[Galaxy S I9000 General] yamchirobe:
a lot of effort has been taken to get this video done , so please watch this and comment on youtube,depending on the response im planning a second video with more detailed explanation.

i own both phones and i personally like the display on the sl,but the s is better for games like n.o.v.a 2 and has custom roms,sad part is my bro uses the s(i9000)

now and im left with the sl.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xGiox:
i am using galaxy sl.i got 2271 total score in quadrant advanced rom is XXKPE(even without any fices was getting 1570) now 2271 is with ex4t patched deodexed rooted and with ram script applied.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yamchirobe:
How do I apply the ram script, even I have deodexed
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sabretooth30:
I dont think so... i have both phones before. i have sl first and bought S because of the bigger memory. I compare them, and I think S is better in harware specially the AMOLED screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yamchirobe:
Part 2 coming soon
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Madriss:
of course galaxy s better than SL

[HTC Sensation] mobilehavoc:
I always have to wave my phone around with at least every boot like an idiot to calibrate the compass. My G2x I only had to calibrate once ever and it remained calibrated. With my Sensation it just seems the compass is always not calibrated properly and waving my phone around in figure 8s all the time is embarrassing.

[HTC Sensation] familyhousing:
No, you are not the only one. I have to do the figure 8 thing every time. Really embarrassing.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Funny you posted this as it told me to do this for the first time last night since I had the phone. Also, I don't like that my phone goes into landscape if I just set it down flat on a table.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I also have to re-calibrate. I find the 3-axis rotation method works well, and is maybe slightly less foolish looking in public than a big figure-8.
[HTC Sensation] mobilehavoc:
Can you explain how that method works?

[HTC Sensation] davemazo:
Sorry, duplicate post
[HTC Sensation] davemazo:
At least you have a compass. Looks like T Mobile UK has removed it because I can`t find it
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
You rotate the phone smoothly around each of the 3 axes. Just found this video. The first part shows the 3 rotation orientations.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECaINlTMNk0

I do it somewhat faster than he does, and without the Canadian accent. :)

Some documentation I read said 3 rotations along each axis, but based on that video it may not require that many. Trial and error should determine what works best on your phone.

Edit: Just found this video as well. Can't vouch for how well his technique works, but it's quite a bit simpler and quicker. I'll give it a shot next time I need to calibrate:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP3d00Hr14o
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
There's an app for that.
[HTC Sensation] davemazo:
Yeah, its just deciding which one to go for
[HTC Sensation] JohannFaust:
I had the same issue; googling around brought me to: http://androidforums.com/incredible-support-troubleshooting/79713-compass-calibration-problem.html#post997382.

Did "temp" root, and followed the instructions - the name of the calibration data file on our phones is "AK8975Prms.ini".

The compass seems to be working properly now, for about a week, at least; but I readily admit: it is uncertain if deleting the mentioned file had anything to do with it, or it was just coincidental.
[HTC Sensation] Tangent_:
Is this still working for you or has anybody come up with another fix? It's extremely irritating to be using navigation and have it tell you to turn left, then as you're waiting at the light it says continue straight, make a u-turn, turn right, etc, all while not even moving...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfX2k:
Up to now i had the DarkyRom 10.2 with semaphore 1.3.3 kernel.

Now i wanted to test new kernels (GalaxianGT and DamianGTO).

After flashing the Glaxian, my SGS is very unstable an reboots very often.

Even if i flash back to semaphore (deleting cache and dalvik cache) it's he same situation.

So how do i flash a new kernel the right way?

Is there a kernel cleaning script like for CM7/MIUI?

Or what else is important?

I don't want to reinstall Darky, if it's possible.

Big Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Woolf:
Yes there is a kernel cleaning script primarily for cm7 - search dev section.

To change kernels, install sgs kernel flasher from the market, dl whatever kernels you want to flash and place inside sgs kernel flasher folder on sdcard, launch kernel flasher, choose your desired kernel and your good to go.

Since I went through the S-Off tutorial, I installed the file they said to for drivers, and I haven't gotten it to work again since.

it makes the noise over and over and over again like it's recognizing it in my computer, but never does.

