I'm using the Odin3 from DG's page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

I do not get to choose what installs, however, I have Odin3v1.85 Multi Downloader that allows me to select files. Could you link me to a ROM that I should use?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Try GB 2.3.5 i897ucKK4
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jergling:
Ok, my question then would be - Bootloaders or no bootloaders? (I'm assuming I should go with bootloaders unless told otherwise)

EDIT: Bigger problem - the phone is taking longer and longer to recover from crashes. Last time I only waited a matter of minutes before it could get back to download mode, this time I've waited 20 and it still hasn't fixed itself.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
U may have some hardware issues then.

But if it gets going u will need the GB Bootloaders in order to run GB.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jergling:
Damn, it's really unresponsive now. 50 minutes wasn't enough this time. I'm getting worried, I can't remember how many tries it took last night, and I really need my phone back. A failed flash during the transfer of factoryfs.rfs shouldn't hardbrick anything, should it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Nope. That should not at all. Just a failure during the boot.bin and/or sbl.bin would cause a hard brick...or mismatched bootloaders between froyo and gb.

Which specific Odin3 one click did u use ?? Gotta link to it or the thread ??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jergling:
BTW I haven't even tried GB yet. I'm still waiting for it to "cool down" from the last crash. I don't know why it's doing this now, since I had it in download mode an hour and a half ago and didn't crash it or anything.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jergling:

Ok thx. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't the Stock jf6 with the "3 button fix".

Well i hope it gets going for ya. Not sure what could be the problem.....do u have another battery to try out in the phone ?? -- Just tryin to think of what may have gone awry.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jergling:
I don't think it's the battery, though just before I flashed I had a 0% battery level erroneously detected.

UPDATE: The device is starting again, but now it only shows up in windows as "unknown device" and windows reports that it's malfunctioning. I'm restarting now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jergling:
Sorry for the double post, I think this is relevant though.

Now that the phone powers on to the download screen, I can plug it in to the computer but now receive an "Unknown Device!" error. Honestly this is just ridiculous, especially since I had no trouble transferring some of the Odin files. I'm downloading Puppy Linux now to see if Heimdall will pull me out of this.

UPDATE: The first time I started Heimdall on Linux it was able to detect the phone, but failed after the LOKE handshake part. Now it no longer sees the phone. I'm beginning to think there's something wrong with the USB port, even though it worked fine for file transfers just 2 days ago.

UPDATE 2: Good news everyone! The same linux install on a different laptop was able to see the device, and Heimdall could get all the way to "rebooting device" using the cyanogenmod kernel. However, the CM package doesn't seem to include bootloaders, so I can't actually start up the phone after downloading. I just realized that 4-2 also linked to Heimdall compatible bootloaders, so I'll be trying those now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jergling:
UPDATE 3: It turned out the problem was with the first laptop's USB setup. Every port is attached to an internal replicator, which I believe was the problem. I hooked it up to an old Toshiba and the Heimdall version of UCKK4 installed flawlessly. Now I'm running CM9 and it's amazing. Thanks 4-2ndtwin!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WolfShooterX:
im stuck in the loading animation of ICS right now and my phone wont start, since my power button is broken i cant boot into recovery to wipe cache... is there some way i can boot into recovery console without the power button? can i used odin to start into recovery console?

please help! :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serafo:
if your phone is off the only way to connect it to your pc is booting it(bootloader or normally).. so power button is the only way. I was using android sdk and the toolkit but I hope there is a program for this situation even if I don't think so :(

instead if you can start your phone in bootloader mode but when you boot it loops in the starting animation means there is something wrong with your rom/kernel and you have to flash something new (you can do it in fastboot mode using one of the two programs I've mentioned before)

However I've not understand the situation fully... if your power button is broken how can you be in the loading animation??? :/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WolfShooterX:
i can restart the phone by putting a USB or power cord into the phone, i cant turn it on with the power button.. because of that is why i cant get to recovery console, but i can get into the bootloader screen, but none of my buttons work there... also i got a jig USB, so i can get into download mode, but im missing the files to use ODIN to re-image the phone... :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serafo:
I'm not familiar with odin but if you can boot your phone in fastboot mode I think you can flash every file or make a wipe from your pc like with sdk for example.. you have just to search for the commands.. sorry if I can't be helpful
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petenatas:
Did you explore the idea of repairing your power button ? Seems like a good solution
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WolfShooterX:
lol, yeah... but want to boot it at least.... which i did with Odin :victory:

now, does anyone know where i can get the files to root a nexus s with odin? :confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anshumandash:
I have never used Odin with Nexus S, never needed that. As you are able to boot, you may look at the following thread to get the script for rooting your phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544940

