[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleepyEDB:
I'm also on CM7 and my PRL is rather outdated, 60671, but nothing appears to be out of order. Should I update my PRL just because, or if it ain't broke don't fix it?

Thanks,

sleepy
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
Yeah, I would. You may not be having issues now, but you will eventually. :)

I've been having the exact same problem but this doesn't seem to be working for me. I've made a nandroid backup of my CM7 install, wiped everything, and flashed the latest LiquidSense rom. However, when I go to update the PRL it tells me that : "The application OMADM (process com.htc.android.amadm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Is there anything I missed or should I try another sense rom/reflashing?

EDIT: I reflashed the LiquidSense rom and now I got all my messages from before. Restored my CM7 nandroid and getting messages again. No idea what happened but as long as it works...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
More than likely, you just got a bad flash. Happens sometimes. Glad you got it fixed.

Hi, I know this is the wrong forum for this, but I couldn't post in the dev forums due to not posting enough...

Since installing Tesla Coil rom 1.2, when I attempt to change the settings for my hotspot feature, it crashes settings and I must force close it.

I'm running Tesla Coil 1.2, as I said, and Adryn's 4.1b kernel. Other than that, I've seen no issues.

Any ideas on what I can do to resolve this?
[Thunderbolt General] skinien:
I've been keeping my eye on the Tesla Coil thread. Someone complained of the same issue. I'm not sure if a fix has been found. Try searching that thread to see if there is an update.

Have you tried using the Wireless Tether app in the market?

Please post rom specific issues in the related rom thread. Thanks!

wireless tether seems to work... shame, as its such an ugly app. :)

thx in advanced
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I'm TheQuest:
Hi bassjam

What Rom is it you are trying to install?

Is there any error message showing when it stops?

At a guess It sounds as if you are trying to install a Corrupt Rom, you need to check the MD5 Checksum that come with the Rom to make sure they are not corrupt on download, before you try to install them.

What you need to do is download the Rom again, check it's Checksum With this

MD5 Check 2.1

tool.

Then delete the bad Rom that on your SD Card, and replace with the new download [Checked with MD5 Check] Rom, and flash it.

Take Care

TheQuest :cool:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hedayat7:
Agree with I'm TheQuest. That's maybe because of bad download. redownload back the rom and put back to your SD card. Do the nandroid restore (but if you dont have nandroid backup before, this also can be done by taking out your sdcard and put into your laptop/card reader).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassjam:
Thx for your answers

The problem appeared with the cynanogen RC4

this rom was installed since a week and i was on RC3 before

one day, I powered off the phone, then powered it on, and the phone boot only to the recovery.

I tried to flash the last leedroid but nothing

After that I knew it was not from the cyanogen rom.

For the moment, to solve the problem, i flashed (on bootloader) the last official WWE ruu(1.72), flash ok but the phone was very very sloooowwww

especially to install the sence, after unlocking simcard, I have a white screen with htc logo during 20 min. and only after that, I can start the configuration.

so i decided to back to ruu 1.32 to root / S-off the phone again

After that I try to install the cyanogen rom again

What do you think about that?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I'm TheQuest:
Hi bassjam

If you

Change ROM's

you are always advised to do a

FULL WIPE

.

Moving to Cynanogen RC4 from RC3 should not have caused your problem, but even when Updating a Rom you are advised to wipe the Cache Partition and the Dalvik Cache

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassjam:
My problem is not yet resolved

actually I download rommanager to get the recovery

my phone is so slooooowwwwwww...

after that I will try to flash new rom with a full wipe before ;-)

if it doesn't work --> the phone will go on "after sales service" :-(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I'm TheQuest:
Hi bassjam

Yes do a full wipe, it should help with the speed, good luck.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassjam:
is the first time such a problem that happens

I had a htc magic, hero, desire and windows mobile phone before

with each phone, I had at less similar problem

for the first time, I wonder if this is not a hardware problem like writing speed of the processor...

for the moment i finished radio s-off, eng-off, and i put the recovery with fastboot( problem to get recovery with rom manager)

It's time to full wipe, about 30 minutes to wait if not more...

edit: full wipe ok after 15 min, i'm going to wipe with fastboot to be sur!?

