Not sure, some of the other TouchWiz / Samsung phone guides may work. I wouldn't use any published pre-builts but if you run through the process manually (ie. compile stuff by hand yourself) you should be able to get it going.

Hi i tried to install the cwm recovery as stated in Op but unable to, anybody can help? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nicedream06:
You're gonna have to give us a little bit more info than that.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Modifier13:
i already had it rooted, but at point no. 5 `run adb shell' onwards im unable to do so..i also had the adb shell installed, so anything missing?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nicedream06:
Make sure you run 'adb shell', not 'run adb shell'

If that doesn't work, type 'adb devices' to see if the phone is recognized by adb at all.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Motorhead1991:
That will also work under a terminal emulator. If all else fails we will use odin.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Modifier13:
can you show me the steps then? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Motorhead1991:
From a terminal emulator:

su

dd if=/PATH/TO/Recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

For /PATH/TO/Recovery, replace with the actual location, i.e: if=/sdcard/recovery.img
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Modifier13:
is this done from the phone or? also could you show the method if done from odin. just in case if it fails. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Motorhead1991:
Yes... That's why it says "From a terminal emulator".

problems with rugby i847

I had CM installed on my device. After 1 day of usage the phone shows issues, i do not hear and i am not heard on the phone during a talk. i reinstall CM, then 1 day without bugs, then again everything returns

Hey guys, does anyone has got original firmware for the phone i847?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemonine96:
We have published the original firmwares. In the first post of this thread are links and instructions on how to flash back to stock using ODIN. We will NOT provide an ODIN image. Google and XDA search will yield numerous results for obtaining the software.

Also: there is no need to post the same question numerous times to the various Rugby Smart threads, the dev's are subscribed to them and do read them when they have a chance.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemonine96:

Thanks, should I seek ODIN image for this particular model Samsung Rugby i847? Sorry, I do not know what is ODIN image all about.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemonine96:
The ODIN images are in this thread, but you'll want to read up on ODIN and find the right exe (it's a Windows only tool) then flash.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] me.biturbo:

I had CM 9 installed on my Rugby i847. It worked poor. I decided to flash back to stock. I do as it says here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30347369&postcount=5

I am a real newbie.

I bought an unlocked AT&T SGH-i847 from Herman Street.

It is 'full' of AT&T software.

Can someone point me to a simple tutorial on how to get rid of this AT&T stuff?

I lost my SG2 (which was really easy to switch the firmware) but to switch the firmware on the SGH-i847 looks much more complicated and very dangerous, especially for a newbie.

I would be happy if just the AT&T stuff were gone.

Thanks,

Rob.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Motorhead1991:
Rooting and installing CyanogenMod/AOKP is really quite painless, just pay attention to what you're doing :).
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Robert.Thompson:
Accorging to 'Root Checker', my device is rooted.

Now, do i need to install a 'recovery'? What is a 'recovery'? What is it's purpose?

Thanks,

Rob.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Motorhead1991:
A recovery, in the stock sense, handles over the air (or OTA) updates, and can do a full factory reset. Aftermarket recoveries on the other hand allows the modification of the device.

If you look here: TWRP 2.5.0.0 I explain how to install TWRP recovery to the I847 (this applies to all recoveries).
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Robert.Thompson:
So, I think that I have installed TWRP 2.5.0 because the screens seem to be different but I really don't know.

Assuming that it is installed, how do I get rid of the AT&T firmware and replace it with something else? Right now my phones kernal is 2.6.35.7 & the build number is: GINGERBREAD.UCLH4. Basebrand version: I847UCLH4. Android version: 2.3.6

Thanks for any help,

Rob.

PS. Root Checker says that the device has root access.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Motorhead1991:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Robert.Thompson:
Help please...

Can someone please point me to a step by step way to get rid of the AT&T firmware on my SGH-i847 phone and replace it with a working android firmware?

Thanks,

Rob.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Motorhead1991:
The OP and ROM threads are pretty straight forward.

EDIT: The new kernel passed the bugfix with flying colors. In it's current setup, WiFi is broken due to mismatched firmware (easy fix, and the test kernel will have these packaged with them).

