[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Finalnull:
Ahh that's what I was looking for. Trying to figure out if Odin is a closed bios or if I could do something to screw it up. LoL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Odin is download mode, part of the firmware related to the bootloader as long as your bootloader is intact download mode will be intact, its entirely seperate from the rom, kernel/recovery, and data partitions. If you want to wipe both or one SD card(internal or external) you can format them from recovery.

ETA: download mode will work even without a rom or kernel on the device, its entirely self-contained in its own partition along side the bootloader and unless you manage to delete the bootloader partition, which will hardbrick your phone, download mode will work. If you've ever had an HTC device download mode is similar to the part of hboot that allows you to run an RUU to restore your device. Kies, Odin and heimdall use download mode as a way to restore/update the rom,kernel/recovery, data, bootloader(if there's an updated version) and modem partitions

We are legion, for we are many.

I flashed FI03 and Agat's repack, but don't see a yellow triangle. Does that show up when I boot?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Finalnull:
Ahhhh OK. So Odin does not have it's own chip to reside in, it shares the memory space through partitions with everything else.

Awesome answer, thank you very much!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Long story short, I lost my IMEI. After reading a lot and trying a lot of thing, I was able to restore the product code but still, my IMEI is a generic one.

I can still access network and make calls, but it bugs me so I have yet one last thing to try; revert to stock eclair rom.

Only thing, I can't find any of those...

Actually, I "found" I9000UGJH2 but when I push it with Odin, I get a boot loop (with the samsung logo)

So, doest anyone can provide me with a stock Eclair rom?

IE:

-I9000UGJH2

-I9000DTJG4

-I9000UGJG8

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_knight35:
Get a GB stock ROM and flash it via Odin...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
FYI: If I ask for a specific version I have already tried those easely available, from JL2 to KG3 to JL2 then upgrade via kies to KG3.

as stated on the original request, I want to test eclair as it was the original rom on it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_knight35:
Then try FroYo. It's better than Eclair.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Bro, you have to learn to read...

JL2=froyo

KG3=GB

ALL ALREADY TRIED...

I specificaly asked for those rom FOR A REASON!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kaynpayn:
Hey.

Take a look at samfirmware, a quick search told me they have it there. You need to register (think it's still free, i haven't gone there in a while)

http://www.sammobile.com/

I've seen there:

Android 2.1	I9000HVJH1

Android 2.1	I9008ZMJG1

Android 2.1	I9000DXJG4

Android 2.1	I9000DDJF2

so pick your poison and good luck.

Also, since your chances of actually recovering imei that way are 50% at this point (it'll either work or not :p ), i'll also leave a document that tells you how to rebuild the /efs folder. Sorry, portuguese was the only language i found this (picked from another forum). I guess you can always use google translate if you need or shoot me a pm if you have any trouble understanding the language at some point, i'll be glad to help.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/...NQ__7Xmy7vS7KTxY/edit?authkey=CL3S_f8M&pli=1#

Again, good luck with that. I'm guessing if you ever recover your imei, an /efs backup will be the first thing you'll do :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
None of them actually works when you click on "download" on samfirmware.com

Thanks for the guide, I'll check this out!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dreamer94:
Listen carefully;

The reason why you got a boot loop while flashing eclair,that could happen if you're flashing ONE FILE ROM (which is same as rooting,onnly PDA)..

I %100 recommend that;

Flash a rom that HAS 3 FILES ,and with that , also PIT file which makes it 4 files BASE flashing...

Roms that are containing 4 files..

XXJVU (2.3.6 GB)

XXJVQ(2.3.4 GB)

JVQ could looks like older but belive me flash JVQ then you can GET JW4 latest offical european Value Pack firmware FROM KIES!.

