Ive been flashing roms for some time, though this is my first attempt on the captivate.
Followed the instructions np.
Using rom manager backed up my stock rom.
made sure it saved to sd.
used titanium made sure all apps were backed up.
downloaded cogs newest version.
opened rom manager selected flash for captivate.
turned phone off.
rebooted into rom manager
wiped phone via directions.
selected cog via sd card
now Ive been sitting at the installing update window for roughly 20 minutes without the progress bar moving at all...
any advice?
I did just do a battery pull and it seems that im back to att stock. No rom.
ive just tried running it again and I just sit at installing update...
I did have ryan zas oclf on prior and I dont know if I removed. however since Im back to stock now shouldnt it be gone?
Wouldnt be able to prevent it now would it?
Been there done that
Usb debugging, enable it
Simple mistake man, no big deal
From a phone
Well turning on usb debug wasnt it but i did reinstall oclf and it shows its still active batteries just to low to remow waiting...
Ok any othet ideas? Oclf says its not inthe one running its a different one. Guess ill try to reflash agafin and install anyone else got an idea?
Finding
opening
installing
then it just sits forever
anyone?
Try to download the file again, it may have been corrupted during download
Edit...not clear are you booting into recovery, selecting the rom zip file, etc or actually rebooting phone and going into rom manager?
You need to boot into recovery and select the zip there if you are not doing it that way
Correct im in recovery and selecting it.
Download the stock ODIN 1 click and flash that then re-root and install ROM manager and then flash COG
sadly ive done this also.
used odin one click last night went back to stock then rooted again and tried and it still just sat at the installing line for an hour.
something is not working and I cannot figure it out.
1. make sure you move the zip (as you downloaded it, don't unzip) to the root of your sdcard.
2. open rom manager, flash CWM if you haven't already.
3. using rom manager, backup your current stuff under a name you'll recognize
4. turn off phone. boot into recovery
5. if it shows the 2e or 3e recovery, choose the 2nd option: "install update.zip", this should open up CWM recovery
6. from CWM recovery, go down to "install zip from sdcard"
7. then: "choose zip from sdcard"
8. then you select the zip that you moved to your sdcard in STEP 1.
that should do it.

every step done. Even a odin flash to stock prior. Locks up every time at installing update, it will sit there all night.
Thought I was reading on Cog's latest build a few people having issues installing using the latest ROM Manager and CWM.
I think this is the older version of the update.zip and maybe it will install Cog.
Also you can bypass the whole rooting/dowloading ROM Manager prior to flashing if you use this update.zip.
Odin 1-Click back to stock.
Put in the update.zip to your SDCard
Reboot into recovery.
Run the update.zip under recovery.
It will do a short reboot back to the screen.
Run it once more and you should be in Clockwork Recovery advanced menu.
Attempt to install the Cog.zip again and see if it works.
Unfort I'm running Assonance's latest build and didn't run into any issues.

Check out the wiki thread for adam's Axura ROM. The process should be the same, just use the ROM of your choice. I'd try another download/different ROM, there may be an issue with your download, or a bug in the ROM possibly?

I screwed up before by forgetting to move the zip to the root of my sdcard. I don't quite understand why this is necessary, but I can confirm that it is.

Two suggestions - not sure if you've already attempted these.
1. Have you tried flashing an older version of Cognition? Possible that there is just something silly about your setup that is preventing you from flashing this specific version.
2. Along the same lines, have you tried flashing to Cognition using one of the Odin flashable ROMs? I'm personally a bit mystified by these, but I'm just a wimpy Mac user.
Older versions of Cognition here.
The version of CWM rom manager downloads should be okay. A master clear and stock fhlash should help

Hi,
I just wanted to update manually to Gingerbread.
But I am truly confused with all the version jibber jabber...
My Android version is 2.2.1, Build Number FRG83D and Kernel is 2.6.32.9-g6624e39 [email protected] #1.
My phone is from german Vodafone Company. Maybe it is because of the language? But I do not care about it, use only English anyhow.
Can I update?
Obviously I can not with the just released file, cause I get a "cannot verify".
Or do I have to wait for another file and why?
Thanks!
Do you have Vodafone or Stock Google Android installed? This update works not on the vodafone version.....
You're not even on the latest version of Froyo, of course you won't be able to use the Gingerbread update.

