Hi
I have flashed the cyanogenmod 7.1.0 on my htc legend which went fine, but after som time i realized the gps wasn't working, i tried for severel hours all kinds of gps fix advices i found in google but without any luck.
Because of this i want to go back to stock android 2.2 or 2.3 if possible.
I am having some problems returning to stock android and again tried severel guides.
I tried downloading the newest htc sync and run a RUU update but the updater can not connect to the phone, no htc sync support in cyanogenmod is the problem i think.
I tried downloadning severel different image files of different versions of android on to the sd card and rebot to recovery mode throug clockwork and tried flash a zip file from sd card. But either the update stops because the file is "bad" or it need a newer version of something the cyanogenmod updated when it was installed.
I can see i should be able to do a nandroid backup if i have made such one, guess the guide i used didnt mention that, only i shoud remember to backup my pictures/music/sms....
If you need any more information please ask
Hi,
try this sequence:
1. Open ROM manager application
2. Scroll down to "All clockworkMod recoveries" and click on it
3. choose from that list 2.5.0.7 and press OK
4. Now download a sense ROM from XDA like Blay0's ROM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866849 (if you want to keep this rom download also the patch for upgrade to b0.8.4)
5. Copy the ROM and patch to the SD card
6. From the ROM manager reboot into recovery
7. In recovery mode wipe data and cache
8. Still in recovery mode instal zip from SD card: first the b0.8 ROM and then the b0.8.4 patch
9 Reboot
Now you should have a stock based ROM and do whatever you like (go back to really stock rom which I don't reccommend)
Let me know how it works!
Thanks ill give it a try

Hi,
I have two galaxy 5, one with original "TIM" rom and another with Cyanogen 7.1
How can i get the original rom that came in my phone?
I want do that cos i like the original one (modified by my carrier, TIM), and i have 2 phones, one still with the original.
I want to get the original to flash the other that i've modified with Cyanogen 7.1.
Install Clockworkmod - http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/(development)-ltsecret-projectgt/
Then, it will reboot into the new recovery mode.
Go down to Backup/restore > Backup. it will show a load of processes being done. when it has finished your rom will have been backed up onto your sdcard. Copy it, put it onto the phone with cyanogen's sdcard, flash clockworkmod onto that phone and this time go to Backup/restore > Restore from sdcard. go to the place you put the rom and select it. it will do a load of processes and you're all done
Simple : Install Clockworkmod. Backup. Move to other phones sdcard. install clockworkmod. restore. done
any problems, just ask
No, ClockworkMod can't backup stock roms yet. I don't recommend this.
You cannot safely extract the entire rom (including baseband, etc.), but you can download an official ROM update from the Kies server. This would be valid for sending the phone for warranty repair, etc.
See: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-europa-5/321656-manual-device-cant-updated-workaround.html
Thanks
But for now i will stay in Cyanogen
Making the story as short as possible: I wanted to install CM7, so I factory-resetted my AT&T Captivate (with Android 2.1), what caused lots of force closes on every process and market wouldn't download anything. Tried to install the most recent version of gapps available on cyanogenmod wiki, but all it did was delete the old apks without putting anything on their place. Now I don't have market, gmail, gtalk and not even the web browser. Phone is still rooted, but as soon as I open the terminal emulator it force-closes.
Before resetting the phone, I backed up everything with ROM Manager and also Titanium Backup. But I don't know what to do with these backups, since I don't have android market and can't install any app to begin recovery. What should I do?
I'll be glad to provide more details if needed, just ask me. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Just to show I've done my reading before asking: I guess I'll have to use Odin to re-flash the phone, but I'm not sure if this is the best method. I've already messed up and I don't want to make it worse, so I though I should ask before doing anything else. On the Odin tutorial I found, they used I897UCJF6 but I have no idea if this will work with my I897UCJH7. Maybe I could flash the gapps again if I found a version for Eclair (which I have searched and downloaded, but the recovery menu won't install it, just showing "installation aborted" - should I search and download other versions?). Maybe I could build the gapps zip again using the apks from Titanium Backup. I've also tried to reset and wipe the phone again, but nothing would restore the gapps.
Some other info that might be useful.
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: I897UCJH7
Kernel version: 2.6.29
Build number: ECLAIR.UCJH7
If you can get into recovery, do a restore from their. Since you backed up using ROM Manager you will be able to restore that backup with CWM. I don't use CWM, so I'm not sure of the exact wording of the option.
Once you've restored, you should be able to then flash CM7 and gapps. You should redownload in case you had a bad download. Check the md5 if you want extra peace of mind. Also be sure that you're wiping properly and that what you're flashing is compatible with your device.
As phones vary so much, I can't offer much further assistance. It's a place to start though.

