[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Its stalled, Its Failed, but you have no option but to disconnect, which means you will be in upgrade mode or BSOD mode after you pull the plug. meaning you have to Flash again using Pit first but before that you need to remove battery, reinsert, best to remove external SD card and Sim card too.

restart odin and plug in usb cable, it might detect straight away for you to flash again
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mod2max:
Ahhh that must be what it is, upgrade mode :/

Well I got the phone out and download mode still works and Odin can still see the phone, so I'm pretty safe atm (I think.....) battery has already been removed etc.

But while download mode and Odin work I'm not doing more to the phone now, if I carry on I will actually have heart failure. So I will pick this up again later on this afternoon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mod2max:
Could you please explain what you mean by "using Pit first"? I thought pit files go in it's space in Odin at the same time as flashing everything else (when you use Pits of course).

My current plan is, install the usb drivers on a machine that has never been touched by me, Odin or anything else. So maybe this will determine whether it is EZOdin playing up on the latest version of Windows 7... if it's not either of those then I guess that means I am no longer able to flash PIT files and am screwed.

But I will find out, fingered crossed!

Slaphead20, I've taken the PDA, PHONE and CSC files you gave me and would like to flash them in Odin3. I've stripped the files of their ".md5" extensions and now they are just ".tar" but I was wondering if this would have any bad effects while flashing? Does Odin3 take ".md5" files like EZOdin does? Is it safer to leave the files in their ".md5" format?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mod2max:
How it was solved:

I took the "ezbase recovery kit" that was kindly made available to me from Slaphead20 and unpacked the "PDA", "PHONE" and "CSC" .md5 files, I first removed the ".md5" extensions from the end of each file name and then used WinRAR to unload the contents of each ".tar" folder into a normal uncompressed folder for use with Hemidall.

**I did find that while unpacking these files there was two "cache.rfs" files, they are both the same but we just use one when using Hemidall.**

The reason I used Hemidall instead of EZOdin (which is supplied with the recovery kit) or Odin3 is because firstly when I tried to use the recovery kit in EZOdin, it crashed and I had to unplug the phone unwillingly (that caused "Upgrade mode"). And the reason for not using Odin3 was fear of the same.

The process:

**Make sure your handset has plenty of juice cause the last thing you want is a bad flash and then not being able to charge the batter without an external charger.**

Firstly, get your phone into "Download Mode" with the USB cable unplugged from the computer

Set up Hemidall like so...

**Make sure "Repartition" is checked and "No Reboot" is unchecked for this bit!**

Partition ID______Partitions (Files)

____0___________IBL+PBL = boot.bin

____3___________SBL = Sbl.bin

____6___________KERNEL = zImage

____11__________MODEM = modem.bin

____21__________PARAM = param.lfs

____22__________FACTORYFS = factoryfs.rfs

____23__________DBDATAFS = dbdata.rfs

____24__________CACHE = cache.rfs

After the flash is complete the phone will reboot, the first ever boot of the OS is a long one so just be patent and it will eventually (fingers crossed) load.

Q: What is it doesn't load? o_O

A: Flash the above again until it does, or your doing something wrong -_-"

Once the phone has loaded, shut it down and then go back into "Download Mode" with the USB cable unplugged. Now, with Hemidall select the same pit file as before but make sure that "Repartition" and "No Reboot" are both unchecked, then click "Add" and select "Kernel" for the "Partition Name", browse to the "zImage" file in the "CF -Root for EZbase" folder (or similar). Plug the USB cable into the phone, click "Start" and wait for the phone to reboot, then you will have Root (+ SU) and CWM.

**If any flash you make with Hemidall stalls (fails) after you click "Start" and you have to unplug the phone it will now be stuck in "Upgrade Mode" but get into "Download Mode" and follow this guide from the start.**

Thank you Slaphead20 for this one :)

