Downloads Failed

Why is it that when I try to download large files over my phone like roms they always always fail. I have no problem following something small that's maybe 4 mb but whenever I go to download a rom they always fail. No matter what browser I use. Any ideas guys??

Stock Browsers Do not support certain file types. You can always use Opera Mini Browser to download files. Search it on google play. Although it is recommended that you use a computer when downloaded a large amount of data to prevent corruption in data packets. By the way are you currently rooted.? PM Me details.

And also if you are dwnloading roms I reccommend Rom Manager. They have a large amount of compatible rom for you device.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... no one recommends Rom Manager around here especially if you read threads. We at xda like to do things on our own.. Please my friend and anyone in the view of these letters I have typed, leave Rom Manager alone and learn how to do things manually... It could save your phone one day..
My friend Kelsey Jones who needs files downloaded just download Download All from the market and all your problems will be solved...

I personallu do not use rom manager anymore. But for the Newbies its easier because flashing via recovery isn't needed. And al roms are compatible. If yu look at the above post I also recommended using opera browser or using a computer. I'm not telling that she should use rom manager. I'm simply throwing utilities out there FOR HER possible convience. I am a rom dev. And I know that it is super easy to brick your phone a incompatible rom therefore it could be MTD Typed and your on BML Etc. But great suggestion using Download All. It is also a great utility.

+1 for download all files, I have used it since the Hero with very few corrupted or incomplete downloads.
-1 for ROM manager. It is bad news for this device. The recovery partition being combined with the kernel makes it incompatible. Maybe for the device you are on (or coming from Androperz), but it shouldn't even be considered for our device.

When I had my evo I never used rom manager because it would always want to install CWM. I always used Amon Ra recovery to flash my roms and kernels. But now that I have this phone it seems like CWM is the only recovery available?

There are also rogue repacks, but they are strongly advised against using to flash on ICS. El26 with CWM is just the safest way to flash.

Amon is the right ticket with your Evo but here its ok to go with Rogue recovery. I had an Evo as well an understand how you feel. Unfortunately our choices are quite slim for the Epic.

[Q] Frankenstein Ego

I flashed this rom and kept my EL29 kernel. Does that mean in order to get this Rom and get my CWM recovery back I have to reset my phone to stock and start all over again with the EL26? Also, is the swype keyboard in the rapps, and how do i get the face unlock to work?

When you flashed Frankenstein rom, your kernel changed to the FE21 kernel included with the rom so not sure what you mean by you kept el29 kernel since that's not compatible with ICS. The reason you have stock android recovery now is because of all the bricking issues performing certain functions in custom ICS recovery so devs are leaving out custom recovery from their roms. So yes, when you want to change roms, backup, etc., you must go back to the el26 cwm kernel first and flash, backup, etc. from there. Not sure about your last two questions since I'm not using that rom. Let me know if you need anything else.

Not to sure what you mean by that. If you're saying what I think you're saying, yes you must use el26 cwm kernel whenever flashing anything ICS related or backing up or restoring. Using anything else and you risk bricking your phone.

Slick_rick is correct, as far as Swype i just sign up for the Swype beta from you phone browser to get a download for it, that way i always have it to restore with titanium so i can get Swype on any rom. There's also some Swype keyboards floating around in the app section but i haven't tried them. They should work though.

Wow... I needed this thread. I just recently went through what I thought were all the instructions to flash this rom. I had previously used the PD Odin executable routine to upgrade from Gingerbread to ICS. I saw the reviews on this rom and really liked what I saw. I used Odin 1.85 to set up CWM-El26 so I could flash this ROM. I got everything working ( I do get that yellow triangle on reboots) but I did notice the CWMod Recovery does not stay on the phone. It reverts back to the basic ICS Recovery (where I GUESS you cannot flash zip files). Now all this said... After flashing this ROM, I am still on FE16. Is there something else I am missing.
I got into rooting when I had my Dinosaur Moment, and now I have that itch again. Thanks again for all your help!

Swype is in the removed apps. You have to Unknown Sources checked under device administration. You can mount your phone, add the swype.apk file to the phone, and install it using the astro file manager. I still go back and forth between swype and the stock ICS keyboard. Word prediction seems to work better in the stock.

Oh well your cwm recovery disappeared because it wasnt packed into the kernel that came with the rom you flashed. And you can get rid of the yellow triangle using a USB jig or an app called triangle away. Just Google search something like "triangle away apk+chainfire+xda" and you should be able to find it.

Hey... I hit the thank button but I got the triangle away and it worked like a charm! Thanks again. Maybe they can get the CWM 5.0.2.7 to stay packaged in the ROM setups in the future!

so i tried to redo this flash with the el26 kernel. but then my phone started acting crazy, telling me that the calendar storage stopped working. finally after putting frankenstein back on my phone, it stopped coming up. the only problem im experiencing now is that i cant download pics in my text messaging. but i can use my 3g, 4g, and wifi for everything else. I dunno if this is because im in PR or because i messed something up. Please give me some feedback if you know anything

You started up with el26? That will never work with this rom. You need an ics kernel.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium

i know. but when you flash the rom it changes to ics. im saying, initially i started with the el29. QBkind77 advises to flash it after having the el26 installed, but i was too hasty.

Hmmh...i only ever do el26 never el29. I'm not sure what happened then. You are correct if you flashed the ROM it is ics. It must have been a bad flash or a bad download as well, sorry.

