It doesn't look like it did anything - <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

Did you get to download mode successfully?

I would attach some screenshots. I worked this through with other users having issues, but the best way was through google talk so I could help real time - but we have quite the time difference (plus I am not readily available for that sort of thing lest my wife coming close to killing me).

See if you can attach some screenshots of odin, confirm you are in download mode.
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:
Done now, went in the download mode as below

1-NO power to phone (turned off, NOT plugged in)

2-hold both volume buttons

3-insert usb

4-release volume buttons

Now my phone has GB

Thank you so much, will flash Slimbean and let you know.

Thanks once again for the support provided.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Great and no problem. Good bunch here - you have your phone back and volume should be working. You can now work on slimbean - remember to continue following the instructions and BACK UP YOUR EFS - you will lose it.
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:
Okay now I downloaded the Slimbean ROM and the Semaphore kernel file from http://www.semaphore.gr/kernels/Semaphore_JB_2.1.0s.zip

The ROM, kernel file and ES file explorer are copied to the internal SD card

But as per step 12 in post 2 the .tar file of the Semaphore kernel need to be place in Odin, I cannot locate the .tar file

Before flashing do I have to root? I have the backup of EFS folder.

Getting the below error in recovery during flashing slimbean

E:error in /mnt/sdcard/Slim-vibrantmtd-4.2.2.build.5-OFFICIAL.zip

(Status 0)

Installation aborted
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
try flashing it multiple times, errors are expected but usually its error 7, not 0.

Looks like you can get to the zip - so sdcard is mounted.
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:
Flashed more than 10 times but still the same error with status 0
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Flash CM 10 first.

http://get.cm/get/jenkins/12608/cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd.zip
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:
You mean to say I have to download CM10 from http://get.cm/get/jenkins/12608/cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd.zip then flash it and then then flash slimbean?
[Fascinate General] dgerryts:
Also the wrong zip file. You need the Galaxy S I9000 file.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
GREAT CATCH! Yes, you need to not use vibrant / t959 zips - they will not work right which was your issue.

Use the i9000 / galaxysmtd roms.

In terms of flashing CM first - this is what is recommended on the slimroms site - always remember to read the instructions for the ROM you are downloading (but ensure first its for the right device! :) )
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Yes BUT not that slim zip you have been using - its for the vibrant - you will just be back where you started.
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:
Okay now you mean I have to consider these files http://karmatose.org/t959d/i9000_KG3/ instead of the T959 zip file.

there are two files GT_I9000M_UGKG3_UGKG3_BMCKG3_Sbl.rar and KG3-CWM-Kernel.tar

I have to do Odin for KG3-CWM-Kernel.tar then flash CM10 then flash Slimbeam or else can you please mention step by step now what I must do

FYI I downloaded Slimbean as per the instruction in URL http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2060374&nocache=1

Can you please guide
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Download and use this one - plus note you will need to download gapps from the slimsite as well.

[Fascinate General] bindoksala:
Now I rebooted my phone since it was in recovery mode, but after rebooting it went into bootloop showing Semaphore.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Sorry - now I am getting lost - what are you trying to do?
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:
I followed the instruction in step 11,12 and 13 of post 2 in this thread

After the instruction mentioned in step 13 I was getting error
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
What was the error?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
And read step 14 ....

14. Follow the directions to install your ROM. CM9/10 comes in one flashable .zip file whereas SlimICS/SlimBean comes in multiple files. Consult the documentation for your ROM to get specifics on how to install it. N

ote that if you are installing CM10, CM10.1, Slim 3.x + that the partition layout has changed. This means you will need to flash the ROM at least 3 times - once you will get an error 7, then flash again, and then again - after that you will have latest.
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:
this was the error

Getting the below error in recovery during flashing slimbean

E:error in /mnt/sdcard/Slim-vibrantmtd-4.2.2.build.5-OFFICIAL.zip

(Status 0)

I did the Odin for semaphore kernel as mentioned in step 12

Following step 14 I tried flashing the ROM zip where the phone showed the above mentioned error.

But now what shall I do about the bootloop for semaphore?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Mab, and I'm still dead here. Cannot get GAPPS working at all, and no google play.

</not an iPad>
[Fascinate General] spacekobra:
Well time to start checking other roms out. Does the efs get lost everytime you flash an ics rom?
[Fascinate General] finneginsfast:
Not on WeUI.

