Hi
I looked around and saw a few ppl having trouble while rooting vibrant.
I've put update.zip on /sdcard, and when i reboot my phone in recovery mode it says something about my package not being signed.
So i googled and did this:
java -classpath "/home/ohai/Downloads/android-sdk-linux_86/tools/sign/testsign.jar" testsign update.zip file-signed.zip
(don't worry, i'm not that stupid, i DO have the sdk and the testsign installed here)
then renamed file-signed.zip to update.zip and replaced it on /sdcard, but still got the same message.
Does anyone have a link to a actually working update.zip to vibrant's froyo?
i'm using froyo.UVJL4, downloaded from samfirmware.com.
Thx in advance

Everyone's update.zip is usually different is what i'd think.
try getting titanium backup, click menu and click menu, and then CREATE update.zip
that might help you out.
Go to dec section and look for the jl4 rom from geodude(cant remember exact name...) His rom, odex or deodex both come prerooted with the 3e recovery fix as well. Flash that. KTB.

If you are comfortable using the voodoo lagfix you can flash the new voodoo 5 kernels. They come with the SU binary and clockworkmod recovery built in. Then download busybox and superuser from the market. You'd have to flash via ODIN though.
Thx for the tips, but i was not thinking about using modified roms... all i want is to root my default rom from samsung, is it possible?
You need the correct key to sign the zip file. My understanding is this key was not released by Samsung so you will not be able to sign your update.zip files to work with the 3e recovery.
The 2e recovery accepted a "test key" which is why we're able to use update.zip to root and use CWM.
The RATC method still works for rooting in the 2.2 Firmware. You can use SuperOneClick to root, and then replace the stock 3e recovery with the one from here. This is a modified 3e recovery which removes the signature checking.
How about trying the ALT METHOD in the Noob Guide (my signature)... then flash a stock rom with root?

Rooting T-Mobile Vibrant Froyo 2.2 JL5
I have the T-mobile Vibrant US Phone. I upgraded to JL5 and have rooted my phone with a program from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Get the latest version and you might have to run the program 2 or 3 times for it to finish. Note on my phone these were the steps I took.
1. Put phone in USB Debugging Mode.
2. Plug usb cable to computer.
3. Run the rooting program above with windows administrator rights.
4. It will run then probably hang half way through and indicate WAITING FOR
DEVICE.
5. Shut windows program down.
6. Reboot phone (Turn Off then On).
7. Reconnect to usb.
8. Restart the Rooting Program and Root.
9. It should finish and ask if you want to test SU say yes.
10. That's It you should be good to go.
Hope this helps.

You still can't get rooted & you want FroYo?
I attached cwm update.zip so just use that to get into CWM Recovery (Reinstall Packages, You may need to do it twice) and then just flash the following ROM

im desperately looking to root my vibrant from Bell canada. i just updated to JL2 using the kies pc software. i just got this phone for xmas so im quite new to it.
im hoping to find an app or website that can do most of the steps for me. or a youtube video with detailed step by step.
ive tried using the guide that s15274n wrote (btw, thanks for the awesome writeup) but i have the same problem of the update.zip file not passign the signature verifaction.
i would like to stay with a stock ROM for at least another couple weeks because of the super high chance of this phone bricking itself
my phone has a build date of 11.10
any thoughts?
thank you VERY much for any help

I have managed to root my phone! hurray!

Hi guys, I was trying to flash new ROM via CWM. However, cwm wasn't able to read the zip file saying something about script is not supported blah blah blah... Browsing thru xda forum, I found out that this problem has caused due to the cwm version(recently updated to cwm3.0.0.8) , or at least I want to believe it this way. So lastnight I ended up finding a thread started by jt1134 which I basically helped out lots of ppl who were struggling with similar problem as mine. But the thing is when I was trying to download the files, cwm-recovery-ALL.zip and cwm-recovery-ALL odin. The download links were broken giving me an error message. So guys, if anyone has the files I beg of you to share it pleaseeeeeeeee.
to shorten it down, the link is broken, I think. So if anyone has the files I beg of you to share it thank you..............
Hello jjalhjy
I will make this easy for the both of us!
Direct your browser to this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999802
Once there scroll down to the 5th post (#5) where I linked both the page you referenced (broken links) and a link to a working download of the ".tar" file (was earlier! ).
If you need the .zip file scroll down to post 9 (#9) where I have linked it.
A quick guide to getting you flashed.
*note* I am assuming you cannot use .zip files due to the incompatible script error! This is for using odin.
1. Put phone in download mode via the power menu if on superclean. If not turn off the power, pull battery, plug into computer, hold "down" on the volume rocker till the yellow triangle "download" screen appears
2. download the ".tar" version of cwr all
3. Launch odin
4. Click the PDA button and search for the ".tar" file and select it -> then hit "ok"
5. Run the file in odin, wait for the phone to reboot.
6. put your battery back in and test recovery mode to see how it looks!
*whew*
good luck!
Wow that was a fast reply! Thank you! A quick question tho, 1. Do you know if I have to uninstall ROMmanager and delete update.zip file in my sd card before I even start flashing via using odin. 2. After following your instruction step by step, and let's say if it works. Do I still need to download ROMmanager? 3. I remember reading someone's thread in xda saying it is always necessary to flash new cwm after flashing a ROM (I always have it done using ROMmanager but now things have changed, obvisouly. So yea, how would I flash new CWM after flashing a ROM from now?
Sorry if these questions sound so newbyyyy hehe and thanks again!

