LOL, :D you don't yet know the plethora of articles I've written all over the place over the past couple years about that! :rolleyes:

Pity that I can't give out my id here for professional reasons..

Yeah, I tried talking Joel and the guys at CM into it, but they won't buy it! This device came at a time when GS2 was (still is) THE rage and to make things worse (for us), Samsung donated a bunch of those to the CM team!

Completely OT:

Been an EDM fan & DJ for years now, got into production 2 years ago. Whole different science and whole new level of dedication.

Optimus 2X has a good community with reasonable support but GS2 has it all owned..

Not cruel mate, I just could not take that anymore! :rolleyes:

I think Google should sue the c**p out of Apple for the notification bar pull-down! But only if they were sick enough to have patented it earlier! That US PTO is a terrible joke, you know what I mean if you're aware of the lawsuits and the ridiculous patents Apple holds. They make me sick, honestly. Sour, terrible at handling competition and overall nanny firm. :mad:

I don't know how you've managed to scratch the Gorilla glass! I have none on mine in 4 months. Its as pristine as it was out of the box. The plastic back has scratches but not the screen.

"Pity that I can't give out my id here for professional reasons.."

you can if you change your profession to upsetting apple fanboys ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Wait wait..So your saying the i9003 has a Gorilla glass?! ಠ_ಠ --If so then why the **** am i using a damned scratch proof screen protector, what the ****?! The sticker is what has scratches from my beloved jeans. I think it was worth keeping, sometimes the phone is too damned sensitive. Phone lights up, I move my leg, And phone unlocks itself on skin contact, IN THE JEANS. Like what the ****?! The sticker makes the skin contact harder alot more frustrating tho :\..

OT

Been a big fan of house,techno,trance and anything that gets the room booming with bass. So far been amazed with the Nyan cat rave ROFL

Google should have, But probably didn't claim that patent since Android is an OpenSource OS. Didn't think they had any patents on it in the first place, Apart from the OS being OpenSource. What put me in the highest of rage levels, MAX RAGE, I've been upto date with their patents "Unlocking a screen using a touch gesture" patient to "Multi touch" patent, Also the fact that in the video, The jackass quoted to the notification bar "Apple is the first to come up with this sort of gesture, It's a revolutionary feature" I literally felt like sparta kicking his face! Infact, EVERYTHING about the iOS5 is a complete android ripoff. I think this is their cheap getback over rights to patent claims. Steal what makes android an "Android" and paste it on an "Apple" so applefanboys can rage over the fact that "Apple's the first before android n00b", The first person who says that, I'm hunting them down...and their dog too.:cool:

PS- The use of your English, Makes me feel like a sand bedouin :( I need to start abusing hardcore terms.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Aye Major.. the SL has a gorilla glass! :)

I used a screen guard for a few days but then realised its like protecting a ballistic vest with a winter jacket! Took it off and no surprises yet!

I don't know about your pocket and how it unlocks itself.. it needs a big slide to the corner to unlock ya' know.. :rolleyes:

OT:

I'm particular about the kind. Trance and progressive only. NO techno, no cheesy house (progressive & deep house is cool).. Rave is a sin word btw.. :p

Do not want to talk about Apple anymore.. another day perhaps.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Yea, I agree with you :D, Also epic part on the Winter jacket ROFL. Think, I might take it off though, The glass feels epic. Also, I LOL'd literally at the big slide, And i assure you "that" hasn't slided the phone to unlock in any situation :rolleyes:.

OT

PM me a few tracks or recommended ones you'd suggest. I prefer a variety that way music never feels like it's wearing out, Aka Rap -.-. Thanks a million :)

Aye chief, Thanks for the words of wisdom..Now to rip off the screen protector..

edit: THE GLASS IS SO SHINY >;[! I've changed professions to "Cat" just to admire the shiny screen.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
LOL..

Big slide don't happen here, nothing to do with either "devices" mind you..! ;)

OT off to PM now.

ps - Enjoy your tamed Gorilla!

