[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Though it seems silly to me , but also logic on the other hand, is it possible to make a One-Click-Heimdall for stock Froyo ?

Thanks.

There is an Odin file somewhere. I don't know where though.

Can the camera mod and bravia engine be flashed on cm7 or is it all for pre 2.3.6
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ariesgodofwar:
I've flashed both on 4.0.4, AOKP, so you should be able to do on CM7. You can use Pimp My Rom (check the Play Store) to do it easily.

I have GB 2.3.6, updated the drivers and am using SOC 2.3.3 to root my phone. After starting the root process SOC locks on step #5. I have followed the instructions and kept SOC's exploit set to Auto. Not sure what I'm doing wrong or what I need to do differently. Please help.....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gizmoscoop:
Haha, I still have that Odin file on my server.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rookiegenius:
excellent thread !!! I follow word by word and have no problem at all (eccept when root it kept saying missing driver altho I already installed it). Applied most of the tweaks and mods. :)

This phone is my dad's. recently he complained about how slow it was lol so hopefully these stuff helps.

SuperOneClick will not work

Hi all, I have tried everything in this stream to make SOC root my phone, but it NEVER works. At first it stopped responding at step 7 then it just plain stopped at step 5 and now it stops responding at step 2. I have tried a port on the back of my machine that hasn't been used before. I have tried it with kies installed and without, with samsung drivers installed and without. I factory reset the phone and tried. I flashed the fresh GB rom and tried. All with variuos failed results. Is there a manual way to do it? I thought about buying one click root, but I hate paying for something I can do myself.

Please help
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
If you don't care to keep a stock ROM, one of the one-click Heimdall packages would be your easiest root/custom recovery options. Or just keep doing SOC until it works. Took me 3-10 tries back when I did it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drodious:
SOC

Flashing that ROM worked like a charm. SOC was a huge waste of time! In my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rookiegenius:
SOC has been great to me. Try using using usbreview (posted in the instruction) to erase your existing Samsung drivers and install them again

After rooted, I got a bootloop (not wiped cache when restore a rom) and had to root again. Still no problem at all
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DickyG:
Before I take the final step, I want to make sure I've covered all bases.

Currently on stock Froyo, rooted, with Bali 3.3 kernel installed using SGS Kernel Flasher.

I've got my efs folder backed up on SD card & computer, apps & data backup with Titanium Backup, and a nandroid backup with CWM (although I have no idea what I backed up).

I even "practiced" flashing with Heimdall right up to the point that it said "ready to flash". It skipped all the driver installations, probably because I installed them when I rooted some time ago.

Three final questions before I try to flash GB:

1. I'm assuming that I'll have unrooted GB and I'll have to root again?

2. Do I have to do those cache wipes and Dalvik wipes that you need to do if flashing with CWM?

3. It looks like I won't have to re-install apps & data...is this correct?

Thanks for any input.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You are on Froyo - so flash with bootloaders. Yes, following this guide will leave you with unrooted GB. After flashing the second time with bootloaders, you can flash a third time flowing the guide except downloading one of the kernel .jar files bhundven has for download in the second post of his Heimdal One-Click thread.

There is no need to wipe caches when flashing with Heimdal.

You should not restore apps. Re-download them. And restore data for the apps one by one to see if any problems arise.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DickyG:
Thanks..Glad you reminded me to flash bootloaders. Re-downloading apps is not a problem. Think I found bhundven's thread...Basic w/a Twist & 2 others? According to the post, I can flash with SGS Kernel Flasher (which was pretty easy). I assume flashing that kernel will give me CWM...also root or do I have to use super one-click again?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
If you flash a rooted kernel you will not need super one-click.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DickyG:
Thanks again...the guide is great...I can do this.

Now if I could only figure out how to hit a curveball....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DickyG:
A quick update...

Thanks to your guide, I successfully flashed to GB...there were 2 problems which I somehow solved:

1. On my first couple tries, the drivers wouldn't install. Finally, I uninstalled the USB drivers I had previously installed when I rooted the phone. I also went into regedit and deleted everything with "Samsung" in it.

