md5sum is a computer program that calculates and verifies 128-bit MD5 hashes, as described in RFC 1321. The MD5 hash (or checksum) functions as a compact digital fingerprint of a file.

Virtually any non-malicious change to a file will cause its MD5 hash to change; therefore md5sum is used to verify the integrity of files

here is a really stupid question. My voice mail number is listed as "voice mail" on contacts, but in the call log, it comes up as "Watanabe Florist", a company I've never heard of. I looked the name up and there really is a flower company by that name. Is this something I should call tmobile about? I don't want to be billed for someone else's calls.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Nazcalito, that's an odd one man! I tested it just now and it shows up properly in my call log. I'm running a stock-based ROM, debloated, with AntonX's latest OC/UV kernel.

I'm stumped a bit. I'll keep thinking on it but if you come up with a fix, definitely post back here.

I bought the OEM car dock. It has a mini usb port for charging and a 3.5mm for audio. However My H/U in my vehicle has usb inputs that I use for my ipod and on my Droid X and Optimus V would let me mount the sd card as a drive. But the dock apparently only shows up to the phone as a charger connection.

If there a way to "trick" the phone into thinking that it is plugged in to a usb device and not a charger?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] putsometrebleinit:
Could it be that you're running an older version of CM7? One of the updates that didn't support USB mounting?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
We dont have a port of CM7 that I would even consider using. So nope not a older version. Plus this only happens with the dock..plugging into the computer works just fine.

2.3.6?

I new here, obviously, well I downloaded Gingerbread 2.3.5 from some YouTube tutorial video and flashed it. I want to now upgrade to 2.3.6, but can't find it anywhere. I tried Kies mini, but it doesn't work. It says Unregistered Device. I assume because it's not official firmware. I would just like to know where I can get GB 2.3.6. Help?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Try the guide for bhundven's KJ6 Heimdall One-Click in the second link of my signature. You should not need to flash with bootloaders but not knowing exactly what you previously flashed - if you boot into a rainbow looking screen that will tell you that you need to flash again with 'flash bootloaders' checked the second time.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] leo321:
Ok guys, I feel like a noob all over again. I don't know what went wrong, but in the process of installing Cm7 I seem to have deleted my imei. What method of recovery is available, if any?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Do you have a backup? If so you'll be fine. If you've flashed any of Erikmms stuff lately you have one because Aroma Installer backs it up automatically now(thank FB for that). First let's try the easy way. Pull your battery and let the phone sit for ten minutes or so. Boot back up and check your imei. If that didn't work we'll go to the hard way.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] leo321:
Thats a relief to hear... I forgot to do a backup D: lol I was on SCOM Floyd before I flashed CM7. Im letting the phone sit for 10 an will update. Thanks :)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
You really have no backup. Well then this is gonna be the really hard way. Look on your sdcard inside aroma-backup folder. You hopefully will see a file called efs-xx-xx-xx.tar. That's the backup. Now wait for FB to help with how we use that .tar file to restore your IMIE. I think it migh be as simple as putting it on the root of the sd card then flashing his efs-restore.zip but I'm not sure. Someone will know.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] leo321:
theres no aroma backup folder and i was on scom :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
How did you flash CM7? Are there any files on your sd that say efs-backup.tar or md5? And can you make calls?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
are you sure you looked in your sd card for a folder called aroma-backup?

what version of scom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] leo321:
As for what version of SCOM, I was running Floyd, and no theres no aroma-backup. Im beginning to think ive got a mini wifi tablet :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
floyd edition backs up your efs for sure so check again man it should be there.

on root of sdcard look for aroma-backup folder
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] leo321:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
mount the sd card to ur comp and verify if u dont have it you might be screwed
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] leo321:

WiFi Issues

Wondering if someone may be able to help trouble shoot a WiFi issue I'm having.

I have a custom ROM installed. TheValhalla Black FB Edition. This ROM was working great for me for about a week or so. Then all of a sudden I've been experiencing problems connecting to Wireless networks.

The device won't connect to a WiFi network at all. It appears that it's having issues obtaining an IP address as that's where it get's stuck. This has happened on a variety of different networks.

Any ideas on where to begin troubleshooting?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
first thing i would do is clear cache, dalvik and fix perms and go from there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MidnightSwinga:
Thanks for the reply.

