[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] :
On flashing a ROM, meant for any other phone, you are going to hard-brick your phone. You phone will not even boot and the only way to service it is Samsung Service center. Porting the SenseUI to SL is not an easy task. It is not like eating an apple or so. If you try out something like, this you are going to hard-brick your phone.

I hard-bricked mine! I was trying to flash a kernel for my SGSL and by-mistakely flashed a ROM of SGSII! And now my phone is due for service. I have to wait more one week to get it back!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dancegirl:
HTC has an android and so does samsung? Why will I hard-brick my phone if I flash a ROM? Makes no sense..!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] :
All these are tried once. But, If you wanna go ahead and brick your phone, I am not stopping you. Also, the hardware for the HTC phone is different from the hardware for our phone. So, It is going to result in a hard-brick. And, not only that, flashing a ROM meant for i9000 to our phone also results in a hard-brick. 2 phones with minor differences, but, still it results in hard brick.

I would suggest not to try it out..!!

Hey guys I've been having this small but annoying problem. Whenever I get a missed call notification, it doesn't go away when I check out my call log. Only clearing the notifications does the trick. I'm using dw dialer (great app btw). On cranium lite kph
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pabreu:
Third party apps do not have the permissions to clear such logs.

Try notigo. It's not there on market. Search in xda. Doesn't work for me though! Haven't got it to work for me yet
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sicmofo:
I'll definitely give it a shot :) its annoying though since unread message notifications cam be cleared by 3rd party sms apps :l

hi, i also have the same problem with samsung i9003 when i update to 2.3.6, i check the exposure its default. when i install I9003XXKPE 2.3.4 the problem is solved but as its a old rom have some bugs. plz xda help to solve this prob,,
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xglspyxgl:
Guys my phone losts its connection with my service supporter. I get my phone into Airplane mode after this happens and then take it off from it but the problem still continues. After a call from anyone phone freezes for a while and then losts its connection again. This forces me to Restart my phone and im sick of it at the moment tried flashing many roms but didnt help me to solve it. Should it send my phone to costumer service and want it to be changed? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] boloko:
Same problem here, mate. I tried at least 5 stock roms and nothing. Is there something wrong in the hardware? But it's weird because it kinda works for some time and suddenly stops working. (it's not the sim card, i tried the same sim card in other phone and it works as it should).Another thing is that when it loses signal, restarting the phone and the problem still remains, the IMEI won't appear if i dial *#06#, and if i type *#1234# it shows everything correct except for "phone:unknown". I also noticed that when it happens, it's usually when i am using it a lot and the phone gets hot... this might interfere how the resistor works inside, i don't know, and it doesn't show anything when i pull out the sim card...

hey guyz if im on KP3 (indian GB 2.3.5)nw and rooted and deodexed and installed a theme(MOD)...could i directly update my firmware to KP4(indian GB 2.3.6 NEW) via kies...or shld i first un deodex un root and all...??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
1) are you running apps while charging?

2) is the phone also doing this while charging with the phone off?

3) are you only charging the phone while it's "above the CPU"?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] NerdiestGeek:
Okay guys.

I recently updated from XXKPE to XXKPQ. Did a clean flash of XXKPE then used ODIN to flash XXKPQ. Was working fine..

Now I installed Cranium ROM 5.1(fix) by sakindia, which is a ROM for XXKPQ - over which I flashed the ICS theme, which seemed to be working fine with the ROM.

edit: WITH amit's universal CF-Root! sorry, forgot to add :)

I've been using Amit's cf-root since I flashed KPQ otherwise I had original skin's.

The problem is that I've been having WIFI drops which, after some research, seems to be a problem with GB updates in various different devices. My Wifi was working fine, but now all it's doing is connecting, working for 20 seconds, disconnecting, or not connecting at all, or connecting-disconnecting-connecting quickly, and it's REALLY annoying me.

I had absolutely NO wifi problems in XXKPH, therefore I don't know if it's a gingerbread issue. Also I didn't use stock XXKPQ much so I wouldn't be able to tell you if it's that.

I have tried changing IP to static, but it's not really working...

I am not willing to change my WIFI security settings either - but do tell me if this might fix the problem? But I don't see why - because I've been using the same security settings with the same router since ages and it's never given me such a problem.

Thanks!

