[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milan64586:
I still checked "re-partition" because I was using before DEODEXED, and now I am flashing ODEXED rom, so I thought maybe it is a different partition type. Is this ok? Flash went okay.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seghier:
hello

when you find pit file repartition cheked automaticly

tell me if you success with flashing
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milan64586:
Yes I did, thank you. But this problem with unable to restore to factory settings, after do root, still exist, even on ODEXED rom. It is deffinatelly some bug.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seghier:
if you have problems you can format your sd card but first save all your files and data files using cwm : than create backup

you can try other deodexed rom from : s i9000 developement

i used the original deodexed rom and work fine
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milan64586:
I don't have external SD card, just internal memory. Backup isn't problem. I wanted to delete all my personal data, but this error happenes. Did you try erase personal data AFTER did a root?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seghier:
try this

settings ----- sd card and phone storage-------usb storage : format usb storage

and that remove all your files : music photos ...etc

-for hard reset try this : *2767*3855#

-factory data reset : *#*#7780#*#*

save all your photos and music ....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milan64586:
I already bring back some things, and also I managed to erased all that before doing root, so I won't experimenting anymore for now. Thak for your help. I will try this next time I want to clean my phone completly. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seghier:
i hope that work for you

and deodexed rom more better because you can add new theme or launcher or flash update without limit than oxeded rom

good luck

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahsehriyar:
working now? please give a feedback ? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milan64586:
Like a wrote before. DEODEXED and ODEXED both work and I CAN restore to factory settings. After do root, it can't ba done anymore. I tried every possible combination, but result is same, so I guess that can't be done (which isn't so importante to me because I already restored to factory settings before apply root).

I didn't try other kernel (don't know either where to find other kernel), because I already installed programs, made personal settings, so I don't want again to wype all that.

If someone of you could try this it would be okay.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milan64586:
I am not so experienced about all this. What is difference between semaphore kernel and that other kernel I used for root?

Also if someone else could try this, who need to clean phone anyway, because I just make everything to work OK, so I don't want to experiment again. :)

use semaphore kernel for this ramad's rom as its best i use it too no problem what so ever.End this rom is rooted by stock as ramad roote evry rom,u can use it with stock kernel too still as i doo....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milan64586:
I am wondering, just hypothetically, if I want to erase my personal data (which I cant now because this bug), can I just flash stock kernel via Odin, than do that, and than bring back this actual root kernel? And if I can do this, should I just load PDA and PIT in Odin, without re-partition checked?

And am I going to loose than some thing I did, while phone was rooted, like put some swype languages, missing factory widgets, and stuff?

And another question. After I bring back my old (stock) kernel, and than want to root again, could I put that other kernel you've suggested (semaphore), and can I do that also via Odin (PDA+PIT)?

Salam,,,,

i just bought my galaxy s ii yesterday with stock 2.3.4

i think that i followed all steps for "rooting thing"

after load "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG1-v4.1-CWM4" in Odi3 v1.85

when i clicked start it says pass, but the last message in the box it says: Removed!!

then i got the yellow triangle, i tried to do the same step again and again, and sometimes load "KERNEL_I9100XXKG2_CL375027_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5"

i cant start my phone!!

help please

my apologies

Simple to remove yellow triangle: USB Jig

Second problem, try holding down Power + Vol Down + Home buttons together when the phone is off, until you see a verification popup saying if you want to continue to flashing a custom ROM. Then try reflashing your ROM or kernel.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freakgs:
There we are. The Galaxy S 2 does not need a pit file, you probably got a pit file for a Samsung Galaxy S.

<Warning information heard from other users>

In another big Android board is a discussion going on that flashing a pit file can fry the mainboard + battery as it will use wrong settings (the settings for the Galaxy S) and apply a too high voltage.

</Warning information heard from other users>

From my experience in that case even the jig does not work anymore (you could try it anyways) so you might either need to send it to Samsung or find somebody with a JTAG (won't help if the mainboard gets damaged).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DBGT_87:
@prodygee

i hope it doesnt take long time in delivery
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DBGT_87:
ohh, dont tell me that the board is damaged

i didnt spent 24h yet!!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freakgs:
Nah, as I said, those are just reports from other users I couldn't verify (I'm not gonna flash a pit file just for the sake of testing!) so you should try the jig anyways, because it's not expensive and does the trick in many cases.

However if those user claims are correct not even a JTAG could help but let's just hope the best for the moment, there's no point in being scared beforehand.

I wish you luck and please tell us if the jig worked!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
If you want to remove the yellow triangle and you don't have a jig it will be simple..

Flash Cf-Root

Flash stock kernel (cwm for cf root will remain)

Unzip the Cf root you falshed earlier until you get zImage and don't rename it

Open cwm

Choose flash kernel

Select the zImage you extracted and flash

After that there will be no yellow triangle after boot

[LG Optimus 2x] rottenpenguin:
As I previously read, out of the 512 MB of our O2X's, some 128-140 MB are reserved for the Tegra chip-set, and the rest of 380 MB are available to Android and applications.

