[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diverblue:
Hey guys, Just a quick one (hopefully :p)

I'm not exactly a noob when it comes to flashing, however, I have to return my i9000 to Vodafone (UK) for warranty purposes (various hardware issues) and need to flash BUJV9 to return to stock firmware.

Now the problems begin...

I consulted various resources and decided to flash 2.3.3 BUJV9 (PDA, 803.pit) over 2.3.3 XXJVO (PDA, CSC, Modem, 512.pit) as this guy did

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14057013&postcount=29

But now I am stuck in a bootloop. Not the end of the world I know but I need to get back on BUJV9 and obviously need a little help along the way :p

When I boot into Recovery it says,

(in red text)

Failed to mount /dbdata (Invalid argument)

(then in green text)

-- Copying media files --

(then back to red text)

E: failed to mount /dbdata (File exists)

E: copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount /dbdata

Your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions

(then back to green text)

Media files copy failed.

Can't access tp 'system/csc/KPR/system/'.

Successfully applied multi csc.

Any suggestions on how to sucessfully get back on BUJV9 without having to go as far as flashing Froyo...

Cheers!

Have you checked repartition option?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diverblue:
I did check repartition on the flash from JVO to JV9 yes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renato68:
I think that BUJV9 I9000BUJV9 is without the phone, maybe you need to first flash a oldest complete ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colflo101:
jm8

need to flash jm8 rom first
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diverblue:
JM8 is as far back as Eclair, never flashed back from GB, only ever forward to ICS. Is there anything in particular I need to consider when flashing 2.1 JM8 firmware coming from 2.3.3 JVO GB? Do I just flash 2.1 via Odin the same as I do when going from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 for example, or do I need to consider getting bootloaders etc?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diverblue:
Yea it is only the PDA, no phone or CSC. Though I was told that it shouldn't really matter as long as I come from a similar level ROM i.e. 2.3.3. I also have the modem.bin for BUJV9 anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renato68:
I believe (from what little I have learned) that return to a previous version you need from a complete and after making the updates to bring it to the version you want. A rom is not complete if you activate repertition odin can not do because they lack the necessary files.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diverblue:
In terms of using a complete ROM I agree this is necessary but that is why I chose to come from XXJVO, it has all required files. Also, as I quoted in my OP, another chap on this forum went the same route to BUJV9 via XXJVO without issues. Perhaps if I flash the BUJV9 PDA over a fresh install a complete XXJVO firmware without selecting repartition it will work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renato68:
Maybe, but I could not help more. I'm sorry.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diverblue:
that's ok, someone else might be able to help. thanks anyway!

I seem to have stumbled upon this development log.

docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvhPSapHpE1odDVsRWhDbWQtamZkZzhQZXU0UVZEamc#gid=0

According to this one, we almost have a fully working ICS device besides the camera and video playback, both which are classed as "Partially Working".

Still, I would like to confirm the authenticity of this log, can anyone confirm..?
[LG Optimus 2x] ironman159:
The source where I have compiled from my CM9 Kang is: github.com/vorkteam. I flashed it but com.android.phone stops working all the time so it's not usuable and this proves that Ril doesn't fully working for now. Camera don't work from that source (maybe it needs some modification that I didn't apply). Gapps working but youtube FCs when pausing a video. Browser is a little bit choppier than the G2X alpha roms but I think it will be fixed. USB mass storage give me blue screen on PC (Blue death I don't know it in English sorry). Wifi works without a problem. Chrome doesn't display any website. I didn't test Bluetooth and GPS. Gallery is flickering. Angry Birds is also flickering and unplayable. Reboot doesn't work. I hope I helped to assure you!

Edit: It is not even close to Beta!
[LG Optimus 2x] bihariel:
i did the same a few days ago and had the same bugs, but the sources on that github are not updated with the fixes, they only added camera patch but they did not add the ril fixes. So if they update the sources, we can compile a good build for testing, but until that happens, we can not have a good build.

i hope benee updates the sources soon.
[LG Optimus 2x] Aerione:
From RC's Google+, it seems that the first flashable rom shell will arrive under these coming few days.
[LG Optimus 2x] anubiz03:
If you look at the main thread for ICS on P990, you can see the devs talking about it. And no, it's not functional for daily use at all yet, there's no hw accel yet, and as such it's very buggy, very slow, and it is not fixed yet. It PROBABLY won't be fixed before there's a LG leak available.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Radio fixes are being kept private for the time being. Wouldn't want anybody re-releasing our hard work, now would we?
[LG Optimus 2x] bihariel:
i understand you, you worked hard on it and it is ok to keep radio fixes private. only hope if you want beta tester, i am here, i have some android knowledge and can build from you sources....

thanks

Dont want so many threads opening up just to update us on ICS...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] CreekDirt:
I am trying to help someone root their Tmobile Galaxy S 4G. Unfortunately, the threads I am reading here talk about voodoo lag fixes, altering the partitions to ext4, using super one click, etc. It all seems outdated as well.

