It's OS-agnostic because it uses Java. You can execute that command on Windows, Linux, or MAC OS. I also want to say that you can double-click it from Windows and/or MAC and it will execute. I have not tried that method.

If you want to see if Java is installed (I don't know MACs) open a terminal and issue the command: java -version

It should return the version of Java you have installed, if it's there.

The one-click kernels are not available on the market; you'll have to grab 'em from here :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
hmm ok.. i think i'm going a bit over my head on this...

Basically all I want to do is to install a custom ROM on my phone. I dont really know all the terms bootloaders and kernals and the like (the one click on the VIbrant was super easy.. just plug and play..)..

But I don t want to download the wrong thing and brick my phone either..

So a couple of questions:

1. So on the link, which one am i supposed to download?

2. As per instructions on the link, do I type the commands in the terminal window? And if so does it download automatically into my phone?

thanks man
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
one click noob guide

Get the kj6 beta 2d file. It includes root and a custom kernel with cwm (this is what you need to flash a custom ROM).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Jar files are executable Java ARchive files. If you have the latest Java installed just Double click a jar file to run

do I have Java?

No need for command line :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
Hey I think this was one of the problems I was having with Heimdall.. some files are missing or I can't find them:

On 4B (on your instructions page) it says "Open the unziped heimdall folder then open the the "drivers" folder and run (double click) the "zadig" application"

But there is no "drivers" folder (I downloaded Heimdall Suite 1.3.1 (Binaries) from the glassenchida site)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
My guide is for windows installation. if you did it right you got the Mac version. It sounds like you already un zipped it so Try putting your device in download mode and opening the one click you downloaded or heimdall front end. It should auto install drivers or prompt you with on screen instructions to do so (if not drivers whatever Mac calls them).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
ok.. i think (hope) i'm doing it.. i've got it connected to heimdall 1click 1.3.1 and it seems to be doing something, but i'm not quite sure.. theres no status bar, but the wheel on the bottom right is spinning..

its been going for a bit now, like 7 min. how long is it supposed to take?

btw, I had the app open before I put the phone into download mode. then i clicked "detail", then "flash" on the app
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
it says:

Initialising connection...

Detecting device...

Claiming interface...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Your just running the one click not heimdall front end right?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
um.. yes. i'im running "Heimdall One Click 1.3.1"
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
nothing was happening so i clicked on "Detail" and i see:

Claiming interface... ERROR: Claiming interface failed!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
ah.. should "Flash Bootloaders" be checked?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Can you post a screen shot of your Mac screen with the one click open?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
not if you already have Android v 2.3.6
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
ok.. hows this look?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
in "About this phone" is says:

Firmare 2.2.1

Baseband ver: T959VUVKD1

Kernel Ver: 2.6.32.9

Build: FROYO.VUVKD1
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
:) after your failed flash does your phone still boot?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
yes its working...

should I have "Flash Bootloaders" checked?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Yes, but I'm hoping you would be so kind as to let me walk you through a system dump of that stock firmware before you upgrade :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
ok. lets do it...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Cool that he's going to let you do that. I'd love to know how to do that myself. Any chance you can provide me details on how it's accomplished?

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
well, once its posted its open for anyone to use..

this has been a HUGE pain in the ass.. to get this to work on a mac is like illegal or something... :eek::eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
i just received a pm stating that the package is already in production. I Was trying to alleviate some work from our awesome devs but i guess they got it covered :) thanks guys

get back into your one click package and flash your upgrade. If you cant check flash boot loaders the first time, flash as is then go ahead and check the boot loaders box and flash again.

@ stephen

you should check out this thread. There is a section about obtaining firmware from live devices using adb :)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
hey man, so i restarted the computer and tried flashing again, following instructions and had "flash bootloaders" checked on the 2nd runthru.. but I still get the same "Claiming interface failed" message
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Awesome. Thanks for the pointer!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
As I'm not familiar with Mac I can't ensure a fix. But after poking around for a fix I think it has to do with your kext (or driver as it is known on windows) I found a thread that may help. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1280482

Refer to post #15. Try deleting that file and re installing the "driver" then report back.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
YES!!

thats worked.. u are the ****ing MAN!!

ok. so for us mac folks trying to find their way in a pc dominated world.. download this:SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click

but first install this: heimdall-suite-1.3.1-mac

(i dont have the link, just google it)

if u are getting error messages, delete system> lib> ext> heimdall.kext

empty trash, then restart.

install heimdall-suite-1.3.1-mac again, it should work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
So is the phone now rooted?

Do i need to download one click lag fix or anything from market?

Can i add a custom rom to it?

thx!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Sweet bro. Glad you got it. Now you have the experience to recover from a soft brick too. Heimdall one clicks are a great multi purpose tool ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
From your device get root check

But don't keep it.

Get voodoo to enable lag fix (requires reboot).

Boot into cwm recovery to flash stuff

Device off hold Vol +, Vol-, power.

Read before you flash anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
like i said.. u da man!

ok so i've been checking out these differnt roms.. and upon first glance, it seems that octane v3.0 is the way to go.. so basically, i download it, put it into my sd card and then boot from cwm?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
uh oh.. might've gotten a bit too greedy..

i can't seem to boot into recovery mode.

