in the video he uses talon kernel, i wouldnt suggest that because now most roms are not based on jvb which that talon is, so if yoou fallow the steps with that kernel and flash a jvh based rom it will bootloop, i suggest a kernel in this thread:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1042543

if its a jvh rom grab this one:I9000_reoriented_vG.1.2_novoo.tar

"clayed"... I like it.. It makes a lot more sense than "soft-bricked":D I myself will start to use that phrase;) thanks!
[Captivate General] Superalpaca:
I agree, but it's a term that everybody uses. Sort of like how a ton of metal music is called "hardcore", even when it's not hardcore. Etc. I guess I just assumed that when I gave different conditions for each degree of "brick"(or clay, whatever the terminology), a noob or otherwise inexperienced person could distinguish the difference rather than see "brick" and freak out.

I dunno, I've "bricked" my phone to the point of requiring a jig before, it's super easy and nothing to get freaked out about. If anything, it's a wonderful learning experience, which is something people should be expecting when they do this sort of stuff anyways. It isn't an iPhone.
[Captivate General] McKillroy11:
I watched the video and I don't know how to downgrade to 2.1. Also will I need to re-root my phone after going to gingerbread or the downgrade?
[Captivate General] studacris:
ive done it on purpose out of curiosity and wanting to see for myself, like i mentioned earlier the phone...!....pc just means a flash was marked incomplete so a fun learning experience: Flash a kernel with odin and yank the chord halfway through the flash. you might get a screen with a pretty color :D followed by the phone....!.....pc screen. now flash a modem with odin and let that finish like normal, the phone...!...pc screen will no longer be there, it will still be clayed because the kernel is broken, but it wont have that screen anymore. then flash the kernel like normal and it will be fixed likje nothing ever happened. this has no risk of bricking whatsoever because there are no bootloaders involved in the flash.

ive never had to use the jig i built my button combos have always worked, i still built one cause its super easy and handy to have if i ever need it but i just never have:cool:

if you are flashing a custom rom and not staying on stock gingerbread then it will already be rooted.

to return to stock everything (stock bootloaders also) use odin one click. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

to return to a stock rom but still retain the gingerbread bootloaders use this package http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=995143

both of those methods of returning to stock would be an out of the box unrooted stock rom.
[Captivate General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Use odin3 oneclick downloader. That will put you back at stock 2.1

Here it is. But if you don't know how to use it. You should really learn it.

[Captivate General] twvance:
I agree the term "brick" is thrown around too liberally, but I was under the impression that a "soft brick" was a SOFTware problem, and a "hard brick" was a HARDware problem. I guess I was mistaken, since "hard bricks" can still be the result of software issues. (right?)

Sent from a phone inside a phone inside a KFC inside a McDonald's.
[Captivate General] studacris:
A hard brick occurs when the bootloaders are written improperly or gingerbread and froyo bootloaders are mixed. Completely software. If the bootloaders can't load the boot sequence you get absolutly nothing from it.

You can still recover from a hard brick with jtag, if it was a hardware problem like severe water damage there is no coming back from that at all. So I guess that's just called a broken phone.
[Captivate General] K3TMAN:
Agreed! I've only once encountered a true bricking (in that case an employee bricked a WRT54G and we didn't feel like soldering the serial connector on to fix it). Still whenever I flash a device I take great care so I don't loose hours recovering from a bad flash.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stivesstu:
Had my phone for a few months now and recently found that it can't connect to my secure network at home.

When I turn wifi on I get the dreaded connect/disconnect message while it constantly tries to connect to my network. If I leave it on then the battery will drain overnight while the phone tries to connect. I have an iphone which connects to the network no problem. As does my laptop etc

To try to fix this I deleted all my new apps, especially the push ones which give me news updates, etc but this has made no difference.

The weird thing is if I turn off my router's security then the phone will connect and works perfectly fine. I've tried using all the different security settings (even WPS) with new passwords etc and everything seems to setup fine on the phone except it just doesn't want to connect (or more accurately stays connected for a microsecond).

If I go back to an open network it connects immediately and stays connected.

I think this is the root cause of the wifi connection problems that many other people are getting. But I'm at a loss to try to understand why it won't pick up a secure network but works fine otherwise.

My phone is using 2.2.1 and has been rooted

Any thoughts?

Root the problem highly unlikely ..

Secure home network test .

Remove security from Router that is no password .

Remove that connection from phone .

Reboot phone let it pick up router and connect .

If it does then delete reset router password and add in phone .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stivesstu:
Thanks for suggested fix. I'll give it a go and let you know if it worked.

Root was a bad choice of word..... I meant that while looking for a solution to my wifi problem I noticed many other people complaining that they can't connect to a wifi network for one reason or another and I was thinking that maybe broken security is a common cause of many wifi connection issues.. In my case there was nothing physical at all to suggest that security was an issue, especially since all my other devices work fine on the same network.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stivesstu:
Hi, tried your suggestion but I still cant connect. The first time I rebooted the phone it knocked out my internet connection! I've setup a static IP address for my PC and the phone was insisting on trying to connect using the same address and creating a conflict. I fixed that so that's not the issue.

