[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
From what I've read ROM Manager is a no-no on this model phone. I dunno why, but I've read that on a few threads.

Let me know if you're able to install Heimdall and the open source drivers that come with it. If you can, you can get into download mode, and it sees the phone, then you can try the One Clicks or even just flash the boot loaders from a ROM that contains them.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
I will try when i go home tonight.

just an fyi every time i plug in my phone, it does not show up on my computer. i have tried using debugging mode and mass storage and neither work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Ugh...well let's hope for the best. I would uninstall any drivers and programs like Kies you have installed first, then install the Heimdall drivers. Let me know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
so i uninstalled drivers executed Heimdall and put phone in download mode with dongle. the computer still did not detect phone, however i got my replacement SGS4 today put it in download mode and it was detected immediately.

I dont know what else I can do do get the phone detected or fix the boot loader to get into recovery
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crtjstr:
Maybe I'm missing something. How are you switching between debugging mode and mass media if you can't boot the phone?

The way I understood the problem, you would get to the SgS logo screen during boot, then the whole screen would be covered by the rainbow effect, which renders the screen unreadable, nd thus the phone unusable. Is that correct, or is the problem different?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
the rainbow screen happens right after the SGS Logo then fades out once the lock screen comes on.

it also shows up once I try to get into recovery but from that point I cannot see anything and have to reboot.

Phone works after fully booted

both debugging and mass storage have been tried
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
You need to flash the "GINGERBREAD" bootloaders. This issue is 100% caused by froyo bootloaders. Once you obtain the GINGERBREAD bootloader, there is a 100% chance that the issue will go away. Flash THISTHIS/download. in heimdall. Get into recovery, then flash a rom of your choice.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Yeah, we've been trying to get him to that point. The problem is he can't get his computer to recognize the phone at all. He's unisntalled & reinstalled drivers, tried the drivers that came with Heimdall, but no dice.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
Thank you for the help. The only issue is I cannot get into recovery nor can I get my computer to see my phone. Any advice on how I can get my computer to find my phone would be greatly appreciated.

As mentioned previously the new sgs4g I just received mounts perfectly on my computer the one in question only charges.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
If I understood correctly from re-reading through the posts, the phone DOES eventually boot up and is usable, correct?

If so, do me a favor. Go into the Market, download an app called Quick Boot. After it's installed, open it and select "Recovery". See if that'll get you into recovery mode without seeing the rainbow effect. If so, we'll have to get a ROM onto your SD card and flash from there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
just tried and it did the same thing. here is an image i took with another camera of my recovery menu
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Bummer. I was hopeful. I wonder if recovery is running in the background but you just can't see it? You could test it by rebooting into recovery like before, then pressing the power key once. The first menu option is to reboot the phone so if it's working then the phone should reboot.

I meant to ask...did you have CWM recovery installed? If so & if the above steps work, and if we can get a ROM onto your sdcard, I can try to walk you through blindly flashing it via recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
Yeah I have CWM installed and have it running according to Krylons instructions. So I would love to give that a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Do you have a way to get this onto your sd card: RaverX3X's Kj6-Rom-CWM-Offical-GB-2.3.6?

If so, put it on the root of the sdcard. Important: Make sure it's the only file at the root of the card, else we won't know exactly how to scroll to it. Then:

Reboot the phone into recovery mode

The recovery screen menu has these options:

Reboot system now

Apply update from sdcard

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

[*]install zip from sdcard

backup and restore

mounts and storage

advanced

voodoo lagfix

power off

+++++Go Back+++++

Press the Volume Down key 5 times to get to the Install zip from sdcard option

Press the Power key to get to the "Apply update from .zip file on SD card" menu

The "Apply update from .zip file on SD card" has these options:

[*]choose zip from sdcard

apply /sdcard/update.zip

toggle signature verification

toggle script asserts

+++++Go Back+++++

Press the Power key to select the "choose zip from sdcard" option

Press the Volume Up key twice and that should have it over the ROM you downloaded

Press the Power key to select that ROM and enter the "Confirm Install?" menu

Press the Volume Up key 5 times to get the "Yes - Install" option

Press the Power key to install the ROM

Give it a minute or two & see if it reboots itself. If not we should still be in the CWM recovery menus so:

Press the Volume Up key once to highlight the "+++++Go Back+++++" option

Press the Power key

Press the Power key again to reboot the phone

Let me know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
if i am using Root Explorer where exactly should i place this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I've never used Root Explorer. I assume it allows you to see your whole file system. If that's the case, put it in /sdcard/
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
my phone now seems to be stuck in an endless Galaxy S 4G Boot Loop.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Believe it or not, that's good progress. I've had the same problem before. Do this:

Shut the phone down.