I've uninstalled all the drivers, then reinstalled the driver pack. When that didn't work, I've reinstalled HTC Sync and the driver pack I had working before again...still didn't work.

Could a problem be with the SD card itself? Could it be corrupted somehow from an incomplete file transfer, etc

any ideas?

edit: not the SD card, so I guess it HAS to be a driver issue

frustrating as hell, tired of re installing drivers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRS_:
i was using gingerbread from it's first leak to JVQ but yesterday i was annoyed because of low fps in asphalt 6 and i started to install different roms, kernels, custom roms, oc/no oc, governor but nothing till froyo [JSD]. i do not know why but asphalt 6 runs smoother on froyo than in gingerbread. 3D score on froyo was higher that in gingerbread [780 gingerbread, 980 froyo].

after a few more tests i found these differences

froyo:

pros

-smoother 3D gaming [and 2D -> The Impossible Game]

-subtitles on hardware decoded movies via tv-out [i'm not using tv-out to much but sometimes i really need it]

-high quality automatic call recording

-all tweaks from galaxy tuner are working

-more "durable" [installs, unintalls, tweaks, customize and all kind of modifications i want to do]

-support for ad-hoc networks

cons

-no overscroll glow [i do not really care about glow itself but i really like to get that 'hard' stop when i scroll

-no crt lock animation [still no match for CM7 which have it on unlock too]

gingerbread:

pros

-faster ui? [maybe]

-crt lock animation

-overscroll glow

-much higher cpu score in quadrand [~5800 gingerbread, ~1900 froyo]

cons

-laggy 2D, 3D gaming

-no subtitles via tv-out on hardware decoded movies

-galaxy tuner is not working properly

-street humouresque font have odd bold letters

-too fragile for heavy use [installs, unintalls, etc...]

-NO proper call recording

-does not support ad-hoc networks

i did this to know your opinions about froyo vs gingerbread.

i hope you will write some pros and cons for both of them :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doomsdaycs:
5800 is unheard off.. max score is 3500.. not that it matters anyways.. i see that u are biased towards froyo.. the only advantage of froyo over gingerbread is better battery life and call recording. in all other aspects looks,performace,gaming gingerbread holds its own ground..:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRS_:
5800 CPU score not total score. [shown in Quadrant Advanced]

gaming better on gingerbread? why are u saying this?

try ashalt 6 and you will see difference in fps between froyo and gingerbread.
[HTC Desire S] slvrbllt:
First of all, please let me thank all the people involved into this process:

o unrevoked and AlphaRevX teams (for their great tools)

o davidreece (for reporting the temp root method) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1190992

Since Revolutionary is not able (yet) to acquire root access on our ROM, I thought I'd get a temp root access BEFORE launching Revolutionary.

As a matter of facts I have successfully S-OFFed my device running the latest 1.47.401.4 ROM (HBOOT 0.98.0002).

I could not test this method on any other ROM version, but as long as you are able to get temp root using the commands below, you should be safe to go.

So let's get straight to the instructions:

PREREQUISITES:

o You know what you are doing. Messing up with your NAND implies a risk that you should be aware of.

o Android SDK installed. Download the "android-win-tools" from the following link otherwise (thanks .sh4d0w.) and extract the files to your \Windows directory: http://www.4shared.com/file/KK6KvF7Q/android-win-tools.html

HOW TO:

o Get your version of Revolutionary from their site: http://revolutionary.io/

o Ensure your device has "Debug USB" enabled and is connected to your PC in "Charge only" mode.

o Download fre3vo from the following link: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661246&d=1311240968

o Open a command prompt and issue the following commands to get temp root access: (thanks again, davidreece!)

adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell [i](you'll get a $ prompt)[/i]
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF [i](you should be kicked off adb shell and get back to your command prompt)[/i]
adb shell [i](you should get a # prompt now)[/i]
exit

o DO NOT disconnect or switch your device off!!

o Now that your phone has temporary root access, launch Revolutionary and follow instructions on screen.

o In a matter of seconds you will see the new HBOOT in place

o You may want to answer Y when prompted whether to install CWM or not. It will install the new 4.0.1.4 version of the tool.

o Download the attachment below and flash it via CWM. It will install su and Superuser.apk. Restart your phone and you'll end up with a rooted stock rom.

