[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairozed:
Hey everyone, after a year of not caring about any mods or hacks for my galaxy s I thought that I should get one problem out of this world.

I am talking about the constantly flashing led buttons...so I stumbled upon BLN control which needed a special kernel, so I downloaded the promoted Kernel Flasher and the .tar file of the manual site of BLN (the site i was linked to via my mobilephone when opening BLN).

That tar file was called something with odin in it (not the "update" version). I used odin back in the days I remember...anyways, while in kernel flasher i inserted that tar file...and the kernel was installed, auto-reboot and since then it restarts on loops. Loads the desktop, checks for sd cards...you can scroll around a bit...then after 8 seconds it gets black and restarts.

I am really desperate here, because my exams are coming up and due to my carelessness I have this nasty problem to solve on top of that. Arghh...

There are some appz with important information in it (like notes), a clear swipe would be the absolute last resort here.:eek:

Can I recover my old kernel (didn't backup my old one), or replace/update with a new, working one? Through the recovery menue? :confused:

If you'd be so kind to step by step explain how it should be done? and I will cease any modding, hacking after this one. -_-

It is a rooted 2.3.3 Gingerbread kernel, as far as i can remember.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roundbelly:
Can you go to download mode ? if so flash the .tar file as pda in odin. MAKE SURE IT'S THE RIGHT KERNEL FOR YOUR DEVICE.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairozed:
Thanks for the tip.

This morning I played around with this bootlooping phenomenon a bit and found out, that when I immediately close any wlan or phone signal my phone works normal...just that I cannot phone anyone, or be phoned, or surf the net.

I manually did a backup of all my important files now, phew.

When using backup programs my phone resets immediately too.

Ok, long story short, I got my firmware, kernel info now, so you might be able to tell me which kernel, firmware would be appropriate for me (didn't update for a year now, so I am not on top of the news).

Kernel/file that screwed up my phone:

i9000_jvh_backlightNotification_v3.0_odin.tar

My actual Kernel Version:

2.6.35.7-i9000XWJVH-CL184813 michael@michael-desktop #51

Buildnumber:

Gingerbread.XWJVB

I am able to enter the download mode, but which . tar-file should I use in your opinion? What's a good one today?

Ah, I see the light, maybe I once again will be able to phone again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedo1987:
do you want to use a Samsung stock kernel or do you wanna give a try to Cyanogenmod stable or something like that?

Last time I saw samfirmware sites I saw that 2.3.6 was avaible for Europe...

Well... that's your choice!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairozed:
Will I be able to keep the functionality of BLN, that keeps those led-buttons at the bottom turned off?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangerot.:
With a Samsung Stock-Kernel you will loose the BLN-Feature. You can try flashing another Kernel which has implemented this feature too. I used the SemaphoreKernel which has this feature. (works on all GB-Roms)

If you try Cyanogenmod you will loose BLN too. But Cm has a feature called "LED-Notification" which does the same as BLN does.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairozed:
So, I downloaded update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip should I go on with this manual? http: //jjpda.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-71-on-i9000.html ?

Or do I have to go back from a root to apply this new one?

Which program do I use on PC, and which one on my phone again? :O
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedo1987:
Search in Cyanogenmod wiki for i9000,you will find all the steps to follow..

You need 1st TO root the phone, than install ROM manager, install CWM, place CM7 zip on internal SD, remove SIM And ext. SD,reboot into recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik, flash CM7 zip and reboot.

Don't forget:

-fully charge your phone before starting

-read CM7 wiki page

Hope this might help you.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairozed:
Well, I did everything the wiki told me to do and here i am with a new rom.

But now my SIM-CARD isn't recognized anymore. I accidently forgot what bedo told me in his last post, and left that card inside while flashing. My bad, i guess.

But what can I do now? I re-flashed, wiped already, with no success, my sim card is still absent in cyanmod. :\
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason123420:
I always leave my sim card in my phone when I flash.. are you just getting no cell signal? Or just trying to get your contacts off of it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedo1987:
Can you post a screenshot about info of your phone with CM7?

(long press power button and select Screenshot when you are in the info menu ;) )
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairozed:
Here some info for your amusement. Have fun! :)

Supposed we get to a solution, so I can use my phone for communication purposes again, I wanted to format the internal sd memory of my phone.

Can I just format it, then just leave the flash files on it, to reflash again?

How does that work?

Also, I flashed that googleappz package rom too after the cynomod flash, as I was supposed to by wiki manual.

But I cannot find google maps, android market etc.

I wonder if there is any connection to my initial sim card problem.

But first things first I guess...wanna do some calls :\

Thanks so far for all the good souls trying to help me! :)

try to flash cm7 radio .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairozed:
What is the difference exactly? Includes a radio option?

Does it also have the option to turn off the led sensor buttons?

Has it an option to do phone calls too? ;)

PS: I cannot seem to find any cyanmod radio file...hmm
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedo1987:
O_O OMG!

Seems no SIM card detected....

Very very strange...

Like the fact that you flash GApps and you can't see market...

Did you wipe cache and Dalvik cache?

+ try this:

"Settings -> Location&Security -> Set up SIM card lock -> Lock SIM card (uncheck)"

I found that in some cases might help.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

Take a look here and try with JVK if it works...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairozed:
I wiped everything possible in recovery mode, flashed that ominous JVC rom, then googleappz. At least now I can shop in the android market. But the sim card still is in the land beyond imagination.

Has my sim card been...bricked?

Which other flash files do you suggest me to try out now? Or should I get me another sim card from the store?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairozed:
Everything's solved!:D And the solution was too easy to believe...