Hold down VOL UP, VOL DOWN, & the Power button

When you see the Galaxy S4G screen come on, wait for it to look a bit brighter, then only let go of the Power button

Wait a few moments and you should be in recovery. From there, all you should have to do is select Reboot.

I don't know why that works, but it's worked for me every time I've flashed that KJ6 ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
nope not working. cannot get out of boot loop :/
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
Stephen, so I don't ef up my new replacement phone like my old one can you point me to directions from start to finish on what to do. I fear that I know enough to be dangerous again and Id rather be able to not mess up the boot loaders and have a nice running gingerbread rom.

Thanks

Also If I cannot get my other phone fixed do you know of anyone that would buy it off me bricked the way it is? I got it at the beginning of Feb

I would still like to work on getting it running so if you have any other suggestions I am all ears. I really appreciate your help!!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crtjstr:
Honestly? No idea. I'd rather see you get it working and unlocked, then pt it on Ebay. You'll get more for it that way.

Though if you want to sell it cheap so i can fix it and sell it at profit, let me know. :-) lol.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
It's not entirely broken if it's only boot looping. I'm sure it could be fixed if he can force it into download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crtjstr:
Exactly. Sounds like he can. I hope so. Should be an easy fixfor him.

Sent from above and beyond
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Yeah, the boot loop started after we got Raver's CWM-based KJ6 installed. I had the boot loop problem with his ODIN version, too, but I was able to get out of it by going into recovery and just selecting reboot.

Come to think of it, I might've gone into recovery & performed a factory data reset to get out of the boot loops. Rozzko, can you give that a shot?

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

No worries. Take a look @ FB's signature. His GB Starter Pack is a good place to start. There's also a sticky thread in the developer's section for the Bible. It's rife with good stuff.

Take a look at my post just above this one. Hopefully it will help. The sheer fact that you're not getting the rainbow screen is a good thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
i have used a dongle to get into download mode and odin does not find it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Definitely give the factory data reset a try. Not only might it let the phone boot into KJ6, it might help with the non-recognized USB thing. I believe I read on another thread where it fixed that issue for someone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
any idea how since it is in a boot loop that i cant get out of? the only thing i can do is get it into forced download mode but it my computer still cannot read it so I believe I am stuck at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Power the phone down. You might have to remove the battery to do that when you're stuck in the boot loop. Then:

Hold down volume up & volume down

Continue holding them and also hold down the power key

When the Galaxy S 4G screen comes on, wait for it to look a tad brighter (takes a second or two) then release only then power button. Continue to hold the volume keys until the recovery menu appears.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
still cannot get out of bootloop. i am thinking of selling for 100-150 since it is pretty much brand new.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Let's try (if you're willing) this:

- Put the phone into download mode

-- Power the phone off

-- Remove the battery

-- Plug in the USB cable

-- Hold down the volume up & down buttons at the same time

-- Insert the battery

-- Release the volume up & down buttons

- Go to bhundven's The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection

-- Download the SMS KJ6 (beta2d) Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders

-- Open a command prompt and use the 'cd' command to go to the directory where you downloaded the SMS KJ6 (beta2d) Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders

-- Issue the command from bhundven's page referenced above:

-- java -jar SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click.jar

-- click the FLASH button

-- Let the phone do it's thing. It should reboot itself.

-- Run the 'java -jar SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click.jar' command again

-- This time check "Flash Bootloaders" and click the FLASH button again

Then go thank bhundven on this one-click page. I've used it a few times now and it rocks.

