since the brand new root for ota rc30 i can not find the general stickies for "how to keep root" installing "eng bootload" and "updating to jf 1.3" for the 90% of users who had ota rc30 where do we look. i tried checking darkrifts wiki but it is no where as detailed as these subtopics here. its telling me to copy the androidmod1.0.zip to my /system/recovery partition and copy the jf 1.3.zip to the /sdcard not renaming either but then doing a reboot... am i missing something.
can we clarify this?
i got the root... but what order do we do this in now?
edit didnt work but it seems as All of the prior stickies are over written by all of the new root your ota rc30 topics

Theres links in that thread to the wiki that explains how to install the modified updates after down grading. You have to install the recovery test keys to allow the modifed updates to be installed.
The terminal commands for doing the test key stuff is down using a terminal on your phone. Download telnet from the market and connect to localhost. You will need root access. Restart your phone and once booted, type telnetd then enter. Dont worry about a contact search coming up. Ignore it. You now have root.
ok what you are missing verbatim from rifts wiki.....
AndroidMod1.0 .xxx file G1 downloadable link (rename to .zip)
AndroidMod1.0 .zip file Non G1 download, no need to rename,
Unzip the file and copy (or adb push) recovery_testkeys.img to /sdcard
Download the modified update (Do not unzip it!):
ok its worded so funny recovery test keys is in the file mod1.0.zip but it explicitly tells you DO NOT UNZIP it ? but line 2 says copy the recovery keys in that zip to the card... then it skips to updating to jf.1.3.zip
and more glaring errors in directions?
Its a bit of a confusing read at first. Thetres 2 files to download. 1 has the tesst keys which u extract and copy to the sd card. With root access this gets written to the system artition ia terminal on the phone. then the other download is rc30 or tc8 depending if you r us which gets renamed to update.zip and goes to your sd card.
Hi all,
Can anyone please help me share my internet connection from my laptop to my Samsung Galaxy3 running Android 2.2?
I tried Connectify, Virtual Router and mHotspot but none of them work.
In case of mHotspot, I watched video on You Tube and done the same but I am not able to connect to that wi-fi network although I am able to find it by turning on my android mobile's wi-fi..
In case of Connectify and Virtual Router, I am not able to find Wireless Network on my android device. Can anyone please help?
Please let me know if any other information is required.

Thanks Bane, can you please let me know, how to Flash the mod via CWM?
Also, do you know if CWM supports SG3 as I am also trying to flash my phone to install custom ROM but not able to do so via CWM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858583
please use search
In the thread that you have provided, please let me know where to look for "how to Flash the mod via CWM"
when I downloaded mod file, it asks me which application to open the file in. I selected ROM Manager, then it reboots in recovery mode...there I have four options
Reboot system now
Install sdcard: update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
which one I need to select?
I strongly advice to spend some time here in the forum and read all the FAQs and tutorials, as they will explain everything you need to know.
as the file is called wpa_adhoc-signed.zip you need to select an option that allows you to install a .zip or you need to rename the file to update.zip and select the option to install update.zip
Bane, I searched first and then asked but I am too noob to understand all this. I renamed the file to update.zip and then reboot to recovery mode. It still says the same:
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk() (or NULL)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation Aborted
You need cwm, flash a kernel that already has it(cf-root/g3mod/simplicity) or pm mumbozver for the installer
Or you can also manually copy the files although the first method will be easier

Thanks cdesai for the reply. I am using cwm and using this only, I am rebooting my phone in recovery mode. Does "flashing a kernel that already has this solution" means that I should flash my phone with a custom ROM that already has this solution implemented?
Ok
keep the adhoc file on your sd card
reboot into cwm
(use volume buttons to navigate, home to select)
choose apply zip from sd card
select the adhoc zip file
click on yes
it should work, if not then yes you can flash place the file by root explorer or flash a custom rom that already has it implemented
to manually apply the file
open the adhoc zip
open system folder
open bin folder
extract the file wpa_supplicant and keep just the file on ur sd
open root explorer and copy the file to /system/bin (replace the old one, take a backup of it - or rename it)
Are you referring to wpa_supplicant by adhoc file?
I cannot copy the extracted file to /system/bin folder as going to that folder is graying out paste option
If I try to apply it by rebooting into recovery mode, it is giving error message:
It is getting failed with the following message:
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk() (or NULL)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation Aborted
Note: I have renamed the file to update.zip and placed it in root of sdcard before rebooting it into recovery mode. Even then, I am getting this error message.
Please help me in proceeding further.
Does anyone know an alternative method to getting CWM or rooting you phone because i updated my android to the official 2.3 update
and now i cant do anything and it says im not rooted when i am so could someone give me a link to get CWM without connecting it to the computer via USB?
Thanks!
You can replace the recovery.img, which is on .cust_backup/image with a file explorer with root access from the device(e.g es file explorer, root explorer...). You also need the "remount" app(you can find it on google play).
You must first run remount app, find the .cust_backup and remount it as rw. Then just copy the cmw recovery.img(from sd card in which you have previously put it) to the .cust_backup/image folder with the help of file explorer app.
need more info, what phone type?, what 2.3.5 upgrade did you use? if it is B526 or below, get hold of super one click 2.3.3(I think) and use it to root the phone, there is a thread on how to do this in the u8800 android development section. Then do as above and copy the recovery.img into the correct folder. Reboot and you will have cwm recovery.

Okay,you have to download the firmware version for your country,and have custom recovery installed on the phone.
So if you in UK,download the rom for your phone from UK provider.(doesnt matter if its JB or KK)
http://www.ztedevices.com/support/index.html
Once you have the rom,Use winRAR to do the following:
1.open the rom from your country in winrar so you can see the contents.
2.Open system folder (dont extract,just navigate into the folders in winrar)
3.Open "etc" folder
4.Open Firmware folder
5.Select "modem_1_wg_n.img" and extract it(i just drag and drop on desktop)
6.Open the Kitkat firmware you've downloaded using winRAR
7.Open System folder
8.Open "etc" folder
9.Open Firmware folder
10. Copy the "modem_1_wg_n.img" into that location(drag and drop from desktop)
11.winRAR asks if you want to :Add/Replace file/s? Select Yes or OK to allow it to
12.copy entire firmware to phone and reflash it on the phone from the SD card
I dont know if you can just replace the modem file after having loaded the firmware.I didnt try or test it.it may or may not work.
I am working on Custom Firmware for this phone though.
latest achievement was i managed to get the phone to see the SD card as phone storage thanks to various xda guides.this will be built in
FIrmware should be ready in a few days after testing.if anybody is interested in trying it out,let me know
problem solved...
Thank you sir...problem solved...it's really hard to be a noob...have to understand a lot of things now....I'm willing to try your firmware on my phone...upload it when done...keep up the good work...sorry for my english...
Post has been updated
I need to talk to you.... Go read my PM
installation is always aborted.. PLEASE HELP
Replied
Thanks
The thread is so useful... Keep up the good work, I don't have patience to try the new ROM!
Is there any chance for kernel supporting overclocking and undervoltage, also with more Gvernor and I/O Sheduler options?
Also Would be gorgeous if there's tap screen to wake option, this would need custom kernel too...
I'm now using DeviRSilva's kernel, which is doing great! Man, don't be afraid to relese it and continue tweaks
Still I'm a noob and maybe half of theese wishes are impossible, but would be so cool if they're possible to develop!
PD: I saw a site promoting Lollipop ROM for our L2 is that real?
PD2: Sorry for my awful English and probably stupid requests and questions...
helpppp
I have probelm, phone do not show sim card, on official site there is no serbia rom please how to fix it?