You might want to add that if SD Card is inserted then it wont enter Download mode after downloading Pit file. Atleast that is what happened to me. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
When i enter download mode i always have my sd card insterted.. The proper way is to remove the battery for about 5 seconds then put it back and enter download mode :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
What ephraim said, I've done the same aswell, It's faster to take out the battery than the sd thing

What will happen if I did not flash the bootloader[xxkpe]??

So according to the first post, we do not need to flash latona.pit if we are flashing xxkpe the second time as there are issues[xxkpe]??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
First flash yes, You need latona file.

Second flash no, Without the latona file.

Well :cool: Not sure, But your phone becomes highly unstable.

Actually more like, You flash twice for a safety measure
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
What does the bootloader file do??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
In simple terms, a bootloader is the code that runs on a device (be it a phone or computer) before the operating system starts up. Almost all operating systems have bootloaders of some sort. This low-level code contains the instructions that tell a device how to start up and find the system kernel. The bootloader usually lives on the system board in non-volatile memory and is often specific to a device. It has to be, since the software and hardware loadout will vary so much from one device to the next.

Every time your phone starts up, that bootloader code is telling your device what to do in order to get you to the home screen. As you can imagine, this process is vitally important. As such, manufacturers often use security measures to keep you from tampering with the bootloader. Why would you want to? Well, there's a whole internet full of custom ROM makers to entice you. It can be a lot of fun if you don't mind voiding your warranty.

To top it off, Bootloader's are a must if you plan to use custom ROM's like Cyanogen or any future releases.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
Oh... Just to tell you bro i have ported cm7 to our device but still have some bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
Can i only post screen shots on pc? If so i only can post the screens tomorrow. Anyways i have already uploaded the screens on dropbox. By the way, i am using xda premium app[of course].
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Anything :) It's good to know there's hope for this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
Okay, i think i only can post pictures using computer?? I will be posting it tomorrow then. In the meantime, let me tell you the bugs first.

1) the market is the old one(greyish)and cannot update.

2) the firmware version is somwhat written as dxkb2 and build number is written as froyo.dxkb2.)have no idea why.

3) the adw settings are not listed in the main setting menu, they are in a seperate menu(like adw launcher, have no idea why as well??)

4) the notification bar is like the stock froyo's(probably because i have used some coded source codes of froyo as that is the only way to port as we do not have full gb source codes for our phone yet, there are also some files that are coded from the sgs9000 gb source. I have tried to code as much gb source codes that are compatible with our phone as possible but some still has to be replaced by froyo coded files)

These are the bugs i found so far.

Will maybe post a new thread tomorrow too.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mssaleh:
Hello,

I just wanna ask: why Bootloader is a must? it was my first time flashing my phone from froyo to GB and I didn't upgrade the bootloader. My phone is working fine and i had no bugs so far. Did I make any mistakes by not upgrading the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
You should not use the update bootloader option from Odin, rather use the APBootloader file given by the firmware. It's a must for GB. It's best not to explain to avoid confusion. Long story short. It's critical.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rdr_m:
misledsz buddy i followed your instructions step by step.but at the end of flashin i saw on my phone screen a msg lyk e:/efs not augmented.and now i have a phone witout any imei and doesnt detect any network.i hav flashed back to my previous firmware ddkb2 but no luck.what i dont get is i dint do any thing wrong bt still i end up with a prblem that i was so afraid of in the first place.i have flashed numerous times since then bt no luck.it doesnt detect simcard.and each tym at the end of flashin i see the msg on phone screen efs not mounted.i guess the firmware sumhow corrupted my efs data.bt am i the only one here???and how can an official firmware do this???btw i had my simcard inside my phone the whole tym of flashin.bt i reckon that wasnt the prblem.so any suggestions for me any one.and what should i tell at the service centre???o and i dint check efs clear box.so that wasnt the prb either.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Just reflash XXKB3 twice, then flash only the PDA of the DDKB2, It should work fine. Also let it load the default options from Odin, Don't select any or tick any boxes in Odin. Just place the files. Flash. Place PDA. Flash. That should work.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rdr_m:
downloading xxkb3 ryt now.should i pit before flashinf xxkb3???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Yeap. But only once. You need to flash the latona file once. Remove battery as instructed. Then place it back again and boot into Download mode. Then flash XXKB3 once *Once is good enough* then your DDKB2 PDA.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
DO you mean that if we are flashing xxbb3 twice then latona should be used once and the second time, we should flash it without latona
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
While flashing ANY firmware twice, you do not need to flash the latona second time.

