I don't think any rom is installed. It never got that far.

I first tried to update using this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542192

However the update failed. After that the phone was just going into a reboot loop when I tried to start it up. I then tried to flash a new rom in the hopes it would fix whatever problem the first failure caused. I was following this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098849

I was able to update the firmware from the linked page on that guide:

Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU

I then tried to flash the Android Revolution HD 6.5.2 rom. It failed and when i tried to reboot it just hangs as described above. I tried to use superwipe and it also fails. I am sure at this point it is obvious I am lost.

Option 1 is not an option as I don't have a backup.

Option 2 may be an option, but I apparently don't know what the correct firmware is.....

Thanks again for the help.

I went back into fastboot and then recovery and tried to use superwipe, but that failed.

Option 1 is a no go because I do not have a backup.
[HTC Sensation] Quakeworld:
Use this firmware instead.. it's worked well for me no matter which ICS rom I've installed..

Firmware from 3.24.401.1 & 3.25.401.101 RUU from http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1412618

Don't get it confused with the one you've already tried. Then after you flash that version of the firmware, remove it from sdcard and flash a rom. It's worked for me as it should for you as well.. Hope this helped.. I'm also assuming that you've Super CID your device....

if this helped, slap the thanks button... thanks
[HTC Sensation] bigheed:
Thanks. I will give it a try and report back.
[HTC Sensation] :
So still on stock rom, ie Gingerbread, since 2x flashes have failed?

If so, 3.12 is the correct firmware to get it to boot.
[HTC Sensation] bigheed:
I was not able to boot normally after installing this firmware, but it did allow me to complete the superwipe. That was failing beforehand. Once I was able to wipe the phone I was then able to install a rom. The phone is back up and running now. Thanks again for the help. I appreciate you guys taking the time.

Hello,

I installed Dark Knight 3 ICS for Galaxy S today, and I think it's very fast and looks very nice. But I can't restore my apps with Titanium Backup. I installed XXJVU 2.3.6, rooted and installed the rom. When I restore all the apps, it says completed but there are no apps added. When I pick one app and select restore App+Data, it says that it failed, when I pick restore App only, it says completed but still I can't find the app. When I try to install an app from te market, I get, translated from Dutch so I don't know what it says in English, 'Whatsapp Messenger' can not be downloaded because of an error. (-101). Can somebody please help me?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] unluckyleen:
Hi guys,

I am new to the forum and in need of considerable help.

I have a Tmobile Galaxy S 4g (not the SII). I had previously upgrade the phone to gingerbread 2.3.6, but last night I was trying to root it again to do a lag fix.

Unfortunately, I think I used the wrong root file - I used something for Galaxy S GT-19000. Now, whenever I try to start the phone it just switches back and forth from the Tmobile Galaxy S screen to the Galaxy S GT-19000.

I used ODIN to root it, and now I desperately need to return it to factory settings. Can anyone help?

I tried looking for original factory firmware, but I can only find it for the Galaxy SII. Would that even work?

Thanks - I would appreciate any help I can get!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Yeah, you flashed something for the Vibrant. If you have Java installed on your computer, then check out bhundven's Heimdall One-Click collection. The first one listed is pure stock. The 3rd one comes with a modded kernel, CWM, root, and voodoo lagfix.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Click the second link in my signature, follow the guide and you will good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
This is just a thought. Some people have signatures turned off. Maybe posting that link would be better. I recently turned them off because of a user that used the largest font available to ask people to suggest a phone for his birthday...yes you read that correct.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I put it in my signature for when I am on the XDA app. Haven't had one person mention not finding the link yet so not worried about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
No worries this is the first time I happened to notice I didnt see your signature.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] unluckyleen:
Hi guys,

Thanks for the help, but something doesn't seem to be working.

After I enter Zadig and install the driver, I close the zadig window. Then the instructions say to 'flash' once again in Heimdall, and then wait for the android to reboot.