dude, ive had similar problems, due to this thread i was able to fix, and get my phone running. now ive got one small problem left. cwm wont flash. im stuck on 3e recovery, when i try to flash update.zip, it fails, and obviously i cant update to different rom with that. any hints on how to get cwm on it? and how do u generally get cwm when using that recovery pack?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
flash the cf kernel as pda in Odin, no repartition....for crying out loud there's a pictorial guide with screen shots of Odin loaded up....:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banana_plug:
now guess what? i did flashed CF kernel. guess does it load CWM afterwards? no. 3e recovery loads up instead. it actually failed for the first time (when flashing in ezodin as pda) the second time it was flashed right. but no CWM. was following tutorial step by step. im sure i was doing exactly whats stated in it. any ideas my dear ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
did you flash as a separate step from the ez base flash?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banana_plug:
dude, youre absolutely right. as a separate step. been through google for hours, untill now its unsolved for me. 3e recovery stays in.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
try a new download of the kit, no one, and I mean no one, has ever had that before :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banana_plug:
yes. you probably understand why im actually posting here. i nearly never post, not because im a techie, im a total noob, its just that im good at research, and i dont like to bother others. but at this point im pretty tired. will go thru the procedure again (third time) and see what happens. ****ing 3e recovery! ;)

p.s correct me, replacing the kernel with CFROOT one from the pack, should automatically flash CWM? if thats the case, i might go and find another kernel with such capabilities, am i on a right path? p.s when i get rich, ill donate to you a beer ;D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
You need to flash the ezbase Rom as shown then flash the kernel separately as pda repartition unchecked, as shown in the instructions!

Hi everyone,

I have Alcatel OT-918(Without D/M or N) I messed up my system and it is not working now.

It was running Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread.

If anyone has access to this stock ROM please post the link..

If some has a phone like mine and I a kindly requesting that you back it up for me(minus your sensitive data of course) and post it.

I will be grateful.

I have tried all approaches including One-touch Upgrade but it just says my phone is up to date.

Thanks all

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Loksman:
Thanks for sharing marcorennes,

I have a 918d with android 2.3.5.

Your zip file is named "2.3.5_Europe.zip", does this mean that preloader and dsp_bl in this file are from android 2.3.5?

The reason I ask is that I dont seem to be able to 'read back' preloader and dsp_bl from a working phone (with SP Flash Tool), something wrong wih the file header in both files.

So it would be nice if I can use your preloader and dsp_bl...

Thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] marcorennes:
Hi,

This is a zip file extract from an OT 918d in 2.3.5.

So I think you can take these ones.

I you use it, don't forget to use One Touch Upgrage after.

I used it for my OT 918 (without m/n/d) and it worked very well.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Loksman:
Merci Marco,

It worked like a charm.

I still wonder why I cant extract a valid preloader and dsp_bl from my working phone, did you extract them with SP Flash Tool?

I compared your preloader and mine and they are completely different.

Un grand merci.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] papa_d:
Possible Solution

Ok well first off i would tell you to charge your phone for a hour or two, then try to boot to Recovery Mode, power + volume up, load a custom rom for your device, then use alcatel's upgrade software tool to update back to stock rom. This worked for my 918 Mix (without d/m/n).

A custom rom for the 918 is the Gingerblaze, you can google it, its gingerbread 2.3.5 so you will be upgraded by alcatel's servers to 2.3.6.

Hi,

I am a fairly novice user of One V. However, I am not happy with the speed of the device and need to improve its functionality a tad more.

Can rooting the device help me do the same and if so kindly help me with the safest and easiest method to do so.

Rgds...
[HTC One V] BirthdayDog11:
Yes, a custom rom will add functionality and improve speed. However this is a fairly new phone and development has not progressed very far yet.

To root your phone follow this guide. It's kind of a long process, but none of it is too complicated.

There are also kernels that allow overclocking the device. You have to do some reading though to make sure you won't damage your phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazyjimbo:
I'm having the same issue.

Whenever I flash a ROM without Gapps bundled, then flash the Gapps package, I just boot back into CWM. I tried the two Gapps packages for Jellybean I could find, neither worked. Another issue I found is if I flash some modded Gapps packages (such as the one for the Team Bamf JB ROM or others) I can boot, but the apps aren't installed, and some functions might actually be missing after the flash.

I tried this with both JB ROMS and ICS ROMS, same story with both.

Another interesting thing, when I try to flash the MrMaddon Galaxy SIII Add-On pack, it installs the TW5 launcher, it themes everything, but none of the sounds, apps, or widgets are installed. This is for both the JB Light version, and the full version for ICS.

Flash a ROM with the Gapps already installed, everything is fine and dandy. I really want to use Paranoid Android, and the other amazing ROMs available for my GNex, but I don't want to have to do without Google Now and Google Voice. I've grown partial to them lol.

nothing to do withe the Rom,

the digitizer: Synaptics or Cypress, depending how you have it, will dictate what module to use for DT:

- fake DT for synaptics by DX

You can take them from any Rom, but in order for them to work, they have to be "insmod" -ed into config....
