[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CatalystWon:
After you restore your phone to KG3 via Odin/Download mode per Black Rose's link earlier in this thread, you should be back where you started on KG3.

Then from KG3 ( 2.3.3),

I suggest:

1) Use SuperOneClick to root your phone (SuperOneClick can also UNroot your phone later if you want).

2) Use Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz available on the G-store.

This worked well for me with no problems.

And just for reassurance, NEVER flash a ROM that is not explicitly for the i9000/i9000M to this device.

Just picked up my one X from FedEx. Im still waiting for SIM card from StraightTalk.

Im trying to set up WIFI. When I go to type in the password the connect button is greyed out even after I type in anything.

Am I crazy...

any ideas?
[HTC One X] jfrock25:
Well it turns out it has to have 8 characters for the connect button to become active.

I work at a post-house and the password is 6 letters long. They make it easy because we have clients in/out all day long.

Is there a way to override this?

What the hell.
[HTC Sensation] taffytim:
please dont shout, just take pitty on me.

I have been getting into the world of rooting and have used the HTC Bootloader unlock, and have installed clockwork. i then had a few issues but managed to get some roms working but Im still not fully understanding exactly what im doing.

but i can flash by:

1. Power on'ing and vol down,

2. fastboot - bootloader - loading PG58IMG

3. recovery -wipe data/factory reset - yes

4. install zip from sdcard - chose zip from sdcard - Sensation_3.32.401.5_deodexed - Yes

5. wait for: install from sdcard complete

7. go back - rebootsystem now

Ive tried a few roms, 2 didnt work but this is the 3rd (Sensation_3.32.401.5_deodexed) that has loaded up.

My issue is I dont get how to get my wireless to work. If someone could give simple instructions Id be more than helpfl as all guides i read are too full of jargon. . . . .im not afraid to hit your thanks buttons . . .

Thanks

Tim

PS

my cid is VADAP001

my MID is PG5813000
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Are you talking about wifi?

Have you got a router?

:)
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
When you use HTC Dev to unlocj your bootloader it does unlock the Recovery, System, and Boot partitions to allow your device to write to those partitions and not just read rose partitions. But Terri is a catch, if you want to flash a custom recovery you have to use ABD fastoot commands to flash it. When you flash as ROM in a .zip file via Recovery, it only flashes the System partition. You then have to open the dot zip file and extract the boot.img and then use ADB fastboot commands to flash the boot.img to your boot partition. If you do not you will still have the boot.img of the ROM you was using before you flashed te New ROM.

Now let me explain the boot.img a little so you know why it is so important. The boot.img does just watt te name implies, it is what boots the Android ROM on your device. Now let me explain this a little further, the Android OS runs on top of eat is called a Lenox kernel. This means that your bootloader boots the Lenox kernel and the hardware of the device. The Lenox kernel then boots the Android OS. The kernel is also te connection between the hardware and the Android OS. So you see if the kernel is not compatible with the system that is on te system partition you will have troubles like WiFi not working or other I hardware reliant functions. So when you flash a new ROM and you are HTC Dev unlocked you will have to flash the boot.img for te ROM are you will more than likely have troubles.
[HTC Sensation] taffytim:
Malybru, i do have a router but my wifi wont turn on so i cant connect to it.
[HTC Sensation] taffytim:
That is very informative thanks T-Macgnolia. I understand the theorybut i cant work out the process?

How do i get to flash the boot image?

If i go into my rom folder on my pc then try to open the boot file i just get a Windows Disc Image Burner message box asking me to burn to disc.

I used to burn images using virtal drives when making dvds. Will i need to do the same again here with a virtual drive?

Can you break the process down for me?
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
First you have to download and install the Android SDK. Here is a video by Elite Recognized Developer Adam Outler that shows you how to install the Android SDK. After you have the SDK installed and all the packages are downloaded and installed. Take the boot.img and copy it to the same folder in ADB that has fastboot in it. Now while you are in the folder with fastboot in it hold down the shift key and right click anywhere on the screen and select "open command promt here". This will open a command promt with you already on the right directory. Now boot your Sensation into Hboot by holding the volume down button down while booting your Sensation. when in Hboot select fastboot and connect your Sensation to your computer with your USB cable. Now type the following into the command promt.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

That is all it is to it. Also the boot.img is a iso file that is why you get that message when you try to open it. You have to use a Android kitchen or another program that can decompile the file if you want to open it and look around.
[HTC Sensation] taffytim:
You sir deserve a big pint of something great. Point by point I:

1. I already had sdk installed so didnt need to install this.

2. I cleared the phone back to factory with Recovery (Power on with holding -Vol, RECOVERY, Wipe data/Factory Reset, Power Off)

3. I went into HBOOT (by powering on holding down -vol)

4. Opened FASTBOOT and connected phone to computer via USB

5. Opened up command prompt on PC (start menu, typed cmd in the search box)

6. I then Typed the following:

7. "cd c:\Android" (to get me into the folder where my files are)

8. "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

9. this then loaded my boot file and bosh, Im done.