This is what I've tried..

I checked to make sure DHCP was enabled in the router, rebooted everything. No luck.

I tried adding an IP Address Reservation for the phone and assigning a dedicated static IP Address. No luck either

I tried connecting the device using WPS. It all went as it should - my router saw the device, added the mac address to the list of devices etc. The phone acknowledged the handshake. But again it still wont connect.

I checked the router log and it says "DHCP IP: (192.168.1.2)] to MAC address B4:07:F9:33:D6:3D, Tuesday, May 24,2011 03:08:48" which I think is what it should say.

OK I've just fixed it!!! Or at least its connected.

All along I've been securing the network with WPA2-PSK. I just changed it to WEP and the phone connected immediately. I hadn't considered WEP because I read that its not that secure and I do all my banking etc through my PC.

I've tried all the other security options and only WEP works with the phone. I suspect its a compatibility problem between the phone and my router (a Netgear WNT834B v2) because both the phone and router work independently but not very well together. There's plenty of posts discussing the Galaxy S connecting to WPA networks so it can do it.

Now, after trying all the other security options. It won't connect again even on WEP. Bummer. It is acting slightly differently in that its trying to acquire an IP address instead of simply not connecting, although it doesn't seem to be able to find one.

I need to try this on a friends network and see if the router or the phone is to blame. I've no idea... but the phone's a bit too touchy for my liking
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hahahari:
I had a similar issue, I had to reflash the ROM to get it to work. Backup all your contacts and stuff and then do a full factory resetting. See if that helps, if it doesnt, reflash the ROM. It should work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stivesstu:
Well I've spent the last few days looking into this issue and it's considerably more widespread than I first realised. The problem is that while many people have a wifi connection issue we all seem to have variations on a theme.

As I say in my case the phone will connect and stay connected to an open network but won't touch a secure one. I tried many suggested fixes and nothing's worked so I am now trying a factory reset.

A couple of questions: there appears to be two ways to do this, a factory data reset through the phone menu; and a hard reset using a combination of volume buttons, etc. The hard reset seems to be the deeper of the two.

When you say full factory setting which one did you mean? I am currently data resetting and therefore using the "authorised" Samsung reset

But how long does this process take? My phone has had a black screen and been vibrating every 10 seconds or so for the last hour. It's getting quite hot and there appears to be no end in sight. Has the phone hung or something? If it has how do I get out of this without bricking the phone? It's beginning to concern me because I'll have to do something real soon.

As an aside, in my search for a solution I found something that might help someone people (it didn't work for me). According to the bloke who posted it, the problem for everyone is that the wifi drivers have not been installed properly and if you enter *#*#526#*#* on your keypad it unlocks a service access that reinstalls the wifi driver. I tried it and the phone told me the software was installed successfully but no change.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stivesstu:
Waited long enough so pulled the battery out and restarted the phone. I get the startup screen but after that the screen goes black and it vibrates again every ten secs and I can't get in.

Have to try the other reset.....

Things are going from bad to worse..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stivesstu:
Have managed to start a full factory reset using the volume, power and home button but it's gone back into the black screen and vibrating every ten seconds.

I know Im going off topic here but Ive now reset the phone, wiped the cache, tried to apply the sd card update (aborted because it can't find the directory) and it always comes back to the black screen and vibrating every ten secs.

Am now trying to reflash the rom. Oden reports that the flash was successful but the phone wont reboot. I tried a couple of times - one with Re-Partion checked and the other unchecked but neither will reboot. What could be causing that? I somehow remember that my firmware was JPH but I could only get hold of JPK. Could that be the cause?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stivesstu:
I seem to have solved all the issues at last. Thought it was going to be a bit over my head for a spell.

Once I discovered that the only way I was going to get into my phone was by flashing the rom the first problem I came across was I didn't know which firmware my phone was using previously, apart from the fact it was 2.2.1 and from Asia. I guessed wrongly and after "successfully" flashing the phone it wouldn't reboot. I then noticed that there were only three variations of the 2.2.1 firmware for my region. The second one I tried went a little further than the first but I got an error message about the SD card. The third one installed no problem.

So I instantly checked the wifi signal and the phone connected to the secured network. And stays connected - so far about an hour and a half.

It's amazing how the phone deteriorated the way it did. Hope it doesn't do it again.

Thanks for any help/suggestions

My Mobile is I-9000, I installed an Arabic version JPJPM 2.2.1 on Uk version and mobile restart normally with IMIE & Phone version readable after I closed and restarted the mobile not recognized the phone version and IMIE and give unknown.

I make a recover using the three bottoms and restart the mobile reads Phone Version and IMIE No. and when close and start the mobile back to give phone version and IMIE unknown.

In some forums give the solution to check clear EFS and boot loader update like you see in the attachment.

[HTC Sensation] Barff1984:
This is what i'm worried about

I've been waiting for this device since it was leaked as the pyramid all those moons ago.

It's been released and there's barelty a squeek on the internet about it. Only here is where you can get info about it really. Slashgear did a minimum effort with news to follow...but other than that...not really much.

