[Q] vibrant won't root - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I Odin'd back to stock (eclair). I tried to reinstall packages and get-
E can't install sd/update.zip/ file not found
Aborting installation
I tried putting update.zip back on the sd but got the same thing.
Anyone know how to fix this?
HELP! PLEASE! I dont want to be stuck with stock!

Make sure you put on the update.zip on the internal storage (not the external).

Yes. It is. I removed external sd.

Hmmm...no idea then. Dumb question, but it is named "update.zip," and not "Update.zip," right?

As was stated before, make sure you are placing the file on the internal sd card. You also might consider redownloading the root file that you are attempting to use on the off chance that it is an issue with that file, even if you have previously used it.

Yes.

This is probably completely unrelated, but are you using Windows?

Yes. 7. 64bit

This is dumb, but turn on "view file extensions" or whatever in Windows and make sure that the file isn't named update.zip.zip. Almost certainly not the problem, but worth a shot just to check.
Hope you figure it out.

Holy crap snacks! THAT WAS IT!
Much thanks, wish I could hit the thanks buttonX1000!

Cool. Glad it worked.

Damn, nice save. I hadn't thought about that initially because I always have them displayed.

my sd card fuc*d up

today form a strange reason all my files and folders on my sd card the file explorer was reading them as an .exe file so i couldnt open any file so my d*ck was full of it and i formated the sd card now it works but i lost all my games save's etc why did this happen?? and sory or bing rude but this pisedd me off
Why did this happen?
Because you formatted the card. I'm fairly sure you were warned that you would lose all your data...
But before you have a strong word with yourself you had almost certainly lost it all already because it sounds like the card's data area became corrupted.
or the file associations had become corrupted.
Next time, copy everything off to the pc first, and if you have a card reader, maybe get the pc to scan for errors. its sometimes recoverable.
or the file associations had become corrupted.

I don't agree. File associations is different. That determines which file extension is managed by which program. The OP says all his files showed as .exe's.
i was assuming he actually meant nothing would open and he was getting a 'this is not a valid aplication' type error or somesuch rather than the file extensions all actually reading '.exe', because the first scenario i have heard of, the second i haven't.
First time for everything, of course.

I'm not sure that CD would have helped... It sounds like, at best, the FAT, (File Allocation Table), was messed up. The system would have noticed that the backup FAT didn't match the primary and have given some warning. It seems like it didn't. That implies that both FAT's were bad. That's unrecoverable unless you are desperate. (For "desperate" read: rich).

The system doesn't check both FATs to see if one is fragged. You (the user) have to initiate that check by running CHKDSK /F.

[Q] Anyone else having problems with the downgrade RUU for Rooting?

Can't post in the Dev section yet. That's what I get for trolling around since you guys showed me how to root my OG Droid. Thanks, btw.
Now, I'm trying to root my Tbolt, and when I click on the downgrade RUU file to see the contents it says the file is invalid. So, then I tried to extract it, to see what would happen, but same message.
I also downloaded the exploits.zip and the final PG05IMG.zip and was able to view both their contents. Plus, I had to extract the exploits file to the SDK directory, and it worked fine.
So, I then downloaded from all three mirrors, but same result. And then I went to the rom.galaxysense.com site and downloaded from there, but same result. Am I the only one having retarditis? Is the file jacked, or just run-of-the-mill incompetence on my part???
Thanks to whomever takes the time to help out. And thanks for all the help everyone puts out there for the rest of us.
I am confused by your massive amount of words in this post. You need to say maybe, 20 things total.
First, you don't need to open anything, you simply need to put the ZIP onto your SD card and reboot into Hboot.
The only ZIP you need to unzip is the exploit.zip.
I don't need to extract them, I get that. I was looking in the zip files out of curiosity, but when the one file said it was an invalid file type I didn't want to put it on my SD card. That's closer to 20 words, hope that makes sense.

haha, I was feeling like being a smart ass. The RUU needs to be renamed to PG05IMG.ZIP and put on the sd card, then you need to reboot into bootloader.
Also to add, I came into the problem where I renamed to PG05IMG.zip It was already zipped so just had to name it PG05IMG Then it worked for me.
Thanks for the help. I guess no one understood what I was saying, but since no one else has mentioned the file being corrupted I guess I'll use it and hope for the best.
That's why I mentioned that the other two zip files would let me look at their contents, but the third one said invalid file type. I thought it was clear, but my bad...
Either way, here's another post towards getting out of noob post restrictions!

