[General Questions and Answers] Darkshado:
The stock recovery isn't rooted and I don't recall being able to use the su command either. The Clockworkmod-based (I say based because the one we have isn't an "official" Koushik Dutta CWM release) recovery, however, is rooted, which means that commands like mount work, and that su isn't necessary. You get a # shell from the get go.

ADB is Android Debug, it is part of the Android SDK. You'll need to install a Java Development Kit (java.com, JDK) and install the SDK after.

If the SDK installer complains that it doesn't find JDK after you've installed it, just press the "Back" button, and next again to work around this known bug.

The SDK contains a number of tools for developpers. ADB is used to issue various commands to the phone, like:

-"push" and "pull" which allow file transfers between the computer and the phone (though the stock kernel on the 5660M restricts this somewhat compared to, say, what a Nexus running a custom ROM would)

-reboot (in download or recovery if you want)

-shell which gives you a terminal to enter commands directly on the phone. Android has a very strong Linux and Unix heritage, and most shell commands work exactly the same. Tons of additional info here and elsewhere online on this.

[General Questions and Answers] SuB-CoNsCiOuS:
Hi Darkshado,

I have windows XP 32-bit so I downloaded JAVA JDK x86 and installed it. I then installed ADB Shell.

I then launched command prompt and performed the following:

set PATH=%PATH%;D:\Downloads\ADB\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

After that, I tried flashing using your CWM-Over-boot tar file and the GIO_v1.0.ops file. ODIN was set to auto reboot and it still keeps flashing a blank screen. ODIN showed a PASS when I did this too.

Any ideas? Did I do something wrong?
[General Questions and Answers] Darkshado:
There's nothing special or really different to flashing this modified file other than the file itself. I have tested both the CWM-on-boot and the stock boot.img on my phone before uploading with no ill effect. So I'm at a bit of a loss to tell you what went wrong on your side. Especially with Odin giving you a Pass result.

I'm also hitting a wall right now trying to find my IMEI inside my own stl5 and bml5 dumps.

Even with the swapped bytes I've seen people refer to.

I also have both QPST and QXDM, and I can't get either to alter my IMEI...

To get QPST RF NV Manager to read properly, make sure you select the proper COM port, otherwise it throws an exception.

QPST EFS Explorer gives me access to the EFS partition, and unsurprisingly locks me out of the /mits folder, among others.

QXDM NV Browser shows a value named IMEI at number 457, and IMEI checksum number 458, ("Security" category) both returning a "NV Status Error Received: Parameter Bad" when I try to read them. I later found out that there's a UE IMEI ("WCDMA" category) at item 550, which can be read and shows the correct, byte swapped IMEI, but can't be written to.

Other values for which I have numbered entries in /efs/nvm/num/ read properly, except those in the 10000, which I somewhat expect as those are non-standard, manufacturer reserved entries.

That's all I have for now...
[General Questions and Answers] ortaca:
Sorry guys but is there anything else I can do to revive my S5660M (S5660MUGKG#)?

I have tried many different firmwares posted here but not success.

Every time after successful flashing (ODIN says "pass") after reboot my phone gets into the loop... with the screen blinking. Still can not get into recovery mode, only download mode.

Any other suggestions? I am really desperate.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Darkshado:
Did you try flashing the "Recovery-over-boot" image?

If its still bootlooping, I'm unfortunately out of ideas until we can figure a way to read the IMEI from the phone and flash it back.

Right now I can't find my own IMEI in either stl5 or bml5 dumps. QPST and QXDM haven't been any help either, expect perhaps to tell me that the IMEI might be stored somewhere else altogether...
[General Questions and Answers] SuB-CoNsCiOuS:
Hmm, I flashed every image you provided. Still no luck. I really appreciate your efforts though. Thanks again.
[General Questions and Answers] Darkshado:
I'm going to get some sleep now, and won't be online much for the next few days.

I do have one last update: I managed to read my IMEI off my phone with QPST's RF NV Manager. Select your COM port properly and then "Read from phone", it is at NV item number 550.

A

very

interesting bit of info is that this NV item is not in /efs/nvm/num/

I did not, however manage to change it yet. I typed in a properly byte swapped IMEI with a valid Luhn check digit. "Write NV" throws an error, and reading again gives back my original IMEI.

like many other users here, my BELL Gio (S5660M MUGKG3) is bricked, boot looping with Samsung logo, and can only get into Download Mode etc.