it seems to me that you are not on the stock android ROM, but you are on a special vodaphone version of the ROM. if this is true, i highly suggest that you get rid of that ROM. that means you should root your phone, gain superuser acces, and install ROM manager.
ROM manager will now let you easily flash a variety of ROMs, just like an official OTA update, and including the stock ROM. so from ROM manager you could switch to stock if you wish, which would let you upgrade to gingerbread. or you can switch to cyanogen, or any other ROM you see in the list.
by far its the best thing to do.
Okay this are the steps I figured so far, if I follow them will I be able to update to Gingerbread?
Any step I forgot?
- Root with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959672 (yeah I'm on ubuntu)
- then I "download the FRG83 system image from http://developer.htc.com and use fastboot to flash over the system and boot images"
- then I run the update the Gingerbread update

That is what I had to do to get mine working...
So you may help me out cause i'm stuck again.
I have rooted via SuperOneClick now, cause the linux one did not work, blame it on eclipse...anyway.
I installed RomManager as suggested above, but there is no FRG83 to choose from.
So i downloaded the FRG83 from HTC and choose that with RomManager. But it does not install, just backups then reboots and nothing changed.
I also tried to do it manually but if i go to fastboot i can not do anything.
There are only Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader and Power Down.
I named the downloaded zip (http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/signed-passion-img-FRG83_0923.zip), root.zip and placed it in the root of the sd-card.
What am i missing?

I downgraded to stock from my laptop.
You go into fastboot on the device and then on your computer run commands like:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
.
Fastboot in this case is used to restore the stock images from your computer to the device.
You then need to re-apply all the updates.
Just flash the full stock Gingerbread ROM from the dev section. Easy peasy.

Hi all,
I have exactly the same problem as DarsVaeda, and also the same specs:
Nexus One (Vodafone NL)
Android version 2.2.1
Build Number FRG83D
Kernel version 2.6.32.9-g6624e39 [email protected] #1
HBOOT-0.35.0017

I've been trying to find a solution for the problem but trying to update to FRG83G gives me the same error message:
Finding update package…
Opening update package…
Verifying update package…
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed

if someone has a solution, please post it here
I believe Vodafone tweak their ROMs, so you can't install the update. You will need to revert your phone to complete stock, or root and flash files through a custom recovery, our unlock the bootloader and fastboot flash...