Just did what you said but I'm still experiencing the issue of not being able to get an IP address. Hmmmm

If this still hasn't been answered (I just starting wading through this thread), grey bars denote the amount of signal your phone is actually pulling, and then the bars turn blue when your phone is actively using background data. That's what I've found, at least.

Do I flash a new kernel before or after a new ROM?

I flashed bhundven's latest, then flashed VB, and it says my kernel is:

2.6.35.7-T959VUVKJ6-CL694120

bryan@flambe #10

Did I flash it correctly? Can I just flash it again over the ROM, if not? I'm experiencing a lot of force closes and random reboots.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Gray = connected

Blue = connected + connected to Google. If you don't add a Google account the bars will never turn blue but you can use your phone's connections just fine.

Flash the ROM, then the kernel you want to use. If you're getting FC's it might not be kernel related at all, you should re-flash your ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizard7926:
Yeah, I guess that's where I saw the blue, was when I connected to the Play store. I rarely keep background data on.

I'm planning on reflashing tonight. So, my order would be CWM data/cache/dalvik clear, then flash rom, then flash kernel?

I ask because I continually mess this process up somehow. Nothing seems to stick. I've also been losing MMS capability recently, and I'm not sure how, along with poor battery life.

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

Just want to solve my instability issues once and for all and I feel dumb for not being able to follow these really great guides! :\
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I would use thomas raines gremlin remover, then follow his direction for flashing a rom after. If you are using one of the roms that has the aroma installer no need to wipe that stuff first the installer does it for you. However if you want to be super sure go ahead. When you run the aroma installer it will pop a error up saying your device is not recognized, its ok you wiped the stuff so its not seeing the device id.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizard7926:
I'll give it a go -- even though that sounds like what I've been doing. I wonder where I've been going wrong, then :(

I'll probably be flashing VBlack with Aroma.

Maybe my mounts are wrong? I've been UMMU when flashing the rom but default on the others. Is that right?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Aroma will set the mounts for you. It makes flashing roms pretty much dummy proof.

When restoring apps are you restoring data also? IF so make sure it is for non system apps only. One other thing you can do is boot to recovery and run fix permissions. Sometimes a app will tickle another that messes permissions up when you installed it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizard7926:
Ah, didn't know Aroma set the mounts and everything.

I HAVE been restoring some system data, like my text message records under Dialer Storage. I hadn't had a problem with this before.. isn't that something we're able to do cleanly? Damn..

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

I starting using Titanium to restore the Dialer Storage backup when GoSMS would take literally hours to restore my texts.. I hadn't really had an issue (or maybe I was having deep-seeded issues that took a while to surface) before, but that seems like a likely culprit.

I mean, is that something that could be causing my MMS problems?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
That is a possibility. I use two app from the play store for restoring texts and call logs.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.smsbackup

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.CallLogBackupRestore

Restoring texts takes some time but let it do its thing that way you dont restore some wonky data.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizard7926:
Dang.. that's what I figured :\

But the Titanium restore is so fast! But.. but.. :D

Thanks to everyone for their help.. will report later on my findings, hopefully!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
If your at home and have dd-wrt intalled on your modem you can increase the output power for your modem.

Otherwise install a different modem from the thread here. It was mentioned earlier that we have a wonky wifi radio.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizard7926:
Well, I said I'd update, so..

Gremlin'd, wiped and installed VB-Final, and VB Booster. Used SMS Backup & Restore as recommended, that program is AWESOME. Easily and safely restored my SMS.

Can now send and receive MMS, however, I did freeze up playing Scramble With Friends, which I had restored app+data earlier. I also accidentally restored the app+data of "system app" Flash Player when I was going through, just missed the prompt that it was a "system app" when I was rifling through restoring my Titanium programs. So far, the only hiccup, but it made me have to reboot..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Scramble does that to me all the time. It will freeze or get so laggy I pull the battery and reboot. Glad all is working now man!

2) In general terms, what would be the necessary steps to convert a BML kernel (like AntonX's kernel) to MTD?

How do I get CWM?

I'm posting here first because, you guessed it, it's probably a stupid question!