I'm pretty sure that the RUU downgrade is not something you can open. Just make sure the checksum is valid and you're good to go.
I had tried to flash the RUU after I first rooted becuase I was having location issues. It would check the PG05IMG.ZIP and go back to the Hboot screen. I had flashed another rom so I didn't mess with it any further.

Finally! I've been looking through threads forever in search of this very issue. I was all set on rooting last night, and just like you, the Mecha_RUU file wouldn't unzip, said it was invalid, etc. I stopped right there out of fear that I'd get burned pressing on with one of the key files "broken." Have you rooted since with no trouble?
The best thing to always do is get an MD5 sum for the file and compare it to the root post. I have rooted my thunderbolt twice now and never had a problem.
If the md5sum is correct then you should be fine. Also remember in Windows, it hides the extensions. So when you rename your files do not add the extension as it is already there.
You can show the extensions by changing the folder settings.
Downgrade wont flash
1) Power down phone
2) Power up phone holding volume down
3)No option to upgrade just starts checking files
4) Third check is the downgrade file, starts loading
5) Fails because the file is Older than the main
Ive seen other threads touch on this but no one answer it. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Also I have already updated to the 7/8/11 OTA.
Thanks,

I appreciate the thread link. That's exactly the error I'm getting. Problem is I'm supposed to downgrade to obtain root ( or at least that's one of the steps). I have downloaded this downgrade file from multiple links and verified its the correct one to use in this step and I always receive the "main version higher" issue. Should I be using a different file to downgrade or is this no longer an option for root since the 7/8/11 ota?

Interesting..
I wiped everything ADB and Thunderbolt related from my PC.
Then I downloaded the easy root from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005292&highlight=easyroot
Then I downloaded and opened the pdf instructions on the same page.
Then I followed the written directions to a T!
Worked like a charm. Steps 1, 2, and 3 hung up and had to be done multiple times but I finally got through it. Some other links if found with this same method were misleading as to doing the steps over again but he accounted for this in his pdf instructions and if you follow it to the letter you should be good.

Checking md5sum

I keep reading in threads to check md5sums before doing anything. Would someone care to explain why and how to go about doing so? Is this to be done prior to installing a ROM?
Just trying to get a better understanding of things.
Figured it out before someone gave me the old spoon fed line.
Anyway for those of you that might be a bit confused like myself here is a link to a md5 checker.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/MD5-Checker.shtml
Run exe. after unzipping.
search for file you want checked
Good to go
Guess i've been fairly lucky up till now considering i have never performed this step prior to installing anything.
you can also go to the market and download an app called ManD5....it is also a md5sum checker...

The idea is to check it prior to actually installing it on the phone, not just before it is copied to the storage card. Theoretically, it could get corrupted at any point it is copied/moved/etc, so the ideal time to check is just prior to the step where you flash/install/reboot/whatever.
I actually just use Astro file explorer on my phone. You can look at the details of a file, and it will compute the md5 for it.

Does the s2 support WPA2 Enterprise

Hello i am trying to connect to my schools network and it says to choose wpa2 enterprise under security and it is not there. Any ideas? seems iphones have this but galaxy s2 doesnt? Also I tried the regular WPA/WPA2 PSK it isn't the same as enterprise there is nowhere to put my account username and my school requires a certificate
Put the certificate on your phone and install it via Settings --> Location & Security --> Install from USB storage. Then you should be good to go when you connect.

When you say "placed it in the sdcard and tried again", did you put it on your sd card that you can actually take out of the phone? That is your external sd card.
As oinkylicious said above, USB storage is the /sdcard folder. The external sd card is /sdcard/external_sd.
How are you placing it in your sd card in the first place?