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

I'm at a loss...I wish I knew what to tell you Jp. Did you do a clean install when you flashed this rom?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I came from ICSSGS and did a factory reset. That's about it. I didn't go through the hoops of back to stock, etc.

</not an iPad>
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
YouTube showed, couldn't update but Uninstalled reinstalled. Play showed up now and updated itself. Trying Matt's suggestion now on clear data on maps and play.

</not an iPad>
[Fascinate General] finneginsfast:
If that doesn't work I'd just do the whole thing over from scratch, real clean like. I know it's a PITA but that's most likely the closest thing to guaranteeing a good end result.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Yeah, that's where I'm headed but that will be another day.

</not an iPad>
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
So i think I have a problem with my phone.... I can't put it down lol. Right now, I've overclocked it, with no problems as of yet. Currently running at 1100 mhz, live OC at 110% and min freq of 220%. Stopped using the stock miui launcher, just too different for my liking but I'm using the apex launcher from the market, which is wicked fast IMO. If there are any icons that you don't like you can download them from xda and change them within apex.

Overall, this ROM is the best of both worlds with ics features and similarities, but with full customization (love the fact you can change the battery icon WITHOUT having to flash :) ) I'm impressed, I think I'm gonna stay with this for a little while.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Where do you change the battery look Matt?

I'm still stuck without the gaps update.can you let me know what version of maps you are on?
[Fascinate General] finneginsfast:
Jp, go to settings, full settings, battery, then battery indicator styles.

I've just gotten a gapps update and what a nightmare, I'm on version 6.5.0 of Google Maps by the way.

I think I'll never update again! :mad:
[Fascinate General] spacekobra:
I have to thank you guys again. I switched to semaphore 1.0.0 (no suffix) and now video playback is working again. You guys rock
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
@Finn a new update came out yesterday so you likely really do have a gapps update.

I think I'll flash back to stock clean today. Have to remember to grab my build.prop as well.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
NO problem!
[Fascinate General] cash2387:
Should be interesting to see what the base Build.Prop display's. I can upload my ICS one too to compare against.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I just copied it - I'm now on rooted stock 2.3.3 - more to come :)
[Fascinate General] finneginsfast:
I know, I installed it last night hence my "nightmare" reference last post! ;)
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Well, at least I know that's expected behaviour now :)

I tried reflashing after formatting the SD - looked OK but when I flashed 4209 it snookered PLAY and MAPS - go figure. Right now on 2.3.3 rooted so just have to get the updated recoveries on to try WEUI again.

So I'm as fresh as fresh can be at this point ... will see how that goes.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I"m getting about the same results coming from stock fresh to WEUI.

Install seems ok, need GAPPS update, then play doesn't work and I don't have latest on some apps.

Really odd. just reflashed the ROM, and hten added in GAPPS again. Still expecting the GAPPS message as everyone is getting it it seems (and I am as well - just came up).
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
@Matt / @Finn / @Buck

Hey guys - I think I'm chasing a red herring here. I have WeUI running (which is awesome) only thing bugging me is that I cannot update Maps for the life of me - I have version 6.5 when I install WeUI - 6.6 is in the market - but it won't update. Even when I uninstall with TB, I end up with Play saying incompatible update.

What version of Maps are you guys running? Have you seen this error too?

Just driving me batty. :)
[Fascinate General] finneginsfast:
Jp, I've got v6.5 and if it's gonna be that much of a hassle to upgrade, then I'm fine with what I got. I've also battled those updates a few times before, did a clean install last night so I'm not prepared to mess it up unless there's a nice easy, surefire way to do it. :D

Lemme know if you get it sorted though...
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
You are till trying to flash the vibrant ROM.

E:error in /mnt/sdcard/Slim-

vibrantmtd

-4.2.2.build.5-OFFICIAL.zip

FOr the bootloop, refer to step 13 I think - do a battery pull and use the 3 button combo to get back into recovery so you can flash a ROM.

Have you flashed CM10 yet?
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:
I am downloading the CM10 and the ROM, here net sucks a lot :( .