Blank Screen after flashing with XXKPE

Hi guys,

I am a newbie to android. I just tried flashing my i9003 with gingerbread xxkpe, but while flashing my screen went blank. I tried restarting phone into download mode, but i only see a blank screen.

Plsss help.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
please tell us step by step on what you did..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidi9003:
I started my phone in download mode i.e. i could see the downloading icon. I connected the usb cable to laptop and it detected the com number. I ran Odin3_v1.83.exe. i checked Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time and selected file latona_20110114.pit. I clicked Start button. As soon as i did this the downloading icon was gone and all i could see was blank screen.

Now i cannot start the phone in normal or download mode, all i see is blank screen.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
After flash the pit file, the phone screen turn blank is correct. And odin show pass?

Can read again the flash guide
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
Remove battery. put it back, and try to go to Download mode

Also always read instruction properly
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
@Facepalm Combo Duo, Yes chong and androidi9003. There is a reason this was posted in about 3

MAJOR

threads including falex the guy who made the FAQ thread and stated there. Don't be lazy and READ, the faint light is a common thing, Your supposed to pull out the battery. Don't be lazy to pop open the cover. It's like a girl, be gentle with it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
Ha-ha-ha-ha!!!! :)) I love you, man!!! you are the best!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidi9003:
Odin didnot show PASS
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
It shows "Reset" its's supposed to, then it will reboot into a black screen, Then you lay it like a girl, And pop it's cover.

Note: Your GF will probably get mad, Make sure she's not around

@falex Hahaha thanks man ;D Same with you
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
Post you odin screen, may get more info form there
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
..You don't need an Odin screen to know that you need to remove your battery and put it back in after your done flashing your pit. If you don't trust my instructions it's upto you, But people have followed the same and successfully flashed.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidi9003:
do you mean to say i rerun the odin and post the screen??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Either I'm invisible or neither of you are actually listening, I shall just leave you both to flash one another's phones :D!

/exit
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidi9003:
Hi misled, I was trying to reply you but there was sth called 5 minutes interval before being able to post.

As you have said I have removed my battery after laying it like a girl and popping the cover ;). Still i am getting the blank screen. Am i missing sth??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Oh, the 10 post rule. Pretty lame if you ask me.

Anyways, I hope you removed the battery and put it back in. Once you have, Make sure your USB is not plugged then turn it on into download mode with the 3 button combo. Get that far then tell me (:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidi9003:
bravo man i am in the download mode.... yipeee....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidi9003:
Do i do repeat the pit download again or proceed with the flash??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
just proceed :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Pit only just once. After you've done it the first time, that's it. That's just a file that tells your phone to set the size of the HDD of the phone and to wipe it clean and prepare it for a clean flash. As sak said, Proceed my child, with the blessings of Samsudda
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidi9003:
Ok great. flashing is completed. phone rebooted successfully and i see gingerbread screen. Just one thing more - do i need to go for factory reset. It does say in the steps but just being extra precautionary. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Factory Reset is a must just so you don't get errors. I'd suggest you do so aswell to avoid your phone screwing up as this is your first GB experience, I hope you read the part after where I posted you need to flash this FW twice, 2nd time without the pit. This is to fix issues that came with the beta. Hopefully you won't quote and say "It's ok with one flash", but I implore you to do so as it makes a huge difference.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidi9003:
Thanks man. I have gone with factory reset and done flashing second time.

Thanks a ton..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Oh, another basic thing I'm learning tonight. Hadn't done yet any single factory reset after flashing.