All you have to do ;

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_UDv0VHoyaRak95b0NSX3Q1Tlk/edit?pli=1 download this (this is my recovery rom :) )

in zip file,there are 4 files and they are;

s1_odin_20100512.pit (which goes to PIT in odin)

CODE.tar (which goes to PDA in odin)

MODEM.tar (which goes to PHONE in odin)

CSC.tar (which goes to CSC in odin)

MAKE SURE RE PARTITION is CHECKED.Then flash it .)

After that when you get your imei back,

type *#272*imeinumber# in dialer then change CSC to XEU (united kingdom).. Then connect to kies and voila!!!!!! You 'll get JW4 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Again, thanks for the heads up but I NEED an eclair rom for a SPECIFIC reason, a specific test, I have already tested GB and Froyo and it doesn't work.

I don't need it for JW4 or any other already available rom out there, I can already flash them with Odin or flash with CWM.

So, if anyone has the 3 files for I9000UGJH2 and can provide it, please let me know! I can provide an FTP for you to drop it.

BTW, I've tested the portugeese walktrough to no result.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dreamer94:
Hmm.Okey then but ,if gb/froyo flashing didn't get your imei back..I dont think eclair wont get that too :(

Is it must be UGJH2? Or any other eclair roms.. ?

Sorry for your imei bro btw...i hope you can get it back... Did you ever take a backup of your efs folder on any custom roms before this thing happened?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Switiz:
try to flash any eclair rom you find,preferably stock
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
I would think that, since the IMEI and Product number are "related" (in the /efs folder), it would need to, at least, have the product code (sell code, with *#272*IMEI#), that's why I'm looking for thoses specific roms.

And no, I didn't made a backup prior to this... :S
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zakrilex:

Would you mind to tell me how? because i lost my generic imei too. Thanks...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Wow, that was long ago!

I think you can change your product code this way:

But for the IMEI, you'll have to get it reprogrammed by a provider or something similar.

hi everyone

I flash this rom (CleanView Ice V1.3 ) for my "ite" viewpad7

touch screen is not work

how do i to rescue my viewpad7

i'm so loved is.....

is related to the kernel???

could you help me??
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Just to be sure, do you see the screen of Android / Welcome & Setup - press Next to continue and no response ?

If so, download the "other" CVI V1.3 for non-ITE (there is 2 variant - that is if you cannot get it to work with ITE variant) & copy/move to mSD card, boot into Recovery, do a full wipe and select the non-ITE zip, flash & let it boot up, be patient as it will take up to 10 minutes - it should respond to touch ... continue w. setup & enjoy.

If not, please be more specific about your problem(s) and any error messages, etc. on your screen.

Good luck & backup, backup & backup - especially before major changes or switching ROM ... to a secure & safe file storage location somewhere else. :fingers-crossed:

Hey guys!

The reason I'm posting this is because I have an issue with the animations when pressing the stock dialer keys.

When I got my Nexus it worked just fine, but after a while it dissapeared.

Now when I press the keys there are no fade in and fade out effects. I flashed back the stock rom: nothing. Now using Codename Android and still the same.

It really isn't THAT important but it's like a mistery to me (why that effect dissapeared).

Anybody???

No competition here, just get Cerberus, why you ask?

1.You can inject it into the system rom using a using a zip from recovery, will never be removed until phone is flashed, or you decide to remove it, immune to factory reset.

2.You can specify 3 phone numbers that can control your phone via sms commands in case there is no data connection.

3.Notifies you when an unauthorized sim is used and sends you (usually) the new sim number, always will send you the new sim serial number and carrier info.

4.Can be totally hidden and u only can bring it up using a dialer number.

5.You can remotely control your phone cameras, microphone, shoot videos, wipe data, lock screen, activate emergency calls only mode, shut data off, turn it on, and wipe the phone or the sd.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] skycamefalling:
You have to allow the file manager to go up to the main directory (you usually can do this in the settings of the file explorer).