[ROM][CM9][AOKP] Temporary Stock E4GT from emmc

Epic Touch Blog: Temporary Stock E4GT from emmc
Utility for CM9 Epic Touch
This is a temporary ROM that boots Samsung's Gingerbread EL29 firmware entirely from emmc without making any changes to the ROM currently installed on your phone. When you reboot, you return to recovery where you can re-flash the ROM to return to CM9. This temporary ROM is useful for several purposes.
Update Profile.
Update PRL.
Sprint Activation.
Dial codes and diagnostic mode.
This should be helpful to users of any AOSP-based ROM including CM9, AOKP, etc.
Thanks to noobnl and mkasick for making this possible!

Really nice thanks a lot.

Its for AOSP roms. You currently can't update PRL/Profile, activate your device, or use dialer codes on them so this temporarily allows you to boot stock el29 off the SD card without changing your current rom. You can do what i said from there. Saves you time from doing backups, restoring, etc.

2. I flashed directboot CWM utilizing mobile odin which correctly booted me into CWM version 5.0.2.7
3. I flashed boot_EL29.zip at location /emmc/multiboot/EL29 and received the following messages that appear to be correct.

At this point I expected the phone to reboot into the temporary rom; however, it just shows the standard recovery menu. No reboot occured.
5. Because no automatic reboot occured, I selected "reboot system now" from CWM. Unfortunately this just brings me back into directboot CWM.
Thanks in advance for any help provided.

I am having the same problem I thought it could have been the downloading or unpacking so I downloaded it again and unpacked it and still have the same problem.

When done updating prl/profile, etc. Just reboot your phone and it will take you back to cwm recovery. From there you can either just reflash the rom or just a compatible kernel so it boots.

I wouldn't say its very common as there are tons of people flashing and we dont hear about half the forum crying about corrupting their imei, thats not to say that its a non issue though. As you can probably see from the numerous threads (main one in the att development). Its advisable to wait, but with any flash you know the risk you are taking.
I was actually holding off till yesterday, ended up just saying eff it and flashed, did the non trip rooting, flashed the latest cwm from the official cwm site. Flashed Aokp, no imei wipe (was scared ****less the whole time though ) Decided i didnt even like the AOKP rom and flashed my carriers stock rom again through odin, So far so good.
However in the future im waiting for a full solution to this imei problem before i root or flash again. :good:
Id say just read the threads, if you understand the risks and want to proceed go ahead. good luck

So you went through all the steps and your fine? Thanks I may wait A week or so the stock Rom is actual nice I just like to try new stuff

Dirty Clean Flashing

I know this is a noob question to ask and has probably been asked but the way I have flashed every single rom was like this:
-Flash back to Stock Rooted EL29
-Flash EL26 kernel
-Flash rom..
So I want to flash Touched by a SGS4 1.5 gb27 but I am currently running stock rooted GB27, Is it called dirty flashing if I flash directly from my current setup, by flashing EL26 kernel then flashing this rom? Or Do I have to go back to el29 and repeat the process?
Thanks.. ...

Your step one flashing el29 is not necessary. Dirty flashing is flashing el26 then flashing a different rom or update and only wiping dalvik and cache. Generally if you are moving between different roms it is best to wipe system and data. Being that there could be alot of headache.

Patrao is right. You do not need to flash back to GB stock before flashing from JB to JB. Since you are already running gb27, your partitioning is good to go. Dirty flash simply replaces your current Rom with the new one. Wall paper, contacts, downloaded apps, all stay. Full wipe(clean flash) involves wiping data, which wipes everything I just listed above, including all of your settings, contacts texts, etc. Try dirty flash first. Since you are on jb, you have nothing to lose. Just reboot to recovery, do a backup, wipe cache and dalvik only, then flash new ROM. If you have issues, just reboot back to recovery and flash it clean. But I always flash dirty, jb to jb, and haven't had any issues. Good luck

What recovery did you clean flash from?
With TBSGS4 or most if not all ROMs flash EL26+CWM or EL29 Direct boot kernel and do your full wipe and flash from one of those recoveries.
That's what I have up in the OP under install directions. Trust me I bootlooped a few times flashing from agat's recovery.

What recovery did you clean flash from?
With TBSGS4 or most if not all ROMs flash EL26+CWM or EL29 Direct boot kernel and do your full wipe and flash from one of those recoveries.
That's what I have up in the OP under install directions. Trust me I bootlooped a few times flashing from agat's recovery.

With what? About flashing from EL26 or EL29. That's for clean flashing. I'm going to be making update zips for each new version as well as a full ROM so no more dirty ROM flashes.
Under my install directions it has clean flash from EL26 (preferably) or EL29 DB kernel. Also in post #4 has that in the "How to flash a custom ROM." Section.

Problem's been solved.

my friend , I am suffering the similarity as you were . Could you give me some advice? here is my situation:
I want to taste the White Out Rom V.4 or the Re-Calked in Jellybean ROM V1.1.
At first ,I was in Jellyverse 3.0 GB27 , so I flash EL26 kernel , flash JB.Format_All_X2 ,and flash rom ,but it repeated the first screen ,restart and restart.
Then I flash it back to EL29,repeat the process just said, still my S2 repeated again and again at the first screen.
all the best !!gratitude and gratitude!

Did you wrote wipe everything exactly according to the install instructions? Sounds like not. Also, re-download the ROM, sounds like you may have a bad dl as well.

good friend ,I flash a JB.Format_All_X2 after flshing a EL 26 kernel , so the area of data ,system ,cache, preload are all formatted twice. So I think I've done as the introduction. Do you mean there is something else I haven't wipe????????
On the other hand , the situation I said occurs frequently. Does a bad download occurs frequently ??
need your further advice. Gratitude!!!!

Easiest way to see if you have a good download almost every time is download the ROM to your PC check the MD5 then transfer to your phone
And check the MD5 again. You would be surprise how many times I've gotten a bad d/l when downloading to my phone.