2. Zadig did not bring up "Samsung USB Composite Device". However, when I first went into download mode, the "detected new hardware" popup in the tray said "gadget serial" or something like that. I went back to Zadig, clicked on that one, and the rest of the driver installation...and the rest of the flash to GB...went smoothly.

Now I need to flash a kernel to get me back to rooted status...then I can start re-installing apps.

Thanks you very much!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Yeah... what I needed to do for Heimdall myself this morning (when I flashed the XperiaSlim kernel onto my PACman phone) was:

1) Boot phone to download mode.

2) Unplug phone from USB.

3) Plug phone into USB. This made it install the Samsung drivers.

4) Open Drivers\zadig.

5) Options->List all devices.

6) Select Samsung USB Composite Device.

7) Select WinUSB and install driver.

8) Unplug phone from USB.

9) Plug phone into USB.

10) Heimdall flash --kernel boot.img

11) Restarted phone and it booted into alternative download mode with the yellow triangle.

12) Heimdall flash --kernel boot.img

Success!

Heimdall One-Click is the easiest way to flash ROMs; even noobs agrees to that (I was there, remember? :-p). However, it feels good satisfying to do it the developer way. That way, you get the singular privilege of reasoning with the codes + the coder.

How simpler can Heimdall One-Click firmware package get?

1. Download the ROM package (an executable jar file). Some come with the appropriate kernel included.

2. Download Heimdall suite

3. Get the USB drivers installed from Heimdall front-end program

4. Get the latest Java runtime app for your PC

5. Get the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable set up

6. Get your phone into download mode

7. Open the executable jar file (it should state that your device is connected)

8. Flash your device

9. Your phone reboots and breaths a fresh air.

10. You are now a happy (you may kiss your phone)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ApexPredatorBoids:
Well, I'm kinda at a loss. Not only is the SOC completely useless, but I also can't get into download mode to use Heimdall. I've tried every variation I could find on XDA, and nothing takes me to download mode. I can get to recovery, but that's it. Every single time I try it, the SOC goes unresponsive after "Starting ADB Server". Yes, I have USB Debugging enabled. Any chance there's some newer rooting method that's come out since this thread was active? I'm stock and running 2.3.6.

Update:

It turns out that my phone simply didn't like the USB cable I was using. I tried a different cable and now I can get into DL mode, however, Heimdall doesn't recognize that the phone is actually connected. I tried it both with and without Kies Mini installed on my laptop. It's still the same story with SOC, though. Even with the alternate cable, it still goes unresponsive at the very same point in the process.

Is there some special driver I'm supposed to be using? If so, can you provide a link? Whenever I'm in DL mode and plug the phone into my laptop, I get an error message that says something along the lines of: USB Device Not Recognized." Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Read the part of the guide that has you install the new driver using zadig. Actually, follow the guide all the way through. ;) Lumin spent a good time writing this guide to make sure it would be easy to follow, not many users have problems with it because they read the guide and get the desired results.

Wrong firmware

Hi I have the SGH-T959V , but it was flashed with Samsung s I9000 and I have tried to use this one-click method with no luck. Heimdal does not allow me to do this. Is there a way to clear the I9000 firmware and install the correct SGH-T959V firmware on this phone? I saw another having the same problem, getting the same error "Local and device PIT files don't match and repartition wasn't specified!

Ending session..."

I am currently using I9000UGKG3, GB 2.3.3. I have flashed other versions of GB, 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 without problems, but want to install the correct firmware.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for all the info here.

Any advice???

Can someone help with this problem? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cpkelley94:
Wait, are you saying that you flashed your T959V with i9000 software and it still works?