redit edit: flash the phone with cyanogen rc4...

thx
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassjam:
something in recvory or perhaps on i didn't see it before

I actually use CWM 2.5.1.2

i have in the recovery screen:

E: can't mount CACHE: recovery/command

E: can't mount CACHE: recovery/log

E: can't open CACHE: recovery/log

Could someone explain me what does it mean?

thx

flashed leedroid rom with CWM 2.5.1.2 and all is ok( it was impossible to flash cyano with this recovery)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Yes CWM 2.x can't write the ext4 partitions required by Gingerbread so you require cwm 3.x, you could have flashed this from Fastboot without first flashing a new ROM. If you didn't have CWM 3.x in the first place this was probably the source of your problems.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassjam:
I don't believe it!

phone works during 5 five with cyanogen rom, I put the wifi on, and then bootloop( recognized problem on RC4)

i pull out the battery then restart the phone, and the phone has not started and the stay blocked to htc logo

PB: I have no recovery, impossible to to flash another rom. When I launch recovery, phone blocked on htc screen!

I tried to flash ruu 1.32 or 1.72 on fastboot mode... but phone still blocked on htc screen...

I don't know what to do

pls help

thx
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike1089:
Ok guys, clearly I'm new to all this. I've only had my Galaxy S (I9000m Bell) for 3 days now and already managed to brick it.

So here's what happened, I wanted to flash CM7, what I did was rooted obviously, I unlocked since I'm with Rogers and the phone is from Bell. Installed Rom manager, titanium back, Terminal emulator, Astro, etc. So I'm pretty sure I have the required tools. I also flashed SpeedMod Froyo [K13D HPCall VoodooSnd4 SharpnessFix STABLE].

Alright so I noticed I couldn't boot into recovery from CWM even though I flashed it using Rom Manager, I tried fixing this for a while with no luck. I then came upon a thread discussing the 3 button combo fix for download mode. I wanted to get this done just in case what happened happened lol

So anyways, I couldn't find instructions for Mac so I tried putting the pieces together using terminal and Heimdall.

The last thing that happened to my phone was that I was able to get into download mode using adb reboot recovery.

However continuing to the next step to apply the fix wouldn't work for me using heimdall, it would just fail.

Being the idiot that I am I decided to exit in terminal, closed heimdall, turned off the phone and turned it back on and guess what...yup I'm screwed. It's bricked.

Now the problem is I don't have 3 button fix, so I can't get into download mode (even if i did, i wouldn't know what to do).

I read about the jig fix but I don't know if i have any other options, hopefully something faster that I can do myself instead of buying the jig and having to wait for it to **** from ebay.

Sorrry for the longgg post and hope anyone here can help me! Thanks

PS. I tried using terminal again to get to download mode like i did the first time (adb reboot recovery) and it didn't work...it said no device found or something like that
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapollo:
Hi It seems your only option short of looking for a repair shop or sending phone to Samsung is to try the JIG. If you don't know how to approach this print any of the diagrams or guidelines e.g. look here.

What you can do is go to electronics part shop and ask for help with the jig ask the man to wire the resistors to the pins in usb plug just to see if the phone kick starts if not, well you're screwed.

If it works just buy it if not, google for repair shop with Riff Box and JTAG adapter for I9000 it takes about half a bell to do it (repair I mean). But if it's new you have to return it in for repair.

I guess you should get the jig one way or another, either visit electronics parts shop, ebay-it

hope this'll help somewhat.

cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony604:
If you're in the vancouver area, you can swing by and use the jig I made :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike1089:
Thank you both for the feed back.

@Tony I'm actually in Ottawa. I found someone on Kjiji that also made his own but wants to charge $10 and he lives too far away so I just went ahead and ordered one off ebay for $9 with shipping.

I read on the xda thread regarding the JIG that it the phone doesn't boot at all and just shows a black screen with the bricked image (as opposed to loading the carrier name or samsung with a white screen before) that it won't work and that is my case. Anyways I hope it works, just gotta wait and see I guess. I just don't even know what the next step would be. What do I do once I'm in download mode? :S

EDIT: NVM about the whole white screen, black screen thing, it says that the JIG should work if I see the PC-Phone logo which I do.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Three days huh? Wow, when you do it, you really DO it. Reading your description it sounded a bit like a Med student doing a brain transplant.

