Well I switched to S-OFF to get a new splash screen and now I can no longer install OTA updates for my Hero. I get a signature failure every time I try to install. Does anyone know how to switch this back on? I didn't realize this would kill the ability to do updates as the forums I have read before switching didn't have any mention of it.
Sorry if this has been previously posted and I missed it in the forums.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The signature failure isn't from s-off it's from the custom recovery. What you need to do is to resign the zip.

Just an added note, as far as I know, you can't switch back to S-ON on this
device, at least, not at the moment.. If they get S-ON to work on these phones,
good, but if not, I'm not overly concerned.

Not sure I'm understanding the question. But, if he means receiving updates directly from Sprint then they don't come as zip files. So, how would signing anything help him?
Not sure why you would want to download something from Sprint directly anyway. Whenever an update comes out, they're usually packaged and ready for you to flash via custom recovery by the end of the day if not sooner.

The ota (over the air) updates that sprint pushes out and you download are stored in an update zip in /cache then when you choose to install them they are flashed through the stock recovery... but if you don't have the stock recovery you will have to pull the update from your device resign it and then flash it through custom recovery. Also they won't work on anything but a stock or close to stock rom because of the checks it does in the update scripts and most of everything inside is .p files (patch).
I should know because I took the second to last sprint update rooted it and posted it on here. You can actually test this theory by running the ruu rooting it and then when you get an update download it but don't install it right away. You'll find it in /cache (I believe forgotten exactly) or just take my word for it.
If you do do it like that I suggest the original 2.1 ruu just because you'll get your original radio back in the process

Good information to know. Thanks Asadullah.
I tried to ask the question before but had no luck getting the answer.
I have rooted tmobile one s, version 1.53 (every one else seems to have 1.78).
I need to update my software.
I downloaded ota update but installation failed.
I have removed couple originals mobile software.
No new rom is installed.
I am sure the question was asked before but I do not seem to find it.
I appreciate if someone post a link or have some guidance on this as to what steps are needed.

The OTA update would bring you to version 1.84, the other versions are not for TMOUS. It would seem to help if you gave more details as to how the OTA failed like error messages and such, as well as what "couple originals mobile software" it was you removed, was that some swinging app?
Thank you, here is more info to clarify the question:

The software I removed wifi manager , where is my water, twitter and another one do not remember the name.

Ok. Easy fix. Download the t mobile nandroid and install the zip in cwm recovery and you'll be on 1.84 . It's in dev section. Make sure you get the t mobile one.

Have never had any issues myself but read that OTAs and possibly RUU (?) sometimes require all original apps to be present. You could try to find that TwitterWidget .apk somehow like in /system/app that nandroid Mike talked about, copy it to your SDcard and install it then try the OTA again. Or just install the whole Nandroid in CWM, make sure you backup your stuff first if you mess it up

Thank you Mike, can I push my luck and get an answer on how to unzip the update file and how to create cwm step by step link. Thank you again all. It is a rough journey.

you dont unzip any update file, you have a few way to fix this:
1: Restore the apps that the OTA update is complaining about. To do this you download the Nandroid file Mike linked to and use winzip, 7zip or whatever to open it in Windows and find the twitterwidget file in it. Then you copy it to your phones SDCard and click it on your phone. You might have to check the setting to allow apps from other sources than the Play Store in phone settings. Hopefully this works, if not you have to bootloader unlock your phone and root it. There are good guides stickied around here.
2: Unlock your bootloader so you can install CWM recovery, then download the Nandroid file to your SDCard, boot into CWM recovery, and restore the Nandroid. A Nandroid is a complete backup of someones phone software and settings. This might wipe all your data.
3: Easiest way might be to run a RUU for T-Mobile USA with version 1.84. This might wipe all your data. A RUU is a program you run in Windows with your phone connected via USB, it'll factory reset your phone with the version of software in the specific RUU file, you can find a TMOUS one in development section, the thread is called Ville/VilleC2 shipped ROMs.
4: Send it in to TMOUS and they'll probably run a RUU for you.
Thank you frdd:
1: I tried to do number one, but the unzipped files still does not have a breakdown for the specific twitterwidget, somehow it will have to be within a system file that has different name. My phone is unlocked and rooted.
2- eventhough my phone is unlocked, i still can not install cwm, i guess it has something to do with previous postings where others have a problem entering the recovery on htc one s
4- I will do as last resort.
3- I am trying to do now, Do I have to relock the bootloader? is there a step by step guide on how to run RUU.
Thank you again.

