Factory Reset?

Hi..I have a question..may sound silly..I am on XXKPE, rooted and deodexed..If I factory reset my phone now, will I loose my root and deodex features and end up with a stock fw??:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Nope but you will loose details on your phone. Apps , etc. All wiped. System file's remain the same, it's the data that gets wiped.

Help Me Guys...

How to Flash My i9003 :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
There's already a few flash guides out there please use the search tool.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chipwizz:
Friends,

It is a off-topic post but need quick recommendation/help.

(Beware :) ) another side effect of flashing in open. Y'day my 6 yr son gave me a small tape which i later on realised that it was GPS antena from my I9003 back panel. Is there anyway to fix it replace it? I tried service center, guys are simply in bliss(read ignorance). My oppologies for the offtopic post. Thanks in advance.

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
Unless you can find what you are looking for on ebay or somewhere else. Its the service centre. We're talking about hardware here not software, you can't just fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
Hmmm... seems to be a lot going on, maybe I could help!

@Chipwizz: LOL! Although, if it's come clean off, it's a hardware break (it might meed to be soldered on) so your best bet is the service center.

@Pralinos: After flashing XXKPH, I reflashed the multi-CSC from KPE (OXAKPE) and chose CPW as my region. I think the same thing should work for you (I have had no problems so far). Logic says that the CSC files stay mostly the same across releases (for me, DDKB2 and DDKF1 both had the same CSC file - DDKA6). GB to GB, hence, should not be a problem. Then all you need to do is change the region code to XEF (as I will mention later below).

@Lazy_whisperer: You use CWM eh? You know what happens is you flash a CWM version that is for a different firmware (i.e CWM for XXKC1 over XXKPE or XXKPH)? You get a boot loop. That *may* be what's happening. CWM is firmware specific, even for stuff flashed from Kies.

As for Kies not being able to update your phone, it is because your region code isn't set right. After fully flashing XXKC1, open the dialer and type in the following code:

Note: To find your IMEI number, you can use the code: *#06#

*#272*<your 15 digit IMEI number>#

In the menu following, select your region (I am guessing "SER" for Russia)

***WARNING: THIS WILL IMMEDIATELY, AND WITHOUT CONFIRMATION, WIPE ALL USER DATA***

The above method will set up your code. Provided you are using XXKC1 (SER) you can update to XXKPH using Kies.

But remeber the note about CWM. You must have the one for the XXKPH firmware or else you will experience... well... what you have been experiencing (boot loops DOH!).

Hope this helps!

And remember: Flash responsibly ;P !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] attaw:
ok sir thank you so much
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Thanks for the information.

In my case, I already have XEF when I enter *#272*<my IMEI>#, so I assume my country code / sales code is already correct.

But when I enter *#1234#, I have this CSC : I9003SERKPH

This is what I want to change : I'd like to have I9003XEFKPH (or I9003XXKPH) but I don't know if it's possible, I don't even know if a CSC with this name really exists. I didn't find any information about it with Google.

That's what is getting me on my nerves. From Samsung's point of view, why should I have a Russian CSC in my phone?

I tried to twick Kies with SpoofFW app, just to see if I could register another CSC name, but it didn't work. Kies has recognized the real CSC name (I9003SERKPH), although another one appeared in SpoofFW (either I9003XEFKPH or I9003XXKPH, I tried both).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] :
Here is my view!

The camera works.

Wi-Fi connnectivity has improved ( it does not disconnect suddenly)

GPS locks in about 10 seconds on the First floor (on Wi-Fi-) and about 22 seconds (on EDGE).

Drive and walk is a new feature added.( I still prefer google maps! :P)

All the apps and games working for KPE are working on KPH (Almost!)

CF-Root works and hence you get CWm.

You can deodex using the .zip!

No lag is seen as such!

The phone lasted for about 1 day and some hours on battery..with Wi-fi being on for about 4-5 hours, and the music player for about 5 hours! ( That is EPICNESS :D)

Minecraft can be played

Allover- The FW rocks! And with the source code on, it is gonna be a Bright Bright future for i9003!

Is this thing worth the upgrade? A- Yes, yes it is!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
@Pralinos: Yea... I get what you're trying to do. I've tried to do the exact same thing but for DDKA6 (INU). Even the country code isn't there on OXAKPE :mad: !

The main problem is that Kies downloads single .tar files for official firmware versions. Unlike the samfirmware leaks (i.e dev versions) where they provide different CSC, MODEM and PDA files. And where the package the multi CSC.

