[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow_fox:
I've read flashing to odin (2.1) can cause problems if your phone came with stock 2.2.

I am wondering what all I need to know to (as safely as possible) flash a phone that comes with stock 2.2 or if there is any increased danger in flashing with the stock 2.2 phones.

I've done a few quick checks.. haven't come up with a lot of data to say "yay or nay" on the subject as to any of the major differences if there are any.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack man:
I had a replacement Captivate come stock with 2.2 and have had no problems. If you flash custom ROMS from 2.2 though you need to read about 3e recovery with no signatures. But if you ODIN back to 2.1 you shouldn't have a problem.

If you are new to all this my advice is to READ AS MUCH AS YOU CAN before you do anything to so you can keep from harming your phone.

Flashing Odin one click may cause you to button combo, and you can risk soft brick
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow_fox:
I'm not incredibly new to rooting/flashing.

I am however, experienced enough to double check and make sure of things before I jump in head first.

I am running CM7 on my own phone and just want to make sure nothing goes horribly wrong when flashing my girlfriends.

I had heard about losing 3 button combo and that was one of my major concerns.. I'll check out 3e recovery before I jump in.

Thanks.

You post something telling us that we're gonna get GB without clearly reading the article in the link, in which I might add you didn't even give us the link, and then you don't respond AT ALL. The whole forum is gonna flame you. That's troll material. You have to be thorough and responsible when posting things of that nature.

Back to the topic at hand, as far as 3G issues go... I recently had a problem with my 3g going in and out for no reason when my gf's had no issues what so ever. Called VZW and confirmed "no issues" in my area (chicago btw) and proceeded on over here to find a solution and this worked for me:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1051543

I also googled "verizonwireless.com esn swap" and got a step by step on how to do it yourself without having to call a tech, and did it all on the VZW site with activating a new device and reactivating mine, and i've been golden ever since.

Hope this helps, good luck.

I must say the fugu tweaks made my phone a lot snappier, and is running so smooth right now. Just like the thread said, it won't killed the battery or give it better battery life. It just makes the phone more responsive, its great.

Did any of you OC your phones after installing the fugu tweaks??

I flashed v1 and pushed v2. both seem to work fine.

My phone was already pretty slick, but now it's so buttery smooth i'm going to have to purchase a tether so i don't drop it. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drhonk:
Unfortunately their cwm file is cwm2 so won't work with sgs4g cwm but you can use amend2edify to convert it ... :) Just make sure you're using amend2edify latest database which include sgs 4g phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
drhonk, there was no problem flashing without amend2edify BUT....

for me(and maybe you guys who flashed fugu tweaks in might want to check)

but flashing the files didnt work

it said everything flashed fine

but when i went back to see if the files were there and modified....NOTHING

so i manually pushed the system_server from v1 and the app_process from v2

and NOW its all fine and dandy and extra smooooooth like keith stone ;)

that is the correct forum and download,

my phone said it flashed and everything was correct

but i looked and the files didnt change so i had to manually push

i just extracted the file and puched it manually so I know it didn't miss anything:D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] edge228:
hi, is there an easy way to "push" files? i am presuming when i hear you all say push, you are refering to copying and pasting the file(s) somewhere on the internal memory of the phone?

i struggled for like 30+ mins trying to figure out how to copy and paste the recovery file to the internal memory of the system/bin just to get cwm to work for me. So, as i look into trying to get some of these other tweaks, roms, kernel's, etc, if i see i need to push these files, just trying to understand it and figure out of there is an easy was to do this? I ended up using Super Manager to get the "recovery" file into the internal system/bin, is this a good app to use for that?

thank you so much.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] CozzaFrenzyy:
there really isnt an easier way of doing this as far as i am concerned.

I use super manager for most of the tweaks i have and it works great in my opinion. All you have to do it go to the file explorer and than menu and click on r/w option so you can overwrite system files after that its pretty much copy and paste to the right directory.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
I use root explorer, many people here use it and is a geat app, worth buying I think. When dropping the recovery file into system/bin, you need to change the permissions from R/O to R/W this allows you to override the current recovery file you have in your phone. I can't really say how to change the permissions in Super manager in order for you to do this, but with root explorer is much easier for me because there's a button that you click from R/O to R/W.

so if you do decide to use root explorer, copy the new recovery file that Krylon provided for us, go to system/bin, once you're in bin hit the button at the top right and that changes from R/O to R/W, and then paste it and override it. R/W pretty much allows you to modify files when they are being pushed manually. Once you past the file, hit the button again and it should switch it back to R/O. You do the same thing with other files you want to push in.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] edge228:
yea, i thought i was doing that, eventually there was some series of clicks that finally opened up the window asking me to authorize the r/w and then it worked fine. i kept going all the way to the right on the menu where the the 3 cog wheels were with the the 3 7's and clicking that and hitting ok, then hitting copy and then browse to the folder and hit paste, but for some reason it wasnt working, but eventually it did... i am sure after i do it a few more times, i will get the hang of it, :) thanks again for the help and info...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] edge228:
yea, i did eventually get it to work, i just need to do it a few more times so i can get the sequence of button clicks down to remember for future times. thanks for the help and info...

