Exactly, apps only. However, for a few of my games, I do restore data (worked so hard to get where I am with angry birds) and have not had any issue. But I never restore the data for system apps (and only restore 3 system apps at that).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Your RAM. It's like pulling the battery, to include the CMOS battery, out of your computer. Once the board looses power, everything stored in RAM or temp cache is erased.

This procedure basically does that. By holding the power button down, you are discharging the capacitors which can still provide small amounts of power to the BUS, RAM, etc even with the battery out (a capacitor stores electricty). Basically you are resetting the hardware.

This same porcedure is recommended with laptops from time to time to calibrate the battery. Unfortunately, manufactures normally don't tell you about this procedure untill you start having a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Yes, I know it is huge, but it includes a complete package that formats every partition, except your SDcard.

But it is deffinitely a gremlin remover! Where ever those pesky bastards are hiding, this package gets em all...lol

And yes, this is my lazy noob (the ones who flash away and don't follow the rules or the OP instructions to anything) proofing contribution
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] reddd123:
Wow really this works on laptops too? I am gonna have to try this tonight as right now I'm on my laptop, my laptop is first gen i7 gaming laptop a beast for its generation, I barely get 1 hour and 30 mins of battery and will be needing as much as I can for my new semester next week thanks!

Also about my phone its 10 minutes away from 2 hours and only 6% gone so far, yet to try your package I think removing the battery method worked?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
I think we finally found the problem to your battery drainage! YAY!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] reddd123:
I hope so too! I will take a screenshot of it when it runs for a decent amount of time and post it later and let you see if you can tell me if that's normal or not be great! After that I'll install the tweak.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jyl926:
I know this is kinda of a noob questions, and sorry if its in the wrong thread, which app do you guys use to test your battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] reddd123:
We don't use any we just goto settings about phone and look at battery chart.

Used this today just because Im paranoid and something didnt feel right with my current setup. Seems to have worked just fine.

Thanks mate this is a much needed application.

Hmm. Where'd you get Odin3Excution from? The filesize is huge! Enough for 3 roms man, what'd you throw in there?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Try flashing a different kernel...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Thanks again Thomas! I have to say, now that I've found this tool, I'm not scared to try new ROMS often now. This really makes it simple!

To the poster above, needing a fix, I'd recommend antonX's rc2 oc/uv kernel. Ever since I used it the first time, It's all I'll ever use on this device. No problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vincent1190:
Thank you for the suggestions guys. I realized that the Auto memory manager and memory optimizer app (not installed at the same time) may have been messing with my system and may the the reason for all the crashing. it still lags from time to time but it is not as bad as when the apps were installed and so I will try your suggestions to see if there are any improvements. As far as the the under volt and over clock, wouldn't it shorten the life of my cpu? I remember someone mentions that in a thread.

scratch that last one it still lags a lot lol. i say that its just runs fast more often then before which is not too much lol

Guys!

I tryed the 3st step and now my phone is like that!

HELP ME PLEASE! i want my SGS4G back :(

that pic i take from google but its the same screen in my phone.

what i have to do?

i connect to kies.. but don't do nothing!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] P06o:
That is a different version of download mode... Try again...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Read the OP. Get a drink of water, and read the OP again. Get another drink of water, come back, and as you are reading the OP a 3rd time, follow the steps for the 3rd section IN ORDER.

You are in an alternate download mode. Your phone is soft bricked, but easily recoverable with this tool.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xakuvo:
it would be awesome if you could make a 1-click heimdall .exe for this as well, odin is strange, the one click must be opened before you plug your phone in, either when its in d/l mode or to put it in. i prefer heimdall myself, but its easy enough to switch between drivers. heimdall drivers are considered outdated through windows driver update, and it updates to appropriate odin drivers, must be in d/l mode for usb to recognize.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
For the most part any of the one clicks bhundven has posted will do the same thing. I also think thomas has stated he doesnt use heimdall.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
True, true, and not quite true...lol

I use heimdall only when I am working in Linux as it works best and Odin is crap when in Linux mode (have to use wine, it looses connection, etc...)

I made the Odin 1-Click because at the time, I could not get heimdall to work properly on my POSWIN7 machine.

Bryan's Heimdall 1-Clicks work just as well as my Odin 1-Click...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
Hey man,

I was on the brink of restoring my phone to stock but finding this thread saved me bc the phone is/was working fine... but now it seems i'm going to have to proceed to step 3.

I'm a mac dude and want to avoid any computer related things with the phone if AT ALL possible.. ie, i'd like to download whatever i need to, put it in the phone and boot/load from the phone...

