Krylon only lists boot.bin and sbl.bin for KC1 here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098216

The guy connexion2005 on the same thread used them and also a PIT file (PIT FILE - http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=186) he created specifically for the SGS4G to restore a phone to KC1 with KC1 bootloaders, but the phone had never been on GB.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] perknite:
I'm remembering what exactly the bootloader is now. I guess it would make sense that it would be dangerous, being the basest level of operation for the device.

So tell me this. What are the negative ramifications of having the "corrupt" bootloader on your SGS4G? I am able to use CWM currently to go back and forth between roms. Is it the encryption that makes it all the more difficult to develop for and riskier to install a GB CWM (since you would have to install a new bootloader)?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] capo31:
I have the 3 button recovery working on my phone. I flashed the GB from samfirmware when it was posted and I hated it. I flashed through Odin the stock KC1 and it fixed my recovery problem. I have to press volume up and down plus power to get into recovery so I would believe its fixed
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
yea but i dont know if the kc1 bootloaders that krylon put up are good, later after he posted that he said on twitter that the kc1 bootloader was also i9000 bootloader like the GB rom

i could be wrong though
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
Correct. I think there was one set that wasn't, but when chadster tried to flash it, thats what blessed him with a hard brick.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
Download mode would also be a good test.

Turn your phone off, then hold the Volume Down + Power, does it go into Download mode? If not then your key mappings are back to froyo which would indicate no longer being on GB bootloaders as I understand it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
Correct... If you can't get into recovery manually... That's a good way, as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
See, I did the same thing, but my keymapping suggests it didnt work...at least not for me. I cannot get into recovery with the 3 button press.

Sent fro somewhere deep inside my head.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] capo31:
Ok when I hold down and power my phone just flashes the samsung screen. I can get into to download mode usin vol up+down and usb like before.,

I used the files Raver posted to fix mine. It was 4 files and I flashed them using Odin. So I went from the messed up GB to KC1 and now Im on KD1 running trigger :)

Also before I flashed I backed up and formatted my SD card. I cleaned the registry on my laptop and deleted any GB files I downloaded. I also re-installed my Samsung 64 bit drivers and restarted. Then I used Odin 1.7 to flash and that's it. I dont know if doing any of this helps but its what I done and I have no issues at all
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drhonk:
ODIN version of KD1 deodexed built by whitehawkx doesn't have bootloader in it, so you're still on GB bootloader. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] perknite:
This worked for me also. Whoever else tries this, make sure you load the ALL, Phone, CSC, and PIT files. I unchecked Re-Partition in Odin as well. This fixed my recovery. I now have 3-button salute recovery, and must do UP+DOWN and USB for Download mode.

Thanks, Raver, for all of your work, especially posting the KC1 with sbl and boot!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
yeah the KD1 deodexed didn't have any bootloaders in it... does "CWM backup" not backup the bootloaders? (I had a clean CWM backup prior to going to the leaked GB which I restored after ODIN'ing back)

Also is there any method to determine what bootloaders you are on? via adb?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
Doesn't back up bootloaders. Didn't back up mine anyways. I will be pulling files from my other phone when I get home in 4 hours. So we should all be good once krylon and drhonk get them.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
great work everyone! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizardslovak:
Well I like gb so far although bugs its still great rom...but for now I switch to froyo ...I am getting low memory every few mins ...call logs and stuff..until it ain't official ill stay aside..great rom tho
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
So I guess what I'm trying to figure out is this then...

I can manually boot into recovery via the 3-button salute. I can addtionally boot into download mode via the key mapping for froyo.

GB key mapping for getting into download mode (VOL Down + USB cable or Power) do not boot into download mode.

So is that the definitive way to determine if you are back on froyo bootloaders? My understanding is that it's not I guess, based on DrHonk's comment.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
ok try this see if anything changes

ONLY IF YOU WANT TO

but since you have the buttom mappying back, flash whitehawkx deodexed kf1 rom and see if you still have the same button mapping, see if everthing sticks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
I'll do that later tonight at home and I'll let you know what I find out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
fyi I already ran:

adb bugreport | find "bootloader"

which returned back that the bootloader was unknown... not sure if that would return something different for someone who has a stock untouched phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
oh and ur welcome the kc 1 i posted i flashed to my phone first to make sure it was all well and good :"P

Is the GB rom worth it. Honestly i wish i woldnt have flashed it it became a nightmare rom after we found out what had happned.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
No $hit ... lol oh well. So the thread you posted about recooked gb fixes the boot and sbl files from the i9000 bootloaders to the correct ones for our device?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
correct. also why the kc1 i posted got u back the pre ginger ones.