Remember, this process will unlock the boot loader if it is locked and unlocking boot loader will delete all files, even from the internal SD card. So you may consider having a complete backup on your computer.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zabatov:
I make a little trick to fix this case. I disassembled my phone for get motherboard with button in my hands. After it I "played" with power button: push, sway from side to side and kick it by finder nail. After all assembled phone and now the power button works fine.

well the title says it all.

after the tragic drowning of my beloved mh-100 :crying: .

i was looking into

getting a new one and man is it so confusing:confused:

*my criteria :fingers-crossed: :

-1st and foremost SOUND QUALITY (correct reproduction of highs and lows)

-2nd battery life

-3rd decent signals

I've got a budget of around 100$

*some of the headsets i was looking into: backbeat 903+,mw-600,s9-HD,HBS700

hope somebody helps, would be very thankful :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scissors_cut_paper:
If you're an audiophile I'd recommend avoiding bluetooth. I've been through 4 Bluetooth adaptors,the latest of which is a sony mw-600. I use shure headphones,and have a decent music system,and through both the sound is noticeably lower quality,almost like the bitrate has been lowered. Makes the music sound smudged. :( makes me sad,I like wireless.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdoblo:
I bought a mw 600 because reviews said it was good sound quality, well, belive me, its not, sounds like music has been recorded at 64k sometimes, waste of money, anything approaching loud and it distorts, and as for the design of the volume slider, must rank among worst ideas ever. Swapped with my mate for a 5 year old Nokia headset, sound quality much richer, fuller bass and doesn't distort even at max volume, compares well even against my gf's beats in ear wired headphones and they sound amazing. Use Power Amp!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
I'm always using my old Nokia BH 505 + PowerAmp.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daft*mau5:
Thank you all for helping me out

The problem is that I realize that wired headphones will always continue to have better sound quality but the wireless headphones are much more ergonomic that said and after feeling the difference of sound quality I decided to buy the best wired headphones that a hundred bucks could buy so if its not much to ask I would appreciate any opinions and accept them with an open mind and hope that this topic would be a future reference to new comers in a very heated subject that :confused: a lot of people

So what's your favorite headphones under 100$
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmo198:
like many posted above. wireless headphones just dont cut it with wired headphones, and if ya really do love your music, use an ipod for your music playback. I find most phones DSP just arent all that good. but a really good earphone would atleast make it sound abit better. I myself uses the Sennheiser IE8 earphones. might cost an arm and a leg. but is one of the best earphones currently.

however to answer your question with earphones for $100, to be honest. most sub $100 earphones arent all that different than a good name branded (Sennheiser/Sony/skullcandy/kicker/etc) $30 earphones. you just paying extra for fancy packaging and brand name title. once again, be it a pair of earphones/headphones or even speakers for your home stereo or car. those sound producing devices is one thing I dump the most money on. because at the end of the day they are the only thing you will ear the most difference. a $1000 speakers system on a $20 cd player will always sound better than a $1000 cd player with $50 speakers system.

That said, if you can dig deep into your pocket, try the iBeats in ear headphones or Klipsch S4.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daft*mau5:
Thanks for the quick reply

First I must clarify one important thing , I really believe in specialization(i.e using a high quality pamp to listen to music) but carrying two devices in my pocket is just a deal breaker

Two questions if that's not too much to ask

will the s4 have a big gain over 30$ monitors (which is the best)?

If I one day consider buying a budget pamp which one will provide the best music experience ( other than the ipods -i HATE apple)?