Yep he's right.
I am on gingerbread now.
I rooted with super one click.
Then installed rom manager.
Flash a custom recovery (ie. at the bottom).
Downloaded stock FRG83G from HTC.
Booted into the recovery and installed the rom.
Afterwards I could update to gingerbread.
No downsides yet.
You can also flash the stock gingerbread rom now. Saves you one step.
It's linked here in the forum.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
So there is no way around it? if I want Gingerbread on my Nexus I have to root it or wait for Vodafone.
I'm unsure about rooting, never done it before and I'm a noob in this field, but I really, really want the update
If you don't mind, DarsVaeda, and in the light of your success with that method, could you maybe post an even more detailed step by step instructions of how you did it?
Sure.
First of all I lost all data that was not saved remotely. Like SMS or application data from applications that do not remotely store data. Keep that in mind! But it's worth it.
I backup SMS to my google account anyway and delete them after some time from my phone, so I was fine with that.
As far as I know now you do not void your warranty if you root with "SuperOneClick". The root will also be gone after you flashed the rom. On my phone there is only a program called "superuser" left, but it's not usable since the phone is not rooted anymore.
Step by step:
before get all of this:
- get and install the USB Android drivers on your WindowsOS explained here (and download): http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
- install "RomManager" from the market on your phone
- get "SuperOneClick" here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
- get the Gingerbread Stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396
- rename the stock rom to "root.zip" and place it on the SD-Card, top level
1. on your phone goto Settings -> Applications -> Development -> check "USB debugging"
2. connect phone with USB to your Windows machine (drivers above should be installed and Windows should recognize the phone)
3. fire up SuperOneClick and click "root", wait until it tells you it wants to run a test
3a. if it fails to root the first time, just hit root again (I had to do it, after second try it worked)
4. restart the phone after it is rooted
5. back in Android start RomManager
6. in RomManager flash a custom recovery, I took the one at the bottom (something with alternative recovery, second last entry)
6a. it might want you to install additional software, allow it
6b. it will ask you for rights, allow them
7. after the flash is finished boot into the recovery (second entry from top of rommanager)
8. in the custom recovery navigate to the point where you can apply an update with a zip file (in the one i took it was the second entry I guess)
9. after you choose the entry you can choose the zip, choose the "root.zip" and apply
10. now the installation should start with verifying and then actually applying the rom
11. restart the phone
11a. if you are now stuck in the start animation (the one with that floating x-thing) and it does not go on you have to reset all you data (factory reset)
11b. power off the phone and start it with pressing the power button and volume down
11c. a screen appears, navigate to "recovery" and hit the power button (you have to wait till it loads something, then you can press that)
11d. in the new screen there should be an option called factory reset, if not it is like "wipe all data" -> that's when you loose all your data (I had to do it)
11e. reboot the phone
12. Gingerbread should boot now
Feel free to ask any questions if you have. Hopefully I can help.
I did not use the stock rom directly, guess that saves you one step.
If it does not work, but I guess so you have to do the same as above but install this rom first:
http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/signed-passion-img-FRG83_0923.zip
After you installed it boot the phone and check if the version is correct: Settings -> about phone.
If so get the Gingerbread update (http://android.clients.google.com/p...signed-passion-GRI40-from-FRG83G.81304b2d.zip) and place it on the SD-card as "update.zip".
Boot to the recovery, same steps as the factory reset. There will be an option "apply update.zip". Use that and after it you will also have Gingerbread.
Wow! thank you so much for the step by step guide, I really appreciate it now I feel more confident to attempt the feat of updating.
You don't need to root to update.
Follow the wiki guide to unroot/restore using the passimg method for FRG33, then install the updates to FRG83, 83D, 83G, then finally Gingerbread...

I've never flashed a rom before. I currently have stock froyo with the paragon kernel i flashed using the app sgs kernel flasher. I have clockwork mod rom manager, I created a backup of my current rom. So then I tried installing the serendipity rom from the sd card but i get an error message. I read on the sticky on how to flash a custom ROM you need to use ODIN and flash back to stock 2.1 then do a master wipe and re root it and stuff.
Their link to download ODIN is broken so I don't know how to get it. And is there really no other way to flash it besides doing a master wipe and using ODIN?
flash to stock and master clear is not needed. what IS needed are specifics on WHAT error message you get when trying to flash the rom you want
The error message is
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature"
"E: signature verification failed"
"Installation aborted"
Then it brings be to the blue menu so i just select reboot system now
bad download, re-download rom.
May be completely off, but it doesn't sound like you're actually in clockwork mod recovery, but rather stock recovery.
But here's the post with the one click odin with mirrors and I personally would suggest useing it since I generally like to stick to as clean a flash as I can:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Second, I don't know if you've ever seen MobileTechVids tutorial on how to flash custom roms, but I suggest you watch the full series first if you haven't already.
here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsafJ-9uRqk
I watch the series and try and stick as close to the tut as I can when I'm unsure (or the one provided by the Rom maker as they know what's best for their rom)...
One suggestion, when flashing Serendipity disconnect your phone from cable right before the actual flashing (gave me a glitch in which I couldn't mount storage via usb). Other than that, read read read. I feel it's all I do when it comes to this stuff, but proper research is indispensible.