It is advised (so I have read) that you should not use ROM manager with the Fascinate. While it is a powerful tool, it is just not 100% Fascinate friendly yet. Also I have never had to remove/mess with the update.zip on my SD card. Heck as far as I know you can delete it after using ODIN with the new cwr-all.

No. I would use the Development Thread here in the fascinate section for your ROMS. ROM manager is just not made for us.....yet!

I personally have never done this. To the best of my knowledge (and real life experience) cwr-all (red version) is the current and most up-to-date version (for the Fascinate). Once I ODIN-ed over the cwr-all I have not updated it once. You should be fine to flash it and flash ROMs as you please!
Dude, thanks A LOTTTTTT
so I rooted my phone via superoneclick 1.9 then loaded up latest version of clockworkmod and I gave it superuser permission and flashed the recovery but when i go to boot into recovery and push the reinstall package button instead of loading into clockwork like its supposed to it says "E:failed to verify whole-file signature, E:signature verification failed installation aborted." and wont let me go into clockwork. Im sorry if this has been answered i tried searching but could'nt find anything addressing this specific problem, thanks in advance and im sure someone will post a link to a posting i missed answering this problem lol again i apolagise if this has been answered already i couldnt find it.

+100000 for that, the modded 3e didn't work for me, but that [your] method worked wonders. Pretty epic guide
BTW the link for the UPDATE.ZIP is wrong, it's not CWM recovery Had to do it manually.

Hey, appreciate the kind words. The update.zip I have posted is NOT CWR... it is just a zip to give root. If a person didn't have CWR prior on their phone they would need that to root, then go to the market and grab Rom Manager to flash CWR. Most have CWR/RM so they do not need the update.zip I included.
Maybe I need to make that more clearer in the guide? Thoughts?
Maybe.
I have a Galaxy S I9000 and I've done a few things with it (root, flash ROMs etc.), but the Vibrant was SO different. But I thought that the update.zip included was the CWM one.
Anyway, I'm done with it, but still can't make it work with my european SIM card

Hi all,
I was installing custom roms back in the xda 2 days but eventually moved over to iphone and now im swtiching to android. (I love the new site by the way!)I have an (o2) streak arriving tomorrow and would like to get the best out of my device.
I have tried my best to do my research over the past few days before making my first post and now I have some questions if I may...
To flash a rom I need to:
1. Install fastboot
2. Root device using androot or superboot
3. Install clockworkmod recovery
4. Download rom and flash to device
If my device comes with 1.6 I need to update to 2.1 first.
Roms...
The ROMs I have come across so far:
- O2 2.2
- Custom Streakdroid by Djsteve http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15&did=26
All others that I have seen seem to be in alpha.
So am I right in thinking that streakdroid is the most advanced but stable rom so far?
Is there any backup tools / failsafes that I can use before starting all this?
Do I need to worry about baseband? Do I follow this?...
"IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO UPDATE TO THE BELOW BASEBAND FOR 1.5.1+"
If somebody let me know if I've understood the above correctly and if I'm ok to proceed with flashing tomorrow?
Any help is greatly appreciated and it's good to be back!
Just update to stock 351, I find that to be very fast and super stable.

