What do you mean? Is the xtc clip based on a extraplanetary high-tech piece of all-electronic-device-unlocking equipement that they found by dessecting a space ship in the work shops of Area 51, and are know keeping hidin for public (but everyone knows that they used it to find Osama and in fact, it made Obama win the presidential elections [how else can you explain the similarity in name eh]) ??

I think so as well!

I rcently was on cm7 and then decided to go back to stock the only thing was odin 1.3 and 1.7 keot gettung stuck, my sister accidentally clicked repartition and i unplugged it before it got any further. i did the going back to stock process like 5 times and kept getting stuck. I waited an hour then tried again and now it worked , i installed cm7 and my sd card or any other one i put in the doesnt read it, it doesnt even say sd card inserted?

thoughts?
[Vibrant General] jmcghee1973:
Did you try looking in /emmc ? It doesn't read the micro sd in the usual format on CM7.

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

1) if I wanted to flash to JVO with Odin, is the setup in the attached pic correct (especially the files on PDA, PHONE, CSC and repartition ticked)?

2) Wasn't there a bootloader I needed to flash? I think I read somewhere the bootloader changed with GB.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolah:
1)Yup

2)The bootloaders are included in the file you have ( See where it says sbl in the file name of the PDA )
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Yeah saw that SBL and that made me suspicious whether that file really should go into the PDA slot and leave the bootloader slot blank. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolah:
Nope leave it EXACTLY as you have it there mate and you are good to go.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
and repartition has to be ticked as well, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolah:
Yes.

You are using a pit file so you need repartition ticked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Thanks a lot for the quick help! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Widget21:
no don't repartition unless you want to in which case you need ONE EXTRA FILE: 512.pit!! You sound like a newbie so depending where you are coming from -stock firmware-wise, by all means repartition but you must obtain the 512.pit that you add to odin and flash with the rest of the rom. WARNING: this will wipe all your data and apps and repartition your phone including the sd card. make sure that you remove any external SD cards if you have one and the SIM card too...for peace of mind

UPDATE: oops! England has beaten Algeria...in cyberworldcup :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
I'd consider myself as noob, yep. :D

I thought I have to repartition when upgrading from JPY (2.2.1) to JVO? I don't know when this has to be done. Just saw the PIT file recommended for JVO on samfirmware and somehow assumed I have to repartition.

So what should I do, what's the difference if I do or not do it?

I backed up all data and wiped the phone before so there's not much on it right now (and no lagfix or so used, just stock rom with CF kernel).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Widget21:
if you're sure that you used the same pit file as before i.e; 512.pit then you don't have to repartition at all.....if in doubt then repartition. BTW which pit file did you see on samfirmware.com? Should I assume that this is your first rom flashing from stock JPY? Also, make sure that you use the JVO rom that includes GB bootloaders.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Before? I never flashed a full ROM via Odin, only kernel (CF), thus I never re-partitioned myself. :D

Until now I used KIES always to flash ROMs. :)

If re-partitioning works like on a HDD I guess then this can be skipped unless something changed partition wise from Froyo to GB?

So do I need to re-partition at all?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unregistered.:
Hey guys, gonna steal the end of this thread.

Currently I am on 2.2:

PDA: JPA / PHONE: JPP / CSC:JP7 (MET)

I want to use ODIN to upgrade to STOCK 2.2.1 and for it to change the CSC to XEU so that 2.3.3 (and future updates) will be done through kies automatically.

Can somebody confirm how I do this? Which file do i need to d/l - all three? And do I (and why) need to repartition?

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
If you used Kies anyway, why not use it now to update to 2.2.1? :) Afaik you can change the CSC with market apps (think I read that somewhere but someone may want to confirm this). Anyways, you could just stick with your normal CSC as GB will be released to the rest of Europe anyway.

Currently, it's uncertain whether there will be more updates after GB afaik.

But yes, our question remains: do we have to re-partition at all if we only used Kies so far to update ROMs? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unregistered.:
Tried changing the CSC but it's didn't work. I'm with meteor and they are useless. So what i want is the stock 2.2.1 for UK and ireland as if it was d/l form kies and be on my way :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Widget21:
Official Samsung GB for UK has already rolled out, it's called XXJVO and believe me once you've done your first ODIN rom flashing you will never stop flashing other..(custom roms and kernels) if there're any geeky tendencies inside you and just waiting to be released... see this thread and all your fears will be assuaged!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Thanks! There it says:

"Note: Re-partition is not a must, use it only if you need to change partition sizes on the device, but in most cases you will not need to repartition at all." question answered. :)

@Unregistered: you could use I9000XXJPY from samfirmware, JPY was the one that was offered to me by Kies back then (German unbranded SGS). But someone may want to confirm this to you first, as I see lots of others 2.2.1 ROMs there and not sure what the difference is. Samfirmware offers a single file and once extracted you should have 3 files.

I just wonder why the 2.2.1 ROM files do not show on that website which CSC is used, maybe it's universal or something?

