i m using jvu as my fone came from europe, but jvu can be use quite universally as i already flash it to jvt, jvb,n ddjvb build number i9000 without any problem

as far as i know, jw* was da latest, so juz pick any latest version, jvu/jvt or jw4 depending on ur region

but be sure to confirm ur fone is defenitely i9000 as different version will lead to bricking ur device

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2149455

here instruction on flashing jvu, juz read carefully n u will be fine, all link already been given, n u can root it as well.

oyeah, build number determine da version
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fanil123:
Ok, Thanks.

I will follow the instructions in the link you have provided.

I have bought my phone from India and the model no. is GT-I9000, so JVU should be fine, I guess.

Can you tell the difference between root and flash?

Also when I do root/flash, should I remove SIM card and external memory card?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compacity:
nope juz keep it intact inside, i makes thing easier when first boot after flashing

flashing - changing ROM version

rooting - getting access to system

but remember this

FLASH AT UR OWN RISK
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fanil123:
1. What should be done first Root or Flash? The link provides steps for Flashing only. How to root?

2. If I root/flash with SIM and external card inside mobile, will I loose any data from them?

3. After root/flash, can I still use Kies. I usually use Kies for syncing contacts to my laptop.

Don't worry, Flashing is my risk.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compacity:
flash first

no kies

root juz change cf root, thats all
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fanil123:
Thanks for your help. Will flash mobile during the weekend. Will inform you outcome.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compacity:
sorry for da damn lazy answer before,

u need to flash first with odin, use da 3 file needed + pit n reboot, after reboot, if u wanna root, flash cf root given

data will lose as if new fone, all contact will lost, so backup ur contact(vcf) n sms(sms backup app).

root is not needed, if u wanna use stock ROM, flash firmware, juz flash cf if u wanna root ur fone.

kies can be use, but make a backup before anything. ok.

n sorry again for my lazy post before.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fanil123:
Yes, I will try to flash to JVU by following the link provided. I hope this will solve all the issues.

Thanks again for your help. I will inform you about the progress.

I was reviewing the steps for flashing/rooting in the below link and I have some query:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2149455

After the steps for flashing the steps are provided for rooting:

Go into Download mode so that we can now root the Phone

Then plug in Phone

Click Reset on ODIN then in PDA put in CF-Root Kernel File for JVU to be Rooted

CF-Root is in ODIN FILES or DOWNLOAD HERE

Then Click START.. should take just a few seconds ....

Same again when you see S Logo on Phone unplug Cable

Close ODIN

Now, what I do now is go into :

Settings > SD Card and Storage > Unmount SD and Wipe that and then at the bottom Wipe Format USB Storage

Enable USB Debugging > Plug in Phone

Window should open up showing your phone Directory..

Copy over your ROM that you want

Shut Down Phone

Reboot into Recovery (Vol UP - Menu - Power)

Wipe the 4 things (probably know these... you should do)

Data / Factory Reset

Cache Partition

Go to Advanced > OK

Dalvik Cache

Battery Stats

Go Back > OK

To move Up or Down > Use the Left Side Volume Rocker Switches with Menu to OK Action

Install your Custom ROM from Zip Card that you want...

Reboot Phone when complete... DONE!

At the end it says, install your Custom ROM from Zip Card. I do not understand what is Custom ROM and which Zip Card.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compacity:
about da custom ROM, IF u wanna to upgrade from 2.3 to 4.0 or 4.1 or 4.2 only, u dont need to do it, juz finish at unplug when u see s logo, thats all, n setting up ur fone

if u wanna to root ur fone, flash cf root given by link by putting CFROOT OXAxx xxxx x in odin in PDA section with untick repartition, n flash kernel, thats all n ur fone will be rooted.

custom ROM can be choose in i9000 development section n there will be zip file ur talking about, but if u already ok with 2.3.6, dont upgrade. n dont ask stupid question there (its DEV section for god sake)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fanil123:
Yes, in some of the articles they say not to tick re-partition and some say to tick the re-partition.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fanil123:
I backed-up my contacts, sms, pics, video, whatsapp.

Then I did factory reset. The internet problem did not get resolved.

So I flashed the phone with JVU firmware. IAll has gone well.

I am going to use JVU all day tomorrow and see whether the internet problem is solved. I hope it will be solved.

If not then I will root phone.

If I root phone will it wipe all data such as contacts, sms, whatsapp?

Also what is advantage of rooting the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakymod2120:
rooting your device mean that you are superuser of your device... you can do everything browsing editing files in every folder, delete apps, OC of CPU etc...

no rooting your phone will not delete anything it is just bringing some binaries like "su" and remounting your device (mountpoints like system and so on) with rw not only read...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fanil123:
After flashing to JVU, the phone is working great. Internet problem is resolved and phone response is also faster.

But I don't think there is need to root the phone.

[LG Optimus 3D] SL_NUWAN:
I am modifying a rom with dsixda's kitchen . I did the necessary changes to rom and did the system.img in Ubuntu using mkfs.yaffs2. After that I create a zip with system.img, data folder and META-INF folder.

when flash the rom using TWRP it flash everything excluding system.img.

I cant find where i did errrs?

the way i create system.img or updater-script may be wrong.

these are the codes i ued in updater-script.

mount("ext4", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7", "/system");

delete_recursive("/system");

package_extract_file("system.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7");

please help me to understand the error ?
[LG Optimus 3D] $Parker:
Do you have error in recovery ??