Installing Wifi Static from "farproc", in android market, solve this problem with me
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
from cranium 3.1 on kph, I flashed fresh kpe (pit and all files once), kph (PDA once), kpq (PDA once), utter chaos kernel 5 test 6 and then amit's cf-root EXTRA, (I had to do a little extra flashing back and forth to get both to "stick" properly, then cranium 5.1 and green obsession theme. I have no problems with wireless.

how long were you using kpq with wireless before installing cranium? did you wipe your caches?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] NerdiestGeek:
^

I wiped my cache twice or thrice before posting here.

I don't know if Wireless worked with stock KPQ as I immediately flashed Cranium and then a theme.

I'll try reflashing and then repost!

EDIT:

Tried using WIFI Static I can't get it to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Is there any guide/something so that I can make sure I did it right?

Reflashed. Same problem. WIFI wouldn't connect even for a few seconds now. Very annoying.

Not at all.

Are you sure you bought and inserted the MicroSD? It doesn't come with one in the 4GB version. Mine didn't either. You have to buy and put it in yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] NerdiestGeek:
Hmm..

I tried a fresh install.

XXKPE -> Wifi working fine. [factory reset after install] & cache wipe

To XXKPH (Just in case..) -> Wifi working fine. [factory reset after install] & cache wipe

To XXKPQ -> Wifi working fine. [factory reset after install] & cache wipe

Installed Amit's Universal CF ROOT -> Wifi working fine. [factory reset after install] & cache wipe

Installed Cranium 5.1 Fix ROM -> Wifi working fine. [factory reset after install] & cache wipe

Installed Green obsession theme -> Wifi not connecting. Same problem. Wiped cache.

Why is this problem occuring on installing a theme? Any ideas/suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] parthiru:
Clarification

I am from INDIA.

Recently I flashed my phone DDKP1. Everything works fine.

But whenever i download some content through Android Market, it says

"unable to download due to not enough space in the device"

But when in download through samsung apps, it is fine.

I also formatted my disc, and factory reset also done.. But no use..

What's the problem?

Anyone help me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - "All" tab - Market - Clear Cache.

Still have problems?

CWM

- Clear Cache.

- Clear Dalvik Cache.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
that's odd, I'm also on green obsession and ignored most of the factory reset steps you performed. how did you wipe your cache in kpe and kph and kpq before installing cwm? reading that sentence tells me you kept installing cwm between each fw upgrade. try not doing that.

my steps:

1) pit, then all kpe once

2) kph pda once

3) kpq pda once

4) cf root then uc kernel 5 t6

5) factory reset, wipe caches, backup

6) cranium 5.1, wipe caches

7) green obs, wipe caches, done!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] parthiru:
Still having problem in android market. In the above, my clear cache of Android market is idle.. So, I cant able to clear that cache. And also I have 1.5 GB internal memory free. And 3.5 GB external memory free. But I cant able to download through Android Market. In the beginning I downloaded so many things using Market. But after the DDKP1, I cant able to download single one due to not enough space in the device..

What to do guys............
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
there are various places in the forum, and likely online too, where you can get an older version of the market. use any market version 2.x and try again.

This happens even after i have rooted the phone

Guys please help, i have looked around so much for an answer
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] parthiru:
Exactly the same one came when i have flashed.. Solution for this? How to overcome?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
by "first block", do you mean flashing the pit file? or, are you trying to do things without running that first when changing fw?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] acero2011:
flash error

No i used PDA file I9003XXKPN_I9003XXKPN_I9003SERKPN_HOME.tar.md5. there is no pit file, Phone file, CSC file. just the md5 file and used PDA slot to load it.

By block i meant the top row of blocks in ODIN
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
I figured that, but I have to ask since you're new :p

(first block of instructions or block shown in odin ;))

now my next question is what fw are you using, is it froyo? GB? are you following the guide in the "how to install stock fw" thread?

if you're upgrading from froyo, you must use pit first, then all of kpe, then the pda of kpn.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] parthiru:
I too done the same err. I just updated my froyo version to GB version with the PDA file. Please tell me how to reset my phone to froyo in order to flash from pit file? Please help..

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

It's block shown in ODIN.

Hello everyone! hi to all senior members! i have a question and hoping that someone can answer... :)

my how to restore IMEI I back it up through adb and insanity app.. :)

any one who have been successfully Restore their imei?

I didnt lost my imei but it is change to different numbers.. :( dont know why..

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] acero2011:
yes i updated fw from froyo to GB. and where can i find the pit file, phone file, CSC file? Is it included in the rom package?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] NerdiestGeek:
My bad lolll.. I DID NOT Wipe cache.. I was multitasking to accidently copy pasted that ahead of every message. I only factory resetted!

I wiped cache after I flashed CF-ROOT only.

