Hello to all,
I've been reading alot but i'm stuck in one litle thing. My phone is a US-CA version of i896 Captivate and i wanna move the rom to portuguese locale compatible.
I was already able to root it, but unable to do a rom backup in case things go wrong, because rom manager is always giving me error of "E: failed to verify whole-file signature" During Backup when it reboots and try to backup.
So any help is apreciated if possible. I wanna do the things with care that's why i try to read all that i can grab at google and here also.
The phone is already 2.2 factory and was bought last April.
Thanks in advance.
i think i hadn't ead this one .....

Always appreciated when members do a search or just look around the forum before starting a new thread.
i also read this after
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
and i manage to replace the recovery and i do have a complete system backup, but this was only possible after installing terminal emulator on the droid and voila
su root
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/st16 /system in my case is st16 not 19 and cp /sdcard/recovery /system/bin and it worked.
Now only going to choose a rom to play with
Now is working with firefly 3.0 yes is portuguese now....

Another recovery signature thread?!
Hi Guys,
Since a couple of days I had a lot of apps crashing on my OneX (rooted, Android Revolution) and thought there was something wrong with the rom so I reflashed it but even with a clean rom crashes kept coming back, even without installing anything a couple of processes like com.htc.bgp and android.acore kept crashing/stopping.
I started looking at the logcat output and noticed that the crashes were the result of the data partition being read only and causing Sqlite to throw all kinds of exceptions when trying to write (logically)
When booting everything seems fine, the data partition is mounted RW but somewhere during operation the system remounts /data as readonly.
Usually this is because Linux detects a disk- or journaling error, so I tried running e2fsck on the partition from Clockwork Recovery and this indicated some errors so I fixed these but the problem still persists, random ro remounts with no apparent cause.
So a few questions I have :
- Does anyone have any idea why the system keeps remounting the partition ?
- How to circumvent it from remounting it as read-only ?
- Could this be a hardware failure of the internal memory ?
- Could an application error / exception cause this ?
Thanks in advance !!!
Cheers
Rob
If you installed android revolution and it worked, you have a tegra 3 HOX. How did you get clean rom working? It's for the snapdragon hox.

I think he meant a clean copy of the rom he was using (funny word play). But yes, wrong forum.
Doh. But yeah. Still wrong forum

Try reposting the same questions over at the international One X forums. Although our phones look the same, they differ internally and software isn't compatible across both.

What update are you trying to install? OTA updates usually require a stock system, so if you've modded your system then you'll probably need to FXZ a clean setup. *Note - ICS has no offical FXZ and should use the appropriate resources according to the version you have.
If you post more info about what you have and what you're trying to achieve then I'm sure we'll be able to help you along.
I'm trying to flash the official AT&T ICS that released yesterday.
I was originally rooted with bootstrap on 2.3.6 with the Lithium Rom.
I unrooted the phone, flashed 2.3.6 with RSDLite to get a clean phone. This is when I tried the OTA which gives me that error.
I have tried multiple scripts here. I've used RSDLite and also the fastboot scripts to return to 2.3.5/2.3.6 from ICS(or GB) countless times.
I've never had this much trouble before.
has anyone had this issue? i can't even find anything about this on google.
well if this helps anyone at all.
I am flashing above 50% battery.
after RSDLite to 2.3.6 I still get this error, but it shows 2.3.6 just fine when I start up again.
When I do the update for ICS it does everything just fine all the way up until "updating STE BP"
this is where it gets held up and throws the error.
updating STE BP ..
assert failed: motorola.steflash("/tmp/steflash")
E:error in /cache/Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted
I have tried the method of downloading it straight from OTA and also from copying the file from their website to my SD Card and installing this way.
Both methods result in the problem.
the exact method I have been doing is this.
I was originally on 2.3.6 rooted bootstrap on Lithium rom
I did the clean up method for bootstrap and then ran the unroot script.
Then used RSDLite to flash to 2.3.5 (tried straight to 2.3.6 as well)
when it reboots it still throws the error even for 2.3.5/6 steflash
I then do the OTA for ICS over WiFi which again throws the error.
I would extremely appreciate any possible help you guys could give.

grabbed this from the log file. here is where the STEFLASH code starts.

