[Q] Stuck Two

hey i have rooted my captivate and gone tthrough all the steps to flash new rom but when i go to install rom it says installing but nothing happens how long does it take and is there something im missin using mac

More detailed steps please of what u did.

rooted phone then flash clockwork then back up and tryed to install just like its say the only thing i did different the pc user is recompressed files to zip because mac uncompresses them automaticly when u download them this is my first attemp at flashing rom its says installing but there is no progress on the stats bar

Do not re-compress them. find a way to get it onto the sd card without it.
have you gotten to the point where you select the file when you are in recovery?

That is your problem. If you recompress it, it will not work. I myself am on a mac, and although it decompresses it automatically, it should still have the original ZIP file in your downloads folder. You need to use that.

thanks for the great help i got it your number one for five mins only lol

rooting galaxy R 4.0.4 failed

Hello everyone,
Please Help !!
i have installed android version 4.0.4 on my GT-19103
the base band version is 19103DDLP3
kernel version is 3.1.10-1169726
i tried every way to root my device but completely failed
i installed CWMR 4.0.0.2 using odin
my problem starts from here when i put the .Zip file in internal or external SD card (not in a folder)
and when i choose select zip file from SD
its not there
any other file is there
but any .zip file is not there (can't find .zip or .apk)
even i cant upgrade CWMR because higher version is .zip which i cant find either when i choose select zip file from SD
i tried all instructions and googling for days
i tried one click root
but the only thing i didn't try is
can i root my device using odin and old rooting package for android version 2.3.4 gingerbread although i am running android version 4.0.4 now??
regards;

First welcome to Galaxy R forum ..
From next time please don't create new thread for each every small thing, I didn't get you have you flashed CWM using ODIN if yes just flash Ardatdat's kernel you can download it from Dev Section....

buddy, there is Q/A thread for the same. I think you must use it first. But if you have made it so here is the solution for rooting:
Q. 4) How Can I flash CMW & Root my Galaxy R.?
A. 4) This is something Critical. Just Joking. Its so easy. If you are over GB then flash Superuser zip file(attached) & if you are over ICS then just flash Ardatdat's Kernel V4 or higher. it will automatically Root your Galaxy R. Link for Ardatdat's kernels in dropbox: → Dropbox ←
Also, one can follow this tutorial for Rooting ICS - > {Guide} Rooting Galaxy R on version 4.0.4 & for flashing CMW please follow this tut -> [Guide] How to flash stock FW and CWW and Root i9103
Also there is Q/A thread for your all questions(most probably) here → http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983262
Edit: Great, MJ used Hammer first.

WOW what a reply ! i like this part "each every small thing"
regardless it is a HUGE issue to me at least
you didn't understand the problem !
i can't flash any kernel because it is a ZIP file
CWR is not recognizing ZIP files
CWR can't see ZIP files
my problem with CWR and ZIP files

Hello, You can try one of these:
1. Try reflashing CWM v4.0.0.2 via ODIN and check if its recognizing the said zips.
2. Place the zips in a folder inside the internal sdcard and try.

Duplicate thread.
Check. here
Flash ardatdats kernel v4 or higher (download it from here) and youll be done.
And if CWM Recovery is not recognizing zip files..
Dont put it in a FOLDER like
/sdcard/xyz folder/abcd.zip
Put it like
sdcard/abcd.zip
i.e. Directly in the basic folder of sdcard..
NOT in any folder like bluetooth,clockworkmod,android,DCIM etc.
This might solve your issue mate

Failure to install CWM zip

I searched for a thread with a similar thread but i couldn't find one.
SO here is my problem.
I am using CWM 5 and it refuses to install CWM zips for some reason. It gives status error 0 installation failed. I have no idea how to fix this problem. Will be grateful for your help.

status 0 error comes due to bad binaries file. Just update binaries of that zip or give a shot from CWM 6.0.1.1.

For updation of binaries->Just extract any CWM File of Galaxy R at your PC/mobile. It will show 2-3 folders. Go to Meta-info folder->In the end of Folders you will see 2 files. one is Update script & second is Update-binaries. These Wrong update binaries become problem of Status 0.
For flashing CWM 6.0.1.1-> Flash This file using CWM
Just click "Show Content" if you think you are Newbie.

So CWM 6.0.1.1 will flash the zips irrespective of their binaries? And should i choose to update the binaries, How do i do it?

Buddy, I have given then CWM 6.0.1.1. extract the inside files. Just follow the above process ( Copy paste of Update-binary file).

Mj asked me to flash the CWM zip that u gave me so thats exactly what i did. I flashed the zip via CWM and then tried flashing the other zip files(which had failed earlier) and it didnt work. So to be clear - u want me to extract the zip u provided and replace the binaries in the zips(whose flashing failed) with the one from CWM 6.0.1.1 ? and then compress it into zip format (via winzip or winrar). Am i right ?

Yes buddy, so instead of compressing it, just use Winrar. open both files (i.e. error one & CMW)-> Delete update binaries file from Error one-> extract File (update binaries) from CWM.-> Just Drag & drop using mouse the extracted file to Error Ziped file-> Just press ok whatever Winrar says(it will add it in the file)-> Flash that error file now & report.
@MJ, i think you have made a thread regarding CWM errors..??

Stock ROM yes but i use CWM recovery for all practical purposes. As all zips are given in CWM flashable formats including ones as basic as Superuser.zip . Currently I am on X-perience ROM and im using CWM 6.0.1.1. before which i was using CWM 5.5.x

[Q]Please help me to install CM7.2 Jelly Smart ROM on my Vodafone Smart 2 v860

I already flashed my phone, using fastboot, with a custom ROM and rooted my phone so i'm not a total idiot (just half).
Could you please explain to me how to flash the JellySmart ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287172
I do not understand how to flash A5 and A5-1 to my phone. Every ROM i looked at had lots of .img files, but this ROM has 2 parts (A5 and A5-1), each one with lots of folders, system files and only one .img file (boot.img).
Please enlighten me.

Well, first of all, download both .zips and place them on the root of the SDCard. Don't extract the content of the zips. Then reboot into recovery and do a factory reset and format /system and /custpack from mounts and storage. Then go back and choose install zip from sd card and select the A5 one. After installing boot-up and then go back into recovery and flash the A5-1 zip. Boot-up and you`re done.

Thanks for the info. I've managed to install it, but now the phone won't find my bluetooth headset... dammit!

How do I install this carbon rom on my P6200?

Hi All,
I've downloaded the carbon rom form xda developer's site but it does not see to install with odin.
Can you please tell me if there is other flashing software that I need to have to use this rom?
I'm attaching a screen shot of what the rom file looks like when extracted.

Yeah you don't want to extract the zip file, but copy the .zip to an sd card and install it from custom recovery.
If you don't have custom recovery you would go here https://goo.im/devs/daniel_hk/recovery/TWRP/p6200/ and download and flash in Odin (its the 2.8.0.0 that ends in .tar, you put that in the PDA box)
