Hello All,
(Sorry this might seem long but if you are good at rooting it's a quick read)
I could use some help. I have a rooted Eris and I have flashed a few different ROM's without a problem (New to rooting and flashing). I was recently running xtrsense and tried to flash a lockscreen called 3ring.zip. After that my network was lost. I do not have a nandroid backup (I now know why I should although I thought I did the first flash but can't find it now) and have re-flashed, wiped, factory reset numerous times with no luck. Everytime I do the phone goes through the setup but tells me that I don't have a network and to use wifi. It's not my Verizon account because I have reconnected an old phone in the meantime with no problem.I even installed a flashback zip to unroot but it doesn't work (it tells me E: No signature (1873 files) and E: Verification Failed and Installation Aborted).
I could really use someone's help.
Thanks,
CJ
Did you try re-activating the phone? Dial *228 and choose option 1.
Doing this from xtrSENSE should be fine. See if that helps.
Those error messages from flashing Flashback sound like you had an incomplete download. You also get error messages if you try to flash with a battery less than 30% (I think... it may be 25%?) but I think that the error is different.

Hi,
I really, really hope someone can help me with this: I have an unbranded europeans GSm hero on the Dutch Telfort network. I was really looking forward to the official 2.1 update, but I can't even install the preparing OTA-update (including the YouTube update). I'd be really grateful if someone can help me out!!!!!!
Firmware: 1.5
Build: 2.73.405.5 146733 CL#61267 release-keys
Software: 1.0.0.A62888
My computer: Windows 7 (64), HTC Sync and drivers installed
OTA update
About two weeks ago I received the preliminary update notification on my phone (4.6mb or somehting like that). I downloaded it and in the next window I chose to install it. The phone rebooted, but remained stuck in de HERO screen forever. I removed the battery, rebooted it, changed the date, received the OTA again, but same thing happened. Apparently, the update cannot install.
I figured it might have something to do with my current build not allowing the update, so I tried installing the original RUU from HTC. But that didnt work either: it kept saying "waiting for bootloader..." and eventually gave some USB-error message (error 171). So it seems it cannot connect to my phone. Other RUU's don't work either. Downgrading therefore seems impossible too.
Recovery image
It appeared to me that perhaps my recovery image is broken as I once unsuccessfully tried to root my Hero (Tell me, is this related? i really dont know). I used the flashrec method back then, but it didnt seem to work. Afterwards, other flashing attempts using Flashrec or abd via the terminal didnt work either.
Flashrec gave "backup failed: remote not allow" or "backup failed: image invalid" or somehting like that.Adb says "device not found" or "remote failed" or "somethign similar" Somehow I have the idea the recovery image is corrupted, but the flashrec requires you to back it up before writing the new image. As it wont backup, it doesnt allow to install the new image.
I asked HTC for help, but they were of no avail: they advised me to do a factory reset. That worked, but the problem remains and the OTA update still won't install. I e-mailed them again, but they are not very guick at replying.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this and has anyone had similar problems? I'd really like to know. To be able to install the official 2.1 would be great, a stable custom 2.1/2.2 rom would be fine too.
Please be very clear in any steps you might describe cause some of the walkthroughs are not really clear to me.
I am even willing to give the person who is able to help me a voucher for some webshop, cause I'm getting really annoyed with my phone now.

