[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compacity:
there should be no problem with imei, i dont use slimbean, dont know bout da 'special package but imei does intact if upgrading success, unless something wrong in changing ROM process.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mogwai123:
Well, I can see the IMEI via *#06# (but it is another number then on the back of my phone). However, I can make calls etc. The most annoying thing is that I get that error message that my IMEI is invalid each time I start slimbean...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compacity:
if u can maintain service signal then maybe its really ok, so why do u juz leave it like dat, or if u wanna do some experiments, flash back to firmware jvu n update again :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You can recover your imei by restoring your /efs. I dont have a link at hand right now, but youll find it by searching the forum.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mogwai123:
with the gapps on the slimroms website, the google play and all other apps are working fine! But I still get that problem message with IMEI number, although everything is working fine (able to call, sms etc.). I am a bit afraid of touching that efs folder (I have the previous backup on my pc), but I'll have to give it a try since I am really ennoyed by that error message each time I start my phone...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compacity:
Well......GOOD LUCK ON THAT ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mogwai123:
I didn't do it yet... as everything else is working fine, maybe it is too risky to touch it. well, if there is a very clear explanation how to do it, i could give it a try.... otherwise i just leave it...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mogwai123:
So, if anybody has an extreme good link where everything is explained clearly, you can always send me. otherwise i'll just leave it like that and have that error message each time. better leave it than risk it, no?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compacity:
actually its an easy step to learn mr mogwai :) juz try to google it or search it here. u juz need to understand what is partition, what is dbdata, what is cf root, what is odin, what is recovery n what is download mode n etc needed :)

back in 2010, i need to bear with an answer of 'no noob question please' if i ask anyone in any forum on how to root my sgs ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
You came from stock to SlimBean right?

It tends to do this, freshly installing Semaphore kernel tends for the phone to hang at the Semaphore screen. In fact its always done this to me installing roms with Semaphore coming from stock.

No biggie though. Pull battery, reboot into recovery, reflash rom :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mogwai123:
yes, i could just reflash it in recovery, indeed. everything is working fine except the fact that my efs folder is corrupted now, but I will solve it tonight.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cpkelley94:
Hey guys,

It looks like I'll be upgrading in early July to the Google Nexus 4 (really excited :D ). Now that I'll have another phone to use as a DD, I plan to look into doing a little dev work for the SGS4G soon.

I've never done anything like this before, so I will definitely need a lot of help if you are willing. But I should be able to do some dev work on-and-off at least until the end of August, and I would really like to learn more about how this phone works and how to develop/port/work on kernels/roms/etc.

Thank you all for all of the help you've provided me for this wonderful phone, and I hope that in the near future I'll be able to return a bit of the favor :) .

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kclantz:
So I had been having some issues with flickering and creeking on my screen and intended to call in for a warranty, but kept putting it off. Eventually a hairline crack formed on the screen and it basically has bricked my device, as the touch screen is not working.

Google wouldn't cover it under warranty because of the crack, and suggested I contact ASUS about getting it repaired.

As inexpensive as the tablet is, I am wondering if it is even worth it to pay ASUS to fix it. Anyone have any experience with this?

Has anyone actually tried replacing the screen with parts off eBay or something? Is that possible? Or is the glued down screen not an easy fix. Any advice would be helpful.

If all else fails, now I have an excuse to get the refreshed version when it comes out :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asus_USA:
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the screen replacement from Asus is around $150, which includes the labor. The LCD and digitizer comes and gets replaced as one whole piece. I've seen some non-OEM replacements for sale online, but I would only recommend you getting that if you are comfortable doing the repairs yourself. If you buy the digitizer by itself, prepare to spend some time prying the bad one apart from the LCD and vice versa.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kclantz:
At that price I might as well just buy a new one. Or hold off for the new version.

Normally I wouldn't be too comfortable fixing something like this myself, but since it is basically just a paper weight as it is I really don't have anything to lose. Best case scenario is it works and I learn a whole lot from doing it. Worst case scenario is I still have a non functioning tablet.