Thanks Mate
Actually some of the credit goes to Verboth, Pagustin, Pawitp, Civato, EZTerry. These guys do a lot for the Iconia line of tablets.
Should also thank Acer for finally letting us unlock the bootloader
Remember, "Bootloader" is different from "boot.img"

Thanks alot Moscow and to all the other contributors to this release. This solved 2 of my problems on my A701 tab I got following the first post in this thread:
1. Prerequisites said CWM 6.0.1.1 was required which i installed - This version does not work on the A701. Booting into recovery gives alot of error messages about not able to mount among other things the sd card. Installing this release gives me CWM 6.0.1.5 which seems to work correctly (making a backup in CWM 6.0.1.5 to SD card right now).
2. Beeing rooted but not having R/W rights on the system, as you Moscow explained for me earlier in this thread.
Thanx alot again!

No problem! Glad it worked.
The reason why the original CWM 6011 didn't work, is because it was designed for the ICS system using an ICS kernel. If you were on ICS it works fine. I believe the thread you referenced, has you install it while on ICS so you can run that update that was in the original rooted package.
The latest CWM 6015 seems to be ok, although I has seen a couple irregularities in it, but for the most part, it works with JB systems.
The rooting method for JB has been around for awhile, just that some users would rather see it in a script instead of using adb from a command line.
Have fun

Ok, after looking at what Pangustin told you in the other thread, here is how I understand it.
He migrated to 4.1.1 by virtue of the update (or flashing the image file, it really doesn't matter).
Then, he wanted to install the latest "leaked" 701 update. However, he had deleted some files and such, so the leaked update probably wouldn't install. The update files are very sensitive to changes.
So he ran the original JB Update again (the 270mb one). The theory, is this refreshed the missing files, and installed locked bootloader and such. At this point, it appeared he could successfully install the newest "leaked" update file. (the 6mb one).
I would guess, to go back to a stock jelly bean setup, you would only need to install the 270mb patch update file you have posted here.
I don't plan on trying this, at least unless I'm extremely bored. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
MD
You're right MD.
I manually installed JB the first time as my tab didn't get the update the I deleted som system apps I didn't use.
Out of curiosity I did a temp unroot of my tab and checked if an official update was available through OTA. And there the 6mb update was available to me but it would not install because of the missing system apps.
So I went through the process of reflashing the whole thing like I did originally to get JB and I was able to flash the 6mb update.
That was a lot of time just to flash a small upgrade but I was the only one having it so I thought it might be nice to get it for everyone.
I'm not interested in what behind paugustin did... i meant i wanna know how you smart guys did the job done with every steps, adb, flashed and etc how to figure it out with the command code... i just wanna learn little bit about that, even though i will not to do that because paugustin warn me not to do the risk, but an advanced user come from a noob right? :laugh: ... i'm just curious about what have you guys done if you guys do not mind share particularly explains post about every steps detail how to do that like "a guide how to revert back to stock image/recovery" etc...
Actually i'm Just bored everyday checked out a701 tab post, but too little person post/participate, whether the cause of the language problem or this tab is only sold a few units in the world? or too many noobs like me has purchased the a701 :fingers-crossed:
Thanks MD without your easyroot i will never root my devices and pugustin that has made me curiously

Well, to install it, you simply boot using a stock recovery, or boot using CWM (newest version). In CWM, select "Install zip from SD". Then select that 270mb update file.
To quickly get to recovery, you can just adb reboot recovery
Keep in mind, you have to have the correct version of android already installed. In other words, you can't go running that update on a DE rom for example.

Do you have JB 4.1.1 installed now? or do you have ICS 4.0.3?
Because if yo have JB, you do not need to install that 270mb update.

