[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theothman:
I bought GT-I9000M, Froyo, 4 days ago, brand new unlocked from store. I had a problem getting GPS to work. Searching for a fix on the web, I got inundated with all kind of info,. Not only on GPS fixes, but on comparing, updating, rooting, flashing, unlocking, APP's and other issues with my Galaxy s. So, after reading quite a bit, I decided to update or flash my phone to the latest (assuming that will solve GPS problem and all other issues). As a newbie to Android software which I was about to temper with, I selected androidadvices.com to guide me. I had read very carefully and I followed instructions meticulously to flash 2.3.4 XXJVP. but it did not work. then the phone did not start and I got the little mobile and pc with triangle in between sign. I still could get to download mode. I tried to repeat the process many times, but got same results. it halted after it started to load bin file. I consulted the so called expert at androidadvices if the I9000M differs from I9000 and if could that be the reason for what happened. HE did replied promptly "YES" and advised to take it to service center. I searched a little more on the web with other language and I found a tip about omitting pit file (using Odin). Tip worked fine and flashed to XXJVP. Please do not congratulate me yet. Now the phone starts showing I9000. I did not only lose M, but it is network locked. Getting back to the so called expert to ask him if it's a good idea to upgrade or rooting (as he described in his instructions) to 2.3.4 XXJVQ to solve the problem. Also I meant to publish what happened on his site to save other newbies from believing what he writes. And his answer was "YES" again. Now I know the trick how to use Odin by omitting pit file, I did flashed to XXJVQ. Unfortunately, the galaxy s still locked. By that time, with no search, I already know that XDA forum from their tens of Youtube videos and links on every galaxy s site for their unlocking techniques. I'm sorry I'm trying to make this story short, but I can't for I won't feel well if someone trying to help asks me "did you do that?". However I tried everything I could, using Generate Unlock and SIM less methods, on XDA to unlock, yet no luck. I logged on a site I do not recall the address and up loaded the nv_data.bin.orig and entered 8 digits twice for unlock and unfreeze. I got back the message "the file is smaller than it should". the file was 4MB. I paid for unlock code from unlock-freedom.com 2 days ago, which promised to send code within 12-24Hrs. Yes the store I bought it from is finally open today. I went there and he plugged it to laptop hooked to USB unlocking device. He tried many time and ending with the message unlocking successful on the unlocking app. Yes you got it, the Galaxy s I9000 previously I9000M still locked. On the bright side.I have Gingerbread 2.3.4 XXJPQ installed and if I dismiss unlocking screen I can log in my email. Any help from a real Expert!!!!! will the unlock code, if I receive it, solve the problem. will I ever have my new phone working again????
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jneal9:
Ok that was pretty long and slightly confusing. But I think you lost your unlock yes? Have you tried Helroz's Galaxy S Unlock app from the market?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theothman:
Thank you for replying, I'll be more than delighted to clear your confusion. The answer I coulld not try Helroz's for it's like some other methods require to gain access to efs folder. I don't have folder named efs. and the only file I found browsing internal sdcard whether through PC or Myfiles icon on mobile was nv_data.bin.org with another file called devicefriendlyname.txt with rest of regular folders like sovx and android. all under: /mnt/sdcard as it shows in the phone.

RE: Helroz

Ok I feel like we have real experts here. I installed Helroz smoothly and run it but I got the following message:

It's possible you have problem with busybox, please install it or fix it.

So, what's next great guy's? I guess I need a root explorer and busybox !!!

:eek:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle51:
dont know anything about unlocking phones lol

can get busybox from market for free though i think, try that :)

Dear Kyle51

Thank you

I download the .apk file but I can't open it. what to do next?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle51:
should be able to go on to the app and pick what version to install, 1.17 or 1.18 i think show up

i tried changing TW launcher through sgs tools on simply honey but it said i didnt have busybox installed so i installed it and picked the newer version but still said i didnt have it, so dont know if i did something wrong
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theothman:
No Way :confused: I think you chould replace your TW launcher with your TV guide and look for the cable guy movie :cool:

I have a problem here installed busybox and ran it to get the following;

Root not found!

the su binary was not found on your phone. this application will not work since your phone is not rooted

Then I press OK to get:

Status: looking for Busybox....

Your phone is not rooted
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle51:
you used root explorer ?? so you must be rooted

i tried restoring app with titanium and it said i wasnt rooted so i rebooted and then it worked

try that and if not then try the super one click root method
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theothman:
Ready to donate and hit many thanks

Yes it's me again. still trying.

can anyone write happy ending to this endless story. but please consider I'm A NOOB :D not anything less than that. meaning I'm not familiar with most of terms and expressions you are using here.

However, if you are following this annoying story from beginning, I'm facing a dead end again, but i know there is great hope considering the following:

I have decided to start clean so I followed instruction in this thread (NOOB GUIDE: HOW TO ROOT/ODIN/FLASH/RECOVER ** 04/28/11 W/ Videos **).

I did every thing as it should be I believe, but I'm stock half way. Phone now flashed to stock T959UJFD (I'm glad now I can say that since I know what stock ;) means) but shuts down as soon as I plug USB cable???????

I have update.zip file on internal SD not the 2GB external.

Also have the Rom of my choice zip file (Trigger 3.2) on internal SD.

Oh I also have SuperOneClick. And Odin 1.7

tried too many things like flashing without reparation or without reboot. tried also to flash some 2.3 Rom versions. and they do work well as I saw. Only one main problem I can't root the phone (meaning I can't see efs folder to unlock phone) which what I have to do since I locked it while trying to fix GPS, in case you are not following from the start.

