I was trying to install a .zip file onto my phone, the update/hack to have the fascinate lockscreen on my vibrant, and I was wondering how to install it. I downloaded the LockScreenChoice_UVJI6_clockwork.zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797431 and put it on my phone. Then I booted my phone in clockwor mod and hit install zip from sd card and I selected the zip, I then let it install, but it stayed on the installing screen for 12+ hours, I needed to use my phone so I finally just took out the battery. I know that it did something because my market stopped working and that was one of the complaints from the forum that I got the "hack" from...What did I do wrong and how do i get this .zip to work?
which rom did you have before you flashed the zip?
^ that question.
The ROM may not have supported another lockscreen mod, and this happened, if you confirm to us which ROM you are using then we can actually start helping you.

If you are not using a 2.1 based rom (like Axura, bionix, Loki, etc) then these may not compatible, these were done in October, We need to know the rom you have installed,
Besides, if you Are using a 2.2 custom rom, then these already are installed.
so i am guessing this is a vibrant, and not a fascinate as your topic implies?
Really sorry, yes it is for the vibrant. the rom I was using was just the stock rom, my firmware is 2.1-update1 though and my build is eclair.uvji6 and my baseband version is t959uvji6 also my kernel is 2.6.29 hope that helps
Which Zip did you use?
I used the ji6 zip, not the deodexed one, but the odexed one
I honestly did not know what went wrong, it looks like you did everything correctly. Do you mind using a custom rom? Because Bionix Final have the lock screen build it and to fix your phone, you probably have a reflash stock, either way you have to flash your phone.
If you don't mind moving to 2.2, you can even try the new Bionix-V, which also have the lock screens built in.
I would prefer to stay with a 2.1 rom, but I would not mind having a custom rom as long as it does not change the appearance too much, and I can get the lock screen. Where can I find this rom and a description of it?
p.s. is there any other way to make this work?
i dont want to have my hand held every step of the way so i will try to outline what i believe i need to do and hopefully someone can confirm and correct me.
here goes....
first use this method, apparently method 2 better, to downgrade...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227
i then need to follow a process to either root it and leave it as 3.0.1 but rooted or install a custom rom that is rooted? if i need to install custom rom due to that instability mentioned in method 2 i could just put a stock but rooted 3.2 i believe. is there a list of rooted 3.2 roms that i can just install without playing around with kernels or whatever? which is the best currently?
thanks guys and please be gentle
I used the downgrade to 3.0.1, root that, install cwm by thor, then for now flashed Taboonay.
I too am looking for a Rom that fits me right. I'll report back if I find it.
<warning>**** I Void Warranties ****</warning>
cheers mate. idecided to use method 1 and it went without a hiccup. i then rooted.
for now i will leave it with stock 3.0.1 rooted as i am sure ice cream sandwich will be out in a short period and then i will look to put a rooted version of that on when it is known to be stable and someone has a good tutorial on it.
thanks for all the work that goes into the development of this great OS.
one of the reasons i wanted to root is to increase cpu speed.
when i just installed setcpu it wont allow me to go over 1000mhz which i presume is to do with the stock rom.
any suggestions? does this mean i will HAVE to install a custom rom, if so is there a list or any roms that are definitely better than others? if so, i guess there will be different procedures to install depending on the rom,?.
Not necessarily a custom rom, but a custom kernel. Some roms include kernels, some dont. Any you can install kernel wthout rom if you want.
I used method 2 and downgraded to 3.0.1. This version is very unstable as I got a force close message every 5-10 seconds. I immediately rooted using iconia root. (Iconia root and the rom that I was going to flash were already on my sd card prior to going through the process) Kekinash has a rooted stock rom here in the development section if that's what you want. I downloaded it, but I have not flashed it yet because I am happy with Thor's current 13.2 rom. There is a link to Thor's website in the general section. I won't post it here because of xda rules. I can't speak for any other roms in this section because I only ran rooted stock before the 3.2 update.
Lightspeed Rom is pretty snappy
cheers guys, went with honeyvillain.
only probs: first it says to insert a sim card, as i have a a500 it doesnt use a sim card, this is probably why 2 force closes come up straight away for system updater possibly?
second, the market kept saying there was an error. i uninstalled the market and found the latest market apk and all is fine so far running 1400mhz.