I tried all your solutions with no avail. I am hoping the store where I bought the device a few days ago will just take it back / exchange it without too many questions.

I was lucky enough, they eschanged it w/o asking too many questions ... a little reluctantly mind you, they said it was the first they return of the Gio they received.

My power button has become 100% unresponsive, i noticed it giving me problems last night when i installed Prime 1.8. It would not detect all key presses in CWM recovery. My question i guess then is how do i enter APX mode, or recovery for that matter, when both are accessed with this button? Really loving my transformer never wanted to RMA the lovely thing (hoping i dont have to as i dont want a b70 model sent to me). Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idaggerpwn:
My Transformer has recently developed the same issue. Unfortunately, I believe the only way to fix it is RMA.

I have also noticed that after a while, the power button works fine again. It works for a few presses then it doesn't work again. It's as if the button gets stuck and it bounces back after a while.

I'm going to wait a while and see if the situation improves. Like you, I do not want a Transformer with the new SBK key.

ill health though - bad times.
[Xoom General] Theme Ishere:
Cannot really say that I came as a surprise, considering his health problems. I just find it interesting, that he is doing it so close to the new Iphone 5 release. I already read the first Android Fanboy "He is just afraid, cause the new Crapple cannot compete with Android" and all that ****. Fanboys, you have to hate them, on either side.
[Xoom General] gqstatus0685:
They have too many smart people at Apple to fail. He'll still be affiliated with Apple so it's not that serious.
[Xoom General] sirius b:
I agree but it only takes one moron as a leasder to screw it up. I'm not saying Tim Cook will.

I am also surprised he made this move so close to the iPhone 5 launch he must be in much worse shape then he has let on.

I don't wish anything bad on anyone so lets hope he doesn't deteriorate any further.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
If Jobs were to leave--and with his health, it's when, not if--then this is the perfect time. He is at the peak of his success, and it's best to go out when you're on top.

It's good for the company as well. The iPhone5 will likely be another success, as will the eventual iPad3. These allow Cook to have an easy break-in period, not that he needs any. Impact on investor sentiment (company valuation) will be minimal.

Conceptually, I think Jobs has done all he can for Apple, even assuming he has another 5 years left in him. He has pioneered mobile computing, first with the iPhone, then with the iPad. These markets will take time to refine and mature, eg integration of desktop + mobile computing, and the next conceptual "big hit" won't be along for a while. For now, what's needed is execution, and Cook has been the operations guy for most of Jobs' second tenure. Apple can't do better even if Jobs were still in charge. And he still is, sort of. He's the chairman.

Apple won't be as dominant in mobile as it is today. The competition are getting better, and they have nowhere to go but up. Android already has more share in smartphones, and its open-source nature means adoption rate can only increase.

On tablets, price competition will drive non-iPad share. We saw an (extreme) example with the TouchPad fire sale. I see Android tabs selling well at the magic $300 mark. And unless Microsoft lays an egg with Win8, it'll still be the default upgrade path for the vast majority of the computing world as mobile becomes an extension of the desktop. I subscribe to that vision, that mobile devices can be as productive as desktops, not just for consuming media.
[Xoom General] Lolento:
Many say that Cook is going to have an easy time to start off as Apple is at its peak right now....however, there is an important paradigm shift in Apple where they're trying to move iTunes to the cloud.

This is a tremendously difficult job and I thought Apple should have started on it long ago...now they are way behind Google in this aspect. And I don't see what they're proposing to be better than what Google is already offering to its user base.

Apple is going to have a tough time fighting back Android in the smart phone space if they don't do cloud right.
[Xoom General] JoTeC:
I'm no Apple FanBoy but Steve Jobs made Apple what it is today. I remember him dragging Apple out of the trash not too long ago. The man was genius.
[Xoom General] dubie76:
And all of this is related to Xoom how?
[Xoom General] sirius b:
It's the general discussion forum, its major Tech related news, and its something to talk about?
[Xoom General] e.mote:
>however, there is an important paradigm shift in Apple where they're trying to move iTunes to the cloud.

Jobs' forte is in the physical product. His execution of online services was less than stellar, to wit, the defunct Mac.com and now MobileMe.com. His heavy-handed dealings with the various content owners only succeeded by dint of the success of Apple's hardware products. He's not a good negotiator--an "i" guy, not a "we" guy (excuse the pun).

