[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gio91ber:
it's a strange thing being an official rom but i've used it for the whole day and my phone: started rebooting itself (happened many times during the afternoon) and then it formatted my external micro sd card! still hoping to bring back any of my photos with testdisk/photorec...

don't really know why all this happened but now i've installed the original italian rom so that i can send it to product service if the problem is not a software but a hardware one...

so... be careful and backup all ur external sd cards

UPDATE: just a few secs after writing this reply my phone just rebooted by itself... it's definitely an hardware problem... ****! (the problem is also that the boot in locked in a loop...)

That's the date of the fw build.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] erik07:
Changelog for XXKPU anyone? Im having second thoughts if i'll update from XXKPN to XXKPU.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] drajax:
Kpn? That's such an ancient fw, u should really consider upgrading to at least KPQ or KPU, ASAP

☞★sent from drajax's Galaxy SL!!! *♂ツ
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] erik07:
Haha. Yes it is, it was just because i heard the wifi problem in kpq that is why i was discouraged, but if i know the changelog of kpu, at least from the experience from users. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pulsar_swift:
There is still wifi drop with XXKPU. Workaround is to use static ip
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
I'm not sure if it's UC-Kernel or XXKPU, but this ROM can't go a day without a reboot or mobile data disappearing until it's rebooted. Gonna go back on XXKPM. :P
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Namaless:
Try clear cache and dalvik. If don't working try to factory reset. Wifi and 3g working property when I tested.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
I've tried that and it can go for almost a day without any issues, but just starts mucking up for no reason given enough time. Might go back when i get the chance and see if it still happens. :/
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ilcorsaronero:
Took just the modem from this whole package, since I don't want to reflash. Modem works a lot better than DDKP3 did: it's faster to get the line, the 3g connection is more reliable.

This considerations apply for sure in Italy with Vodafone, where I'm testing it out. Don't know about elsewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] batibot:
can anyone post xxkpu stock kernel. please. thanks.

Is there any 1%MOD compatible with KPU?

EDIT

I have modify buil.prop with tipical lines (system, battery, media...) and I am using it right now. I think everithing is much better now. :) Here you are!

Just mount R/W, rename the original one to build.prop.bak in /system, copy mine, unmount R/W and reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] popej:
I have flashed yesterday XXKPU directly over Froyo XXKB3. I have reseted it before and after flashing. Only single flash and so far no problems.

I'm surprised seeing so many recommendation to flash XXKPE first. This was a buggy developer version, wasn't it? And when using kies, does it flash KPE too? I was never able to update by kies, but somehow I doubt it use anything other than official releases.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] seizmos:
Xxkpe have bootloader for gb,because this is important first flash this rom bro.

TT by galaxy S SCL
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] popej:
So actually what I'm missing? Would you care to explain what problems can I expect without bootloader for GB? So far I haven't found any, but maybe I don't know what to look for.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] luiseteyo:
The bootloader let the phone get started... If you have a problem and there is no bootloader you will have a problem

I don't understand your post. Have you noticed, that I already have flashed my phone and it boots correctly?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] luiseteyo:
Of course, and have you notice that if devs and experts in this forum say you to flash kpe first with bootloader and then your firmware, and you flash the last release over froyo you are doing things wrong?

Sometimes, with a hard brick and a bootloader you can revive your phone. Hope you don't have one...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] popej:
Well, I noticed a number of experts recommending to flash leaked developer version, which is odd, isn't it? An in my opinion wrong.

Since I'm not an expert, I asked for explanation. I still hope someone can give a reason for this unusual procedure.

About bootloader - I haven't flashed this part, it should remain intact. Why do you suggest I have none? Would a phone start without bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] hjs89:
I don't know why exactly, but when I use your build.prop the icons in the statusbar have low quality, easyly to appreciate. Have you this issue?

Thanks nama. :)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
What is a bootloader ?

In literal terms, bootloader is code that is executed before any Operating System starts to run. The concept of bootloaders is universal to virtually all Operating systems that inculcates operating systems on your PC, laptop, smartphones, and other such devices. Bootloaders basically package the instructions to boot operating system kernel and most of them also have their own debugging or modification environment. As the bootloader kicks off before any piece of software on your device, it makes it extremely processor specific and every motherboard has it’s own bootloader. This is one reason that all Android phones have different Custom ROMS developed due to high variance of processing hardware present on the device. The iDevices running iOS somewhat share the same hardware specs and hence you don’t see much variance in their bootloaders.

Android Phone Bootloaders ?