First I would just take the phone back to your carrier or service center and say you have no idea what happened, pay the money and have them sort it out. I fear there is no easy way out of the hole you have dug.

Next you should spend a few hours reading as much as you can here and then start small. Ask questions before you do anything. Root the phone. Try a few different kernels and lagfixes. Maybe flash something from doc's kitchen or a custom ROM. Make sure you know in advance what could go wrong and how to handle it, as much as possible. Once you have some experience then try something like cm7, which is very much a beta on the sgs and quite complex to flash and set up.

Spend a little time walking before you run (no matter how much you think you know) ...you'll enjoy the trip more.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike1089:
Haha I can't take it back to the carrier, I bought it off kijiji, it's from Bell and I'm with Rogers. I unlocked it and as far as I know Bell is really bad with their warranty and last time I bought a Blackberry that was locked to Bell and unlocked it I was told by Bell that I need a receipt, which I obviously don't have. I would rather throw the phone away and buy a new one than have to deal with carriers.

I'm just gonna try the JIG I guess since I already ordered it. Hopefully doesn't take too long to get here.

And yes, I definitely need to read more and follow the instructions on a Windows PC instead of trying to put bits and pieces together and try to get everything working on Mac.

It seems however that the more I read the more I get confused, is it just me or are there so many different ways to achieving the same thing?

Anyways, I bought this as my first Android to experiment and learn on and so far that's what I've been doing. I'm not afraid of running into problems, I'll try to enjoy fixing them :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
You are right that there are different approaches to doing the same thing...often it is just a matter of what works for you.

Once you have a jig you will have no trouble going in to download mode. From there anything is fixable using odin. I would suggest reading the thread about darky's resurrection ROM which is a good place to start from when you have had trouble.

Just remember to do your homework and enjoy the process.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike1089:
Sounds good, will definitely keep that in mind. Thank you for your help, very much appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike1089:
Hey guysss!

I just wanted to let you all know that I am a biggg IDIOT! LOL

So I ordered the JIG from ebay and on my way home I went to a couple of electronic stores to try and buy those resistors because I wanted to make my own JIG as well. Anyways, all the stores were closed and my friend told me he can grab the resistors from his lab tomorrow (engineering students lol)

I obviously don't want to wait till tomorrow. I came home and decided to take out the phone from its box again. This time I did the 3-button combo but in a different way, not using volume UP + DOWN + power but I came across a Samsung PDF explaining the Anyway JIG and it showed to press Volume Down + Home button + Power.

I gave that a try and voilà!!! I'm back in download mode! YAYYY!

I'm afraid to turn it off or pull the battery out cuz I don't want to risk ruining it even more so I'm gonna go ahead with rschenck's suggestion and use Darky's Resurrection Rom!

Thank you all for your help!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike1089:
Uh oh...one last problem

So as of now I am able to access Download Mode but not Recovery:S

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
If you can get to download mode you are fine for the moment since that is what you need for odin. Follow one of the guides for using odin here at XDA exactly, and good luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike1089:
Ok so after download mode, I followed the steps to reflash stock, i downloaded the same JL2 that I had prior. Odin said passed but the phone wouldn't boot, it would just get stuck on S in the boot screen...

I did a complete wipe data/cache through recovery and that didnt help.

I then thought I would give Darky's Resurrection a try since it wipes everything anyways...odin again said PASSED but there was a sign of a circle on the screen and it didn't boot. I did it again, said passed again and this time im on a endless boot loop. It turns on says samsung i9000, etc. and then blinks and does it again.

I am still able to get into download mode. I just don't know what to do anymore:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Download mode = Yes

Then download stock firmware from samsungfirmwares.com not 2.3.3

or from link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846913

Download ODIN

Flash stock firmware through Odin with pit 512 and repartition checked .

If that fails try Eclair firmware 2.1

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike1089:
Ok so I did the above instructions and I the same happened. I am on JL2 now but it wont pass the boot screen (Stuck on the S). I did check repartition and 512 pit and pda.

