[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] AsafteiLaurentiu:
What to do ?

Please post me a corect tutorial link because I have finded 3 diffenrent tutotials.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mikeeo019:
The link for the ROM is posted above, download that. Extract that, the password is linked to the post.

-Download ODIN Multidownloader 4.43. Link: http://www.google.fi/url?sa=t&rct=j...n4WHBA&usg=AFQjCNEnkhKjmSRxlKLFcVNdXh8nnFxU1A

-After it has downloaded, extract it anywhere u want (i suggest desktop, easier)

-RUN ODIN.

-Power off your phone.

-Put your phone into downloading mode. Hold together: Power+Volume Down+Home (phone boots to Downloading mode)

-Connect your phone to PC via USB cable.

-Wait for the drivers to install. After that, in ODIN, one of the top line "bars" should turn yellow and some text should appear there.

-Download the AriesVE.ops file and check it as OPS. Then check one package from the top left. Link to download: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=770410&d=1320332631

-The ROM you've downloaded, check it as one package. Then click flash.

-Flashing will take about 9 minutes.

-Enjoy!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] AsafteiLaurentiu:
Thank`s dude .. I just hitted your thank`s button :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] AsafteiLaurentiu:
Wich part must load, because when I extracted the firmware I founded 2 files:

SMD_CSC_GT-I9001-MULTI-CSC-OXAKF1_EMMC.smd 539MB

and

SMD_I9001XXKF8_I9001XXKF8_CL310526_REV00_user_low_ ship_EMMC.smd 50MB

Or I don`t extract and loar the archive ?

So ... please tell me .. why in Kies I am receiving the message: This version of software can`t be upgraded .. or something like this ...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mikeeo019:
Because there is no official update for your region or carrier. Just use odin to update ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] AsafteiLaurentiu:
And when will be I will be able to update ... ? :)

Right now if you want to. Theres already a thread on how to flash roms with odin. Reading strongly recommended :rolleyes:

Just read the guide. There's damn step by step instructions.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] AsafteiLaurentiu:

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Blumdum:
then connect ur device with kies and wait for an update :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mikeeo019:
The ROMs here are similar to those updated via Kies. Maybe some applications can be different. I mean it can take quite long to get a regional update. If you're worried about your warranty, just take a backup of your current system.

This seems to be a big secret. What I come up with is that it is:

2. Devices only come with 5 channels

3. Shamless money making scheme by the provider

Other than that I'm lost, and can't seem to find a solid answer anywhere. I figured if anyone would know it would be someone in this forum. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The latest Samsung build I tried was KI4; excellent firmware and is leaps and bounds above the Bell firmware in every aspect. There are newer 2.3.5 builds, but I'm not on a Samsung based ROM currently.

Firmware thread.

Search Original Android Dev for the latest/greatest firmware; it changes rapidly.

I wouldn't worry about updating your firmware via Kies if you're on Bell; you may NEVER see an update.
[Galaxy S II General] mathsmart:
thanks for your fast reply guys !

but I dont understand why everyone tell (you must check your cell version like KG2 ,KG3 etc.. and its must be the same) and you guys running very different think as we should in North america ? like some guys running poland version ?

if I download the same version as your will it fit with my phone since I just posted all the infos of my phone right here ?

Ive tried to pu a different modem in the phone section of odin and clicked on start and its just freezed so I was like SHHHHHHHIT did I just broke it so its ok I was able to fix it right after !

I suppose I should not just one file in PDA but in all the 3 right ? and all the 3 MUST be the same right ?

im so sorry IM A NOOB! but there are toooo much informations everywhere and I dont want to **** my 599$phone with one simple click lol since BELL dont give a ....of there customers !
[Galaxy S II General] mudferret:
Read and research some more until you're comfortable. You only have to worry about matching kernel to firmware if you're doing a simple root, and retaining your current firmware. I've run 3 or 4 of the XXK_ _ firmwares, which are all Euro specific. No issues whatsoever.

Bell would likely tell you to pound sand if you tried to get warranty work done however, despite the fact you would have an official Samsung firmware (but not Bell's firmware).

When/if you flash a non-Bell firmware follow the instructions in the thread I linked to the letter, and yes, PDA is all you need, it has CSC, kernel, etc... in it.

You can then track down a CF-Root kernel for that firmware.

When you first setup the connection between the car and the phone, a request for access to the phonebook comes up in the drop down menu. If you do not accept that request then it will only show numbers.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] shawnj0:
I just placed an order yesterday for this new phone.

This will be my first android, giving the iPhone 4 that I currently use to my little sister.

Specs seem decent:

1.2GHz Dual Core

4.5" qHD screen

1GB Ram

8MP 1080p camera

1.3mp front facing camera

LTE Support also with HSPA+

I am really excited to get it, I played around with one at the cell shop here in canada.

I liked it's design over the Samsung Galaxy S II, not sure if I made a mistake ordering this phone though.

Anyone have this or are getting it?

I have no idea how to overclock and/or root (or even what I could do with a rooted phone for that matter lol)

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
He just answered your concern "not being sure if you made the right decision" between this and SGS2. Most of the stuff posted under Vivid forums about HTC Vivid is ok, that means no problems with the device, therefore you made a good choise. There are many threads opened on this regard, so there's enough opinion for you to read. I've played with both SGS2 and Vivid, and the Vivid was the winner for me even over the Skyrocket.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
You haven't made a mistake in ordering it. I had a Captivate and, for a day, the Skyrocket before moving on to the Vivid. A piece of paper is built better than the Skyrocket, or just about any plastic-laden Samsung for that matter. You will not be disappointed. Coming from an iPhone 4, you won't see that much of an improvement going from a Retina screen to the 4.5" qHD one on the Holiday (Vivid/Raider), but the resolution is there and it's very pleasing.

Eventually, true root will be coming to this device. Just for reference, the processor is actually 1.5 GHz but is underclocked to 1.2 for better battery life.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] shawnj0:
Amazing. Now all I can do is wait for it to be shipped to me.

I've heard good things about it, and some not so good things.

I did (while playing at a bell store) prefer its design over the SGS2.

It was so cool and I hope to eventually root and clock it back to 1.5 ghz.

This will be my first android, and from what it seems, spec wise it blows the iPhone 4 out of the water

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
It is possible to temp root a device.

So... the device would be rooted for a short time while I altered the files, and would then be restored upon reboot, keeping the modifications?

Not 100% what you mean but if you want to have a clean install of a rom then all you have to do is boot to recovery, do a wipe factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic, and if you really want to have a clean install then format your sd card too.

If this isn't what you mean and you want to return to stock then there is a thread in the Development section explaining how, however i have not been able to remove s-off from my device.

I don't think HTC will accept this so did i do something wrong? Or is this it? If the bootloader reads s-off then i can only assume that they will return it to me, making me very sad :(

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Have you tried playing with the connectors when you take the back off the phone?

With the flyhoney Rom and perhaps other custom roms there is some sort of ad blocker installed. So what I did was install a app from the market called adfree.
