Re: [HOW TO GUIDE] ★ Flashing Rom with JVU before Custom ROM + EXTRAS ★

Hey man after I follow your guide, I have no longer 3G connection, I mean, I have 2G but never enter again in 3G. I already configure the APN's of the phone but even that fix the problem. I'm from Mexico so, do you know which CSC can I flash yo get the 3G back?

Re: [HOW TO GUIDE] ★ Flashing Rom with JVU before Custom ROM + EXTRAS ★

Well I flashed the gingerbread ROM and rooted it, later I flashed the jelly bean ROM and everything went fine. The only issue is no matter what I do I can't get 3G... So I think if I flash a different CSC maybe that fix the problem but I don't know if I'll flash over this ROM or I need to do it all over again... And specially don't know which CSC I must flash... :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwOkie:
Try toggling airplane mode on and off see if that helps as for CSC for JB Rom I dont know sorry as JB and CM have many bugs thats why i stick to GB more stable and easier to work with

GT I9000 2.3.3 To CM10-Please Help

Dear OP/Friend,

Please help , have spent 48 hours struggling to get SGS I9000 (initial version 2.3.3 , Gingerbread XXJVO) . Long story short ,

1) Copied JB 4.2.2 , Gapps to SD card

2) Backed up SMS, Contacts, Apps , Calls

3) Installed ClockWorkMod v3.0.0.5

4) Downloaded Rom manager and booted in backup mode, took back up.

5) Removed Sim card Installed JB 4.2.2 , found No Network , not sure what happened ,So thought will go back to my initial version (2.3.3)

6) Started in recovery mode and tried to get back to old version , selected the version and tried , then phone restarted.

7) Now comes the problem , Phone was on startup screen , with "S" . So removed battery and tried to go to the recovery mode again and tried to see the contents in SD card , but its showing as Can't mount /sdcard ,All the time its going directly to CWM recovery...where I cannot load Files from SD card (as its not mounted) or if I reboot again its coming to the same screen...

8) Tried all the ways , formatted SSD card , flashed 2.3.3 again , but nothing working.

Now I need to get my phone up and running , as soon as possible . I am looking for jobs and without the phone and my contact details , I will be really struck , Please help me ..

Kind regards

Raj
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwOkie:
Dont need to remove Sim to Flash rom for a start..

Use my ODIN and Files

Remove Kies from Computer if you have it no use anyway...reboot PC when Done

Open ODIN attach phone in Download mode.. Tick Re-Partition and make sure all 3 are ticked on the left

Open up PIT PDA PHONE CSC and put in files which Guide tells you....

Hit Start.. >>follow Guide

When phone boots up after S logo go into Download mode again and Root it...

Thats you got 2.3.6 Stock rooted!

EwOkie, since you are using Saurom ROM, you should probably know. It mentions that there is an aroma installer, something interactive when flashing it. I used your ODIN FILES, and I tried stock JWB + semaphore kernel from Saurom ROM thread, whenever I start to flash it, I get no interaction from it. Is there some special CWM version that enables aroma interactive installer?

If you read the Rom Theme (mine) it mentions to use Stock Theme Installation with Aroma for My Theme is that what you meant?

SGS GB XXJVU fails to mount SD card- dbdata.rfs not working

Hi EwOkie,

Thank you for your thread. After the last undate on SB 4.3 my SGS I9000 was bricked. I followed your instructions and installed the GB JVU ROM and then rooted the phone. However, each time I turn off the phone or go to recovery to flash a zip the phone sticks on the initial screen "Samsung- Galaxy I 9000", because it failed to mount the SD card. I solved the problem installing dbdata.rfs, and installed Semaphore kernel 2.7.4. Now the phone remains sticked on the initial screen although I installed several time dbdata.rfs. It seems that a file is lacking to allow the kernel read the SD card. Could you help me?

Thank you

Don't panic, you will probably revive your phone with download mode.

If it is for sure GT-i9000 and nothing else, visit my thread and flash a GB bootloader as described (you can download it from the OP):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2444308

If you're lucky, it will normally reboot then.

If that doesn't work, try to flash any custom ROM with PIT file. Except your data, all else should work fine. You may save your data with ADB maybe.

Don't use Odin 1.85 for flashing the bootloader! It isn't fully compatible with the i9000, but there are many guides like this one that recommends using it.

