[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vatin.p:
This is how I got stuck in Darky's rom boot.

I have to mention that I'm on Linux and have Heimdall as my only rom flashing tool. Well I have XP and Odin setup in a Virtual Machine VB.

- First I started with the stock rom my phone comes with Froyo 2.2

- Flashed speed mod kernel with Heimdall "speedmod-kernel-k13e-500hz-CWM" which makes my phone much more responsive and stable.

- Downloaded Darky's rom 10.2 Resurection Edition from Darky's site.

- Extracted the content of the PDA.tar from Darky's rom archive.

- Within the directory containing the pit file and the extracted files from PDA.tar I executed the following command in the terminal

heimdall flash --repartition --pit s1_odin_20100512.pit --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --cache cache.rfs --dbdata dbdata.rfs --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin --param param.lfs --modem modem.bin --kernel zImage

This series of command is included in a txt file from Darky's rom archive namely heimdall.txt.

- Helmdall completes the flash with message saying all files being 100 percent uploaded to the phone.

- The phone auto restarts, went through the automatic initialization and arrives at Darky's rom logo and boot animation.

- :-/ Stucked at darky's logo and boot animation being displayed one after another.

- In a forum someone mentioned initial boot can be as long as 20 mins to 1 hour. Last night I left it for 8 hours without getting through the booting process.

- ???!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vatin.p:
Problem solved!!!

As a Linux user, I use Odin in Win XP running in virtual machine (Virtualbox Oracle version, not opensource version)

Seems like Odin and Helmdall DOES produce different outcome after all, despite how many claims it is said to be compatible. So AT THIS TIME, I can say that there exist a certain things heimdall perform differently from Odin.

What was your fix? Mine is stuck on a Can't Mount error. Did yours do this at all?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vatin.p:
Are you on Linux? More info would be useful. I don't have problem what so ever with mounting Odin did its' thing smoothly. As a Linux fan I wish heimdall could manage though, but as I said it soft brick my phone for a day. Hope you get through the flash, IMO it is totally worth it.

I am experiencing lots of problems attempting to root my new galaxy S phone. I use to have an older galaxy s which allowed me to use the oneclick root solution, but this refurbrished phone i got from the warranty depot came with 2.3.3 gingerbread. Last night i tried tried both oneclickroot and gingerbreak but i realized later they do not work for 2.3.3.

Someone want to point out a tutorial for this android noob?

Im pretty new to this whole unlocking stuff and im not sure that understand it completely to be honest, but im searching for a program that I can pay for (and possibly subscribe to an unlocking service). Id like the program that I could put onto my computer and I would be able to handle all of the unlocking myself. Most of the services that I have found have either been unlock boxes, pay per IMEI unlock, etc.

So maybe im searching for something that doesnt exist. What have yall found to be the most reliable unlocking service (which will unlock the most variety of phones)?

Sorry if this has been answered. I did a pretty extensive search on google and have found nothing

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tombarr:
Well unfortunately not everyone is/ can be rooted and even fewer people can run custom ROMs. Also, I have yet to see a custom ROM that has the drop down effect or the ability to choose absolutely any color for the icons because in my application StatusBar+ all icons are drawn in code, there are no images. Its far from perfect, but hopefully if I can get more people to download it and report bugs I'll be able to some of its issues.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Z3US911:
I think its less responsive.

Free version.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tombarr:
The free version is on version alpha zero, while the full is on alpha two. There are a number of improvements in between. For now StatusBar+ Lite will remain a few versions behind the full, so if possible you should consider purchasing the full. Otherwise the Lite version will get updated, just slower and without the settings the full has.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] caribbean_spur:
Hi guys,

Ok, here is the deal, a few months ago I bought a SGS GT-I9000T and via Kies updated it to Froyo, all was great, then updated to Gingerbread (not rooted or anything fancy), and everything went down the hill from there, force close,,random shutdown, drained battery ,.....

anyway, I replaced the phone and the new I got, was already on froyo, so I kept it like that. The phone has been working great, even the gps works well (was not working on the first on too well). It has been 4 months. The problem is,now I am starting to see apps that require gingerbread so I am tempted to do the update, but only if I can revert if things go south.

And to revert I will need to flash the original firmware. I looked on samfirmware and it is not there, so I was thinking the best way might just be to get it from the phone directly.

So how can I get the firmware directly from my phone so that I can flash the file back to Froyo if I get the same problem with Gingerbread.

Anyway, my Froyo version is :

FROYO.UBJP9

Firmeware 2.2.1

Kernel: 2.6.32.9 latin.umts@samsung#1

Any help would be nice.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ccrows:
Yeah IDK why that particular FW isn't on samfirmware either since many keep looking for it.

You could always do a Nandroid Backup. That makes a complete image of your phone that you can go back to.

