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??

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 :eek:

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 :eek:

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

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

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

This is what it says....

Any suggestions?

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.

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 :cool:

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

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.:mad:

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

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

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!!!
