Downloading stock roms - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why does every stock rom file hoster have such slow speeds? I have tried 5 mirrors and they are all like 200-300kbs. Is there a utility to download from mirrors collectively?

There is a tool called Samfirm, however it downloads the file as a .enc4 and I cannot figure out what the hell to do with it. Renaming it as a .zip only results in file corruption via WinRar. Guess well just have to waits days for a Sammobile download to finish. If it doesn't get interrupted. Kinda sad there is no clear cut guide on how to do this with the tool.

Try again. The tool automatically decrypts it into a zip, just make sure to select that. (Check attached screenshot)

Unzipping issue

I have been trying to unzip a few files on my tilt after I downloaded them directly into the device. But an error keeps coming up. I tried to search for the answer but couldn't find any. error: the central directory was not found in the archive......
Any suggestions

Sounds like that file is part of a multipart archive. In order to unzip/rar it you need to have downloaded all the parts and then unzip the one that has a .Zip or .Rar extention. (actually I've never done that on the Kaiser - multi part zips I have only done on the PC, but it may work ok?

PS
this is not an upgrading matter so it will be moved to the general Kaiser forum

I was downloading this file http://www.pocketemu.com/hhc-info.html the home customizer and is a zip format
OP,
Have you tried copying the application onto your laptop/computer and then connect your Kaiser via your USB cable to your computer/laptop, and try unzipping and installing.
Your computer/laptop should then install the application onto your Kaiser if connected

I understand, however, as the moderator has told you in a more complex manner, not all zip files can be opened as they are downloaded straight onto your phone, unless the required parts are extracted. It normally works for me by clicking on the zip file, which causes all the individual components to be exposed. I then click on the zip and rar files and it downloads with no problems. If this doesn't work, then try it through your computer
Connecting your phone to your laptop/computer via activesync and installing the zip onto your computer/laptop should work
Unfortunately, I can't find my activesync cd at the moment (which I need as I did a hard reset and so need to reinstall mobile centre) and so cannot try out the HTC Customiser app

The zip programme is there for you to download zip files. Some components of zip files cannot download onto your Kaiser as the zip programme only downloads zip and rar files. In this case, you only download the components which the zip programme recognises and allows you to download onto your phone.
Yes, having looked at this a little more, I feel that what you have downloaded is either an incomplete version of the file or a corrupted one. I say this because I have downloaded the Zip to my PC (size should be 2.01Mb). I then moved it in zipped form to the Kaiser and the zip program extracted it without problems. Hence, it is likely it is your download that's incomplete or corrupt. Worth downloading again, it's not unusual for a download done this way to be corrupted.

[Q] Re-Compressing Android ROM on OSX

Hi,
I just spent the past 3 hours downloading Rodriguez' MIUI mod on my computer because my connection is so slow. I usually download ROMS straight from my phone.
This time however, about an hour in, I realised that OSX Safari will unzip the ROM as soon as it finishes downloading automatically. I got into Preferences>General and change that setting, but it seems as though it didn't come into effect because I changed the setting whilst the download was in progress.
Anyway, is there any other way I can compress the ROM (which is now a folder) through any terminal commands either on the phone or on the computer?
I've already tried compressing it normally like any other folder with MM's Gingerbread ROM I downloaded yesterday. When I flashed it, I bootlooped so....
Oh and I can't download it again. I'm on the brink of going over my bandwidth allowance.
Thanks!
Well, You can use WinRAR like application for MAC (I Don't use OS X) so cant specify.
Select all the files and compress it to zip! Done!
Donate to me by clicking the Thanks if I helped you!
In theory, it would just be to compress it normally with the use of any archiver program which compresses to a .zip file. Not too familiar with OS X, so I cannot guide you into what program you'll need and how to do.
You need to re-compress the ROM files and sign the ZIP.

Signapk? But i think signing a rom is not neccesary anymore... Just turn off signature verification in recovery or use 4ext
I have had the same situation. Safari extracted the file automatically.
After waiting for 3 hours until the download completed, because the website is restricting my download speed to 100 kb/s.
I tried zipping and compressing the file both by a Windows system and a Mac. IT DID NOT WORK.
I have to download the file again.

