Service can repair but its a chargeable job as warranty is void .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Blaming it on KIES is your only hope of getting it repaired for free.

if they sniff out a tiny piece of customisation, they will charge or refuse.

there are such tools to fix the device, but only samsung (and really smart devs) have them... so i wouldnt look into making one, its easier to send it off for repair.

chances are, they will realise phone is f**ked, realise how upset and truth telling you are, feel sorry for you, plug it in to the super computer and KAPOW !!! its fixed.

keep fingers crossed and good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 94kram01:
aight, anyway, thanks for the help!

I'm hoping that they will do it for free, or at least cheap. Maybe I have a good chance, because the rom flash was successful, which means it has the the base, original 2.3.3 on it now, hopefully. Erhm, time to get a friend at Samsung :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
2.3.3 is not available thru kies for all yet. so you may dig yourself a hole if you say its got 2.3.3 on it.

just say kies found an update, you dont know what build it was, you clicked update and phone powered off and never came back on
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Yeah Act dumb just like a Nokia user you where updating through Kies and it failed to reboot .

Do not mention Roms Custom or XDA .

Ask daft questions like is it the sim card if they question you .

Act poor wear your old clothes .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin Dobell:
There are a lot of people who responded here who don't really know what they're talking about.

If it's only your secondary bootloader that's corrupt then you can use a custom jig to boot your phone. The reason for this is that your phone keeps a backup secondary bootloader. Although Heimdall does allow you to flash over the backup secondary bootloader I intentionally didn't include the option in the user interface (in order to try prevent permanent bricks). Anyway, using a custom jig causes the primary bootloader to hand over to the backup secondary bootloader and not the one you corrupted. As such as long as the primary bootloader you flashed is actually designed for your phone then a custom jig is all that is required.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 94kram01:
Thank you! But the thing is, that I did not use the UI (frontend), but the command line of Heimdall only. It looked like:

heimdall flash --kernel zImage [...] --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot boot.bin [...]

And here's the point, secondary-boot should've been sbl.bin if I'm right. So what do you think, will a JIG help it, or not? And could you name a specific JIG which is good, and working for sure? Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin Dobell:
That's fine, as long as you didn't include:

then it should be fine.

I can't recommend a particular jig because I just build them myself if I need them. It's fairly straightforward to build one yourself but any one of eBay should be fine also.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwantenmechaniker:
concerning the custom jig mentioned by benjamin: i used this method to unbrick my galaxy, after i bricked it on the very first day i had it :)

since this uses some playing around until you hit the right pins, you could also actually build a custom jig to do this, if you're not afraid of doing some soldering.

in both cases, the phone should be forced into download mode, then you can mess around with odin/heimdall again.

this is a failsafe built in by samsung, making use of the otherwise unused 5th pin in the micro-usb specification (thanks a lot to samsung for this :D)

don't be afraid, it won't damage your device since it should be off when you do this. if it works, you won't be forced to tell lies to the samsung service center :p

greetings,

kwantenmechaniker
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leizureman:
Wow, sweet safety-features there. Nice to see the devs thinking of us flashers. :) I guess we also can be thankful that samsung has this type of double bootloader backup-system...

Oh and if all else fails: Just dress poor..

:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 94kram01:
Well, cool feature. I dont want to be looking smart-ass, but I had thought there would be such a feature (double backup stuff), since in nowadays computers, it's the same situation with BIOS. At least, hopefully. :D Anyway, I happened to have a friend who has a friend whose friend works at Samsung (hahah me wins), so I used my connection up :D But as soon as my phone gets home, I'll try these methods. By the way, do you think guys, it would work on Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700 ?:D I'm really into this subject now, and would try it.

feel free to try. worst thing that can happen is that it doesn't work ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
Hi there.

As per the title says, how do I actually check what md5 sum i am using? I am aware that different ROM requires a different md5 but am not sure what is this actually for.

If i found that my current md5 is not the matching one, I flash it through using CWM right?

Thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopscotchjunkie:
md5 sum is a method to check that a file has been downloaded correctly; each file has a calculated md5 value provided by the person supplying the file, you can then calculate the md5 for the file you received, and if they match you know the file is correct. That's a pretty shoddy explanation, but you can get a better one by googling or on Wikipedia.

Long story short, it's not something that you use or flash as part of your ROM.

//sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk; all errors entirely intentional.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
LOL! okok now i got it. sorry that I am not "fluent" in this area. asking such a dumb question. xD

Thanks man!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Click the link in my sig and head to tools. There is an MD5 generator/checker there. Very quick & simple to use.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoomantk:
hey everybody

how do i can check md5 through better terminal in DHD ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IanD91:
Ive been having problems flashing ARHD succesfully, ive done a superwipe several times and retried and Cant think of anything else I may be doing wrong, so I figure the MD5 Sum is wrong or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ben_pyett:
It's also probably easier to know that Most graphical file manager applications such as ES file explorer (free) and root explorer, have an md5 option within file properties

Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slab100:
also, if you download directly to your device there is a free app on the market called "MD5CHECKER" which works well.

always check before flashing!

[Epic 4G General] inimitableac:
So I goto Louisiana Tech University in Ruston LA. I've had my epic since october but this past weekend my friend got an Evo Shift and started getting 4G and now I am too. Is there some secret rollout we know nothing about or am I just behind?
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
Half way between lafayette and new orleans still no 4g :(
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
Clear is adding towers to new areas either as test markets or to keep licenses as some have said. Look at clear's coverage maps, chances are most small towns around you have at least one clear tower. In Oklahoma 4g coverage began popping up at the beginning of the year.

What's pretty interesting is Billings, Montana has 4g coverage on clear's map while native sprint coverage of any kind can't be found for hundreds of miles (it's roaming 1x area on sprints map).
[Epic 4G General] dwyw42:
4g in Ruston but not in Baton Rouge or New Orleans? Who do I send my strongly worded letter to?

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
There could be a tower in br and no just not east along 90 the 3g is weak here too
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Look at clear.com coverage maps. 4g coverage in Lake Charles, Fort Polk, Lafayette, New Orleans, Slidell, Baton Rouge, Monroe, Ruston, Hammond, Shreveport and Baker. Of course they are single towers in most places.
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
Just read this thread and quickly turned on my 4G radio... and denied. Le sigh. So still no 4G in Metairie/New Orleans metro area. Had my hopes up for a moment.

I still don't get how T-mobile and Verizon can have their LTE networks here and many other cities, but WiMax is just a myth in many major cities this far after initial roll out. If it wasn't for the cheaper plan rates, I probably would've jumped ship a while ago.
[Epic 4G General] 56789:
Clear's map isn't quite accurate either. I get no 4g signal whatsoever in New Orleans outside on the street within the coverage area.

Also: Clear, Houma? WTF?
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
Nope not in houma morgan city either
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
You have to be closer to the tower than the maps show. Our devices suck compared to the coverage the clear devices have.
[Epic 4G General] 56789:
Clear.com would have be believe that Houma was built entirely out of 4G.

Bastards.

Maybe once this semester is over I'll go wander around New Orleans and try and map out the 4G areas.
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
I haven't tested in houma in forever it might be up that's where my sprint store is
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Check the Sensorly app. It has some of the 4g mapped out.
[Epic 4G General] rockrerun:
NICE!

Clear.com said that my area (Grand Junction, CO) had 4G, but I've never been able to connect. I did the 4G signal tweak, and now it works great! I figured it would be years before GJ got 4G considering we just got 3g a few years ago. This is a pleasant surprise!
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
There's an app on the market called got clear it uses ur location and tells u if u got 4g. Look it up its a great app

i want to replace my stock recovery with the red cwm 3.x voodoo recovery

can i do this just by using root explorer and replacing the recovery file in

/system/bin

i want to do it this way because i am having problems with odin and my laptop i believe my usb ports are going bad because odin always fails before finishing and i then have to use a different pc to get the phone out of DL mode the even bigger problem is i don't always have another pc to use which sometimes leaves me with out a phone for hrs

my phone is already running a rooted stock 2.2 Rom i want to get custom Roms running thanks for the help guys
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopper the dog:
Running a custom rom/kernel is not the best idea when you don't have a functioning odin set-up. But an answer to your question is no. When you flash cwm in odin it is flashing the recovery partition of the kernel which is not accessible from root explorer. And no terminal emulator will not work.

good day.

Try charging to full and then wiping the battery stats. Probably won't help but it's worth a shot. Flashing a lot can confuse the battery and wiping the stats after a bunch of flashes can help regain some of the batteries lost performance due to this confusion.

I agree I was gonna post the same thing. After 1.83 and gingerbreak i get about twice as battery. I am using the same apps as I was using before. I never got over 24 hours on Atrix before but now I get 24 hours easily with pretty heavy usage. I play with is most of the time. Checking XDA every 15 20 minutes etc. This 1.83 has definately done some battery improvements to my phone. I do not mind the stock firmware now. I just have two mods, rooted and a pretty decent Blue theme.