Until the official comes out.

Honestly, GB was amazingly fast and smooth for me, other that minor bugs (call logs, sms notifications etc.) and the locked bootloaders, it wasn't bad stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
It wasn't bad just should not have been released. The borked bootloaders made modifying recovery or getting into recovery a major pain. Thank god for kc1 with bootloaders.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] qroche85:
+1 I love how fast and smooth GB brings to the phone. Minor issues and bootloader won't bother me much :-) I've been using it as my daily driver.

Hey guys I saw this sweet mod for the Xoom, it shows your battery percentage in the place of the battery icon on the bottom right corner. Anyone know how to do this? Can we use the UOT kitchen like we do on our phones?

This is what I'm talking about.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Archangel:
I have it on my xoom and yes it is sweet only do not load as it is now cause it will send you into bootloops.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] :
You need to wait and load a deodexed ROM. The files have to be deodexed before you can run it through the kitchen. IDK if it supports Android 3.x files yet or not.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] kbzona:
Hi, i was experiencing an issue when connecting my phone to the car bluetooth radio... It actually connects and i can play sounds but here is the problem: whenever it plays a sound or when i use gps with voice directions, the sound comes out but its cut... for example, gps says "Turn left" but in car loudspeakers i hear "rn Left"... it is like if the bluetooth had a delay in transmit the audio or something like that.. please help me

thnx in advance
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dislplin01:
Are you using andy rom cause I hear there is a bluetooth bug with the quality
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kbzona:
Ohh, i forgot to say that i have stock rom... i'm waiting for gingerbread :P

Well, maybe is a problem with rom, i hope it will be fixed in gingerbread, or i'll move to a modded rom
[Optimus One, P500, V General] t3b4n:
I has that trouble with stock gingerbread rom leaked. If you are using the same rom from the factory, maybe an update could help you.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dislplin01:
What does the stock gingerbread rom score in quadrant??? And have you installed a custom kernel can you overclock???
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
You cannot install any custom kernel on that. Custom kernel -> no GSM.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kbzona:
Well, i installed 2.2.2; 2.2; 2.2 Noejn devoid froyo final, and guess what, the bluetooth issue is still there, i think i should give 2.3.3 a try, or install cm7....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] fratermus:
I have run several kernels over stock 2.2 and over CM7RC1 and never lost GSM. I have heard that data is affected in some scenarios, so if that is what you mean I did not test that. I do not pay for data.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kbzona:
Well, finally i installed mik_os rom and bluetooth issue i had was finally gone BUT, i've just found that i cant do bluetooth calls with CAR radio :( thats very dissapointing since i use car everyday and need bt call over radio, and if i dont find a way to solve this i'll need to go back to a 2.2 or something.... any help? i'll try another kernel and see if it works

PS: Cyanogenmod = best thing since sliced bread IMHO!!!, waiting for a fix to be perfection1!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kbzona:
The only workaround that i can think right now is to use a noiseless mp3 and repeat it forever... In fact i already did it, and well its a dirty dirty workaround but it works anyway.... Bluetooth stays "active" all the time, thus not taking a delay when recalling it and eating portions of sound :P
[HTC Inspire 4G] frostmore:
If i were to flash my inspire 4g with CM7 rom and say flash the inspire 4g with a radio and ril from dhd,would that mean i am able to use the inspire 4g with the 3g frequency being used in europe and the rest of asia?

I understand that the 3g frequency used by at&t(850/1900) is different from the rest of the world,say singapore or france(2100) of course by flashing a dhd radio,i lose 4g connectivity but thats fine by me since i like experimenting.

i understand also that most htc phones are quad band and i4g's hardware is not that much different than dhd.

Is what i suggesting possible?or this is a hardware issue rather than a software issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] joec651:
The frequencies depends on the hardware

Now we have S-Off for HBOOT 1.06 (CDMA)

This will allow you to use UNREVOKED 3.0 to root your phone. Enjoy!!!!:)

[Desire Android Development] dmatik:
Do I miss something, but what new in it for Desire?