I don't have a link handy, but there are a bunch of Nandroid tutorials out there to Google... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] caribbean_spur:
Thanks a lot. But I am not rooted. I would not mind rooting, but I have the same problem, a lot of the guide that I found ask for specific files for a specific firmware and unfortunately I cannot find mine.

Is there any way to back up without root?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaculop:
I have not had this problem until recently and not sure what has caused it. My phone is not showing up when I mount my SD card. Also undetected by ADB. I have tried multiple cables, different computers, and also reformatted my computer and installed fresh drivers just in case. My phone does however show up in Odin and I can flash a modem no problem. I was thinking about wiping my phone back to stock and going from there, but I am afraid that will not fix it and I will be stuck at stock. =(

Thanks,

Jaculop
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Had the same problem. Had to reload the drivers even though my other Epic was recognized just fine.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdslw:
Same here, its' like it woked one day and didn't the next. I had 2 problems, one was the fact that only half of the usb jacks on the front of my desktop work (dumbass), and I had to re-install the drivers found on Samsung.com. My computer also will not recognize the sd card until you turn on mass storage from the drop down menu on the phone after the usb is connected.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
What I did was turn on USB debugging, connected the phone in the drop down menu, then went int control panel>device manager> and looked for either "Other" or something in the USB connections. I found Samsung Android. I clicked that and hit update drivers from Windows Update. It took like 30 minutes to load all the necessary drivers then connected fine after that.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaculop:
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers. I am pretty sure I have tried the update driver thing through device manager, with it saying I already had an update to do driver. I have also tried with/without debugging and also manually selecting use as a mass storage device. Just kinda weird it shows up in device manager, just ADB doesn't recognize it or as a mass storage device. I am starting to think it is something more with my phone as it doesn't show up on other computer and tried other cables. May just say screw it and try Odin.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
You can uninstall the drivers, then let Windows Update find the drivers again. It needs 5 drivers altogether. My problem was similiar. It wouldn't recognize my phone with USB debugging on, yet had no problem recognizing my other Epic so was sure my phone was screwed up. After Odin it did recognize it but wouldn't after rooting and putting on a GB leak ROM but again the other phone was fine. Forced driver update and has worked fine ever since. Although one phone shows up as F and the other as E. Not worried as long as it works...lol.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaculop:
I uninstalled the Galaxy S 64bit drivers but the uninstall option that came with the package. I plugged in my phone, it attempted to find drivers and said unsuccessful. I click, search automatically and it comes back with nothing.

Also it says it is Samsung CDMA Technologies.

Edit: I just tried manually updating the drivers by pointing to the driver location instead of using the provided installation. I see only 4 drivers installed. Samsung USB Composite Device, Samsung Mobile Modem Diagnostics, and one other I am unable to find the name of.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
There is also a CDC driver.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaculop:
I fixed the problem. In case anyone else runs into it, it's simple to fix. I was afraid to ODIN back to stock in case something was wrong and unable to root/cwm again, but I grew some balls did it and it's now working flawlessly. Must have been something messed up with the system files on my epic, that even a wipe and reflash from CWM would not fix.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Did you root and reflash your ROM and try it?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaculop:
Yea, I rerooted and flashed my rom. Everything is working fine so far, along with my SD card and phone showing up on my computer. Before it was just showing up as Samsung CDMA Tech. now it is showing actually showing the samsung model number. So something happened with the phone before. Not exactly sure.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Glad you got it working. You were lucky Odin still recognized it.

[Nook Color General] Noob^2:
Hi, just got a NC today. Am a total noob to Android (no smartphone) and am hoping someone can help me out. I have read and searched a bit of the posts in these NC forums, but there is just A LOT and I'm kinda lost. To start out..

After playing around with the stock 1.2 ROM for a bit, I installed the latest nightly (177) CM7 with this guide,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030227

Before this, I also switched to the older 1/5GB app/data partition with DeanGibson's zips via CWM. The installs are fine, although CM7's UI is thoroughly confusing. My questions are:

By installing CM7, am I also rooted as part of the process? If not, is there any additional benefit to get root?

Is ManualNooter needed if I have CM7, or is it redundant? Can I install it on top of CM7?

I can't get most apps from the Market ("your device is not compatible"). I also went to Amazon.com to try and get its AppStore app, but it gives the same error. Is this a noob issue, or is there a real problem, and is there a workaround if the latter?

What's a simple way to access network shares on my Windows network?

Is there a way to dismount & remove the microSD w/o turning the NC off?

Links would be fine. TIA for any help.
[Nook Color General] rrr1986:
You are rooted! You might want to install clock work mod from the market... I'm not sure about the computability issue as I have never had it myself.
[Nook Color General] sevs753:
If I'm understanding this correctly, you were able to go from completely stock to CM7 without rooting with manualnooter first? I'm buying a NC next week and i was unsure root was needed to go to CM7.
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
You are already rooted.