Whenver i try to, the screen pixilates and gets stuck.. if i press the power button, the phone pixilates again, but it eventually reboots itself and is working..

how do i boot into recovery? (can't seem to do it via cwm either)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
No just went to fast. I bet you only flashed once and didn't flash a second time with the boot loaders box check. It's in my guide, step 5 or 6e I think ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
actually, ur right.. it was working and i just let it go.. but after the first time, the phone reboots and starts.. so should i just pull the battery out and repeat anyway?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
You will probably have to flash twice again. It will not allow you to flash boot loaders on your first try. This is a safety feature in attempts to ensure you are flashing the correct firmware for your device. Just make sure you leave the one click package open or it resets. If you have anymore questions read through my guide again, make sure you didn't miss anything and read the entire thread before asking as I have probably answered them in my thread already. Then bump my thread with your success story so other noobs can find it easily. It never hurts to click thanks either ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
def., man. i'd thank u more if i could.. so now i'm having this error message that says "PIT upload failed"

Btw read thru ur thread, but nothing on PIT files
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Just try again
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
hey man.. 7 times. same damn thing!!!!

dude. what a pain in the ass..

is there anything els i can do??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
in the window that lists where all the files are (in the heimdall one click 1.3.1 app) theres no actual location for the PIT file. is this something to be worried about?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
No the pit is in the one click. It is needed to package the one click in the first place in order to repartition for boot loader flashing. I have had the pit upload fail before as well. Usually trying again makes it work. Try the driver fix you used earlier. Again as I am unfamiliar with Mac I'm not sure but I think if your device rebooted while still plugged in, your Mac may have installed different drivers automatically.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
ok. will try that.. out of curiosity, do i need to install heimdall 1.3.1 and heimdall suite 1.3.1 before i use heimdall one click?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Let's hope it works

You should have installed heimdall suite yes. unfortunately my research has led to finding a bug with heimdall and lion osx 10.5 where people encountering the same problem using heimdall front end could only flash without re partitioning. What version of osx do you have? Do you have any access to a windows or Linux machine?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
no. Lion is 10.7, but i'm on snow leopard which is 10.6.8
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
yea, i tried what i did before (deleting the heimdall.kext (an extension in system library), and same thing as far as PIT file is missing
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
aarrhggghh.. i think my phone is now FULLY bricked.

I cannot get it to do anything. the only thing working are the 4 lights for the icons on the bottom of the phone.

i've been trying to solve this for freaking HOURS....

about to pull out all of my hair.

I've tried one click unbrick, all of the heimdall solutions.. NADA..

does anyone know what to do?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Can you get it into download mode by:

Pull out the battery

Plug the USB cable into the phone and computer

Hold down the Volume Up & Volume Down buttons

While holding the buttons, insert the battery
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Sorry the heimdall solution does not work for you :( looks like you flashed successfully with a parallel :) I updated my guide with a warning for Mac users based on your experience. Glad you got it going. Where there is a well there is a way.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
right on. thanks anyways man..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow_fox:
So I've been a pretty loyal user of CM7 for a while now..

I loaded up the Alpha 6 ICS rom to try it out..

It seems (could just be my perception) to run a lot faster/smoother.

I was just wondering if there would be a valid reason why? (better drivers maybe? kernel differences?) or is it just my perception?
[Droid Incredible General] ejkeebler:
Finally got bluetooth in my car stereo and reviewed some threads prior to posting, but not sure anyone asked / answered the question I have. I'm basically wondering how people are using their bluetooth stereo's. From what I can tell so far I have 2 options.

1. Phone pairs, i listen to my car stereo and if a phone call comes in the stereo picks up the call if i say, and upon completion back to my car stereo

2. Phone pairs, put the car into BT Audio mode and stream audio from my phone including phone calls.

The problem is, i'm looking for a way to combine both. For example I'd like to be able to listen to my car stereo, and if i get a notification i hear it over the radio, not just phone calls. I haven't tried yet, but i'm guessing the nav will be the same way, if i'm listening to the stereo and running nav on my phone i will get no turn by turn like i would if i was listening to music on my phone and running nav.

Is there a way to do this? Am I missing something? I have the Sony Xplōd™ MEX-BT3900U. Is this a limitation of my stereo, or just not how most people use their bluetooth?
[Droid Incredible General] cykotix:
I just ordered a replacement radio as well with BT support. I'd be curious wth what other people have to say with experience as well.
[Droid Incredible General] gadzooks64:
I use this all the time.

Both options will work provided the head unit you bought supports media streaming.

Your phone will connect both phone and media over Bluetooth. You listen to your media and if a call comes in you can take it while the media is paused. Media will resume after call completed.

Notifications and navigation will pause and resume media as needed.