I then restarted the phone and bobs your mothers brother Im using wiresless again. Its such an easy process but on the first go it seems like rocket science.

You cant appreciate how greatful i am for your help. Thank you more than a lot.

If i chose a different ROM at what point is it best to do this stage? Are you able to do this to the boot image before you use recovery to 'insatll zip from sd card'? Or do you have to install then come back to it like i did?

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
For every custom rom you install you need to follow the same procedure.

1. First flash/install the rom via recovery

2. Get the boot.img and flash it via fastboot (some rom's have more than one kernel then choose the best you want)

As long as you stay in HTC unlocked bootloader the above steps are necessary to flash the rom completely to prevent bootloops and wifi errors

Thanks this post helped me a lot!

I got Android Revolution fully working, but I'm trying to flash the newest OC Kernel of SebastianFM over it. But his zip doesn't have a "boot.img", it does however contain the following: mkbootimg, mkbootimg.sh and unpackbootimg. Is it any of those I need to flash, if not, which "boot.img" do I flash then?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I believe the boot.img refers to the ROM you are flashing.

This is a kernel.

So,make a nandroid backup,

wipe cache and dalvik,

and flash the kernel from the root of the sd card,choosing install zip from sd card in recovery.

:)
[HTC Sensation] -Asskicker-:
Yeah, that isn't working. :(

Wifi ain't working now.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Just restore the nandroid backup you made.

:)
[HTC Sensation] -Asskicker-:
Yeah, but I wanted to update to newest kernel. Thanks though :)
[HTC Sensation] theumairahmad:
Doesn't work with me.

I tried this with OrDroid and ViperS laterst versions and the wifi still doesnot work with my device.

It does nor even turn on from the settings, someone please help!

Wi-Fi Issues

Post 3 in this thread explains exactly where the problem is. But ........you will never unlock that boot partition if ur phone is S-ON. The trick with the wire works...it took me couple of times to do it but it worked. Then.....the lates ViperS version does it for you. You do not have to use ADB or whatever that program was to flash the boot.img It is all in the ROM. I even flashed the newest bricked 1.4 kernel on top.....but that 3rd comment is the key to all problems with Wi-Fi and other kernel issues:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

What do we have to do before flashing official ICS?

In my case, I am with rooted 3.2.1.. can I update without risk? or I have to downgrade and install official (non-rooted) 3.2.1?

Also, I have deleted some stock apps, is there gonna be any problem with that?

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] N.Miranda:
Same question here :-) , I have read in other post that if I have CWM installed there could be some problems with the update.

I'm running a rooted stock rom 3.2.1 too, So can anyone of you upload an ICS rooted stock rom to install it by CWM?

Thanks in advance!
[Acer Iconia A500] no-success:
I'm also a little confused. I just installed stock unrooted rom from acer recovery and tried to do the update but it failed. Any pointers?

I can't flash any custom rom..after rebooting i see samsung logo and then black screen.

I ve tried moonrom 1.4 and broodrom rc5..and it didn't work also installing single skyhigh kernel..

always same problem..black screen after rebooting system after flashing, both by recovery and odin..

i have to restore the nandroid backup to make cell working again..

i could only flash stock 2.3.6 value pack rom..this worked..

why have i this problem?

i always do dalvik cache data wipes..

mhhh you send your posts from GT9001. Do you maybe try to use a ROM for a GT9000 to flash it on a GT9001 ? Maybe this could be your main Problem !?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Cynob84:
1st post, hello there :)

could it be that that custom roms uses a overclocked Kernel at startup? Some people told me the same of their phones when i released my rom with standard 1,8Ghz @boot.

Give it a try and paste a nonOC Custom kernel in your flashfile for odin. just "update" the boot.img in it and delete the .md5 in its filename.

Sorry for the bad english :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicflames:
Thank u for the answer..it can be..i m sure skyhigh kernel is OC and broodrom rc5 has it..

But with moonrom i very installed vitality 26 23 kernel..is that OC?

Inviato dal mio GT-I9001 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lokian69:
Did you flash moonrom via recovery? You must not flash it through odin.

Yes vitality is Oc'd @1.8
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicflames:
I flashed it throught recovery..