[Nook Color General] Noob^2:
@sevs753

Yes, apparently the CM7 install does the root thing for you. Still not quite sure if it's needed for anything else other than allowing custom ROMs.

I'm a little flustered with Android at the moment. Trying to edit the build.prop as some others have mentioned to temp fix the market problem, only to find that I can't download ES Explorer (what others are reportedly using) to edit the file. Was going to edit it in terminal emulator & nano, but found that the soft keyboard has no cursor keys. So I found an ES Explorer apk, and now am trying to figure out how to sideload the app--I believe that's the correct lingo for Android.

I also found that many embedded flash videos don't play (Youtube does). I thought this was a done deal with 2.3 and CM7, but apparently not. Tried to download Flash 10.3 from market, but again am blocked.

Am also trying to find the parameters of what is allowable for video playback for 2.3. For HC, you can play up to 720p and high profile H264 with "reasonable" params. I've been encoding various test clips, and it looks like the max is 854x480 at baseline profile, same as with the stock ROM.
[Nook Color General] Shandon84321:
Change your LCD density to 240 and your market will start working. It makes the icons really large but you get used to it. The best way to change the density is by editing the build.prop line that is default: qemu.sf.lcd_density=161

Change that 161 to 240 and then save your build.prop and reboot. Problem should then be solved.

I edit the build.prop with root explorer (Paid version) - you have to change from r/o to r/w first, then change back to r/o after you are done editing.
[Nook Color General] patruns:
That's quite a jump. Most people are changing to 160 which is also a standard density.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Until you really get familiar with the CM7 and the NC, I suggest you try CM7 off uSD card.
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
With 160 you will be clearing Market app data daily for it to keep working. 240 seems to keep working... I guess because almost all phones are set to 240.
[Nook Color General] skwalas:
+1 on this. I was going forever on 240 without a hiccup.

Note that ICS has also been demonstrated to change the UI depending on the density, with 160 for a tablet UI (honeycomb-ish) and 240 for phone UI (gingerbread-ish). Came across a couple references showing that density was the only thing that needed to be changed to make this happen.

I kind of suspect this may be part of why density is becoming such a big issue. It also fits with the fact that tablet-related apps show up in the market at 160 but not at 240. Perhaps Google is setting market up ahead of ICS release to handle this?
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
If i remember correctly this also happens on Honeycomb.
[Nook Color General] kingston73:
You're at the same spot I was at earlier last week. I just got my NC, and read about and made the cm7 sd card. To get market working correctly this is what I did:

- installed cm7 and gapps using this guide - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957

- once that was working I went to the market and got titanium backup installed

- once that's installed, I went to applications/manage/market and force closed market, cleared the cache, and uninstalled updates

- then I went to titanium and found marketupdater.apk and uninstalled it

- after that I opened market again, if force closed once but opened fine the second time. I now have the old style market and everything seems to work well.

I haven't used manualrooter, I only followed the above guide. As for unmounting the card, I have no idea. I'm probably going to keep things as they are, I really like being able to turn the NC off, take the card out, and have it back as stock.
[Nook Color General] skwalas:
I believe honeycomb had the capability built in but was not supposed to be enabled. Would have to dig around for links n such.
[Nook Color General] Noob^2:
I just want to say thanks for all those who replied. I'm taking some time trying different stuff on the NC, now that I've gotten a basic handle on CM7. I'll be sure to try some of the tips & info proffered.

Re: Market issue - I tried w/ File Expert to change file.prop's attribs so I can edit them, but the changes don't take. Since the entire /system partition is RO, I'm assuming I need to remount it to RW before I can do anything to the files, per NookDev's instruction. Am further assuming I'll need to install the SDK so I can get ADB running.

@Kingston73: I'm sure there are apps that do it more efficiently, but mount/unmount SD is in Settings | Storage.

More questions:

Is there a way to not have a wallpaper and have the default black background changed to something else? I like having just a plain background.

I'm using the default browser for now. Most of the sites with embedded Flash don't work (no Flash installed). I tried installing Flash 10.3 from the Adobe site, but it gives the same error as Market's. Can 10.3 be installed into CM7 at all, or is this because of the LCD density issue (which I'll get around to fixing)?

Thanks again for all your help. Am learning both Android and CM7 as I go along.
[Nook Color General] patruns:
Flash will install fine from the market if you are in the old market. It doesn't care about the density.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
You can set or remove wallpaper upon your will.

Flash 10.3 installed and worked w/o any issue with CM7.

If you can't download it directly from Market, try to sideload it.

Oh, and, recommend trying Opera browser