And once again thanks for the reply
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmo198:
FIRST: pre-amp arent really use on personally earphones/heaphones. It is mostly used on home hi fi big headphones. (you know those giant ear cup ones)

SECOND: yes and no. all pre-amp will do is make it kinda louder lol. when buying earphones/headphones look at the Impedance on them. most have pretty high ohm and that means more power is needed to produce a meaner punch sound. reason I went with the Sennheiser IE8 earphones is because it has a very low impedance: 16 Ohm to be exact. for more details google impedance and ohm on speakers/headphones/earphones. will give you greater details.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chomanator:
I seem to be having issues with every ROM concerning cell signal. I can't get 2G/3G signal at all, and can only get 4G signal when in the right area (as expected).

I think it has something to do with my malfunctioning WiFi. It constantly just tries to turn itself on, with no success. I'm quite positive that my WiFi is broken due to hardware problems (internal coaxial cable, etc) as I have flashed several ROMs and radios with no positive results in order to try to fix it. I've even tried unrooting and returning back to stock.

What I was wondering is it possible to permanently disable WiFi on the MT4G so that I can try to get around this issue?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEindian:
You could flat out take out the wifi radio chip.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chomanator:
Ah, THEindian. To what do you I owe you for the grace of your presence? :)

The problem with that is really just that I don't have the torque screwdrivers or a phillips small enough to disassemble the phone. I was looking more for a software "fix". I'm not really even positive that the WiFi has anything to do with causing issues with the 2G/3G reception.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ...Awesome...:
Delete the WiFi Modules from system/libs modules folder and it will disable delete Wifi
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEindian:
Its under system/lib/modules/bcm* to be exact.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chomanator:
The only file in that specified in that folder is "bcmdhd.ko" removing this file will fix my issue?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Yes. That's the wifi module.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chomanator:
So, I renamed the file to have a .bak extension. It did accomplish what I wanted to (disabling the wifi and preventing it from turning on constantly) but it did not fix the real issue of not being able to recieve 2G/3G signal. I don't know what else to do. :(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEindian:
Apn issue? Are you on Tmobile?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Buy some tools and crack her open.

Sounds like a brutal crime, doesn't it?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chomanator:
Yes, I am a T-Mobile US customer. APN settings should be correct according to the support docs on the T-Mobile site. I've made a few other adjustments to this ROM's build.prop to the wifi settings. Set it to use eth0 as the interface for a while rather than wlan0. Still hoping there's a software fix for this mess. :(

That seems to be the only option I have left. I just fear that I'm going to break something and then revert back to using an old Samsung Gravity because that's the only other GSM phone I have. :( I'll have to find a place that sells small enough torque screwdrivers as well as a phillips head small enough to take off the screw under the "Void" sticker.

I'm actually thinking about using my friend's old unlocked iPhone 3GS for a while (maybe they even refarmed the 1900's around where I live to get 3G by now) until I can scrape up the cash to get a One S.

I'll put the whole story of my phone's downfall here to see if somebody can figure out what it is, or maybe even try to prevent it happening to others.

Bought the phone back in February 2011, and it worked perfectly fine up until April 2012. During this time I was running a Sense 4.0A ROM (can't recall the name) and my phone had died from battery drain. When I charged it up and turned it back on, my WiFi was no longer functioning. It would just repeatedly attempt to turn on and switch itself off again.

I flashed several different ROMs and radios to try to see if I could fix it. No luck. I then suspended my line from T-Mobile's service from June 2012 up until 2 weeks ago. When I had my service restored, I no longer had 2G/3G connectivity. By this, I mean when I'm in an area that does not have 4G coverage, I'm greeted to a "Limited Signal" message and cannot send texts or make calls. If the area has 4G coverage, I can do everything as normal with no problems.

I flashed several other ROMs to see if it was just an issue with that, no luck there either. I then just proceeded to unroot and return to stock. I was never successful in turning the S=ON (none of the guides posted worked) but did lose root privs and bring myself back to Stock Froyo.

None of this has worked so far. Since then, I've re-rooted and reflashed cnote's ICS MIUI build and here I stand.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] greystealth:
Much better and lighter than Touch Down. I haven't noticed any battery drain at all. The interface is so much cleaner too. As for Enhanced Email, I agree that it works well but it's still not as fluid as stock ICS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] umpire7777777:
I don't have measurable numbers, but it's based on stock with extra features and more robust. Works better with exchange than the stock version. I use it with 1 exchange account and its never near the top of the battery usage list.

There will be an update soon with an updated interface.
