Hey Guys,
I hope this is in the right section. I'm having some issues with my rooted G1.
I couldn't get it to update to DRC92 (http://db.androidspin.com/android_developer_display.asp?developerid=21) so i tried following these instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553416) in the hope starting from scratch would solve the issues. I couldn't even get passed the step 7 in the guide as telnet gave a connection refused error.
I'm now stuck on RC7 and every time i try to add a rom i get
Code:
E:No singnature (454 files)
E:Verification failed
I also tried to change the recovery image to cm-recovery-1.4.img to try and install Cyanogen and i got the error "flash_image: not found".
I would prefer to have the official DRC92 rom installed though.
Does anyone have and ideas as to what the problem is and how i can get around it?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best Regards, George
Im confused wether you have root...If you are on XDA your arse better have that HTC device or your looking around the wrong ******* forum.Im guessing your phone is fully stock fresh from th bakery i presume? If you have 1.5 now you better get to finding the one click root or find your way over to cyan wiki for the root guide.I be your arse to clicks and dog that you would be better off having root than stock.Oh yeah i forgot but welcome to xda and you better be gettin that root instead of reading this.Are yo usure you have root? WHat recovery are you changing from? You said you wanted to change it to cyan 1.4 when there are only 2 recovery avail..
Thanks for your reply. Yes i have root, i rooted it using an older guide that i can't find now. The recovery image was recover_testkeys.img.
The recovery image i tried to install is at te bottom of this page http://db.androidspin.com/android_developer_display.asp?developerid=3.
Any ideas?

I am using my Nexus One for a while and there's no issue at all. However, yesterday, I just turned off it and turn on again, it isn't working now, just show me the screen with "X" picture ( like the X digit with four colors ).
I have try to Google and search some original firmware, download it, copy to my SD card with the name update.zip and try to recovery it but always get the error status 7.
I haven't rooted my phone.
Please anyone can help me to fix it ?
Does it say anything more than "Error status 7", some text perhaps?
The FRF91 update from here should work (the HTC-signed one, link). Does it get far enough to give any output in adb logcat?
Thank you. I will doing
I have just download, copy to my microSDHC and try to install it but got error like this:
E:Failed to verify whole-file signature

I am sure that copy to correct path.
The firmware of me is 2.2.1 and I think it's one that make my phone doesn't work. How can I clear it and downgrade to 2.2 ?
Follow the unroot/restore guide from the wiki, using the passimg method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...des_&_Tutorials#Unroot_.2F_Restore_your_Nexus
The zip file you need is linked on the word "here" on step 2. Use the FRG33 zip.

@danger-rat: Thank you for your method, my phone is now working again. I am appreciated about your help
Just out of interest, was your phone a non US one? If so that would explain it. They use different signatures for those updates.

Think you can just use superoneclick root app for computer with phone connected. Can search boards for soc.

Thats to root the phone not unlock it, there is an app in the Captivate Developers forum just search and you will find it.
To unlock the samsung SGH I897 CAPTIVATE,You can use the unlock code.You can buy the unlock code from Online site and unlock it...I suggest the site
Wickedunlock.com there you can buy the code for samsung SGH I879 Captivate.,unlock it.
unlocking captivate
there is two ways to unlock the cappy. The most successful one that i have used multiple times is sgs unlock pro I am not sure if the app is still on the market but you should be able to find it on the web or on the app 4shared
Use Galaxy_s Unlock from the market. Its free and worked for me.
Use this. Remember to back up thaat EFS folder on more than JUST your phone. If by any chance it messes up or something else happends that EFS back up will save you a IMEI rebuild....
Can you ask AT&T?

Unable to Unlock, Unable to root
Hi Guys,
I am trying to unlock my captivate SGH-I897 by myself (not buying a code) and I am having some trouble in doing it. I have done several steps, each time going backwards to a preview requisite but now I am stucked.
First, I downloaded from the market the app Galaxy S Unlock and when I try to see the SIM Unlock code I get error "You have a busybox problem, fix it."
From this app I cant also save the actual efs folder.
Since I saw that error, I download from the market "Busy Box Free" and when I try to install it, I get the error "The su binary was not found on your phone. This application will not work without root", so I said, let's try to root my cell, this is how I got here and found the topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304.
I downloaded that app to my PC, followed the step but when my captivate restarts and enters into Android Sys Recovery and I try to reinstall the packages I get the following:
"--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
And from this point on I dont know what to do.
Basically what I have done is:
Galaxy S Unlock > Busy Box > Root > Stucked....
I try to post in the One Click root/unroot post bu since I am noob, I couldnt.... Hope you can help guys

thanks for the recommendation...
Now I tried to download the update file from here 3w.box.com/shared/jrlqei92q6 and I saved it into my captivate.
Once I had the file in the phone, with Lidia File Manager I moved it from downloads to SD card root. Turned off the phone, entered to recovery and tried to reinstall the packeges and still get the same error
"--Install from sdcard...