While I'd like to tell you that you searching on Google was the right approach, you have come up short because these things have been addressed countless times here on xda. So, anyone else reading this, please include "xda" in your Google searches. That will point you back here, whereas otherwise searching xda FROM xda yields less than satisfactory results at times.
You were on 2.3.6 and wanted to update to ICS, but you had the Atrix 2 Bootstrap app and likely CWM Recovery as well. That said, and if so, you have some file finding and deleting to do:
You will need to delete all the files associated with CWM and the Atrix 2 Bootstrap (if ever installed) via Root Explorer or ADB:
Removing Atrix 2 Bootstrap:
Delete file /system/bin/logwrapper
Delete file /system/bin/hijack
Rename file /system/bin/logwrapper.bin to /system/bin/logwrapper
Delete directory /preinstall/recovery (Note: This directory might not exist)
Since you also installed the recovery on boot you need to restore the following:
Removing Bootstrap Recovery on Boot:
Delete file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode
Rename file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode.bin to /system/bin/mot_boot_mode

Quick question before doing all that again.
Since I did the RSD flash, shouldn't it have made it stock and not require those steps?

No, it doesn't work that way. Post number 8 details how to solve this issue. Simply flashing back to stock doesn't remove the files, and therefore they must be removed manually.

The bootloader is locked up tighter than a 16th Century King's daughter's chastity belt, so don't worry about that being an issue. Are you using Root Explorer to delete and rename the appropriate files? Also, you say you've already tried to use the above steps, then used the FXZ back to stock 2.3.6 and you still can't get the Moto Server update, correct?

Were you able to verify that the Atrix 2 Bootstrapper files and the Bootstrap Recovery on Boot files were in fact deleted and renamed correctly? Also, which FXZ file did you use in RSDLite?

I got JB OTA update, but it failed after my phone rebooted.
Where do I find the error log? What are the usual troubleshooting steps?
My phone is rooted, but that's the only change I remember making. Can't figure out why update keeps failing.
Couple questions, you didn't install custom recovery did you? I know it says only rooted, but just double checking. Also, did you freeze any apps....any at all?

No custom recovery. No frozen apps.
I haven't had any problems with the previous update (VRLHE).
Is there a log file saved somewhere on the phone with the error message?

Solved!
Found the solution. After poking around in the file system I found install log in
/cache/recovery/last_log
So, if anyone is having upgrade problems that's the log file you should be looking at for error messages.
Turned out I disabled camera click by renaming the sound file and completely forgot about it :silly:.
In my case this was the error message that pointed to the problem:
"failed to stat "/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg": No such file or directory"

Oh, something silly might be the cause of my issue, as well.
EDIT:
After rooting to view the install_log file contents, it appeared that my install failed because "/system/lib/libjni_emailspellcheck.so" was not on my phone - what a ridiculous error to hold up a major OS upgrade.
I found Incubus' JellyBomb ROM at the VRLHE level and copied libjni_emailspellcheck.so from that to my phone in the proper subdirectory. Re-installed the JellyBean 4.1.1. OTA and everything went fine.
Weatherbug and some other apps are JellyBean-ized, it appears. Cool.

The sneaky bastards at Verizon tried to push the OTA yesterday evening. The phone was in my pocket and it started getting warm. Pulled it out and saw the update failed message. "last_log" showed it couldn't find VzTones.apk. Well, I had deleted that after backing up in TiBackup, but had reinstalled it a week or so ago. Apparently, when ti restored the apk it wound up being named "com.vzw.hs.android.modlite-1.apk", or at least that's my assumption since the icon is the same. I renamed it, but the update failed (dl via wifi this time. Why does it have to download again, by the way?) again because VzTones didn't have the "expected sha1 sums", whatever that means. I gave up and used this method to get the update, root, and unlocked bootloader.
I think I preferred flashing my Moment to this.
Here's a question: Does that 400mb download count against your data plan?

you would have to get a ported (non offical: should work just as fine as offical but there could be some other added stuff.) version since you want Cm 10.2 5.x.x.x should work but just to be on the safe side you should try getting 6.0.4.5. should only have to download a zip of whatever you find and flash it in your current recovery.

I get Image Update Error when updating the 6.0.4.5 version. I've chosen on for another device because there isn't any 6.0.4.5 version for Nexus One.
I checked the free available space. In the SD Card I've have plenty (more than 2GB), but /system has 0% available. This might cause the flash to fail. Is there any option to free up space before I flash the ROM?
Update: even after formatting the system directory I still get the same error, this it not the problem so it seems.

your gonna have to ask the nexus ones offical Q&A then http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-one/help if i right with this problem you have to do something specifically and differently for every device so just ask the pros on your device first.

Status 7 error comes due to system folder being full.. I m not a nexus one user and its a common problem..
Open the rom zip of your file delete some apps from system/app then flash the rom..
This will solve your status 7 error..
