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

i have a sgs from optus australia with the following info:

Baseband: I9000DTJP3

Kernel: 2.6.32.9 hardcore@speedmod-k13e-500hz #36

Build: FROYO.DTJP5

i flashed the speedmod kernel following instructions on the cyanogenmod wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide

i wanted to flash cyanogenmod but it had a signature verification fail, which i now know is because of the recovery version. so i've given up on that and i just want to update the phone over kies to the stock gingerbread.

so, i'm pretty sure i can't just connect the phone to kies and try to update it because it has clockwordmod recovery?

so the question is how do i get back to stock kernel? i think I've downloaded the right firmware (from:http://www.multiupload.com/CH3Y5SAHE2), is it a matter of finding the kernel in that folder and just flashing that back on to the phone? is there going to be any issue with this?

thanks everyone
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maatsby:
So I just went for it and updated the phone via kies. It worked with no real dramas.

So the next step in getting back to stock is to get rid of superuser, which I can't do now because the update took away root.

Is there a way to temp root the phone to remove superuser then get back to unrooted again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Why not to flash with odin, with repartition and full wipe?

It will restore it ot factory settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maatsby:
Thank you for your reply, I read this a couple of days ago but I didn't really understand half of what you said lol

So I googled a lot but i'm no closer to understanding. I did a factory reset just from the settings menu but that didn't work. What does repartition do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
Repartition will effectively wipe your entire phone (it repartitions the phone's memory).

Odin is a program used to flash (install) firmwares, both custom and stock ones. Tutorials are everywhere, please search.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maatsby:
Cool thanks for that, I guess the problem I had with understanding is what am I flashing? The stock firmware? Because isn't that what kies just did (albeit without the repartition). Seems like a pain to find the stock firmware since I just got it from Samsung ota
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
It's either that or you root and then unroot (no idea how to do that one).

http://www.samfirmware.com/ has firmwares. If you flash a Froyo one (repartition checked), you could then update again via Kies. This will give you an absolute stock phone (including the loss of all your information via the repartitioning).

[Atrix 4G General] kc3:
Okay, my atrix battery isn't too bad but definitely seems like it's not as good as a lot of people's on this forum and I have done EVERYTHING I can think of. The only thing I've been running watchdog and it seems I have no apps misbehaving but there is the "suspend" process that will frequently go over the 20% threshold I set and several times up to 50%, what is this process and could this be the source of my problem? There are also a couple other system processes that go over 20% but rarely, this one just keeps popping up though.

Yeah I saw that page, every issue I've seen with it has been with the evo with maybe two other phone models, :-/ first issue I've seen on this phone hence me asking if anyone had any other ideas, I figure there has to be a reason I seem to be the only one with the issue on the atrix that I've seen.

I've seen a few people stating they only have the issue with wifi on but I rarely have mine on.

I had an issues with battery As well I was getting4 hours on light use with setcpu running and limiting use could not make it through the night unplugged, anyways now I'm getting 8 hours on heavy texting and web I was running a kernel that for some reason was killing bat, also recalibrate your battery see if it helps, goodluck

Nimixes
[Atrix 4G General] kc3:
Thanks for the input but yeah this is my second kernel and tried recalibrating, upgrading my radio, tried a different rom *back on cm7* and nothing, that is the last thing I can think of being the suspend process, your battery life sounds a lot like mine. The other ROM I tried was aliens rom btw. Idk, my battery life isn't too bad I guess, getting eight hours as well, just not as much as other people get it seems. Meh, just the watchdog constantly going off bugs me, even rose the threshold to fifty percent and than it's like suspend automatically got even worse lol

[HTC Inspire 4G] wender0800:
I just got a new unlocked HTC inspire 4G ( at back of the phone printed AT&T)

I checked this phone has S-OFF at Hboot screen. The phone not rooted yet.

The start up screen still see the AT&T logo

I read the ACE kit regarding

"Please do NOT run the hack step if you are already S-OFF and are running a custom ROM. It's pointless, and while it won't brick you, you can get jammed up a bit. This is for stock devices only."

Is anyone can help me to see if I can run the latest ACE Hack kit?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
As you quoted there is no need to use the hack kit. You already have soff, so there is no point. What most likely happens was the phone was just flashed with the ruu, and sold to you. You have a few options. You can flash a prerooted stock rom through hboot. Or Flash clockwordmod through hboot then flash a custom rom

Here is gene pooles thread for a prerooted gingerbread. Link is in the 4th post.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1191949

I also have the pd98img for clockwork created by gene Poole if you want that. I would link to that thread but can't find it through my phone. Let me know if you want it and ill post it when I have access to a comp

The recovery link is:

[HTC Inspire 4G] wender0800:
Thank you for your quick replay. PD98img_ACE has downloaded. from the link you gave me.

What is RUU?

What is prerooted stock? is the PD98img.zip preroot stock?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Ruu. Is rom update utility. Basically these are used to return the phone software back to original stock. As if they came.out of the factory. Prerooted stock is as it sounds it's a stock rom, what your phone normally runs but has the added benefit of already having root built in, with super user access.

The pd98 that I linked to is a prerooted stock.

