Samsung Drivers?

i have Windows 8 Cutomer Preview Running on my PC but odin doesn't detect my Galaxy Gio.

i have installed the driver from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies\USB Drivers" but this doesn't helped me can u explain to me how to solve this?
[Windows 8 General] theangi:
Wow, thanks! I was woindering if that was possible. But did you first install usb driver using kies? Does kies works on win8? Or did you just plug the sgs2 into download mode and then started odin?

Thanks!
[Windows 8 General] JihadSquad:
I can confirm that ODIN works in win 8 with the droid charge. To the person who uses ODIN daily, what could you possibly be doing?

Does Odin also work in Win8 64bit with a Samsung Galaxy S?

Odin worked for me fine on Windows 8 Consumer Preview x64 for the Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000, but now on the Release Preview, the windows cannot recognise the phone ;/

does it work for you ?

I can't flash firmware on my galaxy gio using odin ... Any ideas? I have tried to install / reinstall / uninstall Kies a lot of times but it is of no use .. My phone doesn't get detected ... I have also installed the drivers for Samsung USB separately but still Odin can't detect phone in download mode. I can run adb devices and the phone shows up in the list when it is on.

Have you try restarting both PC & phone? Did you set USB Debugging to be on?

For my Samsung galaxy s3 I could not get Odin to work with windows 8. Odin would not recognized the OS. I reverted back to windows 7. 8 is not that great anyway.

For anyone having problems with ODIN on Windows 8, install the Samsung Mobile Drivers then plug in your phone. Your phone will then be detected and after the phone's driver is installed, start ODIN. Well, that's how I fixed my issue.

Hi, ive just tried s-off and rooting my HTC desire so that I can flash custom ROM's, this is my first time doing this ever and ive been studying it for weeks, I cant say I was calm about doing it, in fact I was bricking myself all the way through, however it seems to have gone well other than one slight thing.

After careful study I decided to go with a video and step-by-step insturctions on the unlockr site, including links to all the required files.

I have the Revo Stock hboot now and also have clockworkmod on my phone, I followed the root instructions to the letter as well as follow the video, however decided to use clockworkmod first to make a backup and restore image to my sdcard first incase anything went wrong, I then installed the superuser.zip file, it said this all went fine and installed successfully and enjoy, after a reboot of the phone, I have no superuser in the apps menu ?

Tried installing it again, once again it said successful and enjoy, but still no superuser in the apps menu ?

If I wanted to just root my phone again now, im not sure which way to do it as I now have a strange hboot version on my phone ?

Im also new to these forums and wasnt sure if this was the right place to post this, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I had a look on market and was gonn ask if that was the same superuser, so although I dont have the app yet am I pretty much still routed ?

I was gonna run unrevoked 3 last night to try and root a different way but thought i'd wait for a reply on this thread first, should I try that or is there no need ?

Just tried downloading superuser onto my phone then thought I test it, so I downloaded titanium backup too, when I ran titanium it said unable to gain root access, this program will not work, any clues anyone ? My info is above, and suggests that I'm rooted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
After using Revolutionary you have to flash this superuser.zip from recovery to get root access (you didn't do this, did you?:

http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip

So uninstall superuser and Titamnium Backup, boot into recovery, flash the superuser.zip and then try again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
Yes I did do this, my first post clearly states I tried this twice, then rebooted the phone, went into the apps menu and no superuser, so I tried to manually download superuser from market.

Although it says its installed and completed successful / enjoy, its like the root part of the whole process isn't taking effect ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TVTV:
You may not have enough free space on the /system partition and although the .zip reports a successfull installation, it may not install.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Okay sorry missed that. I recommend to ask Revolutionary in their IRC channel.

Sent from Sandvold's ICS using Transparent XDA App
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
Ok, how would I free up space on this partition, I take it you mean the phone rather than the SDcard ? I have most of my apps moved to the SDcard now, well the apps I can move anyway, some dont allow it.

