[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bosna110:
ok, my advice to you is

go to google and download virtualbox

then go to ubuntu.com and download the free iso

and then after that open virtualbox

then go to new

and follow instructions.

it should boot in a virtual machine to act as if you were using a second computer.

Let me know if you get stuck somewhere so i can help you out.

Ok yall so im having a slight problem. I wanted to reset my phone and after I did i noticed that my radio is only picking up gprs signals. 3g and 2g won't work. Either that or they just won't pop up on there. Ive tried using a deiffernet sim card in the phone and it still did the same thing so that is ruled out. Can somebody help me out?

Please forgive this ignorant question, but what are the odds that CM7 will get ported to the T589?

I know Samsung released the files a few days ago, but I'm skeptical. Thoughts? :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bosna110:
wk, i dont know honestly. We are all awaiting gingerbread patiently. After that we will start making better roms for the phone. But to answer your question. there is a possibility but i can not tell you they will or they wont.. there isnt enough resources for that to happen

So why exactly r we waitng for gingerbread? Is froyo hard to develop for?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeD215:
Gingerbread is irrelevant, I don't see any improvements to our phone why because it doesn't have the cpu or resources to make a difference..we don't even have native flash. When I had my lg O1 I couldn't wait till ginger got there..only to find out minor improvements and even at a cm7 rom level, so seriously it isn't hard to make a froyo rom..what we STILL need is a kernal and a recovery..but I mean technically it can be done like ard did and make something from the stock stuff and used a update.zip...it benefits to have things like a complied kernal and those attributes.

We pretty much have to 3x work htc guys do..some of you know samsung phones are wired different hence the complexity...I'm just about ready to chuck my phone in a revene because my battery is like a 80yr old women in a walker poor performer..and just the overall lack of new things for it.. beh...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bosna110:
Mike, the way you just described it made me laugh so very hard hahahahahahaahahaha. Well GB should be here soon. Atleast i hope. Then we can start working on that. I mean i know we need a newer kernel and a recovery manager but yeah.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ideotera:
I really just highly doubt gingerbread is coming for this and even if it did, the roms y'all made removed the ota updat feature. What we need is a good smart core of developers like Ar that are willing to sit down and tinker till they get results

This phone just recently came out. My sister picked it while I picked out the cheaper P509 (LG Optimus T).

From day one the T589 has been a slow unusuable monster for her, constantly running out of internal memory and sluggish in general. Unfortunately, there's nothing she can do to exchange the phone, so she's stuck with what is (in my opinion) badly engineered software junk.

Hi guys thanks for tip and confirmation!

First off I'm not even sure I'm posting at the right place (1st post, n00b), but it seems to address my problem or at least what I was looking to do.

So I did all the operations from the "More" menu, except "recreate mount script" and "clear all app caches".

Running "clean up the 2nd partition" >> details: shows up ~170MB unneeded files (mostly apk's) according to link2sd.

When I rebooted >> SD1 seems unchanged & SD2 significantly reduced as expected. However, internal memory gone from ~30MB down to 900KB ?

about 20 apps got moved to SD1, nothing shows in internal memory. This is all according to link2sd, it's not very congruent with the native app2sd information.

It's really all messed up, made no sense to me whatsoever. Link2sd displays one thing, Android another, App2SD (the app) yet another.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Help with Odin

Based on various sites and forums (I cant show you which ones because I'm not allowed to post urls) I tried flashing my phone with Odin3 v1.85 and the firmware from Samfirmware.

I have KIES and the drivers installed on my PC. KIES recognizes the phone with no problems.

I press the power and both volume buttons until the screen says "Downloading" and connect it to my computer while Odin is running. The first "ID:COM" box turns yellow and displays "0:[COM6]".

I check the "PDA" box and click the "PDA" button to load the .tar.md5 file. The only other boxes that are checked are "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" (because they were already checked and I didn't want to change any defaults).

Here is the output:

<ID:0/006> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> T589UVKF1-T589UVKF1-T589UVKF1-HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..
<ID:0/006> File analysis..
<ID:0/006> SetupConnection..

It gets stuck at "SetupConnection.." and I have to remove the battery to get the phone out of "downloading" mode (I don't know if that's normal or not)

Does anyone know if I should be using a different version of Odin or if I'm doing something else wrong?

TIA
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keith1764:
I found the answer on my own. The firmware from samfirmware.com (can't provide the link, you have to register and search) is a "one package" file. The "one package script" and Odin v4.40 are available here (requires registration):

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f200/samsung-t589r-flasher-needed-urgently-1429361/

Decompress, run Odin, click the "OPS" button, browse to the Gt2_tmo_v1.0.ops file, click the "One Package" button, browse to the samfirmware file, click start, and you're good to go.

/efs backup

Thanks for this thread - it's one of the only places online where I've actually been able to find info about the gravity smart.

I just got this phone today, and was able to easily root it - so far so good.

I want to install the custom ROM available, but before I do that I wanted to be able to back up the /efs files. Only problem is I can't get to them, even using EFS Pro. Nitrality isn't available in the play store for the device and I'd rather not have to spend cash for the root explorer app (yeah, I'm cheap).

Anyone know how to back up the /efs folder?

From what I have found the titanium back up does not work on this phone like it does on other androids, so far I have found it does not give you the uninstal option when you hold down on the icon. I did find, however, that in root browser if you go to system apps or preinstal you are able to delete some of the factory apps from there. Just be carefull when deleting, make sure you dont delete any files you may need. Hope this helps.