@gene thanks for the links. These two links have come in very handy many many times

[HTC Inspire 4G] wender0800:
1.I have download the two Zip files.

What are they differences?

I noticed, there is a big difference in file size.

Both files name are

PD98IMG_cwmrecovery (4286KB)and PD98IMG_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_rooted (257244kb)

Either way, (H-bbot O.R. clockwordmod) I would have to rename the file "PD98IMG.zip" right?

If I need to back up the current stock , when able to to that( before or after flas?)

After flash what will happen?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
The smaller one is just clockworkmod recovery. While the bigger one is the prerooted rom.

Yeah you rename to PD98IMG. Make sure its in the root of SD card(not in a folder) and flash in hboot.

After you have a clockworkmod recovery you can back up your rom.

What happends after you flash depends on which on you decide to do. If you just flash the recovery then after it rebooted you'll have your current rom untouched, but now you'll be able to flash a custom rom if you so choose. If you flash the rom, then you'll end up with a clean slate of stock rom but rooted,you'll have to really sign in and set your phone back up

no hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] wender0800:
Thank you, Marsdta, for all the explanations. Now, I got better clear picture now.

Sorry, This is my first cell phone, So, I am still learning how to…

After clockworkmod recovery is done, and rebooted , the cell phone will Rooted right ? So, I can use the clockworkmod to back up the current rom to Sd card, right?

After back up the current rom I can do any of the one at below?,

Flash it to PD98IMG_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_R adio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_root ed (257244kb)

Or flash to Cyanogen, Ninja Rom, or Android Revolution rom.

Is my understand correctly? The PD98IMG_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_R adio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_root ed (257244kb) is factory official prerooted stock rom for AT&T.

What Is program you recommend to use in Windowe to do the MD5 checksum? Is Fastsum o.k.?

It seems like, If I need to backup the current rom on my cell, I have to do

1 clockworkmod recovery first

2. use clockworkmod to back up the current rom

3, flash the PD98IMG_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_R adio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_root ed

Is my procedure correct?

Can you explain on "If you flash the rom, then you'll end up with a clean slate of stock rom but rooted,you'll have to really sign in and set your phone back up"

I did not know what is you'll have to really sign in and set your phone back up?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Nothing to be sorry about. We are started at the same place. I'm more than happy to help out.

You are correct on all counts except that having clockwordmod does not mean you are rooted. Generally the goal is to be rooted and have cwr. But once you have cwr you can back up your current rom.

What I ment by resigning in and setting up your phone,is think of it when you first. Got the phone. Had to sign into gmail, and setup some of your apps and settings. Google will backup and restore quite a bit but not everything. Many people use titanium backup to do that for them, but it can only be used once your rooted. So in your case after you flash a custom rom.

As two checking the md5checksum, you can use any program you like. I usually flash my files straight from my phone so I use the app android file verifier

Edit- I reread my older post and see where the confusion is. I men re-sign in. Not really sign in. I need To watch what autocorrect thinks I mean and proofread.

no hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] wender0800:
Thank you again, Still need clearly the procedure

It seems like, If I need to backup the current rom on my cell, I have to do

step 1 use H-boot to flash with the PD98IMG_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_R adio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_root ed

Step 2 the cell is root after flash, so it can be install the clockworkmod recovery

Step 3. use clockworkmod recovery to back up the current rom

correct?

I only have the phone few days, so it is ok for me to re-do the setting again, thank you for explanation.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:

Please help me to check if this is the correct procedure

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033353

First time Flashing ROM with scare:

1-Do not unpack/unzip the ROM

2-Copy the ROM to the root of your sd card (Root= not in a folder)

3-And rename it to PD98IMG.zip

4-Check PD98IMG.zip file’s MD5checksum

5-Boot your phone into recovery by booting into h-boot ( turn fastboot off ) then turn your phone off and turn it back on pressing both power+volume down, until the h-boot menu appears. Use the volume buttons to scroll down to recovery then press power to select.)

6-Using the volume buttons scroll down to down to wipe data/factory reset. (unless you are upgrading, (THIS STEP IS NOT OPTIONAL!)-Press the power button to select.

7-Use the volume buttons to scroll down to YES-- delete all user data, use the power button to select.

8-Scroll down to Advanced press power to select.

9-Scroll to Wipe Dalvik Cache press power to select.

10-Go down to Yes-- Wipe Dalvik Cache use the power button to select.

11-Select go back

12-Go to Install zip from sdcard and select it using the power button.

13-Select choose zip from sdcard.

14-Scroll down and find the ROM you wish to flash press the power button to select it.

15-Select Yes - Install (roms name)

-You are now flashing a rom!

-Once the rom has finished flashing select reboot system now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Not quite, that's the method for flashing roms roms through recovery.

We are flashing a pd98img, so the procedure is different as its flashed through hboot.

1) place file into root of SD card(not in a folder)

2) rename to PD98IMG.zip(very important has to be exact. Caps matter. Make sure when renaming you don't accidently add an extra zip ie pd98img.zip.zip

2.5) verify md5checksum

3) make sure fastboot is turned off in settings. And boot into hboot- power off phone. While holding volume down press power button.