However, nothing is happening. when I flash once again in Heimdall, it just takes me back to zadig to reinstall the drivers all over again. It seems to just be a loop. Am I doing something wrong?

I don't even get to these steps below:

1. When Heimdall One-Click is finished working - your phone will reboot. Linda will start speaking to you. Now you wait.

2. Wait longer - you will sit at the Galaxy S 4G splash screen while waiting.

3. When Linda is finished working her magic - you will hear her say [Voodoo Lagfix is now activated].
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You are reading the instructions correctly. After installing drivers it says -

Close Zadig window.

Now back in Heimdall One-Click - select [flash] and wait.

The part you quoted were the directions for after flashing bootloaders.

I recommend you start over - read the directions once - then read them again. The directions and pictures make it very clear. If something is not happening the way it says - and/or Heimdall One-Click hangs up - close it down, reboot your your computer and as I said - start over from the beginning.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] unluckyleen:
Hi Lumin,

Thanks for the help - I'm following the instructions exactly, and I've rebooted my computer. I'm still having the same problem.

After I close Zadig, and then I click flash again in Heimdall. All it does is take me back in zadig to reinstall the drivers.

when I'm in zadig, I have the option of 3 drivers. Could this have something to do with it?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] unluckyleen:
Ok - scratch that, I figured it out. I needed to install the winusb drivers, once I did that it was perfect.

If I followed this process completely, do I now have voodoolag fix?

I'm not sure what it means to flash bootloaders - was that needed to get voodoolag fix?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Yes you have Voodoo Lagfix. The guide when yoj need to flash bootloaders. If you get a rainbow screen when you boot your phone - you need to flash bootloaders. If your were on Gingerbread 2.3.6 before your started the guide - you don't need to flash bootloaders.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] angel200:
Hello Lumin, does this methord can work on other Android phone?

I am on GleanGB 1.1.2 with the EL30 modem.

Yesterday I was out and noticed I kept getting dropped calls. I did not think much about it. Today I am at home where I generally get 6 bars and have no trouble. I am in an excellent sprint area. Today the calls either drop after a few minutes, or I get an error message "Signal Lost".

I have not added any new programs on the phone. I have tried turning the phone off and on, and also bulled the battery.

I do not know if this matters, but Text messages have been fine, I can send them and receive them.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Probably is network maintenance on your area. If it don't clear up in a few days try odining to stock EL30 and see if that makes a difference.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSThing:
Yesterday my S2 wouldnt charge or be recognised by my pc, tried different chargers and usb leads but nothing. Different battery , still nothing. Briefly showing as charging with nothing plugged in. Plugged my usb jig in, this was recognised, and after I removed it I was able to charge via usb but the phone didnt beep or anything to say I had plugged the charger in. After I removed the usb lead my phone kept telling me it was still connected.

Factory reset hasnt changed things at all.

Took it in to the store I bought it from and they took it off for ten minutes and came back to say it was the charging port (duuuuuuuh) and that it would be replaced by 6 today. Problem is they are now saying they have changed the port and it is still the same:confused::confused: and that it now has to go back to Samsung for repair, taking at least two weeks.

Any ideas as to what else it could be?

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSThing:
I have spoken to the store again and first they said it needed a new motherboard and screen, then told me it was all soldered to each other which is why it all needed to be replaced.:confused:

[HTC Sensation] boroboy69r:
Here is what it says had to remove it as it was fcin
[HTC Sensation] deadnc34:
have the same problem with you..

ppl here suggest use root explorer, go tos system/data/app/ and search for a file with titanium backup odex extension and delete it.,

me myself, try to do those thing above but find no titanium backup extension..
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Next time use titanium backup to create an "update.zip" to flash right after you flash whatever rom you want. The update.zip is just the program to install onto your device so you don't have to hunt for the apk in the market.

I'll attach mine to see if it'll help.

