Ok ill do that, but how do i find a stock low lvl Rom? could you point me in the right direction? i dont wanna brick my phone hahaha ive already messed it up with the bootloader stuff...

this is what i know about my phone

PDA. I9000XWJVH

PHONE: I9000XXJVO

CSSC: I9000XXEEJV3

MODEL NUMBER: GT-I9000

FIRMWARE VERSION: 2.3.3.

BASEBAND VERSION: I9000XXJVO

what else do i need to know ?:p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nmcc89:
Your best bet is to do a bit of reading around just so you know what you're trying to do.

[Ramad]'s thread of stock firmwares is probably the most helpful to you. It's got loads of stock firmware and some detailed instructions, as well as downloads for odin and all the necessary files.

If you're going to flash bootloaders you need a file from this thread that has "sbl" in the filename. From the info you've posted you're PDA is XWJVH, your modem (PHONE) is XXJVO and your CSC is XEEJV3. If you want to keep this setup just find the right download with the bootloaders and you should be good to go. Of course you can always flash another ROM if you'd rather. If you're going for a clean flash also flash with a pit file and repartition checked. All the gingerbread so far use 512.pit but you can always check on samfirmware too.

Also below are a couple of links to general guides (which are stickies in the "Galaxy S I9000 General" section. They've just got a load of useful information for all kinds of things:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Jnn1:
I'm statimg the obvious here since the first generation of tablets(way before the ipad) were by default stylus-dependent devices.

But because of the nature of how one uses the tablet, usually on your laps on a sofa, or on a coffee table at home or a cafe, or in one hand reading an ebook, or even on the go walking around, it's much easier to use a stylus to tap with, rather than having to stick out your finger like a baby continuous reaching out for stuff. Unlike a phone which is in your hand so your thumb does all the work or because of the small screen you always hold close, the tablet is always a distance away, so the extended length provided by the stylus makes it that much more comfortable. Not to mention you also avoid finger marks on your screen!

I've had a stylus since last winter when I used it for glove-on solutions with my nexus one. But I found it rather cumbersome for a phone, the small screen spade leaving no margin of error. So since spring it was just siting on my desk without any good use, but now with the new GT I'd it's had a second life, and I carry it all around!

Anyone else found the stylus a great companion to tablets? Any recommendations on a specific stylus? (any one tried the ocrucial samsung one?)

First call Sprint Costumer Service extend your plan out for two years they will give you $70 off current bill this does not affect your upgrade then head on over to the sprint store trade in your EVO 4G for the $150 BAM you just got the EVO

3D FREE. Say Thanks and Enjoy:D
[HTC EVO 3D] AyyRayy:
Or you can sell your EVO on Craigslist for 250-325. That would also work and save you a credit

And while you're there, tell them if you are a AAA member or you are a member of a credit union. If so, that's 10% off your monthly bill.

Have a friend still using an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4? Tell them to dump it and go with Sprint. They'll get about $135 for their old iPhone 3GS (more for the iPhone 4) and $125 for porting their old AT&T number over to Sprint so Sprint will actually pay THEM to own an Evo 3D.

They've also been giving Sprint Premier Silver members the full upgrade price even though you've only had your Evo 4G for a year. Sprint is running so many great deals right now, most people should be able to get an Evo 3D for just about free if not better.

I don't know why Sprint is giving me such a hard time. I'm one year into my contract and have tried and tried. They want me to pay the full retail price. IMO it's not worth the retail price esp when I have an EVO. It's not worth all the hassle. I don't know what else to do. Hell I will sign a 3 year contract if they would cut me a little slack. I hope someone from Sprint sees this and contacts me.

Hey - I recently downloaded Das BAMF 3.0 RC3 with Imo's leanKernel on Extreme, and everything seemed to be running smoothly (at one point my touch screen did not respond, but a battery pull fixed that, ha). Just recently my app animations (for example, when I go to the app drawer, the apps 'fly' in and then 'fly' away when I close them) is VERY laggy, and they were not before. I did not update or change anything... I am using LauncherPro and WidgetLocker, but always have been. I have been trying to change settings around but no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions or know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

EDIT: And scrolling them the apps is very fast - it is just them flying in and out. Very strange...

