[Q] Trouble with RC3 update

Neep help!!! Can someone help me upgrade my g1 from cyanogenmod v6.0.0(first version of 6) to the experimental version 6.0.0 RC3... i am a rookie at all of this... i am missing a step... v6 works ok, but wont upgrade to rc3...i get an error on all 3 attempts........ 2nd, what radio am i suppose to use.. 2.22.19.26I or 4.06.00.12.7,....... 3rd i dont see adobe flash player on the android market... i got it going up until the rc3 update

If you have 6.0 RC1 installed already and it's *working*, you have all the proper supporting packages. Just flash the RC3 from recovery, then the new tiny GApps file. For the G1, no new radio has been required for any CM6 development.

The Offical Why My Wifi Doesnt Work Thread

so before any of us have to answer this question again please read this thread
so with dzo's port of the newest kernel he started including a wlan.ko compatible with the newer 2.6.32.nbh's into his builds. this left small fragmentation issue with people still using the older kernel
so when you use android on any of the phones in our project your nbh/ zImage is where your kernel is
so you have 2 options for your .nbh/zImage their are
2.6.25 (older kernel)
2.6.32 (newest kernel)
the older 2.6.25 kernels are available on dzo's site (should be a link to it in the first post of this thread) the last one he made was 26-07-2010 (what i use on my touch)
the newest kernels 2.6.32 are avalible for download from the kaiser kernel thread
if using a 2.6.25 kernel you need an update for the wifi this is attached to this post
now those instructions are assuming you have a kaiser if you have a polaris you need the wifi update for it reguardless the one for the 2.6.32 kernel that is also attached
for older polaris kernels i am not sure where the wifi update is for it but a forum search should find it easily if you know what your looking for
and lastly if your on a vogue, wifi will never ever work ever so stop asking
i think that should cover it if i missed anything everybody feel free to chime in (also if this could get stickied that be great)

Good stuff, glad to get that off your chest?

Haha does it show?

perfectly working

This should be stickied tbh. This question is one that pops up the most followed by questions about .nbh's. Such as how do I edit them, how do I use a vogue rom on my kaiser, etc.

Mind awfully if I link this in my mini-faq, since it's definitly a frequently asked question

please do, i wrote this for the intent of not having to answer it again so if people use the FAQ like they should to start it will make for way less hassles

well it's sitting at near 7000 views, so it's getting looked at
Just thought it would help keep it from getting buried

Help my WIFI doesn't work!
Just kidding
Thank you for organizing all of the answers in one place.

Sorry for bothering you but i can't install this update.
I just get "failed to extract" message after each attempt.
Hope someone can help me to solve this problem.
I've got kaiser with .25 kernel installed on it, system stored on nand and data on ext2.

Did you open the zip you downloaded or try to. flash it as is, if you flashed it as is that's your problem

Hi,
I am having problems getting any Android ROM to have working Wifi.
I have tried several different ROMs along with the corresponding Kaisimg.nbh generated using the NBH Editor and have tried applying the Wifi update after testing the 'virgin' install. Still no success.
I have an UK O2 Stellar. Could someone tell me a combination of NBH and ROM that has working Wifi (with or without the fix).
edit : just fixed by using the NBH from DZO's site instead of the Editor default.

Extract wifi update zip file.
Copy androidupdate.tgz to Andboot Folder on your SD Card
Enter Android install menu
Select Install Update
Select Fix Permissions
Quit the menu and check wifi connectivity

Sorry for pushing this thread...
I had Fat Free Rom running for some months and now wanted to switch to an newer one. But I can't get WiFi working.
I tried:
Scoot Cyanogenmod RLS6
Thoughtlesskyle's Not So Super Froyo RLS18
New KAISER ROM Valentine 1.0.2
Krazy-Killa's Kernel Release - RLS5.9.1.2 Alpha
I also updated the Radio to
1.70.19.09 and now 1.71.09.01
and suggested or newest Kernels.
Furthermore I tried ALL fixes for WiFi I could find in this forum like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848921
http://www.ziddu.com/downloadlink/13294643/androidupdate-unpack-me.rar (from valentine)
and of course the updated linked here.
What's wrong with my Kaiser? WiFi never worked at first offence in Android and even with FatFree I needed to fix it (forgot how I did ^^, guess with new Kernel)

did you use the update with the Krazy-Killa kernel before posting?

