I think that was very well put. You weren't being rude but you are being honest. To the OP, were not here to be at your beck and call. Help yourself and then you will get lots of help in return.

I cant agree more wholeheartedly. Before I rooted my old g1. I made sure I read everything. How to root, remove root and return to stock. I read everything again until I was confident I could do it. Part of the fun of learning something like this is learning how to fix your mistakes. Comments like "help me I can't do it" only irritates people.

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

This might seem crazy (or at least contrary). I used the kies registry hack in november to upgrade my galaxy S to froyo from an orange branded 2.1 firmware.

I am looking to revert back to the orange 2.1 firmware, and I'm having no luck with a combination of registry hacking and odin flashing.

The long and the short of it is:

Does anyone have the Orange UK branded rom,

I think I am looking for something like PDA:I9000 BVJS4 PHONE: I9000 BVJP4 CSC: I9000 ORAJS4, or more specifically just the orajs4 csc so I can flash it.

I have found a similar one on samfirmware.com, but it is french and some apps are a little funny.

Can anyone help me?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joey2cool2007:
carrier specific firmwares dont tend to exist unless they were copied from when the phoen was released, and are therefore hard to come by! Can I ask why you want to revert to 2.1?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCOGW:
I think the one you are searching for is:

I9000BVJP8/I9000ORAJP8/I9000BVJP3/I9000BVJP8

Using (unpatched/unspoofed KIES) this will offer:

PDA: JS4

PHONE: JP4

CSC: JS4

[Streak 5 General] peterson65:
i have 345 on a locked att streak, is there any real reason to flash to 351 or 354 (any improvements over 345) or wait till dj steve comes out with something new. i have looked through many posts about 351 and 354 but no clean post on the fixes if any.

thanks
[Streak 5 General] mikeinessex:
ate im running steves 1.9 and it runs fine, specially with perfmod, thats my recommendation anyway lol
[Streak 5 General] BlueCrystal:
354 seemingly fixes some internet issues, but it's a chinese rom. I dunno if anybody has modded it to make english the main language for everything or not.
[Streak 5 General] peterson65:
thats the only reason i have not tried 354 yet (chinese), so 351 has internet issues?
[Streak 5 General] altugk:
I am using 354 and for me it us by far better than any other official roms I tried (318,345,351)

After flashing it booted with chinese default. I changed it to english and the keyboard to swype. I did not see anything in chineese. It does not have some of those unecessary stuff like pageonce, evernote etc and has the old stage.

I am using it with launcher pro.

I also get much better battery life.

In summary, I strongly recommend.
[Desire HD General] n_soufiani:
Hi everyone

I have a very silly question to ask.

I have rooted my phone and gone through the process of S-Off etc...

I am trying to get sense 3.0 on my DHD now.

a message on the forum with the sense 3.0 rom mentions that:

"Flashing this rom, you need to enter recovery and fully wipe, DO NOT WIPE FROM ROM MANAGER, IT IS BUGGED, PLEASE REPORT TO CLOCKWORKMOD THAT WIPING FROM ROM MANAGER DOESNT WORK

Weather do not update due server error by HTC"

I have no idea what this means and there doesn't seem to be a step by step video for this as there was for the rooting process. Can someone please kindly tell me in simple steps on what I must do. I can't wait to learn about this!

Thank you in advance for your time.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rborg:
So I was running the may 5 nscollab for a few days and experienced a lot of reboots, then eventually boot loops or whatever we call the reboot leaving you with backlights on and black screen. I usually pulled the battery and things were fine for a while. I was not over clocking or using bln. The last time, about a week ago, my 9020t couldn't reboot. I was able to get in to recovery, but cwr was unable to mount any partitions but /cache. All wipes failed, and so did permission fix because of this.

Next, I fired up adb. No problem there. Started fastboot and locked then unlocked but the problem remained. So I tried flashing IMgs from a stock recovery. Recovery.img worked fine. System, boot failed after 30 seconds with write errors. I also got an error on the fastboot screen that two addresses were exceeded. I didn't write them down as I don't know that they are important, having googled these.

Next came Odin with a 2.3.1 set of tars for 9020. It hung trying to flash system.img. I tried a few times with the same results.

Last, I checked what was up with adb shell. I found out I can manually mount /dev/block/mmcblk1 as /sdcard and could read and write to it. I pushed a rom zip and flashed it using cwr with no errors, but on reboot I saw it was nothing but the recovery.

Any ideas. It seems the other partitions are not mounting. Can't I just wipe everything and repartition then flash with Odin? I don't know why Odin didn't work. Do I need a pic file for the nexus s? Bah! It is frustrating that a brick is not a brick.

