Steps to make sure you don't screw up your GB Upgrade.

Sorry, I do not have that problem, so can't find any solutions. But I'm sure someone here will figure it out sooner than later.

For all who might wanna know, here's how I went about the upgrade. If you follow these steps exactly as laid out, you should not have any issues (unless you have a broken phone!):

1. Make all your backups using TB. Don't forget to move the TB folder to Ext_SD or PC after backing up.

2. Factory reset phone using manual code. (*2767*3855#)

3. Get into recovery mode and wipe all.

4. Now flash the new ROM as usual (latona and then the remaining 4 files.) Be sure not to make any lame errors here.

5. Factory reset again using manual code.

6. Now check to see if the power button functions and the phone reboots when you ask so. (It should work.)

7. Check camera. If you have a black screen, its okay. :)

8. Factory reset again using manual code.

9. Redo flash procedure again.

10. Factory reset again.

11. Check power button issue and camera. Both should be totally fine.

12. Press power button to lock and leave device for 10 mins. Now, press power button to check if the device wakes up as normal. It should. If you want to avoid the device being woken up by calls or texts or other notifications, just put it into flight mode and turn off Wi-Fi.

13. Root using SuperOneClick. It will show up Kernel Panic error in the end, but its no problem.

14. Just pull battery after that and restart phone. You should see SuperUser installed and working. Upgrade Busybox to 1.18.4 by Stericson.

15. Now install TB and go about your restoring business. DO NOT restore any system apps. Just restore User Apps and data.

16. If you didn't **** up any of the above, you should be up and running 2.3.4 without any issues (yet!).

thanks matte...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
NO. NO. And NO. How many times do people have to be told that a ROM for a particular model is for that model and that model only!

Do not assume, its a law of Droid! :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
God darn! Now you've gone from flashing your phone to flashing your PC? :p

Anyway, I was having the same issue and a uninstall & reinstall of the drivers solved it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Do you think when I know the solution, will i make blunder? I tried uninstall and reinstall 3 times and it dint work, so finally I was left with this option. Software(s) can go crazy any moment for no reason:p.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
LOL... I know mate ;)

Thankfully haven't had to go through the PC reinstallation nightmare ever since I moved to Win 7. I still remember those crazy ol' XP days though.. and the crazier 98 days too. But why did you have to reinstall 7, what went so wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
You're welcome. Let us know how it goes.

About i9003XXKP7

Last night i flashed my phone from default i9003XXKB3 into i9003XXKP7

First boot,

1. boot sound were differents

2. camera hung up, only black screen

3. CSC error, check it with *#1234#

Tried to re flash with same parameters

1. camera hung up solved

2. CSC detected

3. Kernel PANIC after root attempt with SuperOneClick 1.91

What i don't like :

1. The phone significantly warmer now, although i just open few program

2. battery drains

3. Google Earth can't detect my location

4. Yahoo messenger VideoCall doesn't work!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] matapollos:
I had the same probs as you, and the most important for me is the red one. I also tried to root my device and it happened to me too!! what is more, i was able to turn on my mobile, and to use it a few minutes... but then when i turned off the screen to save battery, it crashes. and it's happening each time my screen gets darker :S

i solved it unrooting it, but that's a pain in the ass, cos i wanted to deodex my phone again... :(

cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ivan08v:
I had kernel panic upload mode twice..what does it means?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
They said it's normal when you flashed with GB and rooted.. Just reboot your phone and it will be rooted.. Well, you need to root first before rebooting..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] matapollos:
yeah, that worked for me... but as i said, then when my creen turns off, it crushes again!

and it haven't been solved until i unrooted my device :S

Try this equalizer application from market only for android 2.3.3 + devices

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer&feature=search_result

The audio quality and effects are amazing... atlast we are having a very good audio..

This app uses the newly added audio api in 2.3.3 to make this sound effects
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jesrani:
@Bala_gamer, would you recommend flashing to GB for everyday use?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
As far as im concerned im going to use it from now, and wont go back to froyo. Of course you will some bit of problem here and there as it seems to be a pre beta rom. But i havent faced any problem so far except the SOD. So if we come up with a solution for SOD this ROM seems to much stable for me. I havent tried restoring my backups yet.

