[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilgenius2309:
**Phone seems to have no power does nothing, pull battery same thing cant even get download flashing screen screen**

I bought my new Bell I9000M and loved it then started about rooting, purchased rom manager premium and download darky rom 9.5 thru it and installed it worked pretty good.

Now I upgraded to 10.2RE and ran it for about 2 weeks without problems then today I started playing with emulators. Played SNES all day then noticed N64 installed played zelda no problems then found a psx emulator.

This is when disaster struck. I went to play FFVII with the psx emulator and it would lock up then quit the program. So I thought if i just did a reboot it might work.

Apon rebooting I started getting Force Close on pretty much all apps.

I tried to just repeat the install procedure for 10.2RE with odin including to make sure the repartition option was checked and it would load up then say something about UID inconsistent so I retried about 3 times (seems like it wasn't actually repartitioning then installing the clean software).

Frustrated I rebooted my PC and redid the process clicking the repartition then like a F'n Tard only loaded the PIT and not the PDA!!!

So no power

recovery botton method not working

tried vol down+power, vol up+down+power, just power (all with battery pulls)

the thing doesnt blink, cherp, or squat

I think Im done but pleeeease someone have something for me to do I am not a noob in these kind of things but it just came down to not double checking before hitting start.

Do i have a $400 paper weight and need to save for a S2???

Sounds like you are gonna need to try and make a jig or grab one off ebay, if that fails then, you can always try a repair shop, if you are in the GTA I can recommend a place to you, they have a JTAG
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
Yeah I think its a JTAG repair at that point which involves a lot more hands on (search youtube - they have demos).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilgenius2309:
Well Im reading that I need to jtag.. Ive done this with satellite receivers before but my usb equipment is different then what all the youtube videos are showing.

From what I read I have a full/hard brick

I'm I wrong in that a jig will only fix a software brick (or does this classify as such) I can easily make the jig which i will attempt tomorrow but I just want to know if its worth my time as i read that a jig only works when u have a black screen with two little white boxes showing or something like that

Im in Edmonton, AB Canada can anyone help me out with a jtag? (If a jig is going to work then let me know to as Im waaay to tired right now!)

thanks for the help
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DT3CH:
Ahh right I just noticed the part where you said you have no power.... I dont think the jig will work for you in that case...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DT3CH:

So after much searching I have not found anyone in Edmonton who provides jtag flashing in town. If I was in Toronto I would be set.

Anyways since no one provides this service in Edmonton I feel like I should purchase the equipment and start providing this services.

Does anyone know what software and jtag I need to get and I reputable site to order off of?

Ok, my phone wouldn't boot past att screen, and when I went into recovery there weren't any files there. I had installed a htc theme from the market using panda home. I was on cog 5 beta 3. I figured it was corrupted, do I one click back to stock and when it goes to reset the phone it just dies. Odin said reset, but not that it was successful. I waited 20 min and nothing happens. now I can't get the phone to do anything, totally black. I tried adams unbrick, but nothing seems to work. This is not the first time I've been stuck, and I'm st a lost. Any help?

Did you use the odin with 3 button fix?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
If a 301Kohm resistor between USB pins 4 and 5 does not turn it on into download mode, then you're hard bricked.

PM me and I'll unbrick it for free. I'd like to get some practice.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popfan:
I had the same problem before on my phone. Completely black screen, but I was able to do this trick:

1.Pull battery, sim and memory

2. jack in USB

3. hold the vol up and down buttons with power

4. drop battery back in with the buttons still pressed.

Got me to the download screen to try to fix it. Had to change my usb cord also (had a slice in it)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jferg5:
Thanks adam. I was working all day and am going to try the resistor tonight, if that doesn't work I'll be sure to hit you up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irrussell146:
So I ran into this same problem with my new captivate. my older one the same thing happened but i was able to just usb, hold buttons, and put in battery and it put me in download. but now with this new cappy its just stuck black. cant get it to go in download.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jferg5:
I hear that. No prob with same program and lots of flashes, but it got me this time. Thats why I've been following adam and his methods of unbrick. Hes trying to make it sage for us
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killer_raj:
which one click did u use??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
I'm hoping it was Designgears version - it might be old but I know that it works.

But try the whole jam the battery while holding the volume buttons trick - then try the resistor.

I know some folks have been selling the lil' pre-made jobs on the internet just to make it easier.