Good luck.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Using Odin 1.85 (that often works but in fact isn't fully compatible with the i9000) and not running Odin as administrator has hard bricked the devices of some users for Odin 1.85 sometimes stucked in the middle of flashing the bootloader. It is an outdated info.

For the rest, your guide is still excellent, except for the meanwhile dead download links. Maintaing the OP might bring it to the old shine :)

[Xperia Z General] keenan316:
Hi guys, just want to get your opinions on something I'm rather struggling with....

My contract is over and I'm now in the market for something new!

However, now the question! For the last 3 months I could'nt wait to upgrade to the Note 2, but now this Xperia Z has cought my attention whole heartedly!

The options:

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (white) with 1000 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited data.. No upfront handset costs on a 24 month contract for £31 a month...

Or

Sony Xperia Z (black) with 500 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited data.. No upfront handset costs on a 24 month contract for £26 a month...

I use around 200 minutes a month so both are more than enough!

I'm gravitating towards the Xperia, but dont know if I'll get on with the soft buttons and I never use the S-pen, so no selling point there..

I am however a massive MIUI freak, so neither "Touchwiz" nor "Xperia" launchers will satisfy me in deciding this myself!

Which one would you choose?
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
the XZ is faster more update tech, XPeria always has great developer support in part due to the excellent source release from Sony, since the MI2 phone runs the same SOC I can imagine it would not take to long to get MIUI on the XZ.

if you love popsicle colors or you find viewing angles very imported it's better to get the note 2 or wait for newer Samsung devices
[Xperia Z General] futurama:
I had the Note for a year absolutely loved it, it was actually my second 5" phone, I was one of the first adopters of the Dell Streak 5.

Upgraded to the note 2 in november 2012, I loved that even more than the note 1, but i have been won over by the xperia z's looks, camera and waterproofing. I pre ordered from clove last week, and just sold my note 2, so the net cost to me was about £120.

If you can afford to buy a hand set out right you should, put a GiffGaff card in there, I worked out my last contract over 24 months was costing me 180 quid a year more than just getting the hand set out right and using the giff gaff £12 deal that comes with unlimted data.
[Xperia Z General] keenan316:
Someone at work told me about GiffGaff, really worth thinking about, but spending £400 - £500 out right in one purchase seems to leave a more noticable void in your pocket than a marginal £26 a month.. :(

on contract from Tmobile it'll work out at £600 over 2 years on contract, but if I were to buy the handset at £500 + £10 a month for 24 month it'll work out more expensive at £740 all in, so idealy the Tmobile contract is the way to go...
[Xperia Z General] stiffi2011:
Nearly the same experience for me. Had the Note 1, and my contract was up. The only difference is I'm in the USA.

So, I could get the Note 2 right now, but nothing else (newer). I am waiting out the Mobile World Congress to see what pans out from all manufacturers.

I decided the Note 2 was not much of an upgrade at the on contract price ($299 from ATT). Now if there is a price drop in the next 2 weeks, I may cave in!
[Xperia Z General] amerikian:
I'll be selling my Note 2 and pile of accessories for about $600 on ebay (going rate) to cover most of the cost of the xperia z. I'll be out of pocket about $150 bucks. The camera and water/dust proofing are the main features that sold me on this device. When i bike to work I can throw this bad boy right on my handlebars with an 'eposed' mount and not have to worry about rain, snow, or dust while still having full access to my phone. I am thinking of holding out for the C6606 for the LTE but currently use the N7100 which doesn't have LTE so I can live without it....we'll see.
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
I'm also coming from the Note n7000.

For me the choice was quite easy, since I can sell my Note.

Look at it this way: You pay less for a newer phone? What else is there to doubt about.:confused::angel:

I can't say which one is better since I haven't had any of the 2 in real life.
[Xperia Z General] keenan316:
So you're choosing the Xperia?
[Xperia Z General] maverick1103:
I also have a Note 2 (N7100) and I'm exchanging it for a Xperia Z (long story) in the last year I've had One X, S3 and Note 2.

Main reasons I'm going for XZ is camera, Sony excel in this area. Also Note 2 is slightly too big, I've got used to it but one handed use is impossible, most nights I drop it on face lol! So having a phone that I find a reasonable size I'm looking forward too!
