Okay , I have and lg lucid under Verizon and a Motorola matrix HD under att. Both are 4g phones with micro sim cards and the matrix is unlocked. Should it be possible to switch the sim card to the matrix and be able to use it right away
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
No as the micro sim on Verizon is for data only and they run on CDMA for talk and the ATT device is a GSM device. The voice signals are not cross compatable.
[General Questions and Answers] xMrArnoldx:
Now that's just dissapointing. And no way to get around this?

Yeah take the phone apart and replace most of the hardware related to the attenna. Other then that no way around it.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorddunlow:
I'm interested in trying some of the in-development projects (cwm, Rome, etc.) but I don't want to brick my device. Are there fastboot files yet?
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonofskywalker3:
well, not fastboot files like you're thinking of. We have a CWM recovery.img that can be booted from fastboot mode, but more likely if you flash something wrong, you'll just plug in a usb keyboard and press alt+sys req+i a bunch of times and get to whatever recovery you have flashed. I "soft-bricked" mine about nine times flashing my own amateur builds of CM10 (because I'm stupid and decided the Ouya would be a good platform for my first effort at building from source...) but once I use the key combination to boot into recovery I just reflash the stock Ouya OTA from Rayman's thread, or restore my Nandroid backup and I'm up and running.

Honestly I have been doing all kinds of stupid stuff to this thing, and I've always been able to get back. Just don't do anything REALLY stupid like pulling the power while you're in the middle of flashing the recovery and you should be fine.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ballarddm:
Ok, so I took the OTA to VRBLMD3 and want to root. I've searched the forums but have come up mostly empty handed.

My questions are:

1. Can I use the already available, older bootchain to unlock the bootloader?

2. Will existing, available roms be negatively affected by changes in this firmware?

3. What is your recommended root method?

Essentially, I'd like to root the device but without methods specific to the new OTA I'm hesitant to do so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ballarddm:
So... I found a few threads which kind of talked about my question, but not specifically enough for me to start flashing.

I'm back to being unclear about the best method to use to obtain "new" root after taking this OTA. The part that confuses me is the ODIN flashing of a seemingly outdated bootchain. Of course, I could be way off-base about this as I'm coming from the MOTO world. We just worked around locked bootloaders.

Any help and\or clarification would be greatly appreciated!

It works for VRBMD3, go ahead and end those doubts bud. I along with many others confirmed this already. Although this is a different thread, check post #67 for confirmation from me on OTA day.

Appreciate your response slim. So what you're saying is that the VRBMD3 is the same as the VRBLMD3... emphasis on the L. I think this is what myself and OP have been trying to figure out. I have done many searches and have seen many times that VRBMD3 works. We are worried about the L...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f2k8:
Hello everyone, thanks for taking your time and reading this.

I've owned a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 for about two years now. This phone is not my primary phone, as I just use it as a secondary phone for different apps/backup, most of the times the phone is turned off.

But a few days ago, I turned the phone on, and once the homescreen had loaded, around 20-30 seconds later, the phone will freeze, and there's nothing else you can do other than take the battery out to turn it off.

A few details about the phone: the phone has never been flashed, and the OS has never been touched. It's basically at stock, but the only thing I remember is updating the official firmware through the Samsung link in the settings. The phone has never been modded, and that's what bugs me the most. (I've never had experience with 'modding' phones with custom ROMS and such)

So, after sitting at home all day looking for a fix, I couldn't find anyone else in my situation. There are a few similar situations, but I am yet to find something that replicates my problem exactly.

I've also tried rebooting the phone in many different ways, for example, taking out the memory card, then taking out the sim card, then taking them both out completely.

That's when I found a link which gave me information on how to factory reset the device. Since nothing else was working, I decided to go for it.

I held the VOLUME UP button + the HOME button, and hit the power button and got the menu up.

The menu works fine, I was flicking through the options for 10 whole minutes just to check if it freezes or not, and it works perfectly fine.

So then I factory reset the phone, wiped the system cache, and I also formatted the internal SD card.

Still, the problem persists. This time, the phone will reboot for a little while longer, since I expect the system files are getting set up, then it asks for the language, and before I can hit English, it freezes, and the screen stays like that until the battery is dead. All the hardware buttons don't do anything, it's basically fully dead with the screen still on the OS menu.

I was wondering if anyone knows what I should do?

I can provide more information if needed, and I can even upload a video to YouTube if you want a better aspect of the problem.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Major UPDATE:

Okay, so after sticking at it the whole day and trying to get a better understanding of this situation, I've managed to work around the problem slightly. It's not fixed yet, though.

So after the screen had frozen for the (insert number here)th time, the battery was starting to go empty, so I stuck it on charge, but I forgot that I had left the frozen screen on (currently frozen on the 'Language Select' set up menu).

After about 20 minutes, the phone vibrated and a little message popped up, and it said that 'the process Soundhound.com.xxx.xxx was force closed', or something along the lines. I can't remember fully because it popped up for only around 4 seconds and disappeared.

As soon as I saw that, I quickly went to the application settings and deleted all of the soundhound cache/data and then removed the app completely. After that I thought it was fixed for sure, so I was messing around with the phone and using different apps to see if it freezes again, and it didn't.

But I had to restart the phone to see if the freeze issues happened again, and yep, it was there again, this time the same as the first issue, where it used to freeze up in the home screen. AND, I let it sit on the frozen screen for 15 minutes and it was that SAME soundhound app that got force closed, so once it got out of the frozen state, I quickly went to the application settings and the app was still there, it was like I didn't even delete it?

This leads to my new problem, the so called 'hard factory wipe/reset' doesn't actually reset EVERYTHING. As seen in my other post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2305825

Now I'm completely confused as to what I should do.

