[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omygod:
Sorry for the possible repost from other newbies but I really want to make sure I don't $%#& up my phone!!!

I bought a used i9000 and it currently has the following config:

Model: i9000M

Firmware: 2.2

Baseband: I9000XXJPK

Kernal: 2.6.32.9 shout.lee (at) SEP-09 #6

Build: FROYO.UGJL2

I was thinking of trying to put a newer Gingerbread ROM on it or another ROM that is recommened by users here that works really good. What are the key steps to knowing what rom will work on my phone? Do I upgrade the firmware along with the ROM for compatibility issues?

I have tried the tutorials with no luck, no only do they confuse my old a$$ lol, but I tried the ROM manger and clockwork recovery, but my phone always takes me to the samsung recovery instead.

Any help would be appreciated!!!!

Thanks Again!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leizureman:
The rom is the firmware sotospeak. Just leave CWM alone for now. I learned the basics by just flashing some stock roms using ODIN. CWM is fun, but it is a part of the kernels, which you don't need to mess with if you upgrade using ODIN.

Even though odin sounds scary, it's lot less complicated than trying to figure out where the clockwork goes in the rom. ;)

Suggest you read this guide: Good guide

It was the first guide which really made things more easy for me.. also I use odin3 v1.0 the guide calls for 1.7. can't vouch for 1.7.

Hello everyone,

Two days ago I try to make a firmware update to Gingerbread trough Kies.

After everything is finished the phone start, shows the main logo (the white one), start that animation with "S" and come on a black screen. Time to time he vibrate 2 or 3 times and only the back and menu buttons are illuminated.

1. Cannot use 3 buttons to get into download or recovery mode

2. Cannot put the phone in USB debugging (obviously)

3. For unknown reason I cannot instal ADB drivers (win7 shows the yellow triangle)

4. Samsung drivers are installed on Modem and USB (shows Samsung)

5. On "devices" , can be seen but again no ADB

6. ODIN see it on com8 but again for some reasons it wont work (probably because he work in download mode :D )

7. SDK is installed

8. ADB shows "no devices found"

9. No other button combination works (home+down , up+down +battery in + USB plugged ... etc)

Any suggestion/help ?

Thank you very much for reading and hopefully Ill get some help

Best regards,

Andrew
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qsec:
Have you tried "emergency reset" or whats it called in Kies?

Did you have the 3-button combo before the flash?

If so try to remove the battery and then with it removed press the combo and insert the battery-

Maybe you refer to that in number 8?

A JIG will for sure help you to get into download mode.

Good luck.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You in the UK .

Gingerbread no update via Kies its not released yet .

Kies has Firmware recovery or some such tab.

Was your phone lagfixed ..

Did your phone have custom rom .

Current condition of phone looks like you need download recovery jig from front page .

Or if no lagfix no custom rom then Samsung service centre failed Kies flash .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antraian:
Yes lag fixed OCLF

And Kies said something about firmware update. I do have Froyo 2.2 and the logical thing was Ginger so thats why i thought it is.

Thank you,

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

Never had any problems with lagfix, but i guess if you do things in the wrong order without removing it before upgrading.

OP, did you follow any instructions, or just do it blind?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

Your choice but failing to remove lagfix before flashing is a well posted problem on XDA .

It was stupid of me flashing with lag fix installed evendo I read that YOU MUST remove lagfix before do it ....

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Worse, you flashed without enabling 3 button combo prior. Due to that you're unable to get into download nor recovery mode unfortunately. So unless that emergency firmware option in Kies won't help you will have to build or buy yourself a jig dongle/cable which is plugged into the phone by USB to force download mode. Check on ebay UK, there are surely some people selling professionally built ones for just a few pounds (got one myself from US for just $7 or so).

Once you have that, re-flash with Odin.

And once your phone is OK again, get that 3 button combo working! :) I used this method successfully. Soft bricked the first time thanks to using USB hub instead of direct USB as it wasn't mentioned in the stickies sadly. Yet thanks to the Jig I got prior I tried again and flashed my phone to enable 3 button combo forever. :D

P.S.: there is something else very vital I came across recently and am glad I saw it in time: backup of the /efs folder which contains IMEI etc:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859914

(I hope that's mentioned in the stickies somwhere but if so I would have seen it unless I missed one)

After reading in these forums for hours before trying my very first flashing I might want to write a comprehensive guide...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDcallum:
Ok basically im a complete noob at all of this flashing and that.

Currently I have a Samsung Galaxy S locked on Orange which can enter the 3 button download mode. The firmware version is 2.2.1 and build BVJS4.

I want to flash to 2.3 (Gingerbread) and still keep the same imei etc. How do I flash it to that? I don't have a clue how to do it and need it in simple easy to understand steps to be honest.. cheers

Sorry if many already asked.