With Froyo, there were usually 180-200 MB of memory free after booting/killing all apps, and like 90-130 MB free after normal usage. I'm not sure, but if I remember correctly, in the running apps screen, the sum of the used/available memory summed up to about the previous stated 380 MB.

After applying the GB update, after booting/killing all apps there are only 140 MB free and about 60 MB after some usage. If I go to Manage Apps -> Running apps, the sum of the used and available memory is around 310-320.

My question is: why is there less memory available in GB? Has LG increased the graphics memory from 128 MB to 192 MB? If yes, is it possible to change this allocation? Or is there a ROM that uses less graphics memory?

Maybe GB reports available memory differently, but it's definitely noticeable that there's less RAM available. If switching from browser to another app, with Froyo the page loaded was kept in memory, however with GB the page always has to be reloaded even if the switch lasted like 20-30 seconds.

Edit: I'd like to use less graphics memory and have more RAM so my apps run faster.
[LG Optimus 2x] taxas:
No the Vram is the same. The phone still has 380 mb ram to use for the OS and apps. Also free ram is wasted ram since apps are not cached so they will not launch faster.
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
And therefore taskplanners are also not needed ;-)
[LG Optimus 2x] markop90:
Not completely true. Android kills automatically unneeded processes, that's true, but sometimes it happens that an app remains in background and uses the 100% of the CPU, so i use the task killers to terminate it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Try Super charger, very efficient and not as resources consuming than apps. Search the dedicated thread.

And I don't think there is a way to free graphical memory. I don't think it's software driven but physical...

The only thing that had been made is to free the reserved memory for OTA LG service, that leaves you some more memory, but only available in some roms.
[LG Optimus 2x] b3ndech0:
Its possible to give the GPU less memory, different defs have done it (i.e benee). But as far as i know most of them removed that tweak since it was causing alot of bugs.

And yes, free ram are most likely wasted ram.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
If ya want to change vram look at this: https://raw.github.com/gist/1170959/73e5f41b1ad8b3bb65c8bd22d422a4fd877204a3/CarveoutMemory

It contains a little info about the things you need to change. Some skills required though :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Wing_Zero85:
Hi kiljacken !

I remember that you've made some times ago a kernel with 64mb more of ram...

Also for the stock rom...

butI can't find it anymore...

Any help?
[LG Optimus 2x] rottenpenguin:
Thanks for the replies guys!

It seems like if possible, it's very complicated to change the video memory allocation, so I'll leave it like that.
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
hey all!

i have question like that! im working on electronic factory and have no problems with solder out and in BGA chips even the smallest ones! now the question! if i will solder out the ram chip and solder back in 1GB ram chip of the same tipe and company(i have acces to all the part available on the market)?
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
How small is the solder required? Would be amazing if we could upgrade.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
I'm very unsure. I am sure though, that both kernel and boot image changes would be needed to run with the added memory
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
i think it's impposible to change the graphic memory size, maybe RAM hack? if you want to free RAM just use supercharger, i already used that and my free ram about 117-130 MB
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It's completely possible, it's something that's controlled by the kernel.
[LG Optimus 2x] PAIIITET:
Such kernels already were in the spring which reduced video memory by 64 Mb
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
so if I'm understanding correct if i will solder in new memory chip all i will need is to find how to change the ram value from 372 to 872?
[LG Optimus 2x] rottenpenguin:
I suppose if LG's programmers were careful enough not to hard-code any values, the phone should detect the memory like a computer detects new RAM. However ROMs which target multiple devices with different RAM, like CM, shouldn't have such issues...
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
I would LOVE 1GB ram! :) What would such ram cost?
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Guys, RAM amounts are hardcoded into the kernel, so a custom kernel would be needed to use the ram. IF it's even possible to use such amounts of RAM. There migth be limitations in the bootloader, which will cause problems, but kernel changes should be enough. If you try it on your device I would be glad to provide a kernel that supports that amount of RAM, but I don't think it's doable. AFAIK the RAM is tightly packed in the device with many other components. It might even be built into the SoC making it impossible to change. But IDK, feel free to try what you want, but remember it's your device that gets destroyed if something goes wrong.
[LG Optimus 2x] b3ndech0:
Do it OP!
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
i will not do it on my device. will search lockak adds for broken screen/body o2x. if will find it in cople of weeks will do it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
No idea, I would assume not. I was talking about the amount of mem allocated to the GPU.
[LG Optimus 2x] Johann2000:
Wow that would be awesome :D

theoretically, if you have 1gb ram on your phone, you could allocate even more ram to the graphic chip and have even better gaming results, right? :D

[Edit:]

found a site which might be helpful: www[dot]anandtech[dot]com/Gallery/Album/932#1

So i dont think, you can change the ram chip.. everything is so tight in there :D
[LG Optimus 2x] orlox:
I think the solution you are looking for is swapper.