I downloaded the 420 mb file.. can I put it into my phone and restart/boot the phone and have that work?

thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
That will not work. You have to run the program on your computer

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
@umlaaat

Umm, the OP doesn't say to run it from your phone... As for being on a Mac machine, I think your best bet would be one of bryan's heimdall 1-clicks... Odin is designed for windows, and although I can get it to work on linx, I am not sure how to do so in OSX...

executed part 3 as a result of flashing a corrupted/incomplete zip (honestly.. sourceforge? urhr)

and now I cannot boot into CWM.. everything else is fine, it's back to stock, just can't boot into recovery, it's like CWM doesn't exist :/

EDIT; nvm, it finally went
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Ouch! Thomas this was a great tool. Sorry to see you remove it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] David1239:
This makes no sense, the program worked flawlessly. What are you not telling us ,Thomas?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
He told you in his other threads. Go take a look.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ChadBFlores:
Would you mind please narrowing it down, we only have about a 1,000 threads and he has only posted about 682 times, and there is only a few hundred posts about "Gremlin Remover" :p

Thanks lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I didn't say his other posts or other peoples' threads. I said Thomas' other threads. Use common sense. He has three main threads in the dev section that are all near the top of the dev forum.

He is also graciously re-uploading his work for us.

Thanks Thomas!

Every Galaxy S 4G has download mode available on bare stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Alarmmy:
It means you cannot restart to download mode by shortcut such as 'press power button and choose download mode'. However, you have to boot to download mode manually using vol up,vol down. I was confused like you when i first read the instruction.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
What does he mean by this? And what is the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
He means that the program has not been updated yet. He did not get the bugs out of the update he was working on. He was going to make a VB version, had a few bugs that he could not work out. The current version works fine.

It keeps failing. It will get to factoryfs.rfs and then it will fail. All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1) Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Re-download, upack zip (extract), start gr 1 click, remove battery from phone, plug phone in to computer, hold the volume up/down buttons and reinsert battery. you should now be in download mode, if not, repeat battery pull/plug in/insert battery, but this time hold all 3 buttons and you will deffinitely be in download mode. sit phone down and computer down (if on a laptop), hit start button on gr 1 click, walk away from computer and get a big glass of ice cold water/tea/soda. Enjoy water/tea/soda, then come back to phone and check.lol... ok the last part was a joke, but seriously, re-download the 1 click, start the application, plug phone in and boot to download mode, then start the flashing process...

I just received the following:

"This email is an automated notification from Dropbox that your Public links have been temporarily suspended for generating excessive traffic. Your Dropbox will continue to function normally with the exception of Public links.

This suspension is temporary (3 days for the first time)."

GR is the only thing in there and the mirror will be down for a few days.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
Re read his OP. Some guy started posting his own guide and linking his dropbox to his created thread without his permission or at least giving him credit. I actually love using this and I recently just lost the file to do it. If you get it back up i would at least change the link so it breaks his link. Anyway when this is back up I'm gonna put it on my google drive so i don't lose it again. Thanks for your hard work Thomas!!! Sorry there are dip sh*ts out there who want to be popular on other websites...

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
Heimdall one click fixes gremlins too. This one click uses an Odin method, heimdall is different.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
Yeah sure does but I miss odin. Always worked the first time on my phone. I hope it comes back one day. Until then I wait patiently. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
Heimdall is safer, from what I heard. Since Odin is Samsung software not allot of people know how the insides of it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
I realize it is safer but i have had no luck getting the drivers to install on my new asus laptop. It isn't recognized in heimdall but recognized in odin.

It's windows 7 and it gives me a different type of driver to install for heimdall. Not samsung related but something generic and seemingly unrelated. I don't need to use it now, so it's not bothering me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Pm me and I'll give you link
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
rbedell this is not heimdal based,this is an Odin based program so if Odin sees it then this 1 click will see it. Also this 1 click does a few things the heimdal 1 click won't do, like upgrade you from Froyo to GB. If you follow the OP you should have no problems what so ever. I use my Acer windows 7 64 bit laptop for most of my Odin, heimdal, and ADB needs. So it's not the laptop it may be the order of installation. However before I get to far and the angry XDA thread gods punish me for answering your question in the Dev thread not the q&a thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
Dude you are absolutely a tard. Heimdall uses different drivers. It comes with instructions to do so. Odin uses stock drivers to my understanding. I had no problem using Heimdall on XP but no luck on Windows 7. Read my post very carefully before you say I didn't follow instruction. My driver installation isn't giving me the samsung usb device. It gives me my webcam and two other generic device drivers and I will post a screenshot later. If i can use heimdall I will but I will need direction on getting the driver to work.