I also have this error:

Can't mount DBDATA: copy default media content failed

My question is if I try eclair will I lose 3 button fix? From what I was able to gather the 3 button fix for Bell I9000M only came out with JL2.

Will I lose it or is it permanent once I have it?

Simple poll. I am curious to see who uses JIT and who has it disabled? If you answer, please explain why you do or do not use JIT. Just thought I would get people's different input on this
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illdourmum:
i used to have it enabled but had seen no positive outcomes, just more lag.

but that was when i was running CM6... i havent tried it on CM7 yet.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
I know JIT on Sense 2.1 was disastrous for the most part. Have stayed away from it for the most part.

JIT on CM7 is actually very stable, however I observe absolutely no improvement or noticeable change in performance anywhere.

Then again, people also claim a smoother experience when "Allow purging of assets" is unchecked, even thought it is meant to improve performance of low memory devices like ours... YMMV, I guess.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tannerw_2010:
My question is, what are the supposed benefits? Scoring higher on a particular benchmark score and thats it? I agree. It doesn't seem to make my phone any smoother, if anything, it makes it more laggy.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
I've been using jit since the days of Ic3 rom and damage's roms as well. I think it just improves data. No speed on the phone just how the phone complies data. I think. But from my time on here if you can't overclock to 768 and run stable then I'd recommend avoiding jit.

Yea its Me Again With The

Modified Hero
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hiro14:
In aosp 2.2 I would get an extra 20 or so on my quadrant score with JIT enabled. In gingerbread I haven't seen any improvement at all. I leave it disabled because I heard it uses more ram to speed things up.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:
I use JIT and I always have since installing custom ROM images. There's a lot of hearsay left over from long before I joined xda-developers that says it causes instability. But this is probably more to do with the original way JIT was brought to the Hero.

The latest official software for the Hero is built from Android 2.1. JIT was not introduced into Android until 2.2. So as far as I know, the original method to implement JIT on the Hero was to hack it into the official software. This is likely where the instabilities were found.

I've been using JIT since dabbling with CM6 (and its derivatives), and I've never seen any negative effects. I do, however, always decrease my VM heap to 24m and enable compcache at 18% when using JIT. Not doing so MAY cause JIT to starve the phone of memory, which could be another source of the instabilities you've seen mentioned.

Some people say JIT isn't necessary because its effects are only noticed in benchmarks such as Linpack. This, simply put, is false. JIT is always going to offer a performance increase. Now, depending on how you use your phone, the increase may not always be very noticeable, but that doesn't mean it's not there. And the less time the VM spends using the processor, the more battery life you're going to see. That's an angle that isn't always addressed when JIT is discussed.

My advice is to leave it enabled as long as you don't specifically see any issues with it. Our sister phone of sorts, the Droid Eris, now has it enabled by default in CM7.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Thanks jasonmaloney, I always prefer hearing answers from people with technical know-how such as yourself. On a CM performance related note, what is your opinion on people reporting better performance with "Allow purging of assets" disabled?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:
I was actually the one who submitted the patch to enable it by default. I've only ever heard of specific issues in relation to ADWLauncher, which, in my opinion, shouldn't ever be used in the first place due to the numerous better-written alternatives.

But I'm starting to wonder whether it has anything to do with the GPS problems people have been seeing.

All I really know for sure is that the graphics subsystems in CM7 for the Heroc are screwed up, and that they're probably going to be that way even when CM7 is finalized.

EDIT: If anyone can find compelling evidence that having it enabled is causing issues, I'll revert the patch and make it disabled by default.

In order to Arabize the SMS

1. Download Honso's Multi-language keyboard from the market

2. Download Honso Plug-in

In order to Arabize the Web experience

G1 users complain of Arabic letters not being displayed correctly while browsing the net on Gingerbread, this is mainly due to a RTL problem in most of the roms available. The problem mainly lies in the Libwebcore.lib and Framework files.

A quick fix can be achieved by installing the latest version of Opera 11 beta from the market and making it your default browser. This should give you an acceptable Arabic reading on the web, Twitter, Facebook applications.

1. Download Opera 11 beta

2. Make it your default browser

This was tested on Yoshi Ginger 6.1, GB Cronos but should work fine on most roms like GB COS.
