[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
Simple Google search would have shown you, then come here if you get into trouble..

Anyway, download cf-root, start into recovery, wipe cache. Switch phone off.

Boot phone into download mode, start Odin up on your computer (cos u already have the Samsung drivers don't you) select PDA and browse and select cf-root file, plug USB into computer, wait on Odin saying added, then hit start.

Then you can boot back into recovery and install a proper firmware on your phone. Like slim bean :) Good luck. Good advice for you is always do a good bit of reading before you start flashing things to your phone.

There's nothing like that sinking feeling when u hit ur first boot loop lol :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] O-T:
One more simple Google search will reveal nobody flash JB when running GB.

Then again, it won't be any hassle compared to why Odin don't finish flash, what cf-root version to use and how, re-partition?, that frikin' boot loop, soft bricked!?, lost my imei....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
Ive flashed JB from GB couple times, including on this phone I'm using now, and its running super slick.

And I specifically left out things like cf versions, that way he'll see many versions, and have to do a bit of Google learning.

Like I said in my post, told him to read read read. That way he will stumble across fixes etc for things that can happen, and not just read it like a list and not have a clue if something doesn't go to plan.

That's how I learned. :)

I have been trying to find it on google, but I could not get to any conclusion.

Thanks for your help.

Please, can you give me the link for cf-root and odin.

Also, please tell me the difference between recovery mode & download mode?

Thanks alot :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lakshaypatney:

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
If you don't know the difference between download and recovery mode then you are going to break your phone. Then you're going to have to do a lot more reading to figure out how to fix it.

Stop. Stop and read more on the subject. Do not rush or you will regret. Put odin away for the meantime. Download the Samsung drivers for your computer also.

If you have any questions you can pm me or I'll help you across MSN or something.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcnbama:
I am really stuck on Dead Trigger. It is such a fun game. My only concern is that over time I might wear out my screen. I guess that sounds kinda dumb but is it possible?I try not to press down when playing as I know it's just a touch screen, but it's kinda hard especially when you're fighting off hordes of zombies. LOL. So I was just curious if there is a shelf life for this sort of thing? Will the screen have issues from being pressed in the same place over and over?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatdude02:
Maybe... But with the quality that phones have to be made with, if the screen did wear down, you should be able to get it replaced. Besides, it would probably take so long to do, that by then, you will probably have a whole new phone.

From my understanding, phones these days should be able to take a fair bit of abuse. I doubt you will have an issue tho
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SlasheI2:
samsung hardware is pretty flimsy and their quality control is terrible if you've seen the horrible blotchy spots in low brightness.

Hello!

I have Galaxy Tab GT-P7500, Android 3.2 and I want to flash CWM and CM. I followed guide how to flash on CM site. Problem is, that I got stuck in first step, flash recovery.

I got to download mode, on screen is written ODIN3 Download mode (protocol v2.1). Then, I install driver with zadig tool with success (my device is callde SEC DEV and I don't know why) and run command

heimdall.exe flash --recovery zImage --verbose

I tried to do this procedure on 4 computers (in two of them there were no Samsung drivers at all, winXP, win7), I have original USB cable, I tried Odin, that didn't detect my tablet at all, I tried google for 4 hours without success. I tried everything. Be sure, that I know what I'm doing, because I flashed around 10 phones and two tablets for my friends, but I never got so stuck.

So, here is my question. Is i tossible, that my download mode has new protocol, that Heimidall can't handle? And is there any solution for this situation?

Thanks for any advice,

Ales
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgeos:
My tablet uses ODIN3 Download mode (protocol v2) and has the same problem: "ERROR: Failed to initialise protocol!"

I can use fastboot, Odin and nvflash to flash the tablet. If you want to flash with Odin, do you have drivers for your tablet installed? Kies should install the drivers. I think you can uninstall Kies after that. Also, make sure your device is plugged directly into your computer's USB port. Plugging it into a USB hub will not work! Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hladilek:
Ok, there is not problem in tablet version. But Odin doesn't work for me. It don't detect device (yellow field don't appear). USB is connected directly and I tried all combinations of drivers. You had success with Odin? Any other ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgeos:
Some people have had success with Odin by switching to a different physical box. Before doing that, maybe try every USB port one at a time?