Can you suggest shall I start from the scratch i.e by flashing again GB using ODin and then following the step by step process?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Wouldn't hurt.
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:
Now my understanding upto now is that below I have to follow

1/ Root the GB ROM, backup the EFS folder

2/ Flash CM10 http://get.cm/get/jenkins/12608/cm-1...galaxysmtd.zip

3/ Flash Slim-galaxysmtd-4.2.2.build.5-OFFICIAL http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/do...ild-5-official

4/ Install the ES folder app and place back the EFS folder into root

5/ Flash Slim_Gapps.4.2.2.build.5.x http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/all/viewdownload/383-addons/2649-slim-gapps-4-2-2-build-5-x

And about the kernel which I have to download and when to flash?

Please insert the steps if needed
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Yeah - those steps are a bit messed up - I would have to review that along with the the steps from post 2. Don't have the time right now, maybe tonight.
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:
Okay no problem, here its 11.34 PM and my wife will kill me if I don't log off
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
FWIW:

don't use the files from this folder: http://karmatose.org/t959d/i9000_KG3/ < This is for the i9000, not the t959d.

DO USE THE FILES FROM THIS FOLDER: http://karmatose.org/t959d/stock_roms/
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Essentially I think you simplified the steps too much. Use post 2 and use that as your guide - but a few things to note from your list above:

- when you flash CM10 so all the steps in post 2 and flash that ROM. It comes with a kernel so you do not need to flash one OTHER than where it says to explicitly flash one in post 2 (for example, when you need semaphore 2.1.0).

- when you flash slim flash the ROM and gapps one after the other - you can restore EFS when you boot into the ROM, but I would do those two steps together.

- when flashing ANY new ROM in recovery remember to clear cache, clear dalvik, format system before you flash.

That *should* be enough to get you going.
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:
Was able to flash the ROM successfully.

The IME number was intact, so I didn't replace the EPS folder.

But now I cannot register to Vodafone carrier in India, I can see the service provider, but when I select Vodafone message is displayed "cannot connect to this network right now try again later" later the message was "your sim card doesn't allow connection to this network"
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Settings in efs. There is a root section.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
You may also need a modem.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Sounds to me like the phone is locked.

... Or you need to manually enter your apn settings for the carrier.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Right - if its locked to Telus, that will not work. You will need to unlock the phone - hadn't thought of that.
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:
How to unlock?

But my phone is working on GB

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

I entered APN manually and it accepted but cannot connect to carrier
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
If your phone is working fine on GB - then that is not the issue (locked/unlocked).

Can you send a screenshot of your 'about phone' screen. Its really hard to tell where you are at in the process and what you've done - but that screenshot will help. If we still have issues, you might have to put down what you did after every step in the process.

Also, make sure your IMEI is yours - and its not one of hte default ones that started with a string of 0s.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Not necessarily. It could have been unlocked using a tool like SGS Unlock which does some EFS hackery to get the phone unlocked. You have to re-unlock it each time you flash via that method.

I'm willing to bet that if you flashed a stock GB rom back, it still wouldn't work.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Right - I assumed he meant it was working on GB when he flashed the GB files from this thread - so again, I don't think we're getting all the information here.

When was it working on GB - originally or after you flashed the files from this thread?
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:
Yahooo u lost the bet I m replying from my phone and its working well

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

On eclairs and after flashing GB ALSo its working
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Maybe you should do a recap of where you are, what you have done and where you want to get to then.

Karma is more knowledgeable than I am - so not sure if flashing a new ROM might lose your unlock more so than going back to GB via the files he has made available.

But, and no offense, you are kind of all over the road a bit so its hard to tell where you are in the process - so a recap of where you are presently and where you want to be would be nice (including if you are on GB and if you have it rooted via the speedmod method in the OP2).
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:
I wont dare to offence anybody here coz of the best support u guys are providing

I just gave the information to you that my phone is workg on GB
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Yes - working on GB. So I guess answer these questions:

1) GB - did you upgrade to GB via Odin and the files in this thread?

2) Are you running GB now - is that where you are at or have you moved on?

3) In running GB, did you root via the method in Step 8 of the second post?

I think a picture of your 'about phone' will still be helpful.
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:
Yes upgraded to GB using odin and working well

But fyi now I m travelling and will update u later
[Fascinate General] wildblack:
Hi jpmccarthy!

