That's your problem. You need to be using test keys. Second, root? Also, read the very first line in my signature.

When i root i cant unlock my phone again coz i dont have the unlock code. do i have to root first? before going to rc30 OTA?
even tried rooting but on telnet it doesnt connect it says refused?
@corp

Are you using test-keys?

Chev, please be more specific in you thread titles from now on. "Can't update, No Signature, Verification Failed" would have been a lot better title. Also as mentioned a search for any of those terms would have returned useful results.
Rooting shouldn't effect your phone's lock state, unlocked should remain unlocked. I'm not 100% sure of this so search the forums to be sure, it has been covered many times before.

What do you mean you can't unlock your phone again if you root? Doesn't matter, once you unlock it, it should stay unlocked.

@corp
Yes Sir im using test keys
Trying to root it right now but on the telnet it says cant connect refused

Haha, we are all trying to put in our two cents at the same time. As I said before, please search. It doesn't matter when you joined this forum, you still need to know how to do your research. I am not going to explain how to completely root your phone when there are MANY tutorials and threads in this forum just for that.

As far as telneting, are you fully downgraded?

Ok, as of right now, where are you exactly stuck at?

I'm sorry, i need to add something... At your home screen, did you run telnetd? If not, then you won't get anywhere dude...

@corp769 lol yup, my biggest pet-peve atm is titles with no meaning. (sry chev not trying to thread jack ya here..)
Usually when you first search, it's by title, and if "help" is all that's in the title well then that thread won't be returned in your search results. Then you must search by posts (most don't), which is far more tedious. A thread as simple as this one, even if it becomes locked, could be very helpful to someone searching in the future with the same problem but they'll never find it if they only search by title (which most do). just my 2 cents..
@chev, Zarboz posted a good beginners link, study it until you fully understand the different terms. Then jump to the Helpful Thread and study that. You should have a few hours researching ahead of you but in the end it'll make you a little bit wiser and a narrow down the chances of you bricking your phone.
/me walks away and leaves the helping up to corp769..

Yea, that's true man. When I was brand new to linux, android, and everything else, i always searched by title AND post just to find an answer. No one does nowadays, they think they can just search by title and there answers come true.

Its Ok guys looks like its my fault i havent search that much, i was too impatient. sorry but im still stucked. Ill research again.
thank you for the lesson guys, i learned my lesson. ill post here again when my phone is updated

To be correct, at the home screen, you hit enter two or three times, most people say twice, but all it does is clear the buffer so whatever you enter is on a brand new "line," then you type telnetd, hit enter, then your telnetd daemon starts in the background.

[help]how do turn on the automatic updates

Hello,
sorry i'm a newbie so if the thread is in wrong room,please mod to move it..
i've just bought my G1 a month ago and until now it hasn't received the updates OTA.
after searching how to get the updates for a whole month, then i noticed that it might be my G1 has it automatic updates turned off.
this is because i've bought 2 G1(one for my GF),and she G1 got the updates,even it's already twice. and she got notification about the other applications' updates ready for download. while my G1 never get any notification for the applications..
so i assume my G1 automatic updates setting is turned off,however i can't figure it out how to turn it on..
so anyone can help me please tell me how to turn on the automatic updates..
my phone info:
G1
firmware version 1.0
baseband version 62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29
kernel version 2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0 android [email protected] #6
build number kila-user 1.0 TC4-RC30 116143
thank you very much for the help
It sounds like you are not even using cupcake yet,
you could greatly benifit from a cynagon rom or the like.
also they are based off ADP1 so should be immune to the auto updates
But i want the new updates.. especially the emoticon.. there's no emoticon in the old version..
i'm new in this forum so i haven't read all the thread(maybe it will take forever>_<) but from what you said it seems that the cupcakes has many minus points..
But still i really want to send sms with emoticons>_<
how to remove this immune to automatic then..?
You can flash rc29 and wait to see if you get the update. But what the other poster was saying is just root your phone and go to one of the custom roms. You'll prolly be more happy doing that considering it has everything that the t mobile roms have plus more.
if i flash it,does it will get the android become factory reset?
okay then, i'll wait for this answer first,if the answer is no,then i'll flash it,but if the answer is yes. is there any way i can get the emoticons for the sms?
thx for the answer
First thing first: You don't know what you want.. automatic updates are NOT what you want as the provider takes over your phone. Root it and install updates manually.
search around for the official t-mobile cupcake update, should be posted somewhere on this forum. Flash that and you will probably start getting ota updates faster.
i just want to know one thing again..
when i flash my phone,will it be a restore default setting? because my phone isn't factory unlocked and i'll lose the phone function if i restore it to default-.-
please anyone can answer this and i'll thank you and close this thread^_^
pskay,after i read all over the forum,i know the update is not as good,so i'll try to root it,but please answer my Q so i won't be an idiot losing my phone>_<