Let me know how it goes :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
Stephen, I am guessing due to the fact I cannot get any computer to recognize my phone, this might prove to not work. I will give it a shot thought thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
D'oh, I totally forgot about that part. My bad, man. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
Still no download mode after quick boot? You could a different cable to use? seen that a few times..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
You have two devices? One that is recognized and one that is not? One device it's functional and the other is essentially soft bricked? you say you tried heimdall? If so which device did you use to install the drivers?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
tried diff cables and diff computers :-/
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Yeah, I remember now. Forgot about you not being able to get the computer to recognize it.

Can you get into recovery if you:

- Power off the phone

- Hold down volume up & volume down

- Press and hold the power button while still holding the volume buttons

- Release the power button when the "Galaxy S" screen gets a little brighter, but continue to hold the volume buttons
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Unless you have a froyo ROM on your sd card recovery wont really help and it looks like attempting anything in recovery, which you can not see, has made your device worse than before. You need to get a computer to recognize it. I am trying to figure out your current state could you answer the questions in my previous post?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
could never get the phone to work

does anyone want to buy it off me and see if they can make it work?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FidoCappy:
Hi All,

I've been researching for quite some time now on a compatible modem for the i896 in Toronto area. I'm on Sparko KK4 rom with a KH2 modem. I've tried many GB modems(KJ1, KJ2, KJ3, KH1 etc..) but all result in my cappy having to be set to data roaming in order to get data to work. So far only the KH2 works since it's made for the i896.

Does anyone know of a compatible modem for the i896 running a GB rom? The kh2 gets poor cell and wifi signal.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
what rom are you using?are your APN settings correct?

give more info about your problem, usually helps. dont think its your modem
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FidoCappy:
My data works and apn settings are correct as per the Fido apn settings. Since I started using GB roms, my wifi and cell signal have become poor. I'm with Fido in Canada. I used to get full cell signal and wifi signal at home and now it averages 2-3 bars of signal.

So I'm trying to test different modems because when I was on stock froyo I always had full signal(cell and wifi). But when I try different GB modems, cell works but data will only work if I enable roaming with any other modem than KH2.

Dude don't download any HD you games you find on the net your just wasting your time if you download any HD games you find. If your going to download any HD games it must be in QVGA resolution. Try searching it on google ex. "HD QVGA games for android" or anything like that.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] asfagus:
hey thx for ur comment but i dint understand " you can use search function and flash the OC kernel by Sqaudzone"

then also ill search for it

it would be better if u developers would make a page to help overclocking galaxy fits in a step by step manner
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] tintinp9:
In order to OC your fit you will need clock work recovery mod (cwm) and Cyanogen mod ROM and installed in your fit. If you don't have them get them installed. You will get cwm from : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1339640

Follw the instructions given there to get cwm installed.

Then get the latest CM7 rom from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1382461. Try the link for rc3 it's very stable.Install it in your fit by following the steps given there.In order to reboot to recovery you could just turn off your device. Then turn on by pressing home button and power button combination for a while.

Once installed you are ready to OC .

In order to have google apps (market, gmail etc) you will have to download and install them. The link for them is given there. Go to the link. Select the universal link for cm7. Download it and flash it.( Copy the zip file to SD card. Then reboot to recovery( just press power button and then tap reboot it will then show an option for recovery). In recovery select "install zip from sd card" and then "choose zip from sd card" and then select the zip that you copied for google apps. and press 'yes'. By the way, In order to select an option in recovery use volume up and down button and home button).

Get the OC kernel from : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1333883 Use the 3rd link that is for OC upto 801MHz. Then flash it via cwm. Once the kernel is installed install no-frills cpu control app from market. (or you can get it from the link given by squadzone in his post right below the OC kernel mediafire link). Then use it to select your desired frequency.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] asfagus:
thx for d steps tintin but does this really make it work with the speed of a 801 mhz? i had rooted my fone and in cwm i checked other devices cos mine was not showing suddenly it bricked and had to go to service centre to change my motherboard.. im hesitating if again in d rooting process if i make a mistake den it will brick again...
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] tintinp9:
It worked fine for me. You just have to follow the instructions laid down by the developers. You won't have to root your device . When installing CM7 you get your fit rooted automatically.

And it pays to be cautious. Just follow what the developers say in their posts. It's actually pretty easy. I have done these many times in my fit.