If all else fails - ask for an exchange unit at an AT&T store (because you did buy the $4.99 warranty - yes?)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Does odin recognize the phone, if you go through the proper steps to put in dl mode, even though the screen is black? Its possible you may not see the in dl mode, but odin will. Then you can flash to stock with odin. But do not, DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT USE THE OLD 3 BUTTON FIX.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jferg5:
I have been using dg's since I got the phone. Working on resistor now. Odin doesn't recognize at all. Att said its a software issue and I need to talk to samsung. Since the flash completed, it should have the 2.1 software on it now right?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irrussell146:
Is there any way I could have someone walk me through this. With my cappy i can go in and out of flashing roms and going into download. But with my younger brothers i tried and its just stuck on a black screen. We might try going for a return but if I can save it and atleast get it to boot up exchanging it would be much smoother. Please any help will do.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
The problem is that the old 3 button fix is an SBL without a PBL. That retard unleashed bricks upon us.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
So you guys used the 3button fix? This caused the bricks? Just trying to clarify.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
^^Flashing "3 button fix" is the most common cause of destruction of phones. "3 button fix" is a SBL without a matching PBL. You should never do that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Pbl= primary bootloader

Sbl= secondary bootloader

They must match. If they don't, your phone won't work. Only way to save the phone is jtag (at this point in time). Adam is working on some stuff that may change that(btw, thanks Adam got your hard work on this subject).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
I'm aware and grateful of Adams efforts to eliminate the need for jtag. I see no pbl in the log provided by Adam in his post relating to his brick phone. This makes me assume he flashed the 3 button. But I do see a boot.bin. I was under the impression this was a pbl.

Sent from my i897 running MIUI 1.8.12 with TalonMTD kernel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
boot.bin = IBL+PBL (Initial BootLoader + Primitive BootLoader)... However, the IBL is not written as a protection method on our phones.... It's not quite apparent why they lock the IBL. The IROM is locked and the IBL is locked. After that, the PBL can be changed.

Sbl.bin = secondary bootloader

On newer phones they've locked down the PBL and the SBL (Thank god). You can change the kernel which means you can run anything linux based.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
So if someone were to add the proper boot.bin file to the old 3 button fix, it would stop the brick problem?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
It should stop the bricks related to 3 button but there's no way to stop the old files from floating around. It looks like Adam flashed boot.bin with his odin run though I'm assuming it was the correct one so I don't think that is the culprit for this brick. I'm still trying to figure out why this happened to him and jferg. At this point I just think they had a bad connection and were very unlucky.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
I think it's just Odin's methods. I trust Heimdall much more.

I've bricked several phones. Odin, taking a pbl off the phone and trying to reflash it, quite a few things.... I own 3 captivates, I've warrantied 3 and I have 2 bricks now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
I see. On a somewhat related note, what does formatting boot in cwm format? I have done this before flashing a rom stupidly and it did not hard brick. Was still able to get into dl mode.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A.VOID:
Well, I used the 3 button fix and it appears I have a brick. Black screen and my jig won't do anything.

Is there anything out there that will fix it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
You'll need JTAG repair until we can get the UnBrickable mod finished. If you send it to me, I can fix it. Send me a PM.

I'm using two accounts (Gmail and Exchange) and two email applications (Gmail and Email).

I choose an option to notify me, when email arrives (when I'm on network). But on Exchange account (Email application) this don't work. When phone is on stand by (black screen), I can't see any notification (there is no sound ..., nothing).

I'm using SGS with 2.3.4 on it.

Any idea?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcph:
Since upgrading my Bell ATRIX to Gobstopper 2.3.4 released by NFHimself, I have been having a few minor issues. One of them is that whenever I receive a new email (Hotmail, tried both pop and active sync, same result), com.Motorola.service.main force closes. For instance if I am looking at the list of emails and a new one comes in, I get the FC and the inbox screen closes. I can go back in and read my email, but this crash is annoying. I noticed that if I disable notifications for emails, the bug disappears. Simply disabling vibration and setting the ringtone to silent does not fix it, I have to untick "Notifications ".

Any ideas?

[Motorola Photon 4G] kimmied2000:
noob question...

Will someone develop a Sense-like ROM, once development gets underway for the Photon? I really liked Sense, but did not like the 3vo's sound/speaker quality. I would love a sense ROM on the Photon.

Is it possible to strip the sense interface from 3vo and stick it on the Photon? Will this only be possible if bootloader is cracked or would it be possible with root only?

Sorry if the question is redundant or too simplistic for this forum.

Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
it can be done but why? it's like a beautiful woman with a snaggletooth she's perfect till she smiles and ruins everything...
[Motorola Photon 4G] randomrobbi:
I honestly don't understand why everyone raves about sense. Yeah, its pretty, but never really added any functionality for me. I had an evo, and had a Evo Shift and the first chance I had to dump sense, I did.

I loved touchwiz on my epic, because it was basically just stock, tweaked a little.

To me HTC Sense is bloated and unnecessary. When you can't do certain things in sense that you can in stock android, it seems pointless.

Also, I don't know why everyone hates on blur. I know the old blur sucked, but whatever Ninja or Ghost blur the photon is running I absolutely LOVE.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kimmied2000:
@randomrobbi - "When you can't do certain things in sense that you can in stock android, it seems pointless"...maybe I missed something...what can't you do with sense that you can with stock?

The thing I miss most about sense is the widgets, especially the email one. It would show unread push email from several accounts including an exchange account and gmail. I liked that it would show the unread count immediately like photon does for voicemail.