[Droid Incredible General] BenHolliday:
I've found the quality of the audio over bluetooth to be very degraded. Have a rear AUX 1/8th port and run a cable to mount, Then use BT headset for all if need be, but have Pandora playing Excision & Downlink radio the entire time :)
[HD2 General] cappyandroid:
Hi,

I used to have HTC Inspire for AT&T but can't afford to pay $40 for data. Is it still worth it to use an unlocked Leo as a daily driver? I love the look of the phone, pretty similar to the Inspire, but I don't know if the specs are good enough to smoothly run Sense. Is it worth it?
[HD2 General] Cjovecje!:
Do u want fancy phone or dragon phone? :-)

Yes it can run sense smoothly ( Up to Sense 2. 1 cause in my experience 3. 0+ is slow om htc.:-) )
[HD2 General] zimasha:
Sense runs very smooth on HD2.. The good thing about this phone is that it is fully customizable with hundreds of custom ROMS from winmo, android and wp7.. You can even install all 3 of them on the same device!!
[HD2 General] scariola:
Question is. If its for att, why would you want 2g vs 3g speeds. Hd2 will only get edge on att.
[HD2 General] ferincr:
Not if you have the T9193...I used my T9193 while in the US with AT&T and got 3G while in their covered area.

[HTC EVO 3D] Hiya Buddy:
Im a noob to this, but I was having some trouble with Smokin1337's Sick Sense vX.1 rom on my EVO 3D. My trouble was the battery was draining 1% a minute (while using the device) and camera stopped working all of the sudden. I click into either camera or camcorder app or use the camera button shortcut and it just gives a blank (black) screen.

Unfortunately as a noob I cannot post in the Sick Sense thread so I have to refer to Q & A for help. Originally the superuser app I had installed, after installing Sick Sense, did not work properly. It kept force closing so I updated it via the market suggested by another user...forgot his name...too lazy to check...but it was my first post. Now my force closes of superuser have stopped but I still have some more problems.

For one, my phone reboots randomly while using this rom. As mentioned above, the camera does not function anymore. It used to work and now all of the sudden it stopped working and just gives me blank screen. Also, the battery drains quickly while in use literally 1% a minute and I'm not even using 4G. I just browse the web, I don't run any crazy programs that tax the battery or processor.

Originally I was just looking for a Sense Rom that is better than the Stock Sprint Rom. I just wanted a faster rom with no bloat and an excellent battery life seeing as on the commute to my university I take the subway and my phone switches between roaming and no signal. Also, the buildings at my university seem to be cell phone signal resistant. Sprint signal is scarce and data is slow and usually I'm roaming. The same happened with T-Mobile except there was no signal at all. Verizon and AT&T seem to be the kings of signal at my university because they work the best. Anyways, before I continue to ramble on is there any other ROM you guys at XDA would know that would best suit my needs. I've restored from my backup and phone is running good on Stock Sprint Rom for now.

Thanks For Your Time!

P.S. I've looked into some ROMS but seeing that I'm a noob I'm skeptical of nightly releases fearing that my phone would constantly restart or I would brick it. I'm somewhat interested in WTSB Hydro v2.4 but I'll take a Fast Sense ROM, but I don't really want to overclock because I'm not a power user. Currently, my Evo 3D has Hboot 1.5 because it was replacement unit from Asurion for a lost phone so its updated to the latest and greatest (lol we all know that sometimes isn't the best thing...)
[HTC EVO 3D] greeg32:
Sounds like clean rom is for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] jclendineng:
I agree...clean rom is the absolute best sense rom out their. Sick bat life, and fast as heck. I would also say miui if you like aosp...it has better bat life and is faster without sense, unless you like sense lol...but scott is a wonderful coder.
[HTC EVO 3D] Hiya Buddy:
Thanks for suggesting the clean ROMs. Anybody know if I can turn off camera sound in the rom??? Seeing as I'm a noob with less than 10 posts I can't post in the ROM forum so I have to seek out help in Q & A.

[HTC EVO 3D] Hiya Buddy:
Trying to figure out how to install a certain ROM. Don't remember the devs name...something along the lines of theAndroidosX anyways its the Olympus Trinity XE ROM with beats for the EVO 3D.

Since I got HBOOT 1.5 it says follow a certain method to root your phone/flash kernel or ROM. I can't do that method seeing as I already have Revolutionary. Seeing as I have revolutionary do I just follow flashing instructions of the ROM or do I have to use an alternative method because of HBOOT 1.5?

Any help would be appreciated!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
Steel rom is by far the best and most stable sense rom out there.

I mean from the built-in stock keyboard when entering text in a text box, there are no options to copy/paste. I know this was missing on the Nook Color, but I figured B&N would have gotten their act together to add that functionality.

To me, this is a bit of a biggie. Not worth returning the tablet, but certainly a major annoyance. I wonder if a keyboard swap will fix it.

I can confirm keyboard swap does not work I tried swype and used their shortcuts for copy paste and select all and it results in a force close. perhaps we can push a copy/paste app from AOSP gingerbread into system/app
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PlacidCat:
Not sure. I don't have the Nook Tablet yet - I hope to get one after Christmas. I only suggested the press and hold (or "long press") as that is what I've sometimes used on my phone. I still find that support for the function varies by app. Unlike Windows where "Ctrl-C" will generally allow you to copy any text that can be selected, Android doesn't seem to have similar functionality. (Then again, my phone is sitting at Froyo so I have no idea if Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich has better support across apps.)