I can confirm this behaviour. A friend of mine had a Verizon too he wanted to get the Argentine Personal firmware. He flashed with Windows and he got the code corrupt error. He started to try other roms until he got this same error. I took the phone and flash all the ROMs using sbf_tool on linux and the Personal worked fine.

If you install CWM recovery you can put the original Verizon firmware from the Verizon backup someone made on this post:

Is there a thread on how to root on a Mac? I've been looking for it but not able to find it.

BTW, I'm on Verizon.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Just check the manual methods for windows, but use "./" in front of the commands. There are no "one-click" methods for OSX to my knowledge. But its simple enough manually. Its only a few prompts to unlock the bootloader and/or push a few files.

If you need just ADB and Fastboot for OSX (so you don't have to install the SDK), I've attached them to this post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JGeZau:
I do like manual methods, I'll check them out and give them. Thank you for the file

Yup, use fastboot to do it. Do not forget the "./" it took me while to figure out that i needed to physically use ./ instead of just /

You can always unpack it with WinRAR. Or you can get 7-Zip.

[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
Well, yesterday was my first day using MeeGo OS on my new Nokia n9 and I have to say I absolutely love it. It is much smoother than I expected, it offers just about everything Android offers, it really focuses on the user experience, and the n9 is just an outstanding little device for any OS. Nokia essentially killed MeeGo with the introduction of their amazing windows phone devices, but my question is, "why not both?" I honestly feel that MeeGo could've been a serious contender amongst the Android tinkerers and wp7 is easily the most socially adept OS. They could have been the giants of the mobile industry once again. Does anyone else feel like MeeGo was a missed opportunity? I would've loved it on some lumia 900 hardware. They could've even continued releasing it on very similar hardware. Your thoughts?
[General Questions and Answers] deweini:
well, i got meego on my netbook when i bought it... and i quite instantly deleted it or rather exchanged it to suse.

i also wanted the n9 back in the days, but went with the samsung wave which got another "alternative" os installed.

but seeing bada is pretty much going down the drain right now i should have taken the n9, as you seem to be really happy with it! ^^

but i think thats always the problem with new os's that have yet to prove themselves against the allmighty ones like android and ios.

even windows phone is having a hard time.
[General Questions and Answers] crazyscow:
i use to play with maemo on my n900 and i loved it. still my favorite phone, but ya never got the chance to try the final release of meego. watched a couple of youtube reviews on it and looks great.

[General Questions and Answers] KayxGee1:
I think that MeeGo and WebOS (can be found on previous HP devices) both missed out. They could have equally made it big with the right advertising , pricing, and hardware.

[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
I don't think wp7 was a poor choice, I think the poor choice was not using it as just part of the repertoire.
[General Questions and Answers] syonatha:
AFAIK, Nokia cancel Meego phone as part of the deal with Microsoft, so they can license WP and get a special treatment to customize WP. Of course everybody know how's Microsoft's stance towards Linux, and Meego is based on (Debian) Linux.

Maemo, although is really good, suffer badly from Nokia internal politics. Nokia shipped the first Maemo device on 2005, that's 2 years earlier than the original iPhone(2007), 3 years earlier than iOS App Store (2008), 3 years earlier than the first Android handset (2008, HTC Dream G1). Instead pushing Maemo, Nokia release S60v5 and fail miserably. Meego lost its traction, because the development took too long.

So, Nokia had its chances.

The one that I don't really understand is why Intel, as the other benefactor of Meego, cancelled it also, and move to Tizen. And why there's no independent developer continue the development? The reference hardware is available (N9 and N900), the source code also available.
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
I agree. I mean MeeGo is as pure as linux on a phone comes. For a Linux developer it should be a cakewalk. Instead, a promising foundation is banished. I think with Maemo, it was a strong start, but a shaky foundation. Instead of operating on that like Android did, they started over.
[General Questions and Answers] zadox:
With companies like Intel, Nokia, and Novel behind Meego I never had high hopes for it.
