You just made my day sir
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] John5788:
oh man i got a raging clue from reading that.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] RazoE:
What is it? I'm not signing up for google+.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] onebornoflight:
Kornyone got some free time and is currently working on the CM source for our device and already has it booting, albeit in a very alpha state. Complete with screenshots.

Short version.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] RazoE:
Nice, any word on an official recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] John5788:
Cyanogen himself got his hands on a Relay and has pictures of recovery and the bootscreen of CM9
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] RazoE:
Oh man, I can't wait..!:D

We have to get our own section now, right!?!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] noptys:
Here's the one we've been using to test CM9 and CM10 builds. Its built from source and several of us have backed up, restored, and wiped over and over with it at this point.

Use heimdall to install it (git commit 4f3220646dfebd5c2ba554fca204f28665915955 or newer)

./heimdall flash --verbose --recovery
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] RazoE:
I have no idea what you just said, :confused:

I'll research heavily (my first Samsung device, I've been HTC faithful until now). Can it be written to the system through terminal emulator?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] planetbeen:
Doesn't it just figure? Finally people are really starting to develop.

I've been watching this thread, reading along every day. Went to see the relay on its release day. ..But I just couldn't commit.

Then I heard about the note 2. And it was actually coming to tmobile! Went to get my hands on it yesterday on my lunch break and it was love at first sight. Went back and bought it last night. Guess I have to move to the note forum now. I am a sellout.

I have been insisting on a hardware keyboard for so long now. But when I got to thinking I thought maybe if the screen was ginormous I wouldnt have so much trouble. Still have to get us used to it but I am loving this thing!

Looks like you guys are finally on your way to getting noticed. I've been reading this thread since day 1. Hope they get their act together and get you a forum soon!

I will still be reading about the progress here....and hopefully in your new forum soon! See you around!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gee one:
Technically, I think Cyanogen reposted the material. I didn't infer that he has a Relay.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] OriginalGabriel:
Okay, this is getting old ... we need a damn forum!

We have root, we have a custom recovery, we have a Dev (who just got working RIL on CM9!) but we don't have a forum!?!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nocturin:
WOOT!

What's RIL?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] onebornoflight:
Has anyone compiled the latest heimdall to flash this recovery, or what version do I need to flash? I can't compile it myself.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] OriginalGabriel:
RIL is the radio interface; basically, they were able to get cellular data (and apparently damn fast cellular data).
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gee one:
I just built heimdall and the frontend from source in Ubuntu 12.04. The front-end seems to replace the command line binary, but it can't be too hard to get them to live peacefully in the same /usr/bin/ folder.

Here's the free walk through:

open your favorite terminal and get to the command line!

cd /your/android/build/directory/

git clone https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall.git

read the README file in the Linux/ folder. Pay close attention to appendix B and C. There might be other README files in the other OS folders, but that's up to you.

I had to install libusb-1.0.0-dev and checkinstall

If this is your first time, you'll probably need build-essential pkg-config zlib1g-dev and maybe qmake-qt4

"apt-get install libusb-1.0.0-dev checkinstall build-essential pkg-config zlib1g-dev qmake-qt4" should get it all in one shot

I got an RCC: no resources blah blah warning in the qmake-qt4 command for the frontend, but it seemed to build fine otherwise.

I didn't test if everything else works, but the command line help looks fine and the front end launches.

In other news, I resurrected my dead mac so that I could play with Kies a little bit. We can't let Nardholio have all the fun. It's not pretty, but it boots and runs Kies.

I made 64 bit packages for Ubuntu. If anyone wants them, I can post them later, but I have to run to dinner...

Yeah, we need a forum soon.... For every post we make in this thread while we don't have a forum, OriginalGabriel kills a kitten.... :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] :
ok here's an Odin flashable version of noptys' recovery. Just unzip and put in the PDA section of Odin.

By the way, if you have an unrooted Relay, just flash cwm and then the arm version of this http://androidsu.com/superuser/ or the CWM version of this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 to get root. It almost feels dirty how simple it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] pudgybunnyBry:
Oh this is beautiful. I have been having issues trying to flash cwm with Heimdall. Thank you.

You. Will. Obey. XDA Premium - Samsung SGH-T699
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] dillalade:
Thanks Nardholio again for helping me with all this.

It flashed perfeclt via odin. But I cannot access my external sdcard within cwm... perhaps my sdcard needs reformatting, unless others I noticing external sd mount issues within cwm?

Thanks again dude

EDIT:

It seemed post Odin recovery flash, once I performed a nand backup only to the internal sd, that my external sd card had become damaged and required re formatting!

However I was unwilling to lose many images and videos I had taken of my baby niece. So I used Zarecovery and it worked like a charm. However I still fail to mount or use extenal sd card within CWM.

