yes. it's empty i check *#06# how restore it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] reobedr:
Lately (actually since I switched to CM10), it happens a lot that sdcard is not mounted afterI reboot, when cm10 is finished loading I get the "password to decrypt the phone" screen. Often a number of reboots resolves this temporarily or removing battery and sd-ext but this might be placebo.

The same is true for CWM, there when SD card isn't mounted I can't install anything, as I can't browse sdcard.

Changing kernels doesn't help, I've tried stock (most of the time) but also devil and semaphore have the same issues.

Would this be hardware related or is there something else at play here, if additional info is needed, please tell me.

current setup: newest cm-10-20120820-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd stock kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alb3rtt:
i ran into this issue today. just flash a stock gingerbread rom and copy your efs folder from there. then flash cm10 (youll have to do it twice, first flash becomes a loop). then once youve booted just delete the efs folder from the root of your phone and copy your gingerbread efs folder. reboot and voila!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] monjovega:
Please help. I have installed CM10 and able to back up my EFS file and have the IMG file on the ROOT drive. Now, how can I restore the EFS image to bring back my IMEI. Thanks in advance.

Can you unpack the .img? With 7zip or so?

If you do that, do you have any .bin files in it? If yes:

- Copy nv_data.bin & nv_data.bin.md5 to your internal SD

- Go to Terminal Emulator and type:

SU [enter]

cp /sdcard/nv_data.bin /EFS/nv_data.bin [enter]

rm -rf /EFS/nv_data.bin.md5 [enter]

- Reboot

- Again to Terminal Emulator:

Fixing system files's permissions is usually to be done when force closes occur. You can run it through ROM Manager, which should be installed on your CM. Alternatively you can run it through Recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yahyoh:
use pit with repartition ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DROCSID:
Download: https://rapidshare.com/files/901760120/dbdata.rfs.tar

Download: Odin

Fix:

Extract Odin

Launch Odin.exe

Click the PDA button and choose the dbdata.rfs.tar file you downloaded

Make sure Re-Partition is unchecked

Boot your SGS into DOWNLOAD MODE

To do it hold down the Home, Volume Down and the Power button

Connect your device to your computer with the usb cable

If your device is connected Odin will recognise it

Click Start in Odin and wait

When the process is completed your device will restart

BUT: try with repartitioning on (be sure you have all the files) like yahyoh says (mine is an emergency solution)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ballsofsteel:
The efs folder is not in a rom zip file...you can find it in the root of your sd card after you flash the rom package.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JuggerRUS:
This is a best jb rom at the moment! :) In cooperation with latest Semaphore (2.0.6) even without LiveOC or any other improvements it flies, it is amazingly fast. It even faster than latest ICS for me. My phone starts every app in 1-2 seconds!

To all: if you feel that this ROM is laggy, try clean install with wiping everything (even with format /system). And don't use titanium backup for restoring (I have noticed that lags appear right after TB restoring my apps). It might be that TB is moving apps from ISC to JB in the wrong way. After these steps this ROM will be fast as it colud be.

Thank you so much pawitp and stratosk! :) I don't want GNex anymore. =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danieleb89:
hi I upgraded to the latest version from a version before 20120817 so my phone was wiped perfectly, everything seemed fine till i needed tethering...

I installed devil and then i had a bootloop, finally i managed to get the recovery and i reinstalled the latest version but it wiped everything again... so i have 2 questions:

1) which kernel allows tethering and is compatible with lates CM10?

2) every nighly from 20120817 onwards will wipe my phone?

10x in advance :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
1) the one that comes with the rom seems very compatible ;) Only semaphore 2.0.6 as alternative for now.

2)No

Hey

first i want to say thank for the rom

i got a problem that start with CM9

suddenlymy gallery stop reading my photos

and the player stop reading my music

when im useing other player like double twist i can see my songs , and by useing file manager i can see my songs and photos.

so i was tring to flash this rom ( CM10 )

and i still got the problem.

is someone know how to fix it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wolfpeterson:
I was the user of Slim ICS and Slime Bean before this rom. Even without semaphore kernel this rom is faster than anything I have tried.

Just wanted to thank pawtip for making us able to use I9000 even in 2012.

I have a question if anyone can bother answering. Is there a ram memory patch for this rom, the one like Slim had for semaphore "s" kernel versions?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] phees:
I don't think it is a problem when restoring apps with Titanium Backup, but you shouldn't restore system settings with it, as it seems to introduce problems.

Going back to CM9

So, I flashed CM10 by pawitp and played around a little (didn't wipe) and it worked fine, but was not stable enough for me.

