SBL Bootloader / Rooting.

[Ramdad], Thanks for the post.

I've got the SBL exe, which I assume will flash the bootloader in the correct way. Now my question is, if I want to update my firmware, is it safe (bootloader wise) to flash the JV1 & root kernel and then the JVK kernel?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
Thanks, just flash JVK that you have and you will be fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
[Ramad],

Not trying to confuse people, cm7 and MIUI require 2.2 bootloaders even though the firmware is 2.3.3.

So if you are from Samsung rom like xxjvk or jv1 and going to cm7 or MIUI, you will encounter screen tearing as well. Downgrade to a 2.2 with bootloaders will eliminate the tearing.

Hope you can include this info as well.

P/S: As always, thanks for sharing this with the users here. :)

thanks for the information... I thought to flash with bootloaders... now I'm considering again...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] needhelp11:
Hey Ramad,

I have a little question : a few firmwares on Samfirmware have these files in PDA : sbl.bin, boot.bin and param.lfs. I have heard that these files can brick our phone.

Can i delete them without changing anything in the PDA and flash through Odin ?

Thanks for helping me.

Sorry for my bad english.

Hi all,

I just tried ALL 2.3 gingerbread roms including cm7, redux, oxygen, amethyst etc. but none of them seems to have auto focus in camcorder :mad:

Why not?

Is this so hard to fix?

Greetings,
[Desire General] nickislauw:
someone ??
[Desire General] markjnj:
I'd like to know if this could be done also. I'm using a mt4g and usually focus the camera first then switch to camcorder. Would be easier if the camcorder autofocused like stock though.
[Desire General] De_A:
Yes, I was looking for the same thing! Of the camcorder " touch to focus " option that was earlier available was also very nice.

Is it not possible for gingerbread?

Hello,

I have a litte Problem with the position of the Dockbar in Go Launcher EX.

I installed LCD Density Changer from the Market. So I take the dpi from 240 to 180. After I restart the SGS, the dpi was change. But the Go Launcher EX (newest Version / Update from 28 March) doesent looks great.

Its not much, but the 5 shortcuts from the dockbar arent in the bottom centre.

If I startet the normal Go Launcher, this Problem doesn't exist. I used some Theme, a Reset of Go Launcher EX and so on, but i doesnt change everthing. Have any one the same problem oder a solution for these case?

Sry. But i cant post embedded images, because i havent enough posts. I created this account for a few days, because i lost my pw and my old email doesnt exist anymore
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
Go Launcher already has density thing build in

you don't need to install desntiy app after using Go Launcher
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sschultewolter:
Where do you find this option? I didn't found it yet.

I can change the piece of icons from 4 x 4 to 5 x 5, but I didn't change density

Hi All (esp richardtrip, koxudaxi, alterbridge, humberos and other kernel developers)

Does it make sense to have the kernel sources in a git repository so that the work done by all the developers can easily be shared. I ask this because right now I am at a loss as to which kernel is considered stable and which are experimental.

tovarish
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
Ive tried them all, and they are all stable.
[Galaxy Tab General] richardtrip:
The kernel was always on my github as stated in my first post :-)
[Galaxy Tab General] tovarish:
Thats great, could I request the other kernel developers to use richardtrip's github for their kernel versions. I think the community can greatly benefit from that.

but my Q still stands: is it possible to unlock the locked ones?

btw the noob in my Q was referring to me NOT to you :)

Thanks for your answer mate
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navlem:
I couldn't find any information about the phone being locked in the site you linked me to.

But anyway, i'm not from UK so i'm not sure. But most of the world are getting it already unlocked. Google UK Nexus S site says its unlocked though.

But i'm sure there is a way to unlock a locked Nexus S as it's meant to be unlocked anyway :)

But I can't really help you with that because I do not have the experience of unlocking a Nexus S yet.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androf:
Thanks for taking the time to reply

the price for the SIM-Free one and the Carrier-Locked one is the same but I was just asking, maybe because it's a challenge or because you might get your phone via a contract and you need to unlock it

Regards
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navlem:
No problem. I hope someone comes by and help you clarify things up. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maltloaf:
mine came from a carrier upgrade in the UK and isn't locked.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androf:
Thanks for that! Now I got it..

That's why the price is the same

those devices are just "branded" not "carrier-locked"

Thank you very much :)

OK I've found out whats causing the prob, I was using a new SIM while I'm travelling. As soon as I switch back to my old SIM the Market shows everything. Quite unexpected for my SIM card to effect the way the Market is working? I was not even using 3G, I was on wifi.

DroidLight
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] palmboy5:
Not perfect, it has a lag time for turning the LED on or off whereas DroidLight, for example, is instantaneous. The lag time isn't even consistent and the screen doesn't indicate the change at the same time. Happily replaced that app with DroidLight thanks to this thread. :)

On a side note, DroidLight doesn't let you leave the LED on and do other things... the light turns off once you leave the app screen.

i know the tegra 2 limitations (fail) about h264 hd high profile, it is the same with video flash hd 720p -1080p uploaded for example in youtube when they are high profile ( and other major straming sites over the internet)?

Or youtube converts video hd in a different way tegra 2 is able to play (i am assuming you watch video flash hd trough the browser, not trough youtube application)?