Edt: It recognizes in this order too. I don't need help with the program. I just wanted to show the drivers a different and Odin is recognized automatically v/s Heimdall.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
Heimdall can being you from froyo to gb.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
I'm On CM9... I just like the one click odin. It was a piece of cake every time. @th3controller I know this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
Dude do you always type before reading. I understand that, but this GR is Odin based! So if Odin works this will also. Duh stop trolling. Also if you're having problems with heimdall 1 click then go to the heimdall 1 click Q&A forum, or better yet pm bhundven, not the GR 1 click thread, you do know they are two completely different programs right? Beside If Windows is the problem do what everyone else does duel boot Ubuntu and run Heimdall from Ubuntu.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
This is what GR looks like notice the words Odin 3 Execution at the top right now the DL is down due to poachers steeling Tom's program. However he said he will give you the link if you pm him. It works on CM9 but only after you install the Generic Google ICS drivers reinstalling android SDK does that for you as long as you check the appropriate box..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
Th3 the one click can not it lacks the GB bootloaders, but yes heimdal can bring you from froyo to GB just not in one click.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
Read lumin30's guide. One-Clicks have the bootloaders... and this isn't the right thread for that discussion.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
/me looks at the sub-forum. Yep its teh dev forum.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
You are the Troll.

Of course I know this has nothing to do with Heimdall. If I wanted help with heimdall I would go to the thread. I you would read my posts from earlier than the past 2 days you would know that I am requesting this program specifically and not asking for help in the wrong thread... I remember your name. I think you got flamed in another thread for something. I don't need your help specifically unless you have the "One-Click Odin Gremlin Remover." I know exactly what I am asking for. I already pm-ed thomas.raines for a link if he is so kind to give me one. So stop cluttering a development forum. Have a nice day.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
I do have it but I am not poaching Thomas's program, if he wants you to have it he'll give to you. I am sorry if didn't look for your entire life story in this thread. I was just trying to help you I never insulted you nor did I flame you, it was you who started throwing insults. Yes there as an incident ironically about GR how ever it was talked through, and I was right. I'll leave it at this since this is a Dev thread. None of this helps Thomas to Dev this program.

so what exactly does this do? is there a certain order to the rewrite?

could i do something of the same with heimdall?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
They're the same thing but Heimdall puts you back to pure stock. You can flash another Heimdall package to get a custom recovery.

1-Click Gremlin remover is the same but it uses Samsung's Odin software as a base, using this will put you on 2.3.4 (or so I've heard) with a custom recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xakuvo:
im sorry i guess my question was vague. what versions of said files(pit kernel datafs etc.) is flashed, and in what order by the gremlin remover odin executable?

im not sure when kj6 2.3.6 was released

base firmware, accoring to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ is 2.2
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=800257

cool, moving on

So does Gremlin Remover flash KC1(pit, datafs, kernel, factoryfs, cachefs, etc.) firmware first?

then the app proceeds up the list? does it go through the different andriod versions? like skip KD1 because KC1 is already 2.2, just jump to 2.3.3?

i would like to mimic gremlin remover with heimdall, but i am unsure how gremlin remover works, so i would LOVE some more info on it

that is a good start, but there must be an order to the way things are flashed. And EVERY stock ROM? 600mb now seems a bit small, with an avg. of 200mb per rom.

i would like a definitive, comprehensive answer, i need to inquire to the aurthor, thomas
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Yes heimdall does the same thing as the odin one click. And for that matter as regular odin. Heimdall is the open source version of odin. However heimdall is a bit more picky than odin is on the variables needed to work properly. Meaning sometimes heimdall will not flash something odin will. But heimdall works on almost all pc based operating systems.

Now moving on you are asking questions in a development thread. They would better be answered in the Q&A section. Most people are gun shy about answering here because the mods have stated questions belong in the Q&A section.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Exit download mode by following the screen suggestions or holding the restart button until the phone restarts (depending on where you're at in the DL mode).

Sounds like you don't have the right driver installed though. Or you forgot to unplug/replug the phone after it went into download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] PuNeTZzZ:
i do! i unplug and replug the phone just like the other comment suggested but that message always appear!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
So... you don't have the right driver installed. Try a different one through zadig. Or removing all the existing ones and rerunning the one-click and seeing if it gets the right one. Or a different USB port.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
zadig is for Heimdall. Odin uses the Samsung drivers. Simplest way is to use different ports each for Odin, Heimdall and ADB.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
As I said... not the right one installed. ;)
