[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennr:
Hi guys,

I have been searching the forums for 2 weeks now trying to fix this myself, but I have put my pride in my pocket and am asking for help.

Backstory: Rooted phone, flashed CWM, used tons of custom froyo ROM's (doc roms mainly) and most recently Darky's 9.3 (awesome).

But then i decided I wanted Gingerbread (this is where the trouble began). Gingerbread worked just fine, but as there is no custom roms, I flashed back to 2.2 (obviosly screwed something up), because since then I have been plagued with process com.whatever.android.somethingelse has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.

please don't ask which force close message I am getting, lets just say, I am pretty sure I am getting them all!

I have flashed stock 2.1, custom 2.1, stock 2.2, custom 2.2's, I even went back to gingerbread a few times trying to fix this ***** of a problem. I tried re partitioning just the .pit file and then the other 3 files seporatly. NOTHING WORKS.

So, I am calling out to all you guys and girls who are heaps smarter than me to please help. the phone functions, turns on, make or receive calls and texts (not mms), emails work sometimes, but if I turn the phone off and on all the settings are wiped and I need to reload all the user details.

Oh, I should also add another major issue, I cannot use the internal memory for anything, I cannot take pictures unless I select the external SD card, I cannot install apps from market or .apk. I cannot even move data to it when its mounted on the pc.

I am completely lost. please help me.

And thanks in advance.

Sounds like it might be a dead internal sd card. You said you tried a re-partition with 3 file firmware? That should fix pretty much anything. I think your only option is to return to samsung at this point.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennr:
Thanks for the response.

is it possible to fix myself?

As Samsung will not cover it, even if I flash the stock Telstra ROM, it will still show that it has been rooted?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kops:
In doing your research, I'm sure you've heard of the internal SD problems that plague the i9000, are you by chance with Bell Mobility? This line concerns me..

"Oh, I should also add another major issue, I cannot use the internal memory for anything"

When I experienced multiple FCs (force closes) and incompatible system UID's, I tried flashing every kind of ROM there was with every kind of PIT file as well to no avail. However, one in particular worked for me and others. It is usually referred to as a full ROM. It contains the .csc and .sbl in it as well as the usual ROM contents.

The ROM I used is called FULL-i9000UGJH2.tar. Note, flashing this ROM with a pit file (be it 512, 513, or 803) wouldn't help me at all. What fixed the problem was flashing ONLY the ROM file in ODIN. Unfortunately, I can't find the thread where I found this ROM. I suggest searching around for it, if you can't find it PM me, and I will up it somewhere for you.

I'm not sure if this will help with your specific case, but its worth a shot. Also, wherever applicable, do a factory reset, clear your cache, and a full wipe install.

Good luck.

[edit]

Do a complete wipe and install with a stock 2.2 or 2.1 ROM in ODIN, there will be no evidence of a root.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennr:
Thanks for this dude, I will start my search for that rom.

I do a factory reset, wipe cache and data every time, however after doing all of that and flashing a new rom, it still has my google account details in the phone?? this is wierd, as I factory reset from recovery mode AND wipe all data from within the phone? Any suggestions?

Edit: and no, its is an Australian Telstra i9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kops:
Hmm, that is odd. How are you flashing your ROMs, using CWM? Have you used ODIN before?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennr:
I am using odin, this is the wierd part. I have tried repartitioning, not repartitioning, I have tried 512.pt 803.pit, full wipe and reset from both in the phones settings and recovery mode. reboot it, go through settup wizzard (which eventually force closes requiring me to reboot), go into accounts and there is my google account still set up???

Edit: also, I cannot find a file called FULL-i9000UGJH2.tar, I am downloading i9000UGJH2.tar as we speak, but i doubt it is the one you were reffering to, if you are able to point in in the right direction, that would be ace.

Cheers

If you're entering your gmail address in during the setup wizard, our google account will be linked. If you're not setting anything up and it is remembering your info, then something is definitely fishy.