[EVO 4G General] Clay333:
I called Sprint yesterday and asked about the new upgrade policy and told the guy I got my Evo in August. I asked if I would still be eligible to upgrade to the 3d in august after the policy change. To my surprise he said yes. I knew that I wasn't supposed to after the policy changes so I asked him to make a note on my account that he said I would get the upgrade this year and the policy change will not affect me until my next upgrade is due. He did it ( at least he said he did). So since I have this noted on my account do you think Sprint will go against his word and say that I can't get my upgrade. I think they are going to just have to eat it and give me the phone at new contract price. I hope I am right. I would like to hear everyones opinion ( especially sprint employees) . If they do not honor this could I just cancel my contract and pay my $120 etf and sign a new contract to get it at the discounted price? Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Just call again and see if they can locate that note. Make sure they gibe you the interaction number. If the note is present then they have to honor it
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Speaking from experience, I HIGHLY doubt he actually created the note. 99% of the time they will just tell you that to get you off the phone. For future things like this, ALWAYS get it in writing. Tell them to email it to you, and DONT hang up until you get the email. I bet you 20 bucks, that if you call back, and rep wont be able to find this note.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
Besides it doesn't make one bit of difference what that guy writes in his notes. Just because he typed it in doesn't mean it HAS to happen. I actually think this post is kind of stupid but I guess there will be a lot of these. You sound like a teenager. You are either eligible or you aren't. They aren't going to change it the day before the phone comes out just to screw you over.
[EVO 4G General] l8agin:
A good way to do that is via the live chat. After the session ends, you get a transcript of your typed conversation, which includes the time, date, and everything both you typed. I have a copy of my last chat with them I'm saving, just in case. But I also agree with zone23, I don't know if they'll actually do whatever they said they would, they might tell you to go pound sand.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
Actually the phrase is salt go pound salt you know because it would burn your pecker... i'm just saying thats the phrase.. you probably know that.

Ya I doubt any of those chats are going to be binding in any way. I mean the one you have saved for example who's to say you didn't alter it?

Glad everyone is excited about this phone I know I am.
[EVO 4G General] Buff McBigstuff:
Believe you me, pounding sand hurts too.
[EVO 4G General] Sirchuk:
Never heard of pounding salt, but both are accurate. http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/go-pound-sand.html

Did you clarify it was the current full discount and not the new half discount? I'm sure they'll let you upgrade in august at a $75 discount.

[EVO 4G General] OneStepAhead:
right, i'm thinking he's talking about the $100 subsidy and not the $200. for me, its not worth it to raise my plan $30 a month to save another $100 on the phone.
[EVO 4G General] rdcrds:
There is no new upgrade policy other then if you are premier or not.
[EVO 4G General] Clay333:
Hope, definitely not a teenager, I wish I still was. Im just somebody that doesn't care too much for being screwed over. I have given sprint my money on time every month for a year (in August) even though I use less than 500 minutes, 700 text, and 1Gb of data per month. I think with the money they make off me the least they can do is hold to their word and give me my upgrade.

Also as I had seen others mention he said that I would be eligible for the full $150 upgrade, not the $75 half upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:
I know that when I was working for at@t CS, if you noted something and told the customer they would get it, even if it was the wring thing to do. If they deny you if there is actually a note, ask to talk to a super visor, I can't even count how many times I've waived their upgrade due to similar situations like this.

Hopefully that was some useful input...
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
So you have been a customer less than a year, and your complaining? Try being a customer for 8.5 years, and being told that means nothing...
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Actually, if it's notated it must be honored, period. If he notated he would get his upgrade in August, Sprint will honor it, unless it's some crazy off the wall impossible thing like "customer will get credit of 10,000 (where the comma should have been a period and it should have read 100.00)

Oh yeah I definitely know what you mean. I had a situation alot like that with Directtv. Now I have dish network and will never look back. I would be pissed. If I were you I would try doing what I did and call before April 1st and have them note it if they say you can get the upgrade. Worse case scenario is you wont get it and you will just be in the same boat as if you didn't call. Good luck. Hope you can get it worked out.

[EVO 4G General] st0921:
@OP, I strongly recommend that you call Sprint and confirm that you do have the notation on your account.

A story about how bad their representation is... my wife had a Samsung Moment last year and she had a situation that she needed to make a 911 call. I'm sure people who had Moment know how bad the phone quality is, but during the 911 call, the call dropped and she couldn't complete the call. After that situation and while still had ~2 months left for an annual upgrade, we called Sprint to discuss an early upgrade option. The Rep and a supervisor said that they left a notation under the account and it would be reset for an early upgrade within 2 days. 2 days passed and we went to go get an EVO at Shack, obviously the Shack employee couldn't upgrade as the account information was not updated. So, we called Sprint from there and guess what, they had no idea what we were talking about. On top of that, this time they said that it was impossible for them to give us an early upgrade option. After threatening them that we'd sue them for selling such a crappy phone which couldn't even make the 911 call, etc., they reset my wife's account to an early date for an upgrade.

So, I would call another Sprint rep to confirm that you have a notation and also would call them one more time after 4/1 reset. They should be able to reset your account after 4/1 such that you will see your upgrade date as 8/1. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G General] heathmcabee:
Yeah, you need to call them back and get some more info on the notations on your account, otherwise you are SOL. I'm now paying full price for my Evo3d because of this crap premiere changes, though I'm sure Sprint doesn't mind. /sigh
[EVO 4G General] Clay333:
Ok so for all you haters ( I kid ) I just got off the phone with sprint. I checked my upgrade eligibility after April 1st and it said June of 2012. So I called Sprint and got a supervisor on the line. After a few minutes of her explaining the new policy to me she checked the notes on my account and said that since I was told I would get a full upgrade this year and it was noted on my account that they had to honor it. So I WILL be getting my Evo3d August 1st like I was told and many of you doubted. Just thought I would follow up on this post and anyone with similar experience let me know how it went for you.
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:

[EVO 4G General] Clay333:
Yeah I thought about recording the calls, but it was after my second call before I thought about it. The supervisor I talked to gave me her id# so if I have any problem they can contact her. I really had a feeling that they wouldn't go back on their word after they told me I would get it, but I will admit some of the people who posted negatively on this thread had me a little worried.

[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