So as cynob84 said i should try to.flash a non OC kernel..which custom rom should i try?

and can u explain me better the passages of update boot.img and delete .md5 in the filename?

thank you..

Inviato dal mio GT-I9001 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lokian69:
Okay try this:

1. Flash xxxkqb

2. Flash faemod v1.2

3. Flash deodex'd xxxkqb( www8.zippyshare.com/v/49143861/file.html)

4. Put moonrom 4.1 .zip( do NOT extract) on your sdcard

5. I repeat do NOT extract the zip file.

6. in feamod flash the zip and you should go into aroma installer

7. Custom install and select your preferences( there are non Oc'd kernals there (feamod & stock) but I strongly recomend you try skyhigh or vitality first)

Remember to hard reset!

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicflames:
Thanks for the answer.

What is the difference of what you say and what i did? The deodexed xxxkbq?

And for you is this the problem?

Cynob84 said it's because of the OC kernel..

So what should i do?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kunalwanvari:
as far as i know u most definiteley need a deodexed stock rom to flash custom roms !

aslo in case of of oc kernel try feacore non oc kernel !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicflames:
I think it s a OC kernel problem..my device dont support it..can be?

And why i need a deodexed rom? i hear about people that flash a custom rom but they have stock rom..not deodexed..

Inviato dal mio GT-I9001 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kunalwanvari:
Look bro stock rom are of 2types odexed and deodexed .. Deodexing simply allows u to remove widgets and apks individually.and greatly reduces the space the rom uses..and iv read on many theads that its required to deodex to use a custom rom..read the guide for noobs sticky on i9001dev tjread..

Now regarding oc/uv my friends i9001 dsnt support it too !

dunno y but apparebtly many devices dont support overclocking..and in my opinion ur bettr off at the std 1.4ghz

U may use the build.prop n init.d script changes as given in many custom roms and improve performance..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicflames:
I ve discovered that the problem is really that i can't install oc/uv kernels......but why my decide doesn't support them??? there is a way to fix it?

Thank you

[HTC Sensation] Raiderz8418:
I am currently using titanium backup which I'm assuming most of you do as well, however its a quite tedious process restoring all my apps, it asks me individually to install every app which takes a very long time depending on how many apps you are restoring.

With the developing section constantly streaming new updates and roms, how does one keep up with the restoring? I must be missing something here, do you guys all have to install your restored apps one by one?

There must be a simpler way right? I know that if you dont do a full wipe that your apps and settings stay but i find myself switching roms alot which do require full wipes.
[HTC Sensation] runderekrun:
If your rooted and buy titanium it will reinstall your apps without going one by one.
[HTC Sensation] Raiderz8418:
Thanks for the quick response, I did not know that I will get the paid version asap!
[HTC Sensation] Rackfoo:
I have had Titanium Pro for a couple years. When you backup apps do you just choose non system apps?
[HTC Sensation] jmcollis:
I've been using Titanium and as a complete system that backs up settings for apps as well as the app itself, it's pretty awesome.

However there are times (like immediately after flashing a new rom) when you have nothing extra installed but a file manager and you want to install just the app of something from your sdcard without having to re-download from Google Play. For this, I have used and app available on Google Play called "Android Assistant" that has a reasonably simple back up that will backup just the apks of installed apps. It installs it in a directory "AndroidAssistant_appbackup" in the root directory of the sdcard. Using a File Manager you can easily go into there and install backed up apps.

If you use Titanium, you seem to have to use Titanium itself to restore stuff.
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
Titanium Backup Pro and SMS Backup and Restore do the trick for me. They are both very quick processes, so once you get the hang of it youll have no hesitations in switching ROMs constantly. Flash ROM, let it boot, go through the setup real quick, connect your google/email/facebook and whatnot, restore apps from TB, and restore texts, all takes less than 10 minutes.
[HTC Sensation] chriskinetic:
whats the simplest option for non rooted phones to back up the entire phone/data ? are there any apps that will create a full image that you can restore at a later date ?
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
You are looking for clockwork mode, backup and restore - but unless you are prepared to root this isn't possible. Why would anyone want to stay rooted? Stock ROM is really, really poor.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
I back up my apps using this tool...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1448239

It's free and downloadable right from XDA.

It makes a single flashable zip file with all of your downloaded apps in it. (I don't think it backs up system apps)

When you install a new ROM you simply flash the zip and boom...all your apps are back.

The drawback is that it doesn't save app data. For that I use Titanium free version. Reinstalling data takes about 2 seconds per app instead of 30 seconds per app to reinstall the entire thing.

