it and running good. What themes can I do? I want a gb theme.

Ddang was right. I soft bricked twice because of rom manager.
Always use cwm from krylon's post.

I just boot into recovery. Then do it. I dont use rom manager but I have the cwm from it though.

more attempts
ok. i uninstalled ROM Manager. Then I went to the CWM Final Thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099374) and downloaded the 2 files. I Used Root Explorer to overwrite my recovery file. Then I placed the update.zip file onto my SD Card. I just dragged and dropped into the SD card. It is not in a folder or anything and located in /sdcard on my phone. Then I redownloaded the Bionix Frost SGS4G rom and placed it in my /sdcard directory as well. I reboot my phone press the power button, along with both volume buttons to get into recovery. I get into the "Samsung Recovery Utils --for BML--, I see the options to reboot system now, reinstall packages, delete all user data and delete cache. But before I do this, I want to be sure I am on the right track. This is the recovery screen that everyone uses right? I do not see anywhere that it says ClockworkMod. If it is, I know I will have to choose "delete all user data", followed by "delete cache data". But after this step, how do I get to the options to "Mount storage and mount /system"? Thank you for all of the help

Click on reinstall packages ... that will load update.zip and that's how u get into cwm

I'm not sure if you got your problem fixed because I haven't read all the way thru this thread. But I had similar problems from what you described when I installed Bionix Black Ice with voodoo lag fix. I found that when I flashed the rom things didn't work right. My fix, after making a backup of everything, do a data/factory reset, then delete the cache, then delete delvik cache, then flash your new rom. After that, reinstall your apps thru the back up you created and all is good. I am using CWM to flash with and My backup root to backup my apps, files and what nots... Hope this helps!

sea, thats great advice. also, if you guys get any force closes, go back into cwm and go to advanced and fix permissions.

Rom manager Backup of stock rom

I'm hoping someone can help me here. I have rooted my infuse, I used the one click root method. I installed Ti backup and performed a backup of all my apps. I then downloaded Rom Manager latest version off the market. I told it to flash the galaxy i9000 information as thats what i had read was required. Now when I go to make a backup of my rom as it is, it restarts boots into recovery, all the top lettering is blue and says android system recovery, then it shows the options of reboot, reinstall packages,delete all user data, delete cache data, and format internal sd card.
below all this in yellow it shows a bunch of checksum confirmation, then not need cheksum confirmation, Mov1_check executed, update media finished, #MANUAL MODE#, appling multi-csc, installing multi csc, then it shows install defaul apk-files, please wait, then install default apk-files, finished.
at this point the phone just sits there and never reboots or anything. so i choose reboot the system and it does. I can find any backup of the rom on the external or internal sd card. I have both. did i do something wrong somewhere? am i missing the file in the structure somehow? thanks for all the help.

You have to update the recovery in order to use Clockwork. Right now you are in the stock recovery. Once you do it right you will see many more options and the CWM recovery screen (red letters). I am just a noob, so maybe someone more experienced can chime in here too. Here is a thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881

Ok so basically I need to download that file, replace the recovery, then reinstall the package twice. Dies that sound right? Lol
Also, I really don't have Amy plans to install a. Custom rom, so a Ti backup would probably be enough anyway right??

Yes you will know when you are in Red Clockwork recovery, it looks way different than the blue stock one. Install the update twice and you should see it.
I would just do a batch backup of your apps and data with Titanium. You don't need a Nandroid backup really unless you are flashing roms or kernels and something goes wrong.

[Q] Failed to verify whole-file signature

Hey,
I have a stock infuse (at&t) rooted with superoneclick.
I installed Rom Manager and ran flash recovery. It went into recovery mode (blue) but I am missing some menu options.
I only have..
Reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
Delete cache data
format internal sd-card
I did reinstall packages twice as per one of the videos but I get an error message that says fail to verify whole-file signature.
I then downloaded and installed into system/bin the recovery file I downloaded from the video tutorial, but still get the error. I also removed rom manager and re-installed..
Any ideas?
I just HATE myself!

1.-Download SGS kernel flasher
2.-Download the Kernel provided in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220088
(CWM-community-kernev8.zip) for Froyo (since you are on stock right? if your on GB go for the other one)
3.-Put it into your SD card.
4.-Open SGS kernel flasher-->Chose kernel
5.-Chose the CMW-community kernel.zip
6.-flash it.
Wait bout 5 minutes its activating vodoo lagfix and it will give you Red CWM wich is basicly the same as green (But with vodoo lagfix option)
From this red CMW you can flash a mod rom wipe data wipe cache wipe dalvik cache etc etc.
Hope you problem solves.
If i helped ya dont forget to thank xD

