As you apparently did nothing wrong to your phone and reading what you have already tried... it really just seems the hardware has died.

This might have happened without root anyway. What is a bit bad is that you cannot erase your data that's on the internal memory, not nice.

But I think your only option is to send it in, reporting what you experienced (and leaving the root part away :cool: ). I don't think it had any influence on this issue.

Cheers for that wintel_mac - when I posted it was ~4am locally and I'd been pulling my hair out for 4/5 hours already hence the post here.

Today I just decided to bite the bullet, and took it to one of the samsung repair centres, explained the problem - minus the root ;)

They're getting back to me tomorrow hopefully, to let me know if it was software or, as seems more likely (now that I'm not so worried over rooting for the first time), a hardware issue meaning a bit of wait while it is sorted :S Oh well, that's my first bricking experience, I'm sure it won't be my last!

im using Titanium Pro to backup apps and saves, i noticed you can backup and restore System settings as well as apps.

my qustion is if i backup system settings from say XXKPS rom and then decide to try a custom Rom like say Cranium Rom after flashing and doing a clean install can i then restore system and apps without ruining any of the tweaks made in Cranium Rom?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintel_mac:
I would not recommend restoring system apps/settings to a completely modded ROM or to a ROM which has a different OS version. You may run into strange problems.

Regarding apps, this should work for most apps. But some are a bit oversensitive which can lead to problems. However, I would try to restore them with settings and only if you run into any problems to which you cannot find a solution restore apps only.

Hi Elios,

I don't think that's possible, but you can create a cwm recovery zip that installs the boot and recovery of the stock rom you'd like them from...

You'd need to find a zip that does that for you and simply replace the boot and recovery image files. For instance one of the Cranium ROM kernels:

http://sakindia123.prophecy.li/downl...um-rom-kernels

Then zip it again and add it to your sdcard and run it from CWM. It should simply replace your boot and kernel and therefore make it stock again.

Although, if you want to make your device stock again to avoid warranty issues, I would simply install a stock rom and reconfigure your device. Like the XXKPJ version, which was available through Kies as far as I know and is simply one release later of the XXKPI version you mentioned. Why would you want stock boot and recovery other than warranty? If you do not flash the actual stock rom they could see you have been modding anyway...

Regards,

Nika.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikagl:
Hi Domi,

Not sure what you exactly want to know? Yes, you can install the Cranium ROM in the same way as Darky ROM on an I9000 but make sure to use the CWM installer from the I9001. Never use any I9000 rom, recovery or whatever on a I9001 as that will HARDBRICK your device.

If you think installing it with CWM you can also try to install a ROM like Cranium with Odin (package that I made) but in all cases, your success depends on the ROM you are coming from. There's no lists yet which ROMs are compatible and how to upgrade which specific ROM, so you will have to try yourself.

Another good piece of advice is to always make a full backup of the ROM you are using. This can only be done from CWM, so install the CWM (see feamod / cwm thread), make a backup and try to restore that backup to make sure it works...

Good luck, and keep in mind that all info posted here is done by volunteers and we are here to try and make the stuff better but can never be held responsible for bricks or problems caused by any of these roms... use at own risk...

Regards,

Nika.

Hi oudbrood,

Can't really explain what it does (and what the advantage or disadvantages are), but maybe this helps?

First line sets the "dirty_expire_centisecs" to 500 and the "dirty_writeback_centisecs" to 1000. These scripts will only work on roms/kernels that have init.d enabled (so yes, yours too :)) and usually hardly hurt the rom... most of the tweaks are from other devices, so search the forums and try to find more on why people decided to tweak the dirty expire and writeback centiseconds to 500 and 1000 :D

please help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintel_mac:
This seems to be a bug in CWM not all users do experience. I was one of them and found the solution. Nikagl helped by creating a flashable zip with which you can "escape" from recovery.

Go in to the mount option, mount your internal sd-card, enable mass storage, connect to pc with usb cable, copy zip on your sd card, exit mass storage mode and flash the zip you copied. after that, you should be able to boot again.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21527547#post21527547

Unfortunately, every time you do sometinh in the recovery, you have to flash the zip to get out of the recovery loop until this bug is fixed.