I see you have a TF101 too ;)

Do you have trouble with the sound ? (Press or shake the tablet to fix it.. )
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Nope. Don't have that issue with it.
[Fascinate General] wildblack:
ok; i will try your configuration for the T959D ; iam currencly on Cyanogenmod (Jan 2013).. its very slowly.. i alrealy try a older version of SlimICS ; what is your impression about SlimBean ?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I like slim a lot. I'm still tweaking but it's very good IMO.
[Fascinate General] ratman1000000:
Hey there JP i have been a long time troll and you and Karma have been a great help playing with my t959d.

you mentioned when you went from slimbean 4.2 to 5 you did a lockhandle restore and i was wondering what that is?

I use titanium backup but was wondering if there is an faster way to restore apps and data when upgrading roms.

I was also wondering if you can tell me what settings you like to use in semaphore kernal that makes for a great smoot daily driver?

It has been a little slugish lately i am on slimbean build 4.2.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I'll add more later, but all the lock handle restore is is going back to stock jellybean for the lock icon
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Muchly appreciated!

I use TB pretty much - sometimes I go straight from the playstore. I think you can restore from TB using a nandroid, but I don't think its any faster.

I have my issues with slimbean as well - I wasn't getting texts yesterday - gets sluggish. Sometimes a reboot is all that is needed. Here's what I set in Semaphore plus a few other things.

Semaphore

- ondemand (smooth UI on, early demand on)

- ROW

- vibrator 50%

- 512 SD read ahead

- BLN

Also

- weekly 5.5

- SuperLauncher+ for W5.5

- LMK for launcher, keyboard, and LMK

- Greenifya lot of apps.
[Fascinate General] ratman1000000:
Hey thx for the info what is ROW and where do you set it.and what is LMK.

I am on Telus right now but after trying many modems i might need to switch to rogers as i am in a kind of dead spot where i live.

Might try a fresh install again to get it smooth i do find our phone lacking in Ram is the only reason i might get a new one one of these years.

Anyway Thanks again.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I used to be on rogers (with an iPhone) and their service was horrendous - especially in remote areas - but that was just my experience on the east coast.

ROW is a scheduler (2nd tab on Semaphore manager) so you can select it there. LMK whitelists certain apps so they don't get killed - little app/script manager add on for semaphore. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239262
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
My file repository is down for a while. I had a bit of a breach on the server and am taking steps to lock it down. When it comes back it will be password protected. Anyone can have the login info, but you'll have to PM me for it.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
So, here's what's what. I've reworked my webspace a bit and all the files can now be found at http://t959d.karmatose.org/

Here's the catch. I'm using a dropbox like service and there's a login now. As I said above, everyone can have the login credentials, but PM me for them. Just take a look in the 'Shared' folder for everything. Also, JP... If you'd like to add this to the OP, please do. Also, if you'd like you can pass out the credentials as well. If anyone wants a direct link to any of the files, PM me for that too.

I know this is a pain in the butt, but it keeps my site from being hotlinked all over the web and my bandwidth usage reasonable. Also hopefully it'll keep me flying under the radar a bit better.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I updated the OP as well put a note on a note as the embedded links are now four oh fours. Likely can update those later, but wanted to get latest in the OPs.

As an aside, running SB 5.7 with the superlauncher script - working amazingly well, but I do need to reboot every few days as Exchange mail has some issues.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
I'll look at the links required and generate direct share links for them.
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:

[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I updated the links to be direct - but you will still need to provide a user name and password.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Sent you the username and password to get the speedmod change. Follow the directions here absolutely - and remember, if you are suing SlimBean MAKE SURE you are using i9000/galaxysmtd ROMs ... AND ... Slim HIGHLY recommends on first flash to flash the latest CM10.1 release first (RC3 at the time of time of this post) - which also must be i9000/galaxysmtd.

Hello JP,

Followed the instruction in step 8, now I have the back up of EFS folder.

Copied all the relevant files in SD card.

Got speedmod-kernel-k16-11-Odin.tar and did the ODIN for it.

But when flashing CM10.1 RC3 getting error 7 flashed many times but the error is not going :( Below is the error

FYI the recovery is ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 SpeedMod Kernel
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Try flashing a few times. There should be a repartition so that error is expected
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Also I don't think you are following all the steps. Should be using a semaphore kernel to flash your rom. Speedmod is only for rooting
[Fascinate General] bindoksala:

Did everything right now but I am not able to paste the EFS folder to /, whenever I try to paste the system is giving error

Working good not exploring the slimbean :D

But one thing need to mention the signal strength is varying between -99 DBm to -107 DBm .

On stock GB the signal strength was varying between -69 to -90 .

Can you just throw so light on the above.
