Didn't work with my i9000

Hi, thanks- maybe it was just my device but it didn't work for me that way (tried to downgrade from cm 10.1 back to my old rooted Froyo 2.2, due to contacts, which I've forgotten to synchronize so needed my old nandroid backup)

The Odin was always freezing as soon as I clicked "start". I had to solve it different way....

EDIT 2013-09-13: I see now, long time later that I wasn't clear, my phone was soft-bricked and I tried to restore it, this tutorial is otherways just amazing! Bravo, thanks for posting it :)

(In my next post is describe how to unbrick the i9000 if download mode is still available.)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] donematrix:
Thanks for pointing this out, but can you share the way you did it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Irish74:
Thank you kind Sir!

Fixed and back ! :good:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tetakpatak:
Cool :) congratulations. I'm glad this helped again (about 10 devices revived only last week)

Confustion

I am currently running ddjv9 firmware and i wanted to install ovajv9 rom on it what should i be doing ? Any solution.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tetakpatak:
Is the baseband of your desired ROM compatible with your region? DD... is for Asia, I think. I never heard of "OVAJV9"

If you're without experience, feel free to use my step-by-step guide. (just to be sure, you have i9000, right?) All the download links there are working, all important steps (also for backup) are explained, there are even video guides:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2444308

For flashing from stock to stock you won't need a PIT file, leave that field in Odin empty and don't click re-partitioning then. If the firmware you decide to flash has only one part (one *tar file), you should choose it under "PDA" and flash.

It is baseband for the mobile connections, the frequences are different in different corners of the world. You can find easily in www all info.

Just copying the apk as in thr last link didn't work for me. I think some apps have to be installed
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gen_scheisskopf:
Some apps unpack their libs/assets to /data/data/[app-name] during installation or first run so

a) check installed app data which files are used

b) if there are libraries- try moving them to /system/lib and see if app will find it (some use hardcoded paths unfortunately)

c) make a script that during the first boot will copy required files from /system/[custom location] to /data/data/[app name] (better way) or init.d script that will symlink required files from /system/[custom location] to /data/data/[app name]
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mansy_gupta:

Hello, You could make a new folder in your sdcard.

Make a new folder, renamed to media.

inside media folder, create another new folder and rename it to audio

inside audio folder, create alarms, notifications & ringtones folder

So, in simple way you'll have

/Sdcard/media/audio/alamrs

/Sdcard/media/audio/notifications

/Sdcard/media/audio/ringtones

you can put .mp3 or ogg....

Not sure if you all know but Papa has been in the hospital with pneumonia. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers (if you believe in that, no offense anyone)

He's a great Guy that has overcome obstacles in the past, so I'm sure he'll be back in no time.

In the mean time let's show Papa some support and that he's missed! Hit his thanks button in his thread on one of his posts, and drop this guy a donation!! Medical bills and prescriptions cost a fortune, it's the least one could do to give back to someone who gives so much.

Guarantee if you ever have or ever do ask Chad for his help he'll do all he can for you. Papa's donate button is easily found right above his avatar.

Yeah I've been talking to Chad aka Papasmurf for the last couple of days and found out that he was in the hospital :(

Seems like the guy doesn't catch a break at all! I'll def donate when I get paid next week because I know very well how much it costs one perosn to be in a hospital these days! Not only does it suck to be in there BUT it hurts you financially too! I mean, insurance (if you have it that is) covers part of your fees BUT it doesn't cover things like being out of your job while you're in there (most employers will only give you the time off NOT paying you while you're in the hospital), bills that get piled up (rent, car, cell phone bill in our case) and just other things like that!!

Get well Chad and we look forward to seeing you out of that horrible hospital soon!!!

Thanks everyone. I got out of the hospital last night after being there since Saturday. I had dbl bilateral pneumonia (both lungs upper and lower regions). I blame the cancer treatments from the past which severely damaged my lungs. Any ways I'm home amd resting and thanks to modern medicine and wonderful steroid I get to try a new trick for a few days. I won myself the ability to stab my finger and check my glucose level before every meal. I'm suck a lucky guy lol. Hopefully this is temporary. I don't know how diabetics do it their whole life.