EDIT 2: A completely other problem I am having - when I try to reboot, it doesn't reboot, it just shuts off. Is this a serious problem or something small that can fix it, or is this a known issue with the ROM that I will have to deal with until they fix?

I am having txt msging issues and called VZW they said they are sending a new phone and new sim card. My question is can I try the new sim card with my existing phone first to see if that corrects the issue? I was wondering if I could try it on the old phone first to see if the issue is corrected and if not put the new sim card in the new phone they are sending.

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueis300:
Good question as I was always told sim cards are tied to the phone but it being the same phone number it might work. Cant hurt to try it out.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willzzz88:
NO they are NOT and you can SWITCH SIM CARDS on the FLY to DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS/PHONES.

The rep just doesn't know the engineering of the system.

You can even do it on VZW.Com.

Log into VZW.COM, go to switch phone.

Click on the old phone to kill (phone #), and it will be deactivated.

Now power down the old phone.

Now it will ask you for the IMEI# of the new phone.

Enter that.

Now it will ask you if you want a NEW VZW SIM card # attached to this new 4G device which will be pre-active in the systems and mailed to you or want to use a existing SIM card #.

Select existing.

It will ask you for the old SIM card # serial # (IMSI#).

Enter that (starts with 89).

That old SIM card has now switched profiles from a old 4g device to a new 4g device.

Activation is all done.

Now just move the SIM card from the old device to new device and boot.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] z3nful:
This is a longshot, but maybe its hardware related, like its been dropped to many times. Does it randomly freeze up or just reboot? I've had a few customers come in with similar issues, and one thing that seemed to work was scaling the CPU back to 800mhz in the cm7 performance settings. I'm not sure why, but its worked most of the time in my shop.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YZ:
it does not freeze at all :/ only rebooting.. It doesn't happen when I'm using it, only when it is in standby mode.

Already tried to:

-Turn off automatically detect time

-Turn off automatically back light.

-Turn off mobile network (only turn on when needed)

-change maximum and minimum cpu to 460-800 Mhz

-with TyphooN_CM7_v3.7.0-cLK and 35-AmeriCanAndroid+122011(magldr)

I had that problem a few days ago. I think its actually rom related .. on the new ics builds its been common for my phone to reboot but then other more stable roms it shouldn't be rebooting.. when I first noticed the reboots was a few days ago I converted an official miui rom to clk (not on xda) and randomly when I checked my phone it would be turned off or rebooting, this occurred several times.. today I updated to the newest miui 2.1.6 and converted it to clk but I haven't noticed any random reboots yet.. so maybe (hopefully:)) rom related.

I get random reboots with any and all ROMs I use. I am currently using ICS Rom. Only reboots when on standby, or travelling where I am in and out of cell tower range. I am going to try all the tips in OP (except for CLK fix since I am on MAGLDR) to see if it helps.

I have also seen some recommend getting a new SIM card (tmobile). I am on a very old SIM, so I am wondering if anyone with similar new SIM can confirm if newer reboots still happen.

Also, long ago I know that auto-rotation setting used to cause reboots in some ROMs in standby. If the other tips dont work, perhaps you should try turning auto-rotate off as well.

I don't have random reboots anymore ;) After I chose my operator manually, I haven't had a random reboot for months.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kylew1212:
yz,

This is a great thread! Some really valuable information! :)

Today is the first day that I've ever read it because I don't have random reboots. Thankfully!

However here are some of my experiences with it.

1.) Sometimes random reboots may have nothing to do with our phone, it can just be the rom were using. Example, I have been dying to try ICS and I did almost the day it came out. I experienced tons of random reboots. This is due to the software being in the beta phase.

So basically 1.) If you are not running something that is thought to be stable - don't expect it to be stable.

2.) This is the biggest thing I've noticed reading the forums. System partitions. If your system size is not large enough for the rom you are using, you will have problems. Always use the recommended system sizes, or expect reboots and a suprise if the phone even boots.

