[Samsung Mesmerize] LazerOrca:
Hi. My name is Shaun, and yes this is my first post here :o... I would like to say this is an awesome forum full of information. Thanks for being here.

I'll start off with where I am at with my phone, and ultimately, what I want to do, then I will roll with a few questions (actually a lot of questions).

I will give you my phone stats and info to start off with. Some of it may not be pertinent. (All of this is what came out of the box, and I haven't done anything to this phone besides gain su access to it through superoneclick)

-Samsung Galaxy S (Mesmerize through US Cellular)

-Hardware v I500.04

-Firmware v 2.2.1

-Kernel v 2.6.32.9

I have read through the glossary, the stickies, and a few other threads as well. I'm looking to flash a new ROM, of course.

Now with the questions and calls for layman's explanations... :p

1. My friend, Adam, told me that the next step for me is to ":)Download ROM Manager and run a back up". I read in a thread this is a no-no, and that I need to get CVM Red Recovery (I saw it in both zip and tar formats). Once I download it, what is the next step? Do I put the zip file on my SD card and boot into the factory recovery and get it there? Do I download "odin" and load it that way? What is the advantage or disadvantage of either method? It seems a bit unclear to me.

2. With the particular ROMs, I read that these packages will sometimes include the kernels. Are these in separate files and need to be flashed separately? If so, how do I know which kernel package matches a particular ROM, if I am even making any sense right now?

3. After putting CVM on my phone, how would one get back to stock?

Conceptually, I think I am missing a bit on how all of this works and the inner workings of a droid, and I'm one that tends to learn these things through diving in it. The fear of "bricking" my precious lifeline to the world is keeping my butthole clinched and myself afraid to make the next move.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
First off, welcome. You will find the answers to almost all of your questions in the following stickied threads. Doing your own research and reading a LOT is the best way to get yourself comfortable and ready for rooting. Keep in mind, the only person that can correct anything you screw up is you so make sure you have a good understanding of what you're doing BEFORE you do it. Oh, and don't use ROM Manager. It doesn't work correctly for our phone (yet). Kernels included in Rom's don't need installed separately

new questions about CVM for mesmerize

In my search for CVM for my mesmerize... I came across this sticky thread in reference to all SCH-I500 models..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1026893

Where is this said "recovery that allows you to flash a zip file"? Is this the same recovery that I can access when I hold the power and volume buttons to boot the phone? The wording sounds as if I need a "previous recovery" from another source somewhere to do this.

Also, in that same thread there is a link to the CVM needed for these phones. I see CVM3-voodoo, CVM3-voodoo blue, and CVM-voodoo purple... is the first in the list the "red recovery" I am looking for?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
There's a lot of different versions of CWM (W not V btw, stands for ClockWork Mod). I believe the colored ones are the same just different colors. The first one named should work fine though. And you will flash the zips in CWM when you reboot using the "3 finger method" which I believe is what you were describing.
[Samsung Mesmerize] LazerOrca:
Using the three-finger method with the factory recovery and scroll to where it says "apply sdcard:update.zip", find the zip file in the sdcard and hit ok?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
No that's an old method. Use the CWM.tar file and flash it in PDA in Odin. 3-finger method will then take you to CWM and not stock recovery.
[Samsung Mesmerize] LazerOrca:
it worked!!!

sweet it worked!!! :D:D:D thanks akellar...

how do you like MIUI? I see that you are running that on your phone. I gotta look through some of these roms and look at the features and screenshots.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
No problem.

MIUI is awesome (I'm actually using CM7 btw, just haven't updated my sig). It is VERY different from stock though. Keep in mind there are bugs in both it and CM7 so if that's an issue for you then stick with TouchWiz based Roms (H57 would be my suggestion or PnP if you just want stripped down stock). You can find instructions and info on those Roms in their specific threads.
[Samsung Mesmerize] LazerOrca:
When trying to back up in CWM, I get an "Error while backing up boot image!" I am using CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v3.0.2.8x.ti

Is there a newer version and is this a known issue?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Honestly there are so many different versions of nearly identical CWM's the version number and names no longer mean anything to me.

