[Q] Samsung Galaxy S 4G Gingerbread 2.3.6 Update and Root

Samsung Galaxy S 4G Gingerbread 2.3.6 Update and Root
So i found this over at http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6794946
if anyone has tried this let me know what happens and what you think. I bought this phone used a few weeks ago. I had no idea about rooting and unlocking and roms, I basically learned everyrthing thru research here....so naturally im a tad skeptical of things outside of this forum....silly
Ive rooted and unloked my phone. ive flashed several roms. right now i have the octane v2.3.5...smooth resposive fast

Not sure it's much if any different from what you can get out of the forums here. I'm running rooted 2.3.6.
I'm a 'better to be safe than sorry' type. Looks like that links makes a coupke of references back to here, anyway.

Don't use anything that isn't on this forum or in RootzWiki. You'll just get flamed for hard bricking by using something from another site.

Rooting and deleting bloat
I got this T959V last week and knew there had to be development on it. I got a Pandigital novel last christmas and learned some good lessons about android over at slatredroid. I was happy to find so much good work here and jumped right into flashing after slogging through this swamp (that's a compliment!) of info and choices. My phone arrived with Froyo 2.2.1 and stock T959VUVKD1. After getting my mind wrapped around the possibility of bricking the thing (which, thanks to the nature of the device and/or the excellent developers here, seems less likely than with the Pandigital) I used Odin to flash right to FW2.3.5, then tonight to FW2.3.6, T959VUVKJ5, kernel 2.6.35.7-T959VUVKF1-CL270364
I have not removed my sdcard (unlike w/pandigital flashing) or sim card on either of the three stops in my upgrading. HOWEVER, when I followed dsexton702's guide to rooting I did have to remove my battery - the red blowfish after loading his first rooting tarball nearly had me dropping a load in my pants. Couldn't power down with the button, so I pulled the battery and hoped. Put the battery back in, powered on and it booted. I thought factory reset, then reflashing 2.3.6 and forgetting about rooting. But I do want to remove some of the bloat from the device, so I just used odin to upload the second rooting tar and prayed! It worked! Thank you, dsxton702!
At least it seems to have worked. When I open titanium it now recognizes the device as rooted. I am using the freebie, which may be my real problem. But, anyway, here's where I am. When I try to delete preinstalled software like slacke by doing FORCE REMOVE APP in titanium I get this result:
finding update package
unknown volume for path [SYSTEM:/app/slackerradio.apk]
Can't mount SYSTEM:/app/slackerradio.apk
Installation aborted
Given these choices, I tried #4 first, then #1:
reboot system
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
The app remains. I know I have to buy the app to freeze other apps; the error message tells me so. But to delete, is my problem that I am using the titanium freebie, or am I doing something wrong with the freebie?

So has anyone tried it? I just want to make sure someone has confirmation before I try this one.

Neon - Use the GB Ext4 Starter Pack - It works.
Or use The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection - It works.
Or use ROM-ODIN-2.3.6-Gingerbread Offical - It works.

If there were torrents for downloads things would be much easier:laugh:

Help me with Valhalla Custom ROM flashing
Hello. I just thought this forum to be the appropriate one for posting my issue. I have SGS4G. Using XDA forums help I have been able to upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6. lumin30's "[GUIDES] Fresh out of box Galaxy S 4G | Heimdall One-Click For Dummies" I have flashed my Kernel and installed CWM. Thanks a lot lumin30 for your guide. It really helped a noob like me.
However I am facing below problems
1. From the same link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470716 I chose Valhalla Black FB edition. And when i choose "vb-fb-build-4.zip" download link it downloads very slowly and evenif the total file size initially shows as 143MB, however only 20-40MB files are getting downloaded. I have tried several times. Same issue..not sure why. Anyone has any link from where I can get the latest Valhalla Black FB edition?
2. When I tried to take the Valhalla Black FB Edition from "https://github.com/teamacid/valhalla-black (Valhalla Black FB Edition on GitHub) and downloaded it it was around 141MB.

Could anyone help me with these questions. It will really be a great help as I need to flash the ROM. Do I also need to install some more files along with the ROM?

Please help!!

[Q] [CM9] (status 7) installation aborted...

Good day everyone.
I've run into a rather frustrating issue I haven't seen anyone solve, especially for this specific phone.
I'm running CM9-alpha5 right now, and I'm trying to flash one of the newer versions but I keep getting this "(status 7) installation aborted" no matter what ROM I attempt to flash now, even when I try to flash alpha-4 in which I was previously running.
I've made sure the permissions are set to read and write for everyone from within my computer(running pangolin ubuntu right now) and alas, the status remains 7.
Luckily I'm able to still re-flash alpha 5 and use my phone but... what gives?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I feel I should clarify that I've been downloading these from get.cm like I have been, and transferring them directly to my sd card.
It feels like an odd permission screw-up, but I'm wondering if either that's not it or if there is any easier route to take than backing up and completely formatting my sd..

