[Q] wrong sbf? need proper one for (RTGB)

first post, yes, i'm new to this... (forum, not flashing, not entirely anyway, i did fiddle with Sony Ericssons and stuff, kindergarden compared to androids)... but not an idiot, to the point:
firmware config. version seems to be RTGB, great britain, right? wrong, a RTUK is not it. I am sort of lost, i bought the phone with 2.1-update1, the 2.2.1 update has not yet been rolled out in my backwards country, so i did an official update over the internet with motorola app etc etc. I have no idea what was the 2.1 fw config. ver., but it strikes me as weird that i have a RTGB one now, the packaging/box/manuals all were German or something that looks like German. And now, i got myself RTUK sbf file, and RDS lite fails to do anything. I require assistance, and an explanation if possible as to why this didnt work? if i chose the wrong sbf, why does it show me having RTGB? and finally which sbf to take and from where (two german one's are available on this forum), but i've seen only one RTGB and it was only 2.1. For comparison, the friend bought the same phone on the same day, but she got one with a qwertz keyboard, mine is normal qwerty, fw config. ver. shows VFDE, did not update hers, it's still 2.1-update1. I can only assume that VF is german for RT and that her phone did not come from an unknows source. The phone company selling these obviously imports them, possibly even from random countries or EU countries at least...
however something did happen, my battery in the notification seems to be not present, there's just a question mark inside what appears to be an empty battery... apps that show battery levels work fine... although, scratch this last one, a reboot fixed it, even though i have not seen it before.
also, help me rack up some posts ^^ ask for info or whatever, i'd like to give a shot at improving my android...

Check the link below. You will get both service and non-service versions of 2.2.1 sbf's.
http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone221
VF would be vodafone ( service version) while RT would be retail version.

which version of rsdlite and what OS? rsdlite should not cause your OS to crash.

oh no, it's not rsd lite related, it's just laptop hardware being faulty, that's my assumption anyway, this laptop is going to the warranty next monday, it bsods randomly and i mean really randomly... atm i have win7ult x64 and rsd is 4.9... however this is unrelated, i had a linux here and on it was screwing me over from day one.

Try it and see if it works.

Just finished. Seems to be good. Gonna Continue with the guide then ^^ Many thanks.

instead starting a new topic IDIOT QUESTION but... can someone give me a detailed dumbed down version of this instruction bellow:
If you applied an OTA update before, there is a script run at every system boot that checks and re-flashes the recovery when its checksum doesn't match. In such case, you have to avoid booting to android after the vulnerable recovery flash. Boot directly to recovery when RSD Lite restarts the phone (hold camera button) and from there remove the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file.
rm -f /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
i am getting this
E:Cant open /cache/recovery/command
just upon entering AOR (power+x)
trying to apply the update regardless i get this
- install from sdcard
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
E:EOCD marker occurs after start of EOCD
E:signature verification failed
Instalation aborted
what is the meaning of this?
possible solutions:
"It seems that the key to successful recovery flash in some cases is to not let the phone to boot to android or recovery until the RSD Lite will signal PASS. When the RSD Lite is restarting the phone during flash, hold the D-Pad Up, so the phone enters the bootloader again immediately."
does this work? DIDNT WORK, so i still need help
i'm still combing through many threads mentioning this... either please tell me this works or point me in the right direction -_- thanks

Once you flash the official sbf, you need to flash the vulnerable recovery to enable you to run openrecovery which is used to flash custom roms and much more.
There is a script which checks your recovery image everytime it boots and replaces it with the original if it finds any changes. So you need to remove that script.
Procedure would be as follows.
1. Download and extract androidiani openrecovery to the root if your sdcard. You should have a update.zip file and openrecovery folder.
2. Flash official sbf.
3. Flash vulnerable recovery sbf. When the phone restarts and before it displays Moto logo, press and hold the 'x' key on your keyboard. You should see a triangle with exclamation mark. Press volume up + camera button and choose apply update menu option.
AOR should load up. Choose console option and type the following commands.
rm - rf /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
reboot
That's all.

okay, so it seems i did all the steps EXCEPT flashing the original sbf... wait, the first link you provided was to a an official sbf - correct? then where do i get the vulnerability? or vulnerable_recovery_only_RAMDLD90_78.sbf is it? so, i have original flashed, when trying the vulnerability now it says failed, 0x7100, phone connected. what does that mean?

The RAMDLD90_78 is the Vulnerable Recovery.
RSD Lite is a buggy program sometimes. What you need to do is put the sbf you want to flash on the ROOT of your C:/ drive and try it again.

I suppose there's no harm in trying that, i already had to rename it to something shorter, cause it wouldnt even give me the Start button.... brb

Once you get VR, rooting and flashing a custom ROM is a piece of cake, so it shouldn't be that bad once you get there.