Good kernels from the person who made the recovery possible....
First of all sorry for the noob question, because I'm really a newbie in this kind of mod.
Ok let's get to the problem. My Ideos X5 is running on Froyo,and wanna upgrade it to official GB stock roms.
After reading and searching in this web, I knew that some users found trouble after flashed it with the stock(can't go to pink screen, can't root, can't instal CWM, and the worst is it bricked their phone etc).
the reason why i'm gonna ugrade to official GB instead of straight to instal custom rom is some rom requirements need my phone to be upgraded into official GB. But then I've found many kinds of stock roms in the web such as B526, B138, B528, B16. since this situatian has turned my will to upgrade my phone, I just wanna know what is the most stable and safest official gingerbread rom for Ideos X5 out there, that won't brick my phone of course.thanks for the responds/advices

It is very difficult to brick your phone, I have to tell you, if it's possible.
I installed dozens of ROMs, some very good, some others plain bad, and my phone still works perfectly.
Today I am using Dzo's excellent ICS Aurora 2.11a which makes my friends envy my phone and has none of the GB bugs.
So, my advice is try some ROMS and find for your self which suits you best.
Thanks a lot lateris....
so what should i do first? instal the official rom first or straight to the custom rom (miui/cyanogenmod etc) cus some recent custom roms require my phone to be upgraded into official.
At the moment, you could try EZET's cyanogen custom rom if still on Froyo. It is cm7.2 based which is gingerbread 2.3.7 and it is very good. Runs fast and is very smooth. AFAIK everything works now, even tethering.
Otherwise you should upgrade to official gingerbread first if you want to get the ICS based roms that are here (like Aurora) or are in the works. I would use b526 as it is the last version to be able to root easily using superoneclick root and then install custom recovery and custom roms.
Most of the phone brickings with the official update happened because of custom partitions being installed and updating using the beta gingerbread release, you should be fine to update safely if your phone is still on official froyo.
that means a lot Mr. Paul....thanks 4 ur advice

I believe it is difficult to root B528. Of the two, I suggest you use B526

It's very easy to root B528. You need B528_root.rar from somewhere in forums. Try search general section.

Do you need Gingerbread specifically? The Aurora ICS ROM is already stable and there are no major bugs - sometimes the mobile internet connection does not work until the next restart, but this problem already existed on Gingerbread too. Device encryption does not work either.
The ICS ROM one of the fastest ROMs for this device, I see no reason to install an older version on purpose.
Once again the process:
1) Install a official huawei gingerbread ROM, this is done to update the kernel. You need this for the newer ROMs. This is done by putting a update file onto your sd-card (into the dload folder), instructions are provided by huawei.
The first step simply is done to update the kernel, this happens automatically. Be careful though, you want to use a specific file and not the newest version from huawei as this complicates things. If you do not know which file to use I am happy to provide you with a link.
2) Start the phone when the update is finished. Follow the setup, do not configure a wireless connection, google account or anything else. When you are at the homescreen, attach the device to your computer and remove the dload folder, the update is already done. This step is important.
3) Now you install a recovery program that manages your ROMs (make backups, delete ROM, install new ROM etc.). You use this here, instructions are included and should be easy to follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377390
4) Try to start the recovery mode and see if you can move up and down with the volume buttons (at the menu). Now you have the updated kernel and a working recovery program, that is all you need.
5) Download the zip-file of the ROM you want to use (I suggested ICS earlier) and copy it onto the sd-card. Within recovery mode you can now select the zip-file (do not extract it!) to install the new ROM. Before you do that, you select to wipe data, cache and under advanced the dalvik cache. This is important.
Now you have to wait quite a while when the phone starts for the first time with the new ROM. Just wait a few minutes and do not interrupt this. You will be greeted with the setup screen of your new ROM and can now configure wireless, google account etc.
XphX
XphX, and how about rooting? Don't you need to root your phone first? (I'm a leek)
You do not need to do that, the ICS Aurora comes pre-rooted and the other custom ROMs come prerooted too - just read their description.