The phone that I am rocking was rooted by simply flashing an insecure kernel through Odin and that's it. It delivered SU, a custom CWM, and busybox.

From my understanding his phone originally launched with froyo and was later pushed up to GB 2.3.6 by OTAs.

This is the phone's info:

Model: SGH-T959V

Firmware: 2.3.6

Baseband: T959VUVKJ6

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-T959VUVKJ6-CL694230

Build Number: Gingerbread.VUVKJ6

Is it not possible to Odin root onto this phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
Yes. Odin one of the cwm kernels by drhonk, such as kj1, and then I would recommend flashing bhundvens latest kernel in cwm so you have the newer version of cwm.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
More info on rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] CreekDirt:
Can you please explain what this voodoo lag fix is all about? I have seen in other posts where this has to be disabled(somehow) when moving from rom to rom.

So, flash drhonk's kernel to initially get CWM, but then follow up by flashing bhundven's kernel via CWM to update it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Check out the wiki. It contains quite a few definitions including voodoo lagfix. Quick answer - it converts the /data, /cache, and can also convert /system partitions from the rfs file system to the ext4 fike system.

Or you could just go to the Dev section, find bhundven's "Subtlety Modified Stock" kernel. It's a CWM package but if you read through the OP, you can extract the kernel zImage and just fladh the kernel & recovery using Heimdall.

The latest SuoerOneClick will root it if that's all you really want or need.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] CreekDirt:
I just checked out Heimdall and I don't think it is simple enough for them to use. I will have them go the KJ1 to bhundven's KJ6.

I just read most of one of bhundven's threads and got schooled on voodoo. Thanks again for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
No worries. Best of luck. Let us know if you need any help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
I like odin myself just because I'm familar with it. But I hear heimdall is more reliable, so one of these days I plan on getting to know heimdall also.

So I get where your coming from. Of course way back when I thought cwm sounded too complicated, until my desire for a larger selection of ROMs forced me into it :eek: :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
as far as being simple to use ...

use bhundven's 1 click.

it is much easier than odin. and the name says it all "1 click" and you are done
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] CreekDirt:
Where I am sure that one clicks have made advancements since I last used them, they make me wary. I had a very bad experience with using super one brick in the past. So I tend to stay far away from them.

Everything worked out great for him though flashing KJ1 first in Odin followed up with bgundven's updated 2.3.6 kernel afterwards with CWM. It really helped him learn a lot of the behind the scenes stuff pertaining to rooting and I learned more than I ever wanted to know about a phone I will never use.

I just wanted to stop back here and say thank you for the information and the patience.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
the one-clicks and SuperOneClick are totally different things. SuperOneClick is just for rooting but the one-clicks can install whole new ROMs or new kernels. Glad all is ok now though.

SOLVED

Posted about this in the CM9 thread, but haven't gotten any help there yet. Basically every time I attempt to download any attachment in gmail (pictures, apk, etc), it shows that it's downloading and reaches 100% completion in gmail, but then does nothing. There is nothing in the downloads app. I have to use a browser to get these files, which is annoying, so any help would be much appreciated. Gmail version is 4.0.3 and I've tried clearing data.

Edit: I found a themed apk and deleted system app, reinstalled as normal app, works fine now.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ted973:
These apps will help you dump a csc and make your own csc image!:)

1.convert Samsung org csc(Ra000FF) or CSC.D000FF to real csc file.

cmdline: CSCConverter.exe -d i917ATTJK2.csc.Ra000FF i917ATTJK2.csc

CSCConverter.exe -d CSC.D000FF CSC.csc

PS: if you dumped a CSC.D000FF file, app will show you CSC Max Block Count, remember this, we will use it!

2.dump csc file and have a csc script file.

cmdline: CSCBuilder.exe -d i917ATTJK2.csc i917ATTJK2.txt

3.edit files and script file, then build a new csc file.

cmdline: CSCBuilder.exe -b i917ATTJK2_new.csc i917ATTJK2.txt

4.convert csc file to D000FF.

cmdline: CSCConverter.exe -b i917ATTJK2.csc CSC_new.D000FF 42

PS: 42 is i917 CSC Partition Max Block Count, I think it's same as i8700.

