[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lpfthings:
Hey guys, I'm fairly new to Android, and even smart phones in general, but I need a bit of assistance.

I bought a phone from a friend in Canada, the GT-I9000M.

I live in Australia, and I'm trying to unlock it to work here. I wasn't having much success with getting root of the phone etc, so I decided to have a look at cyanogenmod.

I have followed this wikipedia article by every character: wiki.cyanogenmod[dot]com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide

However, the phone acts a bit odd. It'll boot up, show the cyanogenmod splash screen, then load to a recovery menu, but then the text will fly up very fast, and the phone just reboots itself in an endless loop. I managed to get a photo of the menu before it rebooted itself, and found this (Link to an external image, since I can't post them yet):

dl.dropbox[dot]com/u/203420/DSCF2542.jpg

And this is where I'm stuck. I have the cyanogenmod update zip on the SD card, but it seems to give a "SD card marker not found", and resort to looking on the phones internal memory (Which obviously fails).

I've tried a few other things, like flashing the boot.img file instead of the zImage (Which actually gets me further than just the zImage, which sits in the galaxy S splash screen).

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Regards,

Dan

Have you tried reflashing the phone with the KG3 firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nachokb:
same problem here... CyanogenMod wiki articles have instructions for I9000 and the T959, but not the I9000M. I'm looking for a kernel zImage with CWM recovery for the I9000M.

As for the KG3, I've found a 3-files version, but couldn't manage to flash it with Heimdall...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysDroid:
This is not bad, I had this when trying to boot one of my ports.

To fix:

1. Flash custom kernel through Odin (devil, semaphore for example)

2. Now directly boot into recovery, which should now be cwm.

3. Flash desired ROM and wipe data/factory reset, clear dalvik, cache etc.

4. Boot up!

So i have a galaxy S I9000 and im not very hi tek...i rooted my phone so i could download gameboy games and i may have also got an app to delete stock android apps...accidently deleted the stock internet app and now i have no internet....i have tried a factory reset and a hard reset...formatted the internal memory and cleared cache and may have threw the phone at the wall...(china made phone cases cost so little but really do help the average angry person)....im willing to try anything short of sending my phone away to get it fixed or running it over and claiming a new one on insurence...can someone please help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungSinema:
Why don't you just go to the market and download an internet app?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beetz:
....no market....no internet
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10tonhammr:
As the previous poster said, you can just download another browser app from the market. Your phone does not depend on the browser app for a data connection. If for some reason you can't do that:

Check the I9k forums and find a CWM flashable, stock ROM. Download it, use 7zip or winrar (or any other windows archive program- google search 7zip, its free to download) and open the ROM file. Go to: system/app. Find browser.apk and extract it to your desktop. Use adb to install it: adb push /system/app/browser.apk and you should be all set.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beetz:
thanks for that did kinda help...is there anyway i can just remove everything on the phone and re install everything....kinda like re-booting with all the preloaded samsung apps...regardless if i deleted some or not?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10tonhammr:
No, not really. You would need to reflash the stock system image. Factory resets just wipe user settings, app data, and other stuff like that. It won't restore anything. If you want to do a reinstall, look into using Odin to flash back to stock. Just BE CAREFUL. Odin can brick you if you don't know what you're doing. Better off following the steps I outlined, or installing CWM and flashing a stock ROM. Again, the safest way to do what you want is what I previously posted.

Hi guys,

a noob here.

which is the most quick sense 3 rom available. At present i am using beatmod, it is amazing but the speed isnt enough inspite of swap and overclocking to 1.8g.

anyways to make it snappier?

secondly could anyone give some insight on the difference of various sense3 roms for DZ, so that i can go for the right one.

Some problems if you could help me on with beatmod..

1. sometimes, pressing the power button to wake shows up a blank screen. i have to wait or long press power button and then short press once for the lock screen to come.

2. sometimes i get a call while the screen is blank!

3.sometimes it gets draggy

4. is there any tweak to wake with trackpad button?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whpsnp:
I wouldn't hesitate to give the Virtuous beta (trentacinque) a go if I were you.

Just do a nandroid backup and you can always restore your current configuration if you feel like it.

Just remember you have to reactivate swap once flashed. The Virtuous beta doesn't have tp wake either at this time but I think the final version will have it once released.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aDeQ666:
Currently using virtuous beta 2. Currently running quite well & stable for beta version.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coachmoore:
I've been using runny Meade 3.5 for a couple of Weeks, no problems at all. No tp wake though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoffmas:
I use the virtuous beta2 with swap enabled and formated the internal sdcard to ext4 - running @ 1,1 ghz very stable and quite fast. No errors at all at catlog :)

EDIT: you can use the tp-wake from the beatmod thread, works on beatmod hybrid and on virtuous
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strawmetal:
Beatmod is marginally better

Personally having tried the latest Virtuous Affininty 1.48 and Beatmod BlissSense 3.2... i feel beatmod is smoother( enabled swap and supercharger for both) though Affinity comes with other tweaks... its a matter of choice..

