Root Need help with flashing ROM Axura 2.2.9 (stuck on the final step)

anthonytelix · Mar 1, 2011

Hey guys i was reading all post and you guys seem knowledgeable/friendly. I rooted my Samsung Vibrant, OCLF, and Set CPU. My quaurant score is 1600+ (fast but not where I would like it) I've tried flasing Axura 2.2.9 but I'm stuck with flashing the zip file. I'm using ROM manger to flash the ROM. Everytime I flash clockworkmod recovery, i get "failed verify signature", aborting task, blah, blah! I''m not sure how to correct this problem. Your help is greatly appropriated! Thanks guys!

A few things could be happening here. Number one. Have you disabled OCLF? If not. Do so. And then delete it and never ever ever use it again. Ever. Trust me. Next, are you sure you have a complete download of Axura? Maybe delete the .zip file you have and download the latest version in its place, and make sure the final file size matches what it says from the source you download from. Also are you 100% sure you are rooted? Double check, and maybe even flash your update.zip file one more time to make sure. Lastly, try deleting ROM manager and re-downloading it. Make sure when you click to flash CWM recover that you select the proper device as well. Doing this wrong, even once, can be a very bad thing. Let me know how this works out for you. Good luck.

Stiglogic thanks for the input my friend. I rooted my phone with the superoneclick software. So the phone is rooted (i have super user permissions) I'm getting the Axura 2.2.9 from Masters site himself (DevAndroid) So I'm confident that the zip is correct. As for OCLF, i actually like this app. It hasn't given me any trouble thus far. Now that you've mentioned it, i'm wondering if this is the reason why i keeping getting the "failed verify signature". I have the lag fix turned on. Could this be the reason why it will not flash?!?!

anthonytelix · Mar 2, 2011

Another question... do I have to check debugging to flash the ROM? I know that is
probably a dumb question...but I'm trying everything here. I want to learn how to flash ROM(s)

Failed signature verification probably has to do with the froyo 2.2 addition. Look at this post and see if it helps.

Otherwise, you can always odin back to stock.

Great info dattack! Thanks for the link! I'm at work now but will definitely try this once I arrive home. One more question...i have OCLF lag fix turned on. Will i need to turn off and uninstall lag fix/ext2 in order to flash Axura 2.2.9? Which brings me to another question. What is "THE BEST/FASTEST ROM" available for the vibrant? I've read that Eclair ROM is the best/fastest...I've heard that Axura 2.2.9 is the best. Which is it??

STiGLOGiC · Mar 3, 2011

I have found that the latest 2.2.1 ROMs are much faster than pretty much any of the 2.2 ROMs out. I am a big fan of EDT ROMs. Their 2.3 ROM is pretty fast too, but no voodoo yet, and it still has a few bugs. Nothing major, but still. I would recommend the latest version of Flagship. Also, if you have not tried Eugene's Deadhorse kernel, I suggest doing that as well. Disable any and all lagfix's before you do any of this. Also, do yourself a favor and go in to your application management and delete quadrant standard. If you really want good tests of your speed and functionality, try Antutu, and linpack. Those will give you accurate readings on what is going on with your device. Quadrant standard will not. I know you really like OCLF but the EXT2 binds will eventually degrade. It is a problem with binding over RFS. On top of that, it gives false speed readings when you run benchmark tests. You scores may be higher on EXT2, but you will be faster on JFS or EXT4.

I wanted to thank you both for all your help. I was finally able to flash the ROM. Dattack that post helped ALOT! Thank you once again. I'm already looking for a different ROM to flash. I'm addicted! LOL

Just curious, why didn't you load the latest Axura ROM? Version 2.3.1.2

anthonytelix · Mar 5, 2011

Hey Mark i am running 2.3.1.2... my qustion is can i running the themes at the same time or do i need to remove the 2.3.1.2, then add the zip.theme? I'm new to the flashing!

Just flash the theme on top of the ROM. Yes, you run both at the same time. You flash it just like you would a ROM. Just make sure the theme is compatible with the ROM you're running or you could get into a boot loop.

STiGLOGiC · Mar 6, 2011

Also, being new to flashing, I would suggest keeping a ROM you know is stable in your internal SD in case you get a bad flash you can just boot in to recovery and flash a known, stable ROM.

anthonytelix · Mar 9, 2011

Okay gentleman I’m running Axura 2.3.1.2 and it isn’t as fast as I thought it was be. Question is there a newer version of Axura to flash out, if not, is there a ROM you would recommend that is stable/fast for the vibrant? I was doing some research on Nero… any input?

dattack · Mar 9, 2011

FOr 2.2 roms:
axura
trigger 2.7
bionix v1.3.1?

For 2.2.1 roms
EDTs such as darkys, simply galaxy honey, loki?

For 2.3 roms
CM7
EDTs gingergbread ROM

Might want to stay away from the 2.3 roms for now until you are comfortable with flashing and such. The 2.3 roms are experimental right now. i don't want you to brick your phone. lol
I think the 2.2.1 are incredibly smooth and stable enough where it is my daily driver.

STiGLOGiC · Mar 10, 2011

i daily doive the EDT 2.3.2. Everything works great!(except GPS of course) but I actually have been paying attention over the years, and know how to get to places I have been before where I live, so GPS is a non-issue for now. I'm on CM7 now, and pretty much same deal there.

anthonytelix · Mar 10, 2011

Thanks for the input jets...I just flashed bionix v1 and MY GOODNESS :eek:

this ROM is "FAST". The entering/exiting of app are very quick...scrolls are smooth. Will try both trigger 2.7 & CM7 this weekend.

anthonytelix · Mar 10, 2011

Stiglogic is the CM7 ROMs intended for the Galaxy S/Vibrant? I've read that the ROM is a CyanogenMOD 6.1 mode... ??

Yeah it's specific for the vibrant.

anthonytelix · Mar 14, 2011

Okay another question guys...I could not find the site to download the Trigger Rom. Would one of you know that link? As for the CM7 9 (CyanogenMOD 7) I found the site but was told that it did not have a download for the samsung vibrant. Any help to find this site would be appreciated.
