It is very difficult to brick that phone but possible.

Try again and hold down the correct combo keys one at a time to get them in sequence:

1) volume down button

2) power key

3) home key

Then release!

Sometimes you have to do this several times to get it to go back into download mode.

You can also try starting your phone by pluging it into your PC and launching adb in a terminal, then issue command adb enter download.

Just in case it has to come to a vote, I am one of those people who likes the capacitive button notifications (cbn, its not bln: that would technically mean the entire screen backlight :-P It makes more sense but I guess I better call it bln even when its not using that software).

Every knows the advantage and disadvantages of having so no point talking about that. Of course if stability is at risk, then its better not having it.

If they are gone for good, can we hold a little service thing to say goodbye. Y'kno, a couple of speaches about the nice old times, handshaking and tack gifts to give it before it clears out its desk and leaves, never to be seen again...

Thanks for your help, but everytime I try that, the screen goes off and then again the Samsung Galaxy S blah blah black screen.

PS: I didn't applied the 3 combo lagfix or whatever is called before flashing the ROM. It's so weird that just when I pressed the ''Yes - Install buttom'' the phone just rebooted and got stuck right there. This has never happened using Clockworkmod. Oh well...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] march83:
out of interest (ie, this is not a feature request or a "when will xxx happen" post), what's the status of the FM radio? Is this something particularly nasty/difficult/impossible, or is it just down on the list of priorities?

Where would be the best place to look to see its current status, find out the hurdles and possibly contribute to it's implementation (if i'm able to)

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
That would mean that the whole screen is lit up by a backlight. But this is AMOLED, therefore there is no backlight for the screen. So technically BLN is still quasi-correct. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kar200:
If you never had download mode you probably never had it (makes sense?). I think the Jig is your last option and you cna buy it off ebay (although you will have to wait until it gets there).

How to make a JIG is fully explained as well I am sure you would know someone that knows someone that knows how to come up with on from the diagram.

As for the reboot, I believe it has been introduced when the devs stopped the need of an Odin kernel first. AFAIK the reboot does just that, it checks first your system and then flash the kernel then reboots and carries on with the flashing.

Good luck

Codworkx darknightly already fixed this issue. You can get the darknightly somwhere in here (in that past pages).

Only issue that I know of (I don't use it though but did test it quickly) is that you have to use it with the stock headset first and you cannot adjust the volume. Also the frequencies are not correct but you can get there.

I am sure these bugs will be fixed soon by the team.

At school we use an eduroam network and works without a glitch. I'm using the CM7 kernel, because now when the softkeys are fixed and supercurio has issued a new version of his app with the insertable kernel module there is really now need for me to use any custom kernel...

However in our network you have to give it the username and password (in the connection properties, the connection manager does not ask by itself, afaik), maybe switch to PEAP, but that's all. I didn't need to care about the certificate (although our school uses some self-signed ****...)

I forget the difference between display specs. Yes the light comes from the screen in AMOLED not from behind it.

Still, bln was the name given to the implementation used on a stock rom/kernal. Yeah the function is basically the same on both cm7 and stock (in theory) its the implementation that got the name.

Meh, that was meant to be the most minor detail from my post, designed for humour over anything else :-) bln is easier got most people.

There are 2 golden rules of firmware flashing..

1)-If you can't use the 3-button boot to get to recovery mode, DON'T DO this. Recovery mode will save you.

2)-If you have applied a "lagfix" - no matter which one it is - remove it before doing this. Lagfixes alter the file system. If you flash a new firmware that is expecting to see 'File system A' and you've changed it to 'File system B' then all hell can break loose. Remove the lagfix before flashing.

CM7 requires that you have 2.2 installed, not 2.1. So if you get it working again, take a look at this for tanking your phone with 2.2 before trying your luck again :P

This cannot be repeated often enough. And add download-mode to the list. I see a bunch of people (especially on reddit) who goes "wah wah wah I bricked my phone".

I've softbricked my phone at work messing around with things I shouldn't, and I've been able to get up and running again in 5 minutes, thanks to download mode.

Seriously: This cannot be repeated often enough.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Point one is absolutely, totally essential. If you buy an SGS with no three button combo, I wouldn't even mess with the so-called fix which seems to brick as many phones as it saves. Just come up with some other defect, fake one if you have to, and take it back to the store for another model. Truly, with no three button combo, there is no point.

Thankfully the second point about undoing lagfix, as far as I know, is not required when flashing to CM7. Since the install process pretty much sucks all the samsungness out and then pours in CM7 goodness, any lagfix isn't a problem. Still, if you are the type who brings your own pillowcases to hotels, it can't hurt you to remove the lagfix just in case.

No, it means that one of the Buildbots that create the nightlys buckled under the stress of users constantly demanding more, MORE, MORE and made the mistake of mixing a handful of bennies with half a liter of Jack while being defragged one night. The EMTs gave up after half an hour.

The other Buildbot is still getting over the trauma of finding it's comrade sprawled all over the server room in a pool of its own SCSI and hasn't been back at work yet. The counselor says to give it a few more days.

No wonder everyone is asking the same questions again and again, it's kind of hard seeing important posts.

Ummm....no.

Or to be more exact, this thread serves a community, therefore not all the posts you read will be rigidly on topic. I would say 99.9 percent of all the posts are either about CM7 or about previous posts made in this thread which I feel is a pretty good ratio.

However, not all the posts will be dry, precise "Ask a question get a solution" sort of posts. Some will just be people blowing off steam or enjoying themselves. Many of the regular posters here have gotten to know one another to a degree, so there are often in jokes flashing back and forth and general frivolity. However, remember that inside the jokes are often answers to questions and solid technical information.

If you are seeking a specific topic, search for it. If you post a question and get no answer, it is likely because no one knows the answer but go ahead and ask it again.

Spend a little more time participating in the forum and I think you will see the wisdom of what I have said, and why it really is counter productive for any newcomer to come in and start telling people how to post here. As you may have noticed, the devs are not shy about stating when they are unhappy about things...and they seem fine with the general tone and style of this thread which in my opinion provides a great deal of value for users.

### NEW EXPERIMENTAL BUILD ###

NO CHANGELOG, NO QUESTIONS, NO SUPPORT, NO BUG REPORTS!

Download: update-cm-7-05282011-NIGHTLY-GalaxyS-signed.zip

Don't flash the old radio zips, this will break baseband.

Don't flash custom kernels to this build.

Should work for users which had RIL problems on builds 12,13,14.

Compatible radios:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
To quote the devs (and most everyone else in this thread)...."If you have to ask that, it isn't for you..."

There are still some issues and lingering questions that are being worked on because this is CM7, it will always be changing and expanding. Nightly builds will always be a little unstable, often a LOT unstable.

If you can't handle that, or if by Daily Use you mean always working perfectly, guaranteed...then stick with a Samsung ROM.