Phone won't update to 2.3.4...not even manually

Okay, I'll keep it short and simple.
1. Got the phone and activated it. Running froyo
2. Rooted and installed CWM with the .bat one click file (I think it's the program MT wrote. It wasn't revotoolkit which I know is thecubed).
3. Realized I want to use gingervolt, so I need to update. I use the .bat file to un-root and go back to stock.
4. Try to manually push the OTA download through settings>about phone. Updates the phone to VS910ZV6 which is froyo 2.2.2
5. Try to update again (need gingerbread, which is VS910ZV7) and it keeps telling me "No new Software Update Available"
What gives? I'm thinking it may have something to do with the root? I also tried doing the manual update, you know the one floating around the internet using a .tot and LGNSP or whatever the acronym is, but Megaupload and Multiupload don't have the files anymore. Right now I'm downloading TheCubed's stock shipping rom and see if I can install it and get the update to go through.
Is there any fix that someone might know of? I ask because I've read several topics where people say they went down to stock shipping rom but they still couldn't update to gingerbread...then the topics just stop. Obviously they found their answer, so I'm hoping someone will share. I NEED TEH GINGERBREAD.
Thanks for all the help!
I had the same problem,
I was able to directly push GB using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337386
use the VS910ZV7.tot, that's the latest stock.
I found that post and I would LOVE to do it, but all the files are gone. Click a link, all of them say "file is no longer available".

Now My build version is VS910ZV4 and my software version is VS910ZV6

Can it change the build version without changing the software?????
Tried to update, no avail. Nothing happens, I just get the "no software available" crap. Shouldn't it atleast try to update the build version? and is there a reason why it changed my build version to V4 but not my software?
Read the last few pages of the thread. I posted a link for the V7 Gingerbread .tot file that is linked to my dropbox account. I also posted a link somewhere around here for the LGPNST. I'll try to find the links.

ok so i got started with internet explorer quick question how big is the .tot file??? and then is the dll specific or is it universal with v7?
Three things:
1. I was able to open up that .dll with 7zip. if you right click and try to open with 7zip it wont work. Open 7zip and navigate to the zip, then extract it.
2. You'll have to download the .tot (and possibly the .dll) under IE. The .tot file is 637 megs.
3. The .DLL seems to be universal. Once you open it with 7zip it's the exact same size of the link he gave. I'm 53% into the upgrade so I'll let you know if everything went ok.
EDIT: added a third
Everything worked. Installing Gingervolt 1.3!!!!

How to install firmware in developer devices?

My friends,
Some colleagues like to flash and restore roms too in developer devices (not for sale) like all did with KDZ updater everyday.
The question is: If KDZ isn't working with developer devices, then how we can flash it? How can we unlock it?
I discovered some things:
1 - KDZ is a encrypted file.
2 - Developers device has unlocked bootloader.
3 - I've tried many ways to flash kdz in this device, but it never concludes the process, never worked. It stops on "wparam=2010 iparam=18". There are diferents parameter varyating for each developer phone.
4 - We have to discover a new way to flash in this device, or we can decrypt the KDZ file.
*BINGO!* I DIT IT!
How to FLASH and Unbrick LG P880 Developer Edition
This procedure applies only for the initial LG P880 Developer Edition.
But how to know if your device is this version?
First, remove the back cover of your device and search for the words "not for sale". Then (if your phone still works), go to settings> about phone> Software Version. If the version of your device starts with the code V09a, V09b, V09c, etc. - This is a sign that your phone is the developer version!
This means you can not flashing KDZ files through the official LG updater. Even if you download the file separately, the only thing you will achieve is to brick your phone.
But our problems are over! I came to save you!:thumbup:
Procedure:
First, download the KDZ file of your choice here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15
Second, download this firmware pack with DZ. File and proper .DLL File: http://bayfiles.com/file/bRZx/AZaxbu...GP880.v10A.rar
Third, download this drivers:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata...er-4.10(2).zip
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/data/L...in7_LGEAll.zip
Fourth, download LG Flash Tool:
http://www.mediafire.com/?pzqr0gsw8u9erxl
We will definitely erase any record of your device. Unlike the KDZ method, this one makes a "ULTRA HARD RESET". Our device is not registered as selling model, yet the hardware is identical to the model of the consumer. We'll do the flash rom, and also unlock the device so that it is compatible with the KDZ flasher once and for all!
Once you’ve downloaded all the archives, let’s begin. Go to victory.
1. Extract “LGFlashTool 1.2” and instal "Setup_LGFlashTool_1.2.45.921.exe"
2.Replace the file LGFlashTool.exe into C:\LG\LGFlashTool ( You will crack the software with this )
3. Extract and Install “OMAPFlashInstaller-4.10(2).zip”
4.Exract “LGUnitedModemDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver_4.9.7_All_Wi n7_LG EAll.zip” and Install“LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497CA20_WHQL_ML_Ver_ 1. 0 .exe ” and“LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497MA20_WHQL_ML_Ver_1. 0 .exe ”
5. Turn Off phone, Remove your phone’s SIM and SD cards.
6.Press and hold voll up button in LG P880.
7. When you holding “voll up button” connect the USB cable.
8.When computer detects the new hardware (Omap4430) release “voll up button”.
9. Install the Driver.
10.After Driver installation, go to device manager and change the port “LGE CDMA USB SERIAL PORT” to “com41″.
11. Run LGFlashTool.
12.In DLL select the proper DLL file you’ve downloaded.
13. In S/W select only the proper DZ. File you’ve downloaded.
14.Choice (Check) “USB” and click OK.
15. Click on Port COM settings(COM plug icon) and select "1" ( Unmark the numbers above )
16. Click start(The Port 1 window should appear READY).
17.Disconnects USB cable and wait 5 seconds.
18. Press and hold voll up button in Lg P880 and connect USB cable.
19.The update process will begin automatically after that release the “vol up”.
20. When the progress bar reaches 100%, the phone will power on and boots automatically!
21. Done! You did it!
22. Now go and flash a KDZ file as your choice using KDZ updater! Your phone was’nt more a developer phone! We transformed it on a consumer phone edition! Wow!
Id like to thanks all if you!
And dont forget to thanks hitting the "thanks" button!