Besides, who can resist taking things apart?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] OguzhanVarsak:
Hi. I installed a stock rom today, but mistakenly I pulled the cord and my device is bricked :( please help me, what can I do :( I have a INTL SGP5.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
Bricked how, exactly? Does it turn on (hardbrick)? Does it bootloop (softbrick)?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Please include more information than just that you bricked it.

Does it boot?

Are there any signs of life in the device?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alljokingaside:
Id guess its soft bricked. If u can get.into recovery and.have a recovery, then restore. If the restore acts funny, it could be that u need to re-flash the appropriate kernel.

If u can't get into recovery, flash a.ROM via Odin/heimdall
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] OguzhanVarsak:
Not opening, not open recovery menu and download mod :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:

This blue screen problem is very common

Hi

It seems that this blue screen problem is very common in this forum.

Did someone manage to solve this problem, or is familiar with a working solution?

Just in order to be organized and help others, here is a reference to some of the users and their posts regarding this problem:

MrCabana in [Q] Samsung Galaxy S i9000B blue screen problem

kssthomas in [Q] Samsung Galaxy S blue screen error, which also posted a video in YouTube - Samsung Galaxy S i9000 - Blue Screen problem

IntelVN in [Q] [PROBLEM] Blue Screen On GT-I9000

The only thing that I got from all of these threads is that it's probably because of CWM 6.x and above, and that in CWM 5.x everything is okay. (Thanks a lot to MrCabana for this conclusions)

So, did someone manage to solve this problem, or is familiar with a working solution?

Hey everyone, I have a question about my sim card.. Ok so I got my phone about 3 1/2 weeks ago and I put my old sim card (the sim card is about 4 years old) in and it worked, however, I'm just wondering will using the old sim card affect my 4g and lte speeds and reception?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] IAmSixNine:
technically it shouldnt. What matters are account settings and the correct APN settings.

Most of the time what will affect speeds are bad APN and of course network congestion / location.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and would like to thank everyone who has been working on the WM2003SE upgrade. I'd also like to share my experience of using the new ROM.

I used the 2.02 OS and Radio upgrade only. The upgrade process was very simple. I didn't have to change the country code or anything, thankfully. Screen rotation works a treat apart from a few minor niggles with the camera (but I can always rotate the screen back to regular orientation to get round this).

I completely recommend the 2.02 ROM, and agree that this is a very stable and fast release!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] eFiend:
I used 2.06 and the only problem that I have was when I restar the PPC, first time it blocks and i have to restar it 2 times to work.

thanks to [MENTION=4962306]GamingDj[/MENTION] for this video he made for [MENTION=4968043]Biftor[/MENTION] , so you can see the power of the DEV :)

[YOUTUBE]yJzpkDWQazY[/YOUTUBE]

Hi everybody,

Here is the story :

Some 7 days ago, i received a PM from Wiz1152 who told me that he tested one my updater-script provided for 2nd ROM and had success with it.

He gave a test with an updater-script i touch for use BIFTOR V9 ROM as 2nd ROM.

As he also has sent his PM to Biftor , he finaly asked us if we can share a thread to show ppl how to have Biftor V9 in 2nd ROM.

So i prepared this post to tell all ppl interested by a JB sammy 4.1.2 as 2nd rom that they could find here soon all tips, tricks and tweaks i have learnt on XDA to have Biftor V9 rom and also all jb sammy 4.1.2 rom, as a 2nd rom, with the only kernel i know to do this, DorimanX kernel, V8.xx version only.

Ambitious you can say, but i hope this would help many users to make any JB 4.1.2 ROM they want as their BEST 2nd ROM.

Before you thank me, thanks all these people, i've learnt by reading their threads and posts.