If Heimdall doesn't work, I guess you could try to use Odin, although it's not recommended for this phone. Are you using the Heimdall One-Clicks provided in the development forums or are you just using the actual Heimdall program to flash pieces of firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] janzgg:
Firmware problem

Thanks for the reply. Yes, this T959V has been flashed with the i9000. I did this by mistake before reading this forum. Now, I understand this is not a good idea. But, yes it has i9000 and does work fine. I tried the Heimdall one-click and Odin Gremlin remover from this forum. Neither work as they have a problem with the Pit file from the I9000. I tried these many times too. I have also tried Odin with stock GB 2.3.4 & 2.3.6 and the correct PIT file. No luck. I use the Heimdall frontend with XWJVZ_heimdall.tar.gz and it always flashes good, as do Stock GB with Odin 1.85.

Does some file in the root have to be cleared, changed or erased? My IMEI number is not correct either. I am trying to change that too with no luck. This is not a primary phone for me and it was rooted with Team Whisky before I got it from my daughter. I use it mainly with WIFI/Skype for international calls.

Any info/help would be apprectiated. I have a JTAG and this has come in handy during my learning curve! Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cpkelley94:
Is your IMEI all zeros? That's an indication that the i9000 ROM wiped the /efs partition on your phone, where that number and other important cell data are stored. Either that or the i9000 ROM just doesn't know where to look...it may be possible that this can be fixed but only by successfully restoring the T959V ROM.

It seems to me that since the i9000's partition table is different than the SGS4G's, the One-Clicks and other programs can't identify the phone as an SGS4G. But that's only my conjecture. I'll let a more-skilled developer know to take a look at this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] janzgg:
Firmware problem

No, it is not all zeros, it has the typical 'fake' IMEI that many people talk about. I did find info here to restore it, but it did not work. I believe what you say is true, I need the T959V rom first to resolve this. Yes, every time I try to flash with the sgs4g.pit, it stops as it does not recognize the partition or it says the repartition failed. I have never had the T959V flash work, but I have seen the SGS4G boot screen even though the phone will not work. I have even tried to flash the T959v rom with the s1_odin_20100512.pit and it almost finishes the flash, but does not!

What I do not understand is, if I messed up the partition table by flashing it with I9000, why wouldn't flashing the T959V rom do the same? Also, in Oden I see their is a box to check 'Phone EFS Clear'. Would this clear the I9000 partition table? I have made a backup of this folder now (a little to late though!). I have read here where people have deleted their EFS folder and flashing creates a new one.

I could bring it to a shop and have this done too, but I believe it would cost more than the phone is worth. Being retired, I don't mind trying to resolve this and I have learned a lot too about flashing. Thanks again for the info and your time.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] limeaide:
I do not know if this will work or not but I would find the post from fbis251 for a starter kit. It uses odin natively and not as a one click that you have no control over what is flashed. I do know odin should work when heimdal acts like a little kids and says no no no no (or daniel bryan if you are a wwe fan).

I also do not know if the files needed are still hosted somewhere but Im sure [MENTION=3833556]FBis251[/MENTION] can direct to the proper place.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] janzgg:
firmware problem

I think I might have tried this package. It comes with the KC1 and KJ6 and is flashed with Oden? I had the same problem with not accepting the SGS4g.pit file. Their must be another step/file to delete the I9000 table?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] limeaide:
In that case I dunno. Either [MENTION=275042]fbi[/MENTION]s351 or [MENTION=1949378]bhundven[/MENTION] might be able to help.

This is just a long shot guess, but maybe rename the pit file to something related to the i9000? Maybe create a heimdal one click that uses the sgs4g stuff but state it is for a i9000. Barring that only other option might be send it to mobile tech videos and see if they can fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] janzgg:
firmware problem

My friend, nothing is a long shot for me! This phone is a learning experience for me and I have learned a lot! I flashed I9000 by mistake and it worked. I also flashed I897 without any problems....but I read here this is not possible? I just want to get this phone back to original. I appreciate your info and help very much. I live in Brasil now and it is not easy to get this work done.