Dear All

I have 2.3.6 GB stock rom with root and Franco #10 Kernel, and want to upgrade to ICS

the update is not available to my region, so I downloaded the German one (Europe region)

I made a full nand backup to use it just in case of any failure , and did a complete apps and data backup by Titanium Pro for all my apps and data

I read in several threads that I can do the upgrade via Odin PC ore Odin Mobile Pro (I have both and used both in previous upgrades)

My questions are the following:

1- I read that the ICS rom is non wipe, so which wipes should I do to keep my apps and settings and have in same time a no problems upgrade?

2- If I flash this another region rom, and later on my region ICS stock rom is there, can I FOTA update my G Note with my original region rom over the non-region rom?

3- I read also that Iam going to lose my root and I should use another file to root the ICS, so which file should I use? I must have root for some needed apps.

4- If I did not like the new ICS (for any reason) can I use my nand backup to go back to my GB rom (downgrade)? would it be as any restore I did before? If I do this restore should I find my root and my Franco kernel back or should I flash them back?

Thank you and best regards

[Nokia Lumia 900] randomlightspeed:
I recently discovered this on a white lumia 900 and wonder if this is normal or if I need to get my phone exchanged.

The camera always gives a slightly discolored halo in the middle of a picture taken without a flash. I took a picture of a blank white wall and the effect can be seen clearly in the piture. (I adjusted the brightness a bit) (since i cant post links)

imgur.com/caiBu

Also, it doesn't take really good pictures in the dark. One weird thing that I saw is in this picture below. I took a picture with the phone in complete darkness and then opened the picture on the phone. The screen looks black but then when you pinch-to-zoom and increase the picture size, all sorts of weird dots and stuff appear and also can be seen if you auto-correct the final image using any picture software. I clicked the picture of the phone screen in a dark room.

[Nokia Lumia 900] ggg:

[Nokia Lumia 900] sitizenx:
Vignetting, digital noise, and the laws of physics

Lulz. Welcome to the world of photography. You have discovered two things that have been discussed in photography for well over a century vignetting and noise/grain.

I have a $300 NONZOOM lens that if used on a $3000 camera will show vignetting if you shoot it wide open (f/1.4). Not sure why anyone would think the tiny lens on a mass produced phone handed out for free would be immune to that.

A guy bought a DSLR for $6,000 new and put a $1,500 lens on it. This is what he found...

The Lumia 900 is an awesome phone but it has to obey the laws of physics. You can't cram eight megapixels into a space the fraction of the size of a fingernail and expect to get noise free images. That's why miniaturization and the megapixel race are an anathema to good photography. I'll put it to you this way one of the greatest photographers ever prefered to shoot his work with an 8x10 camera. That's right a camera with film that measured 8x10 per a frame. Now you are shooting in terrible lighting conditions with a sensor that is a fraction of the size of your fingernail. My question is what did you expect?

Here's a little primer on sensor sizes...

For professional photography Canon APS-C is really the minimum. Sigma Fovean can be used but it is a very unique technology. Four thirds cameras take some decent pictures as well but that is about the limit. FYI see that tiny green box on the left? The sensor you are critiquing is a fraction of the size of that. Also when I really want to take I nice shot I use a medium format FILM camera. It's negative is even bigger than the medium format sensor on that chart.

Arizona Highways is considered to be at the pinnacle of photographic magazines. It usually only uses images taken with FILM cameras like this...

So bottom line is that vignetting and digital noise are present to some degree in EVERY camera phone. Are they at an unacceptable level in your particular unit? I don't know. I would have to know a lot more about your testing methodology and see similar sample pics taken under the exact same conditions by a variety of phones. Your phone may be defective or you may just be one of those special people that really pays attention to the quality of photographs. Some people for whatever reason are just really tuned in to what looks good and what looks bad. I love showing people like that my pictures. They can actually appreciate them or at least tell me what looks bad.

Yeah so do people with three thousand dollar cameras. It's all a matter of degree.
[Nokia Lumia 900] bitemydonkey:
Unfortunately, the camera on this phone sucks. I have one and it takes horrible pictures 90% of the time. 10% of the time you will be amazed at how great the pictures look, the rest of the time you will be disappointed.

Not sure how how Nokia screwed it up this bad.