I eventually got it to work: I used a computer with winXP instead of my Windows 7 (64bit), which at least helped me install to wipe the phone, install a working RUU and eventually, the OTA update worked.
That was months ago... now I'm trying the 2.2 Sense port for my Hero and it seems to be giving less problems than the official update LOL
I have been trying to add a rom to my lg optimus-t for pretty much the whole afternoon. I rooted it fine but when I tried to install AmunRa to make a recovery but that failed that was ok though since the ROM I ended up choosing asked for a different recovery system. The ROM I chose to use ciaox's openoptimus build
So I installed ROM Manager and did a recovery with clockwork mod, everything seemed fine until I loaded the clockworkMod and got E: bad boot message "recovery" I decided to continue anyways and followed the steps and when I finished part one it actually booted up, but I was unable to see any icons. All I was able to see was the lock screen and the network manager bar at the top.
There is a second part so I thought maybe if I went through all of the steps it would fix itself. It was all going great until I got to phase 2 #16 because it just wouldn't do it and the error message I got was "you cannot program the qcsbl header without the partition". in my infinite wisdom (dun dun dun) I decided to re-install everything, went to the recovery file and nothing happened, said it didn't exist. I had the rom so I decided to wipe the phone again and re-install it, now it doesn't even load and I realized I should have stopped to re-install somethings in the beginning.
Thankfully the clockworkMod recovery still boots and I have all functionality there(Well except for the recovery), so is there anyway for me to get 2.2 and install that into my phone to start all over again? A quick answer would be awesome, sorry for the novel, TIA.
Edit: got the rom up and running again, but I am back at the :"The Application settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" stage where I get the full unlock screen and the top bar that work, the emergency dialer still works as well. I tried doing phase2 again and following the instructions, but the phone goes into emergency mode and shuts off. At this point I'm thinking of trying another more simple ROM where I dont have to change the basebands, does that sound like a good idea?
hi all,
Since a week or 2 my phone is constantly giving messages like this: "The application LogsProvider (process com.sec.android.provider.logsprovider) has stopped unexpectedly"
When i make a new contact or a new file on my phone, it disapears after rebooting. When i uninstall all my apps and reboot the phone, all the apps are back and nothing has been uninstalled. Even when i format the sd card on my pc, and reboot the phone, all the content is back as if nothing has happened.
When i try to reset it to factory settings, it opens in recovery mode. When i then select to wipe all data or wipe cache and reboot, nothing has happened to it, everything is still on the phone like before. Even when i deselect the backup and automatic recovery checkboxes before i reset to factory settings, nothing has been wiped.
When i try to update the phone with kies, the update installs correctly, but when the phone reboots, the same old firmware is still installed and the settings are intact.
When i try to update the phone with Odin, everything goes well, and it says 'pass' in green color. when i reboot the phone, the same old firmware and settings are still there.
I run stock firmware from november '11, which i can tell by dialing *#1234*
Can anyone help me identify this problem, and is there a solution? It really looks like this phone has some write protection or something..
i made a youtube video that describes the problem, but this forum doesn't allow me to make a link.
anyway, my phone stays stuck on the 3rd of september and that sucks.. any solutions plz?
the video
i can't post the link, so let's try it like this:
First type the 'www', then the 'youtube', then the '.com', then type 'watch?v=n6SH8QDJr94&feature=g-upl'
Flash custom kernel, do a factory reset in CWM and see if the data is gone.
i've already tried to install cwm, but first i needed to root my phone. When i tried to root it, it could not find the Root.zip on the sd card, although i'm pretty sure i put it there, it just disapeared after the reset, just like all the other files..
Flash it [kernel] through Odin (PC).
allright, i will try that, thanks already!
ehm, even that didn't do anything, i will upload a youtube video in a few minutes..
the youtube video:
type 'youtube', then '.com', then '/watch?v=P_D2EbPF0Ik&feature=youtu.be', without the '..
really strange how i can update the kernel and nothing has changed!
I really start thinking there is some kind of write protection or the internal storage is totaly screwed up?
Seems your nand is partially borked, and is stuck in a state where it will not update the memory, so it is "stuck" at a specific point in time.
I have heard that it's POSSIBLE (and I stress possible) that flashing with repartition ticked with the PROPER .pit file will resolve your issue, but I cannot say this with any certainty as I have not actually done this myself. But at this point, it seems you don't really have anything to lose by trying.
I can't seem to find a reliable download link for the .pit file for the I9100 right now... it's called u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit. I'll see if I can't find one when I have a spare moment.
EDIT: Found one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28321934&postcount=35. BUT!!! Only use it if you are positive you have an I9100. (check on the label under the battery) Flash it with a stock firmware with re-partition checked.
False alarm. Turns out the link is dead.
EDIT 2: This looks promising... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448351
I installed software that adjusted the fonts and then had to reflash the phone. The problem is that the fonts have all disappeared so it shows no text anywhere. I have tried to install the font zip update to try and replace them and having tried several zip files they all come up with an signature verification error and refuse to install.
The problem is I cannot get the phone to run properly without the fonts - its not rooted so it wont install them, I cant get a copy of the phone rom. Is there any way I can get this phone back and working without having the phone actually working in normal (non recovery) mode?
I have flashed phones before so I have experience with this sort of thing but this has me completely stumped.
flash this font http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=7704
It didnt work. Same error. Am using SD card to try and install and every single time get this E:signature verification error. Have tried looking elsewhere on here and found nothing that makes any sense as to solving this problem - I dont really want to chuck out a perfectly useable phone so if anyone has any ideas, pleae let me know.
I hope this is the best place to post this. If not, I am very sorry. I have found a few posts with same message BUT all of them I found were when this happens after installing a rom or updating, etc...
I have a Virgin s2. I just have original stock rom, Ive done nothing at all to it. I changed out my batteries, turned it on, then after it got loaded I got a popup saying "unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped"! I restarted then as soon as i tried to do something, i received it again. I restarted again & didnt get message til I had opened google & was waiting for search results to come up when I got message saying something about couldnt find a mobile network (or something like that), then got the "unfortunately the process....." popup. It started popping up over & over, including when I got a phone call (which made it impossible to answer, however I was able to call them back okay). I have already tried:
taking out the sdcard;
booting into recovery then wiping the cache partition;
booting into safe mode.
The popup &problem still continued. Oddly, after my husband ran "CM Security" though it found no problems, it was a little bit before it did it again and even now it doesnt popup quite as often as it had been but it still is enough to probably make the day at work very aggravating lol.
Please say theres still some hope! I'm not able to buy another phone right now. I am capable of doing anything possible to save it if you just tell me what would be best to do. I saw somewhere when I searched Google say that installing a custom recovery would probably fix it. If so, please point me to where I can find all the necessary things &instructions I need. Or if it would be better to do a factory reset, please tell me how to do it on this phone (or if I just need to go to recovery & simply do it).
ALSO I do have an identical s2 except it is Sprint & I havent came across a detailed guide for flashing the s2 from Sprint to Virgin that doesnt require the newest paid version of cdma workship, which i cannot currently afford.
Thank you for your time & assistance.
FIXED (at least so far)!
SOLVED!!! (I hope:fingers-crossed
Went ahead & just backed up contacts to sd card, then did a Reset through Recovery. So far no "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" message. :highfive:

Great to hear you fixed (or partially fixed) your problem. The problem with updating stock roms using OTA or kies is that sometimes a factory reset or clearing the cache is required to remove some left over apps or unneeded files that might potentially make your phone give errors (like the ones you were experiencing). It is highly unlikely it is a software issue, unless it was a dodgy download, moreover unfinished file deletion or unneeded files would have caused this to happen.