If we could take the config.rfs from the official version of the firmware of which we need the CSC, and flash itusing ODIN, it could work great. I tried it once by repackaging it as a .tar, but it failed to install as /system/INU could not be found :( .

Need more research. And expertise!

@Rohan: Yes I finally upgraded once CF-ROOT was released and OH MY GAWD! It is smooooooth! :D Very happy with this stable release!

what is the name of csc file in xxkph zip?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
Chipwizz.. my gawwddd... its something really terrible that happened to your phone.... only option is to go to their service center and jump on the manager's head... and probably hit a few there with a big sledgehammer while shouting expletives and waving your phone bill......

Though I am not sure whether these guys would actually do something or not.... mostly the service center people believe in replacing the whole.motherboard rather than individual components!

That has been my experience at Nokia and Motorola! All the best for this endeavour!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rb210:
Hi I'm in the US right now and I can't get 3G to work. Is it possible to flash the CSC from a US ROM on samfirmware.com? Or is there another simpler way to get 3G working? The US ROM is 2.2 based and I'm running XXKPH.

EDIT: Nevermind. I followed this guide and flashed modem.bin from LUBKD1 (latest US region 2.2 firmware). Works fine now.

Maps/Latitude sucks the life out of battery!

Hey guys ever since I updated to kph, my battery life has been quite bad. Under battery history it shows maps as 2nd highest (highest being display), funny actually cause in froyo display was always at the bottom with 3-5% inspite of being on for 2.5hrs plus! but thats another thing :p

Now my thing is why doesn't maps let my phone sleep?? My issue is battery drain while idle, I use latitude as I need it, but I never had this issue with froyo, it used to update itself automatically with negligible or insignificant battery drain. But on 2.3.4 it keeps the damn phone awake continuously for hours...

Why so?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marselcj:
I faced the same problem with KPH. You must "SIGN OUT" from Latitude when you don't use it, otherwise it will stay connect all the time.

What about the sync of GMail? Does it works when the screen is off? Cause I went back to FROYO XXKC1 because off this issue, and because of the battery drain. Everything is working fine now: GMail is syncing all the time, and my battery life is improved.:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kirankowshik:
XXKPE CWM for XXKPH?

Hi guys..can I use XXKPE's CWM for XXKPH?? since they both are 2.3.4??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Well i was having that same syncing issue while screen was off! Gmail would notify and get new mails only when woken up and so would whatsapp... but funnily after some reboots all is normal now! Just yesterday it was acting all erratic (I flashed yesterday) but today its fine!

The only thing that bugs me is the latitude issue, I like to keep a track of where I've been everyday, so this comes in really handy...

Any one else having similar issues?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
It's the XXKPE file for a temporary fix. Once it works, then flash XXKPH again.

Market from PC does not work

Hi..upgraded to KPH from KPE..everything is fine but when I try to install apps from android market on PC, it says cannot find any associated android phones..the market on my phone is running fine and able to download apps..have anyone faced this issue???:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Latitude has issues. I had those issues on KB3 and still have it. I do sign out of it once I'm done and it helps, although that sucks. No way out of it yet.

Display's been on top pretty much since KP7, but doesn't seem to hurt overall battery life, so there isn't much to worry.

GMail sync works fine here. In fact almost everything syncs and notifies as usual. That's both on Wi-Fi and 3G.

Check your sync profiles under Accounts & sync. Also, are you using any battery aids like Juice Defender?

No. Why would you want to do that anyway?

Did you tinker with network numeric values?

Download Market Enabler, look up your network code on Google and enter it manually on ME, enable "set on boot" and reboot your device.

Sign out of Market on browser, close and re-launch browser and sign back in. Your phone should show up.

Also, I'm assuming you didn't change SIM cards. If you did, you might have to sign out of your Google account and sign back in on your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kirankowshik:
Got back market access in PC..all I did was to update market to the latest one i.e. 3.0.27..and voila..able to install apps from PC market

Hi..does anyone know if NFS shift works on gingerbread? I am KPH and I installed the apk but when launched, I just see the EA screen and the game crashes back to home screen..

