[Q] Need help about upgrading from 2.2 to 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 but afraid of SIM problems

Hi everyone, my Galaxy S I9003 runs with Android 2.2 and I want to upgrade to newer update ( the stable one between 2.3.4 and 2.3.5) .. i'm in Tunisia and here we need to unblock the phone or something like that to use our SIM cards .. so i'm afraid if i will need to do that while i don't know how .. can anyone help me here :confused: :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
There no 2.3.5

Just read falex Faq.

You find your most answer there.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ghassen_Khalil:
But I found 2.3.4 !! I'm just new to Forum so i can't post a link here to show you
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
Sorry I want to type 2.3.5

Yes gb for our device is 2.3.4

As you are new just read all sticky topics.

By this you will stay safe from damage your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ghassen_Khalil:
my problem is not whether there is that ROM or no but i want to know if upgrade it I will need to unblock the phone so he could use my Operator SIM card knowing that i'm in Tunisia
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ghassen_Khalil:
Could anyone tell me ?

What does those things mean :

PDA : I9003JPKD1

PHONE : I9003JXKA4

CSC: I9003OJPKC2
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Means you have a middle east firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
1. It was probably still 9% when i plugged charger in. After plug in, i immediately rebooted the phone holding down power button then when it finished rebooting it showed 28%.

2. When i unplugged it , it was still 28%.

Sorry with all the questions but when i leave my phone's screen off for about 10h or so the tw launcher seems to be starting(homescreen blank with wallpaper on). Is this due to juwe11 ramscript??

@ggclanlord

But this didint happen before...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
I'll check it today. May be you found some bug of controller of battery, may be it was just glitch of that controller :).

About problem with tw launcher there can be 2 situations:

1. I'm using go launcher and I noticed the following: I have set titanium backup to make backup every day at 03:00, also there is checkbox "stop applications when backing them up". When I start manual backup and use my phone while it make backup I see that Go Launcher restarted after the TB finish backing it up. But when it makes backup at night at the morning all is OK (ie Go Launcher starts after backup). May be:

1.1: you have the same backup task

1.2. twlauncher can't start by itself

2. about juwe11 ramscript: it works only if you have many applications in the memory because of this unused applications will be unloaded. Do you have many background applications for some synchronization that starts periodically?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
About the tw launcher part. I do not have same backup schedule. And how can we solve controller glitch?? Kinda confused. What exactly is a battery controller glitch.??

Sent from my GT-I9003
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
Controller of battery is a small chip inside the battery. If it has bug you just should change the battery. Try to check if that problem is reproducible. But also it can be the bug of software (may be you have bug with 1% battery mod and it sometimes works as stock showing only 5 images instead 100)

All of this is just my IMHO. And I'm not a professional in this area.

OK. I've downloaded repo script and take full repository to compile CianogenMod 7.

Now in the section "Copy proprietary files" I see the following script "extract-files.sh". It copies the following proprietary files.

adb pull /system/etc/gps.conf ../../../vendor/$MANUFACTURER/$DEVICE/proprietary
adb pull /system/vendor/bin/gpsd ../../../vendor/$MANUFACTURER/$DEVICE/proprietary
adb pull /system/vendor/etc/gps.xml ../../../vendor/$MANUFACTURER/$DEVICE/proprietary

adb pull /system/lib/libsec-ril.so ../../../vendor/$MANUFACTURER/$DEVICE/proprietary

adb pull /system/lib/libsamsungcamera.so ../../../vendor/$MANUFACTURER/$DEVICE/proprietary/libcamera.so
adb pull /radio/modem.bin ../../../vendor/$MANUFACTURER/$DEVICE/proprietary
and so on....

I don't have the following files at my system:

/system/vendor/* (there is no even /system/vendor directory)

/system/lib/libsamsungcamera.so

/radio/modem.bin (there is no even /radio directory)

Somebody with XXKPH firmware try to look these files at your phone. May be I had to look them at GB...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
How to check if its the problem with the battery??:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
I don't know. Do you have some other problems except wrong indication while the charging? Can you reproduce this problem again? Does the time of usage your battery became lesser?

If no to the last question: the problem only in indication (hardware/software... doesn't matter) not in real battery.

[Q] Back key not working when certain apps are running

Hi All,

The Back key on my i9003 is not working when certain apps are running. Samsung's stock Video player, for example, is one of those apps where the back button does nothing during playback. Many games have this problem also. It is really annoying and disrupts the flow of using the device. I also use Android on a HTC device and the back button always behaves correctly in all apps, and I am even using the same apps on both devices.

Is there a software or firmware solution to this very annoying problem?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
there is no solution for this :0
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Why have u created new thread when there is a sticky thread about Q & A...? From next time for questions never creat new thread.

Anyway in stock player there back key present at upper right corner on screen when u hold phone in landscape. And about games i can only say that it depends on the controls of game.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] TITAN-23:
Ok, in the future I will post any questions on the Q & A thread. Does the i9000 & i9100 have this problem as well? It seems to me that a simple software fix might solve it, does anyone know if there is a technical reason for this issue as the menu button has no issues.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] smartdude2007p:
Help please

Hey Crashbantz i must owe u thanks for trying to help me out on many occassions. But this problem seems non ending. Until before yesterday i was using DDKP3 firmware (unrooted), yesterday i updated to yet another unrooted DDLF2. I really like the looks to the core, i would say that it is THE BEST i ve seen for a Stock ROM. But this problem of mine :

- My phone lags and has bad touch problem (i must owe it to the bad ram usage i would say) unless i switch on my Music Player. When i switch on my Music Player and use the phone my phone runs smooth like a ship in a calm sea. I like my phone very much that way but i cant always have my music on to make my phone run like that :P

What is the reason for such a problem in my phone? If rooting would solve the problem then i can very well go into that. If changing my phone would make it work fine then i must replace it before a month from today (today is 02/08/2012), that is the oly reason i wish to be in the Unrooted ROM. But to be clear once i went in for a Custom Firmware when i did do the rooting badly and then i reverted back.. Please Please Please help me...