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

OK. What would I rename this too? The I9000 pit is typically s1_odin_20100512.pit and T959V is sgs4g.pit. I have created heimdal one clicks using both pits, no luck. As I said, sending to MTV is not an option from Brasil and it would cost more than the value of the phone. This phone has little value.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Renaming the pit file doesn't do anything as the contents is the problem. You flashed an gt-i9000 rom, and that is the mistake. You will probably need to send your phone to mobiletechvideo (at the top of my heimdall oneclick thread. look for `bricked'). Or, get handy with a soldering iron and do UnbrickableMod.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] janzgg:
firmware problem

Thanks for the reply. Yes, flashing the GT-I9000 rom was a mistake. I read about this too late, but the phone works. Every time I try to flash the T959V packages, I get a soft brick, no hard brick. Then, I use the JTAG and re install the GT-9000 rom without problems. Why would I need the UnbrickableMod? I can not send this to mobiletechvideo as I live in Brasil now, but I am from Seattle too! Can I clear the EFS folder of the GT-I9000 partition? Or a different folder.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Ugh, then maybe you should check the model number under your battery? Make ABSOLUTELY sure it says SGH-T959V!

You cannot run GT-i9000 roms on your phone. I will video tape me bricking my phone with a GT-i9000 rom, and it will not work.

WAT!?! You have to have a GT-i9000. That's all there is to it. You're bricking your phone with SGH-T959V roms. but you're using jtag? I'm so confused.

UnbrickableMod, while a fancy name, is just changing the PoR (Power on Rest) pin (xOM5, on s5pc110/s5pv210 chips) to be high(1) instead of low(0). (see 'S5PC110_EVT1_UM10 processor manual.pdf' in the Galaxy S Hack Pack on page 470(6-7)). This allows the device to boot from UART/USB first before loading the PBL from OnenandMux(Audi).

You can then use the resurrector to boot a hacked PBL from usb to load new bootloaders from download mode (that the hacked PBL boots to).

dude, don't mess with the efs. I've done all sorts of nasty stuff to my phone, I wouldn't do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] janzgg:
firmware problem

Ugh, then maybe you should check the model number under your battery? Make ABSOLUTELY sure it says SGH-T959V!

This is definately the SGH-T959, but it does not say 'V'. From a TMobile store in Seattle. I can do the GT-I9000 flashes without a problem on this phone. It only gets soft bricked when I try the SGH-T959V packages from this site. I used the JTAG for this reason. I assume this is wrong firware as the power button does not work in recover mode. The volume button lets me select, ie wipe cache partition, but I can not execute it with the power button.

Is there a different flash for SGH-T959? (without V).

I just discovered that today also. Just finished flashing with T959 back to stock without any problems. The learning curve is going. Guess I was lucky not to have hard bricked this phone with the T959V files!

Personally, I would recommend this one click as it contains bhundven's blastoff kernel, which will allow you to easily flash any other GB rom or upgrade to any ICS, JB or KK rom easily, since the rom is rooted and has CWM built in.

Yes this will work, also make sure you follow the rom author's instructions before you flash. If anything goes wrong you can always flash to the one-click again and you'll have a working KJ6 (gingerbread) rom.

Make sure your daughter's phone is one of these two models (check under the battery)

Hello,

I'm in need of some help in sorting out what appears to be a java issue, where I am not able run the "java -jar" command to begin the one click process.

I was trying to install the newest SlimSaber build that has the GPS fix , but after following the OP instructions:

Reboot recovery

Install this ROM

Reboot recovery

Advanced Wipe; /system, /data, /cache

Install this ROM - again

Make TWRP backups

Reboot

When after installing the ROM the first time, it won't get past the NiLMT splashscreen.The dev suggested that I oneclick back to stock & start over,

Since I have never had to do this before, I following the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1470716

But got stuck at this"'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

Followed the thread to set the path variable, but now I am getting "error unable to access jar file". I tried grabbing another copy, several other oneclicks, moving files to another folder etc, all with the same results. I've attached my path string, if that might help any. This is my one & only phone, so I'm pretty much SOL if I can't get this working again.

Thanks for any suggestions.