So I wanted to go back to CM9 (latest nightly), but after flashing I am stuck on the boot animation.

Do I have to wipe, or is there a way to make it boot and keep everything?:(

I can't do a NANDROID restore, since CWM is now v6.

Any help on this?

Thanks in advance.:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] macia10:
Do an advanced restore and restore boot only then restart to recovery and it will be the old one and do a normal restore ;]

I dont know what will happen with datadata partition unfortunatelly :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pressh:
The version is 4.1-392829. Not sure why the other one is larger, I don't have flash so can't download the first one in your list. It comes from the gapps-jb-20120715.zip package.

Your flashable zip file is also just 1.5MB... which is just fine, just saying.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 99x:
You could probably flash an ics kernel first to fix the partitioning, boot in to recovery and restore nandroid. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 5H00T4:
Advanced restore (just boot) doesn't work either, md5 mismatch.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] riggnix:
maybe it's not stable enough because you didn't wipe. Didn't try without wiping myself, but if you have a nandroid backup anyway i think it would be worth a shot ;-)

interesting stuff going in in GitHub and BBQLog: the jellybean branches on git are getting a lot of commits right now, and in BBQLog you can already select changelog for CM10 :-) I think it won't be too long before we see some official nightlies :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wingg:
Im for restoring datadata/ partition .

Maybe there'll be lower rom space, but it'll be speedy.

//-->
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] riggnix:
just flash CM9 and do the nandroid restore then. CM10 uses a different partition layout, so you can't nandroid from CM10 to CM9 and vice versa.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Abyv:
OK here we go..I had faced the same. I accidentally formatted system and sd card. So couldn't get far apart from boot logo. So went to recovery and mounted USB and transferd ROM to internal SD card and flashed back.

Dunno if this helps u @ all..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gmhafiz:
They all become similar in size when compressed into zip. The size of apk itself differs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 5H00T4:
Hm, I think my backup is screwed, that's why I get a MD5 mismatch.

I am already on CM9.

Ah well, wipe ahead then.

The only question is: do I go back to CM9 or do I try a clean CM10? :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Abyv:
CM10 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] riggnix:
I'd give CM10 another chance, working pretty great here ;-)

Only 2 little issues i can live with: after reboot i have to turn flight mode on and off once to get data, and once my camera didn't work anymore, but a reboot fixed it ;-)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] davioxx:
Why don't you try a stock firmware restore then go to cm9 as you know partition table changed and probably it is the only way to get back

Edit: and after going back to cm9 you restore your nandroid
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sigarocubano:
Compare the last two characters.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pressh:
Well, there you have your answer (I finally managed to download the other file).

Since an apk file is basically a zip file, the difference between my file and the other is the compression used in the zip file. If you extract/uncompress both files they are both 5.9M and are the same.

The file I posted has just a better compression than the other apk.

It's absolutely zero freeze and no lags at all... maybe some fixes or optimizations from semaphore should be moved to cyanogen?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] slaj76:
There is no 20120821 nightly yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jacobuscuracao:
yes, you can download nitrality via market, it is free.

yes, AFAIK it will work on any Rom - I've used it on other Roms several months ago - I did not have the Imei problem on CM9 or CM10.

in general, with IMEI it's not just a matter of replacing the file - the file is being used by the system so it may take various tries.

I don't know if maybe someone can explain how that works - if it may be possible to stop the (radio?) process so the file can be replaced without having to retry until by accident you do it at the right time.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Coolman4now:
When I do this, the system uses the rest of the 16GB that are "Built in" and by that I mean the 12 GB partition, and leaves the 1.98GB untouched !

This is only an issue when I mount the phone to my PC, all apps disappears from the drawer then the Android tries to read them again which slows the phone tremendously.

This is not the case with CM9.

To Pawit (and other developers as well):

If the partitions of other jelly bean roms for the galaxy s become more standardized (by that I mean following the route of CM10), is it possible to split the 2 gb of internal storage into two halves, as someone has pointed out earlier. The change in the partitions could well work with Roms based directly on CM10 when a user decides to switch.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yahyoh:
nope
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Coolman4now:
Can we at least have the option to use the old layout where is /data is 1.98 GB ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yahyoh:
no , use another roms and live with the bad lag or do it yourself :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ballsofsteel:
I suggested that the option would be viable that if SGS roms become more standardized (the first step is of course to swap around /data and /system like CM10 did, then a further division of the 2 gb could take place), however yes i am aware not every rom is based on cm10 and not all the developers would be willing to repartition the moviNAND even if CM10 implements it, and that would essentially segregate sgs users from roms between those with and without a repartitioned system.