I also have a very light nice functional stable Arabic Persian Rom. as a matter of fact, I do not know how, but with this version of Rom the phone was able to receive calls and sms. half locked :confused:

Thank you Kyle for trying and I believe I have to hit the thanks button for you

I'd really appreciate any help to end this rather entertaining story.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle51:
dont know why it goes off when usb gets plugged in :s

you cant root :confused: rooting means you can flash custom roms which you've done ?? so you must be rooted ??

and you dont need odin or super one click on your sd (if thats what you meant)

but trying to fix gps locked it as in only open to 1 network/carrier ?? (whatever it's called where you are) :)

Here you go, here's a link to both the MR2 & MR2.5 radios.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1154010

Here's directions on how to flash the radio just in case you need them. Download either radio you want to use(either will work). Make sure it's named PG05IMG.zip. Check the MD5 sum and place on your sdcard. Power phone down completely, hold volume down button and power button and phone will boot into hboot. It will then ask do you want to update, hit volume up button to say yes. From here it will flash the radio then request you hit the power button to reboot. After that you should have mobile network. Last thing delete the PG05IMG.zip file off of your sd card just in case you have any issues in the future and need to boot into recovery through hboot.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpaceBolt:
Thanks a lot! I am doing the update right now. Question. In that MR2 link in the first post, in that thread that you linked - is both the LTE and the radio packaged in that zip file? [the (MR2)PG05IMG.zip (24.78 MB)] zip file, I mean.

Before you put the zip file onto your SD card, rename it to PG05IMG.zip exactly. So just remove the "(MR2)" from the filename.

My Facebook and Gmail Notifications pop up on my phone, and that's fine, but when I'm at home they still pop up on my computer and remain there, even after I've read them. It's a bit redundant to see what I've already seen on my Phone when I've seen it on my computer before. Is there a setting to make the updates that I've read on my computer not show up on my phone?

Hi every wonderfull android devs !!

I'm a proud owner of the wonderfull (again) TF101, but i guess something usefull is missing in android mobility solution : i named : USB/PCI driver and player for TNT DVB-T TV Tuners under android

As now tablets and even phone have USB plugs and enough power to make it, maybe they can support those little USB TV tuner dongles.

As reference under windows i'm using pouchin TV which is a lite and fluid player for TNT TV (DVB-T - H264 codecs etc ...) but i know there are many more like this one and maybe some which could be better... BUT my guess is for android !! i fall in love with it, its not perfect but it tend to be a light and easy to use (and in same time powerfull and completly controlable and customizable).

(But if i can make a parenthesis i would say that android fully interface with windows and that's great but only few apps can fill the connectivity gap between androtablets and androphones (like pdanet for instance). So please think about functionnality between 2 android device in your apps devs ;)

parenthesis closed :). )

So what about my suggestion about a new kind of app for android : i mean TNT TV support (for mobility reasons) through mini antennas or wall antenna plugs?..

First : is it possible? (i guess most linux distro already did it)

second : will it be done one day? does some brave guys/grils with gold software coding hands would be brave enough to make it !?

Please respond to my hope!!!

Thank a lot for all the work already done and for the one that will be ! (in any topics :D)

Hello,

I'm starting this thread to explore any rumours heard about possible release dates for the Samsung Galaxy S2 in Canada. So far, Virgin Mobile Canada, has announced on their website that they will be receiving the phone shortly:

http://www.virginmobile.ca/en/home/index.html

^Click the 2nd slide thing.

I have heard other rumours that Bell may be receiving the handset July 14. And SaskTel, has also announced they will be selling the phone.

However, it seems that Rogers has been very quiet about the phone. I have heard rumours that they might only receive the Infuse 4G. But that would be a stupid decision on their part, since the GS2 blows the Infuse out of the water, and the GS2 will probably come with 4G anyways.

It seems as though Canada might be receiving the handset sooner than our southern neighbours for once *Knock on wood*

I was wondering if anyone else has heard news about the GS2 coming to Rogers/Canada. And would you be willing to buy the phone unlocked somewhere else if it doesn't?

Sorry if a similar thread like this has already been posted. I'm just trying to share and gain as much knowledge as I can about this beast of a phone ;)

Sincerely,

Jamie

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] II Stevow II:
Hi,

I am working on getting my HD2 ready for WP7 + Android dual boot. I read that in order to make sure the Darkstone RAM SD build works properly with WP7 you need an already configured version of it. The current version I have is broken so i'm trying to get back to windows 6.5 so I can configure a new Darkstone build and upgrade everything back to WP7 + Android again.

Anyways, I'm stuck at the downgrading. I've downloaded both originals roms from the forum here and from htc.com and tried to run the from the bootloader (not the magldr but the red/green/blue thingie)

I keep getting the error about incorrect ROM versions. I tried to downgrade my radio to 15.26.50 but doing so resulted in the same error. My current radio version is 2.15.50.14

The HTC ROM i downloaded is named: RUU_Leo_S_Vodafone_NL_3.14.172.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship so my guess is that should work fine with my current Radio version.

Now i did read this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14182187&postcount=3 and it sounds like a very possible solution but I can't quite figure out what i should do on the phone. The bootloader doesn't give any instructions, but perhaps he meant magicldr?

I'm quite lost here and I think i would have already bricked my phone twices if the HSPL3 didn't had a good check (From what i've read on the forum)

Did you really follow all the steps from the link you posted?

Especially if you get the "wrong ROM" message, did you use your serial in order to find out which ROM is the correct one for you?

Another question: What SD card do you use? If it´s bigger than 2GB, it tends to make problems. Try a smaller one.
