[Q] FroYo NEED HELP PLEASE!

<!-- I have searched the forums and was unable to find anything -->
He guys,
I need some help on this one. I'm still not getting the FroYo update (or the pre-update(2.1-update1).
stock/un-rooted
2.1
non-branded/SIM lock free
I did tried to manually update true the recovery mode, but I'm getting "E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted." messages on every update.zip file(obtained true http://zubu.ca/legend/fota_check.php).
The phone is USB-bricked after a failed custom rom flash.
stock rom, no usb data, no sd card(managed to fix that).
I live in the Netherlands and did see that a lot of other Dutch people got there first and second update(via comments on Androidworld.nl).
Any suggestions are welcome. I'm out of idea's

At this point I'd unbrick and root it... both howtos are in development...
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App

To unbrick, it needs to be rooted. to root it needs to have a working usb. So I'm punched in to a tight corner T_T

You are kinda off-topic here
But as far as i know, there is no Arabic/Persian ROM version(yet)

nobody els with an idea???

How about when you try update RUU ROM on a goldcard? Did you try that? Just suggesting...

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you xd
Edit:
DAMNED, got to 2.1-update1 no problem. update 2.2 done and now it keeps rebooting.
Edit2:
Another RUU broke the loop. all is fine now

OK after a reboot it still ends up in a endless boot loop(white screen, htc logo).
Am unable to go into the recovery mode.

Did you do a full wipe? It is usually needed when fiddling around like this...
you most certainly can get to recovery, vol down + power and then recovery? No?
Clear what you can and you'll see...

Fast-bootloader and bootloader are accessible but recovery is not. I get the same boot loop. However If i try to run a RUU it get the phone up to the black screen with htc logo. then RUU comes with a "cant find device" error and quits. the phone then boots normal on its own. USB is still broken btw.

It looks like you got the error at the worst momnent you could while flashing the first RUU... I still think it is possible to flash boot onlyby the legeimg.zip file at the very beginning (you'll notice the green text flashing in few lines) but that is a bit over my head... Maybe someone will know?
If that fails, I'd take my legend for warranty repair and lie through my teeth to have done nothing to the phone

I did try the legeimg.zip thing. but that didn't work. and i wont be having any warranty because i got this phone via a colleague of my dad. just the phone and charger.

PS: B162 is locked by huawei, z4 does not work
gingerbreak could root it only when a SD card in it
custom app also locked(could be deleted with special way)
deleted custom app:
make sure your SD card without dload folder
power on U8800 with pressing volume_up and volume_down
wait till U see the pink screen, conect U8800 with computer via USB
find a USB storage in ur computer
just find the app folder, do whatever u want
btw u could see the recovery.img, that's an easy way to reflash U8800 recovery

Hey.
If anyone has (U8800V100R001C00B138SP04) ROM, I'd like to get a stock rom just in case something happens. I can't download it from Modaco's wiki.
Or can I backup the rom I have installed right now?

If you replace the original recovery with Perfect Recovery 4.0.0.5 from bootloader (Vol+,Vol- and Power - pink screen), you can do a backup of your current Rom.

You don't flash it like the way you flash a custom rom. You have to put the 'dload' folder into the root of your SD Card, then boot into bootloader, then it'll automatically flash back to the stock rom.

Your english is good enough not bad actually.
Hmm, have you tried taking out your sim and looking whether the pins that contact your sim are bent?
Good luck man!

Yes, I've tried too....Now I'm going to try with ODIN....

I would do a full wipe, format the /system partition, and install the ICS package. You are upgrading from MIUI to stock ICS, full wipe is must. Of course, back up the apps you don't want to lose data with Titanium Backup or My Backup.
Here's the link to various stock ROMs and upgrade. More guides in the stickies of this forum.

Ive had issues like that with a previous phone. Sometimes it would say emergency only or no sim. Then sometimes it just wouldnt get any bars. In the end, the problem was just that the sim card went bad. Maybe you can try a friends sim in your phone and see if it behaves? Good luck and Happy Holidays!

i don't mean to be a jerk but check here to make sure youre doing a full wipe properly
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408308
also, check that you didnt download a cdma rom (although im pretty sure youd have much bigger problems if you flashed it)
check the md5 sums of the files you're flashing
did you wipe /efs?
if you wiped /efs you're kind of screwed. the only way to restore a lost /efs partition (directory) is to send your device in for service if I'm not mistaken.

I do the wipes good...but...what is a rom cdma??? I've got now a stock ROM..

What happen if I format de system folder....?? I don't know what more try..
Can anybody say me what I delete If I format:
/data?
/system?
/cache?
Can be my error fixed formating one of those?

up again!!!