I also liked the unlock screen where you could drag the slider circle to one of 4 apps that you want to use immediately.

And, yes, it was pretty. Couldn't a sense ROM have the bloatware stripped from it so that wouldn't be an issue?
[Motorola Photon 4G] randomrobbi:
I guess I misspoke about that. It's just harder to carry out some actions in sense, as compared to stock android. Like hitting dialer, and being able to easily access your starred contacts. I just felt like Sense added alot of extra steps to simple actions. I guess i'm just biased, but the first android I owned was an HTC Hero, which I never rooted or put a rom on. I didnt keep it long and went back to my blackberry. I've just always been more a fan of AOSP Android.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bandage:
kimmie...try out THIS lockscreen. Same as the Sense one Agile Lock Screen
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bandage:
Also...I miss the Sense 3.0 Notification bar. Effin amazing. Has tons of toggles, quick access to apps, etc. Was so convenient & slick.
[Motorola Photon 4G] starcastic:
I'm sure I'm also in the minority but I happen to really like Sense, both visually and from an ease of use standpoint when setting up new devices. That said, I often turn a lot of those things off, or flip back and forth between various launchers but I still miss it sometimes. DEFINITELY agree about the Notifications, those are just the way I'd like them to be.

I'd love to see an installable Sense but it seems pretty deeply entangled in the rest of the system, just like Blur, so I dont know how well it'd work as a standalone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nunyabiziz:
+1:D

Im coming out of the closet too. I love the build and accessories of the Photon but im so damn used to Sense. Its like driving home from work, sure there are many ways but after awhile you find and get used to the fastest and easiest way home. Vogue, TP, TP2, Evo 4G and Evo 3D...currently Photon. Some days I forget how to get home.;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Oh how about a touchwiz 4.0 like rom :p I really do miss my quick panel in the notification bar it was really handy :/
[Motorola Photon 4G] twospirits:
With the HTC Sense api recently available, i am sure that someone will start creating widgets and icons etc for other non-sense devices.

hmmm that didn't sound right, oh well, hope you guys know what I mean. lol

TS out
[Motorola Photon 4G] bluephi1914:

Ifeel the same, I love the Motorola Photon... better speaker, better signal strength, call quality is better also... It just seems to be a little stronger over all.... But I miss the Sense 3.0. Sense is fluid with no lag.

The Motorola Blur has a slight delay when switching back and forth between home screens. I used to miss the graphical HTC widgets, but i have beautiful widgets for that so i am not realy missing anything. I just miss the speed and fluidness of Sense technology.
[Motorola Photon 4G] detcup4evr:
The Delay can be removed with the super charger script, my buddy's Photon is now just about as smooth/quick as my Syngery Evo
[Motorola Photon 4G] brandonkahn:
The delay can be removed by adding launcher pro, turning off screen animations and putting all speed at 10... fastest phone out there then, faster and smoother than evo 3d.. i know because ive owned both lol

Edit: i know a lot of people prefer adw or GO but i dig LauncherPro.. also dont care about the updates as much because cool thing about blur is that you can use the widgets still once the overlay is installed, unlike sense.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
What the hell are you doing back here? According to your thread in the 3d forums, this phone is a piece of ****. However your info about launcher pro and the settings is correct.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
I don't understand the hate for the M.A.P. launcher I actually dig it
[Motorola Photon 4G] enigmatl:
Try Launcher Pro as the launcher, register it for the senselike social widget, and get Weather & Toggle Widgets and tbe weather widget forecast addon for your flip clock. This makes for a NICE senselike alternative.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xboxfanj:
I think any phone with ClockworkMod Recovery can flash TW 4.0. It said that on the homepage awhile ago. Go to the Galaxy S i9000 forums in the Themes and Apps section and one of them is flashable I think and works on any device.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Dude remember how unstable it was on our EPICS? I wonder if it has gotten any better though
[Motorola Photon 4G] DssTrainer:
I used to be a sense guy too.. I mean.. compared to stock android... it blows it out of the water... After getting the Evo I got my wife a Samsung Moment... I upgraded it to 2.2 but I never saw stock android before... I thought it was still 1.5 or something because I couldn't believe stock android looked that bad...

Stock android is ugly as sin.. and the widgets are less than ****.

But then I found Launcher Pro and its "almost-like-sense" widgets for calendar and facebook and I've never looked back. I loved Evo Deck on my Evo and Evo Shift Deck on my wifes phone because it is CM7 with ADW Craplauncher removed and LP added... a much better choice I must say.

LP's widgets are the only thing close to Sense's widgets so until another launcher starts pushing good widgets... I'll never leave.

So to answer the OP... Launcher Pro is the only Sense-like option you have... combined with Fancy Widgets for the flip clock (its the only one that does auto-update of weather based on GPS.)
[Motorola Photon 4G] codee:
I'd love to have the sense 3.0 notification bar on the photon - all the toggles and recent Apps are extremely handy.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sporklover:
I'm also missing a good quality Sense 3.0 experience.
