Hey everyone,
I rooted my nexus one when it was 2.2, now im trying to update to 2.2.1. However the OTA update wasnt taking, it failed and the installation aborted everytime. I search forums and found one saying to factory reset my phone, which i did. Saved everything with titanium backup. Now im stuck with:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Kernal version:2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2 android-build apa26#1
Build nuumber: EPE76
One problem is i do not get an OTA update to upgrade to 2.2 or 2.2.1. Also i did a manual update with signed-passion-FRF50-from-ERE27.1e519a24.zip and it fails and installation aborts. How can i get back to at least 2.2, but preferably 2.2.1.
Also when trying to restore my apps from titanium backup, it tells me my phone is not rooted, but I still see the little "padlock" unlocked when i boot my phone.
Thanks, hope someone can help
John

im assuming that zip wont work because im on build epe 76. Whats the best way from here to get to at least 2.2
It sounds like you need to do some reading. Look at the Nexus One wiki that's linked at the top of this forum. Read everything it has to say, then re-read.
Your questions are answered.
Not to mention the wrong forum. This is development, not Q&A.
Cheers and g/l
wiki page doesnt help at all
just read the wiki page twice, as you said. There is nothing about how to fix this issue. Sooooooooooo.....??????
i have 50+ forums and googled this issue 10+ times, not having any luck....If you cant help can you direct where i can find help????
Lol, the wiki wont show you the exact issue being resolved. You need to think between the lines, do some problem solving. Nobody on this forum is going to spoon-feed you the answer you look for.
Everything I know about the Nexus One (and Android in general) is from these forums. You aren't looking hard enough if you can't find the info you need.
So please, have enough sense next time to at least post in the correct sub-forum, instead of coming in filled with piss and vinegar making a fool of yourself.

1. You haven't given enough information for anyone to help direct you.
2. It sounds like your bootloader is unlocked, but you lost root. Or maybe your recovery (whichever that is) won't allow an unsigned zip.
3. But once again, this is the wrong forum. This is not the place for you to go into further detail. All it will do is piss people off who are trying to work on development, but have to wade through beggar spam. So please stop.
this is the wrong thread for what you need...mod needs to move it. Take it easy guys, he's just looking for help.
If you have Terminal Emulator from Market installed, type this:
at the $ type su ($su)
it should change to # sign
at # type whoami (#whoami)
it should replay back with "root"
If not, you have lost root and you will need to re-root your device. Please open a thread in Q&A to ask further questions.
I rooted my wifes captivate with superoneclick and tried to get it to allow non market apps and it keeps saying it failed. so i went in with an db editor and changed the 0 to a 1 as the instructions say. When i try to go into titanium back up and restore her contacts it says the phone is set to not allow non market apps. wife is pretty up set can anyone please help
Please use more descriptive thread titles.
i think it is pretty descriptive i need help. now if someone would please give me some suggestions to try instead of being a hole about it that would be nice
i agree your thread title sucks, but in Titanium Backup, have you clicked on menu, more, reload application?

I will tell you what i think... first off that kind of language is not allowed on the forums and you can easily get banned for it. and seccond go into settings/ applications/ development and tick off unknown sources. also if all you have done is root her contact app will not be gone

ATT captivates do not have 'unknown sources' option on stock roms.......thank you ATT
that option is not there ive have already looked. i have the htc inpire and it does. i tried to reload the app and that did not work. when i rooted it first all her info was there. when i tried to flash a rom thats when it went south. i couldnt get it to the screen i needed so i clicked on clear data and thats when i wiped her info on the phone. i had previously backed up her info with titanium backup so that i could restore the info. froyo is running on her phone as well. since the stock rom does not allow non market apps. can i get help with flashing a rom. when i boot into recovery and try to flash i just get the first screen i cant get to the screen needed to flash. ive tried flashing CWM and it says it is successful but when i try to reinstall packages it keeps saying its aborted and will not proceed. any thoughts on this issue? i edited my first post sorry. i just hate people who are cynical and dont give any suggestions.
lets do this again today:
Captivate 3e SIGNATURE VERIFICATION ERROR
search those terms in google
or here, let me do that for you

seriously, 10 minutes in the forums and you would have had this answer....
Please use the search function before opening a new thread. If you wold have then your wife wouldnt be upset with you in the first place.

Is there a list of system apps that can be removed saftly without issue??
Easy. Don't touch system apps that are google related or service related.
Can I remove the stock messaging app (I already have Go sms Pro)
Same question for stock camera & stock dialer?
Go SMS recommends not to remove the Stock SMS App to let it work correctly, you should know that when you looked through Go SMS Settings.
Apart from that, this list might help.

