[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canihavealogin:
I’m hoping someone can help me out with my phone. I have been searching the forums but it’s all getting a little much and i just need some advice please.

The background

I flashed my UK sgs (i9000 i think) with a darky modded ROM which has worked fine for about 6 months my phone has become more and more unstable. Seeing as i can work Odin i thought i would flash it again and fix my issues. Then my phone crashed and wouldn’t boot up, it was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy screen, before the flashing S. I then downloaded the official 2.3.3 ROM’s from the link of official Samsung ROM’s from the thread in the General forum and flashed it. This all went fine until i rebooted my phone, it went into recovery mode fine, although i got some error messages about being unable to mount the SD cards (i can add the proper error message tomorrow for you) i cleared user data and cache, rebooted and my phone came up with a new Gingerbread ROM. This was fine until i realised it had not mounted either my Internal or External SD cards. The operating system worked fine but i could not format or mount my SD cards. I then decided to reimage the phone using the same image i had downloaded in case something had gone wrong but i got the same error messages and now i couldn’t boot into the OS. Since this has happened i have downloaded a 2.2.x ROM and flashed that but i still have the same problem. I have also downloaded and flashed the Darky Resurrection ROM but that doesn’t seem to have helped. I have asked Odin to repartition, i have used PIT 512 and a couple of others, 1 and 3 file ROM’s and if i am honest, i have got nowhere apart from a headache.

I think i have some how corrupted the internal SD card and need to reimage all the right folders and stuff but with the huge amount of official ROM’s, custom ROM’s, recovery tools and tips and tricks, my head is just swimming. Can someone please just point me in the right directions and hopefully i can have a working phone in the morning.

Many thanks in advance,

Simon

do you have any lagfix before you flash to the official 2.3.3 ROM’s ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jontonn:
I'm having a similar issue w/ mine. The external sd wouldn't mount and i had kind of already started the process to update the rom. It was a dumb mistake. i knew the sd wasn't mounting so i used a different phone to mount put the updates on. Nevertheless i can't use my phone, other than to get on clockwork.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canihavealogin:
I think i may have had a lag fix on it but as i was unable to get my phone to start there was no chance of removing it before i reflashed the phone. Now i just need to get the damn internal SD working again so i can have a working phone, can you help?

Also, sorry if my main post is a little rambling, i wrote it when i got home from the pub drowning my sorrorws and may have been a little drunk... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canihavealogin:
Ok, now i've had a coffee and my headache is dying down i can add a little more info which will hopefully help.

I just downloaded GT_I9000_XWJS7_XXJPY_XEEJS1 from Darky rom user guides page on restoring a SGS to a stock ROM and followed all of the instructions. the flash in Odin goes just fine, no errors or anything, my phone the reboots, gets to the Samsung Galaxy screen and i get into the recovery mode with the following messages :

Update media. please wait

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(no such file or directory)

E:copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount SDCARD

Your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions

copy default media content failed.

This is where i then get stuck, my phone will just get stuck in a boot loop and there seems to be no way to get into the phone. This is starting to drive me to dispair now as everything i have tried has failed badly! Does anyone have any idea how i go about recovering from this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trustsyzaa:
ok so,

-flash froyo firmware (2.2.1 might be better) then flash speedmod kernel

-get into recovery mode and check your phone's file system in lagfix option

-if it is rfs change it to ext4

-if it is ext4 change it to rfs

im not sure about this method but i ever had this preblem after i converted system to rfs (ext4 before)

hope it helps you and tell me that it works or not,thanks.

edit:wrong word :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bududroid:
FLash darky's resurrection Rom ...that error caused by you forget disable lagfix before...

or try Flashing a full rom (3files) with .pit to repartitioning your phone... thick repartition...and thats not "Brick" if you can go download mode...