Maybe you did something wrong in creating the system.img .

You can simply modify your ROM inside your phone ,, then boot into recovery . Then go to "Advanced" ,, "Terminal Emulator" then type :-

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/system.img

IF the mmcblk0p7 is the system partition , I don't have this phone .

You can check that from /system/etc/fstab.cosmo (not sure about file name) .

Good Luck .

It has been s-off-ed, which is not the same thing with rooting, but it makes rooting much easier.

You need to install a custom recovery. Follow the instructions in this thread:

Then you need to either install a custom rom, or flash the super su flashable zip to root your current rom.

Hi all,

Has anyone managed to disassemble the ROM image files and possibly "see" actual source code? It would be interesting if someone could do this.

Cheers,

Zouga
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AdmiralAK:
patridaaaaa!

Geia sou!

Source code is not compiled. what you find in ROM is compiled, thus you cannot see the source code. YOu could disasseble a ROM image to see what files it has, but I do not know how that happens
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
What source code do you need? Microsoft provides partial source code of Windows CE in Platform Builder. Trial PB 4.20 was removed from MS site, you can only download PB 5.0.

Thank you guys for your replies. I have some parts of the radio ROM in which I am trying to identify interesting segments, like for example SIM lock ;) I think I know what I am doing, I have managed to download from the PDA parts of the Radio ROM (which I suspect remains intact when flashing to a newer Radio version). Also, I have some commands which are being used with the XDA IIs bootloader, can anyone help me about their use?

r task a

rpass

x

rrbmc (that's probably to read from specific memory addresses)

rerase (to delete from specific memory addresses)

retuoR

rwdata (to write in specific memory addresses)

Also, does anyone have any information on the XDA II unlocking utility? I mean which memory addresses accesses, where it writes etc...

Thanks,

Zouga
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] unlockMe:
hahahaha "I think I know what I'm doing" :lol:

then why do you need to know how and where to write information, dude?

"Also, does anyone have any information on the XDA II unlocking utility? I mean which memory addresses accesses, where it writes etc... "

Unfortunately for you, I don't believe Windows CE is written using QBASIC.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zouganelis:
Yeh exactly, "I THINK" I know what I am doing, never said I know exactly what I'm doing. I am not a cracker or a software engineer, I am an electronic engineer and I try to use my understanding about embedded electronics to get through to some useful information. I know in which segments of the Radio rom the simlock lies, I just cannot crack the data. I can only see HEX format like

3A 46 3D 00 78 0D 20 08 3A 41 3D 00 00 00 00 00 :F=.x. .:A=.....

Anyone that can give a hand with this, I would appreciate your input.

You can decompile the radio ROM using IDA. It uses a variation of ARM cpu.

Yea..the rippling effect is the most common issue seen with LCD screens all over the world.. It doesn't cause any problems at all unless you press the screen real hard or twist the phone,either case in which there are chances the screen could crack..

Well..even the glass on xperia z is hard enough but as Sony claims to have eliminated a layer between the screen and the glass,the LCD screen that is below the glass is more susceptible to feel the pressure that's applied on the outer glass directly..as u may have noticed,the ripples occur only at the edges and corners where most stress falls on the LCD screen due to the force created by the glass..and it isn't a flaw or defect..its just in the nature of LCD displays to create such ripples..btw s4 doesn't have LCD display,it's super amoled therefore no ripples...hope I helped u..just ask if u want to know anything else..cheers..:D

You determine what modem you have by checking your baseband. You can have an older boot loader and an up to date modem.

wrapping my head around GE

Sorry for the noobness;

I have an i9505; ever since it was announced, I was looking forward to flashing my i9505 into a GE.

Some initial roms have appeared. I just wanted to better understand some of the terms thrown around to make an informed decision;

The ROM seems to be pretty similar between all those who have thrown their hat into the ring: jamal2367, janjan, samuel2607, Hazanwar, m3dd0g, and maybe a few others. Is there any major difference between these ROMs? Q: Should all these ROMs be identical? They all have the same origin, and all are trying to go for the pure/vanilla GE experience

I think each of the ROM modders are using different kernels, or kernels slightly modified. Again; what is the official kernel for GE? is the "stock kernel" for GE the same "stock kernel" for all S4 i9505? My device is Model number SGH-I337M; Kernel v3.4.0-518267; is this the GE kernel? I know kernels can be tweaked to overclock or undervolt a phone, getting performance or better battery, respectively. I'm trying to turn my i9505 into a GE clone. Which kernel should I be looking for?

Some people have mentioned CSC. This is where I'm completely lost. From what I understand, CSC is the way phone manufacturers classify and differentiate phones model for specific countries and specific carriers. Is this correct?

Either way; how does CSC help or hurt my goal of emulating fully a GE phone? Would I need to change the currrent CSC in my phone to a second CSC? What would that accomplish?

also; someone has mentioned recovery. Should I interpret that as the bootloader? are these things related, or the actual same thing referred differently? how does the bootloader (and/or) recovery help me clone a i9595GE?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piero88:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LastStandingDroid:
there are actually pretty stable (at least the 4.2 one) however why they work on it its mostly due to its easier when you get all the libraries for the device to something they've waited for. pure AOSP can be good if you wouldn't miss the features s4 gives.

i suggest you shouldstop doing so, bumping a thread is not allowed and specially not after one hour and some minutes