Only recommended for advanced users who knows what they are doing

After a few attempts i managed to upgrade my phone to XXKP7.

Was quite happy seeing gingerbread .... slight performance improvement.

Setback was that camera not working . Also phone goes blank after some time.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
Yup its fixed by itself, its working good from this morning.. So Strange!

It seems SOD can be fixed by disabling the default lock app and by using some other lock application as previously said by some other users. SOD was the only issue bugging.. now the phone is pretty stable no crash.

* None of the froyo based camera applications working here.

* I did had strange artifact like noises in camera last night, It occurs exactly after we try to play some incompatible video files and using camera right away... strange .. but thats the way it occured

XXKP7 feedback

Flashed to XXKP7 & got the camera issue but power button working. Though it fixed automatically after a reboot but video player refused to work. So reflashed & all the issues were fixed. These are my experiences:

Got a kernel panic when rooting by Super One click. On reboot everything was fine & phone rooted.

No SOD or random reboots, though I got a kernel panic mode once on idle,

Phone overalls feels zappier

Total RAM increased from 478 to 487 MB :p

All previous games as Asphalt 6, Real Football work great :cool:

Video Playback has definitely improved. More smoother.

Best one is that GPS now locks instantly even indoors.(Though I could not access LbsTest Mode)

That is about all my experiences till now.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Hmmm.. I think the kernel panic is because of rooting twice.. As i have read a few pages back XXKP7 is already rooted and deodexed.. All you need to do after flashing is install superuser in thr market..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanu_invincible:
Did you guys try running mkv 720p clip on default player?? has the playback improved?

And what about the TV out? MAny speculated that it would come with the gingerbread?

and anyone tried running HD games? any improvement??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanu_invincible:
Did you guys try running 720P mkv videos on the stock player?

any noticeable improvements in the video playback?and also anyone tried running the HD games?any improvements as such?and what about TV out? many speculated that it would be included in GB..?And lastly,is it advisable to Flash this ROM?..what about the SOD bug? how exactly to Fix it , Bala Bro any suggestions on this?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
The pit file is attached in krraazzyy's thread.. DXKB2 has only one file when when u extract it right? If so just put the file in PDA with no pit file.. Read krazy's thread for more info..

Reached 10 hours of uptime without any kernel panic or SOD issues after replacing the lockscreen with WidgetLocker. So I guess gingerbread is stable for most purposes now.

Though it might be unrelated, My External SD Card went corrupt today morning. Works fine after reinserting it & reformatting it on the phone.

I cant find most of the features that must have come with gingerbread though. For instance I'm unable to configure my sip accounts natively. Any ideas as to how it can be fixed?

Update: Fix explained in this thread

So after going through all feedback from guys already on gb, its quite clear that the gb version we got is still not good enough for day2day use. Pls correct me if am wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Novim:
If i could just get the phone to wake after deep sleep and not have to take the battery out, i think i would use it everyday. Have had no others problems whatsoever.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rb210:
I was planning to do that. I'll get to it soon. I myself haven't flashed GB yet, but I know about the issues with the camera, power button, SIP and SOD. If there are any other issues, possibly with a solution let me know and I'll include that when I update the first post.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
i m asking this 4th time....

does this version support tv out & usb on the go support...? Nobody is giving answer to my question....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] clrsri2006:
hey plug the usb cable you phone only, but not to computer and then try .. i had the same problem. the usb cable might work as a jig to put the phone to download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala242:
pls don't repost. usb on the go but still no tv-out
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Guys, if you read my posts y'day, you'd know that I did not have any problems with this ROM y'day.. Well, that changed later in the night :/

SOD appeared! Twice. And it happened even when the device went to sleep by itself.

I left it like that after the second SOD, did not pull battery. In the morning, the battery was completely dead. I pulled battery and then switched it on and left it to charge.

It hasn't appeared since. Also, I use WidgetLocker and disabled the stock lock screen.

Not sure if its the stock lock screen or the battery stats that's the culprit, but lets see..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:

sorry to repost...anyway really does this support usb on the go support??? means we can connect pen drive like on nokia n8...?? have u tried that...???

have u also tried OTG? i think its coolest feature of nokia...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Bala, I strongly suspect "stagefright" is the issue. Try disabling it in build.prop and check, if you haven't tried it already that is..