Come on lets see :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adarsh1988:
I once had the same problem. Same error.message. I searched a lot in xda n finally read something which says to flash Rom with 812 pit and eclair (2.1) with 3 files. After flashing the error message came again so I relished using only pda file. Next time it rebooted normally into home screen. Hope it helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canihavealogin:
OK, we're getting somewhere now but not there yet. Flashing the speedmod kernel lets me boot the phone which is further than i have got for a day so thats good, but it still won't recognisse any internal or external SD cards, if you look in the settings section it just shows options to format the sd cards.

I tried changing the filesystem to ex4 as recommended but once it reboots when it says it will go to the recovery menu to debug it just presents me with the option to convert it again as it says the filesystem for /data is RFS still.

Any ideas why it would be doing this and why it won't recognise any of the memory cards? I have also noticed that when i connect the phone to my PC now and tell it to go into Mass storage mode, it shows the drives but says there is no media there! I'm very confused by the whole thing now but at least i do have a phone again of sorts!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canihavealogin:
So i flashed Darky's resurrection ROM and this is now booting up much as the phone was with the speedmod kernel flashed but i still have the same issue where it won't recognise either the external or internal SD cards so i have no storage space at all. Is it possible i have broken them? I assume at least a bit of the internal card is working or the OS wouldn't be there but why can it not see the other half of the card?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canihavealogin:
Right, after messing about for far too long i have bitten the bulit and sending it in for repairs, i've read through a couple of posts that seem to say it's the only way to fix it so will see how good the Samsung techicians are! :)

Thanks for all the help though, you've got me a working phone again, even if i can't save anything on it!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chubby_Skunk:
I have both but I was wondering which one is better....

I heard that the APN can be seen by AT&T and they will charge me and make me buy a tethering plan.

On the other hand Barnacle is slow.

So can I get caught on either? which one? :confused:

Thanks. :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chubby_Skunk:
Come on? Someone has to know about this.... :(
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justarookie:
hotspot

u answered ur own question. the fact that ATT can see u with custom apn i wouldnt even risk it. use wifi tether or barnacle..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chubby_Skunk:
Well if you can read, you would notice that I posted this before..... Sorry for making it so complicated. :p
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chubby_Skunk:
But the real question I was going for is which one allows faster DL and UL speeds?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Run speedtest using both and compare results?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banes:
fyi i got much faster results using pdanet with usb wire over using barnacle
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justarookie:
neither. get an iphone
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalimmortal363:
I work for at&t and we can't look at data in real time like that. At&t looks for extremely high data usage and then can go back and analyze from there. From my understanding it's all about TTL values and the difference of the phone and tethered device

[Galaxy S I9000 General] lightning18:
Can you go to download mode by pressing Vol.Down + Home + Power buttons?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] shwepps:
no i can't :((( the same picture !!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lightning18:
1. Try removing the battery for a few minutes and try again going to download mode.

2. If that doesn't work a JIG cable may be your last resort.

Try reading posts regarding your problem. Good luck!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FiRe || TeaR:
First Remove the device from the PC

Then Remove the battery

and put the battery again and enter to download mode (( dont't run the device without download mode ))

and flashable any rom you wan't from odin

and will work :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shwepps:
ok man thx ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] deadey3:
pull out the battery and put it back in than quickly use 3 button combo to go download mode

u have to be quick it took me while to do it lol

hope this helps
[Galaxy S I9000 General] _george:
It can be a bit of a pain, ive had the battery fall out fumbling around trying to do it too fast.

Worst case if 3 button combo doesnt work you can always make a jig.

Hey folks, I was going to post this in the GreyBlur dev thread but my post count isn't high enough so I'm here...

Anyway, I'm having an odd issue with the screen timeout. Earlier I would use the phone, set it down, and the screen would not shut off until I hit the lock/power button. It would just stay on forever. I noticed in Settings - Display - Screen Timeout that I had no choices in there except for "0 minutes". That's it, nothing else.

So I decided to reflash, and now the screen is turning off by itself after about 15 seconds but still in that same menu there are no choices except for "0 minutes" and it's radio button is not selected.

Anyone have any thoughts or experienced this before? I'd appreciate any tips. Oh, this phone was new out of the box and GreyBlur was the first and only ROM put on here. No dealings with Titanium Backup or other potentially weird stuff.