Break in Gingerbread (possibility)

Okay, So I have been researching the ins and outs of this phone trying to remove the network lock. And to my suprise I found that there is a way to manually instal Gingerbread onto the phone. There will be no system updates since there is no Firmware. But I have also found a link to where people have beein installing firmwares in boot mode. Does anyone have an experimental phone to try this on?

My computer wont let me pull up the link for the manual instal of firmware. So just let me know. Thanks.

It is not letting me post the sites on here since I havent posted ten times yet. But if you want to try it you can do two things.

If you're new to development, you really don't want to try kernel dev on this phone. GBlues has been working on the kernel source, and apparently Samsung has provided buggy drivers with it and won't give him working ones. Also, it uses initramfs which makes everything a lot harder.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinisin:
Can anyone tell me how to take screenshots? Ive done it like 8 times but I cannot for the life of me figure out how I did it.

I hate this phone with a passion. Had an HTC Sensation but it was stolen. This POS was all I could afford to replace it. It reminds me a lot of my first android the Sanyo Zio by Kyocera. At least that thing has a recovery and a custom kernel.

Im hoping to see a kernel for this phone someday before I upgrade again. Hopefully it has Voodoo Music Control Support. I am not too concerned with voltage tables and overclock as Im sure this pissant processor couldnt handle much more then it already is.

Just a random plug here. Im using System Tuner Pro to play with build prop and some other features. I have this phone loaded to the max with apps all linked witht the exception of System Tuner and all system apps. This thing is WAY faster and more responsive. Its running like a fresh install of the rom with no user apps. Fast fast.

Also to address something I read earlier in one of the threads around here, possibly the other forum, about updates to system apps. Use your root file explorer to rename the updates that go to /data/app to the name of the corresponding app in /system/app and then move them from /data/app to /system/app and reboot. Saves space in /data and lets you run the most current version without having to link them. Ive done this for ALL Google apps(even my older copy of Goggles, Play Music, Maps, YouTube, Street View etc.). Facebook. Ive put in my paid email app and my paid voice recorder app. Just renamed them to the name they took over in /system/app. This works almost ALL of the time, but Im sure there are apps out there it wouldnt be so great with, but with a phone like this every kb counts. Even pushed SwiftKey to /system/app renamed as AxT9IME.apk.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaunOfTheLive:
It's back + home. You hold the back button with the tip of your finger, then press the home button with the rest of it.

Yeah, this is an off-contract replacement for me too. But my old phone was actually a touchscreen dumb phone, so I'm just happy to have any Android. With the price of this phone being almost equivalent to a touch-screen dumb phone, I thought it was the perfect time to get into the smartphone world. Now I'm hooked, and my next contract I'll get a Nexus.

Or, just use the option in Link2SD called "Integrate update into system ROM" that does it automatically for you. Great tip, though. Since the system partition doesn't count against your free space on your task manager, I also converted a few regular apps to system apps using Link2SD (things like Titanium Backup and ES File Explorer). I really have that partition packed tightly now; about 3.5 MB free.

I can't believe this phone has 186 MEGAbytes of internal space, and the Galaxy Nexus has 16 GIGAbytes. 88 times the space.

EDIT: Oh, another tip: if you use "Samsung Apps", and you let it update, it just leaves an unneeded APK file lying around in /data/data/com.sec.android.app.samsungapps/files. You can delete that if you're rooted using a root file explorer (like ES File Explorer with the right settings.)

EDIT: I just thought of another tip (although it's more of a WARNING): some sites say it's safe to delete the entire dalvik-cache folder in order to clear out old files that aren't being used. This is usually true, but NOT if you've linked a lot of dalvik-cache files using Link2SD. Usually, Android will just recreate the dalvik-cache files and everything will be alright, but if you also delete the links created by Link2SD that live there, it'll recreate the full cache files for those too, which can end up filling your entire data partition. I had to factory reset because of this mistake once (Android wasn't smart; it recreated the cache for my user apps FIRST, so I ended up having no room for cache for basic system apps like Dialer/Phone. They will CRASH if the cache can't be created.) However, it is safe to use Link2SD's "Clean up the dalvik-cache" option, because it only detects files that truly aren't being used.

Fix wifi

Hi guys

I have the sgh-t589w, it's the wind mobile version of this phone in Canada. I installed the custom rom by gblues and now my wifi and 3g don't work. I've downloaded the source code for this model from samsung open source, and compiled a new kernel in an attempt to fix the phone. I took the zimage and bcm4329.ko files that were created and copied them into the koush anykernel package.

I ran the recovery on my phone and it claimed success. I don't appear to be running the newly built kernel though. My bcm4329.ko was updated, but of course it doesn't work since the correct kernel isn't installed.

I've spent the last few hours scouring the internet trying to find a way to flash this zimage over to my phone another way.

The options I've found include going into fastboot mode (can't figure out how to get my phone into this mode, or if it's possible), packaging the zimage into an existing boot.img (don't see any that exist) and using mobile odin (doesn't recognize my phone model).

What are some alternatives I can try? Everything I know about android I've learned in the last couple days, but I'm running linux and reasonably tech savvy.

Help is greatly appreciated

arhtard's rom

the only problem i have with this rom is that at least in canada this seems to be useless as it is a lower version then the phones base firmware
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkshado:
Except for their Nexus models there's no fastboot mode on every Samsung Android device I'm familiar with. You'll usually have to work with Odin, or a combination of CWM and the dd command.

I checked and Samfirmware doesn't have a stock T589W image up yet.

You could dump the various bml and stl partitions from your phone and get your boot.img that way. Be very careful with stl5 (/efs) or whatever its equivalent is on the T589, even read-only operations have been known to hard-brick the phone or corrupt the IMEI of other Qualcomm MSM7227 based Samsung models like the Gio and Ace.