I would flash back to a stock rom, and see what Samsung or your provider can do for you. In all honesty, the only thing I would be able to suggest is flashing and wiping :confused:

[edit]

When you download that ROM, open it up (using a program like WinRAR). The point of a full rom is that it contains

-cache.rfs

-dbdata.rfc

-factoryfs.rfs

-modem.bin

-param.lfs

-sbl.bin

-zimage

I'm unsure of any incompatibilities between the Canadian and Australian versions, but I will upload my copy for you to try.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennr:
I'm not entering any info during the setup wizard?

could it be something to do with the file system gingerbread uses? these issues only started when I went back from gingerbread to froyo? (and before you ask, I have tried going back to gingerbread with no solution) :p

I may have to bite the bullet and shoot it back to Samsung... or just buy another one! would love to try FULL-i9000UGJH2.tar if you could remember where you got it?

Thanks again for your help.

I seem to have remembered it being in this thread, which is why i had it on bookmark, but I'm not sure if the link has been removed or if i had been mistaken since I can no longer find it. I'm uploading for you to Rapidshare, where you can download as a free user...~30 mins ;). Again, I'm not sure if there are modem incompatibilities or not since this I am in Canada, and you are in Australia.

The way you're referring to accessing this internal SD....are you flashing your ROMs to an external microsd card?

Here is the full UGJH2 that I flashed (with no other options) that saved me.

No, by accessing my SD, i mean being able to download ansd install apps (and things like that). also, just tried to remove my google (gmail) account from my phone, and it wouldn't let me, it keeps force closing.

Thanks for the upload mate, I really appreciate it, currently downloading it, will let you know.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennr:
Hey mate, no go, i got some functionality back on the phone, but still force closes and I cannot save anything to SD (or install apps).

another email account (an exchange server account) that was previously deleted has appeared back set up and working (I have not been able to set this up for a week), it appeared on its own which leads me to think there is a hidden partition on my internal sd, hence I cannot access it. must be something to do with Gingerbread.

Thanks for all your help though.

Edit: It just completely crashed again, force closes just about everything that is open, phone functionality is gone (phone icon vanished) as did contacts. freezes for a couple of minutes and then reboots. i may have to throw it at a wall! :mad:

Hi mate,

I have tried that several times, i think there is a hidden partition thanks to Gingerbread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gchat:
I would be sure that your internal sd card is screwed but since everything worked fine before gingerbread something else has probably happened. Also your data wont delete and that seems to be the source of the problem. Try to install the lagfix from k13d and see if it had any results. This should reformat all partitions on the internal sd.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennr:
I will gladly give it a try, however I am not too sure what k13d is or where I can get it?

any advice?

Thanks mate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennr:
No go dude, I chose to install the lagfix from the speedmod recovery and it gave me an error, could not install lafix.log (or something similar), then the recovery mode froze.

Battery out and back in, rebooted to recovery, tried again with the same result, only this time it won't let me back into recovery mode?

Edit: ok, got it back into recovery mode, tried again with the same fail, rebooted yet again and tried to disable lagfix, now im stuck on the galaxy s screen.

time to smash the bastard of a phone and relieve some stress!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gchat:
Sorry it didn't helped but it seems the source of your problem is the "/data" partition. Thats also the reason you could boot (the partition is somewhat readable) but got many FC's and after repeated wipes there is still user data stored on it. The other partition of you internal sd is the "/sdcard" which isn't necessary. If you have still patience I'd suggest the following.

1. Boot into recovery

2. type "adb root" followed by an "adb shell" on an command prompt

3. Now type "fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0" and paste the output here.

Also look if you are able to mount the data partition with the command "mount /data" and create a file with the command "touch /data/data/test"

In any case it would be best and return the phone to Samsung because I'm nearly 100% sure that something on this particular downgrade went wrong during the repartition and destroyed your internal sd. This would probably also happen if you didn't flashed gingerbread on the first place.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennr:
Hi mate, thanks heaps for your help, I will give this a try, but could you please explain step 2 in more detail, as when I am in recovery I cannot type anything? am I supposed to do that step on the pc or the phone?

Thanks again.

you have to install android framework sdk then you get adb on your pc

then you have to open command promt (cmd) and go to the folder you installed framework sdk (adb.exe) into and from there type the commands from gchat

but before typing that your sgs must be logged to the pc with usb and in the recovery modus and it has to be rootet before.

hope someone can help us out on this - or back to samsung
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennr:
Great, I will give this a go tonight.