Thanks for your help!!

[LG Optimus 2x] encryptor20:
Did it and it worked thanks. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] naimmkassim:
Is this only for LG O2X? Can I use it to install on others smartphone for example on my DHD?

I did try, but its keep force close each time I try to open or create new file.

:confused::(
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
? Tried to push it instead of installing it?
[LG Optimus 2x] naimmkassim:
Sorry, Im noob.

What is adb? Where I can download to use it?

My DHD not rooted.:D

Edit: I Just google about it "Android Debug Bridge". Its look like too complicated to me. Is there any more easy way which no need for me to root etc.

Just asking. Anyway I hit thanks button to reidar.ostrem for the help.
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
Don't think it's possible then, you need root and unlocked security on the dhd to be able to write to system/app sorry.
[LG Optimus 2x] sebyyy:
how is polaris office, whihc office do you feel best in android, i use sgs.
[LG Optimus 2x] kanak:
I am facing the same problem, it installed properly but it keeps force closing each time I try to open or create new file.

Can anyone please help to solve this problem and get polaris office working, as its not even available on android market place.
[LG Optimus 2x] mike-o2:
I use Polaris Office for editing files and QuickofficeHD as PDF viewer.

As far as I have experienced it QuickofficeHD is by far the fastest App to open and render PDFs.

Its not on the market but someone on this board linked to it... let me search for it...

anyone tried installing polaris office on cm7? I've been having force closures with it on the 30th nightly. It starts up but when i try to open a document it FC. Anyone have an idea why the phone might be acting this way?
[LG Optimus 2x] OngPangTau:
Do you mind to share how to "push" it by using ADB? Or maybe you can share with me any link to make this happened? I am on rooted Motorola Atrix 4G (AT&T) model.

Thanks ;)

Just realized that Motorola Atrix 4G is still on Android version 2.2.2 and this Polaris Office is only support those gadget which is on (min.) version 3.0 and above...hopefully Atrix 4G will have OTA on version 3.0 soon... :(
[LG Optimus 2x] Charlotte90T:
tried on my Wildfire. Force closed whatever I tried to open.

Hey guys,

Hey I am looking at buying the Velocity micro cruz reader r101, and was wondering if any has it and if they are having any luck at rooting it, i heard the market place doesnt come on it, and just in general was wondering if it would be a good buy for ($119) from amazon. I have been doing a lot of research and it looks like a good buy for that price on a 7 inch tablet. So any comments or anything that would be great. Thanks guys.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JosherK:
R101 gets a 7 out of 10 in my book

I have an R101 that I got from tigerdirect for $110... Just FYI, I have heard there have been best buy sales at $99, and I've seen them sold on eBay used for $60.

I like it... the main issue is that the touch screen doesn't accommodate my thick stubby fingers, though from what I've read on other forums, there is a "learning curve" for figuring out all the tricks to using the display. There also is not much room for apps, but there is an apps2sd script that you can use to store apps on the internal sd card, which fixes things up a bit. I wish I had another tablet to compare this one to for you, but this is my only android device (besides my nook).

The R101 has been rooted, it's very straightforward. You don't need to root it in order to use marketplace, just update the ROM. If you get the R101 (rather than the 103), then you'll want to stay clear of the 800 MHz ROM's because you do risk bricking the device. My understanding is you need to ROM it in order to root it anyway (but someone can correct me if I'm wrong).

Here are the instructions I found helpful:

just google the following:

slatedroid r101 macho cruz

and select the second result in the list (CRUZ READER ONLY - Step-by-step for Update, Root and SetCPU)

(sorry - I'm a new user so can't post links)

Using the ROM in these instructions is risky on an R101, but using the original macho cruz rom that they link to is less risky. I used the original, and I'm very happy with the results... I use my cruz probably about 20% of the time browse the web, just because it's comfortable to hold and read from. As with all tablets, typing isn't as natural as on a keyboard.

Hope this helps...