FYI, Odin detects my device, but fails to flash system.img because the partition is too small. Heimall detects my device but fails "to initialise protocol".

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Helbelinc:
Hey,

this thread is fairly outdated so far, but still not solved.

I also encountered this problem and I got rid of the problem by entering the download mode through adb (and not via VolDown+Home+Power)

So, open your Terminal and type:

adb reboot download

After that I could succesfully flash a recovery.

This worked for me. If you have protocol initialisation error, try rebooting through adb instead of hardware.

When you change settings on note to Camera ( PTP ) and you have

installed , android transfer can see it as usb ( internal and external card ) and you can transfer files JUST like USB . BUT ! When I connect n8013 to mac and change settings on note to camera that's all that mac sees . Camera . and it's asking me to transfer videos and pictures to mac . My Question is this . Is it possible to find script with settings for usb connection on both notes , compare them change them so I can do the same thing with n8013 , and maybe when JB comes out do the same ? I know I am not the only one with this dilemma , you will be helping out to many people .

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
It'd been documented in some of the ROMs with some people (not all). I believe it has to do with the combination of APNs used for MMS and data. I don't believe there has been a true fix for it yet.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ourico4:
It's said friend but it's true, I had the same problem that u have in HTC Explorer. Here is the explanation!

With the old ROM I had (GB version) the thing was easy to control because you had a switch for data traffic and the MMS was nothing there (we could "play" with the APN).

Now with ICS what happens is that the same server to switch to lock / unlock both the traffic data and MMS, if we turn off one, we turn off the other ...

HTC desire Z ICS MMS problems.

Hello guys,

Since there was already a thread close to the problem i have i thought i'd put my post here.

I have been working on this problem for quite some time, the issue at hand is sending and recieving MMS's.

Before you ask, i am sure i am using the correct APN settings, my girlfriend has the same mobile and carrier (only difference is she is using 2.3)

I also have data enabled, and functioning without issues.

I have tried a combined APN setting for MMS and data, and i have tried them split.

I have also tried variants of the APN settings with ones included from a APN reset, ie port 9201 instead of port 8080, all without any luck.

I have tried upgrading my radio, i am currently using the latest radio for my phone.

My apn settings:

Name: Telenor DK
APN: Internet
MMSC: http_:_/_/_mms.telenor.dk (i have under 10 posts so cant post links, i have added "_"'s to go around this.)
MMS proxy: 212.88.64.8
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 238
MNC: 02
APN type: default,supl,mms

Sending MMS's it just hangs, trying to send it all the time, which never happens.

Recieveing an MMS i am unable to download the image.

I have tried tons of ICS roms for this phone, but without any luck, i was hoping someone could point me in the right direction, so i can get this issue resolved.

One rom i tried was the MIUI ICS build (unofficial), where i could send my SMS, however since the rom was too unstable i am unable to use it.

(i can have the phone on for max 5 mins and it reboots).

I have also tried Jelly bean, with the same bad luck (and camera broken).

I know i can downgrade to 2.3 to get MMS functioning, however i would like to use a more recent rom.

If you have a suggestion of maybe another rom i should try, i am all in for it.

Thanks in advance

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djgalning:
Well i've done some debugging, and alot of googling, i am actually forced to use seperate APN's for it to work otherwise there will be a connection refused.

Now here comes the problem, in android 2.2 and 2.3 etc it would disconnect from the data APN and connect to the MMS APN

In Android 4 and above it is surpost to connect to multiple at the same time, but the funny thing is, it does not work, so anyone that is forced to have a seperate APN for their MMS is basicly out of luck.

Maybe some nice hackers could take a look at this thread and maybe think up of a workaround for this.

Even if the workaround is to do what it used to do in GB etc, its still better than nothing.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djgalning:
Update, i tested mms apn settings without a data account, by setting apn type to telenor (this effectively breaks data), however i could send and recieve.

So i am now 100% certain my apn settings are correct and that its some sort of bug present from google's side (well if all roms i try have same problem the fault cannot lie with the rom devs, however googles 4.0 update instead)