Did you try the instructions above?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gchat:
It's like ilovebytes explained. Actually if you don't want to download the whole SDK you only need the adb.exe file plus the 2 respective dll's. To make it simple just copy those 3 files inside c:\windows\system32\. If this confuses you don't hesitate to ask.

Hmmm, the partition table seems fine. Were you able to create an empty file within "/data/data/" with the command "touch /data/data/testfile"?

If you have a k13* kernel installed can you try to format the partition "/data" from the menu (mounts and system -> format data)?

Also to both of you I also need the output of the commands "mount" and "ls -al /data/"

Cheers,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennr:
I do have a question for you mate (oh, and thanks for the info).

I have installed SDK, how do I get access to the phone now? do I have to plug it in when I am in download mode or recovery mode?

Cheers,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gchat:
Hi glennr,

Within the SDK you downloaded there should be a "tools" directory were you can find the three files I were talking about. If you can't find them use the ones I attached. Just copy them within the directory "%WINDIR%\System32\" and you should be ready. Normally it should be "C:\Windows\System32\".

The next step is to start the phone in recovery mode and plug it in your usb port. Next open a command prompt ( Start->run> cmd.exe) and type "adb root". Then you should get a message about the adb daemon starting. After that type "adb shell" and execute the commands I sent you earlier.

If you get an error message about the device not being recognized then you don't have the Kies drivers installed. Just install them and you should be ready to go

Had the exact problem your meant to reformat and re partition the internal SD but I just updated to whatever firmware i wanted (in your case gingerbread) and I unchecked re-partition. However the ROM that i upgraded from worked so downgrade to say Darky's then upgrade to gingerbread no partition ticked try that ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennr:
Hi mate,

Thanks for the assistance, I have tried what you are suggesting many times (and also many different ways), but it just wont work.

No matter what way I do it I end up with the same problem, I have tried repartitioning the 803 pit also, I cannot access the internal sd to reformat it.

I am probably going to reburn the image anyway, as my Google Talk refuses to login which prevents market downloads from working.

I was wondering if it were possible to port the Evo 3D to the Evo Supersonic. Is the 3D screen a hardware thing or a software thing? I've never understood how this new glasses-less 3D thing works. If it is only software, then it should theoretically be possible to port it to the Supersonic. Although if it's a hardware thing, then just tell me so and I won't whine.

That was a nice answer :-)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
The ROM will probably get ported, but the OP is asking about whether the 3D feature itself can be "ported" to the Evo. I'm pretty sure there's a hardware component to the 3D implementation (i.e., a property of the screen), and that this feature won't port over to the Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Evo 3D isn't here yet, its many months away. I'm sure the 3D feature will be for a 3D phone only! The rom itself isn't 3D just certain features; YouTube 3D, Netflix 3D etc. So to Answer your question OP, no you WILL not get 3D on you non 3D evo! If you want 3D just buy the evo 3D. (No one stills knows when its even coming out) I'm 100% sure its the screen itself that gives the glasses free experience.

I also posted this on Android Central. I'm trying to get some feedback. Since the day I got my Thunderbolt it has not paired up with my network extender. I've been in contact with the network extender group, tech support and everyone in between and no resolution. I called again today and the tech support person said they would work on it and call me with a resolution. I got the call tonight and they explained that I would have to change my calling plan from an old Alltel plan to a Verizon plan in order to gain access to the extender. I explained that my wife and mother, who are both on my plan, had 3G phones but were able to get Verizon info (prl and sid#) pushed to their phones and the extender works great for them. Since they can't push anything to the Thunderbolt I needed to change my plan. How can the top of the line Verizon phone not get updates OTA or manually similar to 3g? I'm no tech genius but I don't understand how my plan can affect my ability to have my Verizon phone hit my Verizon extender. I spoke with the manager and was told that Alltel technology was different than 4G but I explained that's not my problem because I get 4g. I'm extremely upset about this because I feel like they are trying to force me to change my plan and pay $30-$50 more a month. Verizon took Alltel customers in with assurances that service would only change for the better and our plan could stay the same. And now I'm being told basically that I don't pay enough a month for Verizon technology. I was also told that former Alltel customers cannot get v cast and other Verizon apps. So I asked for his boss to give me a call and I'll continue to go up the ladder. Has anyone else run into this?
