Hi Guys

I have a Samsung Galaxy s i9000 slim bean Rom the base band & IMEI unknown I can't seem to use it to sms or call a guy from the Slimrom site told the Rom has no modem, so how do i add one ? I realy like the Rom its much faster than the one I had before I had Cyanogen mod Helly bean before and about 2 weeks ago it got into a boot loop so I got a friend of a friend to root it for me twice and still have this no network issue! I can't ask him to do it again. So I am trying to find a solution here. How do I add a modem ? The wifi works fine but Whats app tells me that tablets are not supported... but this is not a tablet its a Samsung Galaxy s i9000 , will adding a modem fix the network issue and make Whats app work? Or do I need a new Rom? Please keep in mind that I'm not a Android Developer in any sense of the word!!

Thanks Reigncpt!!

..try a clean install just to make sure.

How do you do a clean install?

I followed the instructions on the slim bean site cleared cache partition and wiped dalvik cache and installed the latest version : Slim-I9000-4.2.1.stable.1.0-OFFICIAL .... but still the same issue IMEI and Baseband are unknown and I get no network.:confused: Did I do it wrong?:confused:

How do I do clean install? Do I need special software to do a clean install? If so where do I get it ?

I read somewhere on this forum that I need to flash the original rom to it to get it to find its IMEI and modem settings then flash the rom I want! Is the true? If so where do I get the original rom from as I got the phone with Cyanogen Helly bean on it so I don't even know what the original rom was??

Will really appreciate any help thanks!!!

Try this

Hi,

We can't be sure what the original ROM for your phone was, probably they we're referring to Eclair because that's the default. I have Galaxy S too so I wanted to help you. So here's what we will do, we might need to install an official stock ROM for it, we will not use froyo, instead this tutorial will let you install the latest GB for GT-i9000,GingerBread 3.6.

Here's the link (please hit thanks on the one who posted that if it will help you): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22555425

(You have to follow that tutorial up until this line only:

• When the phone reboots into the rom, wait for the setup wizard to appear and then just use the 3 key combo into the download mode again.

Close Odin and open it again> press PDA button and browse for CF-Root…file> Press START button and wait for the green pass notification in Odin.

**Lines after that, you don't need to do, since you will be flashing Slim rom. After that, your phone will reboot and you will be in the latest Gingerbread for Galaxy S, and a rooted one so you have a CWM)

After doing that, we will have to install Slim ROM. (a clean install, or fresh install, a clean install is this - wiping everything out, as in fresh install)

Here's what you need to do (straight from Slim Rom's website)

From another JB or ICS Rom to SlimBean

Download device_x.x.zip, slim_gapps.zip.

Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)

Flash Device_x.x.zip***, then MUST flash slim_gapps.zip (other files optional)

*** - If the flash is too quick ( < 5 seconds or so), reflash device before flashing common or other zip files.

(So that's what you need to do, just download the latest rom and the gapps for galaxy s i9000,

put it in the root of your internal sd card

Go to Clockwork mod (Turn off, then press DOWN, POWER, HOME simultaneously)

wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)

Install zip from sd card and you will have the latest Slim rom and hopefully you get your IMEI back)

Please reply if you have more questions or clarifications needed, you can also message me, i will reply as soon as i can.

Slimbean IMEI unknown fix i9000

Guys. I have used Slim bean firmware on 2 i9000 with no issues but my third had imei unknown. I tried all options. Basically it would be there from 2.2 to 2.3 but once rooted and CWM added, and I installed Slim I would loose imei. Tried imei backups- no good. Fix was easy. Install Hellybean instead. Just worked. I suspect there is an issue in slim unfortunately...

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shortyoko:
Leave battery out for some time (10 min.), then while holding vol- pres power key, DO NOT release vol- it should get in the bootloader, then simply just flash some rom from recovery. The important thing is to leave it 10 minutes first.

Or try something else, while the phone is off, insert the usb in it, with me it's turning on, it's cwm recovery bug, but a good one :) .

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] developerindeed:
I'm not sure at what condition is your phone right now. But the most common process I'm telling you is,

Take out your battery. Reinsert.

Hold down power button and volume down button all together until you get your screen emits light. This will take you to the fastboot menu. There select Recovery mode(no matter which recovery you're using). Like if you're usin ClockworkMod Recovery. In the menu, select wipe data/factory reset. Then go to mounts and format option. Mount /cache, /data, /system, /sd-ext(in case you're having a second partition). Remember NOT to mount sd-card. Right from the same menu, format boot, cache, system, data, sd-ext. This time again remember NOT to format sd-card otherwise you'll loose all your data. Now go back to main menu and select advanced option. There select wipe dalvik-cache to not to face low memory problems. Now go back. Select install zip from sd-card. choose zip from sd-card(choose the zip folder of a custom ROM). Install the package. Wait. After completion, reboot or you may have wipe data/factory reset before rebooting. These are the most common steps that works in almost every custom ROM. You can also follow the particular steps (if given) from anywhere you downloaded it. Wait for 2-5 or more minutes at the first boot as it take more time. The process may appears complicated but you'll find it easy when you'll do it.

Hope this thing will sort out your problem. Please hit 'Thanks' if I helped you or atleast do it for humanity that I typed that much for you.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Barkat.Paki:
I think he is having key combination problem.

@ S.alwaz

He should press volume down key first and then keeping the vol down key pressed, press the power as well. Now keep pressed both until bootloader appears. Enter recovery and follow the post above for flashing New ROM.

Pressing power first and then volume down key doesn't work. I checked here.

Hit "THANKS". It encourages me.