You didn't mention what recovery you're on, but I'd suggest trying a different one. There have been issues with some of the ROM Manager versions. We've had good success with:

Thanks for the reply! I'm running CWM non-touch v.5.0.2.7 right now. The strangest thing is I came home, downloaded the 6-20 Nightly, and flashed it with success! so I guess the previous point is kind of null now, but I still feel I should update my CWM. Do you have any suggestions as to how I should go about updating from my old non-touch to the new touch? Thanks again for the reply!

Installing on linux... not so fun. I said forget it and came to use my parents windows machine to just easily use ODIN real quick. I wasn't sure if I had to do any specific backups or anything before flashing but, nope, it was simple enough. Thanks again for your help!

I'm in a similar boat (bricked my device and somehow need to flash something to have the tablet boot). Can't we just use the firmware linked in the OP? It might not be the german version but I suppose we could still flash it and just change the language or something? Anyway, that's what I'm gonna try as soon as my SD card arrives.

Is it possible, to install the english OS on a "german" tablet?
Or encounter some problems?
English itself, shouldn't be the problem.

I was wondering whether I might get some helpt flashing the "Acer_AV041_A511_1.011.00_WW_GEN1". My Tablet has been bricked for some time because I (stupid as I am) tried to do a factory reset using the recovery provided by nikagl even though he specifically said that we were not to do that (I did read that warning but after a few weeks I just forgot about it :/).
Anyway, I've installed the cmw recovery by nothrills and tried to flash aforementioned firmware. I put it on an external SD card which has been formatted to FAT32. I went to the recovery menu and tried to flash the zip file. However, I got a getprop(product.name) error and the installation was aborted. After browsing the board a bit I found out that I have to delete the line starting with 'assert(getprop("ro.product.name")' which is located in META-INF\com\google\android\. But still, the tablet won't flash the firmware. It simply says "Installation aborted. Status 5 [or 6]".
I've also tried flashing the firmware by going back to stock recovery, renaming the firmware to update.zip and starting the tablet by holding the power and the minus button which is supposed to start the flashing process automatically. However, that just results in a red " ! " and an Android lying on its back.
I'd really appreciate it if someone was able to help me. (I've already sent the tablet to the Acer customer service who said that the installation of cmw recovery has damaged the motherboard. They say they will replace it for ~250€.)

Thank you for trying to help, I really appreciate it .
You have to edit line 1 of the updater-script in META-INF\com\google\android\
Delete this: in assert(getprop("ro.product.name") == "a510_emea_de");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That is mostly what I did. Except I used winrar instead of 7zip. The first line of the updater-script was "assert(getprop("ro.product.name") == "a511_ww_gen1");" and I deleted it. When I then try to flash the file it says "E:Error in /external_sd/Acer_AV041_A511_1.011.00_WW_GEN1 - Copy.zip (Status 6)"
I also tried renaming the zip file first but the result was the same.
Edit:
As it turns out, the Status 6 error does only occur when I edit the updater-script file with wordpad. If I open it with the editor it works just fine. I was able to flash the firmware. However, the tablet then wouldn't do anything else then showing "Acer" on the screen for ever and ever and ever and ever :/.

In the case you installed a A510 ROM (without 3G) and can't flash back to the original A511 to be able to upgrade to JB and have a working 3G functionality, cause CWM vomits status 7 or 4 errors while flashing the offered .zip, try this way

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.

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:

Build number 1.53.531.16CL47441 release keys
The software I removed wifi manager , where is my water, twitter and another one do not remember the name.
The error I am getting when I try to install the downloaded OTA is

I was up for two nights trying to figure how to install the update with no luck. Any assistance is appreciated.

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

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.

1. Acer or Google USB drivers. No, I am not going to tell you how to do this. If you can't figure it out, then you don't need to be here.
Driver issues, can be addressed in the Q&A forum.
2. USB Debugging turned on (your development settings). If you can't find it in Settings/Development, then again, you do not need to be here.
Disclaimer. This is done at your own choice. I am not responsible if your tab doesn't start, global war, or EMP's dropping on your residence. If you complain, I will probably just laugh at you. If I err in my ways, then I will fix the script.
What the "bat" file does.
It roots your tablet.
Installs the 701 unsecure boot,img which can be used on all region JB devices
Installs SU binaries
Installs Superuser
Installs Busybox
This is a full root with /system remounts
Ooops too late, this already happened!

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

Disclaimer. This is done at your own choice. I am not responsible if your tab doesn't start, global war, or EMP's dropping on your residence. If you complain, I will probably just laugh at you. If I err in my ways, then I will fix the script.
What the "bat" file does.
It roots your tablet.
Installs the 701 unsecure boot,img which can be used on all region JB devices
Installs SU binaries
Installs Superuser
Installs Busybox
This is a full root with /system remounts
Ooops too late, this already happened!
Choice 1 exits the bat without installing CWM
Choice 2
Installs CWM Recovery in addition to rooting.
If you quit after step 1, you will still have stock recovery.
DOWNLOAD
Open a command window in the folder you extracted the files.
Run.... 701easyroot
Enjoy

Looks like Dev-Host lost it.
Re-uploaded and changed the link. Try it again. Works for me.
Thanks for telling me about it!

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:

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.
