odin is the samsung program we use to program the phones with whatever-the-hell we want!

a jig puts you into download mode (this jig for samsung only) download mode is what you need to be in for keis or odin to flash your phone

Look up instructions for Heimdall.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1tontomato:
Heimdall doesnt work on a mac until you update the boot loaders to the offical 2.2. Personally I think its crap and you still need a windows machine. Your better off just searching thru the development forum and flashing something cooked in there. There is a lot of really stable stuff in there as long as your not chasing the absolute latest and greatest. I have a mac and have been down all the roads. If your dead set on flashing official firmware parellels and virtual box do not work, you need a windows machine or you can use windows in boot camp on a mac.

yeah ive been using things from the developers forums for a while, and they always seem to be buggy, i would just like to use the official one for a while. I guess i will just have to do it on a friends pc.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allmaechtig:
If you use virtual box and have it running windows then you can do an offical update on what ever computer you want... virtual box is free and all you have to have the the iso of the OS that you want. Virtual Box runs on windows mac and linux. So with that knowledge everyone should be able to work and flash any rom on any computer

Good Luck

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmatang:
Hey guys,

I'm new to the forum. I have tried running a search for this problem already and haven't found anything related.

My phone randomly switches off and requires a battery pull to be turned back on again (Yes the conventional button pressing and power button pressing etc doesn't work). I haven't had the phone switch off on me whilst using it, it usually happens when I pick up my phone to check for messages etc. and realise it's not on.

I have a Desire Z running Virtuous 1.0.2 with the Advanced kernel.

The SetCPU screen off profile is 245/691 on 'interactive'.

Anybody have any ideas as to what may be the cause?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DurbanPoison24:
Same thing happens to me sometimes but it usually happens when I'm charging maybe its the battery. Have you noticed any unusual drain on your battery?

Ps. I know very little about phones and what not but I know that your battery could be over charged therefore your phone does what it does. Just a bit of guess.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
This has been called "SOD" (screen of death) by some. Probably not related to CPU clocking/stepping, like the more common "screen wake issue" on Virtuous, as the symptoms are pretty different in my experience. As you already mentioned, with the CPU clocking/stepping "screen wake" issue (common on Virtuous if you use the advanced kernel), you can power on the screen with multiple pushes of the power button, or opening the keyboard. With SOD, no amount of button pushing does anything, and the phone is completely unresponsive.

Several theories abound as to the cause of SODs, but nothing conclusive, unfortunately. Likely a hardware problem, possibly combined with kernel and/or GPS.

Personally, I've found that going back to my stock shipped ROM and using the Godspeed kernel is the only combination I've tried so far (including Virtuous and CM7) that seems totally free of SODs. But your results may vary.

Any evidence of this issue when you were on the stock ROM? If not, you might consider just reverting back (easy if you made a nandroid). If the problem persists on the stock ROM, and you are still on warranty, you might consider returning your phone to stock and sending it in for repair, as this seems the surest way to solve the issue. This isn't an option for me, since I purchased mine with no warranty (unlocked and imported). Otherwise, you might try different ROM and kernel combinations to see if things improve.

I've discussed this some more on the following similar recent thread (links to additional related threads on that post):

Thanks for shedding some light on this issue for me. I'll have a try doing what you suggested and see if it's any better.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Dammit, I hit the Thanks button instead of Quote. Oh well, you get a free Thanks!

BTW, feel free to Thank my post, if you found it helpful!

At least one person I've suggested a different kernel to (to try to solve this issue), did not find it helpful. But it helped in my case. And you can do a nandroid backup to make sure the change is completely and easily reversible if you don't like the result.
[Nexus S General] kurtsbleached:
Hey guys. First time posting because I couldn't find what I was looking for. I only found one thread asking about this specific phone but the answer didn't really cover the rooting process. I'm in South Korea in the Army and this was the phone I chose before doing a ton of research.

My question is: Which procedures will I follow to root and unlock the bootloader for this phone? Is there an American/European version that I can treat it like? I'm mostly trying to get HD video recording with a custom ROM, but I want to over/underclock as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Bobby
[Nexus S General] xceleration:
I'm not sure how the Korean versions differ, but from what I read, I think the Nexus S is not capable of recording true HD video due to hardware limitations? Correct me if I'm wrong.

From what I've read it's a ROM restriction, but that's not the only reason I want it rooted.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elleuh:
hi,

i've got a Htc desire HD.

i've tried many diffrent roms and played with it a bit,

but now i got some serious trouble.

i just installed the ultimate droid rom to check it out,

but then my power button stopt working.