Cheers!

I'm current running meXdroidMod meXperia remeX ROM and I really like it especially the screen transitions and phone dialer setup. Today I found Ultimate Droid ROM which is extremely fast. I wanted to ask how do I pull the phone dialer, screen transitions and apply them to UD ROM? I've searched the thread looking for an answer but couldn't find what I was looking for.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
you can pull files using ADB

but doin that may not work for the phone do different kernal and builds

but if you want to give it a try

you can do

Adb pull /system/Phone.apk (drag a folder in terminal/cmd pmrpt)

then push it in
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
adb pull /system/app/Phone.apk :D

The total command would look something like this;

adb pull /system/app/Phone.apk c:\android-sdk\apps

The second part of the command (c:\...) is the path to whatever location you want to save the app to. Don't forget Linux/Android is (/) vs. Windows (\)

Honestly though, I would just DL the ROM and use 7zip to open it and drag out the .apk you want. Then open (don't extract) the other ROM and replace the .apk with the one you want. Flash and enjoy. Much easier IMO.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
thts flash a whole rom over again, simply pulling and pushing would jus do that and see if would FC if it does, you can jus push old Phone.apk back

thats why i said you can drag a folder/destination into cmd prompt/terminal and it will show with out typing the whole file path where you want

Hello i just picked up the G2X phone today and upon leaving the store the phone had begun to have data issues. Meaning it was not keeping its connection, which left me with no functionality to the internet.

See youtube video i posted:

How old is your similar card?

What card are you referring to?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
No such issues or complaints on this. Were you on wifi in the store?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gamecheif:
No, wifi wasn't enabled in the store. As a matter of fact, i actually tried to use the wifi when 4G begun having data issues and was unable to find any networks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jink25:
Mine has randomly disconnected from 4G as well, although the status bar still shows it connected. If I restart the phone it comes back on.

I think it may have something to do with toggling on wifi, but it has also happened after just sitting idle for an extended period, and wont come back on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gamecheif:
Well, I think LG should of did a lot more QC before they even though about dropping this phone on the shelves. There is also a lot of little stuff that this phone is just not doing that my optimus T did flawlessly.

I'd have to agree. I'd recommend having your sim card replaced to see if that helps.

Interesting ill tell you how i was able to get the phone. I was actually on flex pay the TM rep ported my number to a new line on our family line. Before that happened i was using a different number that wasnt attached to the sim card i am using now and 4G internet was working correctly on that sim card.But, Now that you have stated your issue. i think im going back to the tmobile store and see if they can get a new sim card for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] luckycook82:
So I'm not the only one with the network issue. seems like as soon as I disconnect from wifi I lose network connectivity. I still see my signal but can't access the internet at all. Totally locks up until I reboot. Which is proving to be a pain in the butt.

I'm going to t-mobile today to get a new sim card to see if that changes anything, mine is currently from Oct 28th 2008. The day the G1 was first released. Can't even read the numbers anymore. But to my knowledge the cards haven't changed. Guess I'll see if this fixes the issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joshld:
I get real sluggish results from my g2x, my nexus one ran fine...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
That is the way it is designed. When you have WiFi on, it disables your Cellular data to save power. Hence why the 4G icon disappears.

When you disable WiFi, it has to reenable the Cellular Data. So it takes a sec.

Now if it NEVER comes back then there is a problem. But don't expect it to be instantaneous.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joshreis:
When I have wifi on, the 4g icon still comes on and off constantly. When wifi is off, 4g icon still blinks on then off constantly. Still don't have any data. New sim card didn't help either. I go through a battery in about 4 hours because its constantly connecting and disconnecting to the network.

LG sucks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DebauchedSloth:
I'm pretty much convinced this is related to Wifi calling. Try disabling that (this will also help your battery life something serious - take a look at devices logs when wifi calling is enabled.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lobsterhead:
When I upgraded my G1 to my G2x, they said they had to give me a new SIM card because the old one won't do 4G. According to the sales person I spoke with, you will need a new SIM card.