I installed quick system info from market, it would appear out of the 250mb supplied I only have 70kb left, god knows where all this space has gone, but now im in catch 22, it would appear the reason I cant root is beacuse I dont have enough system space, but I cant delete any system apps cos im not rooted, any idea's anyone ?

Tried a reset of the phone but it didnt change anything in the system folder or available space.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TVTV:
Well, in layman's terms, the Desire has three user-visible partitions, excluding the SD card. Those are:

1) Data (/data): this is the partition where all your apps, app data, contacts and settings reside. This is also where the Dalvik-cache lives;

2) Cache (/cache): this partition is, as the name states, a cache partition;

3) System (/system): this is where your ROM resides. This is the partition where the .zip you're installing from Recovery is trying to copy its contents to, namely "Superuser.apk" and "su". In order for this procedure to succeed, you must have at least 900 kB free on this partition (Superuser.apk + su = ~860 kB, if you're trying to install Superuser 3.0.7).

If you're saying that you've checked the free space on your /system partition with a tool and it reports that you only have 70 kB free, that might be your problem. You can free up some space on the /system partition by deleting some files (which are safe to delete, namely some ringtones, a couple of wallpapers), but i must know what ROM are you using, first. Can you please provide that info?

P.S. - The above-mentioned procedure requires you to use ADB shell, so if you're not familiar with that or you just don't wanna mess with stuff like that, you can always install a pre-rooted ROM of your choice. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
Hi, thanks for the info, it was very helpful, the ROM details are below, to me its just the stock Froyo ROM, but ive since unlocked the phone, S-OFF'd it and installed CWM, the HBOOT has also changed.

Andriod version 2.2

BB version: 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14

Kernal version: 2.6.32.15-ge2c73db

htc-kernal@and18-2#1

Build number: 2.22.351.3 CL283825 release-keys

Software number 2.22.351.3

Browser version Webkit 3.1

Hope this helps

I was also thinking of installing a pre-rooted ROM to get past this, As this would be my first time doing this I wasnt too sure which one to go for, the one I fancied is called PyramidMod007_v11_b-STOCK, would this go straight on ? the radio required is pretty much the same as my existing radio.

As mentioned earlier, I have a strange HBOOT version on my phone now, those details are as follows:

HBOOT

(VOL UP ETC..............)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TVTV:
Nothing strange about your HBOOT. That's how it's supposed to "look" after using Revolutionary. ;)

So you're running stock HTC FroYo. The way i see it, you shouldn't even bother rooting your current ROM, as FroYo is obsolete and you should move to Gingerbread. Browse through the development section, pick a ROM that you like and install it via Recovery (you don't need root for that). Mind you, you need to carefully read the requirements for each ROM. For example, some are made for the stock /system size (250 MB), some are made for the Data++ /system size (180 MB) etc. Also, some ROMs will not work without an EXT 3/4 partition on the SD card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
Thanks, I proceeded to try a couple of rom's out, tried the pyramid one first, but my phone was very very laggy with it, next I flashed the revolution rom, absolutly loving this rom, gonna stick with it for a bit I think, battery is much better on it, its nice as smooth, and boot times are amazing compared to the stock rom as well as now being rooted too.

I went for the apps2sd+ version of this rom, working fine on my current radio, I created a 1gb EXT3 partition on my SDcard prior to flashing using clockwork mod just incase, it said it required it. :D

Thanks for all your help guys, was so scared of bricking my phone through all of this, everything goes on about the risks all the time, but it was no where near as bad as that, guess they have to inform you though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TVTV:
Well, the most dangerous procedures for your phone are when you're writing radios or HBOOTs. When you power up your phone, it first "boots" the Radio partition, then HBOOT and only afterwards it boots the kernel, OS etc. So if happen to frack up either one of these two partitions, Radio or HBOOT, you'll end up with a brick. Flashing ROMs or kernels, on the other hand, is perfectly safe. :)