Well, I guess yesterday I was too tired to think, I just ended up panicking and couldn't think of anything to do. Luckily, thanks to your suggestion I could realize what I had to do. I'll explain for others who might have this same problem and find this topic via Google.
As I had clockworkmod installed previously, there was a folder called clockworkmod on the root of my sdcard. Inside of it, there's a zip called recovery-update.zip. Just copy it to the root of the sdcard and rename it to update.zip. Using the 3 button combo (hold volume up & down while booting), I could get to the recovery menu and chose the option to reinstall updates from sdcard, which led me to clockworkmod recovery menu. Then, I just had to choose "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard" and select the cyanogenmod_rom.zip. A couple minutes later, my phone was booting cyanogenmod, so I just had to restart it on recovery mode and redo the last steps again to install the google apps. \o/
Once again, plainjane, thanks for the enlightenment!
Sorry but I need some help. When upgrading roms a few times, no problems ever occurred. CWM always worked smoothly. Now, I have the Resurrection Remix 1.0 Pro installed and was attempting to upgrade to Resurrection Remix 1.2 AOKP. I see that when running CWM I only had to choice to access the "download" folder on the scard. When attempting to install the Remix 1.2 rom, I always end up with an e signature fail. I tried several times but had the same results. I had to reboot and stay with Remix 1.0 until someone can help me get the upgraded rom installed. I wiped all the data and reset, and don't know what else to do.
Please help!!
OK, not sure the procedure you made... but might also be that some files you got were corrupted. Check to see they all are fine before going ahead with this way to install:
Do a full wipe(factory reset+cache+dalvik cache)
Install the Main ROM
Install Siyah-v3.0.1-CWM.zip
Reboot
Do the initial setup of things
Go back to CWM and install navigation button fix
Reboot
Then go back to CWM and install app themes (there are some bugs, but if you want the black themes, then install classic first, then black)
Reboot
Some people have other issues after, but see how this goes.
I would change the DPI settings to 184 or 210 for everything to work fine from market apps.
*if have more problems, just reply here.
Is the file on an external SD?
It's wherever you put it, though some files will only flash properly from external SD.
I think it's the internal sd

At first I thought I had the files on the external sd card, but when rebooting in recovery with CWM it looked like it was only allowing me to access the download folder on the internal sd card.
Thanks for any suggestions.

The CWM that came with the remix 1.0 pro rom is that weird one that seems to have to boot from the other little app. Do you recall this is the CWM zip file that was added to the files to download for the remix 1.0 pro rom. It doesn't appear to have the same flexibility that the CWM had that came with my previously used rom...remix 9.4
Any comments??
With 1.0 its 3e (stock recovery) so you have to put cwm.zip in your external SD or your cache then flash it through 3e. Now you have cwm. If its the one from westcrip its touch so don't use the volume buttons.. actually touch the screen.
Hopefully that helps.

Does the same thing... but it's a touch version.
There is a newer 1.3 version out now for Resurrection Remix with far simpler installing procedure... and people have reported most bugs fixed now (maybe a couple remain to be found).