Ok so it seems no problems so far. Phone hasnt acted weird. I guess its safe to say its ok to flash back to FROYO from GB. Considering people have doubts. Altho there are a few concerns. Camera works fine and the phone feels a little more responsive. Unlike previously where i had random hiccups. Probably Widget Locker caused it.

hopeful that in the official 2.3.4 release this feature will be present.. -

Seems that tons of people don't bother skimming the thread before jumping in and then posting back with a question that has been answered many of times already.

common ones:

what is the password to unrar the firmware

how do I fix my camera

my power button does not work

how do I fix SOD

come on people - this not noob, just lazy - spend an hour of your time reading through this tread before you flash and come back crying..

It is obvious this is development release - deoxed and pre-rooted.

The official release should hit in first week of july - stop whining and wait few weeks before you criticize sammy for a half baked firmware --

* this firmware was not meant for public consumption *
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
It might help.. Not sure, some codec issue could be the reason. Hit and miss..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
It could well be due to kernel. Many a times SOD is related to kernel incompatibility. Did anyone with SOD took logcat? does it give any idea? May be this could indicate the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
SOD exists.. F@#^in hell..!

Widget Locker didn't help, disabling stock lock screen didn't help either..

It happens if I leave it untouched for about 15-20 mins, like a moody girlfriend :-$

really we r missing skin member...he is really expert in coding...he will definitely solve the SOD problem...!!!"

oh my my :-) GB for our beauties ;-)

Hi,

Yes I am back and happy to be among you all :-) Really missed you guys (no, nurses were beautiful ;-))

I read a few pages and concluded that this is a great beta release. Congrats sammy :-)

Regarding SOD it is due to power management. May be some wrong flag in kernel. I will look into it. Can someone provide me with logcat entries of error ?

Regarding USB-OTG I will test it once I flash ;-) I have the cables.

Thanks !

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Novim:
I had logcat recorder until it crashed, i personally have absolutely no clue when it comes to code but maybe it makes sense too you. In a pdf file since mac and windows text files dont always play nice.

@everyone

Thank you so much for such a warm welcome :-)

This love and support of yours brought me back from a nightmare. Thanks !

@bala

We are looking for E, errors.

More than knowledge of coding what matters most is knowledge of how an OS exactly works. That is the most important thing. Coding is not a big deal.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
Here is my logcat dump, it seems to be a powermanagement issue as said by rex :)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Bala, could you paste the relevant error section here. Not getting able to download :-(

Guys, just try with maximum screen timeout setting and also remove widgets like battstat that deals with power in any way. Plz report back.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Tol, It took about 2 flashes, dont know why but that seems to be the case. Lockscreen can be fixed by a temporary WidgetLocker. Since the app is always open and forces the phone to be awake on response. Only problem is its a heavy battery eater and its super touch sensitive. Keeping your phone in your pants and it tends to create shortcuts due to long press when phone touches your skin for long period of time.

@spacebar LMFAO Moody gf. True on that. I don't know how to fix it btw. Widget locker seems to work somehow. But i hate using it. And at this point i think the command isnt getting relayed. That or the phone reads the sleep signal as shut off. Since Widget locker keeps the phone alive. But drains it deadfast.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Welcome back rex.! We are looking forward for the custom rom you are working on.. Cheers.!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskaran:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
I think I have solved SOD problem. Need some testing.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
That's good news.. If this firmware would be stable enough i will flash it directly without hessitation :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Welcome back mate.. so good to see you here again :) Hope you're much better now..

The SOD is actually more annoying than I thought it'd be. I'm trying to get a logcat but the damn thing just dies before I can save it. If I save it before the screen switches off then the log won't be of much use anyway.

Trying to figure out something, will report back in a few mins.

@misledz - Yeah mate, annoying in the same way is what I meant (that "you don't love me anymore" thing if you didn't call her for a few hours! LOL..)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Great! I can get a logcat for you if you still want another one though..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:

have u checked USB-OTG???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] SuckMe:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] surajram:
Update on the SOD issue.

I didnt have an SOD issue the entire day ever since I installed WidgetLocker last night.

Then I discovered, by accident that disabling EasyWake (Wake Up with any hardware key) on WidgetLocker caused the SOD issue again. So I guess that was what kept the Issue away all this while.