OK!
I do not know if it will solve the problem, but you can try this :
- download Stock Rom v2.3.3 for your device and put it to sdcard.
-reboot phone into CWM - wipe all ( dalvik, data .....), and format/system, format/data, format/cache, format/boot and instal Stock rom v2.3.3
Now chek system update and install OTA update ( wifi - connection) , normally the last update ( OTA update 2.3......) should solve your problems ! Good luck !

When I go to System update it say me that my phone is updated..

Hello,
You should have read all the threads here that tell you not to flash SGS roms on the korean version. To fix your problem I think that all you need to do is reflash using a fw for your phone.

i9100P TIM ita ICS - The rooting is done!!! English and Italian guide

Hey guys, my eng is not so good so I hope you can understand what I will say. I've found the way to root the Italian Version of ICS brand TIM with NFC, the GT-i9100P.
Despite the guides for the nobrand version, that method is not suitable for the 9100P TIM.
If you want the guide you only have to wait for Monday morning: I will first publish it on my blog, then if you like I will try to translate here.
I hope this can help some of you because it has been a problem for me not to have the root privileges on the stock TIM ICS.
CYA.
===== EDIT =====
The complete guide is HERE, in italian.
If you're looking for the English version please click HERE
Please consider a small donation if you like my workaround by clicking here, thankyou.
CYA

Why wait until Monday? Flash an ICS kernel which has CWM recovery, install su + superuser/supersu, flash back original kernel (which you can find on samfirmware), ????, profit.
I guess I'm missing something.

And that will bring back NFC options in settings?

Yes, the NFC settings will be back because of the native firmware version and it's fully functional.
You miss that the NFC version is different from the one without the nfc chip: with the italian tim branded version that method is not compatible.
I've tried many times with kernels and booting in cwm to flash the SU installer but when I came back to home in ics the file was missing.
Be sure, this is the only method to flash the italian version with brand TIM; it's a bad rom to inject root because of the space.
I say to wait because the guide is timed to be published on monday morning on my blog.
If you have any idea it's wellcome, but I think you cannot make it for sure if you have not the S2 in the conditions we have in Italy with TIM carrier.

I don't have an I9100P with brand TIM to prove you wrong, but it just sounds like nonsense that existing methods do not work. Be that using the method mentioned above, or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
I haven't heard of anyone having trouble rooting that model whilst retaining NFC functionality.

I does not do anything because the ROM is fully charged with TIM and there is no space to inject the files we need for superuser. We have no KB free to store them.

Sent from my GT-I9100P using xda premium

Ok, with stock rom, not rooted I mean, open Titanium and see how much free space you have on system: if you have no space you cannot flash any SU or BUSYBOX.
Mobile Odin helps me moving automatically GMaps to free space.
This is the method:
- flash stock nobrand ics
- root with cwm
- launch mobile odin and flash the branded version of ics
- it will ask to delete gmaps: say yes.
- make sure you have checked the inject superuser
- flash firmware
This is the method I found to root a rom full like an egg. I think Orange put on you roms less software than tim in Italy: we have about 10 TIM programs for about 20-30 MB occupied by them. With no root permissions we cannot unistall it to make room for SU binaries.
U still think I'm wrong?

If you search in forums you will find the in Italy we have many problems with that ICS release, not with the unbranded one instead.

Ah, thanx for add LOLSPAM to tags: is it auto-tagging? :|

If what you describe is indeed the case, your solution sounds long winded and unnecessary. You should just be able to flash a CF-root kernel, boot to CWM recovery, use adb or flash a simple script to remove some junk and carry on as normal.
However, if I was in your position I would just stick to an unbranded ROM if the provider is filling it full of junk.

My english is really bad so... In Italy we have not the i9100p unbranded... I've not used any script to clear the junks because I've not found any that was suitable for my use. I also have not the capacity to modify it for my personal needs. My solution is a workaround, I admit, but it works fine and the payment for Mobile Odin Pro from Chainfire has not been a problem.
Ok, it seems not all solutions are welcome here if they seem strange solutions.
Btw, it worked for me and till I wanted the stock rom.

This could be very interesting for Italian users who want to de-brand their Gt-I9100P branded by TIM carrier (like mine).
Which firmware are you using? Do you think it is an international, multi-language version? We could use this firmware as a base for rooting and de-branding, instead of LP7 version that seems not to work in NFC devices.

Sorry for the delay but I've been very busy.
The italian rom is multilingual too as usual but my guide is not for debrand: the TIM version will remain after the root.
The problem with the TIM operator brand is that system folder is fully charged and there's no space to place the superuser apk. In this case you can succesfully use my guide, else you don't need it.
The firmware is:
BaseBand: i9100pXXLPB
Kernel: i9100pXXLPF
Build: IML74K.XXLPF
Tomorrow the guide will be posted in english, sorry for this delay too.
