[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangerot.:
try flashing the 2.3.5 JVT Firmware with 512.pit and repart. I do not know any firmware which uses those strange .pit files you used(except one or two very old Fimrwares which are using the 803.pit file).. If the phone doesn't boot after doing that you can try formatting your SD in recovery. According to that Errormessage you get in Recovery it could be possible that something is wrong with yout internal Memory. Formatting the internal Memory could solve your problem. After doing both your Galaxy might boot again. If not it could be an Hardwareissue too. In this case just flash the latest official Firmware and send it to samsung and let them repair ist :DAttantion: All Files like pictures, videos or whatever on your Internal-Memory will be deleted if you format your internal memory!(that apps are deleted after flashing schould be known by everyone :D)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boronian:
no success :(

Thank you two for your fast answer!

Unfortunately it didn't do the trick :(

As I wrote 214 I meant the "normal" 512 pit file (d'oh!), sorry for that, orangerot.

I noticed something strange: I left the phone turned off for some hours today, and after the reboot there was again the boot loop I had in the very beginning (until the white Logo), and going to recovery mode there was an error:

E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount /sdcard
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI men
u for format and reboot actions.
Media files copy failed.

I tried a wipe that led me to the following:

-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
E:format_volume rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /dbdata...
Formatting /cache...
Deleting Meta Data
Data wipe failed.

asking google for that I found a thread (in german) on handy-faq.de (samsung_i9000_galaxy_s_forum/225311-geraet_gewiped_bootschleife), in which the contributors came to the conclusion the only way would be (and was in the end) the samsung repair service.

Interesting is, that after a reboot I was again at the same position as before (glowing S) and no error message in the recovery mode. From this starting point I tried again to flash (with JVT, 512.pit through Odin3 v1.85, as you suggested), with no visible change of behaviour: still booting only until the glowing S, no error in recovery mode, wiping doesn't help but finishes without error.

If anyone has some additional idea I would appreciate to hear about, otherwise I guess I try to flash an official Android version (any idea how to find out which is the most recent official version updatable from kies?), and bring it to the samsung partner.

Thanks a lot!

I have had athat happen before, try flashing darky's resurrection edition via odin. It worked for me.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boronian:
still not recovered

Thank you, B1-P,

but unfortunately it didn't work. Odin quitted with green "pass" and "succeed", but after the first reboot afterwards it ended in recovery mode with following errors:

Formatting /data...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /dbdata...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-1P:
Ahh man...

Okay, there are a couple of more things you can do,

1. Try darky resurrection rom V9.2 (I think your issues maybe due to some lagfix problems/mounting filesystem incorrectly etc.) Try the 9.2 in odin, make sure that you have checked the "Repartition" as ON and have a PDA and a PIT file selected.

http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-rom-darkys-resurrection-edition-9-2.895/

2. And if the Darky rom 9.2 does not work, then this thread is your best shot (you will need at least some linux experience for this to be helpful):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=845708

If all that doesn't work, then I don't know what will.... I'm sorry.. I don't know what else you could do. Try a repair centre as a last resort I guess.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangerot.:
Did you try to format your internal sd? Wiping and formatting are two diffrent things.. And in your logs I only see that you are wiping your data.. So just try formatting your internal sd. i think you will find it under "mounts and storages" in cwm. I've read before that this may help to solve this problem. if this does not help it could be that your internal sd is broken. In this case you have to send it to the samsung repairservice. but make sure you flash the official JVI firmware to remove the clockworkmod, so they cannot see that you have flashed your mobile cause if the recognize it they may refuse tu repair your mobile :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boronian:
After I installed Darky's resurrection 10.1 I had troubles to get in recovery mode... and loads of errors the few times I managed... last attempts didn't bring me to the modified but the "original" recovery menu. I think I don't dare to try Darky's ROM 9.2 after this experience. And for messing around with EXT4 and Linux I don't feel ready at all, thanks though for the link! Now I am back on a stock version and again the old picture.

