Then can you please list out the exact method that you are trying which is failing? From opening Connectbot/BTE, every command that you type in and the exact error message that you receive?

This will help up to help you. The more specific that you can be, the better.

Need some help. I rooted my phone earlier today with joeykrim kernel and everything went great. Even did a backup. but when i was trying to remove the crap i couldnt get su to work in connectbot. So i saw someone in hear say that u needed to update. so i tried the update and something went wrong. i cant get into recovery with vol- talk end pressed just shows sdx screen. and when i tried to just reflash it using the utility it get to like 53% on utility but only alittle ways on the actual phone and just hoses up. Any suggestions of where to go with this?? Im thinking of trying to do it on another comp incase the drivers are messed up

Welp, looks like i bricked my phone.

I was able to successfully load Z's 14.3 Kernel. I went in a removed some of the sprint default apps. When I tried to remount it said the device was busy so I just typed in reboot in the terminal. Now i just keep getting the same error:

'The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.'

I can't do anything, it just keeps crashing over and over. I've even done a hard reset but once I start setting it back up, it starts crashing with the same error again once my conctacts start to sync.

Anyone have any ideas? I knew I shouldn't have bothered.

if you're getting to the OS and getting applications errors you haven't bricked your phone. You'll need to reflash your phone using the Sprint Utility... Flash back to CL14 and start over... If you can put your phone into the download mode, you'll be fine...

Hi guys ( and gals ) I just got the Moment as I could not get the hang of the Hero keyboard. Anyway I have a question for you but before I ask I just wanted to thank all of you first. As I was reading this thread, it amazes me how very helpful and patient you are with us noobs. Now I say noob even though I was always flashing my Mogul with the various roms that were out there for it. I really did love that phone but it was time to move on. So I am a complete noob to this phone. I am a Linux girl by heart so that should help, well maybe (lol) So a huge thank you to all of you that have spent time on helping others and making it possible to make our phones the best they can be. I hate all that crap bloatware. So now on to my question. My phone obviously came with the Cl14 update already on it from Sprint. I ran across this other how to ( http://forum.sdx-developers.com/arch...with-cj05-sbl/) which talks about using odin and basically having to downgrade first and then put the cl14 unofficial rom on it and then flashing to zefies or joeys kernel. I'm leaning towards joeys I think. So am I understanding this all correctly that if I use your tutorial I do not have to do the odin thing etc etc. Just follow the steps here? And after I do this I can flash up to one of the 2.1 roms?

Thank you again for everything!

Deb

Oh one more quick question even though I did a quick search I may have missed it, has anyone come up with anything like a notification led program? It sure would be nice to have the phone blink when I have gotten an email or text or have missed a call. Thanks

What you need to do is look at Caulkin's 2.1 ROM...
This way you won't have to do anything but use his methods to root/flash your device... his ROM includes the LED notification you are looking for too...

The flash is quite simple too... well I say that because I've done it once or 50 times.

Re: [HOW TO] Gain Permanent Root on CL14 Out-The-Box and Backup/Restore Customization
 
Thanks so much. I found the thread on Caulkin's and it seems almost too easy.
You mean this is all I need to do? That's it? WOW

ROM Flashing (Step 1)

For Recovery 2.+ Console
Copy update*.zip to the root of your sdcard
Power off phone
Press & hold Vol down, talk(green) & end(red) buttons until boot logo displays
Select Apply zip from SD and select update*.zip
Reboot when done or flash the restore tar


Restore Flashing (Step 2)

For Recovery 2.+ Console
Copy data_backup*.tar to the root of your sdcard
Power off phone
Press & hold Vol down, talk(green) & end(red) buttons until boot logo displays
Select Data options, then Restore and select data_backup*.tar
Reboot when done


I think I still want to read everything again though (lol) you'd think I would be braver about this seeing as I would flash my Titan/Mogul all the time. Could be because I got the mogul on ebay for like $50.............This one obviously I paid a bit more and my DH would kill me if I bricked it. (grin)

Can someone help me please? I am trying to install Calkulins 2.1 DE03 Rom http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=117534 and I have installed the DE03 Tar but cannot get the Sprint 2.1 DE03 Update.zip to install at all. The instructions point to this thread which I dont get? Help? PLEASE? :toothy7:

Oh yeah I have a Samsung Moment with the Sprint Official 2.1 Rom originally. I did the steps above (installed DE03) but when i try to run the Sprint updtate.zip it says e:signature verification failed....

I have used the swu upgrade before and it worked fine in the past. Now it will not open the bin file? As many custom roms and cool kernels that Ive added to it, this just puts a wrench in my clock. Is this a common problem? because it just started when I had to redownload the ODIN or swu upgrade file???