Well, I guess Widget21 has a point here. If you are willing to flash now with Odin, you might be willing to do it with GB too, then the CSC won't matter (it doesn't matter much anyway as I learned).

Just be sure your 3 button combo is working and that you connect with direct USB.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unregistered.:
Is it JPY or JPX for UK (XEU)?

I dont want to flash gingerbread. Not yet anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Widget21:
JVO has multiCSC and UK's xeu is included in it so no need to worry about changing CSCs...remember the 'Thanks' button is there for a reason :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
@Unregistered: yeah, sorry, that's what I meant. If you wanna flash GB in the future you might want to do it with Odin and then the CSC shouldn't matter anymore.

For some reason, I'm unable to find out the CSC on the file and it's not listed. The JPY I downloaded from samfirmware recently has DBT as CSC (Germany). If you download the JPX file and extract it the CSC file might tell which region it is (as in my case).

@Widget21: I used my thanks feature up for today (5 max). :( I'll try tomorrow again. :D

I just downloaded this:

JPY_JPY_JPY.tar. I thought i was getting the three files. Where do i go from here
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Did you extract the rar file yet, mate? It should contain 3 files.

EDIT: I messed up! I actually downloaded the JQ3 file (which is JPY for the PDA file), sorry! :(

Got confused on the download the other day already. But then noticed PDA says JQ3 when I checked my phone so I figured I need the JQ3 file (which seemed to be correct as the included PDA file had JQ3 in its name).

Anyone from UK or Ireland who flashed to 2.2.1 with Kies and knows which is the correct file or CSC (my phone is German so can't tell)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unregistered.:
Yes, inside is JPY_JPY_JPY.tar. I dunno if i should be using the one file without repartition or what?:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
As edited above, I gave you the wrong file info. I downloaded the JQ3 file and that had 3 files included (but didn't try flashing it yet as I had no needs to, I will just flash GB over my rooted 2.2.1).

But if you really want an UK CSC then the included CSC file will be of little use as it is for DBT (Germany). So you might want to wait for an UK user to post which file you need. I'm no way experienced in flashing anyway but trying to help.

But you're prolly better off creating a new thread for that as this thread's title may be misleading and delay a useful response.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Widget21:
it's a .rar not .tar..a big difference! Unrar/unzip this file using 7-zip and you'll end up with 3 files: PDA, Phone, and CSC. USe Odin to flash by following the instructions in my previous link above.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Widget21:
sorry just saw this post....in this case this is a one file rom..just flash this under PDA only..no repartition...this will flash 3 files automatically..ODIN knows where to put them..

I read that but there are some people there suggesting to repartition using only the single file. I thought that was a no-no.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrotune1200:
Man you guys are making this more difficult than it needs to be..

1 file firmware, No pit, No re-partition.

3 file firmware, just flash it with a 512 pit and re-partition ticked.

Done...

Wasn't that easy?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unregistered.:
Yes. It's just confusing when you have some people saying yo use a PIT file when using only a PDA.

Re-partioning on or off can't hard brick the phone, right?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrotune1200:
I'll give it to you like this.

One time I was really stupid. The Missus had me pissed off, so I went to my sanctuary to flash my phone with something new.

In all my anger, I forgot that I had my phone converted to an EXT4 filesystem.

In my habbit of re-partition when I have three files, that re-partition saved my phone from the depths of hell.

If I hadn't re-partitioned, my phone would have been in an office crate with 50 other SGS's that suffered the same miserable fate. Just waiting to be fixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Right, if I "messed" around with the filesystem I would have re-partitioned too I guess. :D

Anyways, time to come to an end:

flashed without re-partitioning and it worked, everything shows JVO now (CSC: OXA, whatever that might be). :D Ohhhh it is soooo shiny now. :D Just the satisfactioning part wasn't as good, it was over far too quickly. xD

So as long as one did not change the file system or re-partitioned earlier, re-partitioning is probably not mandatory. One could still reflash I guess, anyway. But ohhh what's this, a new battery symbol, that will keep me busy and happy... for a short while. ;)

In case someone here reads this and is as careful: do not panic after flashing when you see the SGS animation on startup, takes a few min (knew this from earlier Kies flashes but at the end I had small doubts anyway). :D

(I almost messed up on the first flash, put some file into the bootloader slot but realized in time, eviiiill).

Only Titanium died on startup but that's because it misses its root-mate. That'll be the next step (CF-Root kernel).

edit: been there, done that too. :)

Thanks mate, and everyone else here, gonna use the thanks button tomorrow when my limit is refreshed! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unregistered.:

Glad you're all sorted mate.

Make sure you give your phone a factory reset. Trust me on this.

When you move on to flashing a kernal... Make sure you flash the correct kernal :)

If you're not sure, just ask someone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciddy:
High there, got my SGS2 yesterday, rooted and all is well. I had a HTC HD2 before, and I have to say with recent android builds it was quite cool, but no comparison to the speed and beauty of the Galaxy S2.