4) it will automatically scan for the file and prompt you to update. Say yes.

5)make a sammich?

6) after it reboots download rom manager and install clockworkmod.

[HTC Inspire 4G] wender0800:
Good to check with you or I will make a mistake, still have questions

2) rename to PD98IMG.zip(very important has to be exact. Caps matter. Make sure when renaming you don't accidently add an extra zip ie pd98img.zip.zip

Q- The file to rename is PD98IMG_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_R adio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_root ed (257244kb)?

5)make a sammich?

Q- what is this?

Q-After this update. Is my phone still remain unlocked ? This is important to me because I am using T-Mobile not AT&T.:confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] wender0800:
“Or Flash clockwordmod through h-boot then flash a custom rom”

Is possible to try above you suggested approach first?

I want to install Flash clockwordmod, I want to back up the current rom on SD card just in case any happen so I can come back to current state. If yes, How to?

I am little worry if the unlock will became lock to AT&T by flash to unsigned PD98IMG .

“This is an unsigned PD98IMG so you must have S-OFF and it won't touch your data or cache partitions so you should clear dalvik and cache, and you may need to do a full wipe if you had an EXT4 partition before, or some other oddity with /data so backup (titanium and nandroid just to be sure). All AT&T bloatware included.”
[HTC Inspire 4G] wender0800:
What is real do on the pd98img for clockwork created by gene Poole ,in my phone situation ( S-Off and also unlocked)?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
2) thats the full name of the file. We only need the PD98IMG part.

5) was making a joke. It takes a few minutes to flash, so I suggested making a sandwich while you wait.

Your phone will remain unlocked.

You can flash gene pool recovery file first and backup, but personally I wouldn't. You don't have root so for me their is no benefit in backing that up rom,but that's just a preference.I would just flash a custom rom. If you want to then go for it.

To flash this recovery it is the same procedure I mentioned earlier

5) was making a joke. It takes a few minutes to flash, so I suggested making a sandwich while you wait.

This is good Joke, I also looking on line, I was think after this update, it will from GB to sanwish. below is I found on line

"I'm wondering what the next ones will be named... it's been Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, and the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich...

So maybe Jellybean, Krispy Kreme, Lemonade, Mars Bars, Nutella, O'Henry, Popsicle, ?, Red Vines, Sugar, Toffee, ?, ?, Whatchamacallit, ?, YooHoo, Zooanimals

But in answer to Damon, it's expected to be released in Q4 - just combines some Gingerbread and Honeycomb stuff into a cohesive whole... and Q4 is when the EVO 4G hits end of life so it's kind of doubtful we'll be seeing too much around that time.

You could probably run it on the tablet, but it's more of an un-forking than something new."

Your phone will remain unlocked.

Noted, Thank you.

I know it did not have the benefit on current the ROM in the cell phone but I just feel safe if I back up something I have, just in case something go wrong.

To flash this recovery it is the same procedure I mentioned earlier

Bummer, I just found out the guy sold the phone from Amazone to me, steal SD card from the phone, I just order from Newegg now.

Hello,

I've been wanting to root my DHD using the ace hack kit. Problem is, my DHD is unbranded. Would I need a spare SD card to make a gold card?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
You definitely need an SDcard. Whether you need a goldcard or not is irrelevant. The kit makes a goldcard itself internally and if it doesn't need it, it won't hurt that its there, and it won't affect the contents of the SDCard (assuming the card has no issues--it never hurts to backup just in case).

I need help for stock voltages with this kernel.

I am trying to make some micro adjustments using the app "System Tuner". The "reset all" button just up and disappeared. the reason why I ask is because when I scroll down, based on my finger position it just drags a bar way up and I don't know the defaults.

I assume this kernel is already undervolted, but if im looking to push the limits for my chip, what type of gains will I see by moving down -12.5mv across the board in a percentage, for each -12.5mv?

1.45 // 1137.5

1.51 // 1150

1.56 // 1175

I really want to see people get involved with this so we can maybe gain a consensus from all of us what seems to work best! Would also appreciate some help on them defaults again ;)
[HTC Sensation] durps:
Although I'm using the Bricked kernel, I just wanted to let you know what I did.

I opened system tuner and hit the -12.5mv button about 8 times, ( I forgot), but my 1.18ghz is now at 1000mv. I can probably go lower, but don't wanna run into any problems.

The first four clocks (192-432)I also put them as low as they could go which is 812.5 I believe.

Everything is fine so far, haven't encountered any problems and battery life is ok. Not a dragstic difference from non-undervolted though.

Just back up your rom and try to go lower if you'd like, if bootloops occur, just go to recovery and restore the backup.

[HTC Sensation] thebluecoat:
To the poster who said that moving back the voltages 8 times. 8 * 12.5 = 100millivolts, I moved mine back 7, everything seems to be stable.

However, why do you think that reducing consumption as high as 100millivolts, would NOT make that much of a difference?

Are there any electricians here that could help me with the math on how much extra time, or reduced consumption there would be with a -100millivolt difference against a fully charged 4200mW battery. ?

Hard pressed to believe reducing it that much has little effect on battery life.
