[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aimfire72:
Wondering the same thing... seems the only way I can upgrade online is by picking a new data plan, as the option to keep my unlimited doesn't even show up. I don't mind paying the full price for the phone, so I've been thinking, maybe what I can do is, use this deal to add a line to my account, and then cancel that line later, pay the ETF. them just put my current sim in the Note. ..

Update: just tried out the retailmenot link and it worked for me when adding a line. I just ran through the numbers and it actually works out cheaper for me to pay one month's service (on cheapest plans) + the $325 ETF. If I were to wait until launch day to buy no-commitment price of $650, + tax, it would end up costing me about $75 more! So I think I know what I'm gonna do, lol. ;)

Btw, for the life of me, have never been able to get the no-commitment price to show up me for me online! Have tried 3 different browsers, various navigation routes, etc. Just never shows up as an option. I'm wondering if it has to do with the zip code & market I'm in (SF Bay), which might explain why some are seeing different pricing options?

I just uploaded a season of star trek to my dropbox and maxed out the free 5gb. Hopefully it is permanent but I don't really use much of it yet so if it was temporary I wouldn't lose anything.

I had to put the videos in a folder called DCIM on my SD card to get it to work on my PC, otherwise it would not auto detect which is what is required to get the free space..

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Idan73:
That's because that file is larger than what you currently have. You need to upload smaller files. Like 10 minute 1080p videos or some avi files you might have lying around.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Idan73:
Did you read full first post? No need to upload and everything done in less than 10 minutes tops.

It's not gonna expire or they'll have public relations backlash for not saying that when they promised this space.

I just did the Google Adwords method last night until this morning. I have been meaning to do it since I read about it month ago, but this whole thing prompted me to go for it. In 12 hours I spent $10 and got over 30 signups and maxed out my allotted free "referral" space - I only needed 27. So on a Free account, I now have just over 15gb of storage.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyro6128:
Yea I spent about 10 on the adwords. Not bad though considering the amount of storage you get. I don't mind the one time cost
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
I had a 3.5G disk image that I dd'd off my USB flash drive to my tablet earlier yesterday, so I copied it to a 8GB micro sd card with a .jpg extension. I was going to just download my stuff from Picasa and test with that, but that'd take 2x as long. So I then installed the new version of dropbox on my PC, stuck in the card via adapter, and let it upload my flash drives disk image. When it was done the Dropbox web page listed me as 6.5GB instead of 2.5GB, and the systray icon as having vastly exceeded my space. Restarted dropbox and that was fixed, then I deleted the file using the web user interface, and bingo.

I am now competent that if I ever get a camera that takes like a 2.5-3 gigapixel photo, that I will be able to upload it :-). Ditto if I ever take a lot of 100+ megapixel photos.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kallilol:
Hi everyone!

I have a SGS (GT-I9000) that I would like to flash with cyanogenmod7. But despite having read quite a lot of stuff about flashing and so on the internet, I have to admit I am a noob, this is why I would need some advice :)

I had the phone with 2.2.1. I rooted it with the one click utility and unlocked it with the market app few months ago.

Then I flashed it with Darky's 9.5. After a while, I decided to upgrade it with darky's 10 rc6 but something went wrong (and I have no idea what it could be). Honestly, it has been a while now and I could not say what exactly happened, I can just tell you what I can read on my phone:

Firmware version:

2.3.3

Baseband:

I9000XXJVK

Kernel Version:

2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVB-CL118186

ficeto@vpn #Dark_Core_2.0

Build number:

FICETO.GINGERBREAD.XWJVB

I noticed something which I think is curious. I just intalled Kies in order to get the drivers for the phone, and I received a message:

A new firmware version is available...

current version: PDA:JVB / PHONE:JVK / CSC:JV3

(NEE)

latest firmware version: PDA:JVH / PHONE:JVO / CSC:JV3

(NEE)

But I always thought that when you flashed a custom rom, Kies could not update your phone anymore ? :confused:

So do you think that I can just flash the rom in recovery following the guide on cyanogenmod's wiki or should I revert back to stock ?