You should be able to achieve the same results on Linux as well.

That's it, folks.

Add this to the tutorial.

Copy content on adb-win-tools from here>> http://www.4shared.com/file/KK6KvF7Q/android-win-tools.html

This is for:

Because most of us don't have those files preinstalled :D in windows.
[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
for HBOOT 0.98.0000, you don't need the temp root right?

2-i cannot set up cwm via recovery or one click

3-my ginger break 1.2 doesnt work

what should i do now?

i am working and reading for a couple of day but i cannot go one step after s-off my device
[HTC Desire S] Hipis:
It's alive !!!! S-Off !!!
[HTC Desire S] Valwit:
worked perfectly
[HTC Desire S] deadwasp:
it is alive

s-off

but not rooted

cwm is working

su is working but i think it is not rooted

but at gingerbreak both of the root and unroot is white

is something wrong or not
[HTC Desire S] Valwit:
if su is working then you're rooted. open terminal emulation, you'll se the $ prompt. type in SU and hit enter: if it changes to # you're happy. or simply install superuser from market manually. gingerbreak didn't work for me ever.

edit: you may also want to install busybox, also from market, use one of the free installers. this way all programs that need root will find all they need.

any ideas re running on win7 as oppose to just saying use linux?
[HTC Desire S] akuma24:
replying to myself and future readers lol, if you have win7 64 bit and revolutionary doesnt run, run it in a command prompt instead

so open cmd, change the directory to the location of the revolutionary y folder, then just type:

revolutionary

and press enter

also a side note, revolutionary doesn't work if you have htc sync installed, so un-install that first, it un-installs the application not the drivers

Just put my phone into the computer and run the revolutionary-program as adm.. everything seems to be working. I have S-OFF.

But I cant use my phone now, cant use internet, cant send sms, cant dial...nothing seems to work??

Why?!
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Unfortunately, at this step:

I couldn't go ahead.

Actually on my Linux box with Gentoo 10.0 kernel 3.0.1-gentoo arch: x86_64, the executable doesn't run.

I saw it is a 32 bit binary file and I also tried "linux32" emulator but it doesn't work anyway.

The guys in the support channel told me to try Ubuntu or a Debian based distribution but the program MUST be runnable on every Linux distribution, since Gentoo is "still" Linux. Maybe some dependencies are missing, but what are the missing dependencies? It would be useful if they tell what these dependencies are.

UPDATE: my phone is rooted now. Moving the revolutionary file to the /tmp directory solved the problem and I could S-Off.
[HTC Desire S] adazamim:

[HTC Desire S] mimirom:
Hi,

I'm one of the lucky ones who bought their desire S set to S-OFF right from the beginning.

Question: Is it safe to run the temproot/revolutionary procedure described in this thread on a Desire S that is already s-off from the manufacturer?

OR

Could someone kindly provide a comprehensible explanation (I'm not completely new to rooting etc., but things have changed since last time + I've got a different phone) of how to proceed towards root after S-OFF?

Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Here is the answer to your first question.

Root after S-OFF guide is right here.

Bye.
[HTC Desire S] mimirom:
Thanks, but unfortunately not possible for me. I have not obtained S-OFF through Revolutionary. I bought the device already set to S-OFF. I guess my problem is my current version of hBoot, which has NOT been modified by Revolutionary.

That's why I'm trying to ask if it would be safe to run Revolutionary on my S-OFFed phone with the intention to keep S-OFF + gain modified hBoot.

I'm getting this now:
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Yes, it actually doesn't make too much sense running Revolutionary on an already S-OFF phone. Instead, try to install a different hboot. Look at this thread on how to do it.
[HTC Desire S] mimirom:
I'll have a look at it. Thanks for helping me out. It's a lot of information in the beginning....
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Yes, that's it for me too. I could tell you only the few things I've learnt. ;)