Thanks to all who help me and wish to help me in advance.. Thanks a Ton

Root with cf root. And then download ram manager and use balanced option. After awhile, u will see the difference :)

Problem I got it when I did this !

Hello,

I will start with my little story first to be clearer what happen to my GT-I9003 SL...

My phone was having Froyo firmware in the beginning of purchase it. When Samsung has release a new update for GT-I9003 SL, I have updated my phone to the latest firmware which it is GINGERBREAD XXKPH ... and here started all problems...

My phone is started to restart automatic, for no reasons and stack on booting ... about 2 month it is doing like that and drain all the battery of my phone...

So i decided to flash it with latest firmware which it is ICS ... i used the CWM to flash it ... not the Odin because there were no official release for ICS yet ...

However, It was giving me the same results ... restarting for no reasons and stack on booting and drain all the battery..

So I flash it with latest firmware of GINGERBREAD which everyone is working on their rom XXKPQ...

In that time, I saw something more weird which i saw Kernel Panic Upload Mode!!

I Google it, and they saw it is come from custom cooked rom, but i never installed cooked rom yet!!!

I throw my phone for a long time, then I take it to flash it to froyo firmware ...

All link of Froyo Firmware are died ... almost i got some of them alive ...

I flash it, and i saw it stable more than GINGERBREAD!! no random restart, or panic kernel or upload mode...

Can I know the reasons why are that happening to me?? Or it does happen to everyone??

Thank you so much…

It's says there that one bad effect of undervolting your phone is it sometimes freezes and phone no longer responds when entering hibernate or deep sleep mode, they call this Sleep Of Death (SOD), this are the same issue my phone is encountering now.

I thinked to change the normalboot.img with CF-ROOT image by flashing it with odin ...

When flashing finished, it booted to recovery mode ... however, the recovery is working but it has many red sentances ...

-- Wiping cache...

Formatting /cache...

E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11

Cache wipe failed

I got something like the /data cannot be mounted and /cache too ... do you think i did mistake on re partition it ?

if /data can't be mounted, that mean that intrenal SD-card is damaged ??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] swapyworld:
look man see if u have installed samsung drivers....when u connect the mobile via odin ....does it highlight the port in odin windows?

And then flash XXKPE properely because when u select latona.pit....repartition option gets select 'automatically' !!

while in other roms, you 'are not' supposed to select it.....when you are flashing say XXKPH or DDLF2 only other two checkboxes will ticked 'by default'.

Dont click on any check boxes by yourself....and try it one more time and after that if you want you can root too.....!!

Make u sure u select proper files while flashing XXKPE too....and then flash all rom files as PDA...hope u ll get ur fone working...all d best man :highfive:

I can't flash other ROMs

i dunno what happened with my i9003.

i had used DXKP9 for along time. At the begining, it was really smoth, fast and stable. But a few days ago, it was be SOD. My i9003 reseted nonstop and just hanged on Samsung logo. I must be remove batery then insert again. So that, i decided flash XXKPE to up to XXKPU. But so stragely, after pitting and flashing, all old apps and games in DXKP9 still not removed. I tried wipe all, but it's useless. It look like all apps and games are default. Surely, when i opened it, the notice of Force Close would be appeared. I have tried to flash all stock ROM but ..... useless. So now, i can just using my phone to receive and dial calling (even SMS also FC when opened).

My English is not good. Help me. Thanks alot.

if you're still on warranty, you can go to the service center and get it checked out ASAP :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed: but if not, you can flash another ROM, perhaps XXKPQ since it's a pretty stable ROM ;) get it rooted, then flash a custom kernel.. by then your phone will explode with awesomeness :D:D:D

Hi! I am not trying to argue or anything along that line... But.... given the symptoms his phone probably has the pseudo factory reset issue and only service centre can solve it. This issue has been a defect of our phone and quite a number of people have experienced it already.

Yes, after sending it to Samsung they will probably replace the main board to take care of that issue and you should then be able to flash all those awesome and wonderful ROMs! As always please read through the thread of the ROMs that you want to flash first!

Try flashing any kernel with cwm, then wipe system and data. Boot to download mode and flash from the start. See if this solves your problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skander1998:
Nothing will probably solve this, except getting the motherboard changed.

The reason for the reset is that the Internal SD card is failing.

The symptoms:

-Random reboots, resetting data like contacts.

-Random FC's and sometimes notifications of "Corrupt memory card".

-Apps not going away after flashing roms.

-CWM flashes won't work, they fail when deleting certain information.

-Losing random files or others re-appearing from nowhere.

-Tons of weird stuff.

From your description, i am pretty sure it's the pseudo reset.

Only the SSC can fix this properly.

You could try workarounds (removing the internal card and mounting the external), this is dangerous and your device will die anyways later when the card get's corrupted.

If you don't have money to FIX it, invest in a new phone and not in a repair.

Hope i helped :)

PS- I did notice the date, but hopefully it helps.