5.have fun with custom csc!

PS:

UAInput.000 in CSC is like a copy file script.you can use CSCPackage.cab.pkg to do this, but make sure cab signed cert is in your custom rom.

samsung WP7 device first boot:

1.copy CSCPackage.cab.pkg to \OSRoot\UpdateBin\CSCPackage.cab.pkg.

2.run SLDR to update CSCPackage.cab.pkg to Rom.

3.boot.

USAGE:

CSCConverter -d <CSC.D000FF/CSC.Ra000FF> <CSC File>

CSCConverter -b <CSC File> <CSC.D000FF> <Max Block Count>

CSCConverter -br <CSC File> <CSC.Ra000FF> <Max Block Count> (*not completed!)

CSCBuilder -d <CSC File> <CSC Script>

CSCBuilder -b <CSC File> <CSC Script>

Best Regards

on omnia7 its the same "42"

thanks for the app's real cool

Edit:

4.convert csc file to D000FF.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cotulla:
Good work!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] voluptuary:
GREAT! I think this is just what I wanted! If I am correct in my assumption, using CSC we can debrand our phone and make custom registry edits like interop-unlock and enable ICS without needing to build/flash a whole ROM, right?

EDIT: So I made a CSC to debrand the ATT Focus and stop the 'Now' xap from being pinned but... after sucessfully flashing it to the phone and hard-resetting nothing changed. So I guess that means the only way to apply is to build it into the ROM or send the update cab which also means you have to rebuild the ROM with your own cert...

Hi,

I just got my SGS2 and wanted to order a case for its protection so I took a look around and found this from Astrobile. ( Google it, forum doesn't let me to post url ) It's pretty awesome on paper, cause i didn't get it yet, but I looking forward it is indeed cool.

They have a 1 plus 1 event now, so you can get 2 for a price of one. They also include 2 screen protector with it. It's Made in Korea. ;)

Why is it Hybrid? Its made of plastic, but at the back of it there is a metal plate which "make your device looks slimmer". Imo it could also helps keep your device cooler. My SGS2 is getting real hot when playing constantly for an hour or more.

Im already excited about it, can't wait to get it! I will update when i get them, they said it will take about 10 days.

And the best of all, there is free shipping to worldwide. Of course you can take a Express Shipping, but that's not for free...

if you want a cheap and cheerfull hybrid case then look for a fake sgp neo hybrid case

if you want a more exspensive hybrid case look for genuine neo hybrid sgp cases

a fake one will cost up to £12 and usually start at about £6

real sgp cases will cost you £18-£22 and no less

iam using a fake neo hybrid at the minute as i broke my genuine one and its a pretty good case for the money , it fits standard battery and 2000mah battery , its lasted a good few months and has kept the phone pristine , it covers the phone well even with the 2000mah battery

they are the best hybrid case ive found and add minimal bulk to the phone , look good , fit nice , protects the phone from drops and if you buy a fake one you can get them for pretty good prices

Just picked up a Skyrocket last night.

When the phone is on the charger and you do a power off it looks like she is shutting down, but then goes right back on. Took the charger off and then she powers off as normal.

Anyone else have this or seen this?

This is normal for all phones besides maybe a couple. For example if you're sleeping and you get a big metal pipe shoved up your arse wouldn't you wake up?

Even if you shut it down, if the SR senses there's power there than its going to use it for charging against your will.

skyrocket wont shut off figured out!!!

So your skyrocket wont shut off and sometimes it drains and wont turn on and vibrates while off well I hadthesesame problems and I finally figures it outand its an easy fix. Your skyrocket came with a square power adapter so use that next time you charge it up and it works like it did when you first bought the phone. It turns off and the charging battery animation comes back. Hope this works for all you having this same issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] djgoodonyafanboy:
*scratches head* ..uuh, yea. In re: to what @warren_gamer said, I agree. But check this out...

I have a factory replacement from AT&T, stock, un-rooted. I have drained the battery down until phone powers off. Upon plugging in with original power adapter and cable, the phone vibrated while off and then turned itself on. I have NEVER been able to get the phone to stay powered off while charging.

The first new SR I had, out of the box, did charge with a battery animation.

So, I'm under the assumption that its a kernel & hardware issue. It's annoying but so is a large pipe up your arse.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack Shaftoe:
I just tested this with mine.

If I turn it off *before* plugging in the power, it turns back on when I plug it in.

If I turn it off *after* plugging in the power, it stays off for me.