The more pertinent question is how much of Apple's mystique is tied to Jobs' personality. Cook isn't a charismatic guy, nor is he a salesman. Then again, it's not like Jobs is dead. He's still around to rally the troops if needed.

For the near term, the way forward for Apple is clear: broadening its mobile product lines to compete in lower-priced tiers. Rumors of a cheaper iPhone abound, and despite what Jobs said, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple intros different iPad sizes (or integrate the iPod Touch into the iPad family) next year.

Plenty of opportunities for the Mac lines as well. MS is doing a crash course with Win8 into mobile because it has to, but Apple is going the same route. Lion has already taken the first step to integration with iOS.

>And all of this is related to Xoom how?

Relax, it's a worthwhile topic. It's not like this forum is overflowing with discussions that it can't handle a few extraneous threads.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
without iPhone/iPad would we even have this discussion in the Xoom forum?

Some say the iWhatever really started the massive push into smartphones... and thus Android as something to compete on the same level
[Xoom General] AbsolutZeroGI:
PalmOS and Blackberry (more Blackberry than Palm) started the massive push into smartphones. Even a year after the iPhone came out, I still heard "hit me up on BBM" more than "check out my iPhone" (that being the idiom of owning an iPhone at the time). I still hear people say "hit me up on BBM" and most of the active duty desk jockeys in the military are issued Blackberries. I know more people who own them than iPhones. So I refuse to give Apple credit for making smartphones popular. They were already popular, Apple just did it differently and they were given way too much credit for it.

I will give the evolution of tablets to Apple all day and night. The best we had in that area were a couple of failed projects from Microsoft about a decade ago and the dead technology known as "PDA". Then the iPad came out and made people want to stop sucking at making them. Had the iPad not been so ridiculously good and popular, the motivation to compete with it would never have existed and we would not have a Xoom.

So no, if Apple hadn't made the iPad, we would not be having this discussion on these Xoom forums and thus, the guy who made tablets popular stepping down from his chair on top of Apple land actually does matter to the Xoom. Logic FTW.

Personally, I'm happy that Steve Jobs is stepping down. I'm hoping that since his vehemence and enthusiasm toward selling the product is leaving the offices that Apple will cool down all these lawsuits. Perhaps attempt to compete more instead of "sue the guys doing better". Even if Android has overtaken iOS as the most used mobile OS, remember that Blackberry took it like a man when Apple did it to them.

Hope he gets better though. Even though I don't like the guy or his product whatsoever, wishing ill of people is just wrong.
[Xoom General] hammer4203:
Apple is going to rape Job's baby! They will put flash on all of their products!
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
Dude! Nice logical thinking! I have never liked Apple myself and never will. I'm Windows, not Mac... and I'm Android, not iOS. I do agree that Apple should not get any credit for "creating" the smartphone, if you will. The Blackberry name and RIM has been around for what... 10+ years now? I do believe that RIM is the winner there, not Apple. Blackberries were always on a higher tech level versus the basic phones or the later flip phones of their time before the iPhone came out. Why? Because a Blackberry is a business related phone that needs to do more than a basic phone, thus making it smarter than the average phone. Aha! A smartphone you say? Indeed! ;)

You mentioned lawsuits... who remembers Apple suing the crap out of Microsoft in the 80's? Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were in a major war at the time for the big computer OS. Apple cried a lot and sued Microsoft a whole lot because they said that Windows was a Mac ripoff and that they had stolen everything that they had ever created... you know, normal Apple drama. Just look at Apple's roots... rotten to the core since the 1980's. ;)

But, seriously... Apple has been this way since the dawn of time, and they will not ever change as long as Steve Jobs is still affiliated with the company name in some way, shape, or form. So, you can expect Apple to continue suing other companies because they think that they were the original company to create the cell phone, even though the cell phone has been around for how many years now? In reality, that's pretty much what they are stating as fact when it comes down to it. They say: Before the iPhone, there were no phones. How funny is that?

An interesting fact: "The first hand-held mobile phone was demonstrated by Dr. Martin Cooper of Motorola in 1973." He is the real mobile phone inventor. Thank him for the cell phone revolution, not Apple! Without him, we would not have any kind of cell phone to use at all. Think about that one while you sleep. A world without the cell phone. ^^

Oh yeah... I may not like Apple or Steve Jobs in the least bit, but you are correct when you say that you should not wish ill of one. That really is just wrong if a person were to do something like that.