Thank you for your attention.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Woolf:
Just flash cm. Backup your application with TB, factory reset and follow flashing guide.

If you encounter any problems, you can always flash to stock then.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anukilimanoor:
Download the latest CM7 + Google App

Copy into your internal SDCARD

Boot into recovery

Do a full wipe Including (dalvik)

Install CM7

You may face boot loop then remove battery put it back and boot into recovery

Install the same zip file one more time

Optionally flash GoogleApp

Enjoy flashing

I need help, my phone is stuck on the LG screen at boot, when I reboot to attempt getting into CWM i get the screen that says "are you sure you want to do a factory reset...." When I do so and factory wipe it goes back to the LG boot screen and doesn't go into Clockwork Recovery. Tried many times but no luck. I also tried connecting it to my pc and getting the LGNPST program but it doesn't see or recognize my phone as there is no way for me to connect it to USB Mass Storage.

Could I have really bricked my phone? I have screwed it up before but always able to get into CWM and turn on USB Mass storage, now I cant even do that. Any Help Please!!!:confused:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mijaelrodriguez:
Weird problem here! Will explain it briefly and then extended.

Samsung Galaxy Captivate i897. Had Eclair ROM (does that even exist?). Was charging via USB, disconnected it and charging indicator continued, so I turned off and tried turning it back on: It didn't.

Couldn't get it to recovery mode via 3 key combo, only to download mode, So i took it to a friend to upgrade ROM. He installed Gingerbread. Worked fine.

Only minutes after, I turned it off to change SIM cards, put the battery back in, and it wouldn't start again!

CURRENT STATUS:

I can only get it to Download Mode (vol up + vol down + power). I can't get it into recovery mode (vol down + short power press DOENS'T work).

When it tries to boot up I get this screen: Battery image (like when it's off and charging) + Loading icon.

STRANGEST THING: The same issue has happened with two different ROMs!! WTF?

PLEASE, any ideas? I'm from Paraguay, so we don't have Samsung Care Center or whatever to take it to.

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McSpammer5:
It seems to be a problem with the bootloaders, but I do not see what caused it if you did not just flash them. Anyways, try reflashing the bootloader (Dangerous) if you are willing to risk hard bricking your phone, or just reflash to stock using heimdal one click.

Also check your battery on another device if possible, not saying that you have a low battery, I am saying that your battery is completely ****ed. :3.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Well...firstly you're confused as to what the button combos are.

Recovery = all 3 buttons held until the splash comes up then let go.

Download = both volumes ONLY (no power at all)and inserting a usb cable.

Now...that being said it sounds like a hardware issue, the usb port itself to be exact, it thinks there is a cable connected that's why it booted into download mode, when you just hold the volume buttons does it do that?

it could be a kernel issue...but you've said it happens on multiple roms so you've changed that variable already and still had it happen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McSpammer5:
It could be hardware, it could be the bootloaders. Also, some bootloaders have different ways of getting into recovery. Try VOL+ and Power just that.

There is a good chance it is with the battery, if it wont turn on, and as mijaelrodriguez said, I could also be a problem with the charging port. I suggest flashing back to stock froyo 2.2 using heimdal as heimdal will flash everything, including bootloaders, so there is less space for something to go wrong. after flashed to 2.2, use mini kies to go to official 2.3.5 gingerbread. Then just flash the designgears auto root kernel (this will give you root, will not allow your phone to boot as the kernel is incompatible with 2.3.5) then just flash back to stock kk4 kernel. it will give you root on 2.3.5 to start flashing new ROMs again.

-McSpammer5
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
A bad battery wouldn't make the phone think it's charging.

Those other combos you suggested are for I9000 gingerbread bootloaders, he said he was on eclair, don't think he would have those...and if he did, it would say I9000 on the first boot splash.

Bootloaders just don't get messed up out of the blue...that would brick the phone. That doesn't happen by just charging.