We already have S-OFF with Alpharev 1.80.

Why do we need AlpharevX?
[Desire Android Development] kev94:
Pretty simple : Those who had HBOOT > 0.93.0001 couldn't S-off their device before. Now, it seems they can. Then you won't need this unless you have this kind of HBOOT.
[Desire Android Development] Flashmaniac:
not true. I have been able to s-off with 0.93.0001. Thats not the point of it.
[Desire Android Development] Bananebieger:
I also checked my Desire and I got S-Off with Alpharev 1.80 and HBOOT 0.093.0001.

So, whats the difference?
[Desire Android Development] wings400:
Should this NOT be in the dev-forum?

Sent from my bicycle with no wheels
[Desire Android Development] krytak:
i only updated with new HBOOT and never used alpharev beta tool (only the old one). Check my sign...
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
This is specifically for CDMA users and newer HTC devices. It also means you don't have to root as you're already S-OFF - you can just flash a new ROM after flashing a custom recovery
[Desire Android Development] jan-willem3:
> = higher then hboot 0.93.0001.

So if your hboot is higher then 0.93.0001. You cant get s-off so his info is correct.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
You don't even have to run unrevoked. Once they have S-Off some people have rooted by fastboot flashing a custom recovery, then flashing superuser as a zip. There's a tutorial thread over in AndroidForums (Desire All Things Root forum).

Presumably a pre-rooted ROM would also work at this point, but I guess this allows you to run Ti backup etc before doing that (or keep the current ROM).

Edit: Of course anyone doing it this way must make sure they flash the correct recovery for their device (GSM or CDMA). I believe that it's only (some) CDMA devices which have HBOOT 1.06, so most can just use unrevoked without this. And remember it's still in beta at the moment.

But it means that previously unrootable Desires can now be rooted :D
[Desire Android Development] Scotsman828:
Yes this is for CDMA version of Desire. I tried Unrevoked before this came out and could not get root. After I ran the Alpharev to get S-Off, I got root with Unrevoked. Had to run Unrevoked so I could get ClockworksMod recovery. It was a really simple process, no need to create a special CD. I quickly canned the HTC ROM for CM7. Data worked without APN restore. Life is good:)
[Desire Android Development] Ultrakiller:
once you're s-off, you should to flash recovery through fastboot. Now you're able to flash any rom :cool:;)

Think again! I own TB since March and the battery is the worst thing i eva seen. Pls spare me all the tips abt charging the phone, i have tried themall. If i turn on lte, the phone will not last me more than 5 hours and it was not even heavy use. Please keep this in mind if u want to switch.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ajd88:
My gf has a charge I have a thunderbolt. Running a good Rom and kernel pretty much takes care if battery issues for me. I get about 2 hours more than hers with about the same usage. If you compare both using stock roms than yes the charge will last longer though.

Is she rooted and running a custom ROM as well, or are you comparing custom ROM to stock?
[Verizon Droid Charge] quattr0:
I'm giving up with running custom ROMs. Been there, done that. I just need a phone that works. Wait...there isn't one but really I just need a decent phone. I feel like I'm going down that road again using Android...ya know that Linux tinkering when Slackware was installing from floppies and the ego "I could do whatever I want" with it. Maybe I need to switch to the dark side for a break :)

If I switch to 3G on TB, I will have about 30% left by the end of the day. If I give the phone to my son so he could play a litto game or watch litto utube, I better have somewhere to charge the phone right away. It also depends on where you're at as far as LTE coverage goes. I think I have decent coverage (12mb/s dl; 2-3mb/s upload)

I'm confident that Samsung will release new firmware to address some of the issues. Don't think switching to a different phone, you won't have issue(s). For TB, I will seriously think twice as the known battery issue.

OP sounds like he needs to buy an iphone or a crackberry. Great battery life, no tinkering required.

I currently have active TB, Charge, Nexus S, iPhone 4.

Battery life - iP4 the best, then NS, then a total tossup on the TB/Charge.

Form Factor - NS the best, TB, Charge, iP4.

Screen/Display - Charge best, iP4, NS, TB horrible.

Call quality/coverage - VZW is great at both, AT&T is decent coverage, but call quality not top notch, T-Mobile terrible coverage, decent call quality.