Checked the sim card slot more deeply and found out that the sim card wasn't placed in correctly.:o I seem to have taken it out through the flashing process and in all the "commotion" quickly put it in wrong. Sorry for the big fuzz, everyone. :rolleyes:

At least now I got some training with flashing.:cool:

So, should I reflash the first cyanmod again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedo1987:
no you don't need to reflash the rom, cause you already flashed twice plus wiped all possible options...!

I just didn't want to ask you to check if the SIM card was insert properly,

but that would solve your issue faster...!

Enjoy CM7! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairozed:
Well, I had some time to try out the performance and stability of this mod.

Games definitely are running with a some lag (also reaction time of the sensor to control your game, makes them unplayable).

I tried to uncheck the Cyanmod setting option "Dithering" and "JIT"..also put the cpu settings to "performance".

To be sure I formatted internal SD and external SD.

My phone had some problems finding my external SD, but some guy on the net told to go to Cyanmod settings, applications, use internal memory...and now I use my external SD for everything I guess?

Maybe this is because everything is in slowmo?

Maybe the firstly flashed mod was more...stable?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairozed:
So, my question would be how to use my internal sd card, maybe it gets faster then?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osaunier:
Hi,

After a week of flashing and rooting my phone the problem is still here so I come to the source.

I bought a Galaxy Note in Kuala Lumpur. This one was only having Asian Languages and English. So back in France, I flash it with the last KL7 (without saving anything off course) to have it in French, but I have a problem I lose the carrier at the end of the day :eek:

After some check I understand that I lose the EFS (my IMEI is empty) so I flashed my phone with an old KKA, rooted it and using mobile Odin pro, flashed it with the KL8.

Each morning, I have to import the EFS, reboot the phone to having back my carrier.

Please have you an idea of what can happen??? I'm going to try to put Malaysian (XME) CSC, maybe...

There's no answers to my problem on the French Forums so I try here :)

Thank you for your help.

Olivier

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xi Slick ix:
Incredible running CM7.1, chad's incredikernel from last August (I believe.)

I use the hell out of CM's 'night mode' filters, but as it's dark in my room at night - go figure - the light sensor is tripped into leaving the capacitive soft keys at the bottom of the phone on whenever the screen is on. This kind of wrecks night, mode more or less.

I've found references to the App 'LEDs Hack' in several places, which gives rooted devices the ability to disable the LED's all together, so this sounds like a winner. But then when I try to find this app anywhere (every major market / app store + googling around) it's no longer listed anywhere.

Does anyone

A) have this app and can confirm it works?

B) know where I can find it?

Thanks

Slick
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
I do not know of an app but i use scripts to turn mine off and on. Actually at the moment i have it set to turn them off at boot via an init.d script. Below is a zip of two scripts, one for off and one for on. The off script can easily be modified for use as an init.d script to turn off the soft key lights at boot. This works on my stock rom but cm's files may be different.

http://dinc.does-it.net/Soft_On_Off.zip
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xi Slick ix:
Thanks for the scripts, much appreciated! I'll tinker with these are bit. I'm really terrible @ linux, but I've seen init.d scripts before, I think.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Here is an init.d script incase you cant figure it out. Just unzip it and place the file in your /etc/init.d folder, and set the correct permissions owner and group.

I use this:

https://market.android.com/details?...ch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5oYXhvciJd

I have the filter set to 100% but disable the checkbox for the capacitive buttons therefore when I enable the screen filter, the screen stays whatever brightness my CurveFish widget is set to but the capacitive buttons turn off. I love it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabeakster:
I have my "Automatic" brightness settings all tweaked to my liking and I just leave it on Auto all the time. If you do that, you can set whether the soft keys will be on or off.

For example you can set the soft keys to be off on the dimmest settings (i.e. dark room) and on in brighter environments. I leave mine off all the time (I know where those stinking softkeys are).

Go to:

Menu > Settings > Cyanogenmod Settings > Display > Automatic backlight > Edit other levels... (Use Custom must be checked)

To turn the soft keys off, set the values in the "buttons" column to 0. 0 turns them off, any other number (1-255) will turn them on. Then hit "Save and apply". If you set all the numbers in the "buttons" column to 0, then they will always be off.

Just a word of warning, tweaking you automatic settings can waste a lot of your time if you are a perfectionist...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xi Slick ix:
All of these solutions are great, thanks again! Currently using the screen filter widget option with the CM filters, makes reading in bed sooo much better. Still want to play around with the script just to see if it works, and the custom brightness settings are for tomorrow.

Thanks again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el6006:
I like the Screen Filter by Haxor method but unfortunately its an either on/off solution. I wish there was a way to regulate the brightness of the LEDs instead of just on or off. Oh well. It's all good :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
I just always keep mine off to conserve some battery. I can find those keys blind folded. Although if there were a way to dim them i would probably keep them on super low just for looks.Unfortunatley due to hardware restrictions that is not possible.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refthemc:

I tried this app for kicks but it only half worked. It would turn off and on the amber led at the top, but it would not turn off or on the softkey leds.

[HTC Wildfire S] mehdi_mh:
First of all, I got "ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED" error when I tried to use one of the RUU files mentions in HTCDEV. ( ASIA , EUR , .... )

so I found my rom's HBOOT is not released yet. (my main rom was ARABIC)

So I updated my rom to EUR 2.3.5 ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1363693).

But this update didnt changed my HBOOT, it was still 0.9.000.

SO then I updated ASIA RUU (PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.08.0099_20111216.exe) once again and it worked this time and updated my HBOOT. it changed the HBOOT version to 1.08.0099. (as i mentioned this RUU did not installed on my phone prior to updating to 2.3.5 due to "ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED" error).

after that I followed the steps on HTC dev and bootloader unlocked!