Enjoy your "new" phone!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starable:
I wouldn't recommend the kindle fire. I have two. Sad is that there is no microSD expansion and ram is 512mb. At the end of format and OS storage you only have 4gb of storage to work with. Space is limited. While if you go for the Nook tablet which is the same price, you can get a microSD expansion and 1GB ram with all the same features of a kindle. I think that's better. Also the kindle only reads mobi ebooks. You already have a nook color which if u had books in them, they read different type from the kindle. Making that conversion can be a hassle.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daggy1985:
Coming from the Nook Color the Kindle Fire totally rocks and blows the socks of nook color, I was always somewhat dissatisfied with the performance of the nook color, the Kindle Fire is a fantastic upgrade. And rooting is fairly simply just look around the forums for the easy to follow instructions, I've been running cm7 as my daily driver for quite sometime, it's super stable. Enjoy your purchase.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appu1232:
I've had a Kindle Fire since about two days after it's release and I've tried many of the ROMs, including cm7 and cm9. Right now, I'm sticking with cm7 since it's the most stable ROM besides the stock. I'll make the switch to cm9 once they get HW UI Acceleration. Without that, most of my games freeze up along with some other apps. :( Hopefully the devs can get past that though.

I am sooooooo tired of this.

When I had 2.2 I had no issue, but, ever since I upgraded to Gingerbread (2.3) the screen will just turn on out of no where while I am on the phone and a lot of times my cheek will turn off the call or sometimes mute the call. It is so darn annoying.

Is there anything that can be done to fix this issue? I am sure I can't be alone with this.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Odin back to 2.2 and confirm that it is software and not your sensor that has gone bad.
[Epic 4G General] smoke_007:
My wife and I have the same phones and she compains of this too. I never have an issue with this on my phone. But, she can use my phone and have this problem. She also said she never had this problem on froyo, only after the gingerbread update.

I've tried installing several proximity sensor apps that are supposed to lock the phone when you put the phone to your ear. But not had the luck witht them that I was hoping for. The phone will lock, but the dialer stays on top of the lock screen. You are only taken to the lock screen after you hang up and the dialer goes away. Please let me know if someone has a solution like this that works!

I think the difference is how she holds the phone to here head. I've noticed her ear doesnt complete cover the proximity sensor all the way. She also likes to hold the entire phone screen tight to her cheek. I've tried to encourage her to hold the phone a little different, but she would rather that it just work for her. :) She also wants me to restore her phone back to froyo. I hate the idea of that. :)
[Epic 4G General] s89281b:
also make sure your screen is clean. perticaly around sensor. had a problem with screen not turning off when on phone once and as soon as cleaned screen problem went away.
[Epic 4G General] steviee7:
Just press the power button when your on a call so ths seen won't turn on
[Epic 4G General] smoke_007:
Yes, that's a good suggestion, but that wont always keep the screen off. I agree that it *should*.

To test, I call my voicemail.

Putting my finger over the proximity sensor will cause the screen to turn off. Now, lightly pressing the camera button to its half way point caused the screen to turn on. Pressing the volume buttons also turns the screen on. So, overly gripping the phone will turn on the screen.

Next test, turn off the screen with the power button. First call to VM, turn off screen with power button, screen stays off while I try to press volume button, but turns on with half press of camera button.

Seconds call, turn off screen with power button, screen turns on when pressing volume or camera button.

I continued making a few more test calls with these same mixed results. Finger over the proximity sensor always turns the screen off if it was on previously. I just can't get the screen to stay off during a call for my wife. I've tried to convince her she just needs to use a BT headset or wired one for long phone calls. She doesnt care for the solution. LOL. ;)

Thanks,

Its not your phone or apps, its Gingerbread for the epic. It has done this since day one for me and others. It particularly happens when you get a text message while on a call. The only thing you can do is if you see it light up, just pull away from your face and then back to it and it will go back off.
