[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Thanks Sergi, I didn't see that bit.

I agree, if you can't get to HBoot (hold down vol- and press power button) then it looks like it is bricked. But that would mean he used an older version of clockwork recovery and I don't know where it says to use an older version.

Summary: Bricked. Send away for repair. Just don't tell them what you were doing.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prodelin:
Can't he JTAG the unit and flash NAND that way?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimbawi90:
hi XDA members ..

am kinda new on this stuff "noob".

i bought my sgs (GT I9000) from KSA with (and am not sure) I9000JPJG8 frimware.

the whole story is that i tried to upgrade to froyo but the process didn't when well and odin was stuck. so i ignorantly pulled the usb out, and had that phone->attention-> pc sign. but i was able to get to download mode. later i noticed that i used a I9000M froyo firmware.

anyway, i read through threads about semi-bricked sgs and found that i must reflash again my stock firmware, and that's what i did.

the odin flash is successful and the phone shows the galaxy s startup screen and then that loading sign and the loop starts ( loading sign appears - disappears -appear again ..etc) i pulled out the battery and powered it on to have a Galaxy s startup screen loop also.

i can't get to recovery mode, and here the names of the firmware i used to flash:

I9000JPJG8

I9000JPJPG

I9000JVJPF

I9000UGJH2

i need the firmware to have arabic support so that's why those above where my choices, but i wouldn't mind losing arabic for z sake of my new sgs:(

sorry if my english is bad

suggestions???!! and thanx in advance :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
have you been flashing these firmwares with PIT file ??

i think thats whats needed,

try to flash stock eclair 2.2 or froyo 2.2.1 with all 3 files and 512 pit.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimbawi90:
i tried all .pit files to no avail...

and what do u mean by eclair 2.2 , isn't it 2.1 ??! and do u mean pit512 , 513 , 803 by the 3 files or what?

thx for replying :)

edit:

do u recommend certain odin version because i don't know which to use exactly ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
yea sorry i mean eclair 2.1

whenever i have trouble like you, i flash JM1 in all 3 files (phone pda csc ) and 512 pit, with the repartition box in odin checked.

works a treat everytime :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimbawi90:
i tried it but it stopped in z middle and odin said (FAIL)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
have you made sure KIES is closed, even in the icon tray ??

Are you using odin 1.7 ??

also try to connect your phone direct to the motherboard

if it still fails, post me a screenshot of what odin looks like before you press start
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimbawi90:
oh my .. kies was closed in icon tray but there were some kies related stuff running when i opened the tasked manager. but unfortnately nothing happened , same things are still there.

here z pic , doing the method u mentioned before

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
right the problem is you are using a firmware compressed into 1 .tar file

remove the pit file - uncheck re partition

remove phone

remove CSC

all you want is OJP_JG9.tar loaded into PDA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimbawi90:
A MAJOR UPDATE ..

while waiting for replies i tried this method in this post using eugene froyo :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10498057&postcount=14

suprisingly my phone now changed to vibrant on start-up and has z following :

froyo 2.2

baseband T959UVJK2

kernel 2.6.32.9

now that it is alive .. can i shift to z froyo 2.2 with arabic support or do u suggest that i stick to it ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimbawi90:
i think i'll change since everything is messed up ..

vol. buttons are reversed .. music is not played through speaker unless head-phones are used .. numerous apps crashing ..

man am soo confused
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
you have flashed samsung vibrant on your samsung galaxy

that is why you have these problems !

did you download a GALAXY I9000 ROM ?? if not do so now.

Flash it in odin.

If it comes in 3 files (PDA, Phone, CSC) add 512 PIT and select re-partition

If it comes in 1 .tar file. Load it into PDA and DO NOT USE PIT OR REPARTITION

hit start and done, its so simple.

you really ought to read instructions before you go flashing ROMs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimbawi90:
i really did but it looks like i didn't pay attention to GT I9000/M thing ..

ok thanx for z help and i'll reply back when done with z ROM

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
can you boot into recovery ? if so do a full factory reset and try again. and try to flash a rom in recovery (if you have 2e)

i have no idea why the phone powers off with usb.

does it do this in download mode too ??

did you flash a stock rom ?? if so what rom did you choose
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimbawi90:
i flashed eugene froyo

should i use I9000 method or vibrant method for recovery ??

i got into recovery when i flshed the vibrant rom back then .. :s

edit: a question , have i lost z root thing when i flashed the vibrant or not ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmerX:
first of all enter download mode . Try this method ( press home and volume down and insert the usb conected at pc ) , and flash darky resurection 9.2 or ezrom 2.2.1 , i think both have bootloaders , I prefer ezrom ( saved my phone after CM7 or miui )
[XPERIA X10 General] dave2:
Just got a Samsung Galaxy S2.

Extremely fast phone! Not too keen on Sammy's Touch Wiz UI but I'm sure there is/will be a ROM without it in the S2 thread (?). I'll look.

Just thought I'd let you know that a loyal user of these great dev's work is moving on :') Thanks for making my time with my X10 bearable.

Enjoy your gingerbread, and the completed custom kernel when it comes :D

FYI: Just got a score of 3360 on Quadrant on the Galaxy S2 *multiple faints*

[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
I have the question regarding Triangulation.