What do you mean? ^^
I downloaded this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980551 and used atools to get "RLS 5.9.1.2 NBH.7z" and "HAReT Kernel Files.tar" into 1 file. Afterwards I flashed it.

im on the cache kernel 2.6.32 and im having problems with wifi. everytime i try to turn it on it says error
wifi worked fine in the super froyo, but it doesnt now that im on the dzo rom. i tryed to install the update from the cache kernel rar file and it failed to exract. its a androidupdate.tar file

Darkyy's Q&A

Darky Q&A
It seems that a pinned Q&A for Darky is missing here.
I have been using Darky 8.1 and just recently decided to give 9.3 a try. One of the things I have liked about Darky is that that the version of 2.2.1 on it supports bluetooth voice dial. I have a BlueAnt S4 in my car, and although it does not voice dial 100% perfectly, it's still worth using. (the rest of the 2.2.1 roms I have tried that do not support bluetooth handsfree)
Okay, here is my question: on Darky 8.1, going to Settings - Display - Wallpaper -Lock screen wallpaper - Gallery ... would result in->
Sorry!
The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
[Force close]
I seem to remember the initial update to 9.0 (or 9.1) listed that this was fixed. I just got 9.3 running last night, and this still results in a force close. Does Darky have a forum to post this kind of thing, where the developers might see it?

Okay, Swype just expired.
"Your trial period has ended. Please upgrade your copy of Swype."
I am on Darky 9.3 extreme captivate edition. Any fix?

Same problem here, also on Darky 9.3 extreme cappy. I've tried reflashing the captivate swype file, restoring a previous back up, and installing the newest beta. No dice on all 3 accounts.
This doesn't seem to be a problem with just Darky though, and poking around the site it doesn't look like it is exclusive to the Captivate either.

Darky's 9.3 phone not receiving calls
Once again I would have posted in Darky thread in android development if I could..
Ever since I have installed Darky's my phone has had problems receiving calls and will often say "simcard removed from phone please reboot". Today I got a new simcard because I thought that may be the problem but I tested and it still doesn't work. My friend rung me and as the call comes through my phone loses service and the call gets cut instantly and slightly later it'll pop up saying simcard removed please reboot phone. Is anyone else having this problem? Maybe it's time to go to Cyanogen Mod..

Did you ever restore data with Titanium Backup after you installed Darky's?

Yup I restored everything that was on my old rom Cognition

That's your problem. I used to have the same problem. Your phone settings is different between the two ROMs. You should typically ONLY restore app data. Not the system data.
Try going into back into TiBu, then find 'Phone' and click on 'Wipe data'. Hopefully that'll make your calls work again. If not, you might need to reflash Darky's.
System data backups really don't work well between different ROMs (and even different versions of the same ROM).
P.S. Nice to meet another NZer btw.

Oh I see, yeah that makes sense, I asked a friend if I should restore everything I backed up and he wasn't sure so I just restored them all anyway. Now I'm not sure if I should reflash Darky's or move to Cyanogen Mod.

I would try the 'Wipe data' thing first before I try any flashing though!

Upgrade from 9.2 to 9.3 help
In the dev thread, it says you should flash a captivate kernal and modem before installing 9.3. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a guide to flashing modems/kernals.
Just kinda worried cause I have read so much about people bricking their phones when putting the wrong kernal/modem combo together. I noticed on the Darky app it has options already there, so do I have to downlad the kernal seperately, or did it come with the app, or does the app download it from somewhere?
I am afraid that if I flash the modem first, then reboot it won't match the kernal and I will get stuck.
Thanks!

