SGS USB problem

Hi! My Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 is not recognized by my computer in any mode (KIES,Mass Storage, Media Player)

- I tried in a Mac and PC

- Voltage value of the phone 3997.0(mV)

- In PC I install the drivers (Win7 X86) for Samsung and still not working

- Already went into device manager and browse for the driver manually ,

include subdir. point to programfiles\samsung. (ANSWER// WINDOWS DETERMINED THAT DRIVER FOR THIS DEVICE IS UPDATED)

- Device Status: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

- Browse into microsoft forums solutions for CODE 43 and tried a couple and still the same

The reason why I want to plug the SGS is for firmware upgrade, are other ways to upgrade

without plugging the device via usb?

I appreciate your help.

w1ndt0n, Thanks for the reply.

I do have a coupla custom roms on my device which i can flash by going into recovery. These can be flashed over my jvu base itself.

But the reason i m hesitant to do this is because if something goes wrong, I cant use Odin or anything, as my phone wont connect to pc via usb and is not detected by kies or odin or anything.

If the phone got detected by my pc/odin, I could flash a new rom in peace. Is it something wrong with the hardware, i.e the usb port? Or is it something wrong with the software?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeZero:
Most probably hardware, but you can't do an OTA update over wifi just in case and if that fails send it in

When I had darkys 10.2 running, it had the OTA feature, but I dont know if and how I can do that now!

Also this is my only phone, something I bought sim free here in my place paying full price, so quite anxious that I get to use for a while more before I can save up for another phone.

Anyway today evening once I charge up the phone fully, I shall try flashing the custom roms that are already present on my internal sd card and see if that helps the cause. If it doesnt, I guess I have no option but to take it to Samsung service centre and get ripped off by those guys!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeZero:
If you can charge but not always then its hardware but sadly u rooted so you can't send it in, where did you get the phone from cause only service providers remove warranty if rooted.

Hey guys. I was wondering what can i do with my gf's galaxy s gt i9000 ? The phone keeps showing the lockscreen even if its locked. Its locked with the black screen and then all of a sudden it shows up the lockscreen every minute but its not doing anything. The screen is turning on 10 secs and then off again. The heck can i do. The phone is stock gingerbread, not rooted or anything. This lockscreen thingie drains battery very much.

Help !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iaudi0:
You are right w1nst0n, sometimes it fails to charge too. As I feared its a hardware issue! Will it be costly to repair?

My phone is out of warranty, it is two years old. It was bought from Samsung outlet and not from any carrier/service provider.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vurp0:
If it's out of warranty then I think taking it there rooted is no problem. It'll still cost you to repair it.

You could try going to Settings > About phone > Battery usage and looking in the list what apps use the most battery. If there's an app that uses a lot of battery, try uninstalling it and seeing if the lock screen stops flashing.

Other than clear your ram before u connect and remove USB debugging no, its just how it is. The CPU and ram can't handle copying as well as general usage, maybe if u flash a custom rom you will have so lick but generally not sorry dude

what's up

i got a few questions

what's the difference between the i9000 and i9000t? because i want to root a 9000t and all i see are methods for only i9000, i wanna know this before i do anything on this model and if there's any which one should i go for, preferable without using ODIN.

The phone is currently running Eclair so i'd like to put ICS on it, and of course i want to make sure if any i9000 roms are compatible with it's variants, in this case the model already mentioned

thanks in advance

Low on storage notification

Hey W1nst0n,

Thanks for your help in advance. I've got a question about the low on storage notification that has been discussed already quite some times.

At the moment I'm running the ICS version from Infinitum 1.1.1 and I'm using the Semaphore 1.2.2s kernel.

I got a low on storage notification when I wanted to install some apps. I checked the forums and found the '[SCRIPT][CM7/9] /datadata/ low storage notification lagless fix - init.d script' thread and the '[Script]New "Low Storage" Notification fix' thread and followed the instructions and flashed the first one through CWM.

Although I still keep getting the message. The weird thing is that my datadata folder and data folder aren't full at all. As in: Data folder: 1 GB free, datadata: 22 mb used, 149 mb free.