If you want to flash CM, just install GOT 2.2.1 from here and forget about VR. GOT has VR injected into it. Use the Retail UK sbf.
Once you have CM, you have root.
@skadude : Didn't know it was me.

is cm7 much better over cm6? cause i was looking into that ^^ however if the end goal can be achieved easier with got cm6 i should give that a try, but, what if i wanna play around with this stuff later or something? i'd like to understand what's happening at the moment... anyway, if i go with got solution what are the steps? flash uk sbf, then got or... then cm?
also, got or is better than aor? except apparently having vulnerability alreay in it... anything else?
thanks for all the help, sorry for being not too enlightened, i'll get there ;]]]

[Q] Signed samsung zip

Hi. I have been trying to find an solution to my problem for 3 days. I have looked all over here and the rest of the internet. I believe what I need is an update zip file that will pass the standard e3 recovery.
I have downloaded several zips already(a couple from here), that say they are the stock samsung firmwares, but everytime I put it on an sd, then try to apply the update with it, in the e3 recovey I get E: signature verification failed.
I got to this point by trying to apply the OTA update. ( ok, you can all throw rotten food at me now). I thought I was safe as I didn't have any custom firmware on there. I had, however gained root access. The update went fine and seemed to work, then it finished and tried to reboot, only to get stuck on the samsung logo for over an hour before I decided it had gone wrong and panicked.
The usual ways of fixing I know about are odin, heimdall, adb. None of these are working. I think it's my computer being too old. Odin doesn't detect, Heimdall sees there is a device there but has problems connecting to it. adb will only see it in the e3 recovery mode and not in odin mode and even then because it doesn't seem to be root anymore it can't really do much.
I am open to suggestions on how to get something to work. My thoughts are that I just need a gingerbread rom that has some samsung siigning on that I can put on an sd and use that in E3 to flash from there. I can then work from there if that works. Feel free to laugh and point and tell me that's not gonna work, but if you know a way that will work I would be very grateful.
Thank you for listening and I hope someone can help.

Open kies, do the connection troubleshooting to reinstall device drivers.
Then follow path of flashing stock with PC Odin with pit file. See dr Ketans thread in sticky section of development for path.

thanks for getting back so soon. I have had kies up on the screen actually. It's been trying to connect for about 3 hours now lol.
I did the troubleshoot thing earlier where it reinstalled drivers. Restarted pc but same. Won't actually connect in either odin mode or recovery.I'm pretty sure it's a pc issue, at least partly anyway, but don't have anything else to try it on.
Is the signed zip idea a definite no go?

Not sure about zip,
Close Kies, open pc odin,
Gp into download mode, connect phone, confirm downloadmode with volume up and try tp flash
Let me know how that goes

No Odin pc refuses to recognise there is anything attached. I'mgiving up for the night now anyway. thank you for looking in. I'll try again in the morning. I might have to buy a new pc before I can get this thing to work.

Connect the usb to back port, sometimes helps with connection. Use stock usb cable.
please hit thanks if i helped

thanks but I've tried all the basics, but if it would help I'd stick a wire up my nose, so it's all helpful. It could be something simple I just forgot.

PC specs? Is it a Mac maybe? Reboot phone and PC and use another cable. Download latest kies and update it restart PC and then connect the phone.

Umm, did you wipe after the flash?
1. A data wipe will, in all probability, solve the bootloop after the upgrade from GB to ICS.
2. A data wipe on an ICS kernel CAN result in a hardbrick, as I'm sure you must have noticed, on the forums.
I'd say wipe it. The bricks are not all that common. Just this once. I faced a similar situation, and I KNEW the thing would boot after a wipe, so I just crossed my fingers and did it. All went well.

By they way, what do you mean by e3 recovery? I've been assuming stock.

the PC is a 7-8 year old laptop. Our desktop died a few months ago and we've not really had the spare cash to replace it yet. The desktop was even older and was a real pain. The technical gremlins have really infested my house.
I don't really want to wipe the data, as I could just send off to samsung repair as a last resort. I really want my pictures and data back. Got some of my 2 and half month old daughter on there that I haven't got backed up anywhere else. (yes I'm looking dumber with every post). My next thing to try I guess is see if I can borrow my sister in laws PC for a few hours or something. That is if if cannot find a rom that the recovery will accept to put on my sd.
yes -the e3 recovery s the stock one.

Feel for ya.... if you can enter stock recovery then the connection problem most likely lies either with the cable and port or drivers being out of date
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

almost positive it's my knackered computer that won't let me do anything. Still can't believe that a rom doesn't exist with samsung signing, somewhere in the world. What is the point of having a standard recovery at all if you can't use it to recover stuff?
I need to be borrow or steal the use of someones computer now I think. I'll keep an eye on this thread incase someone knows of a signed zip file, and I will report of any news incase someone else has the same problems and wants to fix it without sending to Samsung so they can keep their data.

