[Galaxy 3 General] TheCreat:
I actually really disagree there. I rooted my phone primarily for the express reason to be able to update swype. The stock-froyo version was quite slow for me, sometimes it took 3-4 seconds to react (which is a LONG time when you're trying to type).

The new swype beta is not only soooo much faster for me but it also better recognizes what I mean to type (erm... swype :D ). I'm really glad I upgraded as this is a HUGE improvement if you ask me ;)

I am trying to add many languages to swype keyboard v3.6 :)

Enjoy!

Is this from the new ota update?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
The reason I'm asking is because I want to make a bfs kernel for the new update from here :):

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
I just looked and their is only one source release for evo shift, making me assume that thhe source listed is for froyo... but, man do I hope I'm wrong... I really want to compile my first kernel for the shift. I did a few for the moment and intercept but I gotta hunch that it won't be as easy as those were... please tell me I'm wrong! You would make my day!!!! :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] powermatt:
Color me intrigued. Anyone taken the dive on this RUU yet? I know 2.3 is coming, but I haven't heard or read anything about an impending release or leaked release (not counting the test RUU that's floating around XDA).

-edit-

Ah, I'm guessing it is perhaps the same as this?

-edit 2-

Okay, how many of these are duplicates? Here's another.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
nm, htc once again hasn't released the source yet, but they need to!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jesusice:
What? No internet service in that rock you live under? ;) JK, in case you didn't already figure out IT HAS COME! The Shift is officially a GB device :)

The thread I posted is for the official Sprint OTA Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM upgrade for thoe customer's who have Froyo 2.2 installed on their HTC EVO Shift 4G. I copied the file from my download folder after the install to my RapidShare account for those who didn't want to wait for the OTA push from Sprint.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] indagroove:
This ruu that Football posted is a much better base to develop from than any ota update.

This is the only actual ruu I've seen for this rom so far. Football always delivers good ****.

This update is good I can verify. I just extracted the following things from it and I will test more later: recovery.img, system.img, boot.img, "HBOOT.img"

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennruel:
I stumbled on to a post in Tech Petals describing a root method featuring "gold card". I being hard headed and all just had to try it. I produced the gold card, just like instructed. First try at flashing a rom was "toastcfh's" PC36IMG.zip. The bootloader in hboot actually loaded the zip. Upon checking the files it discovered this was an old version. THIS GAVE ME HOPE! I remember reading that one of the tricks isi to rename flashables PC36IMG.zip. So I had previously grabbed an ota update rooted zip, so I renamed it. Bootloader loaded it then started checking it. It then just stops, no message, bootloader reboots. This is as close as I have come to a possible solution. So, I am asking if anyone has any further ideas, post them and I'll run them. I am thinking the gold card may hold some value on this front. I am going to look for updated version of "gold card".
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e_asplundh:
i tried somthing close to that but i was trying to downgrade back to 2.2 from 2.3.3. I did the same thing renamed to PC36IMG.zip and boot loader started installing than failed "old version". What is this "gold card" you speak of.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennruel:
Guide to create a "Gold Card" for android

This is what I kind of stumbled across last night. It almost worked on my boot loader which is 2.16.0001 S-ON. I can't help but think that an updated script for this tool might work. So I am going to investigate that front tonight. The link I coppied below is gold card. There is a link from there to a post using it and the PC36IMG.zip. Let me know if you use it and what happens. I used a Scandisc

8gig micro-sd. I had to build it twice, but Scandisc does work. Also I had to hunt through my evo's /sys directory to find the cid file. The path the author uses appears to be out-dated. I just hunted with File Expert till I found it. I believe the path was /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/subsystem/mmc2/mmc2.***/cid

I beleive that mmc2.*** file is designated by the serial of the sd card. So yours could be any three digits.

google "how-to-create-a-goldcard-for-android" for the post. I'm not allowed to post the link.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdw9800:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrick0823:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennruel:
Sorry to report I have not been able to flash anything using "goldcard". This is frusterating, I sure wish I wouldn't have taken the Sprint tech's advice and rooted before taking the OTA. I rooted my friends(2.2.2) the other day with Z4root, and it downright made me mad.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mswlogo:
You should root your friends with unRevoked Forever (S-OFF) and lock him in.

I wish I had done my sisters. Hers was Z4Rooted and she applied the update.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sgyee:
Okay guys - I've created a Heimdall only version of Gingerbread/KF1 for those who want to use Heimdall.

THIS WILL GIVE YOU ROOT!!!