yes i have it JB 4.1.1 installed...!!! so what i should to do?
Feel free to answer as much or as little of this post as possible. My desire is to learn. First, let me phrase my question in general terms:
1. Is it possible to download a stock android firmware rom, extract the rom, and change it, and repackage it in a way that is still accepted by the device as an original factory ROM? In other words, is it possible to take a factory rom (such as an update.zip or in my case 1.0.7.zip) and change it and reinstall it in the stock android system recovery (3e)?
Now that I have asked the general question, I will explain to you why I want to do this (if possible)
I have a tablet that recently stopped booting. I have never rooted it or used a custom rom before. However, the device still powers on and I can access the stock android recovery system. I can even use ADB (though I know very little about it's capabilities). I will explain my logic below. Please feel free to show me if I am wrong on the following points.
1. It is impossible to install a custom rom without FIRST installing a custom recovery.
2. It is impossible to install a custom recovery without FIRST rooting the device.
3. It is impossible to root a device that won't boot if you do not have USB Debugging enabled (via Android Developer Options).
The manufacturer of my device (RCA RCT6378W2) has not released the source code or original factory firmware for this device. I have attempted to install various roms that seem to be compatible via ADB SIDELOAD, but they have always been rejected immediately after the device says:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installation aborted.
However, I have managed to located 3 firmware updates from RCA. These updates are called 1.0.2.zip , 1.0.3.zip, and 1.0.7.zip. These updates are all accepted by the android system recovery. When I ADB Sideload these updates, the tablet says this:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Removing unneeded files...
Unpacking new files...
Install from ADB complete.
Although these firmware updates are installed properly, my tablet still does not boot. Upon closer examination of these updates, they are not full android OS firmwares, but mere updates to the existing system. So, this got me to thinking... These updates are the only firmwares that can manage to pass update verification. Is it possible to alter these updates in a way that will still pass this verification process? If this is possible, then I might be able to reflash the rest of the android operating system by altering these updates to include the full OS. Does anyone know if this is possible? What would be the difficulty level of doing so? I have managed to locate nearly all of the files from another user who has the same device in working condition. For example, I have the following from a working device:
Backup.img
boot.img
cache.img
kernel.img
kpanic.img
misc.img
parameter.img
parameter.txt
recovery.img
system.img
Would it be possible to take the files from these images and add them to the firmware updates and repackage it in a way that passes system verification? And my last question is: Is there any other way I can get this device to a working version of android (stock, custom, I don't care!). Thanks!
There is unfortunately no way currently to modify a manufacturer signed zip and still have it signed unless you have friends within the company who can get you that signature. If you want to root your phone first you need to unlock the bootloader then use fastboot while in bootloader/odin/download mode and flash a recovery then you can use a custom rom.

Thanks for the info. If there is no way to alter a manufacturer rom in a way that is accepted by the system, then I might be out of luck. I don't know much about bootloaders. I feel like I heard someone say that this device did not have one. I've also heard that this device doesn't support fastboot and that Nexus is one of the few that does (that might have been an old statement... not sure). Anyways, it might be time for me to give up on this device. Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the help. It is a RCA RCT6378W2. It is 7" and 8GB. Lots of info on the following link:
http://specdevice.com/showspec.php?id=0893-5af7-0033-c58700000000
How about this question- On a non-rooted device with standard android recovery system, is there any way to install another rom... perhaps one from a very similar device?

no, as it has to be signed by the manufacturer to be accepted by the recovery, and I don't see any roms or even recoveries for your device...

Thanks for checking up on that for me. I've learned alot in my process of trying to fix my tablet, but I think it's about time to call it quits
Hello
I need your support because I can´t install any rom but it´s not clear for me the reason
I already did the next activity without problem
1. Root the phone
2. I installed Recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-infuse(I don’t know if this is the last version but according with the update process I didn’t find another one)
I tried to install the some rooms but I can´t do it because when I’m doing the process of install from Zip I received the next message
error flashing rom status 0 infuse 4g (Installation aborted)
Honesty speaking I don’t know.
I tried to install another rom but the same error message and put the file directly in the location, etc. but the same result please help my does anybody have any idea about this problem

Only thing I can think of is install CWM another way, that is, a stock ROM with CWM built in (via Odin),
If your phone is AT&T (Option D preferably, but I hear downloads are hard to find as of late - unfortuanately I don't have a mirror for this one):

If yours is Rogers:

Hope this helps.
UPDATE:
What ROM are you going to? Did you disable Voodoo Lagfix? Are you going straight to Kitkat?
Try installing CM9 first if the last two answers are No and Yes, respectively.
Ya same here good thread post!
Facing same troubles!

Kitkat (even Jellybean) is often too much of a jump for a CWM of that vintage (unless you are lucky in disabling voodoo lagfix). Try flashing CM9 (this will upgrade your CWM as well). If you still get an error, you will need to OTA to Gingerbread first. This can be achieved by Odining one of the stock ROM's, first link in my previous post.

You can always ask around on the thread - sorry, I don't have any leads (I only downloaded the important stuff for the Rogers version, which will be no good to you).
Good luck though!
UPDATE: I just PM'ed everyone who I've recommended those packages in the past. Hopefully I get a bite.