But I'm glad I got the sd contents back without needing to reformat. However I think I probably may need to reformat in order for cwm to behave well. Unless this is a known flaw within this build of cwm.

Otherwise I was succesful in backing up, flashing the cm9 build just for kicks and then restoring to stock nand. Hence the core of the cwm features work as you'd expect.

Great stuff
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] RazoE:
Do I delete the .md5 extension after unzipping like when I rooted the phone? Or flash as is (cwm.tar.md5) ?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] pudgybunnyBry:
I did it without deleting the .md5 extension.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] RazoE:
Yup, I just finished flashing it! I'm about to reboot into recovery via Terminal Emulator (su [enter] reboot recovery [enter])

*fingers crossed*

edit: Success! When backing up, make sure you chose "backup to external SD card" for those that asked.

Thank you guys so much!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] kornyone:
ohhai!

I am Jason Parker (kornyone from Github/Freenode/other places) from the G+ posts mentioned here. I was the one with RIL and made the post CM shared on G+/Twitter. Part of the reason they shared it is... I am already in the team maintaining the HTC Doubleshot. After more hardware failures than one should ever experience on the Doubleshot, I am finally abandoning that phone as my daily.

I began training at a new job and was out of town for six weeks. During those six weeks, I picked up this Radar 4g/ApexQ to be my new daily. It exceeded my expectations -- faster HSPA, better battery life (stock atleast), operated with the msm8960 core nicely, and the BT has amazing range. I just didn't have the ability or time to hack it for many weeks... and it drove me crazy.

I came home from training the same weekend as the BigAndroidBBQ (this last weekend) and I knew I was jonesing to hack this phone, even though I have numerous other projects on my plate (HTC Doubleshot, Nexus Q, personal and professional stuff, family life, etc).

Rather than initially reinventing the wheel, I decided to use noptys's github repos. I was able to build a stable CWM from his jellybean branch. It worked well. I was off to the races.

I found their IRC channel (#apexqtmo) at that time. I told them what I was up to, and someone suggested I try the ICS branch. I did so, posted screenshots. I then came home after work (I work second shift ATM), and started working on pieces of the source to fix the many core non-functional components.

I fixed the RIL inadvertently, without any noticeable side effects, using the stock Samsung kernel source code/defconfig (apexq_rev02_defconfig). I previously was using noptys kernel ICS branch. Not only was RIL working, but I was pulling sick speeds (for T-Mobile anyways). Something I could not do on the Doubleshot (it topped out 3-5mbps/down, the apexq was reaching 10-16mbps down on average).

I have not had a chance to dive into it more.

BTW, I have not abandoned the HTC Doubleshot for CM. It's on hiatus. It's my wife's go-to daily driver and 3 months old (before T-Mobile killed it off in the stores). The ApexQ is my current daily... once I get audio and BT working again :)

WiFi WPA2 Failure

Hello, after installing the root from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31861735&postcount=171 my WiFi WPA2 connection from the phone to my home network suddenly started to fail.

I tried to flash the stock file back but didn't help. Other than that - no problems!

After two attempts to connect I always end with Wifi Authentication Error. When I switched the router from WPA2 to WPA, it's started to work. I guess it's similar to recent problems on SIII. I am now back on the root version but have no idea how to fix this situation.

I also guess that the ROM originaly in the phone was slightly different from the KIES dump presented here. KIES says my ROM is up to date Version: PDA:LH1 / PHONE:LH1 / CSC:LH1 (TMB)

Any ideas or can somebody try to dump his/her ROM before rooting?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HippoMan:
I figured it out. For anyone else who doesn't know how to do this ...

Using Root Explorer, go to /system/media/audio/ui

Click on Mount R/W

Rename the following files as follows ...

PowerOff.ogg => PowerOff.ogg.orig

PowerOff.wav => PowerOff.wav.orig

PowerOn.ogg => PowerOn.ogg.orig

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] :
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing it?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] dillalade:
Cm9 and cm10 both run so smooth on this device.

Although the team at work clearly declare not much in terms of radio signal and sensors to be working.... I can see the promise of whats to come of our device. Cannot wait until a daily driver.

Where the fk is our forum. So ridiculous
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] fantomex:
I cleaned up both of the caches and stuff from the HOME+VOLUME UP+Power combo menu. Didn't perform Factory reset from the android tho.

EDIT: seems like the factory reset + cache cleaning again helped a bit. I will check the WPA2 networks at home later. THANX!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] dillalade:
Can somebody with cwm installed as well as the 64gb sandisk xc card confirm if the below is true for you as well as I.

Basically, I've reformatted in different ways, but no matter what cwm gives error cannot mount external sdcard. It just can't mount to its path at all. However I try with a random 1gb sdcard I have and cwm mounts to it as you'd expect. I don't see why but it seems this version of cwm falls over with the sandisk 64gb sdcard... anyone else?