Btw what do you mean by "this is to fix issues that came with the beta"? Do you mean Cf-Root beta? [paranoid mod]
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
More like when the firmware files get installed into the phone they all go through in one go, system files are the ones that get pushed and installed 100% but firmware files are what don't get pushed/replaced properly, for example the camera app firmware differs per update and the firmware (XXKPE) will only run specific firmware codes that are hardcoded into it. That's why an old camera version causes black screen on first flash, when you flash the second time the system makes sure the contents are the same from the original source so only replaces what's not the same, that's why the 2nd flash the recovery before initial launch finishes faster than the first flash. I don't really know if it's a firmware issue or odins fault, the data does not get pushed to the phone properly, imo I feel it's odin.

Upgraded to xxkpe but UI still showing Froyo

Hi guys,

I recently upgraded to xxkpe but the UI is still showing Froyo. I have seen S II with gingerbread with a very different UI.

Am i missing sth??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Excuse me? UI is showing Froyo? I'm not sure what that means!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidi9003:
UI from froyo had 7 home screens dots placed just below the notification bar. UI from Samsung sII has the dots placed just above the 4 menus at the below (Phone, Contacts, Messaging and Applications).

When i upgraded to xxkpe, i assumed my UI would be similar to SII.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Don't assume things like that.. :p

UI has nothing to do with the system version! This isn't iOS. You can change the UI to anything you want.

Also, Froyo UI or Gingerbread UI is stock UI, while Samsung UI is Touchwiz. On the SII, its Touchwiz 4.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidi9003:
I see. Thanks for removing the confusion.. Will try to upgrade to TouchWiz 4.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
As I tried,touch4 did not work on kpe.

if you want to try ,install a backup luncher.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Better deodex your device or remove the apk and odex file from tw launcher.. Better intall a backup launcher as you said just incase something goes wrong..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Touchwiz does work, Did you place it in system? Also Go Launcher is a good replacement, upon ext4 conversion, Touchwiz lags badly.

Updated with XXKPH flashing guide.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] n50user:
Hey Misled,

I am already on XXKPE since last month, so i do not need to reflashed XKPE right?

Just need to flash the KPH PDA file with the rest of KPE files(Modem,CSC,Boot) or Just KPH PDA alone will do?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
Thanks - but step number 17 for XXKPH needs to be more detailed - Are you referring to XXKPE here or XXKPH needs to be clearly written

Just a little feedback :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
After a clean flash of XXKPE you do not need to select the other files again. Just flash the XXKPH file as PDA.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
Thanks :)

So just 3 steps

1) Clean Flash (use all files, including Latona) - XXKPE

2) Just flash the PDA of XXKPH

3) CF Root for XXKPH from amit

Going to give it a shot in few minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] :
Xxkph is going fine until now! Hope ko problem will arise suddenly !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ganeshbiyer:

I did not find the cfroot for KPH.

Where can i find it. It is not in Amits post.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Clearly XXKPH comes with only 1 file. Hence why I redirected it to the steps again so people are aware :).

@space, The only reason I included those was because some who have been using ext4, It will end up freezing them with a bootloop, I've tried the PDA only but got into a loop when I had the ext4 installed previously on XXKPE, But when I placed the following files, It booted up 100% without any issues. Many mentioned previously they had problems with just flashing the PDA, So it was to make it somewhat clear bud :).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
It's on page 1 of the Feedback thread chief.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] B€nder:
which is the file name pda in the version XXXKPH?? I don't understand that i have to do with the files in the XXXKPH. I see the guide but i don't see pda file in the folder. Only files:

- boot.bin

- cache.rfs

- modem.bin

- normalboot.img

- param.lfs

- Sbl.bin

- system.rfs

Sorry for this reason, i hope so some help. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Your not supposed to Unrar the file. Your doing it wrong. the PDA contains those files. There is only 1 file in XXKPH. Please re-read the instructions and read the name's carefully. I have written down the names of the files and their extensions for a reason.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Correct. What I was saying is that, if you do a clean flash (incl latona and boot) to XXKPE first and then just flash KPH as PDA, you do not need to select the other KPE files.

You just need to select the .tar as PDA. Do not unzip it!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] B€nder:
Thank you!!!!!! Mention on the first page, please.
