So I think I have returned everythingto Stock on my phone after using Odin. The symptoms on the phone seem to be that everything works fine when I first reset it ... and then after a re-boot I just get the Fin "Download Unsuccessful" from the app store over and over.

I suppose I can bring my newly purchased phone back to Verizon and swap it...

Is there any other people that have had this issue??

nitsuj17

download unsuccesful from the market is common...wiping data and reflashing jts rom should fix it...others have simpler ways of doing this im sure, but that works for me.

dont return a phone thats completely fixable

true that to many people return phones and that is going to one day kill us all from hacking them the way we want them...I couldnt imagine having to use a stock phone now haha

yup, unless you have a brain freeze and do something ridiculous these phones are very difficult to brick and most returns are fixable...drives me a little nutty

scoobysnack

Is there a simple step by step method for Re-flashing JT? I'm so confused with all the ODIN ADB steps etc....

nitsuj17

you dont need adb...put jts super clean 0.4 on your sdcard...boot into cwr from rom manager or batt pull and 3 button recovery....install zip from sdcard...select his rom, then wipe data and cache and reboot

your market should be fine

scoobysnack

E:Failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted

This is what it says....

Any suggestions?

nitsuj17

is that in blue (standard recovery)

if so you either dont have cwr or you deleted/moved the update.zip from clockwork on the root of your sdcard

scoobysnack

Yes this is what it says in recovery... how do I go about updating CWR or putting it back on?

Am I able to use ODIN?

scoobysnack

Got it figured out! Thanks man!

nitsuj17

What's the order.... wipe data and cache, THEN re-install JT? OR, re-install JT THEN wipe data and cache?

Tried it both ways, and still no market downloads...

Thanks for everything!

you can wipe data/cache after you flash but before reboot...then once it boots do a factory data reset.

skipster

Not working. I guess I will be figuring out the Odin thing today.

I have the same problem after I tried rooting my phone and it turns out that my phones is on the list of not being able to take ota or something like that so verizon is giving me new phone.

nitsuj17

on the list of not being able to take ota? i havent heard of anything like that...unless vzw checked your phone through their system and because of modding its incompatible with an ota...but thats to be expected

while i really dont know why factory data resets arent restored your markets (btw dont freeze any google apps that ll bork market d/ls as well)

i can guarantee that odin your system back to stock will fix the market....getting new phones from verizon is not the answer unless you had hardware issues with it...ie screen pixilation, failed radio

davidnmegan6907

That's the easy way though..its hard work to listen and try what is said who cares if its a perfectly good phone being sent back..that's how some see it..and I think the cell companys need to say to bad.

scoobysnack

Grrrrrr! The phone is back to the same ol same... it will not download any apps from the Market! So I have CWR all installed.. I have tried to reinstall the J rom's .. they seem to work just fine until after the Reboot. Then after I reboot it starts doing the same ol shit again.

Do you think it has to do anything with the root itself? Is there a way that I can unroot the phone and get it completley back to stock and start over?

I don't want to do ADB Shell if I can help it =(

I do have ODIN

nitsuj17

you can always odin the pit/system then kernel then cwr to totally clear up and be fine

but really wipe data/cache in blue recovery wipe data cache in cwr factory data reset when the phone boots

theres really no reason that shouldnt work as long as you dont keep freezing google apps with titanium or deleting them.

really just wiping and reflashing a rom fixes it for me when i get off the reservation

scoobysnack

You are always so helpful! I cant tell you how much I appreciate it!

Would you mind doing me a big favor... I know it's a pain in the ass. Would you be willing to do a step by step for this suggestion:

you can always odin the pit/system then kernel then cwr to totally clear up and be fine

I just want to make certain that I do everything correctly with Odin as far as adding the correct files ... etc...

Thank you!!!

nitsuj17

theres already an xda thread that does it

Odin Restore files to get you to stock - xda-developers

scoobysnack

Ok I get how to install each one at a time.. what does the Pit file do? Do I need to use it in conjunction with each one of the file flashes in order for them to work properly?

That is what I'm confused with a little LOL

nitsuj17

nope, just pit/system thats it. remember PDA only, no phone

scoobysnack

So do I select the Pit Tab load the pit file and then select the PDA tab and load the according file?

In otherwords do I need to do the Pit file with each PDA selected file that I want to load?

nitsuj17

no just load pit and system and flash together...then kernel by itself, then recovery by itself

skipster

I have an interesting resolution to my download woes. I accidentally restored to a clockwork backup taken before I touched my phone. Then I re-installed JT's clean 0.4. Voila! Everything works.... I guess the moral of my story is that sometimes things just DO work out!

nitsuj17

yup, sometimes fixes come from doing random things. been there

scoobysnack

Cool well now I the phone reboots in a Force Close Loop. The Odin Install does nothing to prevent this.

I know there is a thread around here talking about it.. but I can't seem to find it??

nitsuj17

How to Escape the Force Close Loop of Hell - Android Forums

personally when i had it, flashing another rom and kernel and running Fix_permissions in cwr worked.

but thats the thread

scoobysnack

K followed all the steps seems to be fine...soooo I should download and install J super clean... what Kernel do you reccomend so that I get it right from the get go this time??


Thanks again for all your help!

[KERNEL] StupidFast v1.0.36 (Stable) - xda-developers

nitsuj17

id go with jts super clean and either the stock kernel (just to get things straightened away) or one of jts more recent ones

scoobysnack

I'm just downloading the Roms and Kernels via Rom Manager. Is this the best way to do it? Or should I be installing / downloading a different method

nitsuj17

its fine...if you have to locate them in cwr they are in sdcard/clockworkmod/download

scoobysnack

Well you know what's interesting is that everything seems to work great with the J Clean Rom... as soon as I install the Kernel (11/11 Stable) that is what ****s everything up.

So I guess no more Kernel for me?

Thanks again for all the help man!

Scoob

nitsuj17

odd that the kernel isnt taking to your phone that well...either way happy that you are all good to go