[Q] Please Help :(

First off, this is my first post (Woopty doo horraaaay) and I desperately need help.
I have a Wifi-Only Motorola Xoom, it used to be on 3.2.1, and I had it rooted, with only using the Tiamat 2.2.2 Moray root.
I've been wanting to upgrade to ICS for a while, and I finally am. I've had to reset my xoom back to stock 4 or 5 times now, and I'm annoyed and want to do it right. Starting off, my Xoom is starting on ICS, unlocked, unrooted.
I've done many different orders of stuff. First, I flashed the clockwork recovery mod, and then I go into it, and installed the EOS-Wingray-60, but after I did that, when I start up the xoom, it never loads, it stays on the "Team EOS" boot animation. I tested it, and left it on all night, and woke up and it was still on team eos. Next, I tried installing the universal root, (It worked), and THEN I installed the Wingray-60. Same problem, stuck on animation. I've repeated these several times, and am not sure what to do.
Pretty much all I want is to be able to overclock it. What order should I do when installing roots and things?
I have wingray-60, Rogue Kernal 2.0.2 Kuma, Universal root, Clockwork recovery mod, Tiamat 3.0.5 (Not sure what this is, but when I use it, it automatically aborts the install), and I have all of the **** to restore it back to factory + my original 3.2.1 backup rooted is saved.
What order should I use the installs in, and which ones should I use? And is there something I'm doing wrong?

To have ICS with Overclock, all you need is:
- Unlocked Bootloader
- Rooted
- CWM Recovery installed (Rogue)
- TeamEOS Wingray Build 60
- TeamEOS Google Apps V10.5
All the other stuff you listed, you can move to another folder for archive. You don't need it.
Follow these steps.
Use Titanium Backup to backup any applications and data you want to save. If you don't care about the apps/data, you can skip this step.
Boot into Recovery. Power off, when the Moto logo shows for about 1 sec, hold the Vol down. Select Android Recovery.
From CWM, select wipe data/factory reset **Warning - you will blow away all your apps/data *** See note about backing up first.
Follow these steps to ensure a clean first install. Select "wipe cache partition"
Select "Yes - Wipe Cache"
Select "advanced"
Select "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Select "Yes - Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Select "+++++Go Back+++++"
Select Install from Zip, Select Zip. Navigate to your Team EOS ROM, and install it
IMMEDIATELY after the ROM is installed, install the Google APPS file via Select ZIP.
If you did everything correctly, Reboot. Now Team EOS boot animation should start and ICS will be available to you along with the Market. Restore your apps. Select from Settings to OC to your desired speed and enjoy.

Now, just to be clear, I should root with the universal root?

Do you have Titanium Backup or Rom Manager? Do you also have SU access?
If you do, you most likely have Root, but you can always re-root if you are unsure.

No, I had just restored my xoom back to factory. I just rerooted, using the universal root, then I wiped all my crap like you said, then I downloaded Eos 60, then I download Gapps and when I download gapps, my xoom says "E:Can't open /sdcard/EOS_GApps_ics_4.0.3_v9.zip (bad) Installation aborted".
Now what :|

You need to flash this version of the CMW Recovery. Without it, you cannot see/mount your SDCard.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979
After flashing, reboot into recovery again and it should see the external SDCard which now contains your EOS ROM and EOS GApps. Flash those back to back and you should be good to go.

I CAN see my external SDCard!!!
If I couldn't see it, how could I even be rooted? That's a whole 'nother problem!
Sorry, but yeah, I can't see everything just fine. It's just Gapps is refusing to install, and everytime I install Eos 60, my device won't boot.

Okay... Relax lol
Please answer these questions
1. Have u checked the md5 sums on the gapps and the eos rom? They are provided and a bad installation can mean your files are buggered sooo check the md5 are correct for each file
2. Did you install the rogue recovery or the modded cwm recovery using fastboot? (not using rom manager or whatever)
3. Have you factory wiped before installing the rom?
4. Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache?
5. Did you install the rom then the. Gapps?
6. Did you fix permissions once you finished flashing both files?
Thanks

First off, I finally got the EOS rom to work perfectly fine. My problem was that I never wiped the system's cache data or dalvik. And where do I check the Md5 sum for the Gapps? Because they still are a "(bad)" file.
Yes, I use a perfectly fine recovery, not rom manager, what permissions need fixing? Thanks.

What IS md5, what does it need to be, and where do I check it? I don't understand the jibberish in the second half of your sentence.

Md5 is a unique hash that is calculated depending on the file.. When they match you have exactly what has been uploaded by the developer. When they dont that can be a cause of your problems.. I suggest u know and understand that for future for almost any file you download where one is provided... You can brick your device and it would be your own fault if you didnt check an md5.. So jibberish, hardly..
Now... Google a free md5 program for your computer and download n install it
Go to your relevant eos thread in first post there is a link for latest gapps packages...
Download the latest 10.5v if u havnt
Look at the md5 its displayed when you download the file or on the side of the file in the list...
Put the downloaded file in the md5 program on your computer and compare to the one provided..
Now try to flash this package within recovery...
Be sure to wipe caches, dalvik... Flash gapps.. Go to advanced then fix permissions... Then reboot.. See if it works.. If not try factory reset, wipe cache n dalvik, install rom, then gapps, then fix permissions.. Then reboot