Phone Info:

SGS4G T959V

GB 2.3.4

Kernel KJ6

Rooted running stock rom

(Before you ask if I'm actually rooted let me say yes, I am. Busybox is installed along with other root-access only apps)

I cannot get CWM recovery to run on my phone. I have scoured these forums and, while I have found tons of useful information, I have yet to see answer that specifically addresses my situation. The closest I've gotten is booting into CWM recovery but I was unable to access the options like disable Voodoo. I could se everything, just not use it. From there I would hear Linda's voice tell me there was not enough partitioned space. I am not knew to rooting and flashing custom roms in general, I am to this particular phone model. Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Thanks to everyone here who makes Android such an awesome experience and to your hard work.

It helps to have TRRS plugs (tip-ring-ring-sleeve..plug with '3' rings) as the pin-outs line up correctly. As TRRS connectors have 3 inputs/outputs. (ex. L/R Audio and Mic/Control button or in this case L/R Audio and Video) Using a TRS connector (a standard head phone connector normally will only contact the Audio pin-outs.)

Red in this case has been video out for all the cables I've tested as well.

This is more of a request then a question. Do you think with all your skills you could find a way to let people drag and drop all the other stupid questions from the forums into here? I'm not talking links I'm talking drag and drop. Think of it as a way to let users clean up there own house. Ya know let the mods have some downtime.

The only way to do this would be for a mod to move the questions. Or have the user copy paste. Then again the mods would have to delete the threads.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sistema1927:
During the longer backup do you see a list of all the files being backed up? If so, then that is what is taking so long. Take a .nomedia file, move it to your Clockworkmod directory, and rename it: .hidenandroidprogress

This should speed up your backup considerably.

i was rooted and decided to return my phone.

i used the heimdall one click to stock kj6.

i've noticed a "app shortcut" called bluetooth perm test in the app drawer.

what is this? i don't recall it being there when i purchased the phone.

with its existence, will it be proof that i modded the phone?

will i be ok returning the phone with this present?

T959V Connection Problem [Re-occuring]

Couldnt get help on the regular forum but maybe its a stupid question, so this is a repost. Please help. Original: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1672843

Stupid Problem: Cannot get my Samsung T959V to connect to the computer in order to flash/root. Always gives the same "USB Device Not Recognized" error when I plug it in to the computer.

My Progress: Before you guys throw this questions out, let me tell you what I have tried so far. I have been trying to get this damn thing connected to the computer for about 3 weeks now. I have sat down on my computer going through the xda forum in detail trying to find an answer. I know the process of flashing and the xda contributors have some great guides to help us along the way, a big thanks to all ur hard work, but no matter what, I cannot get the phone in download mode or get it connected to the computer.

* I have read the Download Mode post and tried all 5 ways without luck.

* Have read all things related to Keis Mini and how it sucks when it comes to the T959V and other ppl have had the same problem.

* Have tried connecting in Keis mode, usb debugging mode but still the same error.

If someone can help me get my phone connected to the computer, I am sure I can take of the rest since everything is available on the SGS4G Bible, thanks for that also.

Is there anything I have missed or not tried yet? Please help. Thanks in advance for anyone who reads this post as it is my first. Usually I don't have to post since all the documentation is always up-to-date and available but this problem is killing me

Additional Information: Bought the phone from a cell-phone store I use to work at. Has Android 2.3.6 on it. Have done the factory reset and tried to get it to connect, no luck. Not sure if it has been flashed before, pretty sure it hasnt but the flashed download mode method didnt work also. Have android-sdk installed and have tried pointing the .inf file to the google usb-drivers in the sdk, no luck. Download both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers for this phone from multiple locations, still no luck trying to connect. Have also tried multiple computers and multiple v9 cables, no luck.

Kernels

Ok, I've been doing a lot of reading like all the devs say you should do before posting. Regarding kernels, I get what they are and what they do, but I'm just not understanding something about them that I can't seem to find the answer to.

Can you use any kernel with any rom, as long as they are for the same firmware version (GB with GB, etc.)?

I'm currently on the VB rom (curiosity of Lumin's guide, thanks!) with the kernel that came with that, but it doesn't allow BLN to work and I was looking for a kernel that would.

Please set me straight if something I'm saying isn't making sense, but any help, advice or recommendations would be appreciated.
