Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 Root Issues

Hey guys need some help...
I downloaded the e4gauto root from the sticky. I followed the instructions, selected option a, the program did its thing and said its complete. I downloaded the rom manager from the market and downloaded Calkulins E4GT ROM v 2.8.1. I tried to install it through rom manager / sd card but I get an error message. I also tried to back up my current rom and got the same error.
Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Then use the auto root and install the el29+cwm.
After that wipe wipe wipe install calks rom.
Edit: make sure to have ure phone in usb debbuging when using the auto root program.

lol. why is everyone doing auto root and all that. I would just odin a kernel with cwm infused. then go into recovery and flash your modems roms and kernels.

Make sure you are rooted. The "complete" message doesn't mean it gave you root access. You can look for super user in you apps . If you have it then download a program that requires root from the market to test and see if the root access is functioning properly. then download the ROM again. sometimes roms will have corrupt files when you download them. And to be safe and sure boot in to recovery and install from there instead of using ROM manager. Follow the standard procedure of flashing (wipping and etc...). Good luck.

1) In settings- update os
2) It said that here is a new one
3) Download it
4) Press "Install"
5) Phone is rebooting
6) ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.2.7 opened
7) Error in the bottom of screen:
Code:
"Finding update package..."
"E: unknown volume for path [INTERNALSDCARD:Download/blah-blah-blah.zip]
"E: Can't mount INTERNALSDCARD:Download/blah-blah-blah.zip"

What should i do to update my firmware? Thx.

You need to flash stock recovery and make sure you haven't deleted any system apps or flashed any system mods for the ota to work.
Or you could update using a ruu, it wipes your phone data but you get a fresh install

Have a look at this program http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25656320
Put your phone in fastboot usb, run the program and pick the option for flash stock recovery. Then pick the recovery of the version your on, hit enter and jobs done

Download the program in my last post to your pc
Put your phone into fastboot then connect to pc
Double click the run me file on your pc and wait for the program to pop up
Pick the option that says flash stock recovery
Then pick the option to flash 1.29 recovery.
Reboot your phone then try the ota

If you do not know even the basic steps to unlocking, flashing etc... then I suggest you stop right now before you end up with a $800 paperweight on your desk.
There are a number of threads in the Dev section that give you step by step instructions on what to do, just search. If you still don't understand then read again. If you still don't understand after reading again then stay clear of rooting, it's not for you.

I unlock it and it's working good. I flashed some programms, but i just don't know how to update, cuz in ClockworkMod there is nothing about firmware update.
I tried to search, but didn't find exactly what i need.

I guess you did not relock your bootloader.
You should follow this tutorial.

Hi Guys,
I ahve the same problem. I unrooted my phone, flashed stock recovery, locked my bootloader and resetted to factory default. It still won't update and gives a "warning" logo and then resets as if nothing happened.

I had the same errors.
I could't recovery - it just keept rebooting to fastloader.
I send it to be repaid but was told that the phone was parallel import and it would cost me the same as a new phone to fix it bcos of new "motherbord"...
It seems reasonably. The box did't have any danish manuals and the firm closed down few weeks after I bought it (danlet.dk). The repair guy said it was ment for Germany...

You could try one the custom roms based on 1.29.401.11 which is flashable in clockwork recovery along with the kernel via fastboot.

If you have Clockwork Recovery installed you cannot update over the air. You have two options:
1) Flash back to Stock recovery, update OTA and then flash Clockwork again
2) Flash a custom ROM that is already based on .11

thanks man

[Q] Cant install OTA jelly bean update with CWM

So I've been lurking these forums for quite a while over the years. Anyway I used the root method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039421which worked flawlessly, I must add.
Today I received notification that a new version of android was ready to be installed and now upon reboot I'm stuck in a loop. CWM recovery boots but cannot install the update.zip. i get the following error messages:
installing /sdcard/update.zip
finding update package
E: cant mount /sdcard/update.zip
Installation aborted.
Manually trying to browse for the zip file does nothing. Ive tried clearing davik/fixing permissions. Is there any way of updating besides flashing the stock recovery?

You are currently unlocked and thus cannot update via ota. Also, the current update is still ics. You probably need to come to irc for help.

Thanks to all the guys on irc and especially shelnutt2! you guys are awesome

I have the same problem, please help!
I have the same problem with my optimus g. Can someone please help! What is irc?

The IRC is a web chat room where the devs work on the device and help people with soft bricked phones and many other issues.
Can find it at WWW. http://webchat.freenode.net and the room is lg-optimus-g if I remember correctly I at work and don't have my comp with me.

Jelly bean update?

This is caused by your bootloader being unlocked. Restore your boot.img and associated files that you backed up during the FreeGee process and you will be good to go.

I think trying to install an ota without the stock recovery screws up the misc partition. I would recommend:
1. Don't upgrade with ota's (duh)
2.If you do, get help in irc before you do something the helpful folks there don't know how to fix.

[Q] galaxy nexus 4.2 stock recovery

my bro got a rooted galaxy nexus with CWM recovery !
we want to install the OTA updates (Device status is normal so he can download the update) the problem is he gets Failed message when he tries to install updates because of CWM recovery! anyone knows how to get back to Stock recovery on nexus i'm noob in nexus fastboot stuff (CMD fastboot command)! also the proper stock recovery.img PLZ ... (i've attached a screen shot of the setting -> About device Screen).

he does not get the error message because of CWM.
he gets the error message because something isnt stock.
what is the assert error message when you try and install the update in CWM?

If you want to set the phone to stock...

If you want to just update to a newer/non-stock ROM, pick one and flash it.

either way, his phone isnt stock. thats the problem. he modded some system file or tried a diff radio, etc.
its not failing because of cwm.

looks like i need to backup every thing and flash a stock ROM! where can i find the latest official rom for galaxy nexus ?
or what about CM is it stable enough for Daily use?

4.1.2 Update problem

I started posting on a thread in the general section but think it is better suited over here. I apologize for the double post but thought it would get more eyes with a suggestion on it over here.
I was running a Stock ROM, rooted and unlocked 4.1.1. I have not been able to update to 4.1.2. I tried using CWM, TWRP, stock recovery and ODIN. CWM and TWRP give an error and won't install the update. I completely reflashed to stock and downloaded the OTA using the stock method. It tries to udpate and stops. After restarting it gives a message that the update was interupted.
I have tried installing the update through stock recovery with the file on the external SD card and the following message appears.
The other message that comes up when trying to update through stock recovery is
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Facelock.apk", :c0c83a8c5d02786abed70758022dce17e1fb3a6f", "1bel1a17f8063aba12220a38a38caa7b3382ec96bbeb")

Flash stock rooted 4.1.2 in cwm or twrp, you can find it in room development, you need to flash modem and firmware first which you will find in loser skaters first post of stock rooted 4.1.2

It sounds like your stock Rom is rooted. Unroot and try again. Same thing happened top me this morning as i did the update.zip again for a project. Unrooted with SuperSU and then it ran like normal. Don't forget to back up your internal sd, as it will be wiped in the process

You can just flash the already rooted 4.1.2?
Unless you want to download it from att? Wouldn't make sense to me.

I had similar problem, but the error was with bootanimation. I found my original file and put it where the update was looking for it. I am willing to bet that the Facelock.apk is not in /system/app or there is a problem with that file.