The whole process of putting apps and data back into a new ROM takes about 10-15 minutes.
[HTC Sensation] chrisrj28:
I prefer Mybackup Pro, backs up apps and their data, sms & mms. Call log, settings and even how your homescreen setup. Been using it for about a year now and it's awesome.

[HTC Sensation] WereWolf_PL:
Is there a way to backup apps' data on non-rooted system?

Every application witch I saw backups only .apks, none of them saves application's data, I don't even know if it's possible?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Many apps have a built in back up system that will let you do this.

For example, Go Launcher lets you back up your Go Launcher settings to a file it stores on the SD Card.

If you have to do a factory reset at some point and need to reinstall Go Launcher from scratch you can install it then simply restore your saved settings. Works like a charm. I'd say about 10% of the apps I use have this feature.

However, if you're talking about being able to back up every app and all its data and restore it....then no. You can't do that when not rooted.

Now if you don't want to root because you like your stock set up the way it is, you should know that you can root your phone without changing anything about the stock interface. You'll just have the ability to do more complete back ups, modifications to settings etc.

(Though fair warning, if you do root it, you won't stop with just doing backups. You'll get carried away like the rest of us and start tweaking EVERYTHING. But that's cool too.)
[HTC Sensation] chriskinetic:
just what im looking for , thank you :)
[HTC Sensation] WereWolf_PL:
Thanks for the info. I know that some applications have backup options, but I was hopping that there's an easier way to backup more important apps, or actually its data.

I also know what rooting means, and I'm not going to end at backups :)

Actually, I like stock firmware for now, don't need to change that, I just want to root for some more advanced options, additional software that needs root access, and maybe to remove, or at least freeze some unnecessary apps.

P.S. I'm actually a little disappointed about HTCdev web page. I was almost sure, that I can unlock bootloader and root the system without factory reset. I read all the info, and warnings on HTCdev.com, and nowhere, NOWHERE was written that to unlock bootloader you need to factory reset your device.

I went through all the steps, and on the last one, where I had a choice to flash, or to abort, was mentioned that flashing will do factory reset. The worst thing is that the steps shows up one after another, I couldn't even read the last one before sending the unlock code to HTC. So now - even when I didn't unlock my device, they have info that I wanted to do this, and my warranty is voided (or at least partially voided).
[HTC Jetstream] feherhollo:
I hope there will be an update release because honeycomb 3.1 is not optimized 100% for this hardware and device. So HTC please update Jetstream to 3.2 or ICS. 3.2fully support qualcomm dualcore processors and memory controllers. 3.1 is kill this device and hardware.

I received this from HTC a 2 days ago. Same old song and dance....
[HTC Jetstream] mgori:
A real shame!

I can honestly say that I admire the devotion you guys have for your Jetstream. Sometimes you just have to face reality though, HTC has abandoned this tablet. The HTC Flyer which is a cheaper, older, less powerful tablet gets an official announcement of ICS upgrade before a more expensive and more powerful tablet, that's saying something. If you guys got to the dev section and read pages 15-17 of the [ROM]<==Galaxy Task v3==>(3-17) AT&T Jetstream topic is should give you an idea where on HTC radar this tablet is. This is not a Flagship device for HTC because it has done so poorly in sales, even task650 who is a recognized developer who has made the HTC Jetstream the best it can be agrees with all of this. I remain somewhat hopeful that HTC will release ICS for this tablet but I don't expect it to be anywhere close to Q3 2012 or even Q4 2012 which is a shame because hardware wise this tablet is a beast. HTC rushed this tablet to compete with Apple/Samsung and left the software full of bugs and not optimized for the hardware.

If you guys hear back from AT&T or HTC please post results. Maybe the right amount of nagging will push HTC to be loyal to their customers.

[HTC Jetstream] kailashpchhabria:
Back from exam, but no news yet. :(
[HTC Jetstream] juannicolas:
I think I will be selling mine. Beautiful and powerful device but is in a dead stick to be forgotten and us user who payed for it and still paying to att for data plan are stuck with it with out any updates. It sucks. :(
[HTC Jetstream] kailashpchhabria:
Sad to hear that.

I was thinking of asking all users here to bombard HTC and AT&T with a request asking for some release details about future details of upgrade/possibility of ICS. If probably many of us were to email them/contact them, may be just may be it may reach higher up in the organisation and help us see ICS soon.

Anyone up for this plan?

Perhaps we could fix a particular date when the message has spread to send the emails, then volume load on HTC and AT&T would definately be higher.
[HTC Jetstream] juannicolas:
Well I can contribute on that. Let me know the right email address and I will drop my cute and right to the point question :)

How about a date of 15th May? Let the word spread and lets get the right email addresses and try it out. But we will need almost the entire community to pool in for some effect and some response from them.
