HOW TO: Live Wallpaper without Rooting

[ItsxBillyx]

CL14 link is dead,
tried substituting a similiar
one and am getting the same
error when trying to apply my
zip file in recovery mode.

If anybody could upload
something that will work, it'd be a great help.

If you guys are flashing the stock update with 3.0.8 recovery aren't you rooting?

That's all I did to gain root access...

It also sounds like some of the files in the OP are either cross linked or linked wrong. Newbies need to exercise caution now.

I'm pretty sure this is actually rooting the phone,
but whether I am wrong or not, it was simpler
to follow than what was provided at SDX.

However, with the links not working, I think
I'm going to just be happy with the 2.1 update
until I get the Evo or until OP replaces dead links.

the Recovery File on the Link is nothing but the Stock sprint file. Can some one please post the correct Recovery file that needs to be replaced in the SWUpgrade\Models\Binary portion of this? I've followed this procedure to a T and i get the same ..

-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update Package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted."

...over and over again

Here is a link to the correct stock sprint file with recovery. You may have to register on SDX to get it.

Login

Also, make sure you're either using the old version of the Sprint updater or have hacked or patched or whatever it is to the new version to allow a custom rom flash. The current tool from Sprints website won't flash anything but th stock 2.1.

There are links around for it. It should also be available on SDX's website.

after i do this will al my data be erased or will it still be on my phone???

 

[ijeggert]

Your data will still be there, it won't be erased. I did this months ago, but find myself rarely using it, it's a quick way to kill a battery, but eh, I can say I have live wallpapers!

You're data will be safe, unless your Micro SDHC card decides to up and die like mine did the other day... can't format it, can't recover nothing on it. Thankfully everything on it is on my computer, but it just kinda sucked that the 16GB card died without warning... but thank you San Disk for your 5 year warranty on those cards.

Update the links please. Found alternate, but after all the trouble, all I did is ending up reverting back to the old 1.5 firmware. LOVELY! So now I have to once again update to the 2.1, and then configure my email, sync, and re-download my apps. All for live wallpaper that Samsung should have included with the update in the first place. Not worth the trouble. Like the 2.1 update, but just not having to apply it twice. PITA. Don't do it.

Update - Some progress, just in not the right direction. File supposed to delete or rename "SPH-M900_MR2_DE03_REL_1.tar" was actually "SPH-M900_CL14_MR". Once made correct change, then flashed to updated 2.1 software, but wallpaper zip update did not take. Stating not verified or signed, meaning that the origional links do not point to the intended files when post origionally started. Just re-flashed phone to same #$%%#$ software as before - 2.1 - stock Samsung update that does not allow hacks such as this one. Either find new forum with updated links or do not try this until links are verified. WASTE OF TIME. Noob or not, if I cannot rely on forum links or "experts" to update, what is the point?

I'm copying this from another post because I don't want it to get buried. This is for everyone out there having trouble getting Live Wallpapers to work on their Moment.

I give FULL credit to the other posters.

------------------------------------------------------------

*6/30 EDIT! - The new links are now working properly! Go crazy!

-This post is assuming you already have the 2.1 update-

Files Used:

CCLeaner
OLD CL14 SAMSUNG INSTALLER
I hope this helps.

I'm so hosed. I thought I had the "OLD CL14 INSTALLER", so I went ahead, since the link provided gives a 404. Can you provide a link to the proper "OLD CL14 INSTALLER"? Currently my phone is back to factory defaults! I thought this process was supposed to preserve my config. :-( I now just read the previous post - I wish I would have read it before going through this - looks like I'm in the same (sad) boat as 0cocheese0.

The link does not work please fix asap i want live wallpapers asap

 

[ctsellersjr]

when i try to download the old OLD CL14 SAMSUNG INSTALLER it says web address no longer active where can i get this from

 

[demari54]

Where do I get the OLD CL14 SAMSUNG INSTALLER? That's the only thing I can't download. And when its done will my phone be 1.5 or 2.1?

I use this tutorial to root my wife's Moment and it added live wallpaper automatically. In fact it runs faster now and it also allow to make your cell a HotSpot. But beware, this will flash your phone so back up anything you want to save that is not on your SD Card. I think the SamsungMoment_Update file they use is the old one. Wouldn't hurt to try