Now, I'm really scratching my head. When I try installing the 1.3 rom it begins ....but returns this message and then aborts.
E: failed to verify whole-life signature
E: signature verification failed
I re downloaded the rom 1.3 to make sure it wasn't corrupt, and it did the same thing. Then I downloaded remix 1.2 just to see if this would install properly. I got the same result with the failed signature coming up in red and then it aborts. So something is not allowing me to change roms?? At present I have remix 1.0 installed.
Please I need some assistance figuring this out. I don't know what to do now?
Thanks in advance
Check if your current rom is having any beta releases of siyah 3.0, if so then it would be the cause, download cf root, or any latest version of custom kernel in tar format and flash it via Odin, now enter cwm and flash the new rom, you would be good to go
#*posted on the move *#
Works fine ....but is there a GPS problem?
I got the darn thing installed. Thanks. I was able to install the CWM......one that worked properly and the remix 1.3 got installed without a hitch. One problem I'm noticing the the GPS taking a whole bunch of time trying to locate sats. Is there is gps fix ??
Thanks

Thank you in advance to any one that helps
Hey,
Im assuming that you still have a factory standard phone so you will first need to root it. If you search google there is loads of guides on how to do this.
then you need to download and install CWM recovery (clockworkmod) again another google search
then you can proceed to the rom installation instructions
download the ROM (zip file ... dont unzip) and stick it somewhere on your SD card
turn your phone off then boot in to recovery by holding volume up, menu key and power button then do factory reset etc and then install zip from sd card (the zip being the ROM)
Please press the thanks button on this reply if you found it helpful
Cheers

Read and learn, everything is there for a noob : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24849218&postcount=3 thanks to JJE
Keep reading. All will come together. Basics first. Root then look on how to install roms. Patience.

First step you need to do is root the phone. I used the guide here after following what the guy was doing a few times in the video.
Then BACKUP YOUR EFS FOLDER as soon as you have root. An app called HC-KTool on the android market can do this. Be sure to verify your backup too and copy the efs.img to your PC for safe keeping.
Get titanium backup and batch backup all user apps and system data. Copy the folder on your internal SD onto your PC also.
Boot into CWM and make a backup here too.
Now you are ready to flash a ROM - Resurrection Remix ICS 1.4 here contains links and FAQ.
As it's your first ROM install you should follow the full installation guide in the FAQ. I stayed with the stock kernel as had problem with siyah and theroux.
Sorry, I am new to all of this. I recently just rooted my t959 and it is running on 2.2. I've been looking for tuts on how to update to Slim Bean 4.1.2, but haven't found any. I also don't understand the OP instructions.
Upgrading Slim Bean
Unless we specify otherwise in changelog
Reboot to recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache then just flash your device zip. If you were with SlimBean 2.7 or newer you are done, all your addons will be backed up.
If you are on an earlier SlimBean version then 2.7 please flash also all the addons you need. Reboot.
From Froyo/GB Rom to SlimBean
Get yourself booted with cm9 or cm10. then follow the steps "From another JB or ICS ROM"
From another JB or ICS Rom to SlimBean
Download device_x.x.zip, slim_gapps.zip.
Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)
Flash Device_x.x.zip***, then MUST flash slim_gapps.zip (other files optional)
*** - If the flash is too quick ( < 5 seconds or so), reflash device before flashing common or other zip files.

Would anyone be kind enough to post a step by step or a link on how to update it?

Since SlimBean is based off CyanogenMod 9/10 and needs alot of the kernel/firmware flashes, you must flash CM 10 or 9 before flashign Slim Bean.
The easiest way to do this is through ClockworkMod Recovery and the easiest way to get ClockworkMod installed is through ROM Manager.
1. Download ROM Manager through Play Store
2. Open up ROM Manager and select the first option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
3. Download CyanogenMod 10 and the latest Slim Bean which should be version 2.8
4. Reboot into recovery through the option in ROM Manager
5. Clear data, cache, and Dalvik cache.
6. Install ZIP from SD Card > Choose ZIP from SD Card > Pick CyanogenMod 10 FIRST
7. Let it flash all the way through and then reboot your phone when you are back at the recovery menu
8. Boot into CyanogenMod 10 ROM and play around to make sure everything is working and good
9. Go into Play Store and install ROM Manager again
10. This time, just boot into recovery. No need to reflash ClockworkMod since you already have it.
11. Clear data, cache, and Dalvik cache.
12. Install ZIP from SD Card > Choose ZIP from SD Card > Pick SlimBeanT959 rom this time
13. Reboot into SlimBean to make sure everything works. If so, go back into recovery and flash the Slim Gapps and whatever else you may want to use.
Good luck and enjoy SlimBean.
