[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riaztheboss007:
I flashed my Galaxy S i9000 from my 2.1 stock rom to 2.3.4 XXJVP using ODIN. All the PDA, CSC and Modem files of XXJVP was with the extension .md5

I suppose these are .tar files compressed as .md5.

But when I tried to flash another rom 2.3.5 XXJVS, in which the files were provided as .tar format...I couldn't flash. The process got stuck at this point in ODIN:

Odin v.3 engine (ID:12)..

File analysis..

SetupConnection..

I waited about 20 minutes and it stayed like that. So, I had to disconnect the phone cable and soft brick it. Then, I got into download mode and reflashed it using my previous 2.3.4 XXJVP .md5 files and it worked without any problem.

Then again I tried to flash just kernel/root/install CWM with .tar files but everytime I tried this...ODIN stuck all the same in "Setup Connection" And I had to reflash with .md5...

So, can anyone tell me why ODIN (tried every version..from 1.2 to 1.85) is detecting only .md5 files not the .tar ones? And how can I make .tar files work? Because most kernel/rooting files come with the extension .tar.

Moreover, I loaded both .md5 and .tar files in my ODIN and pressed start without connecting my phone and they showed the following message:

For .md5

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> CODE_I9000XXJVP_CL264642_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> MODEM_I9000XXJVP_REV_00_CL1019177.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVP.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

For .tar

I'm using Windows 7 32bit...Please help anyone!

Use pit file and it should work
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riaztheboss007:
thanx for the answer...but hey! do I have to use pit file for installing CWM too?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themate1987:
No if you are flashing only kernel put kernel file in pda without re-partition and no pit file and flash
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riaztheboss007:
but this is actually where I'm stuck. all kernel files come as .tar not .md5 files. and .tar files are not working at all for me. can you please compress a .tar file as .md5 for me? shall I attach the file?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themate1987:
it must work as tar, Try this odin. Just unpack it and run it. If it doesn't work try running as administrator if you are on win7 or vista

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riaztheboss007:

still the .tar seems to create a lot of problem for me. I suceeded after 3-4 soft brick and reflashes. For later use, can you please compress the attached .tar file to .md5 for me? that will be much appriciated.

Okay so i am happy with my samsung note.

the only problem i have is that when ever i am logged into Gtalk with my data..the push doesn't work perfectly.

With WIFI it works perfects.

anyone else experiencing this problem?

Everything else works perfect with my data except Google talk.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] schaggo:
What do you mean with push isnt working? GMail push or basically that Talk doesnt work the way its supposed to? As in, its not really connected to the network?

I ask that stupid because I, my sister, a friend of mine and my GF all suffer from Talk connectivity problems since a while. We all connect to Talk using our Google Apps account, we are all on the same network and it works for all of us on WLAN but not via the mobile network. Basically, whenever we turn on our phone and check Talk, the contactlist will turn all gray, Talk will go offline and eventually reconnect. If we left the phone in the middle of a conversation, the "lost connection (...) msg will be sent when connected"-banner appears.

When I first approachrled my provider with a Cyanogenmodded HTC in my hands ai got laughed at, but the laughter stopped this morning now that I rubbed the brand new totally stock and still not working Note in his face. The support case is open, the network specialists should get in touch with me by the end of the week, the guy said.

Edit: I forgot my bottomline: and I'm yet to find another one suffering the same problems which makes me not look so good, being the only one suffering from that and claiming its the network and not me ;-) Thats why I asked that dumb...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
This is an idea - but I'll admit, it's a risky one. I am only suggesting you think about this since your phone is a little borked anyway.

IF YOU ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL POSTER OF THIS THREAD, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS, DO NOT DO THIS.

Try downloading the Heimdall suite and running it. Once it's set up with drivers, go to this link and grab the "flashing gingerbread I9000 with reorient.rar" Unzip it, and you should see a bunch of files.

IF YOU ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL POSTER OF THIS THREAD, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS, DO NOT DO THIS.

Then, open the "Heimdall Frontend", and go to the flash tab. Under "PIT", hit browse and choose the "s1_odin_20100512.pit" file. After that's loaded, click "repartition", then by "Partition name" choose the appropriate option (for example, choose "modem", then below it, browse to the "modem_ugjk4.zip" file), then click "add" below the "paritions (Files)" box. Do this for at least one thing (all of them if you're feeling lucky), except do not do the bootloaders.