Every Android phone has a bootloader that instructs the operating system kernel to boot normally. But you need to understand one thing here that as Android OS is an open source OS and is available on a variety of different hardware, every manufacturer has their own version of bootloader specific for the hardware present in it’s environment. We also saw couple of weeks back that Motorola packaged an “eFuse” command in their Android phones, which could brick (permanently turn off) your device in case you tried to flash a Custom ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] popej:
Thanks, you confirm my understanding of bootloader function.

Now my main question, why do we need to flash XXKPE befor XXKPU?

I think this is useless procedure. XXKPU contains in single PDA file all parts that come with 4 files in XXKPE. Inside PDA form XXKPU there is bootloader, modem and CSC. Most probably whole XXKPE is overwritten by flashing PDA from XXKPU.

You can save some work flashing XXKPU directly over XXKB3 or maybe even over any other version. I have checked, that flashing over XXKB3 works smoothly.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] popej:
Have you no other arguments in this discussion? lol

I have successfully flashed XXKPU over XXKB3. It simply works as expected, single flashing, no problems. So please give facts if you think there is something wrong with it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shriom_manerker:
ur on a FROYO bootlooder with gingerbread ! just wait a while :) u'll c what'll happen :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] popej:
I assume, you would tell what could happen, if you knew it.

If you care to analyze content of XXKPU, you will find, that it include full bootloader. So what is the problem?

Edit: I have checked: on the phone there is primitive and secondary bootloader probably from XXKB3. Version is the same (3.0) only compilation date different. Question still remains unanswered - what is the difference, shell I flash bootloader form XXKPU or leave it as it is, since it's working.

No changelog?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fooman123:
I would just keep it as is -- flashing directly from KB3, while not something I would have done - is actually useful. I had idea that it would probably work giving kies updates from 2.2 to 2.3 usually work without issues. The function of bootloaders is just to get the OS on its feet - once it up and running - they are out of the picture.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] popej:
Yes, I will leave current bootloader. Phone starts without problems and recovery mode works too.

I'm only curious, why bootloader wasn't flashed form PDA file. Maybe Kies has a way to force flash of this parts? Or maybe odin flash bootloader only form BOOT file?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] umarian:
If upgrade with KIES then bootloader is flash by KIES.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] appkiller:
If you have flashed kpe once, you don't need to flash again.and also you can omit step 2. Because v5 also root your phone ;). And it is OK just go on. But I can say led doesn't work I just now noticed this. But flash this rom I think you will say "I don't need led cause it's really fast " ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grannypotts:
Last week, my SGN tried to commit suicide by jumping face first from a ~4 foot shelf onto the hard concrete floor in my garage. Fortunately the phone survived and was otherwise 100% functional, but the glass was completely shattered.

I was able to use an upgrade I had for another line to purchase a second Nexus at a heavily discounted corporate price. :)

Later that I day, I discovered this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1474979

…where I learned that I was able to ship the Nexus to Samsung directly for glass repair.

So in the next week or two, I be receiving my original Galaxy Nexus back to me in perfect re-furbished condition. So what should I do with it:

Sell it?

What is the market for these phones out of contract? Would somebody be willing to pay ~$400 for a complete SGN with LTE sim card?

Give it to the wife?

Nah, she barely uses the DroidX I gave her back in December.

Convert to a desktop Android?

Buy an MHL cable, BlueTooth keyboard / mouse and a new monitor; and then use for general surfing and billpaying?

Keep it as a backup for the next time the phone is dropped and the glass shatters?

I’m leaning towards selling it myself, but I’m not convinced somebody is willing to spend this much for a phone from an otherwise unknown seller.

Thoughts?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j_mullet:
I am finding this quite odd. I seem to have 2 folders named Download and download. One has a capital "D" the other lowercase. It would seem there are duplicates of several folders once in CWM. Only one of them is accessible from within the rom, and its the one without the downloaded files. The only way to view both, and the most recently downloaded items it would seem is through CWM. This is both odd, and frustrating. Anybody else experiencing this?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
yepp. kind of strange but doesn't really bother me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Qortez1:
I've seen the same thing and the weird thing is when I connect my phone to my comp the lowercase "d" folder doesn't show up...the only way I can get files from it is by using root explorer and moving the file to the regular uppercase "D" Download folder...it seems like any browser besides the stock browser saves files in the lowercase download folder
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
Yep seen this ,I erased the one with lowercase d and it never came back ( pulled what I thought I needed out of it first )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t0ny7:
My GNEX uses ext4 for the sdcard file system. Ext4 is case insensitive so "download" and "Download" are two different folders.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydera5:
I believe the lowercase downloads is the systems while the "uppercase" Downloads was created by an app... I have the same thing and my uppercase one is empty.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
I've spent a couple days searching, but there doesn't appear to be a relevant enough thread to help me here, so I've resorted to asking for help, hopefully you guys can help me figure this out.