I'm kinda confused what you just said. If your saying your phone is unlocked and want to know if you flash if your phone will become locked back to T-Mobile. If that is the question then your answer is it will still be unlocked. The sim unlock has nothing to do with it. You will be fine.
yups,you saw through me
thx very much for the answer..
i'll flash it right away

Dude, youre not writing a formal letter to your boss here...
push and hold youre camera button while turning on your phone... supply the information on that screen..
btw..are you trying to telnet to your phone through USB? if so, you'll be trying for a long time and you CLEARLY dont know what you are doing so I would stop trying to root your phone before you end up with a brick...
noob u skipped the step where its says Press Enter telnedd Enter or something close to that...
And post int the right forum knucklehead!
FOLLOW THE STEPS CLOSELY!
# Download recovery.img or the new version by Amon recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img and copy it to your SD card (see the previous instructions on how to copy from your computer to your Phone's SD card).
# Download the Hard SPL and copy the zip file to the SD card.
# All files must be on the root of your SD card.
# Restart your phone. Wait for your phone to start up fully and show the home screen.
# After your phone starts up, hit the enter key twice, type "telnetd" and press enter. (Yes, it will start up a contact search, don't worry. Just type it.)
# Download an Android "Telnet" application from the Market and connect to localhost.
# If you connect successfully, you will have a root prompt "#".

With all that attitude... you tell me you try to telnet to your phone... I asked you " are you trying to telnet through USB " because you can't ..USB doesnt have a com port but a SERIAL/DEBUG cable does. I'm telling you that if you are this confused then you shouldnt be trying this cause you can make your phone a paper weight.. You know to weigh down papers, no longer functional, garbage. Anyways, dont come here asking for help and use fowl language in the process cause people will laugh as you cry, I will at least .
Is it wrong I keep coming back in here hoping to see him with a brick?
what is wrong..
Any way people I'm so sorry, my be you get my wrong but its ok,
I Grateful your help.
Thanks.

LG 4xHD not registered

I have just managed to root my old LG P880/4xHD using advice from this forum. Thought I would try on an old phone first. One reason I tried is because I cannot update Android via the usual About phone, Software updates, Check now for updates. The Android version installed is 4.0.3. I am in Australia and it is possible the phone is an overseas model (got it from a friend in LG). Has "Not for Resale" stamped inside the back cover. When I try to update Android, I get an error message "Registered Error - Your device is not registered yet." I had hoped rooting would get around this but it hasn't. Have looked up old forum posts and there is talk of using .kdz files and all sorts of other things. Can anyone help me get around this registration issue but please be aware I am a novice and most of the older posts I read, I couldn't understand so simple explanations please. Thanks.
What you have is developer or test device and it is a bit different from normal ones. Try googling more but you will have hard time....

Could it be that it has overseas firmware, I read in a two or three year old post that this can happen but there was a way to get around this.

Its a year old phone, its not like its the nexus one or samsng galaxy s2...
Try flashing 4.12 with kdz. Google is your friend, try kdz flash 4.1.2 Optimus 4x hd.
Funny thing, when I bought my phone, only google asked me to register the phone, the usual Google Play thing. SO what do you exactly mean with REGISTER?
i think the whole phone isn't registred by LG for consumers, like dimi89 said it has to be a dev device. they aren't registred and cannot be updated/used the normal way. the serial number of this phone isn't present in the LG databases i think. Just flash kdz and everything is fine. You know that you don't get any support or warranty on that phone but you should know that.

[Q] Update error message

I have just moved this question here from the General section, hope that's the right move.
