nice!! it says sc2.8 thank you guys so much for the help!!! Do i need to keep the superclean 2.6 and 2.8 zip in my sd card?? Also should i still go ahead and run the cwm.app and install?

what do you mean cwm.app and install?what are you trying to install?


you can delete 2.6 but i always keep that stuff incase i need it

 

[ehernandez]

Do both, replace the update.zip file, and run cwm.app again.

Should i still do what braydon suggested and run cwm.app again?

If you were able to install SC2.8 you dont need to run cwm.app again.

Has anyone tried superclean 2.9?? Don't want update unless stable. Let me know if anyone has updated.

 

[MikeMikeMike]

Tried searching a few forums but didn't get a definitive answer.

Is there any way to flash a new modem with a mac? I tried doing a few searches and everything came up with PC instructions.

Currently my baseband is

S:i500.04 V.EA28

Furthermore, is flashing a new modem required or recommended? Running SC 2.8 with EB01 kernel.

Any info would be appreciated.

 

[DroidXcon]

Yes there is a way with something called heimdall but if your modem is working now on 2.8 then you are fine

I went ahead and updated. It runs smooth. Text messages have better interface, gps works well and no problems with internet! So far so good. Question: how do I get the battery to change into a circle instead of a battery shape. Have noticed a lot of people have that done. Anyways, good luck on your midterm!

No matter what I try...I can not get my Mac to recognize my phone. Everytime I try the one-click I get, Error device not found. But when I plug the phone in it comes up and says new network interface found Samsung_Android, and I click cancel. Am I doing something wrong? The phone is in USB debugging...I didn't mount the SD card. I just don't know what the problem is. Thanks!

Mac won't recognize mount.

MAC OSX 10.5.6. When attempting to mount the phone to the computer to comes up with an error stating that the disk inserted was not readable by this computer and gives me options of Initialize... Ignore, or eject. At first before I get this message, I get a little disc with Verizon_mobile when I click on it it has some files but the computer either can't open or it is a text formate that looks like symbols. Help!!!
The phone is in debugging and have mass storage. I have tried other root methods and nothing works. SOOOOO FRUSTRATED!!

Don't connect to mass storage when you plug in the phone. Just enable USB debugging and plus it in, then leave it alone and run the 1-click-root.

im having troubles flashing the superclean. i have successfully gotten though all the steps up until its time to put froyo on to the sd card and flash it. i downloaded froyo from the link you posted... it downloaded as a folder with a ton of stuff in it... copied it to sd, then when i get into recovery i cannot find a zip file to apply to the phone???

also somewhere throughout the process all my vibrate functions stopped working. is there a fix for this?

Try placing the zip files on the root of your hard drive. Double click the zip, this will extract the files and put them in a folder in the same location as the zip. Then run the app inside of the folder. If that doesn't work, then post what happens and we'll try to figure it out.

When you install froyo, the vibration will come back.

When you downloaded froyo, it should have been in a zip file. You do not want to extract the zip at all during this process. When you push the file to the sdcard, choose the version of froyo you downloaded. Once that has been done, you will be able to find the zip on you sdcard and in recovery.