Buh bye Guys, Had a Great time with you all..I got myself a new Samsung Galaxy S i9000..!!Thanx to all those who helped me with i9003..!!And all the best to the i9003 devs..Skin,Rex,Trip,Misledz,Vivek,spacebar,Ronhoover,nama and all the other devs..!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
If I were you, I would have waited for the Galaxy R or something at this class unless I got a really good deal. Not to mention i9003 dev progress is picking up. For me, the Galaxy S2 is out as I have used it for some time (my brother has it) and I totally hate its Super Amoled Plus color saturation. I haven't seen color that as unnatural saturated before. I'm using a Dell UltraSharp you know :D.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
using it on kph, works fine. You might have a version not compatible with SGSL
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
The galaxy S2 i easily brickable I have already sent mine for JTAG for 4 times already. Its a fast phone but I don't like its build and stuff like that, cheap plastic, LOL!!:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
And also my bro tried my phone and went WTF, it's as fast as a Galaxy S2 lol. Well I know at least the GUI is :D thanks to KPH and Skin's work on CF-ROOT so I can have ext4 on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
LMAO!, Yes, spacebar told me that aswell, that the phone feels like cheap plastic and rather contemplated to sell it. Sad how a damned fast phone can be made of cheapass plastic. Regardless, I'm tempted to get it or the eee transformer seems promising with it's "OTG" ;)

I think I'd be sticking with the I9003 scene a bit longer actually. Don't see myself replacing this phone way too easily.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] japzcanda:
how to deodex?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
Samsung made it out of cheap plastic probably because of its light weight I think...:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanu_invincible:
Yea..But didnt want to spend more..Galaxy S in Mumbai,india is now just about the same price as that of galaxy SL..!!So got it cheap..!!And not to forget custom roms kernel support is just the best for the original S..!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mitoVonDido:
I'm only use this i9003 phone for almost 3 months now..and i dont plan to replace it..not until s3 coming out in the future..n i feel this i9003 has something we didn't explore yet n fullfill its potential to the max performance :p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Cheap plastic as in it doesn't feel any worse than the SL. I hate the plastic back cover with a vengeance. Already sanded and texture painted it and it looks like carbon fiber now! :D Going to do the same to my SL too.. when I find some time. Apart from that, all's good.

I sometimes can't quite believe that its the same company that makes the 9 Series! Look at those beauties or the Tab 10.1 even and then look at the S2, feels like the design team slapped on the back cover as an afterthought! How much more of a hassle would it have been to make it rubberised or brushed aluminium? Dimwits!

Sorry, there's no fix for what I don't see! You might have to re-flash or go back to KC1 as you say.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shriom_manerker:
yes ! i have installed nfs shift and it works flawless no problems @ all !! everythings fine ! n smooth as butter :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
@space. The bloody case shell that comes/came free with it really pissed me off, The metal frame and back plastic started getting these friction marks everytime I take it out to pop out the battery, There was this thin armor skin that I thought of getting, But didn't fit the budget as an ideal replacement.

This bloody annoying case is what killed my phone's metal frame
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
I have considered the case in your pic when I wanted one but opted for this instead. This one is very good, it also go higher thn your screen for about 1-2mm so if my phone falls face down, there won't be just as much damage.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
The Gallilio killed it. Makes it look like a china phone :\
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
I don't care about looks much, I just hate the battery cover shiny surface too much. I have seen some nicer looking one but they are not available here and only Chinese looking ones, so I went with the one I think have the best protection. IMO that accursed white one of yours is just as Chinese looking :D.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
True story bro LOL, A leather casing would be nice aswell. Would fit really well with the job description haha.

On another note , In regards to this, There seems to be USB OTG enabled in this firmware as per the source code. Does anyone have a USB Mini to test it?

OT: Anyone heard of the new ApplevsSamsung war? BS win again on their side.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] abul06sg:
Guys, any idea if this version is the official released by Samsung. Does it support Gtalk video call as expected in android 2.3.4?

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
USB OTG are you seriuos?? May be just something to do with the sources....if it doesn't work on stock rom...then skin can achieve it!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
@Ron :D Either cases it's win-win :D If it's enabled by default then I will cry popcorn. I would love to use a bluetooth mouse/keyboard on my phone. I find it epic when a mouse cursor pops out from the homescreen.

Guys,

I am using xxkph with tw4 or tw4.5. both these lag like hell sometime with this firmware. Since i am a die hard fan of tw, i want to use it. Used CF Root and played with almost all combinations of tweaks. Also converted the file system to ext4 and checked without ext4 too but lag remains there.

Any suggestions?

Please no other launcher. I know there are good launchers but i like tw

I mess around with the TeamViewer app and watch Win 7 "run" on my phone's screen just for the giggles! :p

I think its included in the kernel, has to be figured out somehow.

So what do you still like about it? :p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
I guess I spoke too soon! Sometimes the sync works but other times it does not! This its very annoying as it not only happens with gmail but also with whatsapp! I do not get notifications, sms and reminders are fine... Does whatsapp use push notifications? If yes then push notifications are not working properly for me! I have background and auto sync enabled for my google settings but still persists... Its like the phone goes into deep sleep and gets everything only when woken up, I really like gb so don't wanna go back to froyo...