I think the only difference is you changed your kernel. I don't know why it would make a difference. Can you post the kernel thread link i can't find it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
just flashing the pda messed it up so it won't work right now, but there's no need to completely reflash froyo. just flash the pit and all of GB.

go to the stock ROM thread and you will be able to download kpe (the GB needed to use all other versions of GB). this includes the pit and all other pda, bootloader, csc, and modem files needed for your first flash to GB. then choose which GB version you want to use. since neither of you specified, go for the latest, kpq. I also flash the pda of kph before going to kpq, and have no problems ;)

since you backed it up with nitrality, what happens if you try to restore through nitrality?

Thanks alot. Can you tell me if there is any con of that? I mean, battery drain or something, while using that kernal? If not I'll try getting it.. if yes, oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
to put it this way, I upgraded from cranium 3.1 (kph) to kpq, installed cranium 5.1, themed green obsession, and installed doomlord's v5t6 all in one go, but did not install the no frills cpu until after I drained my battery the first time. I was also testing a "tweak" for the battery, and I got over 2 days use out of it on the first charge.

after killing and starting to recharge the battery, I installed the no frills cpu and found my governor by default was conservative and my I/O was noop. I then switched to interactivex and vr, and haven't noticed any significant drain compared to cranium 3.1.

see my new thread about the battery "tweak" here:

I don't believe it. I followed the exact steps you did, and I still can't get this WIFI to work.

I don't know why this problem is being caused. Can you tell me your WIFI Settings?

EDIT:

Here's a look at my device:

And:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
I haven't tested it myself and haven't heard anyone complain, but just in case you're having issues with v6, have you already tested v5t6? don't remember if you said it in an earlier post, and that's the one I used.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] NerdiestGeek:
Erm not my point, I'm saying the kernel didn't help my WIFI problem. Do you use a static IP? If yes, can you tell me how to set one up for this? I'm still puzzled over why flashing THEMES does that.. I'll try stuff again..

edit: or easier way - compare my kernel version from screenshot above with yours? :P I don't think it'll do any help though!

Also, no I just downloaded v6 off the thret I don't know if it's test 6 or something, sorry :( I think it's the latest they've got.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
wow, they made it a it hard to find :p

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19924867&postcount=334

download ind flash t6 and see if your wifi works. start fresh from your backup you made before installing the theme, then before doing anything wipe cache, etc. then flash the kernel and wipe caches. then install the theme and wipe caches.

A question

can someone help me with this ?? -

i installed CM7 on my phone 2 days ago. yesterday, i gave it to my friend to try that phone out. but he ended up connecting the phone to his PC (which is full of viruses and malwares). And so now, my i9003 has ended up with viruses in both internal & external memory. Every folder is now an exe file and the folders are hidden.

So my question is, if i format the both internal memory and external memory through pc, will it have any effect on the phone ??

Also, i am thinking of flashing the phone again to XXKPQ firmware so should i format the memory first or should i flash the phone first to KPQ ??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Remove external SD. Format it @pc and scan and stuff as you want.

About phone, to be super safe and things apart, do a factory reset. Flash a full firmware. (Since you want to flash XXKPQ, first flash XXKPE and flash XXKPQ over it)

Factory Reset again and done!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] NerdiestGeek:
Heyyyy dude, thanks for your great help. I figured out how to fix the WIFI w/o the test kernel, and im using the v6 kernel (the one i was using before!!)

For anyone having this trouble:

I was getting WIFI drops as soon as I installed Cranium, but only with big enough downloads, like streaming a video. I realised this after I started using just Cranium v5.1 which used to connect my wifi. The problem was, as soon as I flashed a theme, it won't even connect-- so i thought it was just the theme, but actually it was the KPQ firmware! I was trying to use WIFI Static after flashing themes so it wouldn't auto-detect settings, -- so i couldn't get it to work. What I did was, I used wifi static with cranium (which connected but had drops), and it detected settings, THEN i flashed the theme. now it works like a charm!

Also one last question I'd like to ask, is what governer and stuff are you using right now? I was using standard setCPU profiles to have my device balanced with performance and battery, w/o any overclock, so now I need a little help with what's what. :P
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
congrats, that is definitely a unique way to make it work :D

I'm using interactivex for my governor and vr for the i/o
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] NerdiestGeek:
^ Also, do you use SetCPU profiles along with the gov/io sche? Or it's not needed?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
nope, I just use "no frills". someome putting more demand on their phone might see improvement setting profiles, but for my personal use I feel it wouldn't help much, since I already can see 4-5 days battery life with light use and around 2-3 days with moderate use.