i havn't tried it personally but i'm sure it'll work for our device since "GROUPER" is the other name for nexus 7
as for how to install it unlock bootloader, root, install cwm, download the rom from your link and put to sd card then flash from recovery
i am currently running the M2 from CM10. i like it a lot. give it a try.

work with encryption?
do you think it will allow encryption? I haven't had much luck yet with any rom except stock for root, twrc, and then encryption. my work email requires it or I'd skip it entirely...
thx

I haven't tried but it's possible. Not sure why encryption doesn't work on other roms, but the "regular" version of this one is basically stock with root, TWRP, busybox, etc. I've disabled securestorage and added r/w permissions for SD card too, but if that's a problem you can reverse those two changes by following the steps in OP2 in my dev thread. If you test it out please report back and let us know if it worked

resolving LTE display issue
Hi,
I believe I have replaced the Systemui.apk correctly with the correct permissions using Root Explorer but still see the 4G rather than the LTE in the bar.
Any ideas?
Thx.

ps thanks for the debloated ROM - working great for me with KT Kernel

What version of the rom are you flashing? Debloated v1.1 or 2.1? The files I linked were from the AOA1 base so not clear if they will work on BOC4.
1.1 and A0A1 base files

A01A Base and debloated V1.1.
I appreciate you taking the time to respond - not really a big deal - just more a point of trying to figure it out for myself at this point. I will likely flash to 5.01 debloated now anyway - I have KT kernel running with the 1.1. Does the 5.01 have it's own kernel? (sorry if this is a naive question).
Thanks again.

Happy to help . v2.1 (i.e. Lollipop) has the stock kernel. If you have already updated to BOC4 through Odin at least once before then the kernel will work for you when you flash v2.1. If not, you'll need to flash a compatible custom kernel (e.g. AEL, KT, etc) to avoid boot loops after installing v2.1. See OP in my dev thread for full instructions.
Not sure about the LTE icon. Maybe try copying the CSC folder from another working rom to v1.1 and try flashing that? If you're on kitkat and running xposed there is also a module you can download called LTE Switcher or something like that. I've used it before and it worked for me.

Notes:
Used a new debloat process and also fixed FC when using the front-facing camera.
If you get any FCs after initial setup (such as Google Maps or Samsung Link Platform), just make sure to update the problematic app from the Play Store or Samsung's Galaxy Apps store and then you should be good to go!

Hmm that's strange...I could understand an issue with the Debloated version since things were removed, but the Regular version is basically just a rooted and deodexed version of stock. You have a N910W8, and not using any other mods or kernels, correct? Not sure why it would work on stock BOC4 but not the Regular Rom since they are essentially the same...

Yes I had the same thought, so I went from the debloat to the regular. I also ensured that I wiped 3x in TWRP in all required sections (all except internal storage and SD Card), before doing the flash to debloat or regular. Also made sure I waited 5 minutes post boot and then reboot before going through the setup wizard.
In any case, not a deal breaker for some, but may be fore those that are looking to enable LTE on N910W8 (Wind purchased phones).
I am running a N910W8, with no other mods or kernels. I was running straight stock w/root, before flashing the ROM's. Ensured that I was running BOC4 before flash. Not sure why, unless the base ROM you're using in the Deodex and Debloat doesn't have that menu's within it's native firmware, but I was under the impression that the firmware for canadian models were all identical with their own carrier codes attached to the firmware. (CSC Code chage *#272*IMEI#).

Thanks for the info. Strange indeed! Yes the Canadian roms should all basically be the same as you mentioned. This one is based directly off the stock Bell BOC4 firmware from sammobile so not clear why it would on stock but not this version. I've read something about Wind phones being a little different from the other Canadian variants in some way (I forget the specifics now), but that was a while back and I'm not sure if it's actually true or even related to this lol. Either way I will take a look over the weekend and post if I find anything of interest.