Another quirk leading me to believe there are cwm issues when using this 64gb card is that on the 2 occasions where I have flashed cm9, upon the inital reboot from cwm to the first boot up of cm, I receive 'damaged sdcard' in the notification bar.

Something is not playing nicely.

Happy to provide logs if this helps.

Hoping its not just me.

(Note, when booted into stock rom, my 64gb sd reads and writes normally. This odity only happens from cwm.)

**********************

EDIT - SOLVED:

After further research and many failed attempts. I discovered that most 64gb sdcards are preformated to exFat - where the Galaxy range of devices are able to read/write to these cards, CWM cannot.

Hence I used the free version of Easeus Partition Master to format the card to Fat32. Now CWM works with my 64gb SDxc.

Hope this helps anyone that was getting as frustrated as I was.

Will I lose this root upon T-Mobile updates?

I've rooted my T699 via this method, and it's working fine.

However, I presume that this root is based on a T-Mobile build (am I correct?), and I'm afraid I'm going to get T-Mobile OS updates which disable root.

Is that the case? If not, then I apologize for my lack of understanding, But if so, how can I either ...

(1) ... disable vendor OS updates altogether with this rooted build?

... or ...

(2) ... protect my root against any future vendor OS updates which might get installed?

Forgive me if my understanding is lacking about this topic. Up until now, I've always rooted my phones with custom ROM's, such as those from CM, so vendor OS updates were never an issue for me.

Thanks in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] fantomex:
So the problem persist, in our office we have lot of APs under one SSID, different brands, some of them does not work... One of the potential issues is that i have US phone on European WiFi networks (channels 12,13) but in home i have all APs set on 1-11 channels so this shouldn't be issue.

EDIT2: Problem with WPA2 PSK "authentication error occurred" is appearing in all Android 4.0.4 devices. Galaxy Relay included. It was due to bad implementation in Mikrotik Routerboard RouterOS 5.21 and below! It has been fixed in 5.22RC1. You have to upgrade. Details here: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=65270

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gee one:
From my experience from other devices, the best option is to intercept the update and root it, before flashing. This avoids losing root or having to regain root. You just never lose it. Sure, this requires a little android know-how, but once you learn it, it's easy and you'll never cry about losing root.

I'd make a walk-through if only we had a forum! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HippoMan:
I second your request, createpassword.

Or if this info about how to intercept and root the updates is already posted somewhere, could someone point us to these instructions?

Thanks.

This is my first Samsung device and I haven't even opened the box yet, BUT, typically any OTA firmware updates are saved to the phone first. From there, you can grab them, root them, and the reflash them.

I'll have more time to play after this week, so I can put something together.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HibikiRush:
Question for those with the phone, is there a way to make the caps lock work as a shift instead? Whenever I press the capitalization arrow it capitalized all the text after that -- I just want it to capitalize the next letter. Also the same goes for the Alt key, it seems like it remains on so I have to press it after I write whatever symbol. A bit annoying as it seems more efficient if it was just modified a single character instead of continuously.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] onebornoflight:
Lol we should just take over one of these forums and start posting there::silly:: or carry on our conversations in the new forum request board ::sillier::

In all seriousness... devices that aren't even available yet seem to also have forums too. Wow.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HippoMan:
Try downloading and using a different keyboard. I've been using "TouchPal". That and most other 3rd-party keyboards I've tried seem to use those keys as shifts and not as locks.

Some of the other, more popular keyboards (like "A.I.Type" and "SwiftKey 3") have problems with the qwerty keyboard on the T699. Also, both of them have problems with physical keyboards on certain other devices under ICS.

But so far, "TouchPal" is working well. Also, like "A.I.Type" and "SwiftKey 3", "TouchPal" has the option of learning your typing habits and offering predictions, and this can speed up your typing, in addition to handling the Caps and Alt keys as "shifts".

.​
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HibikiRush:
Awesome, TouchPal did the trick! I was using the default Samsung keyboard as I use the hardware keyboard most of the time. You would think there would be better compatibility on the Samsung input method with the keyboard...... Thanks for the info!

Frequent dropped connections with Google Play Store?

I just went there and posted a question. Thanks!

By the way, my question has to do with the frequent dropped connections I'm getting at the Google Play Store on my rooted T699. I have to fix it by periodically clearing data and cache for the Play Store and restarting that app.

Is anyone seeing this problem on the rooted T699? If so, do you know of any fix that goes beyond periodically clearing the cache and data for that app?

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] pudgybunnyBry:
Have you cleared your caches through CWM? I haven't had any of the problems mentioned in this thread after that.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] wuziq:

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HippoMan:
Yes, this indeed seems to have worked.

I should have wiped the cache from the beginning, given that this root bundle was an image generated from an already configured phone ... and a different model, to boot.