Odin flashes bootloaders too, and why use heimdall to go to froyo with froyo bootloaders and then use kies to go to gingerbread that also flashes bootloaders, when you can just go directly to gingerbread with Odin/heimdall? And NOT have to flash bootloaders TWICE,
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McSpammer5:
First of all, I had this same problem, and it was caused by a bad battery. second, you can not use kies unless your phone is booted up, therfore use heimdal. I tend to use the official firmware released through kies over firmware a single guy obtained in his basement. Now, no need to turn this into a thread war, just throwing suggestions at a guy with a problem with his phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tx Redneck:
McSpammer seems apropos. ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Im going with Studa on this one. Anytime you don't have to flash bootloaders its better.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mccover:
If your friend flashed you from Eclair to Gingerbread without including the Gingerbread Bootloader, that would cause problems.

The GB bootloader seems to be backward compatible, but Eclair & Froyo bootloaders are not compatible with GB.

A long shot, since it did boot once.

Another long shot. Check your USB port for dirt, dust, lint, or corrosion.

It only takes one well aimed raindrop if the slider is open.

This can cause some really strange symptoms.

Blow it out. Use something like flat toothpick to GENTLY clean the contacts. the contacts are all on the front side of the connector that sticks up in the middle.

I'm having a bit of trouble flashing val black. I was running val final by white. i followed the op. i wiped cache. did a factory data reset. wiped dalvek cache. formatted /cache formatted /data and i formatted /system. in order to format /system i had to use a newer version of bh's kernal with cwm 5.x. anyway after i switched kernals it allowed me to format /system. when i tried before i changed kernals i would get an error saying unable to unmount /system. Anyway i mounted ummu. then did install zip from sd card. i chose val black i got the new touch cwm ui aroma thing and it said it installed it successfully. i think i clicked a finish button it took me back into cwm then i went back to reboot system now. the phone rebooted and when it came back on all i got was the first splash screen that says galaxy 4g exclusively by tmobile screen. and normally the white letters will get brighter after a second or two but they didn't. it just stayed there. so i let it sit about 10 minutes and it never did anything. can someone tell me where i may have went wrong?

I just used bh's one click package to go back to stock gb with his 2d kernal. If anyone has any ideas let me know. I haven't been able to flash val black ever since it got mixed with cyanogen hybrid. idk whats up.

2)what are the steps you did exactly?

3) what was the result?

Did you reboot the phone after you ran the one click and let it set for 10 minutes or so? Which version of vahalla black did you flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goddi2010:
Ok. Ill break it down in steps.

First of all i used bhs one click to go to stock gingerbread with his 2d kernal.

Second i flashed whitehawks val final. Everything working great. Been running it for a couple weeks

Third i downloaded ravers final version of val black.

Fourth i switched kernals to bhs latest so i could format /system

Fifth i went into cwm wiped cache partition and dalvik cache.

Sixth i did a factory data reset from cwm

Seventh i went to mounts and formatted /system /cache /data

Eight i made sure it was set to ummu

Nine went to install zip from sd card and chose ravers rom

10 it took me to aroma installer and i did typical and custom. (ive tried it twice). With custom i checked off the wipe boxes.

11 installaton seemed a success so i clicked next

12 it took me back into cwm so i clickd go back then restart phone

13 phone boots to the very fist splash screen where is says galaxy s 4g but nothing more. Also while its hung up there the white letters dont get brighter like normal and the only thing i can do is get into download mode.

I do have voodoo lagfix on with ext4 does that matter? i didnt see that mentioned anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bswann:
Same thing happened to me except I came from BlackEdition.zip ( the releases before final ) and everything flashed fine then I got a error after aroma finished but it allowed me to go back to recovery then I rebooted system and now stuck on the T-Mo screen. Fixing to Odin and try again.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Good be that you guys got a bad DL. I and a lot of others flashed it with no issues. Seems like you're doing the right steps. So re-DL and try again. I was on ext4 and it was not an issue. Also I didn't wipe or set mounts. Just did it through the installer(thanks again FB). Painless.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goddi2010:
Yeah it didnt give me an error tho. Lol and i couldnt get into cwm. Ive tried the releases before ravers final and it did the same thing. Except i did flash black edition once but that was before the hybrid.