I understand the reluctance.
Although, the pictures would survive the wipe, as they would be in /sdcard/DCIM/Camera. A wipe wouldn't affect anything in /sdcard, although, you'd lose your contacts if they aren't backed up. Your best bet would be to borrow someone's computer for a while.

thanks for all the advice.
Finally found a zip that the e3 recovery thinks is signed.
It was the 2.3.6 gingerbread, uk cpw one.
It seems to pass the signing check and then it looks like it's doing domething for a few minutes, then nothing seems to happen afterwards. just stays in recovery. If I do it a few times in a row it will sometimes think for longer, then reboot itself like it has all worked, but then get stuck at the samsung logo again.
Can I ask, what exactly is getting wiped then? Just the main android folders and not the sdcard folder? Is that for definite?

Yes. Just the android partition should get wiped, internal SD should remain intact.
Try taking out the battery for five minutes or so before powering on again. Sometimes after flashing the rom needs a breather to "settle".
Sent from my Paranoid Android GT-N7000. It doesn't get much better than this!

Just an update on my situation. I finally managed to get use of another computer and got it to work properly, so managed to flash the stock ICS rom through odin.
Thanks a lot Samsung for forcing me to put the yellow triangle on my device. At least there are people willing to help with fixing mobile phones' software, even if the manufacturers themselves don't care about you losing all your data. I managed to get everything back. Nothing was lost. If only they allowed you to flash the stock rom from their stock recovery. It's ridiculous that it doesn't.
Anyway there is the triangle away app for that I suppose and now I might try some new roms out to see which I prefer.

Yeah you would have to make a flashable zip. Not sure how to do that.
Good you are back

Ics v28e update without USB question

Can someone advise me on whether it is possible to update to the new Rom without the use of a USB.
My g\f's phone doesn't have usb its bust for some reason.
Is there any other way to load the latest 5.0 cwm, the new bootloader and then install a zip from cwm.
Any help is much appreciated.

1) You should clarify the title. Something like "How to update to v28E without USB". Imagine every thread like "LG P990 question", it's absurd.
2) You should tell us if you want the vlite or the full version of v28E.
3) CWM 5.0 is not the latest.
4) Yes, it is possible, put everything in the sd card =P.
Good luck.

Hello, apologies for that.
Thank you for the fast response.
I would like to install the full version, I am aware that you need to specifically partition the ad, but I can read grains thread for that.
Can I just confirm then, that if there is a zip for the new downloader, cwm and Rom in one zip.
That can be run from cwm?
Thank you

First -- In case you want to go full metal on P990, that means repartitioning, new BB and full flash, you need to flash. There is no other way than using NVFlash, as described in lovely thread in development by Stephan G.
Reasons - reformatting is not easily done from within phone which runs on these partitions, same goes for reflashing recovery from within recovery.
Second -- not sure why without USB?
Third -- there is CWM-possible way by using TonypAndHarsh's vlite V28E rom, yet this goes without new BB and with possibility of no call audio issue.
So, to repeat my answer to your main point, no. There is no way to fully install new system/BB without USB connection and PC. You have to flash it.

Hello. I think you can instal the new ICS without your usb cable.
1. you need to instal rom manager from PlayStore and flash from here the CWM recovery. I recomend you to instal the version 5.2.0
2. Make a nandroid backup before you do something to your actual rom.
3. Use titanium backup to backup all your apps and settings.
4. Put ICS rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959545 in your sd card (i think you have at leat a card reader and on adapter to put your microsd card) and follow the isntruction from the download page.
Good luck!

Cool thank you will try tomorrow.

I'm sorry but I disagree with you... I think that anyone that thinks about the title for 2 seconds can understand that if the guy is asking if it's possible to flash v28e without USB of course he means the "full" stock ICS leak, the one which requires you to redo your partitions and whatnot... the one that is only possible through nvflash, thus, it is not possible to update to v28e without USB.
Or, you could just reply... hey, it's not possible to flash "the real deal", but you can flash tonyp's "lite" version, which uses the old bootloader and a patched kernel (thus some bugs might come from that) and all you need to do is put the files in the sd card...
I don't know why you had to be so "blunt"...