Really, any ideas? Sucks to have a 600 dollar phone that spontaneously combusted like this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rborg:
it seems i am missing /dev/block/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/by-name/system

and /dev/block/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/by-name/userdata

so they wont mount. Also, the mtdblock files in /dev/block aren't even listed in fstab. is there any way i can wipe this base system? Odin won't do it. Nothing I have tried can overwrite whatever is royally messed up in the filesystem. It seems that even for any recovery to work properly, the mounts must be correct!!!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
Unfortunately, sometimes as a brick is a brick. I have similar symtoms as you - I cannot mount /system and cannot get past the google splash screen. I cannot write or read to storage.

How much for the instructions to do this? We have a device at work that the EEs use to jtag TI micro-controllers. Not sure if that would work. If Samsung gets all crazy and tries to charge me ridiculous amounts of money I may go your route.

[HD Mini General] Roy_S:
Does anyone use their HD mini to download email from Virginmedia.

I've used the POP settings with no problems but wanted to be able to reply to email from the HTC as well so changed the setting to use IMAP.

Incoming server has to be set to imap.ntlworld.com as using imap.virginmedia.com does not connect, account type is set to IMPA4.

Outgoing is smtp.virginmedia.com and advanced SSL for both in & out are un-ticked.

Advanced settings are to delete the messages off the server when deleting on the HTC.

So with all the above set I can receive/reply etc but if I delete an email on the HTC I can see it gone from the Virginmedia online inbox but it still downloads onto my laptop running Outlook....?

I've set the VM mail box settings to enable IMAP but just can't figure out a way to stop email I deleted on the HTC from appearing on the laptop.

Anyone got this working properly?
[HD Mini General] Roy_S:
Fixed......

Not a problem with the HTC just Virginmedia side really, in fact probably more down to the way IMAP works.

Deleted emails are not in fact deleted on the server just the label is changed to deleted. So the PC downloading using POP will see everything as a new email unless permanently deleted.

I changed everything to IMAP but didn't like the way it worked so have now changed everything back where I have more control of how the emails are handled.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jeffcrilly:
Anyone have any insight on getting android 3.1 on the google i/o galaxy tab?

I'd like to do some ADK (usb accy dev kit board) work and there is no host USB driver _on_ the device -- HOST support is not in 3.0, only 3.1.

thx

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thepro8:
I heard it reported in the news as "in a few weeks"
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] canadiancow:
thepro8 is right. They said a few weeks.

As for accessory development, you seem to have that confused. Accessories and host mode are two independent features.

My Nexus One with 2.3.4 supports accessories (i.e. the ADK they gave out at I/O works great), but not host mode (I can't plug in a mouse).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] smaskell:
how would you plug anything in anyway? You'd need an adapter for samsung's proprietary port... or are there some from the original galaxy tab that work?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] canadiancow:
The cable that comes with it gives you a male USB connector, and from there, it wouldn't be hard to get a cheap converter to anything else.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sloppyjimbob:
I'm in the same boat. I need the 3.1 update to use the host features, but in the mean time I'm using a Xoom :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SS2006:

All i can do is 'check for update' and then I sign in with a Samsung acccount

Mine doesn't time out. It says "No update available."
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DensoYamaha41:
I posted the below reply in another forum. This might be of some insight.

I am hoping the update is out by June 8th when they release the Samsung 10.1 in US.

I can at least give you somewhat good news. Android 3.1 was released last Friday, May 13th in the US on the Motorola Xoom. So it is officially out and I am assuming and hoping that it should be released shortly on the Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kentoe:
Yeah, they gave it to the Xoom on the day of the first keynote and they had said "in the following/coming weeks" for the Tab 10.1. It will most likely be out before June 8th I'm hoping otherwise they would have said when when the device is officially available.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] oxeneers:
How can you even use the ADK with the 10.1? It doesn't have a USB port.. well, that is, unless you somehow get a dongle from Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jeffcrilly:
The ADK board has two USB ports. The small one works with the computer to load firmware etc. (Tested this and it seems to work). I was assuming the large one would work with the tab... then I could just use the TAB supplied USB cable.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] canadiancow:
Correct. If you can plug something into a computer's USB port, you can plug it into the ADK board.

Once it gets 3.1, accessories should work.
[Nexus S General] rdbhalla:
Now I miss my Galaxy S. The main reason for me to jump the boat was horrendous lag in Galaxy S. I bought Nexus S i9023 on 2-May. On 4-May, Samsung released 2.3.3. XWJVH. I was a happy happy customer as Nexus S was really snappy and looked nice, but XWJVH converted Galaxy S into a totally different phone. It was snappy, no lags.

Now that Galaxy S is gone (sold on eBay), I miss it - SAMOLED, Gorilla Glass, FM, external SD slot, 720p recording. This accompanied with a sudden fall in Nexus S prices is really depressing me. May be its buyer's remorse. Anyone else coming from Galaxy S, and missing it?
[Nexus S General] styckx:
Don't miss it eating battery's, skipping keyboard keys, wobbly keyboard hinge, and the hardware making developers pull their hair out in turn making development slow as dirt.