What you see is the amount of free memory and swap memory. I have 10 opened pages at opera and I also have dungeon defenders opened. I play a bit and I change back to opera and pages are still opened withought reloading
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
If you can CM7, you can enable compcache instead of using a swap app, but really, you don't need to.

Hello,

I have an Xperia X10a - which I flashed to stock GB 2.3.3 when it was released. I have been having wifi issues with this (sometimes wifi enable option gets stuck - it cannot be checked - battery has to be removed to fix).

I changed to WB 6.0 ROM two days ago (same baseband/kernel as stock2.3.3) - and everything was working fine; except I had wifi hang similar to above a couple of times. Upon searching similar threads on xda - I found someone recommened flashing wifi-module via xrecovery. So I tried this just now -- used doomlord's wifi module:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18183224&postcount=12

>> x10_gb_DooMKernel-v05-FS_wifi modules (can be flashed via recovery)

Once this was done and I rebooted - I have been unable to get wifi to turn on (says 'error' everytime I try to enable the checkbox). So I decided to flash doomkernelV05-FS via flashtool -- but flashing aborts as soon I connect in flash mode and I get error message asking to enable USB Debugging (which is already enabled). So I am unable to flash the kernel.

Is there a different wifi module I need to be using? Any other solution?

All help is greatly appreciated - since I have wifi no more!

Thanks

Thanks for pointing that out - I missed that in the doomkernal thread title! I unlocked the bootloader using Flashtool 0.2.4.0 and then was able to flash doomkernel just fine with Flashtool. After that I reflashed the wifi module.

Wifi now works (at least it can be enabled) -- but still keeps hanging. If I turn off wifi and then try to turn on again - it hangs (says "turning on" - but the option is grayed out and nothing happens - wifi doesn't get enabled). Sometimes reboot fixes the problem - sometimes after reboot - it still shows "turning on" and is grayed out. In that case- have to remove battery and then turn it on again - to get it to work. Any ideas on how to resolve?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] xallyx:
Sensation is the best android phone I've had so far, I don't see how rooting it will benefit. It's already fast, apps2sd, pre installed screen shot, reboot, skins and themes +...

Only thing missing is bloat, CPU, overclocking, and ad remover, I can do with out.

Anyone care to differ? Lol
[HTC Sensation] UK-Sense:
Those are the reasons I rooted, and to try different Roms and get the Beats Audio onto my normal sensation :D
[HTC Sensation] buzz killington:
The main reason I wanted root was to use titanium backup to restore apps/data from my hd2. Overclocking on this phone wasn't necessary for me and I don't care about the bloat as long as they don't insist on running.

Adfree is a bonus, so is hacking letsgolf to give you a million dollars :)

Rooting is very useful as many apps require it. I would've been satisfied with temp root, but my phone came with the update already applied and I couldn't use it.
[HTC Sensation] Rick.M:
If you're happy with Stock, there probably isn't a compelling reason for you to root. Why go through all the time and hassle, right?

For me, it was a quest to improve battery life. Stock ROM for me was awful. I couldn't seem to get through a 8-10 work day with light-to-moderate use without having to recharge. I know for some this is acceptable, but I had a hard time reconciling my times with what some others where reporting (20+ hrs with same usage).

When I had my iPhone, the only compelling reason I jailbroke it was to get wifi hotspot functionality.

Maybe you just haven't found that one "thing" you can't live without, yet.
[HTC Sensation] xallyx:
I have a rooted functional G1 still, and a mytouch slide, I just wanted to see what people thought now about rooting, and the sensation, especially since newer phones have a lot more options.

I did forget to mention hotspot lol, as far as the battery, I have 3 and always carry one around with me :D

I just found out about the screen shot that's pre installed few days ago. I've tried all the apps and purchased one that works w.o root lol, Roms, mods, themes ect... Can be a bit to much. I'm a home screen freak I change every thing from widgets to icons daily lol. One of the best features imo.

Only thing lacking is the ability to remove stock apps. I'm not sure if I want to go through all the trouble of rooting just for that lol

I also use dropbox and 4shared to save apps and use at another time, with out using phone memory, uploading from the phone is pretty sweet lol
[HTC Sensation] UK-Sense:
that is a very good answer to the OP
[HTC Sensation] indie:
I'm in the same situation where my 1 week old sensation is on stock. It's seems to tick all boxes at the moment so I don't really feel the need to take the risk and root. Apart from custom roms I haven't really seen the need, but I'm sure that will all change soon once I get more familiar with the phone. I remember with my hd2 the first day I got it I changed Rom as the development is still great there
[HTC Sensation] ErrorInLogic:
Why not root? That's the real question.
[HTC Sensation] jlczl:
Cuz it's a pain. There isn't an easy way to do it like there was for WM 6.5 or iOS for that matter.
[HTC Sensation] hello00:
Are you serious? have you been living under a rock
[HTC Sensation] xallyx:
It depends what type of phone you have, some require a pc, adb knowledge, and some other stuff, others have easy root apps that seem to work best before the update lol.

I think Droids are probably the easiest to root, or any phone with 2.2 lol