For those whose experience lag even after swap and supercharger should give this a go..http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1411317 It worked beautifully for me..

I hate SENSE3 ROMs. MIUI is the fastest ROM Ever.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foefur:
Tried Virtuous Unity (sense 3) for a couple of weeks both found it a bit laggy in times.

Now on Virtous Affinty (sense 3.5) with supercharger and swap and it runs very smooth!!

Keeping this one till the ICS is ported to the DZ
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strawmetal:
MIUI is definitely faster but as iinnocent wants to use a sense based rom... i think he needs advice only on that line of roms..

btw i started having problems with beatmod too(freezes when i recieve calls) today... switching back to my fav Bulletproof MIUI now

Error Mesaj Please....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chatty_VIE:
Good morning Developers and community

As i'm completely new to HTC devices, flashing, rooting, and so on ... i've got a short question for you all

Actually i'm on an Austrian (A1) branded and simlocked HTC Desire HD with a Vodafone_fr branding (yes the provider uses that *** branding)

Android Version: 2.3.3

HTC Sense: 2.1

Baseband: 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M

Kernel: 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb

Build: 2.50.163.3 CL123205 release-keys

Software: 2.50.163.3

As i want to get rid of al these annoying pre-installed trial apps and as i want to recieve OTA updates in time and not when the provider is ready to send them (if they do ...:rolleyes:) i decided to root the device by using the

new aahk tool to try to get 2.3.4 or higher for my DHD somehow

This aahk worked perfect for my device, no problems at all and i could get rid of all these apps, freeing some memory in my device

As this tool roots, Radio s-off, sets super cid, removes the simlock on this phone

i'm currently not able to get ota updates from anywhere (if i got that right from all the threads i read)

Now i was thinking about flashing the device with a htc rom and found this one on shipped-roms:

RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.50.405.2_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_199042_signed.exe

The questions i have to you all are:

- is this the correct RUU for my device

- if i flash the device with an RUU, i'm i able to get OTA updates or do i have to set it to Radio S-ON manually again.

- if so - how ?

- is the simlock still removed with an RUU flash ?

i don't care if i have root access or not as i only want to have a clean installation without any provider c**p on my device

Thank you all in advance for your answers :)

Greetings from Austria
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fshami:
- yes 2.50.405.2 is the latest official RUU

- You don't need to be S-ON to get OTA

- This RUU doesn't contain anything for Simlock (as it is operator specific)

Have you flashed a custom recovery like 4EXT or CMW? If not then flashing it will help you to flash between different custom ROMs..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chatty_VIE:
Wow thank you so much for your quick reply!

Hm good question. I just used the aahk tool to get rid of the sim lock and to get root access.

I did not install any rom so far.

The tool also set a SuperCID. Don't know if i matters or not.

According to the tool, the clockworkmod is installed and i can see it in the bootloader and i already did a backup of my rom to the SD card.

(go to recovery -> ClockworkMod v5.0.2.0)

But will the CWM still remain after the RUU flash !?

Thought, that it will be overwritten and the phone un-rooted :confused:

thx again !
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fshami:
Good news, if u already have clockwork recovery installed than no need to flash the ruu as it will overwrite recovery. You can either try my GB Sense 3.0 or i can give u an optimized / rooted 2.50.x build if u want ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chatty_VIE:
Trying to summarize:

- OTA does not work with both of them if i got it right

- if I flash with 2.50.x RUU build from HTC i can re-root this build again using the aahk tool (should work with 2.50) and i have an unbranded rootet DHD without any provider apps again.

- if I take your optimized build i don't need to re-root it (what's the "optimized" part in your build? :D)

- if I take GB Sense 3.0 then I have a "brand new" rooted? DHD and I can go back to the rom i currently have.

:rolleyes::cool:

any recommendations?:D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fshami:
If u flash 2.50 via ruu it'll remove custom recovery & rooting. U'll still get OTA with it.

If u flash a pre-rooted / optimized 2.50 build, ur custom recovery will remain & u'll get OTA..

If u flash GB Sense 3.0 since it is a leaked version so i don't think any chances of OTA, however u can flash any rom u want..

Hello Everyone,

I am having a big issue with my inspire. Im having too many drop calls on the phone sometimes after every 3-4 minutes. Even my brother doesnt have any drop call issue on his phone (iphone 4 and blackberry, both on at&t), so its not a network issue.