I didn't see these listed, and I know their really common sense but after some of the threads I've read recently.. ;)

Thanks for this guide yz, I will definitely be linking to this soon on my site.:)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nonpaq:
My phone had random reboots on any ROM, all partitions sizes, with EXT3/4 SD partitions or without, CLK or MADLDR. I was fairly certain that it had to do with two bad blocks that my phone has.

However, I activated a new SIM card I had, and started using it in my phone, and I have yet to get a random reboot in two days. Previously, I would get multiple reboots while I was driving, or if my phone sat in standby for long in a place with weak signal.

I was using Tytung's CM9 v1.2 port, which stopped rebooting after the SIM card change, then I flashed NRG's SensationXL 1-23 build to test a ROM that needs larger partitions. So far, no random reboots.

Looks like for me, on TMOUSA, a new SIM card stopped my reboots. (My old SIM predated my HD2, which I bought new 20 months ago.) The new SIM has no data on it... the old had contacts from multiple phones.

only reboots during charging

Hello,

i am running on this build:DISCONTINUED [MAG/CLK] RCMix3D Runny v5.1 [Official Runny Sense 3.5][Marc1706 v0.1.5].

The only time i have reboots is when i charge the phone over night. Then i found sometimes in the morning that the phone is continuing rebooting and don’t stop this process until i put of the battery. I have tried all the tips in this thread and switch off everything (bluetooth, wlan, sync, auto-rotation,....) and go in airplane mode with no help.

Any other hints and tips for this problem??

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YZ:
You're not overclocking?

Have you checked if you have any bad blocks?

Clk or Magldr?

Did you select your operator manually?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nafets.f:
no overclocking,

i am on Magldr,

operator manually, i think i have done it but when i checked again there was no star behind my operator :confused:

about bad blocks, i checked it with dmesg with no entries.:)

However I have a note about the dmesg command. You can see approximately the last 2 hours of kernel messages in the terminal window so you have to do a reboot to see any bad block messages because i think the system will check the file system only during start up like a normal linux machine.

I think that my problem is located with the sd-card. I use an sandisc 16 GB class 4. When booting the phone i need sometimes 2 attempts to get a login screen. When i have more time i will flash the rom and format the sd-card again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Authi:
Hi yz.hd, I will congratulate you for your excellent main post, very useful, no doubt.

The conclusion of a "problem" like this is clear, our lovely HD2 is not a native Android machine, but however I prefer it than other popular machine as "not complete apple" :D

My experience with the "problem" had a little more information to add about it. I'm living in Barcelona, Spain, my mobile operator is an "virtual operator" that uses Orange network. In Barcelona I had no random reboots, but last weeks I travelled to Canary Islands, and there, I have 1 or 2 reboots a day. The conclusion, perhaps, is that place is not as good as big city in signal strength.

My rom is a dungphp made cLK 1.5 Desire Z Froyo 2.2.1, I don't remember exact name of it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nonpaq:
just reporting back that I have had no reboots in one week since changing my SIM card. I am now on tyungs ICS CM9 v1.3, and have not had to do any of the tips here. So in my case, my reboots were caused by a bad SIM card, or bad data on the SIM card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YZ:
Seems like the random reboots are mostly occurring when the sim card cannot receive signal/data from the operator.

This is not only happening on the hd2, but on android-native devices too.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cs152sux:
Manually selecting the operating network helps reduce the number of reboots I have. But there's something I notice and didn't see any post about it. After ever random reboot I experience, I checked the battery usage and notice that there is always a drop in the battery level. Sometimes more than 10%. Could the problem be related to power management in the rom? Just a thought.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YZ:
It can be rom related.

The opposite has happened to me a lot of times. After I re boot my phone, the battery level increases (6-10 %)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YZ:
Thread updated with more info:

Update 15.FEB.2012:

(Thanks to Seadersn for the idea)

Increasing the partition that contains the bad blocks will not always help.

To fix this, try increasing the first partition (which is recovery, in cLK)

fastboot oem part-resize recovery:50

fastboot oem part-commit

If your phone won't pass the android screen after a reboot, try decreasing the recovery partition. I ended up at 10.