Download this link, unzip, pick one of the colors (all the same just different colors), install in the CWM you currently have, go to reboot recovery, it will then reboot into the update recovery and you should be good to do a backup from there.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=R7V0INE0
[Samsung Mesmerize] LazerOrca:
put it on my SD card, then select "install zip from sdcard" or "apply update from sdcard"?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Install - update will look for an update.zip and install that, which won't do you any good.
[Samsung Mesmerize] LazerOrca:
this what it is saying now

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Installation aborted.

I reboot and it is still the same version of CWM I'm running now. Should I repair permissions?

Does it matter that the lagfix conversion says yes? I know this changes the file system from what I have read?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
First off, did you unzip the file I linked and pull out one of the individual files? It sounds like your trying to install the original zip which won't work. THere are 3 zip files inside the original zip.

Did you already install a Rom or Kernel? Where are you seeing lagfix coversion saying "yes?" It should only say enabled or disabled in CWM.
[Samsung Mesmerize] LazerOrca:
I saw that in the CwM recovery screen.

It is working now. I am backing up as we speak. this backup can be recovered at anytime if I can make it back to the CwM recovery screen, correct? should I download the factory rom and kernel and keep it around on my SD card?

and btw... thank you sooooo much for helping me out.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
As long as your on the same file format (i.e. not on CM7, MIUI) you will be able to restore that file, yes. The stock rom/kernel are not flashable in CWM, you have to use ODIN so having them on the SD card would not do you any good.

Not a problem. We were all new once. Like I said before, just make sure to do your own homework before jumping in head first. Many of us spend days/weeks reading before we ever did anything.

cm7

And do you have any tips for flashing cryanogen 7...

looked at this thread http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1142872 saying I need to flash two files separately... do I flash cm7 then gapps? both from CWM?

90 some odd MB seems fairly small for something running your entire phone. is this just an update?

In the process of flashing, does this change the file format, or does this occur when it reboots and installs?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Your link is broke so I am not sure what you are referring to but the CM7 thread has the instructions in it. Gapps installs the Google apps (gmail, market, etc).
[Samsung Mesmerize] LazerOrca:
correction... here is the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1142872

and in the process of flashing this rom, is the file format converted then or when the installation occurs after reboot?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Converts, then reboots to recovery, then flashes rom. Should do this all on its own. FYI, this is in the OP of that link. Make sure to read everything carefully!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crooke356:
Before root, my dwnld speeds averaged 18mb to 30mb. I'm lucky, and have LTE everywhere I go and those numbers were consistent. Since root, I can not get above 10mb. I've tried several roms and radio combinations to no avail. I would love to get back to those speeds. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
They're probably not really slower, just dont use the speedtest.net application. Use http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ instead.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
Everyone keeps recommending the speakeasy site over the speedtest.net app. Not sure why it shows different numbers for some but they both show almost identical speeds for me (speakeasy is even a little slower at times). Maybe it depends on your location and coverage but no difference here. *shrug*
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
If you try it on CM7 or any aosp rom it makes a world of difference for me at least. Download speeds are 1-5mbps on speedtest for it and 15-20 on speakeasy or just by testing through more scientific means (like using wget on a known file size, timing it and dividing out the size/time).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunNgun42:
You realize the difference between 10mbps and 30mbps on a cell phone is completely intangible. There are no websites that even deliver content at 30mbps in the first place, aside from the speakeasy servers for testing purposes, and even if they did, you wouldnt notice the difference because the entire page layout would have already been loaded in 1 second anyway.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
You assume we're talking about web pages. I was generally referring to large binary files handled over http. I download plenty of those from my own servers.

However, a webserver can deliver content at any speed it can handle (limited by load balancing or the max speed of a server). If you have a webpage with 100 large images on it, it's sure going to load a lot faster on LTE @ 2-4 MB/s than it would on CMDA at 300KB/s.

There are plenty of crappy wordpress and other crappy CMS sites out there that arent exactly very efficient in loading stuff either because they make too many http requests or they dont know what compression is. Either way, it'll make a difference.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
another thing to keep in mind also, is the more people that sign up & get 4G the slower the network will gradually get.

even 3G used to be faster at first....
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the.FBI:
If I am getting 3 mb/s speeds on speedtest and 19 mb/s speed on speakeasy which should i believe?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILMF:
View attachment 669616

That's speakeasy.

courtesy of Gingeritis 3D
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
Yup, no difference here whatsoever. Speakeasy is actually slower than the speedtest app. Tested them back to back while sitting in the same location.