So, the quick post here, is that this list says it's ok to delete "search applications provider" and I'm pretty sure I just screwed up my phone doing that.
now, the longer post in case someone notices this and can give me some sweet advice:
I just rooted my Galaxy Ace S5830l, then added Link2SD to remove the bloatware. found this site, and this post in a google search for what .apk's i could delete. was going down this list trying to use common sense and the descriptions, when i got to "search applications provider" aka applicationsprovider.apk and the list said it was ok to delete it. described it as "Fetches the list of applications installed on the phone to provide search suggestions. " which didn't seem all that important.
like many of the applications i'd deleted, it caused a reboot of the phone, but this time, after the animation, in got stuck on the pulsing "samsung" and never moved past it. I had no idea what was going on. browsing this site, I'm guessing that's what you guys call a "boot loop"
i removed the battery to try and restart it, but it just stopped in the same place. I tried to reboot from the recovery window, but same thing. once, I decided to try a factory reset, and when i did that it seemed to come back (in spanish b/c i've got the latin version of the phone) but when this happened I didn't have access to anything at all. the clock and signal were on, but i couldn't even get to settings to change the language. I tried another reboot, and ended up back in the samsung pulsing logo. now, even the factory reset doesn't seem to get me back to that point.
browsing the site here, I've now seen a FAQ that seems to imply it would have been smart to download clockworkmod, though i'm not even sure that's true (seems like that's for people installing ROMs?) I'm not kidding when i say i'm in over my head. I've rooted phones before and that's about it. everyone posting help for people in a bootloop seem to be helping people who intalled a bad .apk, not deleted an important one.
I'm doing my best here, trying to learn what all these things are (CWM, Odin, ROMs etc) to see if there's a solution that should be obvious, but if anyone's got any help and can point me in the right direction, i'd appreciate it.
GUIDE!

I dont want to say much, i think i just give you the link below. You need times to understand. im sorry if im not quite helpful. Simple procedure: Root, install CWM, and flash Custom Rom!... IF you decide not to use the custom rom, but just want to use the original stock, flash new firmware to override your old system. The link below provides you everything about rooting and flashing Rom. Hopefully, it will works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12874680#post12874680
yes, that is helpful. I have my phone rooted, but don't have clockwork mod, and while i can get my phone to boot, it won't show any applications or let me do much of anything. i can't open the dialer or even settings to change it to english, but i do receive phone calls.
I'm hoping that since it's rooted i'll be able to flash a ROM onto it with Odin. I'm completely new to this, so I guess it's a trial by fire. I suppose there is a chance that i'll be able to figure out how to add the .apk i deleted back to the phone without flashing a new ROM, but that seems unlikely.
I'm currently reading through an Odin how-to in the SIII forum, but i've browsed the link you gave, and i'll give it my full attention next, learning bit by bit.
thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Fixing without odin could be possible but wouldn't make any sense because you've already wiped your data with factory reset, right?
So odin is the best option for you!

BTW: That link from "Aces5" is for the s5830 and not s5830I, be aware because you could have bricked your phone!
More info about odin for s5830I here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552792
You can remove email app, unnecessary widgets, launcher ( have another one prior to this to back you up ! ), some Google apps like maps, talk back, gmail, talk/hangouts, thinkfree office, Swype beta or/& the the stock Samsung keyboard. etc.

ok, i have the s5830l not s5830i, which my understanding was, that i should use the s5830 ROM and not the s5830i ROM. am I in danger of bricking a s5830l by using the s5830 ROM?
Hi, so i searched and searched on here and other android forums and cant seem to find a link that works to download side load wonder machine or airsideload. All the links that i have found are dead ended or don't exist anymore for Mac. I am trying to resolve a problem on my captivate, it shows the com.google.process.gapps. I have read on other forums of how to fix this problem but cant download other apps or .apk to fix this problem because of the error. So that being said I am trying to side load the gtalkservice.apk but nowhere can i find a link that works to download a usable side loader. after everything done and said i just want to be able to download apps from the google Market. Please help been on this for a couple of days and cant find a good link. the captivate is already rooted successfully using one click root. YOUR HELP WILL BE VERY APPRECIATED

You can sideload apps without a sideloader if you're rooted (depending on your firmware version). Although, at this point I would just flash stock KK4 with Odin to get you on stock GB. From there, you can download and flash Corn Kernel to flash a JB ROM. Perhaps you haven't reached that far yet but it's definately something you should look into.
Mind explaining how you got that error btw? And, did you try clearing your Play Store's data?
Haven't received any updates since 1/2019 so I downloaded a file from a link on xda and tried to fix it myself. While trying to update from my SD, I received an error in recovery mode shortly after I started to flash the zip. Since I couldn't get the phone to boot up, I decided to factory reset and start all over but now I'm in bootloop. I'm an idiot. Thank you so much for any help! I tried to search for links here before posting but I'm on a really old phone now so am having a difficult go. I have a Verizon sm-960U. And I'm a newbie at this. I used to mess around with my nexus 6 a lil but that was years ago. Thanks again and I don't mind donating money to get the device back up and running.
After more research on yt, looks like I should install Odin and go from there. Will give that a try.