Only im having this issue of drop calls. Im using CoreDroid HD V8.1 ROM and Radio is 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 and the respective RIL i.e. RIL_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2

Can anyone please suggest me of a better radio or RIL combo or any other suggestion to help me out.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] My 1st Android:
Hi,

on a rooted but stock (infratech) rom, I experience loosing settings in the touchwiz launcher: I changed the default apps (normally phone, contacts, sms and appdrawer). One or two times a day I now see only two remaining (phone and appdrawer), while the two I put in there myself (another sms client, and settings) 'disappeared'. Of course, I put them back again, but still strange that the touchwiz launcher seems to have 'forgot' them. Any ideas?

All the apps are in phone memory: no apps on the sd.card....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Have you already wiped the cache partition (and Dalvik cache) in recovery mode?

If not, please try.

Recovery mode = Volume UP + Home + Power

Wipe cache partion (and if you have got CWM recovery, then advanced => clear Dalvik cache too).

If that does not help, you can try to use another launcher (e.g. Nemus Launcher app from the market).

Or you just re-flash your ROM with Odin and make a hard reset afterwards (*2767*3855#).

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] My 1st Android:
Hmmmm.... Tried that, and it seems it worked.

(now almost ready to say 'its the cache, stupid' to myself :-().

Will post an update if it were to return, but for now 'thanks' from this newbie!

kind regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] My 1st Android:
update:

clearing the (normal) cache helped a bit, I later cleared the dalvik cache as well. The two problems I have (besides the one in this thread I also have an issue with the stock browser forgetting that it should be the preferred browser) became less: it takes longer to forget which browser is standard, and forgetting the apps in the bottom row is limited to just after the phone is put on again (say after powering it down for the night). So no complete solution, but better than before.

Kind regards,

Hi,

Do you think it is possible some Galaxy Note applications using pen to be adopted for Galaxy SII? For example I have tried S memo, it starts but after that force close.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] wer11:
Perfect question
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Robi-K:
The apps themselves could be ported but the s-pen won't work with our device. The note has a special touchscreen not manufactured by samsung or at least noy developed by them.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] OpenMinded:
Are sure about this pen thing?

Pen's can be bought that simply work with a touch screen like the S2.

I tried to simply install the apk's from an original rom on my S2 with MIUI, but it did not work, gave me : application not installed.

Even when I copied the TWLauncher30 to /system/app I got no way to select the launcher, so I guess porting is necessary or I am missing dependencies.

I am very much interested in the note app too.

If anyone figured it out I'd love to know it.

I guess something has to be done for the screen resolution coversion, perhaps similar work that was done on the virtuous rom, that ported sensation resolution of 960 down to 800.

One might ask those devs :)?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Robi-K:
About the S-pen not working I'm sure. From my understanding it was made to work with that specific touchscreen. About the apps I tend to believe that they will work once ported but not with the S-pen. I know you can buy specific pens for capacitative touchscreens but that's not the same.

With all this said I somewhat do believe in miracles, especially seeing some of the devs in action, but I still doubt the S-pen will work with our screens.

Again this is only my opinion and understanding so far. Feel free to prove me wrong.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JHimmelbauer:
S Memo is from Diotek- Diotek has an App called DioMemo in the market, it is a little bit like S Memo (but not with this quality and all functions). Look at

[Captivate General] RashaMatt:
I just figured out that the infamous Gingerbread charge bug (where the Cappy starts discharging as soon as it reaches 100%) only happens for me when plugged into the original Samsung charger.

When I plug my Cappy into a cheap-o replacement charger (also 700mA) - eureka, problem solved, the phone stays at 100% indefinitely. I've verified it a bunch of times and the different behaviors on the two chargers are perfectly consistent (meaning each charger always acts consistently).

So if you suffer from the charge bug and you're using the stock Samsung charger, go get yourself a cheap replacement charger and see if you get the same results...

I'm not sure that buying another is a reliable workaround. The charger that you bought is probably continuing to charge even though your battery is already full. This ultimately is harmful for your phone and battery...

I'm not sure where I found this out (it was definitely on XDA somewhere), but what has worked for me is turning on WiFi before plugging in my charger. For some strange reason, that has worked for me. If you have the charge bug, try turning on WiFi before you charge and see if that works!

As you are running CheckROM, please post your question in CheckROM thread.

To restore boot sound, you can try to flash another kernel, which has boot sound.

Or you can flash another ROM, which has boot sound.

Or you can try to manipulate the boot qmg files in /system/media/ ... but if you do not know what to do, keep your hands off.