Is there another way to fix this message cause I want to install Titanium Backup to make some backups :p

Thanks

Here is a really really weird situation.. please help

I've been having system issues

"'System UIDs Inconsistent"

No matter what type of GB mode I install I get this issue

If I install ICS roms it says Encryption unsuccessful

Which is asking me to reset/wipe data partition of the phone

so I tried to wipe all the partitions on the phone

I have tried wiping int sd card via phone (via phone setting, number code) -> didn't work

I have tried wiping via cwm (data wipe/factory reset, manual format from storage) -> didn't work

I have tried wiping & re-partition via odin + reinstall -> didn't work

I have physically deleted contents from int sd while connected via USB -> didn't work

I have formatted the removable disk (int sd) while connected via USB -> didn't work

what I mean by didn't work is, the next time I reboot, I find that all the contents in my phone comes back alive...

I don't know what I can do to fix this problem

I can install new mods fine, but due to the fact that old system files and apps are present together, which didn't get wiped, and causes clashes and my phone won't work as it starts up... I really don't know how I can fix this problem and wipe my phone clean to "resurrect" it..

please help me if you know solution to this problem

Hi !

Which is better ?

I am using JW6 with Midnight 0.5.6 kernel but lagging and black screens at times.

Change of kernels ( I changed from Semaphore) or you would suggest JVU or JW4 in which case which kernels you recommend ?

Last question:

Are all roms funny for the first few days and then settle down ? So then, do u suggest me to stay with a particular rom ( be ics or gb ) first few days before deciding to change ?

Thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
I would go for D-more 3.3 or saurom.stable and extremly well build roms.

Mnics kernel is very good but doesn't support converting file system to ext4.semaphore does and a is an advantage over Mnics.

Ics Rom.try slim ics or go for aokp Rom.I personally prefer aokp with ics

About lagging.try a cache cleaner."easy cache cleaner" from market is a good choice.usually removes most lag

hi

my current firmware is an GT_I9000_XXJW4_XXJW4_OXAJW4_Sbl, CSC (gingerbread 2.3.6) set to XEU.

which is great. unfortunately for me, it does not support the languages i need (hebrew, russian, english).

the only firmwares that support those are branded israeli firmwares.

i've downloaded the I9000JIJVG_I9000CELJVG_CEL (gingerbread 2.3.6 and CSC CEL) from samfirmware, but it fails on flushing the modem, it copies the factoryfs.rfs to the device, but reports write error right afterwards. the result (PDA and CSC flushed) is the phone shows the brand's logo on boot (eh :mad:), and thats it. it sticks like that for about a minute and reboots, to the same loop.

i've been able flush the XEU (multiple times now) i had before, and the phone is fine, but how to get the CEL one to work? or is it flawed?

i read all the 29 pages, looks like an awsome room, but at no point does it say it supports the needed languages. the RTL support file the guy uploaded there seems to have only arabic language (that is by opening and looking into the contained files).

im unlucky, but the need of working language is greater then a comfortable ROM.

ive searched the net, but didn't find anything but the 3 branded/carrier israeli Roms on samfrimware. since very few (relatively) people use hebrew, its unlikely to find anything else (i need only hebrew,russian,english Keyboard. the phone itself should run in english)

i've read people are able to flush different PDA's with different Modem, how come it doesn't work for me?

any other suggestions i might try?

Flash your prefered rom(dmore?).then from your hebrew suppoted rom flash only the csc onto your phone with odin this should give you hebrew .

based on the arabic langauge "update" from the Dmore thread, isnt it possible to import the languages from one of the brands firmware to the stock firmware?

btw, if i cant write in hebrew/russian, how come i can see the SMS messages as they are supposed to be?

Then I'm lost I'm sorry. Rtl can be fixed with the rtl patch.there is some other " locale" apps in play store or write to the dev's of the apps and ask if they could add Hebrew .

Really weird that flashing the csc gives you bootloop???.

Have u tried "csc changer" from market.if u are on multi csc,this can change your csc. U just just need to know your region code (3 letters)

Okay. I'm of to bed. Good luck
