[Q] Problem downloading Roms, Help! - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if this has already been asked, but I am having problems downloading roms... I have been able to download pheonix. Tried to get Firefly, paragon, odin 1 click, and toolbox 2.5. Even paid for a pro account with mediafire to make things easier. And everything is good till the download is almost complete then it fails. gives me an error message saying file type unsupported cant save try again or contact server admin. What do I do?

Are you doing this on your phone or pc

maybe because the connection is time out, and you have to download it again. i suppose you are downloading the rom using your desktop, not your phone.

Yes from my pc

Try out from your phone
Dl astro file manager
Enable download from browser under preferences
Give it a go

Yep. Astro File manager is the best!

What OS and browser are you running?

So i need astro file manager on my phone? Once i do that then open that app, go to preferences and enable download from browser, then i should be able to download it from the link on youtube?

Yes that its correct. I never use my pc except for odin if needed

Thanks for the tip. Just takes so much longer to download through the phone... am itching to check out paragon...
And it is downloading now on my phone. Would still like to be able to download all this stuff to my pc, and store everything there so I dont have a ton of stuff on my sd card....

You can transfer from phone to pc
Don't give up on your pc, this is just another way.
Paragon is a beast

Its weird, i was able to get Phoenix_4.5, and Darkytt3r_7.0.2_BLN_voodooOff, but nothing else in that list of stuff. It seems to go good until right before it is done then fails...uggghhh

Cognition failed again from the pc, I really hope i am successful in getting paragon...

I tried downloading cog rom just now, no problems. If you are using firefox, you can download an add-on called downthemall! and use it as your download manager. it will resume the downloading if the connection is broken.

Thanks guys, download to phone worked. Am running it now. Would still like to figure out the whole pc download issue. am trying it through downthemall, just seems to be going slower than ever before..

New Market 3.0.26

I found this new market, and after trying to install it on my g1 with cm6 it didn't install. Has anyone gotten it to install? Do we need to convert the hdpi graphics to mdpi to get it to work, or do graphics not affect whether or not an installation is successful?
This download worked fine on my NC once I added the ".apk" to the end of the filename, so I know this download works. I mention this fact because there is another download for the new android market that is corrupt.

It has mdpi images in it to, it might require gingerbread though, I dont have ginger on my g1 so I can't say it works on it or not. Try pushing the new market to /system/app and see if anything changes. It might fc if it's not compat with froyo.
im using it on the COS rom
I use it with Froyo by Laszlo. Installed fine with just executing the apk-file from the phone.
I installed it

I'm running COS-DS Rom and simply uploaded the apk file to my Dropbox account from my PC. Opened dropbox on my G1 and downloaded the file. It then prompted me to install the file. Very easy.
does anyone know if i can integrate this new market into a rom, so when you flash it for first time the new market comes stock?

[Q] New to streak!

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am new to the streak 7 but i have used roms and rooted before.
So far i have enabled fastboot and rooted the phone, went off almost without a hitch. . : /
What i would like to do is install a rom that would let me get ride of all the bloatware and maybe give me customization.
I was looking into the ics 4 but for some reason i cant understand the nvflash concept, normally i cant just do this stuff without asking... but i guess since ive been on pain meds all week im just a little slow.
Anyone have any advice on what i should do next to get to the point i would like?
Thanks!
Do you have sim card? If you don't, you should try ics!

There is nothing to figure out.... You put the Streak in APX, mode.... You connect it to the computer. I you manually install the drivers. You double click the. bat file you already have on your PC..... It takes 5 minutes

I guess i should just not even do this, I have it in safe mode, which i guess is APX mode?
It says all the driver are installed. and i dont have a .bat file i have an executable file that came with the nvflash base package.
So when im updating the nvflash drivers, do i have to move the files to the system32 folder or do i just update them using the manual update through the device manager?
When you connect device in apx mode, PC should say, that they havent drivers, and you should manually change drivers from folder in ics zip. Connect you device and try reinstall drivers
is apx mode the same as safe mode?

[Q] Goo alternative?

If you can point me to the exact file download (URL) I will attempt to mirror a copy. I'm not sure if I'd be able to leave it up, but surely I could do so just long enough for you to download the file.

Looking around, I'm guessing it's the following, most recently dated?
http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/testing/cm-10.1-20131121-SNAPSHOT-BLUETOOTH-tenderloin.zip
I've mirrored a copy at the following location:
HTTP: http://www.rootfiles.org/pub/mirror/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/testing/
FTP: ftp://anonymous%40rootfiles.org:[email protected]/pub/mirror/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/testing/
If @jcsullins doesn't approve I'll take it down (and or happily grant him full write access). :]
Wow Thanks a million! Spent days trying all times of night and day to get this. It is, to me, the most stable thing for TP. Two months and hasn't had one issue. This is the newest version. Owe you big time. Don't know how you managed it. But darn happy you did.
HI!

But i always get a "Failed"
I donwloaded from FTP and other Source twice, but still same Error

I am guessing you have a bad download. I was struggling with a ROM and GAPPS update and both had the same error message while using TWRP ("Failed"). What program are you using to the download the zip? Seemed if I used ES File Explore to download it would always Fail. Seemed if I downloaded with my browser (in my case, Next browser) and made sure it did the download correctly, TWRP could correctly install the zip. You can also check the MD5 to make sure it was correctlly downloaded.
Hope this helps.

[Q] [CUSTOM ROMS] Why can't I download anything from the Play Store?

What version of firmware you have now,are you root?It could be that the app you want to download will need to be root,and actually you lost your root.?

I was so desperate that i flashed the original samsung stock 4.3 firmware. Its not rooted anymore and it will not download apps like facebook as well. So it cant be the fault of missing root access.

It shows no error message. It says "wird heruntergeladen" ("downloading" in german) but nothing else happens. It just doesnt download the app.
I now found out that it is possible for me to download anything if i turn off wifi and download it via mobile data. Does this help you?