(i must say that sometimes, for a better undertanding of what i was doing for my 2nd ROM,

i had to PM some of them, and i always received a large and efficient detailled response

from each of them, i encourage you to always ask to DEV what are your troubles)

Disclaimer : before starting any operation, you have to know that you can damage your phone, use at your own risk !

before you mix my things , you have to know that you can damage and brick your tel

For the kernel you will GO here for your dualboot :

thanks DorimanX

For the ROMs i extract and mod updater-script here,

Biftor

Salesale

Indie

Wanam

I'm going to use mods from the following dev as demos, and one day,

you'll try some themes and mods from them, so thank them like me :

Spannaa

ApriliaM3

Carotix

engloa

and much others posts from XDA thread....

Like me, you should learn a lot with the NeatRom Family Members from this INCREDIBLE NEATROM FULL & LITE ROM THREAD

In this thread, i will never provide a link with an updater-script that will flash a kernel or a modem.

My modded updater-script doesn't work well if you flash a modded for 2nd ROM JB sammy 4.1.2 ROM on 1rst position ROM too.

The only one kernel i talk to you about in this thread is DORIMANX KERNEL all V8.xx releases. It's saying in XDA

that there is no BEST KERNEL for I9100 (and other tel), as we know too, there is no BEST ROM , but DorimanX V8.xx

all releases are the only one i can use to have my dualboot safe, so for me, it is the BEST KERNEL i use :)

expect all image are not too big for viewing, so works in progress, available very soon.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Troubadour666:
Updater-script Analyse

Here we can find the most important part of this thread !

For a flash in 2nd position, we have to understand how updater-script runs its lines when we flash a JB 4.1.2 ROM as a unique 1rst ROM.

1rst, in many XDA threads and on other forums, you must know that you will find many ROMs, with full wipe or not. Dont care about it now, my purpose is to use 2nd rom as tests roms so it's not necessary to keep some line in modded updater-script, like formating partition or wiping, we can manage this ourselves , no? And because of winscp access , we can do what we want too.

lines like :

- formating system or data partition, we can manage them.

- flashing kernel, kernel has been already flashed before, dorimanx v8.xx lastest.

- flashing modem, modem of 1rst rom already exist and is i think it's fine

2nd, and see below, this is a list of tasks executed by an original updater-script : (on 1rst rom usage)

- presentation rom and dev

- unmount some partitions

- formatting \system\ and \preload\ partitions sometimes, without mounting them

- wiping data lines

- re-mounting system and preload partitions

- extracting zip \data folder if exist in zip rom, on data partition mounted before

- extracting zip \system folder to system partiton mounted before

- extracting zip \preload folder to preload partition mounted before

- installing busybox lines

- symlinking system binaries

- symlinking apks from preload partition to system partition

- the fix of the effective rights on new system partition flashed

- the EFS backuping

- flashing kernel lines

- flashing modem lines

- unmounting partitions lines

- "say thanks dev" lines

it's saying that BIFTOR ROM is a rom that ppl want to have as their 2nd ROM,

so i take its updater-script for my purpose of demonstration :

Here, images with detailled blocks lines of BIFTOR V9 updater-script :

about uploading an entire rom for 2nd position

Hi Wiz :)

i think i will do this when i finish next last part of thread, "vrthemes and moding a 2nd rom".

Is it so hard to download an "updater-script + some addons" PACK i made for a rom to be run in 2nd position, and drag them in ZIP ROM opened with, at the same place there are in my RAR PACK extracted by ppl?

the only thing we have to do to run a ROM in second position is to modify its updater-script and preload_symlink script.

RAR are 10ko large, ROM is 700Mo .

but if ppl are so embarassed with reading my english and understand my work, i upload rom on sunday i think.

thanks

ppl find BIFTOR_V9_FOR_2ndROM.ZIP here now :) NOT GOOD, DELETED

if you still dont boot your BEST ROM in 2nd ROM and rest on a black screen, please go download this tool from post #7 "universal symlink_data_sec_data_for_2nd_rom_only.pdf" , rename it with .ZIP at the end instead of .PDF, put in your SDCARD EXT, REBOOT recovery, flash it in your 2nd rom by dual-boot menu.
