[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] Superuser Force Closing

I just rooted my Inspire. I'm trying to flash a ROM for the first time using ROM Manager. It says I need CWM Recovery installed before continuing. But it is installed as far as I can tell, it is. There's a folder for it on the SD card. I tried using Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and it causes Superuser to force close.
I've search every string of words I can think of and none of the threads coming up are related to my issue. Fast Boot is off. Debugging is on. I'm new to flashing ROMs, so I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing, but it is REALLY pissing me off.
One of the threads did mention a superuser zip file needing to be in the root directory of the SD card. I don't see one in mine, so I won't be shocked if that's the problem. But then, it becomes a matter of finding where to download that zip.
Please help.

You need to reinstall su.

It's not letting me install it for whatever reason.
There is a certain irony that running "Fix Permissions" to solve the force close issue CAUSES Superuser to force close.

did you unzip the file? What rom are you running? Do have sdk?

I unzipped the file. Moved to the SD. Tried installing it from there. Yes, I have permissions set to install from non-market sources.
I'm running, presumably, the AT&T stock ROM, unless the Simple Root S-Off program installed something different.
Don't know the answer to the SDK question.

Have you tried to clear out the 'data' for 'Superuser' application under application settings?

As said try clearing data and cache.
If that doesn't work.
Uninstall su.
Download anrdoid SDK
Cope all the files from platform tools to tools
place su apk in tools folder
shift+right click on the tools folder, open command promp
use adb to push apk
Code:
adb devices( make sure it is connected)
adb remount
adb push ./(name of app) /system/app

Here's a possible reason I'm having a problem.
When I did the root, I used a spare SD card to make the gold card. I've been trying to flash a ROM with my regular SD card. Could that be what's causing it?

no, the gold card is only needed to downgrade the radio/rom and pass the CID check.

So here's where I'm at....
It won't let me install the superuser fix above.
It won't let me uninstall superuser.
I even purchased the pro version for the Market, hoping that it might install a version over the version flashed there and that doesn't force close every freaking time I try to do anything in ROM manager.
In the meantime, I miss about 50% of the texts, emails and notifications on my phone because, of course, I don't HEAR them. And the bloatware is bogging down the phone.
So, are there any suggestions before I walk outside and throw this phone into the Atlantic Ocean?

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] clockwork?

I have looked all over the internet for a solution to this and couldnt find an answer so hopefully some one can help. I tried to flash clockwork recovery through Rom manager and it says it was successful but every time I reboot, it just goes into 3e. Thank you to anyone who can help

Sellect "Reinstall packages" option twice, that will get you to green CWM

all I get is E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted.

This worked for me
This happened to me when I was trying to copy the modified "recovery" file into my "/system/bin" directory. It looked like I r/w access tothe directory when I actually didn't....I used "System Manager" instead of "Root Explorer"...Copied the modified "recover" file to the "/system/bin directory.....then started the boot sequence over again.

You can use h8rift's with modded 3e Odin back to stock or flash community kernel.

I had the same problem. This worked for me too. Also you can factory restore. Wipe everything. Run Odin. Reroot. I usually just copy the modded 3e using root explorer cause ROM manager gave me issues.

[Q] How to delete files permanently in ADB?

My P1000 shut down randomly, so I tried to put everything new on it. After flash and all the other stuff it won't run properly anymore. Everytime I get 'System UIDs Inconsistent'. used Odin and Heimdall, I did wipe the data and the cache, I can see with ADB it is gone, but after reboot all the corrupt apps and system failures are back again. I installed several different firmwares, nothing worked.
I have changed permissions with chmod and deleted by hand several files, amongst them the everytime restarting but crashing apps like skype and whatsapp.
When I perform wipe, delete, rename or move actions in ADB the results are what I wanted. But when I restart everything is back again. I even deleted almost anything, did not work.
This happened in all the roms I installed, so it must be a problem in the filesystem or so. Any idea how to permanently delete stuff while in adb shell? I already gave myself all the rights on the tablet, synced it after the deletes, nothing works.
Or does anybody know how to start from scratch?
I cannot start the tab anymore in normal mode, but I do have recovery mode and overcome cwm.

best of luck

try plugging it up while its in cwm and access the adb shell while its displaying. the prompt should be ~# if its universal. maybe you can completely wipe everything and flash a recovery at the same time? that may keep it deleted. i dont know. just a suggestion. i hope you succeed... tell me how it goes.

thanks for answering.
i tried all that, even did a complete format of the internal sd card, in adb with parted and also in windows with a mounted card. it says it is deleted, but after reboot it is all back again...

Do you have a backup of a working ROM you can restore?

Crap.... Hmm... Have you tried any formatting software? Try to find a programmer who can wipe it completely, re partition, and reinstall the stock rom. Then try to restore to something before the problems

Use flashtool. I've heard it can unbrick, maybe it'll help???

this Q
With Q???

Recovery rom can be installed, but is gone after reboot. Formatting in windows or linux (adb) performs without errors, but after reboot, yes you guessed right, it is back. So this internal sd card has a life of its own, the only thing I can do is install a working system with flashing, but then no app will work, every activation of whatever app will give inconsistent uids errors. And I cannot install new apps, because vending.apk (market) will crash. I installed vending by hand (adb), then it work for a moment, but after reboot to use it the normal way, again crashed.
AS LONG AS I CANNOT REPLACE THE SDCARD IT IS HOPELESS?!?

This morning I left the unwilling android tab in the power adapter to be fully charged for a new go. But: it is now a real brick. It won't power up any more, the button lights do not flash anymore, the only thing it does, is showing the battery. Never again will I buy such an expensive underdeveloped piece of plastic crap again!

Calm down... You need to boot into recovery mode and try using formatting the sd. If comp can recognize, format the sd with the computer. It's not the android. It's what you did. Sorry