Soon after I received the gTab, I flashed the ROM to TnT 4.4, but just like stock ROM, can"t find my location in any apps, is there any other ways? like using USB/BT external GPS?

Also, does it happen to you that to turn the BT on makes your WIFI off? like they can't work together?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tedlogan42:
Vegan Ginger supports the network-based my location feature, so that's an option.

As far as bluetooth GPS, do a search. There are a number of threads about it, but the short answer is yes: it's pretty easy and works well. Combined with CoPilot (needed since you won't have data connection on the road), the Gtablet can become a really large GPS.

Found the Transformer at Target for $359.99! Use cupon code "TCA27BAR" at checkout for 10% off ;) Woot Woot! Ordered two of these bad-boys.

Deal info: The Transformer is already a pretty great deal in the world of Android tablets – you get the same 10.1" screen and dual core processor as its competitors, for the low price of just $399.99. But if that price point isn’t enough to get you to rush out and buy one, or you’d like some extra cash for that keyboard dock, you’re in luck – you can get it from Target for a cool $40 off by using the code TCA27BAR at checkout.The only problem is, the tablet isn’t exactly available – it’s still on back-order, so Target warns that it will begin shipping "in 2 to 4 weeks." Of course, shipping will set you back another $7.95, and you’ll still be paying taxes, so chances are you either won’t be saving too much off the original $400 price, or you’ll be paying more, whereas with Amazon you could forego both those additional costs. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn’t have any in stock yet either (in fact, it’s powered by Target as well), so the Target deal is probably the best one around at the moment.

Bonus: another 5% off by using the REDcard, if you’ve got one.

Please hit the "Thanks" button if you like this :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nebrando:
I just did this too, and was coming to post it, but you beat me to it.

The code does work!! It says estimated delivery is May 20-June 7. Hopefully it shows up sooner, but if not oh, well. With tax and shipping it was under $400. I can wait a few extra days to save $30-$40!!

So I just checked and on the page it doesn't say that my order is canceled but I too received the email saying my order got canceled, so what does that mean?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nebrando:
I just called Target and spoke to a Customer Service rep. She told me that her system shows my order as still valid. She stated that as far as she can tell, the cancellation is not true. She also mentioned that they are doing some system maintenance which could explain this in one of two ways:

1) The system maintenance generated the incorrect email.

2) The system maintenance has caused slow updating and the information about the cancellation hasn't been updated in her system yet.

She suggested that maybe I follow up tomorrow.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deedub334:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] rand4ll:
So like many of you I got the email. Talking to the customer service rep he told me my order is still valid and to be shipped from May 16th to May 30th, and I would still be charged the day they receive which will also be the same day they ship. He said to disregard the cancellation email as it must be a mistake if your order is still valid. He also said that all he can tell is that it shows 'sold out' and that they are 'on order'.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Pacifik:
Can't order from them anymore on the website, fyi. Some funny errors in product description.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] agentdax5:
Guys, check your order status on Target.com and make sure its still there.

Mine is now gone. I checked earlier when I first received the email and it was there.

Users on Slickdeals are reporting this too.

I'm really bummed out man. If I can't get one of these soon I may just get the Iconia Tab.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] G-Tab:
disappointed

I also placed my order for the TF yesterday and received the cancellation email from Target today. I called a few hours ago and was assured that the order was NOT canceled and that it was a system "glitch".

I just called again and was told by Target that their system is "down" and that the orders have indeed been canceled. I asked if they were going to reconcile the error with a gift card or coupon when the TF is available, but the customer service rep said that she couldn't do a thing until the system comes back up and that I should call back in 30 minutes.

If Target is not going to honor their sale price, this is going to suck!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] FrayAdjacent:
The question one has to ask before getting all butt-hurt about the orders being canceled...

Was the 10% off code for the Transformer specifically, or just for anything on Target.com?

The reason one should ask is that if the code is for anything on Target.com, then the issues people here have with their Transformer orders may have nothing at all to do with the discount code. Perhaps there is a bit of truth in some of what someone was told - that they are just having too many difficulties sourcing stock for the product. This of course is COMPLETELY feasible given the info we have around general availability.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Startover86:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] G-Tab:
Butt-hurt?

sigh... Do we always have to resort to name-calling?

My issue was never about "give me my tablet". One might consider that childish. Rather, one might be inclined to think that customer service could extend the sales offer, considering it was offered and subsequently retracted.

In my opinion, this could have been a simple matter of Target.com saying, "We're very sorry, we are not able to source the product at this time due to manufacturing delays. We'd be happy to extend the sales price for you when the product does arrive."