Any other clue????

You are on something that isn't 2.1 so you have 3e recovery. The other method I mentioned works on GB so it should work with 3e.

It looks like you have Froyo on your phone, and will need to flash a kernel with CWM/root already baked into it. You'll need Odin or Heimdall (look in the stock rom master collection sticky in the Development section - it's at the end of the first post in that thread), and the Speedmod Kernel. Flash the k13e.tar file, and you should be good to go with no 3e issues.

^ In fact, after checking "about" on settings I realized froyo was the issue.
I thought a was not gonna be able to do what you said, but after looking up and reading the guides and downloading the right kernel I was able to root my cell!!!
Once it got root, I was also able to install busy box free and use Galaxy S Unlock... So I finally got it done!
Thanks bassplayer and jmtheiss!!!
okay so this is my 3rd droid 3 do to defects in the last ones verizon sent me. With the last defective one i got the update OTA and it installed fine but i had to send that device back do to the housing coming off the back.

And update still not going :/
I'm Rooted with for3v3r root, had updated to 5.7.893, then reflashed 5.5.886 but the OTA update won't install (I do receive it though).
I am sooo sick of the 3G drops, what are my options? How can I install this update??
I'm wondering if I took it back to Verizon, showed them that it won't install if they'd replace it? I'm back to totally stock now.

need more information as to why it's failing. In General here there is a thread that has the update in zip format. you can flop that bad boy on the root of your sd and then use traditional recovery (also in that thread) to flash it.
If it fails because of zumo then you just have to download the zumo app and put it in preinstall on your SDCARD.
Where is the update? They have the 5.5.893 update zipped already?? The official one?
I'm not sure why it's failing. I haven't removed any of the "bloat" as far as I know, I'm assuming it has something to do with the 5.7 update.

peep that thread, zip is in the first page. I didn't touch the bloat either, I'm still not 100% sure why I had to do what I did, but when I copied that to my sdcard, put the zumocast apk(rootz or google) in the preinstall folder it worked like a charm.
flashed with default recovery as the thread mentioned states also...
Doesn't work
Still gives me an error.
Someone has had to gone from Leaked 5.7.893 to the OFFICIAL 5.5.893...ANYONE??

"the 5.5.893 OTA update is the same update that we had leaked to us months ago. Compare the kernal and radio file numbers with someone who's just run it to your own. If you properly updated yourself to 5.7.893 before, then you should find you have the same kernal and your radio files are newer. You have no reason to want to downgrade yourself to 5.5.893 as its the same kernal and earlier radios." -- 2def on rootz

no bueno...
just out of curiosity, what error did it give you in stock recovery? I'm in unchartered territory as I was on .866 when i undertook this yesterday, I played with cheesecake but didn't flash...
I'm on the legit path at this point and should be scheduled for ICS next... but am wondering because I was up till like 4AM because I couldn't flash the update..
Here is my error:

go back to stock. then root. copy zumocast to preinstall. flash from stock recovery...
i got that error last night, this was the path I took, but again, I was on .866, not sure how it will differ for you, but I did infact see that exact error at one point.

weird... if you're not on rootzwiki, you should sign up and ask over there, more attention is being given there it seems... I have a feeling youre "stuck" because you took the leak, but I think your about will be the same as my official about... which is also floating around somewhere (not mine but someones)...
like you said though, that would indicate more drops etc.... but that's contrary to other reports

It is checking your kernel for the 886 version ("boot" is the kernel and it is checking the md5). I think you said you were on 5.7.893? So its going to fail since you can not, for now, downgrade to that kernel.
I guess the rumor going around is that the next update will be 5.7.893 and at that point you will be updated to that OTA, and ready for the next update. Also the rumor is, and these are just rumors, that the ICS update will work with any system version.
Frankly I don't see the point in not allowing phones to update. Yes, if you are already updated it won't downgrade, but as far as going from 5.7.893 to the next version, I think they should be allowed. Wouldn't you want all phones to be running with updated kernel/radio/system. All it does is punish those that install leaks for no other reason than getting access early.
Yea even though you went back to 886 it didn't change your kernel. Your are stuck with the kernel that got flashed when you installed the 5.7.893 leak. (Moto is kind of jerky about their bootloader encryption) You cannot flash the 5.5 leak because you have a different kernel than the official. If your Bionic is working ok though its not big deal atm, the word on the street is you will still be able to ICS.
Everything works, just my 3G data drops are HORRIBLE!!
