Yes the script does definitely work on alpha7

I'm not a dev, but one thing that could be possible why you can't use it:

Do you have set the script as "run as root" and do you have rooted your device?

(I had the problem that i flashed alpha7 from alpha6 and just flashed the rom + kernel but not the superuser, so i still had the superuser app and the programs that had su rights before flashing still had them afterwards, but when i wanted to use a new app with su rights it would not ask for permission and said permission denied -> just flashed the superuser zip and everything was working again)

When the scriptmanager runs the script their should be a message like:

"scriptmanager got su rights" or something like that, don't have an english version...

Hey guys

since nobody replied to these questions yet I'm bringing them up again:

1. I read that WLAN in ICS has the capability to connect to adhoc-networks:

I tried but i can't find my set-up network, so is it possible and I'm doing something wrong or is it just not possible in this state of development? (Although: the rest of the wlan stuff is working great, better than ever )

2. As far as i know ICS has the driver for USB OTG, so has anybody tried to use the Host Mode on I9000?

I read a lot about it but not a really sure answer if the hardware of the galaxy can do OTG or not (although the used chip seems to be capable of the host mode, but i dunnot know about the supply for connected devices...)

would be nice to get an answer ;)

Hi all, I'm a complete n00b on ICS flashing scene.

I went throught this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19563068#post19563068 guide but it's written that I would need a custom kernel on my phone to start with.

But, currently I have the official gingerbread(updated through kies) on my SGS.

Current config is :

Model no. :
GT-I9000

Firmware ver. :
2.3.3

Baseband ver. :
I9000NEJV5

Kernel ver. :
2.6.35.7-I9000NEJVD-CL183009
root@DELL103#2

Build no. :
GINGERBREAD.NEJVD

Kindly guide me further on how to and which custom kernel to install to get started with the ICS installation.

Hey,

i installed ICS from samfirmwares 2.3.5 XXJVT

http://androidflip.com/how-to-insta...ad-xxjvt-update-on-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000/

on this link you will find the files to download and a "how to"

I think you also have to root to get the CWM Recovery mode (someone correct me if I'm wrong about this), just do it, it is really easy and the "how to" is very good

Be sure to unlock your simcard before flashing ICS (not sure if it can be done in ICS, never tried...)

If you have done this all just follow the installation guide from ybinnenweg

http://xdaforums.com/show...8#post19563068

Oh, and you have to install the alpha7 rom+kernel twice, since you get a newer version of the CWM (it will change from a orange to a blue one, so don't be afraid when you are stucked at the fugumode bootscreen, you have to pull out the battery and flash again in CWM Recovery Mode)

Their be other custom roms from which you can install ICS but this one worked for me, so just give it a try...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skitpt:
This is weird. I flashed it but didn't apply the 3g fix. Everything else worked. I just wanted to try ICS really.

But after flashing MIUI back I can't (randomly) make class or use 3g?! I've already gone back to flashing JVR with Odin (MODEM, PDA & all) and it's the same?

And by randomly I mean most of the time. Sometimes after a cold boot I can make calls but once I try to use 3g it's gone and every time I try to make a call all I hear is static!

Any ideas please? I have no idea what else I can "reflash" to go back to a fully functional ROM!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
Did you check "repartition" and use the 512 pit-file when flashing JVT? You know, it's not a "full flash" or "full factory wipe" unless you do repartition ;)

Mind you, just checking. I've never had an issue which I couldn't recover from by going back to via Odin + repartition. It sounds weird if such a thing should exist.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juxli125:
i had the same problem with the kernel (kies) first, so i couldnt bring cwm to work. after i followed this steps it worked:

1. If you have no Custom Rom installed, you first need to flash an Custom Rom (I used this one) and a Kernel to your Device via Odin to get Root and CWM.

1. If you have a custom rom, just download the Dark Core Kernel

2. after this, just follow this steps here

Worked fine for me :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
Technically speaking the only thing you need is a custom kernel with CWM. No need for a full custom ROM.

Hey,

everything works as promised, except I can't see data on my external sd card when I want to select my music folder for poweramp.

I have found a possible solution, but the steps are to big for me to understand. Could somebody clarify me these steps below?

For those with an empty /sdcard/external_sd do this:

1. statup a shell (connectbot/android terminal or adb)

2. do: su

3. type or copy/paste: busybox mount --bind /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

EDIT:

to keep this setting on boot:

1. Unpack attached file attached

2. copy/paste/push file (21mount_sd) to /etc/init.d/ (keep the file name)

3. set permissions of the file to rwxr-x--- (chmod 740)

4. goto script manager (or download it first)

5. set it in script manager as: run as root and run on boot (2nd row of icons, icon 2 and 3 from the left)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
This is basic Linux-stuff and the only way to get this done "simpler" is if someone packages the automatic solution as a CWM-flashable file.

In the absence of that, you just need to follow the instructions provided. If that is too much for you, then maybe you should wait until this ICS build enters "beta" instead of using the alpha.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harshshah0589:
Hey thanks for the reply !! :)

But, one major issue with my SGS is that the recovery and download modes seem to be disabled from the beginning(since I bought this phone when it was on 2.1 Eclair). So, I have not installed custom kernel/firmware till now. I have updated only official 2.1 -> 2.2 -> 2.3 through kies.

I have read of a method where we can flash the bootloader with the modified SBL file to enable the 3 button combos for download and recovery mode. Is it safe on my current firware and kernel ??

Will the USB jig work ?? But I wont be able to get into recovery mode with this right ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
Here you go:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...d-recovery-mode-in-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000/

No JIG required. Just ADB. Very easy, very quick. And then your SGS is unbrickable.

It doesn't even matter if the modified bootloader works with your current firmware. After all, with the 3-button combo fix in place, you have download-mode and can always flash any firmware :)

Just flash JVT modem in CWM and you're done
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuddyJoe83:
I encountered a little flaw in music player, but I'm mentioning a workaround:

If you copy new music files to your SGS (I put em in my Internal SD card to avoid problems), the music player that comes with Alpha7 might not recognize them at first.

1) Cut/paste them all (through Astro or w/e file manager) to another folder on your card.

2) Open music player, you see all your transferred files but playing them generates an error.

3) move them back to your original folder and open music player again, voilá.

I am not saying this is THE way to do it, it just works for me and thought I'd share that :)

If your baseband is unknown , try to flash JVT modem (from the Cm7 modem and bootloaders thread) it worked for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
The CM installer (which is not related to this ROM) tries to identify if you are on a stock Samsung setup (with stock RFS partitions) or already running CM7 with MTD-partitions. Basically if your device is a "galaxys" device or a "galaxysmtd" device.

I'm guessing this is where the CM-installer fails after running this ROM. It simply does not understand what partition-structure and ROM version you have.

It sounds like the easiest way to get back to CM is either through a nandroid backup or just to flash stock via Odin and then flashing CM from there.

Root seems to work fine, the enable3g script is present, and when I turn wifi off and on, I get a notification that the script manager has been granted root access, so I assume that is working as it should.

Perhaps it's an APN settings issue - it seems APNs were added for virgin media and t-mobile on install. The t-mobile one looks okay, but maybe there's an error or some bad data in it. I'll try replacing it.