But Xavier, thats easy... every time you select "start upgrade" in R&D Test Tool (after you choose a .kdz file) it generates a .cab file.
You just need to extract what's inside of the V10x.cab ... it will be a .dz file and the .dll, in this case "X3_2008_v0.0.6.9"
I didn't explore a lot that "OMAPFlashInstaller" yet, not a lot of time for that now
Just a curiosity, the .dz file extracted from a V10f_00.kdz is good as well, or needs to be exactly the V10a_00.kdz?
Thanks

I presume you're talking about this link: http://bayfiles.com/file/bRZx/AZaxbu/.kdz_et_.dz_.dll_LGP880.v10A.rar
If you use JDownloader you can do it in 5-10 minutes (depending on your Internet speed...)
I start to download it 2 minutes ago, 3MB/s in 3 minutes it will be finished.
I'll try to upload to 4shared
This file contains:

- V10A_00.kdz
- X3_2008_v0.0.6.9.dll
Like I mentioned before, to have a .dz file it's just needed the .kdz file.
Once that you'll need it to flash, it's enough when you download the .kdz that you want.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
TechGR, you don't need that!
Grab the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe (R&D Test tool) select the KDZ file that you want to install in your phone, hit the "Start Upgrade" and the programe will creat in the same folder where you have the "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe" a .cab file. Even if you don't connect the phone, nothing...
As soon as you see that cab file in the folder, use winRAR to extract the DZ file and the DLL.
The "kdz-update" that I provide here:
http://www.4shared.com/rar/Re4VCOAS/kdz-udpate.html
Arghhhh again
Ok, I tried that, but it did not make any CAB file. However, I decrypted the KDZ using the same tool, and I ended up with a .dz file and a .dll file. I suppose these are the files I need
Well, I followed the tutorial from the first post exactly, except I used the two files I extracted. When I get to step 16 and I click Start, the port 1 does not appear ready (nothing happens).
I'm sure we're gonna sort it out soon, I gotta run now.

2: explain what you're trying to do, what the expected result is and what actually happens (the screenshot helps with, but does not replace, this step).
3: give the steps to reproduce the problem. Do it as actual steps, not a run-on sentence with no details. For example, how are you sending the file to your phone?

Okay this really has nothing to do with my phone. other than the fact that zip's can be turned in to xap files.
lets say I have a folder with some pictures in it I right click on it and hit add to archive ok now folder is zipped.
then I try to unpack it but I cant because its corrupted.. I can not extract the file or a pic I get this error.
I Have found only one other person having this error on 7-zip forum and he says in only one post he fixed an error he was having with his zip by turning off IDM. I honestly don't see how that's related.
I have lost files due to this error.
If you copy the file off the PC, can you open the archive on another machine?

OK so.
I take a folder, 7zip it to .zip
renamed .zip to .xap
Extracted file just fine, windows 8 x64 pro.
Soooooooooooooooooooo...update your 7zip?
Not even sure why you're asking this in a phone forum, but did it work to extract the files on another machine? The fact that sending XAPs to the phone wors suggests that the problem is with the decompressor on your PC, not the compressor.