One thing totally trips me off though and that is Samsungs Social Hub. I.e. when checking for Software updates you need to create an account... no go. But I digress.

What I want is for the contacts app to basically work like the one in HTC Sense,

which pulls in Facebook info of your contacts to the address book.

It will update the contacts picture (most importantly) and also updates/displays recent status updates.

I have tried apps like SyncMyPics (seems to have problems properly identifying contacts and complains about write protection on them) and Facebook sync (which finds 0 friends to match, even though there are several named identical between FB and the Phone book).

Please dont suggest just making an account at Samsung. I will NOT have all my address book uploaded and snooped through. It has to be ON the Phone. (Not using Google to handle my contacts either, no use of GMail).

JOINING the contact sets does not really work well at all, you don't get to pick which picture is to be used etc etc.

I'd like a priority-based link between my phonebook entry and the corresponding facebook profile, where the facebook profile info takes priority of the two.

Any suggestions? It worked beautifully in HTC Sense Desire HD ROM on HD2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artesea:
Have you tried installing Facebooks own app? Not used any of the Samsung stuff and I appear to have my friends photo, phone numbers and email addresses added, plus birthdays are appearing in my local calendar.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciddy:
Sure have. In Facebook for Android the Sync Contacts option is checked at "sync all contacts", so is it in the Systems Accounts & Sync settings etc. Still, it doesnt seem to work. Maybe I'll give it another "delete all contacts" run and check my sequence again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stBlueJay:
When i synced my Facebook contacts with my Google contacts, profile pictures were added.... great! but they are shockingly pixelated! When someone phones me and the picture pops up it look embarrassing, anyone else had this issue?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsomby:
SyncMyPix works ok here. You can still manually "join" not founded to correct ones.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciddy:
Just redid all my contacts, re-synced with syncmypics, this time it found 72 matches, but it didn't update the contacts. Also, when linking manually in smp, it loads the existing pic for cropping.

No other positive results either...

As I said, not using Google for contacts either. Must be a problem with the Samsung Contacts app? All Contacts were imported from a Sense-exported vcf file and have <HTCData><Facebook>id:XXXXXXX etc etc in the NOTE field. Might that be a cause of the problem?

I deleted it on a contact but it didn't seem to make a difference.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r_a_c:
Yes, they don't look good! Also in my buddy widgets they are f*cking ugly. With my incredible s they were nice and normal, good looking. I would like to see it getting better too...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciddy:
Ok... So I just found two things:

1. If I manually join contacts and the phonebook has a picture, that pic will be used over the Facebook one. Once that pic is deleted, the Facebook pic is used. (No hint as to whether or not it's a FB pic though, as the small blue F in HTC Sense)

2. When editing the contact and switching to the facebook tab on the contact, it says "Unable to edit SNS contact on the phone" - I guess this means that you can't edit your buddies FB pic on your phone, which makes perfect sense. Just wondering if "SNS" refers to a general social networking services or some particular Samsung service?

I must still say that HTC Sense did a better job integrating this type of info.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wazzamatazz:
When you're looking at a contact card, you can choose which contact picture to use by pressing Menu > Mark as default.

The main difference from HTC is that the Samsung will only use the Facebook picture by default if there is not a picture already associated with the contact. You'll also find that the contact pictures taken from Facebook are sometimes stretched when you're in your contacts list to fit the available space (e.g. if the Facebook pic is rectangular rather than square).

SNS refers to the Samsung connectors for the various social networks the phone supports (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.). Equivalent of the likes of "Facebook for HTC Sense" that get used by FriendStream on HTC phones.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciddy:
Thanks a LOT.

I'd never have guessed the "mark default" meant "select defaults" number etc...

So I logged into the social hub app and was a bit surprised it seems all traffic goes through Samsung servers? I remember Sense not asking me to agree to service terms, although I honestly tl;dr!-ed on the SNS agreement. Anywhere I could read up on that on a desktop screen tomorrow?

Weird thing is with Facebook for Android and SNS both running now, FBfA is labeled an "unknown" info source (displaying pictures in correct aspect ratio), while FB/SNS is labeled with the blue F but distorts the pics as mentioned...

So, so far the only upside to SNS is three ability to also sync the FB calendars...

Hi,

I flashed GB 2.3.3 (CF-ROOT 3.3) when it first came up and everything worked fine. Today I decided to check my bootloader. I installed the patch and applied it because the application said: SIGNED. When I rebooted the tab, here is what happened:

A lot of horizontal lines (green, blue, white....etc) -----> then samsung logo appeared -----> then horizontal lines again ---> then the tab main screen appeared.

The tab works fine and now the patch said "YOU ARE SAFE".

I noticed that I lost the recovery mode. ie. When I go to CWM manager ---> Recovery ---> Reboot into ClockWorkMod recovery, the tab gets stuck on samsung logo with these horizontal lines. (Same thing with Power on + Volume up )

What Should I do please ? Flash again 2.3.3 ?

Thanks in advanced.
