Hard bricked i9001

What i did was: I've renamed the downloaded ivendor's beta 4 rom zip package(which was total lack of brain) to "uptade.zip"> went to CWM recovery > install zip from sdcard > instal update.zip > Then i hit Yes(idiot warnig)> Instalation process gave me "error 7". Suddenly it got me i did somethin horribly wrong, so i tried to instal CWM recovery from zip > but i receive message that "E:no such directory" > result is black screen without possibility, to run download mode. I've been trying many ways, described in many threads, none gave me connection with odin.

Did i just flashed bootloader with the wrong file? What for is the update.zip mode in CWM? Should i try and buy "jig" or go to the nearest mobile service? Since i live in, some would say **** hole, i'm assuming the service does not have required JTAG board. Did anyone accualy made it running after hardbrick on his own? What are my options i'm not aware off?

I love that phone, specialy with ivendor's rom, I would forgive myself if that would be my first flashing, in this case my behaviour was ......!

I'm not using English to often, sorry for any gramar mistakes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marshian:
Can you enter download mode? (Turn on the phone holding Volume down + Home + Power)

If you can, connect it to Odin and flash a stock ROM. (See this part of the wiki. Also make sure you have Kies installed so you have the correct drivers for your phone.)

After that you should first flash CWM and only then CM.

Your mistake was to flash CM through the stock recovery. The stock recovery can't handle that and it bricked your device as a result.

@Marshian: It looks like you didn't read my post well, nvm thanks for advice anyway. @ktulu84 : Thanks for interesting.

I took my "brick" to phone sercvice today, not the samsung one, they said it's gonna cost me 50zl it's like 12 €. Phone should be ready for tomorrow. It isn't much for JTAG i guess, i was supresed when guy told me that he even have the right JTAG board. No i wait, lest hope i did not kill my motherboard.

Which best recovery?

Hi guys!

I've flashed cm10 beta3 by ivendor on my i9001, using recovery 6.0.1.9, however this recovery sometimes reboot/shotdown itself which make my i9001 enter into perma-loop-reboot status!

Trying again to flash cm10 beta3, all works fine, but...

Now i want to flash cm10 beta4, so my question is: which recovery should i use?

I see that on official thread of cm10 by ivendor, now is indicated a new recovery: 6.0.2.8 ... can i use it safely?

thanks! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazimirovich:
HI, same ROM I've flashed recently, I'd recommend TWRP 2.4.4.0, wich ivendor recommends, I think this recovery is much better than CWMRecovery. So easy and intuitive for flashes, fixes, wipes... and more complete.

I'm in really bad situation, i don't know what else could they swap, or the mainboard is even broken. Phone is from Austia i'm in Poland.

Don't know should i send it to the person who bought it AUT, couse theres a possibility these lying bastards left marks on the mainboard so the warranty service will notice, or they change it so the serial number/ IMEI is different. My otheroption is to byu new/used mainboard and change it, which cost around half of used phone. I'm Doomed ;<

Is it possible to do a NANDroid backup after you brick your phone?

My CWM screwed up so I couldn't do a backup, I've tried to flash a new Recovery mode so I could do a backup of some very important data, but that bricked my phone. You can guess how I felt... Before I unbrick it, I was wondering if I can do a backup in any way even though it's bricked? I could then extract the needed data later. This is quite urgent, so if anyone knows, please help.

Well, if u have twrp or any recovery that makes compressed backups, u can extract data from them either on a pc or by using titanium backup pro.

baseband

I read a lot of guessing which might be the best baseband for our phone s+. But are they any facts available which are the best baseband?

I changed form BUKP3 to XXKPM on CM10b4 by ivendor but I 'see' now different.

Is there any open source code available to see the different between the basebands?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marshian:
Some basebands work better in certain regions. (Better signal and/or lower battery consumption.) It really depends on your region, the network you use, your phone's hardware and probably some other factors. Most people don't have any reason to change their baseband. Personally I changed mine from XXKPM to BOKQ3 because it took a long time for my phone to switch from 2G to 3G. For me, that is a lot faster using BOKQ3.

AFAIK there are no custom basebands available and they are closed source.

This is a known issue, ivendor is looking into it. (In fact smeroni68 has just confirmed there is a new and improved patch.)

Either you can wait for a (probably short) while and it'll get fixed in a new release or you can use beta 2 for now, which uses the old wifi drivers.

There are some glitches with the camera(s). These are known as well, they will probably get fixed in due time.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tears for Fears:
I thought of ADB but it couldn't detect my device. ADB finds my phone after the "Samsung Galaxy S Plus GT-I9001" sign before it starts to load the boot animation. Somewhere around this point. In the brick state, I couldn't even get to the "Samsung Galaxy S Plus" because seconds after the first "Samsung" sign appears, it instantly turns to the "brick screen" and ADB didn't recognize it.

Unbricking is no problem to me, I do that all the time, what caused me problems is that I needed my data and the CWM was malfunctioning so I couldn't do a backup, when I tried to reflash the recovery, it bricked my phone.

Yes, I've tried to flash the Recovery again but it didn't work because the only thing that goes before the "brick screen" is the Download Mode.

So I'm guessing ADB is the only possible way? That's a shame.

Kernel for Jellybean 4.1 QUESTION

Hey guys ...question is about kernel switching and updating.... Galaxy S plus

1) When an update is released of the custom kernel what is the process (steps to install) ?

2) When a new update of the cm 10 is released and you have a custom kernel on...so when you flash that release, will the custom kernel get replaced with the stock kernel provided in that? Do i have to flash the kernel every time when an update is released?

Thx in advance :)

Here are the answers to your questions:

1- Just flash the updated version of the kernel, along with wiping cache, dalvik cache and fix perm.

2- When you flash an update of CM10, the /system partition is wiped and the custom kernel gets replaced by the stock one. So the custom kernel should be reflashed after every rom update.

Best ROM for GPS

Hi, guys,

Which custom rom would you recommend if I intend to use my phone a lot as a GPS? I have already tried GingerRevenge, but the GPS was terrible: it didn't work at all! I am using CM 10 Release 1 by ivendor (with CIT Kernel 10.9) right now, and the GPS seems to work, but the initial lock sometimes can be very slow.

Also, I have read somewhere that the GPS is best working on GB-based custom roms (that's why I tried GingerRevenge,but maybe I had no luck). Does anyone have experience in this regard?

Thanks to you all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marshian:
On my phone GPS was a nightmare using stock and it works perfectly using CM10 RC1. It probably depends on a number of things. You could always try custom kernels (I use CastagnaIT's) or broodplank's root tweaker.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzsay:
I have already heard such testimonies and testimonies about the opposite as well (that GPS was working perfectly using stock ROM). This indeed must be dependent on many things and one cannot get a final answer.... maybe even related to the hardware revision also.

I have had terrible experiences with that. It somehow changed the configuration so that there was always an instant lock without even indoors where there is no GPS signal at all. The estimated error was even some 2-3 kilometers! What use do I have for a navigation system that estimates my position to be in a certain city, which I already know of course? And even after waiting for some minutes (the usual time for GPS lock in a city), the system couldn't get a close position.

I was one of those people who had a good GPS when on stock 2.3.6. I miss those good days when I could have walking navigation in a crowded city, with position accurate to meters, and instant and correct direction detection (which direction am I facing). I would like to get that back, but somehow I cannot get it even when on stock-based GB custom ROM...