Always been this way from CM7 RC0.6 through 1.3 now on MR1, MR2, OTA MR2. That's why it always made me wonder when lots of people suggested using speakeasy.

Oh well...

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunNgun42:
Think the app's are a bit misleading anyway. I ran the speedtest app on my phone and get 30mb down, then I tether to my laptop and run the same test from their website and get 7mb down.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] darkgandhi05:
Starting a new thread so people like me can find an easy answer with the title on this thread.

In order to get the new baseband, does the OTA Update from stock ROM have a better chance of success than the LG Update tool?

If so..right now I have Froyo EaglesBlood ROM. Can someone confirm this process so I don't hit a brick wall:

*My current nandroid backup is stock ROM with root permissions*

1. Do Titanium Backup

2. Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik?

3. Restore nandroid to Stock ROM

4. Do OTA update

5. Reinstall APX driver on Windows? (I don't understand all the problems with bad drivers leading to bricking...is that only with the LG tool?)

6. Reflash ClockworkModRecovery through NVFlash

7. Flash Rooted ROM

8. Boot up/Reboot/Reboot into ClockworkMod

9. Make nandroid & Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik

10. Flash Custom ROM

11. Restore Titanium Backup stuff

Apologies if this is an improper post/thread in any way. Just looking for some guidance.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Gede:
I already posted this in another thread by Trbobuick, but I thought an new thread with a correct title would be of better use...

I just recieved the powerpack, and its not very beautiful, IMHO. The cut out spaces for the power button and the volume rockers makes it look a bit odd.

The material (and texture) used for the powerpack sadly doesn't look like anything on the S2. It stains easier than the phone itself, as it seems.

During charging with the S2 in the powerpack, the phone beeped every few minutes that is was fully charged. (Another user reported it did it only every hour). While you may sleep through only one beep, this powerpack will keep you awake all night. (I am on a stock rom)

And then, if the powerpack (disconnected from mains charger) has charged the phone, the phone has the "remove charger" notification, and this (until now) stays and seems to prevent further charging the phone by the powerpack. (Unless you remove and reconnect the powerpack).

Until now this Samsung Powerpack seems a badly (I am mild) designed thing, unless I don't understand the operation of the powerpack.

Its just an external battery, and more or less behaves as such. That there is a phone fitting inside this external battery seems more like a coincidence as intentional.

Not Happy. :(

[Galaxy S II Accessories] sinspawn:
I'm not entirely sure how the pack works.... you charge the pack and then the pack charges the phone? So essentially it's a portable charger that draws its power from its own battery?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Gede:
Yes.

Its just an external battery with a USB pass-through (not all functions of the normal USB plug are passed through, such as HDMI) and this external battery charges your phone.

p.s.

It seems as the powerpack still charges, even if the normal charging icon is not shown.

When I check battery status it (allways) says 4 seconds on battery.....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
Yeah it charges, I got 6 hours of medium use before the pack stops charging the SGS2 and it begins using the internal battery.

Battery meter is useless to measure this tho, it thinks it's still on the charger.

Aaaaaand, I gave up trying to charge the pack while the SGS2 was in it because:

1) It charges so very bloody slowly

2) The wake me up thing I get every hour or so

I charge the case on it's own now, thankfully I have a whole bunch of microUSB chargers. But really Samsung? It's not that you haven't had time to improve on the design, considering the SGS had a battery case too.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hammerman44:
Mine arrived yesterday, wasnt exactly what I was expecting in terms of size.

As it adds as an external power source, battery stats are useless.

I've had the inverse results, to me HTC has much better battery life than Samsung does for example. Even watching my 3D movies on my Evo 3D, I get pretty good battery life. However, because these are open source operating systems, and not designed for the phones that they're being used on, all Android phones with the exception of the Nexus Series will have dumpy battery life. iPhones, Nexus, Blackberries, Nokia Symbians, all have great battery life cause they're running what they're designed to run.