Ok I got the stock rom flashed back and rooted it using one click. Now for some reason I can't reboot into clockwork recovery mode. I flashed it successfully. So i click on reboot into recovery and nothing happens. I try clicking on install room from sd card and that doesnt work either
Power off, hold 3 buttons att screen will come on. Keep holding. Screen will go off. Keep holding. Screen comes on again let off the power button but keep the volumes held, this will boot you into stock recovery, since you said you flashed cwm already I'm assuming you mean with rom manager, so the update.zip should be on your sdcard, so just reinstall packages twice and you should boot into cwm.

On serendipities main "download" page they have instructions to install. In those instructions is a link to a file you can download. Place that file along with the serendipity 6.3.zip file in the root of your sd card. Use the " 3 button" technique or Rom managers "reboot to recovery" option to get into stock recovery. Hit "reinstall packages" once/possibly twice. That will put you into clockwork mod recovery. Select install zip from sd card, find the serendipity6.3.zip and click power to flash. Confirm. And after it does some stuff it will ask you to reboot. Upon reboot it will as if you want to enable lagfix. Hit plain "Yes". Watch it do its thing and viola...
You have the "dirty" way of how to flash serendipity... But first I please ask you to spend atleast a day reading this forum or others and understanding these instructions and the reasons behind them.
followed instructions off the website and still doesn't work
I was running 2.2 and have done a lot of reading a video watching (thanks Mobile Tech videos) and finally conjured the guts to flash serendipity.
I flashed stock using odin...that went great. Copied the update.zip to sd card. Installed zip twice in 2e recovery. Copied Serendipity.zip file to sd card. started in recovery mode, selected "install from sdcard" selected serendipity.zip file and it seemed to go through that process rather quickly. Then I selected reboot and then everything just started FCing all over the place. Can't even load the stock that I had on there. I don't know what to do. Help please. I can get it back into recovery mode. Tried doing the wipe data/factory reset. That did help either. Help please. I really want to try serendipity. Thanks again in advanced.
Did you run a restore using TiBu at all? Or was it just a straight flash from stock to Serendipity?
Plus, were you running a phone that came with 2.2 out of the box? Or did you upgrade to stock Froyo yourself?

I did run TB and I had originally flashed up to froyo (took me all night one night) and then went through the process I explained and hit the dead end. I finally was able to get odin to read the phone and flash back to stock. It was a learning process. I realized that I needed not only the Serendipity_6.3.zip file but ALSO the kitchen file to included with it. That wasn't in the directions I don't think. Finally got it all on there. I love it now. I appreciate everyone's help. Any word on a how-to for Bluedipity?

These are the instructions on how to get .901. I did this, this past weekend and royally screwed up my phone. I ended up saving it but it was a process. Follow these instructions very carefully and do this at your own risk. If your rooted I would got to the first link. Follow the instructions and reset your phone, root it using 43v3r root then flash .893, test root then flash .901 test root and it'll work. That's what I did. Two major warnings, 1. Make sure your battery is at 100% (when updating the phone runs off the battery even if it's plugged into the USB. A dead battery will brick your phone and leave you stranded). 2. When I finished every time I reboot I get flash error and have to boot into recovery and choose boot normally to get the phone to come up.
Good luck.

Next Question
I get to part of the instructions for flashing a ZV8 and it says wipe data, so I do a factory reset. Then it says 'install zip from SDCARD.
How do I get the LG revolution to 'install zip from sdcard'?
Is there some boot sequence or is it buried in a menu?
Will the broken out Revo1.1 also Root my phone at the same time?
I'm new to this so please help.
No, you must root and install Clockwork Recovery Mod (CRM) before you can install BrokenOut. Look in the Revolution Android Development forum for instructions on that. You must boot then boot into Recovery, then "wipe data" from there. It is different than doing a factory reset. After that, I believe it says "choose update from sdcard" then you choose the BrokenOut 1.1 zip file and install that.
After rooting and installing CRM, you boot into recovery in the same way you would do a factory reset (hold power and volume-down buttons from power off). When prompted, press the power button twice. Instead of performing a factory reset, it'll start up CRM, where you can perform all of the stuff needed.