I've pretty much tried everything, and i'm sure a FULL hard reset where EVERYTHING gets wiped out might just fix it? The thing is though, I don't know how? I've been trying to fix this phone for about 7 hours straight now. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwOkie:
My opinion Flash a Stock Rom or what ever you wish and then Root it...

If selling it just dont bother with Rooting it.

As you say you have been at it for Several hours and flashing takes less than an hour even for a newbie if following the procedure correctly

As going by what you say it seems that files are messed up on the phone and better to start fresh ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f2k8:
ywasaf acquitted

Is there a legit way to flash it, maybe through Samsungs website? I don't want to mess around with custom files, as I would like to keep everything clean.

Oh, and also, I just went through the media files and found some of my old pictures too. So for some reason, the 'format internal SD' option in the recovery menu isn't working.

If I flash it, will I have to flash it to Froyo 2.2.1 which it is currently in right now?

Here's information I found on the 'About phone' menu:

Kernel version:

2.6.32.9

root@SEP-51 # 1

Build number:

FROYO.XXJPY

Baseband version:

i9000XXJPY

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwOkie:
Legit way :D your on XDA!

Flash a Stock 2.3.6 (Clean) which is the same as Samsung Site its in my How to Guide if you wish to follow it

Its the exact same Rom just not on there Site :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f2k8:
Thanks.

Briefly read your guide, and it's all mind boggling to a newbie like me :silly: lol

I might just have to flash it, because this problem is getting a little bit annoying now.

Which parts of your guide should I follow exactly? And shouldn't I be sticking Froyo 2.2.1 back in? Won't a newer firmware (such as the 2.3.6) make the phone slower/drain more battery than usual?

Oh and one last thing, what's the difference between rooting and flashing a phone? Cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwOkie:
Rooting briefly means :

Giving yourself root access to system files and the ability to change things that normally are marked read only

This allows you to change all kinds of things that normally you wouldn't be able to

Flashing : Erm.. Flashing a new Rom on your Phone or the process of over-writing your internal memory :D

2.3.6 will be ok for you if you wish to stay just Stock on your phone.

Plus the fact if you wish to move to another Rom later on its just a matter of Rooting the Phone and installing the Custom Rom

Just follow guide from the : HOW TO GUIDE : TUTORIAL TO FLASH 2.3.6 JVU + ROOT BEFORE INSTALLING CUSTOM ROM

and you will be ok.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f2k8:
So the 2.3.6 Firmware you provide, is that known a 'custom firmware'?

I've been searching for YouTube videos with people explaining how to flash, but all the videos sound like they're speaking about some rocket science sh** lol

Now I'm super confused, some guy on YouTube is flashing to 2.3.6 JVT while you're doing JVU, I don't even know what that means haha

I just don't want to brick the phone and make it completely dead, that's why I'm just making sure I understand the basics before I go ahead with it, sorry if I'm starting to sound annoying lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwOkie:
You wont brick it if you follow it correctly...

2.3.6 JVU is the basis for all custom roms been flashed unless stated otherwise by Rom Developers.

As its basically a stock 2.3.6 then when you want to flash another Rom its just a matter of Rooting the 2.3.6 :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f2k8:
Ah, okay.

Well, I'm in the process of downloading your files, THANKS for ALL the help you've given so far, sir!

I'll flash once all the files are downloaded. By the way, does 2.3.6 have Google Play store, and not the old Andropid Market?

I hope I can get this done before I head off to sleep in a few hours, been a very long day haha

I'll let you know of the results, cheers and have a good day sir. :)

I was just wondering, did you say I should root or not? As rooting it seems like a bit of a hassle? Plus, it says that I should install a custom rom zip file if I decide to root it, but I don't have one? I am using your 2.3.6 which was in your Odin Files download link, right?

So if I root, what do I do exactly?

I actually feel like crying right now haha, I think the phone may be completely dead? Something is seriously corrupt with it I'm guessing?

so thats why, i thought my app got error.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f2k8:
Okay, so after letting it freeze for 15 minutes, the apps started to force close one by one, every single one of them.

By the way, I did the PIT thing even though you said it was optional, because I wanted it to be quick just in case I got the red text error.

So yeah, everything is force closing one by one, I can't go anywhere after set up is complete?

I've done all the steps, factory wipe/cache wipe, and the battery stats/dalcik I think it was called.

I can upload a video, just letting my other phone charge real quick, didn't realize it had drained all this time.

EDIT: Seems like alot of the guys on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1295340&page=4

..are having the same problem as me.

I think it might be un-fixable, the phone is corrupt in some way as the guy that had the problem in the other thread only fixed it by handing it in to Samsung them selves for a repair. I most likely can't do this since I don't have a Samsung store near by, plus I'm pretty sure I've lost the receipt to the phone (due to the phone being so old) and the warranty is definitely gone, damn.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwOkie:
If you read it completely you would have seen that you dont need to wipe the things you mentioned thats only when flashing a custom rom after rooting

So you ticked the re-partition and installed pit

Then added the following 4 files and installed 2.3.6

Rooted phone after following the info correct?

If you followed it by the letter then you shouldnt have force closes :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f2k8:
Yes, that's exactly what I did.

However, I didn't/couldn't do this part:

As the phone kept on showing the force close messages?

well thats valid, either internal corrupt or wrong ways of flashing, guess second choice is not.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwOkie:
Yes, that's exactly what I did.

However, I didn't/couldn't do this part:

Why would you want to do that part if you dont want to to flash a custom rom ??

You said you wanted only 2.3.6 correct? no need for that part
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f2k8:
Could be 'wrong ways of flashing', I'm incredibly new to this haha, but I think it's more likely that something is corrupt.

I'll still give it a shot, if I get no results, I'll have to leave it I guess.