Thank you for that information, I am currently trying to find out if there is a way to install the right version of CWM, then try to install the new bootloader from within CWM? I am not even sure if that is possible.
I think she is just going to have to get her phone sent back, the only problem is the o2x is discontinued, I doubt they will replace it or fix it. They will probably try and replace it, but only give her something that I wouldn't consider a good replacement. But we'll have to speak to her insurance company first.
I have seen these phones selling on ebay, they are about £100 from what I can gather, it depends what she wants to do. Could buy a new one and sell her one, just a shame really, i found another thread about the USB problem and they had to send it back and get it repaired, must be either a problem with the connection or the board, I would think the board as it charges fine, which is really weird.
Anyway, thank you for you help, i will keep searching to see what i can find.

Hi
I downloaded a stock Rom that had been modded.
So I could be sure that I would have cwm in case anything went wrong.
Rom loaded and was able to get into the secret menu.
I will say that under USB connection type there was misspelling where it said:
LG USB adnroid
Not sure if that would affect it.
I selected that item.
Then went to port.
Selected the different options in ordered and waited about 10 seconds on each turn, then pressed find any changes in device manager unplugged and plugged the USB.
Then tried in different orders but with not luck.
Took the battery out and tried holing the vol up down the plugging in USB but to no avail.
Then pressed power and vol down.
The phone tuned on and showed LG sign then switched off.
I tried pressing check any changes as the LG sign came on but nothing.
Then tried nvflash as the LG sign came on but nvflash showed no connection.
Very weird, definitely dead but still charges, doesn't make sense.
Oh well
Ordered an atrix with work and play kit for 68 quid, has a broken digitizer which will cost 20 pound, on average, off ebay.
Thanks for the help though.
May take the 2x apart when new phone comes and see if there's any physical damage on te board.

[Q] Touchreecn unresponsive after flashing back to stock

I realize this isn't the developer section and that there is a risk in flashing roms.
I had downloaded rom manager and for some reason went on to flashing cwm for the S3.
The camera stayed in a boot loop.
I reflashed a recovery image, twrp, and then went on to clearing cache and doing a data/factory rest (I may have lost the usb debugging in the midst?)
I reflashed a stock rom, all flashing process is fine, the camera boots, hardware keys wok, only problem is the touchscreen is unresponsive.
Any files I can provide to help solve this bad move on my part, or is it toast?
Thanks.

I've managed to hook up a mouse with OTG cable so I can at least do something with it, but I sure hope I can find a fix for this besides having to send it to samsung for repair.
Are there any files I can provide to see if anything looks out of place, build.prop maybe? I really don't know where to start with this.

The thing is I may need to flash the original rom, which is from New Zealand. I found the file on sammobile, just the first download I think was corrupt as it would fail md5 checksum and odin wouldn't flash it. I just downloaded another copy of the NZ rom version and am currently trying that out.
Any other version of the original rom i tried, the touchscreen wouldn`t work. The camera is brand new so I`m hoping it`s just software related.
*edit: I just flashed the original rom with odin, touchscreen is still no working. I`ll try the toolit again and see what gives.

u think it might be a kernel issue ? try and reflash the kernel.

I really don`t know what happened, besides the fact that I flashed a recovery that was clearly not meant for the galaxy camera, lesson learned.
I realized my 14 day return was still in effect, so I just returned it to the shop and got a new one. :S

Hi;
I had downloaded CWM rom manager and for some reason went on to flashing cwm for the S3.
Camera restarting and then touchscreen doesnt work. Buttons are working but touchscreen isn't.
Anybody help me?
Please..

I've managed to hook up a mouse with OTG cable too. I hope install new CWM SGC rom. But there is no rom in CWM.
I think we can install touchscreen driver, But where?

I'm helping a friend on the same situation.
Phone doesn't boot.
Stuck on M logo.
Locked bootloader.
Able to go to AP fastboot
No custom recovery.
Particularly this is my first time dealing with a motorola phone. Have flashed HTC and have owned mostly samsung phones.
But I know my way a bit on adb and fastboot.
Anyways I'll keep an eye on this thread and let you know if I find something on my own.
I'll try with RSDLite, Myth tools and fastboot.
Maybe one of them will work.
Good luck.

from what i can tell..... RSD LITE is not gonna work.... but im sure if i get the New 4.1.1 Update zip file that u add to SD CARD and Flash update through there it will work as long as its singed. i have 4.0.4 but keeps crashing durning install telling me ro.buildprop 4.0.4 & ro.buildprop.4.1.1 so i think that i has a 4.0.4 update file when i need a 4.1.1 but unsure where to get it? ..... so mad i spent $250 bucks on this thing to have a Rouge App do this to me lol...... next time NO more root for me lol

Have you tried mythtools??

From fastboot, I recommend unlocking the bootloader, install Philz, and flash a custom KK ROM.

Manual fastboot didn't work. Always stuck on flashing boot.img and system.img
The same happen on that step in rds lite and myth tools.
Phone said can't downgrade or something like that.
So I haven't had any luck yet.
Open to suggestions.