I got my girlfriend a used Telus SGH-T959D (same thing as the T-mobile version pretty well) several months back. It was on stock 2.1 and worked fine but was very laggy compared to my rooted HTC Desire on oxygen 2.3.2. So I rooted it and installed a 2.2 rom with Voodoo sound control (but no lagfix), and she's been using it this way for months now. It was better than stock but still laggy. I can't remember what rom it was but it was based on Samsuck firmware, hence why it's still laggy I guess.

For some reason, when I originally rooted it I had trouble with CWM recovery not installing, I can't even remember now what exactly was happening, but I managed to get the rom installed without a proper custom recovery, so when I go into recovery it's just the stock Samsung recovery, with no options for nandroid backup, restore, flash zip from sd card, etc. Basically I can't do anything useful in recovery.

Anyways lately, worse and worse she has been getting the Android text message to wrong recipient bug. If you aren't aware of it, it causes messages you sent to go to a different person in your text message message list. No it is not user error.

So I decided to try and data wipe. After this there is basically no launcher when it boots up. The notification pulldown is there and working, and it shows the phone has a signal and wifi is turning on and working, capacitive buttons light up when you press them, but you can't do anything except grab the pulldown.

It won't connect to USB when booted up, phone shows a message that you must close running processes first, or something like that. But I cannot flash a rom from recovery anyways, since it only brings up a stock recovery.

I can get it into download mode, if I hold my tongue just right and try several times, but not sure what to try to flash with Odin. I already downloaded an ICS Passion rom, but then reading the tutorial saw that I must first download CM7 and install that, then upgrade the bootloaders to the GB ones, then flash the ICS rom. I would really like to at least upgrade to 2.3 and something not based on Samsung fw, but the main priority is to get it working again.

Anyways, whatever you guys can suggest to try would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
Honestly bro, everything I'm seeing in Google makes it seem like that phone is more on par with the Galaxy S Fascinate than with our Vibrant. Although on the exterior they all look so similar... I dunno, maybe check out their forums and see if you get anymore help there?

Here's the link:http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=718

Goodluck!:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciditin:
The title of this thread looks similar to my problem with my Samsung Vibrant. So I would ask it here, too.

I'm not sure if I bricked my vibrant, it's still power up, only to to first screen, which has the words Vibrant (and) Samsung and stay there forever.

I first rooted my Vibrant successfully.

Then, I've followed the instructions below:

1. Download the latest version of the ROM from the original development page.

2. Transfer the downloaded zip file to the root of the internal SD card on your phone.

3. Turn off your phone and wait for complete shutdown (wait for capacitive button lights to go off).

4. Then, boot into Clockworkmod (CWM) recovery. To do so, press and hold these 3 buttons together: Volume Up, Volume Down, & the Power button till the screen turns on, then let go of the buttons. In recovery, use Volume keys to scroll up and down and power key to select an option.

5. Perform a full Wipe (this will not wipe your SD cards)

a. Wipe data / factory reset –> then Select Yes - Wipe data/Factory reset on the next screen.

b. Select “mounts and storage“, then select “format system” -> select “Yes” on next screen to confirm. Then, select “go back” to go back to the main recovery menu.

6. Now scroll to “Install zip from sdcard” and select it.

7. Select “Choose zip from sdcard”. Scroll to the file you transferred in Step 2 and select it.

8. Now confirm installation by selecting “Yes — Install **your_rom_file_name**.zip – The ROM will start installing.

9. The phone will reboot to recovery in the middle of the installation, then continue installing the ROM.

When I got to step 7, instead of running the zip file downloaded on step 1. I run the update.zip (something like that). And I couldn't get back to the CWM recovery screen anymore. Only I can boot it to the regular recovery screen, where it let you:

reboot the system

reinstall packages

delete all user data

delete cache data.

Or boot up to the screen described at the beginning of this post.

So what should/can do to fix this problem?

I think my phone is t959 (it's t-mobile Samsung Vibrant)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
Thanks for the reply. As far as I thought the only similarity between this and the at t fascinate was the name fascinate. There's is the i5000 and mine is the t959d? Should this post be moved over there? I found a thread there with someone having partly. the same issue as mine not being able to install cwm but its been there for days and likely will not be replied to.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmundy:
I've spent a lot of time trying to fix messed-up installs. Seems to me that if for any reason you can't rrflash the rom, or reflashing and wiping doesn't work, just Odin-ing back to JFD and going from there is the best bet.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
Well I was about to go ahead and download stock JFD and try flashing that but it appears that Mega upload has been shutdown by the FBI for fraudulent activity, and Rapid share is not working either. Maybe they're too busy because of the mega Upload shutdown or they were owned by the same people and have also been shut down. So now I'm not sure where to even find files that are safe to flash.