I am noticing mild stability problems, but I consider this normal for an experimental kernel. This should match my next ROM really well.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] grumpyspud:
Wonderful job on the TWRP.

Whoah.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tomlogan1:
Assuming you are rooted, all you need is an app like Root Explorer. If you are not rooted, it will not work. If you don't know what rooting is, there are plenty of explanations better than I could give. The short version is rooting gives you full access to all of the directories and subdirectories on your device. Once you have that ability, Root Explorer allows you to select a file and then delete it from your system.

I am new to this particular phone, but have used Root Explorer on many Android phones to do what you want. Google around before you do anything and you will find it's pretty simple, but don't hurry and read everything a couple of times before you do anything.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MagicMan3:
I'm looking at picking up a S3 to use on Bell in Canada. Is there any reason that either the i9300 or i747 is better than one another?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Halmo:
Key difference between the 2 is the i747 has a dual-core running on slightly newer architecture and the i9300 has a quad-core. The i747 also 2gb of ram compared to the i9300 which has 1gb. I believe that the i747 is slightly better for everyday use where the i9300 is slightly better for gaming, this is based on the hardware but I haven't had any issues gaming on my i747.

EDIT: Oh and I almost forgot the i9300 doesn't have LTE data speeds where the i747 does. IMO if you are going to be on Bell the i747 would be better so you can make use of the LTE speeds.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dunkaskunk:
They are completely different inside.

i9300

- Quad Core

- 1 GB Ram

- No LTE

i747

- Dual Core

- LTE modem

- 2 GB Ram

If you don't care about LTE support and want a phone that runs faster and games better then the i9300 is better.

If you need LTE speeds then you have to get the i747.

Personally my i747 seems to get very warm when gaming so maybe the i9300 doesnt run as hot because it would not have to work as hard.

Google will tell you all the differences between the phones ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MagicMan3:
Hmmm... tough one.

There is no LTE where I am, currently on my Note I peak around 19megs down so I personally don't really have a need for LTE and I don't game. So I guess it really comes down to better overall daily usage and battery life.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I'm pretty sure the Tegra 3 is based on Cortex A9 cores, while the Exynos in the i747 is based on Cortex A15 cores, meaning the i747 should destroy the i9300 in single threaded performance. Also, it has more RAM and LTE support.

However, if you want better developer support then I would go for the i9300 for sure.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dunkaskunk:
Actually the i747 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor at 1.5 GHz, and the i9300 has the Exynos 4412 processor at 1.4 GHz.

The snapdragon is a dual core using Krait architecture wich is 3 instructions per clock whereas the Exynos is quad core cortex A9 wich can do only 2 instructions per second. So based on that the Snapdragon in the S4 is much more efficient per clock cycle and therefore per core.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MagicMan3:
Thanks everyone, think I'll go with the i747

So both my wife (CM9) and I (CM10) were having issues receiving mms. We followed the recommendation of going to voice dialer - saying "A P N" and then making the following edit:

mms proxy to 0.0.0.0 and the port to 0

Thanks to whoever found this out so that mms now sails on through!

However, we then both started having problems with Pandora streaming on mobile data. Pandora would start, find the station, display cover art, but would stay on "Loading". After a 30 seconds - minute it would skip to the next song, but no music would play. On wifi, Pandora would stream just fine.

After a few days, I figured it must have something to do with the APN settings. I searched high and low and found this on the Evo boards. (Credit goes to where credit belongs)

Long story short, uninstall Pandora, and then download this older version of Pandora (1.5.12), install it, and then it streams just fine.

Hope this helps someone else as I know it frustrated the crap out of my wife and I.
[Epic 4G General] xm1337:
Oh my god, I've been having this problem with pandora for over a week now. Thank you SOOOO MUCH. I pay for pandora|one and use it as the radio in my car so not having this makes my commute much worse.

So do I need to change my MMS proxy to fix this, or is that something you did to fix something else. Wording is a little confusing.

So I just switch to this older version and its fine?

Edit: Changed the MMS Proxy and downgraded my pandora version. Works fine now.

Again, thank you so much. I did what I thought was some heavy googling about a week ago and gave up. I logged on to XDA today to grab a new rom to try a fresh install. Looks like I won't have to now. :D