The TB has a wonderful advantage, for my usage habits, over all the other VZW offerings in that it has the simultaneous voice/data over 3G. No other phone on VZW can do that yet.

A friend saw I had both phones on my desk yesterday; she asked about both since she wants a new one. She assumed the Charge was my favorite for some reason, but when she flat out asked I told her all things considered, the TB had a slight edge over the Charge.

I'd recommend either phone, but I'd also say they both must be rooted and tweaked to be of much use. The TB battery is much better on BAMF, but it still sucks, than stock, and the Charge is a laggy piece of cow dung if you leave it stock RFS file system.
[Verizon Droid Charge] smgrimes:
I had the thunderbolt since launch day - and the one really, and only "killer" is svdo over 3g. Battery life killed me, as did the shoddy build quality (3 cln replacements in 3 weeks). The screen also was far far far too washed out in direct sunlight (didnt really noticed until summer, dang those grey New England days!). I ended up having VzW executive customer service swap my Bot for a new Charge - whilst my Thunderbolt would burn 15% mostly standby to 20% using the device on LTE or about 8-10% over 3g. I'm still a slave to wifi at home with the Charge, but at least the screen is usable outdoors and I can make it approximately 10 hours on 4g/18 forced to 3g/24+ on wifi. The LTE radio in all of these phones are the killers.

With that said, LTE speed overall really isnt needed, at least until video chat (or 2.3.4) is available and stable. I do really miss svdo over 3g from the bolt, thankfully Boston metro is blanketed in 4g, but I'm finding the Charge quite possibly the best overall 4G device on VzW especially after the debloat and voodoo mods.

OOB though with no modifications? Thunderbolt. If you can deal with the absolutely terrible battery life (on 4g) and are never out in the sun and need to see your display.

But the Charge's screen is superb, the phone is more comfortable to hold for an extended period of time, and battery life is head and shoulders better. I'm just scared that 2.3.4 will not make it on time, due to Samsung's terrible track record with updates and Skype with video will stall for Android on a whole.

Edit - I also absolutely hate TouchWiz. LauncherPro saved the day in that regard as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
I had 1% battery drain overnight while the phone idled for 6 hours. I turned mobile data off at the time. 1%.

Right now the battery is at 75% and has been off of the charger for 12 hours and 17 minutes. The phone has been on constant 4G from ~6:45am until now, 12:41pm.

I love my battery life :)

Neither are front facing cameras, 8MP cameras, Super AMOLED+ displays, etc.

They're just nice to have.
[Verizon Droid Charge] smgrimes:
Who said they weren't? ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] SoCalNewb:
I just switched from a stock rooted TB to a Charge. My thoughts:

-Like everyone else, TB battery life was dismal in 4G areas. Even with the extended battery it was very poor.

-Screen on TB is *very* hard to see outside.

-TB pretty freaking heavy.

-HTC's Sense UI is a lot prettier than Samsung's UI.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dcc123:
How are you getting this kind of battery life. I'm running Gummycharged 1.7.5 with the PBJ OTC kernal (not overclocked though), and I lose 20% over eight hours while I'm sleeping.

[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
As I said in the kernel thread, if you are going to stick with stock clock speeds, you will get better battery life on the non-OC version of my kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
I'm normally in a decent to strong 4G area, and I really don't see a huge difference in battery life between the TB and DC, but this week I've been working in a location that's 3G only, and in a building where the coverage is weak for data.

In this circumstance, the battery life between my Droid and my Thunderbolt is very dramatic. Whether it's just physically a better radio, or a better software for it, the Charge's battery life is amazing compared to the Thunderbolt's. This morning, after not even three hours, my Charge still had 90% battery life, my Thunderbolt was down to 48%. Neither phone had been used for anything; they were both just idle on my desk. Amazing.

The Charge clearly handles weak signals better than the TB in this area (Santa Clarita, CA - near Magic Mountain just north of Los Angeles).

I currently have an HD2 running an Android 2.2.1 nand. I have tried the newer 2.3 Nands but the phone seems slow with them.

Is it worth upgrading to the Sensation?

Where is the best deal to be had? I'm probably 1.5 years into my 2 year contract. The price for the upgrade with 2 year extension on the Tmobile website is $384 per phone. I'd almost rather pay them the $550 with no contract.

Any suggestions?