[Edit] This is the ODEXED version. If you are looking for the DEODEXED version, I will be posting another thread regarding that one.

A few things before I begin.

Many thanks to dsexton702, DrHonk, Krylon360, penguin0609, whitehawkx, and others for their work. If I missed your names, it's not on purpose, I just have a bad memory.

This requires Heimdall. A link to Heimdall for Windows is here:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/az3ia99by9rgcdf/heimdall-suite-1.1.1-win32.zip

This is a Heimdall ONLY solution. You only need to unrar the link attached (yes, I use RAR. Sorry - but it's an all in one solution that allows me to manipulate RAR, ZIP, and TAR files.) into a directory. Get WinRAR (from rarlabs) to undo the file.

When unRAR'ing it, you will see 8 files and a folder. The folder contains the zimage_patch that is required to root the SGS4G.

This is a modification of what dsexton702 did. Steps are as follows:

1) Download the Heimdall suite file here:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/az3ia99by9rgcdf/heimdall-suite-1.1.1-win32.zip

Install Heimdall, including the drivers. Read the instructions included.

If you have Heimdall 1.1.1 installed already, skip step 1 and go to step 2

2) Download the ROM file here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?d920rdcm2mt20ie

3) Unzip the ROM file to a directory.

4) Open Heimdall

5) Match the filename to the PDA/Code location. In other words:

FactoryFS = factoryfs.rfs

Kernel = zimage

Param.lfs = param.lfs

Primary Bootloader = boot.bin

Secondary Bootloader = sbl.bin

cache = cache.rfs

Database = data.rfs

Modem = modem.bin

6) Put your SGS4G into download mode. Click Start. Wait until the green bar goes all the way across and it's done.

7) Reboot to Download mode again

8) Close and re-open Heimdall. Click and browse zImage to the directory "zimage_patch". Choose the zImage file there. Click Start.

9) Let the SGS4G go through the Fugu bootloop a couple of times. This is where your SGS4G gets Rooted.

10) Reboot to download mode once more

11) Close and re-open Heimdall. Click and browse the ORIGINAL zImage (NOT THE ZIMAGE_PATCH VERSION!!). Click start.

12) Let the unit flash, then reboot. Download busybox to verify Root.

I've done this a few times with my SGS4G. It works for mine, but I need a couple of guinea pigs to verify it.

Let me know!

good stuff sgyee it works great

A picture of the first file upload. Directories will be different from yours, but you should get the idea (if my post doesn't make sense) of where which file goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] heartspains88:
Plain KF1 gingerbread correct? No root or deodex implemented?

Figured it would be stated but just double checking.

Thanks as well!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sgyee:
Oops. I forgot to mention Root.

This will give you root. No deodex. Haven't gotten there yet nor will I have a chance to even try - I have a family reunion and other events this weekend, so I wanted to get the Heimdall only version out there.

I'll update the original post.

Never used Heimdall yet.

Will this do a data wipe of my device or will I retain all of my programs and program data if I do this?

This will wipe everything. If you use Titanium Backup, you will be able to do an app restore.

I went to install the Zimage patch, but now I am unable to get back into download mode, so I can't install it. Am I missing a step or something?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sgyee:
Nope. You MAY have to do the alternate download mode "method", which involves volume down, home, power, then insert battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] youngarty85:
Thanks. I did the steps above, but now, it just goes to the bootscreen and goes back to charging the phone. Very frustrating.

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazux:
Hi all! i wanted to start a FAQ thread because im sick of seeing/reading threads like "what is best custom ROM? please help", "need OC help, please help!" and other very useless threads. i come acrcoss these kind of threads almost every day :/ thats why i want to make this thread to minimize the amount of useless threads ;)

red = question color

green = answer color

@please make this thread sticky so it will always remain at the top :)

FAQ

1.) what ROM is best/stable/battery saver/fastest?

this is the MOST asked question of all time :D and short answer is:

test every available ROM!

everybody has their opinion and it is just stupid to make this kind of thread because most likely it is going to end up like this:

user24 says: InDroid is the best use that!

user25 says: lestatious is the best use that!

user26 says: no use kyrillos, its the best!

so DONT post threads like that!

2.) best filesystems to use?

most of the people say its:

stl6 ext4

stl7 ext4

stl8 ext2

3.) what is the best stock ROM?

almost everybody recommends JPM

4.) is there going to be official 2.3?

most likely NO!