Previously my phone was catching my location based on triangulation of antennas even when GPS was not ready and still searching for satellites.

Now when I hit MyLocation it always says unavailable until it gets GPS signal.

Strange enough my feature phone SE Cedar almost immediately gets the location (different carrier though).

What can be reason?
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
Check you location settings in the settings menu... That might be the problem?
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
Well just read my post.

In location settings you have only GPS and WiFi.

As I wrote previously the phone was getting the Location BEFORE GPS kicked in,

now it doesn't work and why - this is my question.

Why would you do that to yourself?

HTC is light years ahead of Samsung when it comes to cell phones.. I've kept my inspire STOCK as its ten times better than a hacked Samsung.
[HTC Inspire 4G] born_fisherman:
If within the 30days of original purchase, then you can do a swap out (buyers remorse period). After 30 days you need to go through the Warranty department - It is very difficult to get a swap for a different Make/model phone - especially when a phone first comes out - They usually don't have the "full kit" available for make/model swap outs..

Your other choices are to pay off contract values, or early upgrade (if they let you).

The captivate was enough to make me wince at the infuse, but a gs2 would be mighty nice. The sensation looks sensational, but don't know if it will include ATT's 3g bands.

[HTC Inspire 4G] entropism:
To be fair, the Epic had issues that the GSM versions of the Galaxy S didn't have. That being said, I was given the Epic for free when I worked for Sprint, and quickly ditched it for an EVO.

The only way I'd go to Samsung again would possibly be the GS2, but only if the new HTCs (EVO2, Sensation, etc) have unlocked bootloaders. Seems like Samsung and LG are the only companies supporting the devs these days.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stealthsal:
I had the captive . Then got the Droid x . And now i got the Inspire. BEST PHONE I EVER HAD !!! If in the future i change again . It will be for and HTC phone . Samsung felt like cheap plastic and belive me it was not cheap unlocked on eBay . Motorola has awfull custumer service never again will i touch a Motorola phone . HTC if you have a problem with battery , or covers. They will change them in a blink of an eye no question asked. Plus so many roms to choose from .

[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
Why would anyone get rid of their Inspire for the Crapsung? Has anyone seen how you're supposed to remove the SD card? Pocketnow or Android Central said put in a 32GB card and leave it alone. Compared to HTC, I hate the cheap and overly plastic feel of their phones. 4.5" is way too big of a display, 4.3" is the perfect size for a big display. I'm sticking with my Inspire until AT&T gets a rebranded HTC Sensation or new HTC device with similar specs. Trading Sense for Douchefizz is just plain retarded.
[HTC Inspire 4G] djzikario:
Taking bout HTC vs Samsung, should I trade (for free) my inspire for a galaxy tab? Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] neurodave:
I prefer the Sense UI, over any other companies user interface. Plus, the specs don't warrant a phone change. There's nothing amazing about it that would make me want to give up my Inspire!

i had an Aria, but signal was terrible where i lived. i got the captivate, signal was good, but i found myself modding it to look exactly like sense. Then i went to the inspire and am not looking back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pheno.menon:
Not me. HTC > Samsung any day. The Galaxy S II is the only phone from them that looks good, but they'd have to re-establish a good track record of updates and support before I even think about getting one. Besides, I'm sure HTC's answer to the Galaxy S II is going to be even better.

I gave my rooted Capitivate to my wife and got me an Inspire 4g. And now, whenever I have to use my wife's phone, I feel as I have gone back in technology (I feel the same way when I use older versions of Windows) trying to navigate the TouchWiz. Even though I miss the high contrast screen and slick styling, I would never go back to Samsung.
[HTC Inspire 4G] alephnaut:
Yep, fortunately the 15th falls within the 30 day buyer's remorse window (upgraded from a captivate less than a month ago)! I like the inspire but the front-facing camera and super amoled screen clinch it for me. HTC Sense is much superior to TouchWiz IMHO but I've wanted a front-facing camera for a long time.

The other thing that bothers me about the Inspire is that the dual LED flash takes terrible indoor closeup shots. A lot of the shots I take with it are basically worthless because the light is so bright it oversaturates all the faces. I've even had people untag photos (indoor closeup shots) because they were so bad! HTC really should provide a way to toggle between single and dual flash for camera shots...
[HTC Inspire 4G] knarfl1:
While the Infuse is intriguing, I'm more interested in the GSII (already rooted.) I'm going to be very tempted when it arrives in US.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gflare:
I'm another disappointed Samsung Captivate customer that ended up exchanging for an Inspire, and I've got to say; I'll never buy a Samsung phone again as long as HTC has quality offerings.

I loved, absolutely loved, the AMOLED screen and tweaked applications (Calendar, clock/alarms, contacts, etc). But the Touchwiz launcher was horrid, and the hardware just didn't work as advertised. You should never be forced to change the file structure just to use your phone lag-free.

Save yourself a few headaches and bad experiences, and stay away from Samsung phones for another year or so.

I have GPS turned on in settings; and google maps also has the indicator in notification widow that it is searching for gps; which never seems successful. no clue how to have google maps indicate number of sat.

Hum. Going outside seemed to fix the issue. The building I'm in has thin walls but maybe there is shielding or antenna issues. On the bright side wireless worked in the elevator.

On the mixed side the display is barely readable outside but functional for maps.