For a company that are producing record profits, you'd have thought that they would spend a load of money on marketing and advertising to increase sales....I went into the vodafone shop on day 2 in Colchester and they said only one person had enquired about it all day (this was 3pm).

Are they saving everything for the Evo 3D?
[HTC Sensation] Axefield:
Have I understood something wrong or is the phone only available from Vodafone at the moment? And isn't that exclusive for them for a couple of weeks or so? Maybe htc haven't sent any to reviewers yet, because the phone is not officially available until 27th of june?

[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
I see your point about it not being officially launched.

However, why do you say June 28th is the official date? It's widely rumored to launch on T-mobile US on June 8th. Is T-mobile also getting some advance?
[HTC Sensation] silverwolf0:
Pretty generic quickie review there. That recorded video is still awful looking, and falls in line with the other video captures floating around youtube. They seem to be giving it a pass, along with the "stereo sound". Their idea of a battery test is also as unconvincing as ever. Instead of running benchmarks in their videos, they should actually show the browser performance between the two, because that is really the only thing that will stand out the most. Ugh, I expect as much from slashgear.
[HTC Sensation] Axefield:
I picked that date from some website and don't remember which one it was. But it will be released earlier than June 28th. I know that because my operator here in Finland is expecting it to be available around weeks 23-24. They are usually at least a week behind of the other operators here, so the T-Mobile launch for June 8th might be quite accurate.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Yea, it's going to be on T-Mobile June 8th. Once there you'll see plenty of reviews.
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
Argh!! I was hoping for official reviews so I could get this on launch day... (June 8th) guess I will have to wait another week or so.
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
You still have some time and it's quite likely that GSMArena will review it by then (I said likely, not definite).

There are still 2 weeks before the 8th after all :D
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Sites like CNet might have something (short) the day before US launch. But that may be about it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RustyJoe:
I am having problems with syncing to outlook.

The account is up and running, the calendar and contacts are ok, and emails are received, however, it seems like the device decides on its own when it wants to sync email and when it doesn't. I have syncing on as "push" both on peak and off peak, and am connected at all times on 3G or WiFi (mostly 3G).

I do not see a pattern of when it does not sync but I made sure that my APN is in order and cannot see a reason why it does not push the emails.. Sometimes, I do not receive emails for hours and only when I open the email client, it says "Refreshing" and suddenly I get the emails that were not pushed.

I am currently on KE7 update and the problem persists. I came from HTC Desire and never had such problem on it..

Anyone experiencing the same problem or have any fixes?

Thanks.
[HD2 General] AtticusPhynch:
Bad news! I am at a buddies house using WiFi Router, and then Internet Sharing over Bluetooth PAN and just got a text from the new AT&T owned T-mobile service center saying my teather/WiFi sharing will be blocked unless I purchase a special plan from them...

I LOVE my HD2 Leo, but after everything they've put me through over the last 2 years, this may be the final insult. Free teathering and recently the way cool xda WiFi Router app have been a benifit allowance that now will be tossed on the plate of the all mighty cash cow.

I wonder if a cooked ROM HD2, or 3rd party app might get around this, but alas! They probably detect the networked devices different IP. Can we Yanks please flood T-mobile customer service with requests to stop this greedy new rule? If one has the unlimited data plan, what does it matter which device is using it?
[HD2 General] Richy99:
greedy? why is it greedy? the networks are tehre to make money aswell as provide a service, the data plan you have is normally for mobile data use only, the network im on do not allow tethering at all due to the sheer volume of data than can be used when you hook a laptop up tot he data connection

nothing will get around it if they are using software to detect what header data is being sent

is it truly unlimited tho? my proivder says it is unlinuted buyt there is a soft cap of about 20Gb whcih if you are using that on a mobile phone is absolutely crazy, it is stop people using a cheaper mobile data connection than havin to pay for proper broadband
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
Which plan do you have?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You are lucky, T_Mobile has a 5GB soft cap, unless your 20GB quote was a typo and was suppose to be 2GB.

You are right if they are looking for people tethering then they will find you. I tether a good bit so I know they will find me eventually and I will hate it. I mean no matter what someone says about it, this is a clear injustice to the consumer. The consumer should have the right to use their devices and services they pay for in the manor they wish. Not be told 'Hey sorry but we can nolonger offer this service for free". It is a crock if you ask me.

I don't know why you say a cheaper mobile data service. Cause I pay $30 USD a month for my unlimited data, and it is $30 a month for a broadband service on a USB broad band device for my computer through T-Mobile. It uses the same dang network as my phone at the same dang speeds. So please tell me why I should have to pay for a "proper broadband" service, if I already have it with my phone? All you get when you get a broadband device is the cost of the device coupled with the monthly payment for the services. It is even worse that they want you to pay for something that has been free for a good while now just to add to their profits. It has nothing to do with this bull you heart about overloaded networks and the sort, those are all just a legitimizing statements to say "Hey we are right to instate these news regulations", and the mindless masses to not question the real legitimacy of it.
[HD2 General] Richy99:
no not a typo, thats what some people have downlaoded before being cut off, personally i dont use anywhere near 500meg because i do all my browsing etc when im conencted to wifi in the house, people seem use the data connection on their phone for their home internet which is what causes the high volumes