You can flash a Modem in Recovery just like you Flash a ROM or Kernel. If you happen to Flash a wrong Modem it won't cause any problems other than you won't get Cell Service. I am presently using the New znkp1 modem and it doing Great on my Cappy with 9.3 Darky and SuckerPunch/Voodoo Kernel.

Yeah.. Use No Kernel/No Modem in DarkyRom Configurator app and do as RonH54 said!

Just letting you know that in the Darky Rom Configurator App, if u enable LockScreen Wallpaper, it would use Samsung Gallery which has a battery draining bug. Hence it is an option in the Darky app before flashing.
If you really want to use it, enable it and then flash. Or I'll just work on disabling that menu option.

Don't know if I'm too late on this but...the modem/kernel combo included has been working good for me; no need to change it. Like rickysa2000 said, don't select a modem/kernel using Darky's Configurator when you flash 9.3.
My only SMALL issue has been when going into APPS and sometimes they won't scroll for maybe two/three seconds.
But it's still my favorite ROM so far (though it's only my fourth). Especially impressed with the dev's attitude and willingness to help!!!

[ROM] Darkyy's 10.0 Gingerbread!
I was just in the i9000 forum and Darkyy said he will have a flashable rom on friday!!! I hope we can get this ported for the Cappy.
Edit: looks like beta 3 is already available for the i9000. Got so excited I impulse posted...

i do not think the port will be coming anytime soon. Without source you can not have a captivate kernel. You can flash i9000 but no back button, and screen rotation, head phone jack, etc

Hey I was confused by that as well when I flashed CM 9 on my Samsung Galaxy S2 The solution to this problem is simple. Go to this site on your phone and download the Google apps (Including playstore) that correlates with the version of CM you are running. I was unable to leave a link in my reply because I am new to this site but a simple google search of "Gapps" will take you to the "Goo.im" Site where you can download the google applications. The site also features an app (APK file) that will allow you to download the apps straight to your phone.
To open these files you must flash them in clockwork recovery mod. I hope this helps. Take care.

tesco galaxy mini

Hello folks
Im enjoying my Gs3 lately but my step daughter isnt enjoying her galaxy mini so i swapped my ported wave 1 and shes loving it lol anyway i now have this galaxy mini can i update the software by porting the phone or does it need to be unlocked from tesco first? its asking for a network lock control key? i can dismiss as there is an option to dismiss and play about with the phone its currently android version 2.3.5 build number "GINGERBREAD ,XWKS7" im in ireland thanks

there's no need to unlock network or bootloader. as you're already on gingerbread, just flash cwm with odin and then pick your poison (rom) you can find all tutorials and guides somewhere around without any problems, just don't ever use rom manager, it tends to brick galaxy mini when you flash cwm with it.

i have cyanogenmod 7 on the mini now but do i need 10.1 to have google playstore? i want to get some apps etc
edit update
OK i have to do this "Optional: Place any supplemental packages (eg Google Apps or kernel) .zip file(s) on the root of the SD card."
which over looked in the install guide so here goes the 10.1 attempt lol

oh my brain lol i had cm-7 flashed on the samsung mini and was working away fine but no google play store
and only android keyboard so i realised i needed other zip files to have other features so i found these tass-recovery-cwm.tar
cm-7-20130201-NIGHTLY-tass.zip
Samsung_Keyboard_CM7_En-It-Es-Pt.zip
Trans-Soft-Buttons-Nightly-08192012.zip
gapps-gb-20130109-signed.zip
when i reflashed the phone etc the phone firstly ended up with no keyboard despite having the android keyboard selected when i go into language and keyboard settings it backs up to the main menu so i tried again and now its stuck in some kind of boot loop.
ive put this stock rom (MJKT3_annson08) on now and it seems fine but can anyone advise whats happened with my cm-7 setup which was fine the first time but as i said i only had android keyboard and no play store etc the fix seemes easy but its not working for me thanks

i guess that the keyboard you flashed was faulty, and to have play store and such you need to flash gapps_gb package instead of samsung keyboard, try downloading swype