Why my init.d is not working

Hello,

Have anyone looked does init.d really work? Because I have a bad fealing

that my does not.

I currently have broodrom rc2 as an rom and cranium v6 1.9ghz kernel.

First I installed broodrom rc2 rom and kernel, after couple of days I saw this cranium oc/uv kernel, so I had to flash it.

And I´m pretty sure it flashed ok, here is some information from my phone.

(so I cannot post a link to my phone information.. great)

Firmware version:

2.3.6

Kernel version:

2.6.35.7-Cranium-OC/UV

root@sarthak #7

Build number:

broodROM RC2

So I did some research..

Firstly, nothing really seems to be executing from my /system/etc/init.d folder. I did some testing.. made 06test file:

#!/system/bin/sh

echo "jepulis" > /system/etc/init.d/jepulis

but after an reboot, a file called jepulis is not created.

Next I looked inside to 08batterytweaks:

#!/system/bin/sh

echo "500" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs

echo "1000" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs

and I looked into those files to see are they really changed, but they haven´t.

If I run any of these files manually, they change files values immediately.

I tryed to googled my problems and saw that init.rc should support init.d scripts.

So I looked does it:

cat /init.rc |grep init.d

service initd /system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d

Ok, everything looks good. All files are existing, but when I try to run that command it says service: Unknown command initd

So I looked is that service even there:

# service check initd

init.dservice check initd

init.dservice: not found

So my question is, what I´m doing wrong in here? Did everyhing go wrong when I flashed kernel AFTER flashing an rom?

Well on rc8 i had only the feamod working

but also with broodrom rc2 the oc kernels wont work

i flashed them from my internal sd card.

non oc kernels are fine though.

rc8+1.2 feamod - boots

rc8+cranium v6 wont boot

rc8+cranium v8 wont boot

rc8+feamod 1.4 oc wont boot

broodrom rc2+1.2 feamod - boots

broodrom rc2+1.3 feamod non oc - boots

broodrom rc2+cranium v6 wont boot

broodrom rc2+feamod 1.4 oc wont boot

cranium v6 kernel is also a oc kernel.

So the oc kernel wont boot but why

Flashed roms trough odin

Flashed the non oc(feamod 1.2 and 1.3 non oc) trough odin

Tried the rest trough CWM Files
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dutch.ly:
When you flash a new rom do you clear all partitions and cache in FeaMod?

1. Clear phone to stock in FeaMod recovery, factory reset + format/clear all partions, then choose shutdown from recovery or hold poweroff.

2. Flash new rom (BroodRom, Cranium), only flash the broodROMRC2.tar.md5 in Odin

3. Flash FeaMod 1.2 trough Odin.

4. (optional) Put FeaMod 1.4 Non-OC update on internal sd and boot in recovery to install zip from internal sd and pick 1.4 Non-OC.

4. Put the Cranium v6 oc (dont go higher then 1930 MHz) on internal SD, Cranium is more stable as Feamod 1.4 OC.

5. Boot in FeaMod recovery and install zip from internal sd and pick Cranium v6 oc.

If that does not work i cant really seem to help you, what you can do however is flash to stock 2.3.6 XXKPS and install FeaMod 1.2 (+ 1.4 Non-oc) and cranium v6 oc kernel + Adrenaline shot. This is a great speed/stability combination.

depends on which method u want to use, when i did it i used terminal emulator, but it is risky coz if u type the wrong location (partition) u might brick ur phone.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
this is the bit of code for the boot.img

su
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8

u're playing with partitions here and that's the reason for possible brick if u r not careful enough, u can also use adb to push the 2 files, u can put them in an odin tar etc... so u can do it in many ways. if u hard brick ur phone u won't be able to get into download mode, so no u won't be able to flash with odin and get it working again :)

the code for recovery.img contains a line to clean that partition before copying the new file, it will give u an error as "the partition is full" or something like that, but that's normal, coz it's actually writing 0's till the end of the partition and hence the error u get when it reaches the end. u can also skip the first line which actually makes a backup of ur old recovery.img , and one last hint, both ur boot.img and recovery.img that u want to push should be on /sdcard (root of internal sd card)