5.) im from another SG forum and id like to flash SG3 ROM, can i do it? we have very similar specs

you can do it but it wont work!

6.) OMG, help me, kies wont recognize my phone and i cant revert back to official firmware!

Kies wont recognize your phone if its rooted, if you have flashed a custom ROM or if you have flashed unofficial samsung ROM!, so you need to find out what is the official firmware in your country then find that firmware on www.samfirmware.com and flash it via odin ;)

7.) is it dangerous to flash a custom ROM?

Most likely no but remember you are flashing on your own and the risks are still there no matter what ;)

8.) How to root android 2.2 FROYO?

use super1clickRoot, z4root wont work on 2.2!

9.) how do i know if my phone is hard bricked?

you CANT enter recovery, download (using 3 button (power+vol down+home button)) or boot the phone

10.) my phone CAN enter download mode but cant boot, is it soft brick?

yes it is! just flash another ROM and everything should be ok :)

ill add more FAQ´s later but now i got other things to do ;) oh and also you can suggest different kind of questions and answers you want me to add :)

also tell me what you think of this thread :eek:

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharukins:
4.) is there going to be official 2.3?

most likely NO!

samsung customer service germany told me yes lol

but is still to be confirmed by other users ^^

anyway I don't understand why people get so mad because of such threads, if you hate them, just ignore them. no one forces you to read or even answer o_O

I don't understand why people can't just use the search option as well. as they would geht their answer faster.

but hey, you're on the internet, not everyone's as smart as you. there are stupid users everywhere :D
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazux:
when i get confirmation that we will have 2.3 i will update it but now its most likely a no ;) also im not mad im just stunned because there are mny threads like this and that but nobody even cares to search for them and then they spam the forum... this SHOULD decrease haree's job on this forum, he has many, many other forums that he is in charge and with this thread i hope that his job will become easier and the forums will be cleaner :)

and because there are some lazy guys who cant/wont use the search tool this will most likely answer thse answers ;)
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dilzo:
The search tool is useless, if you get even a work wrong you have to wait 30secs and search again which is kinda pretty lame. So this thread is useful, thanks jazux.

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dharam_Maniar:

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazux:
true :( but now i have created poll (will make it public in a minute ;)) and it has 29 ROMs and 29 options... i looked trough every page on dev section and listed every ROM that is not closed/dead and with dl link available
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudolf895:
not all new roms last long you know..

I'm sure after the rom tutorial was out many new roms came up but lasted for less time..(no specific names please!)

So it wont matter much..

But if a new rom was really awesome and worth the entry in the poll haree could add a option(maybe) or could restart the poll with new option(definitely, this can be done by a mod)

Edit: Nice,jazux you looked for 29! Roms.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazux:
yep :D it took some time but why not? now hopefully we dont need to see any more "what is best custom ROM?" threads :)
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dharam_Maniar:

custom rom's are what makes our phone better enough to use :)

my question is "why MARCELLUSBE is still not a recognized developer"...now i know he's too humble and says all these LABELS doesn't bother him...but a little more recognition is necessary..I'm just sayin :)
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dharam_Maniar:
To become a recognized developer, there was a form that was open.

Once a member fills the form, the xda team then checks and approves.

I think marcellusbe hasnt filled the form or filled it pretty late, and so will take time.

But i am sure, once the team sees his application, they will promote him to recognized developer as soon as possible :)

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haree:
hi

as said by our friend he is quite right:)

but one correction recognized developer is not any kind of promotion is it just XDA s way of appreciating ur contribution to this forum and once u have applied their is a team of XDA senior Members who decide whether to give u the same or not

i had sent Pms to many devloppers to apply for the same some did and many did not

always look at the top left of the main page u would see various announcements:)

like right now we are looking for new Mods any one can apply for the same if the special team responsible for this feel u fit the bill then u would get the same:D
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haree:
hi

dear it has to be ur decision no one can tell u which is the best rom

u need to try then and decide which is confy to u

for example i have tried every single rom provided here. But today i have flashed the recent asia stok update DDJ4 i have rooted added fungumod & kyrillos aps2sd script and im happy with it because all i want is apps2d ,goodbattery life and im confy with touch wiz so this is the best for me :D

im 100% sure this is not what many of you want so how can what is best for me be the best for u it cannot right :)

and to all pls dont ask which is the best rom try a few and settle with which is confy for u:)

its like going to a bar full of people and asking them which is the best drink

ul get close to 100++ answers ud be so confused u might decided not to drink at all:):eek::confused::rolleyes::D