The path for the SD-Card is

/mnt/ext_card

while the internal storage is

/mnt/sdcard
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Manyak_izh:
What file manager are you using? Maybe you should go level up and /mnt/sd-ext instead of /mnt/sdcard ? /mnt/sdcard is internal storage and /mnt/sd-ext is your micro-sd

Jelly bean is slow as **** for me. I guess most of the people just can't notice that jb's animations and reaction time when touching the screen is just delayed.

I've been frustrated with my nexus not acting fast untill i tried one combination. I'm i9023 user and this combo is just perfect for my phone. No input lag whatsoever, no animation lag, everything is just fast and instantly responsive. Give it a try and tell me what you think.

Cm9.1 stable:

Air kernel 4.4:

Gapps:

http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip

Use it with apex launcher, because trebuchet may lag when opening app drawer. To avoid dialler lag, i suggest using exdialer, it's downloadable from the market.

Please try that and let me know if I'm the only one who sees the difference :)

Even the keyboard is just faster than on jb. Scrolling, switching between windows, statusbar is more responsive. Try and tell me what you think.

Sometime I wonder how come poeple say jelly bean is faster than ics. First impressions are good, but after very short time of usage jelly bean is full of slow ****. Every rom based on jb is just slower than this combo.

Xperia ROM

Hi,

For all of you who are not happy with the speed of Nexus S, try using this rom -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1827071&highlight=xperia

I can assure it is definitely much faster than the stock ICS or jellybean ROMs. If you have been using the stock Nexus S ROMS, you will see noticeable difference in the colours. They are much better on this Xperia ROM and does not have that yellow shade. I love the ROM and believe me I have tried almost every ROM available on XDA for for Nexus S.

Though there are 2 issues, for which I haven't found any solution, it blocks the calls coming from unknown numbers and you do not even see a missed call. And you can't use the default screen locks. But apart from these, the ROM is rock solid, never crashes or hangs, everything works fine and it is ultra smooth.

If you think your phone is running slow, I highly recommend this ROM. Everyone should give this ROM at least a try.

Let me know if I helped by clicking Thanks :)

I don't really notice a difference speedwise between ICS and JB. They are both a little slower than GB was, but not unbearable. The added features of ICS/JB are well worth it IMO.

Overclocking a little bit can help, although it can hurt battery performance a bit.

Are you implying that every end-user of android phones should learn to root or install custom roms/kernel to get a DECENT experience? While I'm content to see Google supporting a device almost 2 years after its release (Apple does that as well btw), I'm kind of feeling disgusted about the overall user experience, laggyness, crashes, random reboots and decreased battery life. I wish Google released a FINISHED product/operating system and not leave its customers in a sort of beta-testing fog.

I'd suggest backing up your data and wipe your whole device like a madman. Format.

And start from scratch with the rom of your choice

I think the problem has to do with the way memory is managed in ICS/JB... I still can't find found a recent ROM that will keep the launcher in memory no matter what. That's terrible for user experience! None of the task or memory manager apps in the Google Play Store seem to help either.

So I somewhat reluctantly did a full wipe, unlock and installed a clean image of the latest JB in the hopes that it might speed things up. The only time I've done this since I bought my Nexus S on launch day in December 2010.

It was still unacceptably slow; in fact it made no difference at all - which is a good thing because it confirms my suspicion that Google are quite capable of deploying incremental software updates which don't trash system performance.

So I just downgraded to 2.3.6 and am delighted to have a fast user experience back. if a little irritated to be using what is now a "retro" UI design.

Still, I will take speed over aesthetics any day of the week.

I may try one the Cyanogen ICS or JB image, but I have serious doubts that performance gains are there to be had. It seems ICS/JB simply requires more hardware resources than the Nexus S can offer.
[Nexus S General] kwibis:
No I'm not, but as the Nexus phones are developers phones why wouldn't you? Also the phone is old, so a factory reset at least wouldn't hurt anybody. Also android is not really beta if you ask me, but it can always be improved as can everything in this world.

Apple is just plain boring, one phone, same os, closed so it is very easy to make it look finished because there is nothing to it.