IF YOU ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL POSTER OF THIS THREAD, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS, DO NOT DO THIS.

Once you have it loaded up, boot into download mode (assuming you can get there) and click "start" and see if it works.

IF YOU ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL POSTER OF THIS THREAD, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS, DO NOT DO THIS.

Again, a long, risky shot, but it might be worth a try.

You can probably also modify these instructions to the full version of Odin.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shopealope:
Ill give a shot, the phone is already screwed anyways haha. As long as no bootloaders are involved it should be fine. Ill let you know what happens.

Sent from my Cappy of Power
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
My thinking as well. I'm hoping that doing a full set of individual files, with repartition checked, on a different flashing utility will set up your /dev/block folder properly again.

On a side note, I looked at my /dev/block folder, and also a /dev/block folder on the AVD under the Android SDK, and your setup looks really similar to the SDK version.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shopealope:
Yeah it seems Odin just isn't doing it for me. I've heard loads of good things about heimdall so ill definitely give it a shot. That's strange about the sdk thing though, I don't know what this phone was running when I bought it because it wasn't working. Right now its running (well hopefully running at some point) kf1.

Sent from my Cappy of Power
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shopealope:
well i tried it and still nothing :/ same old boot loop. im really running out of ideas.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
The only other thing I can think (and it's a really long shot) is if someone with more Linux/Android experience than me could figure out a way for you to:

1. Make an image of a functional /dev/block folder (I tried yesterday to pull the /dev/block off my own device, but no dice)

2. Unmount wherever /dev/block is mounted to (or whatever is needed to allow it to be overwritten),

3. Push that functional image to the /dev/block directory.

Just out of curiousity, what happened when you tried to use Heimdall? Did it say "failed", or just not push, or show success but really fail, etc., etc.?

Also, I know you got this to resell - have you considered Unbrickable Modding it? That would pretty much guarantee you could fix this issue, but it would also mean sinking some more money and/or time into it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shopealope:
Well I ended up just reselling it but yes, if this ever happened to my personal captivate I would definitely get the unbrickable mod. Thanks for all the help!

Hi guys,

I have a chance to get Defy really cheap, but the thing is that it wont turn on.

Owner said this in advert: "after update from 2.2 to 2.3 phone wont turn on. But PC reads phone normally trough USB"

Can anything be done to wake up the phone and get it to work normally? Would really like to try Defy

More info soon
[Defy General] farsight73:
It should be no problem bringing back the dead Defy to life again. As this is the case of soft bricked where you definitely will find a solution for it.

As the above problem, a few try might just sufficient to boot back the Defy.

1) Try boot into stock recovery and do wipe/reset.

2) Reflash again the Defy to any 2.3 files as some file might got corrupted during the downloading.

3) Use another PC to flash as some PC having driver error or corrupted driver.

4) Use another version of Rsdlite to flash.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platypuss94:
im sure everyone knows that the mt4gs vibration is a bit excessive. is there any way we can get a mod to lower the intensity?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
My guess would be no.

The only thing that could change the intensity of the vibration would be the alter the voltage to the vibrator motor. (If you're not aware, all the vibrator is is a little motor with an off balance thing on the end)

If you give it 12v (or 5V, whatever the case may be) its going to vibrate the same amount every time.

What I think controls the motor is just a simple switch that allows power to flow to the motor or not. I don't think that switch is adjustable in a way that would allow it to alter the voltage going to the motor.

I could be wrong. But I don't think I am.

Now, what you could do is make something that turned that switch on and off really fast so that the vibrator motor got small pulses of power instead of a steady flow. That MIGHT keep it from ever getting up to full speed and result in lowering the intensity of the vibration. But it might back fire too. Vibration and oscillation are a quirky thing. Some more power could make it more intense while a lot more power could smooth it out. Conversely a little less power could make it more noticeable and a lot less power could make it less noticeable.

Think of your car. At idle speeds the engine might shake, but at highway speeds it might run smooth. But at 30 mph it might shake more than stopped or 60mph.

In other words....if it could be done it would be a work around. And there's no telling how well the work around would work.