Thanks for the reply,
I have done some searches and it seems stock 351 is the latest non-custom rom. Is this what I will recieve from o2 in the OTA upgrade? Am I not missing out on a load of extra features if I use this instead of a custom rom?
Thanks
Go for steves rom i am on o2 uk flashed the 351 a bit slow 4 me went back to the streak savier u will love 190

Thanks that answers question 2 but what about 1 and 3?
Regards
I carried out all previous steps and now this is what I've done:
1. copied update-1.6.1.zip to the root of sd card. It said I needed to copy a .pkg but the streakdroid package comes in a zip so i copied that on instead.
2. Installed the recovery image
3. Booted into recovery menu and selected update via update.pkg on sd card.
Now the streak has the Dell logo with an ! exclamation mark and it's just sitting there. Have I done it correctly? It says it takes 10 minutes but I'm a bit worried because there is no progress meter there.
Some one please let me know if I've done the right thing as I'm too scared to touch it now in case I brick it!
Thanks
Ok i figured i had to press the power button to get the menu but now i cant get the menu back! Every time I select the option it tales me to: android system recovery utility
When I try to do a recovery it says verification failed...any pointers?
It depends on what you have done so far. You are best starting with the latest official update for your phone using system update, then installing the fastboot drivers on your pc, installing new recovery, either streakmod or clockworkmod and then installing djsteves over that if you want a custom rom.
Instructions for each step are evident in forums, but If you require further assistance, just ask

Thanks for the reply. I flashed the recovery again and it allowed me into the advanced menu again which enabled me to flash. It's all working now but I have just noitved 1 thing....
I flashed with update-1.6.1.zip from http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15 but have just found update-1.9.0.zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003525
Am I right in thinking that I have just flashed with an older version? If so, I will do it again.
Another question...if I flash with a new rom I must lose all my data?
When it's on the dell exclamation screen you press the power button to bring up the recovery screen.

Hello, sorry for the title error (2.3.6).
This is the way to restore your Nexus One to 100% stock Android 2.3.6, waiting ICS Android 4 official OTA updates (if there will be one).
This rom contains:
hboot
radio
recovery
system ...
(all things return stock except the unlocked bootloader but it isn't a problem)
Thank to Football for the rom e to the XDA wiki for the guide. I decided to create this thread for who is in truble (as me some days ago) and for who wants to return stock before the possible relasing of ICS. Before everything backup your data (and sd card for security) and from custom recovery do:
-wipe battery stats (if you want)
-wipe data and cache
-wipe dalvik cache
Now:
1)Download the shipped rom GRK39F from PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_3.13.1700.1_GRK39F_relase_signed.zip
2)Rename the downloaded ZIP file to PASSIMG.ZIP.
3)Transfer the provided PASSIMG.ZIP file to the root of your SD card.
4)Power down your phone.
5)Hold down the Volume Down button as you power your phone back on.
6)A screen should appear showing your phone's system searching for various files. This will take up to 2 minutes.
7)The phone will ask you if you want to start the update. Press the Volume Up button to start the update.
8)If you followed these steps correctly - congratulations, you are now on stock 2.3.6 ROM.

Hallo. I've been looking for this instruction. Thank you. BTW your signature shows that you own Nexus S, not Nexus One. Are you sure the instruction you wrote is for Nexus One?

Dumb question, but there's no reason I can't just flash this in Amon-Ra or CW, is there? Your instructions are for stock recovery, but as far as I know it should work in any recovery, shouldn't it? (Obviously stock recovery will be flashed on reboot with a stock ROM, I know that.)
you can't flash it by stock recovery or custom recovery. This is not a custom or stock rom...it is a shipped image (in fact you have to name it not in "update" but in "passimg"). You don't have to enter in any recovery...while you boot in the bootloader all is automatic without using recovery! i don't know if im clear, i don't speak english very well

No recovery request in the passage
Your English is fine I forgot that the bootloader handles the updates, not the recovery (which is why the name has to be specific, it looks for that file in the boot sequence). Answers my real question, anyway, which was whether I'd need to revert to stock recovery to apply it (I don't).
Thank you for your help.
No you don't have to...this method works for every rom and recovery

Didn't work
I followed thee steps you suggested. But after it scanned the SD card it didn't ask for anything.It just sat there at the bootloader screen. I'm using CM7.1 right, don't know if that affects anything.
No it is not a problem cm7 ...i Think that you should do this passage if you are using windows:
1) rename in PASSIMG (without .zip)
2) copy it in the root of SD card (not in a folder)
this should be the solution

Hey
yea that's what I did. But I didn't clear cache and data via recovery beforehand. Could that be the reason?
I think not....but for a good use of stock ROM you have to clear everything. If the file is complete downloaded and named correctly the bootloader has to recognize it. Sorry

Hey
I think the zip file has an issue. It said something while searching for files in the bootloader. Can you reupload maybe?