I thought when I use the pit file and check the repartition box it will reformat the internal sd?? If not... this cwm... I didn't quite get what exactly it is. Isn't it an android app? How can I use it, when I am not able to boot?

And then: is JVI and JV1 the same? If not where is the difference?

Thanks again! (And sorry if my questions are silly)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangerot.:
No, repart only reparts the system partition off the phone. the internal and external SD are not going to be formatted while reparting. If it would behave like that all your photos, videos, folders and so one would have been deleted. Apps are deleted because they are saved on the system-partition.

CWM is a recovery which has some more features than the stockrecovery. You get it with flashing a CustomRom(they usually all have CWM) or an CustomKernel(e.g. CF-Root, Semaphore etc.).

You can acces CWM by holding Vol-up+homebutton+powerbutton at boot and release them when the Galaxy GT-I9000 screen appears. Its just like getting into the Downloadmode but instead of pressing vol- you have to press vol+. Once you are in CWM you navigate to mounts and storages(with vol-up/vol-down you can go up/down and with the powerbutton you select an option) and format your internal sd there. After that everything may be fine again :) If not you have to send it to the samsung-repair-service after flashing the official JVI-firmware to delete CWM and so on. JVI and JV1 are not the same.. JVI ist the last official firmware(2.3.3) while JV1 is a leaked, unoffical firmware. So you have to flash JVI befor sending you phone to samsung while JVI ist the last official firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boronian:
back to life

Dear orangerot, dear B-1P

thanks for your patience!

Then I knew the cwm, I just didn't know it was called that way.

So the "modified" recovery menu I talked about was the cwm. In the last attempt with Darky's Rom I couldn't get back to that cwm... maybe I released the 3 buttons at the wrong time? Don't know.

However, in the mean time I gave the phone to a service partner of Samsung, and they sent it to Samsung. Today I got it back and everything works again. Unfortunately they didn't give any details on what they did (except for new installation of the OS, which didn't help for me...).

So for me this problem is solved (for now...)

Cheers!

CDMA doesn't use a sim.

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

There is CDMA Workshop or QPST that can do what you want.

What you have to do depends on the phone (If CDMA Workshop works it will be easier).

Look at this as an example.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
I was going through some of my apps data yesterday and noticed almost all of them were using flurry. While I know it doesn't send private information it's still unnerving. Most of my apps are paid versions - some from the devs that reside here. I know they need to know why an app crashes and when but there's plenty of other options to use. I know there's no sinister intent but I paid for the app to not include ads and things like that (another thing flurry is used for). So what's it's purpose?

Also, we tore CIQ and all the carriers apart over the use of CIQ. Why? Mostly because it was done without our consent. Among other more seemingly sinister issues... looking at you FBI. So why do we allow flurry to be used even in paid apps without our consent or prior knowledge? It's the same principle so why are we not holding them to the same standard? Are we tech hippies trying to fight 'the man' while holding double standards for our own? Seems to be that way. I could be looking at this from the wrong angle and would be thrilled to learn that. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

I've seen the gray dock start to ship. However, is there anyone here who has actually received a champagne dock? Or has anyone heard about their arrival?

Several smaller retailers still have a "notify me"/backorder listing, but it seems the champagne dock has now been removed from Best Buy's site. Amazon used to have a good listing, but now the description says gray (not matching the champagne pictures). Newegg has the gray and AFAIK has never had the champagne dock listed. At my local Gamestop I've been told they have no idea when docks will arrive.

The Flyer has true GPS. I believe that functional GPS is one of the requirements in order to have official access to the suite of Google Android apps (Android Market, Gmail, etc.). If you have Sprint wireless service on the View, you can probably get a lock faster since it can use cell towers to help determine your location quicker. But the Flyer definitely has GPS.

I get almost 2 days of battery life ( 1day 20 hours). You must be rooted. This are steps you need to take:

1) Recondition your battery, 2) Flash a good kernel (I use Faux's) 3) use a CPU manipulator app like SetCpu, System Tuner, Fauxclock, etc and set it to Conservative and default Voltage settings 4) Be smart about your usage--use wifi as much as possible, and reduce screen brightness.