[Nexus S General] demo23019:
I only missed my vibrant because NS lacks all the video codecs

That changed couple days ago with dice player release now i dont miss anymore

I have the original 9020T SAMOLED version i wouldn't have sold my vibrant for a NS if it was SLCD.

I knew what i was getting into when i made the switch ..I can live without external storage and 720p record but not the screen

OP i would have invested my money towards a galaxy S 2
[Nexus S General] rdbhalla:
In Australia, Nexus S was released with a SLCD screen, and thats what I have. Looks like I jumped the boat too quick. :(
[Nexus S General] rdbhalla:
May be in US, Galaxy S is different from Galaxy S in Australia. My Galaxy S had none of those weak points coz there were no keyboard keys. The only issue I had was its performance on Froyo, and unending delay in getting Gingerbread.
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
yea hes is talking about the US sprint version only one that has a keyboard
[Nexus S General] rdbhalla:
Anyone else in the same boat?
[Nexus S General] VAgathon:
I have to admit that there are times when I miss my SGS but generally I much prefer the experience the Nexus S gives me.

I only wish the NS had the video codecs out of the box that doesn't require 3rd party video players to work. I don't really shoot video so HD doesn't concern me much.

I find that the build quality of the SGS isn't as good as the Nexus S either.
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
No gorilla glass, no external SD, no 720p. Sure nice to have, but you knew this before buying it.

No FM, does anyone listen to radio anymore? Only radio I listen to is one show on SiriusXM. If I want music, I have Pandora and mp3s.

Prices going down on Nexus S? Well yeah, it's almost 6 months old already. Prices go down after some time on stuff, especially technology.

I have an SGS on Verizon (Fascinate) and it is completely horrible. I think it is Verizon's fault, though.
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
Heck you're lucky. The Samsung Fascinate (SGS) just got Froyo last month. It runs completely terrible too. Freezes up, slow, random bugs. I blame Verizon and their Bing integration into the phone.
[Nexus S General] rony474:
i came from SGS to NS .. and i am satisfied ..

2.3.4 Android + newest udpates from google

no lags

awesome camera + flash light

no gorilla glass but it has the Oleophobic surface

no HD recording - not missing it

SLCD - very nice , comparable with SAMOLED

16GB of storage - common guys , that needs to be enough for a phone!

no xvid divix? who cares - install Rockplayer , all videos work , even some .mkv

any questions? :) .. let me know ..
[Nexus S General] rdbhalla:
Honestly, the only thing I am missing the most is HD video quality. I shoot a lot of videos of my little daughter who is just 2.

I think the video quality of SGS was much better than that of NS. I probably didn't do my research properly this time and just went ahead with this purchase. I assumed a bit, and many sites claim that Nexus S hardware is exactly same as Galaxy S. Many sites even claim that Nexus S shoots 720p video.

Only after I had sold off my SGS on ebay (within 3 days of buying NS), I realized that NS video quality wasn't upto SGS and then I discovered that it doesn't support 720p videos, and records in oldish .3gp format.

May be its just me, but I think even camera shots from SGS have more crisp colors (as seen on my laptop screen) compared to shots from NS.

I love the clean 2.3.4 look, overall feel & weight of the phone, Outlook email/calendar background and fonts (I hated all black calendar on SGS), stock messaging (compared to ugly yellow/blue on SGS) and everything else - But an inferior camera module is proving to be a deal breaker for me unfortunately.

I really want to change to a new phone now, but 4.3" is not my cup of tea. I would like my phone to be 3.7" or 4.0" max. Looks like, currently Galaxy S and Nexus S are the only good phones available in this size range. I think I have to wait for more models to be launched before I change again.
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
you came from a SGS and recommend using rock player its software rendered junk nothing like the galaxy S player

use dice player

it plays everything with hardware acceleration just like your galaxy S it also includes DTS audio codec so you dont have to convert popular H.264(MKV) with DTS audio

[Nexus S General] Matridom:

[Nexus S General] thiagodark:
that's something i didn't know. i guess samsung is messing up everything, always 7 or 8 variants from same device. Here SGS can tune TV, but no flash!
[Nexus S General] psp888:
I had a SGS then got a Nexus S because of the horride lag issues. But did kinda miss all the enhancements samsung made, 720p, video codecs, hardware acclerated browser etc.

Now I've moved on again and gone back to the Galaxy S range with the Galaxy S2, now this phone is a beast. Slim, light, amazing screen, and fast as hell with it's dual core processor. You can play 4 flash youtube videos at the same time in the browser without missing a single frame, probably can handle more but not tried. Even play 1080p flash youtube videos!