Are marcelcj and me the only users facing this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
dont have this issue, even tested it various times with sending mails stock mail app as well as gmail while phone is sleeping and i keep getting notifications without any delays

BUT to have push notifications work properly, you have to restart your phone every 2-3 days (after this time stock mail app doesnt check for mails anymore, you have to manually refresh your accounts), doesnt happen with gmail though...

and this issue i have had since i bought the phone couple months ago
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Have you upgraded to kph? Or are you still on froyo? Because I never had this issue with froyo, ever since I installed gb this issue has cropped up... I upgraded from kb2 to kph, could that be an issue?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marselcj:
For me, the same:eek:: sometimes sync works ok, but must of the time it doesn't!!! Only if I use the "refresh" command I get the new emails. And this issue I've faced it only on GGB, and with FROYO works very well.

This is bad, very bad:mad:, because, as I sad before, GGB is must faster than FROYO!

Hi, yesterday i updated my phone to XXKPH by KIES. Some users say that now it's possible to play MKV's in stock player. I've tried some, but is says file type not "supported". Maybe it's because I've updated the phone via KIES and not by ODIN. Please could anybody try tomtom2k5.free.fr/mkv/720p/californication.105.720p.hdtv.x264.sample-hdq.mkv MKV video sample on stock player.

Thanks!

How to mdify GPS settings?

I flashed KPH (after KPE as per the instructions). In this firmware, how do you modify the GPS settings? Froyo had LbsTestMode in which I had modified some settings (Eg: changing to MS Assisted/MS Based, changing Accuracy etc). But I cannot find both LbsTestMode and AngryGPS in KPH. I tried the key combo, but nothing came up, I tried "Any Cut", couldnt find both the names. Any idea how to get the GPS settings? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Never had those issues on Froyo, don't have 'em now. I can't seem to tell why its behaving that way for you guys. Is it just on 3G that you encounter this or on Wi-Fi too?

Doesn't matter how you upgraded, it should play 720p MKV without a hitch.

Try and check the audio formats in the MKV you're trying to play. Also, sometimes the encoding method used for the MKV can cause playback issues. Try converting it to Android compliant media and then try.

Try GPS Aids v2 from Market.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ghardashyan:
I've tried many ( ~10 ) MKV files from different sources (not even hd ), but they can't be opened.:(

Please, try the file from the last post, and check do the stock player play it. If it does, it means that something wrong with my f/w. Thanks!

I just flashed to XXKPH from DXKF1. I used just the single file flash method whereas using XXKPH tar file in PDA and latona.pit in PIT and chose not to format. It went pretty neat and was successful. The outcome of *#1234# is as below

PDA: I9003XXKPH

Phone: I9003XXKPH

CSC: I9003XXKPH

Build Info: Tue Aug 9 21:09:27 KST 2011

Camera is working fine after a single flash itself.

Haven't tried videos.

Asphalt 5 is working fine too.

Upgraded to XXKPH

Upgraded to XXKPH from XXKPE..overall operation took about 15 minutes including factory reset and some checks..my feedback..

Phone Response: Better that KPE I would say..apps are responding much faster and overall touch sensitivity is better

Games: Better if not similar to KPE..playing asphalt 6, nfs shift, fast and furious hd fine..

GPS: This is where this firmware is superb..getting a lock in no time at all..and even in closed places where I did not get a lock in KPE..drive and walk is amazing

Sound: The same as in KPE

Battery life: havent tested extensively yet but after upgrading yesterday afternoon to KPH around 3 PM and charging it to 60%, I havent plugged in the charger till today 12 PM and the battery still shows around 10%..all this after some nfs gaming, emails, angry birds, maps and web browsing..

Videos: Plays 720 p mkv smoothly..tested other formats like mp4 and they also work fine..

Pinch in app drawer: stutters slightly when all animations are on..if animations are off, it works better..

live wallpapers: very slight lag when moving through home screens..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
used 3-4 FROYO FW's plus KPE and now i am on KPH, and as i said... as long as i reboot my phone every couple days, its no problem

i dont run on 3G or mobile data at all, i only use Wifi, and that like 16 hours a day...

might it be that if i connect to wifi after "mail check" where i havnt been on Wifi that this happens though and i perceive it as "every few days it breaks"?

might as well be that mail check gets messed up if you change check frequency too often?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Dipu K:
GPS setting

Tried GPS Aids v2, the tool worked, but when I go to codes and check for the LbsTestMode/AngryGPS, nothing opens :(

So I dont know if the GPS is standalone or MS-Based...