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] edge228:
so, now that i understand this pushing the files.... for this fugo tweak... seems like some say use cwm to flash and others say push the files.... if pushing the files is the way to go, what folder do the files go in? and if flashing, i am presuming the file is a zip file, and i would just use cwm to install zip file from sd card, right?

so any consensus, on what is the current better way for this tweak? someone said something about waiting for ext 4... sorry, im new to the obviously, what is ext 4?

thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
Dont flash, it says "successful" but doesnt install it. Just push manually to the folders specified in the original thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] edge228:
ok, i downloaded that fugutweak zip and browsed where it wanted to put the files, i found the 2 system files just fine and was even able to make a copy of them and pasted them on the main root folder as a backup where my other zips are at. however i can not find the META-INF folder, i even used super manager to do a search and it didnt find it... any idea where that is supposed to go? or am i supposed to create that folder in the same directory where the system folder is? and if so, does it really need to be in all caps?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] CozzaFrenzyy:
if you are replacing the files manually, dont worry about the meta inf folder, all you need to do is replace the two files in system/bin. the meta inf folder is required during a flash through cmw, correct me if i am wrong.

Rebooting now after pushing it; initial boot-up was wicked fast (the animation logo) and the rest seems to be about on par with how it was before. Screen scrolling does feel a bit snappier, though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
the meta inf folder is required so your cwm can flash properly it is simply the amend2edify conversion, without this cwm will tell you that it is required to have all files converted using amend2edify

I tried using AC and it does not have Root access, I think its because our rom is a stock version.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
It worked really well, actually increased responsiveness by a HUGE amount. Not noticeable at first, but once you run through all your apps at least once, startup and everything (of the apps) is greatly improved.

Hopefully this will in fact be implemented and taken advantage of in future SGS4G developments.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
I was thinking the same thing
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shotchacokov:
did you guys use the v0.1 or v0.2 file(s)?

if v0.2 did you use the system_server file from v0.1 with it?

can someone post the original system_server file? I made a backup but must have screwed up when i pasted.:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theblueprint:
wow. a definite, noticeable improvement in smoothness. feels "snappy".
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MrRuckus:
It seems about the same to me, however I did the overclock first, and then applied the 2 files.

The 1.5Ghz overclock makes a significant difference in overall system responsiveness. I just wasn't sure if the CWM zip would work on the SGS4G so I skipped that step to begin with and then applied the files manually as suggested here.

We'll see tomorrow how the battery life is throughout the day. Thanks to both of the original ops. Good stuff indeed.

[Trophy General] 5474243:
Quickly got my Verizon Trophy after watching the Win 7 wave roll across the world and other carriers. I was quick to grab my certified SanDisk 32GB microsd and head in for the upgrade.

We in the US seem to have a 16GB standard internal card compared to the European 8GB (USA! USA! USA!). The triumph was short lived though. Everything seemed to look exactly like the international versions and I followed to a successful insertion (giddy giddy).

On boot, I received the "Welcome to Verizon" screen and was prompted for a "Get Started." Elated! This quickly sputtered to a stall though and I ended with a "HTC" white welcome screen and nothing else.

Did a hard factory reboot a number of times and went back in and changed the card a few times. I could get back to the 16GB but the 32 would always stall with the HTC welcome screen and never progress.

The phone is back to the shipping 16 but battered and bruised from so many cracks and groans of the prying update fingernails.

Has anyone successfully upgraded the Verizon to 32GB or am I the loan loser? Could the hard watch Verizon has with the CDMA network allow them to better monitor us pesky upgraders???
[Trophy General] downloaderintruder:
from what i know, its the Class of the card that matters. when i upgraded my trophy to 32GB, i made sure it matches the same specs of the previous card (it was a class 2 sandisk 8GB mircoSD), so i bought a 32GB microSD sandisk class 2. i dont know if its faster, but i feel like nothings changed except the capacity, which i was really aiming for. some users had problems with class 4 cards from what i heard, but to be sure just match the class and manufacturer of the card.
[Trophy General] stefanfuchsuk:
Phone seriously problematic after 32GB card installed

Im also getting some problems with my handset after installing a 32GB card. All seemed fine until it started to reset its self randomly. This has only happened when connected to Zune so perhaps MS is putting a spanner in the works. My other thoughts were that it just might not be compatiable considering I only paid £25 for it.

Here are the specs:

Memory capacity: 32GB

Class: 6

Housing material: plastic

Working voltage: 2.7 - 3.6V

Working temperature: 0 - 60°C / 32 - 140°F

Storage temperature: -20 - 85°C / -4 - 238°F

Can anyone clarify which cards they are using if no problems have been experienced yet?
[Trophy General] 5474243:
downloaderintruder - was your upgrade on the Verizon Trophy? I know the European’s have been successfully upgrading the Trophy and wanted to see if, perhaps, something was wonky with the US version. I had brought a SanDisk that was supposedly compatible but it’s really hard to tell given there is no serial number on the card or packaging.

stefanfuchsuk - great alias. There's a 10-page thread on upgrading the Trophy with a detailed spec of the compatible cards.