[MOD] [IDEA] Mount SDCard as /sdcard AND /sdcard2 and avoid internal storage

Not sure how to better ask than to state my intent. The added storage of internal nand (as /sdcard in most roms) isn't worth the trouble it creates with doing full migrations from one rom to the next so I'm thinking I want to edit scripts (init.d, fstab and what-not) so that the internal storage just isn't used and my sdcard is OR so that internal is mounted inside /sdcard as /int_temp or something like that.
What I want to know though is if anyone out there knows of a reason this would be inadvisable? In other words, is there anything I'm likely to break? Any reason I can't just shell in from recovery, set things up, and try it?
Also, to deal with apps that don't rely on the APIs correctly, I was thinking of mounting as both /sdcard and /sdcard2. Any reason that could cause trouble? Ideally I would also edit the rom so that properly written apps will always use SDcard over internal storage too.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
2012-03-06T20:08-0700: So far I've done no harm and by simply modifying /etc/vold.fstab to the following, I've swapped internal/external, but it's a complete swap so the rom now reports 29GB total phone storage and 10GB SD card storage. I'm guessing it's the ramdisk that contains the references that vold.fstab uses which define what's "phone" and what's "sdcard". I tried swapping single parts of vold.fstab entries and storage broke so it doesn't appear to be standalone in that sense (doesn't have the meta data to indicate what's phone and what's sdcard).
Code:
dev_mount sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd 37 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc2
I can work on it later this week. I think it can be done. I just need time to mess with it.
/sdcard/sd_ext
Thanks for the quick reply Con. Should it take much more than init.d and/or fstab changes? I have no doubt you're as/more busy with Android mods than I am with my other projects so I'd rather give this a go and hit you up with targeted questions than wait AND put it all on you. If you're cool with that, I'll give it a go right now while I'm between roms.

Lol that exists already. Sdcard is really just emmc I think. It is needed for downloads and other system processes that would clog the sdcard. You can access the external card through sd_ext

Guess I wasn't clear enough. I know it's there, but /sdcard is internal storage (EMMC) and not sdcard which is what I'd prefer it to be. Also, /sdcard/sd_ext is irrelevant except that a ROM settings allows apps using the proper API to discover that the sdcard is mounted there (95% sure that's true anyway) and that's needed BECAUSE /sdcard isn't actually the sdcard. Pretty silly IMO.

If he did, he was mistaken. I do know of Twisted though I can't recall why at the moment. Also, adrynalyne most definitely knows of me (we've exchanged opinions on more than one occasion)
superchilpil, curious but does Tapatalk have an option to get rid of that sig it's adding to your posts? I've been thinking of adding support to my forums so I'm curious but the last time I tried to use it, it seemed like more trouble than just using a browser so I haven't explored it fully from the client-side.
See op-post for update.
Here is the file that I edited and use everytime I flash a new rom. It swaps SDcard and EMMC. What you have to do is copy the file in the RAR archive to the /etc folder and overwrite the one that is there. Just keep in mind that after you copy this file that the EMMC is not accessible with USB mount. I have not figured out how to do that exactly. Reboot after file overwrite.

What you have to do is copy the file in the RAR archive to the /etc folder and overwrite the one that is there. Just keep in mind that after you copy this file that the EMMC is not accessible with USB mount. I have not figured out how to do that exactly. Reboot after file overwrite.

If he did, he was mistaken. I do know of Twisted though I can't recall why at the moment. Also, adrynalyne most definitely knows of me (we've exchanged opinions on more than one occasion)
superchilpil, curious but does Tapatalk have an option to get rid of that sig it's adding to your posts? I've been thinking of adding support to my forums so I'm curious but the last time I tried to use it, it seemed like more trouble than just using a browser so I haven't explored it fully from the client-side.

The question ive asked many times before about this is: why does the internal ram have to be tied to the sdcard via ext_sd? Cant it be its own independent emmc folder or something?

It'd be sick if we could set it up as a raid 0...don't think that'd ever happen tho.

Could be possible lol. Only issue is is if you relocked/wiped the internal/etc all your data would be wrecked.