Hey , this was a problem for me when my pico went to recovery on connecting charger when phone was switched off..

then i flashed the yannou90's recovery and now it charges with the animation while its off...

not going into recovery when charger is connected...

And @cpgr

try this if it works...

1.)connect your phone to ac charger and leave for 30 minutes

2.)remove the charger and press the key combination as- press the volume down key and keep it pressed...now press the power key and keep both the keys pressed till the screen turns on... then leave the power key first and then the volume down key...

3.)now go to the recovery... [ is it working for you...??]....{ALSO, i recommend yannou90's cwm based recovery, you should try that as well if you already don't have it... :) }

4.)then wipe data/factory reset , wipe cache and install any Custom rom you like...

....

...

.

After this all.... give a detailed reply on whats not working for you...in the above steps...

i think these should work out great.... :D

best of luck

hei! I have a question! My Sony Xperia tipo is locked to one mobile network! It is safe to root it and Install a Rom in dev stage?:)

Tnx
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] 2010matej:
First of all move thread to Q&A section ;)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Dragoboss:
If your phone is locked to a certain mobile network (simlock), this has nothing to do with any ROM (usually).

If you install another rom, your phone will still be simlocked to that certain network you're using.

Now, for some ROMs, you need an "unlocked bootloader", others don't required an unlocked bootloader.

Note that if you DO unlock your bootloader, you will void your SONY warranty, and if your phone ever needs a repair they will be allowed to let you pay an extra fee because you voided the warranty.

Most root method's are save, but some things you can do AFTER you've rooted, are on complete own-risk, whereas some are dangerous and can damage your phone. (For example, after being rooted, messing with system files via i.e. Root Explorer, can damage your phone's software, therefore, it's on own risk. Damaged software is usually recoverable, by re-flashing firmware or using SEUS. (Some of this method's WILL wipe data, etc!)

Now back to the ROMs, as long as the ROM is stable and doesn't has GSM bug, or some others, it should be no problem.

Do note: you're talking about a "Dev Stage" rom, which means it isn't done being developed, and probably contains a few (possibly very many) bugs and fails.

If you're new to the world of Android, ROMs, etc, I do not recommend you to install a "dev stage" ROM, but again, you can do it, on own risk!

Good morning guys,

I see a lot of threads here about rooting 4.2.2, but in all of them it is recommended to root the phone by installing zip archive from a custom recovery.

I don't want to change stock recovery - is there any way to root it by flashing img from adb? I did it in this way on 4.2.1, by installing CF-Auto-Root-mako-occam-nexus4.img file from adb.

Can anyone advice how to get root without flashing custom recovery?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
I have to ask,....why would you NOT want a custom recovery? What is the point in using a crippled stick recovery?

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ketjr81:
Look at this How to thread in the general section, I copied and pasted relevant information. I kept a custom recovery and didn't try this method, but it says it will not flash a custom recovery.

E. Optional -- Root

If you want to get root access follow the steps below. (And no, this will not flash a custom recovery, and not, it will not make you "not stock".) Unlocked bootloader required. See steps above.

1) Download (to your computer) the latest version of CWM (from here) or TWRP (from here) for your device;

2) Rename the file to customrecovery.img, and make sure it is in the same directory as your fastboot.exe file;

3) Download (to /sdcard on your device) the latest version of either ChainsDD's Superuser (not currently working), or Chainfire's SuperSU;

4) Restart your device in fastboot mode and plug into computer;

5) Open a command prompt in the directory mentioned above and type: fastboot boot customrecovery.img

6) Wait for it to boot;

7) Navigate the menus the recovery menu on your device and select an option like "update zip from sdcard". Find the zip that you downloaded, and apply it.

8) Reboot. Done.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eskeyy:
You can flash custom recovery via fastboot, use it to install su.zip and when you will choose restart after that, you will have question about you want custom recovery permanently or not, if you choose no then after restart you will have stock recovery :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatum2002:
I want to make installing of future OTA as simple as possible. So I will get root and freeze all the system apps i don't want to be run, but when OTA comes I will be able to install it and will not receive any error messages which i had during this OTA.

It seems like this is a good solution:

Do i understand correctly that this boots customer recovery on my phone from PC hard drive, but doesn't flash it to the phone? So, I'm able to install root.zip from it, but when i reboot the phone I don't have a custom recovery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eskeyy:
You can do as i mentioned in my post before or you can use as well command mentioned by ketjr81: fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img in both cases you will have had stock recovery after restart

Yes, the info is true, the msm7x27 soc not have L2 cache. :( But the other info not true, the armv7 cpus not have 1MB cache.

To make clear situation: the armv6/v7 is NOT a cpu, just an instruction set. In our soc (system-on-chip) we have arm1136J-S cpu, what support armv6 instruction set. This cpu support the thumb extension (v1), it have vfp (v1) and support Jazelle/DBX (Dalvik Bytecode eXecution, basically this is the JIT) but not have built-in L2 cache. In the Snapdragon S1/S2 series the cpus have 256kb L2 cache, in the S3 series the L2 cache size is 512kb, in the S4 series the L2 is 1 or 2 MB. The built-in L2 is the manufacturers choice, they usually build it into the high-end cpus (today all high-end soc have armv7 cpu). But another manufacturers (different than qualcomm) maybe have armv6 soc with L2 cache. :)

Sounds like the tab is overwriting CWM recovery with stock recovery on reboot. Flash CWM again with ODIN but this time don't check auto reboot. Once ODIN finishes and says pass, disconnect from the PC and long press the power button to shut down the tab.

Once the tab is powered off, power back on holding vol up + power and it should take you to CWM.

Note: If you long press the power button too long when ODIN is finished, your tab will basically shut off and come right back on again but it should still work.