It did once before but i got it fixed with a factory reset so i tried that now and it worked for like 2 seconds and so i pulled out the battery to reboot. but then it got in to a bootloop, so that sucked.

then i thought i just install the rom again through the hboot but the biggest one is that when it searches for the PD98IMG.zip it doesnt find it...

soooo.... what i'm a gonna do now?

i've tried to find a way to install a rom through adb but ofcourse adb can't find my device...

any ideas anyone?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
You cannot flash PD98IMG.zip in recovery, you have to do it in hboot. If the device does not recognize the PD98IMG, then format your SD card again to FAT32 with full format (no quick format). You can also try another SD.

You can always get an anti-glare matte screen protector. I yave one on all my devices, my G2, my Xoom, my EVO. That is the first accessory that I buy.

Of course, I'm assuming you're exaggerating about ditching the phone entirely for that one property, lol.

Performance+Features > Glareless display
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouvax:
Performance + feaures = screen

if you cant see it in the outside what would you do with features.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EinPaul:
That's why there's voice control. :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkym0nkey:
Glare is there on Nexus S (not extremely bad though ) even with Oleophobic coating.

Thats not the advantage of the coating though, and glare is not a big deal if display is bright enough.(read AMOLED) You can always tilt it a bit away from light to get the read from the screen.

Problem is smudges. Those oily messy smudges makes it harder to see even if you tilt it away or in the shadow of your hands in bridght sunlight as light refracts and reflects in all directions thanks to smudges.

With coating and reduced smudges, its easier to see. But it does come at a cost.

The Gorilla glass might be scratch resistant, but if there is this coating on that top of it, it will develop micro scratches as this coating gets scraped off if you nick your screen with something sharp. Plain Gorilla glass would fare better in such cases. So its win some, loose some situation. I doubt there will be any coating on the Gorilla glass. If its there, I would be very surprised as it takes away the advantage of Gorilla Glass.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] open1your1eyes0:
I can honestly say that the standard for smartphone displays is decent enough that I definitly have a couple of priorities above the display that I wouldn't care how good the display is, if doesn't meet those priorities first, I don't want it. Key being carrier, cpu, ram, battery life, size/weight, brand/UI, then the display itself. Like I said, the standard for smartphones is good enough that it's not as important for me as long as a matte screen protector exists for the device (which is pretty much every smartphone). I have yet to meet a modern device display that I cannot tolerate under all conditions. And maybe its just me but I rarely find myself walking under direct sunlight. And even when I do, I try to avoid it (not because of my phone, just I have no joy in it XD).

Just my 2¢
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
I agree, I think no matter what, I will be putting a screen protector on it. A company called "ScratchGuard" makes one that resists Oil and Fingerprints, maybe that might be the route, although it does reduce some of the screen's clarity.

I have to. Cant take chances, I took one with Nexus S thanks to Oleophobic coating and kinda regretting it. I use lots of jeans. Many of them have those metal buttons / studs near pocket. I scratched my Nexus S a bit while taking it out of pocket when it scratched against that. Thankfully it was a micro scratch at the bottom and not on viewable area.

Uhm, and how can a screen protector ruin a phone? :P

Even if the phone features a gorilla glass, it doesn't guarantee it from being scratch-proof.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JupiterDroid:
A screen protector will totally negate the oleophobic coating so i would not advise that, also the chemicals used to stick a screen protector on it might create holes in the oleophobic coating which will mean you will need a screen protector for life (we saw this many times in the nexus s section)

My advice is,

1. DO NOT use any screen protector at all!

2. buy a protective sock to put your phone into

3. ALWAYS leave it in a pocket that has nothing else but the phone in, inside its protective sock

4. NEVER clean the phone with any sort of polish or chemicals, always just clean it with a dry cloth

If you do these three things you will have a wonderful "as new" phone for the duration of your time with the SGSII ;))

Well had my phone for a few weeks now and to much shock and horror the Oleophobic coating seems to have worn off on the section of screen that rubs up against the inside of my jeans, the only reason I can think of this happening is because of the heat.

Ok I am sure we all know that vol down + power is hboot.

However, as I always forget which volume it is for bootloader, I end up pressing up + power and this is a mode where the phone vibrates 3 times and then sits flashing with an orange light. This is detected by windows and tries to install a driver.

Edit: Detected as "Android 1.0" And listed in device manager as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" Just trying to install a driver to see what I can find out.

Then, I was reading about the SD card formatting bricks and there was talk of a secret second recovery bootloader, accessible by a special cable, or by a key combination.

So I tried both volume buttons and power and it goes to a black screen with a solid green light.

Are either of these modes anything useful or are they already known about and do nothing?
