[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dentimarius:
Saw it too, and try it to....Nothing...the same white screen turning on and off...

But there is a thing to say:

When usb cable is connected the display goes off and remain off. It not appear white with blue letters... If I unplug the usb cable then the display goes in white and replay on and off.....

I tried a lot of combinations with the cable plug in maybe the pc will see a device conected, but nothing.

I think the phone don't see the vol up and down when pressed.

But I wonder: in a authorized samsung service, is it possible to flash a firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dentimarius:
Or, I have another ideea.

Does anyone have the boot file extracted from the phone? I have a friend who said he can try to reflash using the jtag method. But he needs this boot file extracted from the similar phone.

Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] celtichazard:
I try all combination and no luck WFK

this is killing me
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
i'd like to help but what do you mean with "boot file", zImage?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] m3keni:
nice read for galaxy captivate

might help resolve your white screen issue.. remove simcard please.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734871
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] celtichazard:
yes i think is zimage or bzimage

jodue you can xtract from your phone this files?

and how to find the jtag for our device
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
if you need just the zImage you can extract it yourself from a firmware image (in the pda archive) i recommend JM2 from http://samsung-firmware.webs.com/samsungi9000.htm, or just take the kernel from mimocan as it will work just as well (also without the fix and an sdcard etc.)

i have no idea what "jtag" is...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] celtichazard:
Ok now i have the fiiles the boot.bin and the zimage whats next?

any ideas
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dentimarius:
i don't know this things very good, but jtag is a method to flash/reflash using a interface that is connected directly to motherboard or processor...it usses about 9 pins...

The process is very similar to what the manufacture does when fabricating the processor or the device.

If i am wrong please correct me with the right informations...

So, in our case, I think if we have this first boot file we could try to reflash this part of software, and recover out phones.

But, to do this, we need the boot file extracted from a similar phone using jtag method.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] celtichazard:
Allready have the boot file but in our case i think i not jtag available to our devices today any ideas
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] celtichazard:
any ideas what to say in the samsung service center about th with screen with AT&T logo, i think they can say me FKU asole buy another

or we need waith for a solution?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dentimarius:
Yes, it is possible, but at least they will repair your phone. Of course, you will have to pay but, the god news is you don'thave tu buy a new phone.

I think this ROM, made for Captivate, generate a coflict with the booting file on i9000, and that's why we can't enter in downloading mode.

or maybe, the battery need's to be on the minimal procent to proceed in download mode. Like HTC...if the battery is under the 50% than you get a error message telling you to charge the battery first and than retry to flash ROM.

Or maybe...maybe...maybe....nobody knows that for sure....what is the real reason for not entering in download mode...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] putkte:
Hello. I did get that white scren also by flashing asian version on European sgs. But i managed to get in download mode.

Ok, i looked right on your video. You really need to paid attention to volup-key.

Push volup-key with your right index-finger then left thum on menu-button then rigth thum on power.

This way i manged to get on download mode everytime.

Mine problem was tha i didnt really press volup-key and phone started to boot.

I really hope you managed to get it fixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] celtichazard:
no man no luck y puch to hard and nothing
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ancient_One:
Download Mode is Vol Down, Power and Home screen combo.

Make sure everything is out fo teh phoen no SIMS no SDcard.

Then keep trying the combo. It does not always work first time. just keep pressing it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] celtichazard:
No i do you Combo, arround 4 minutes i press the buttons but nothings happen only a turn on and off screen like in otrer ways to acces to download mode.

any other ideas

Your phone Charge?

mine dont appear nothing in the screen when plug to the charger i dont know is this chargin or not.

i try to charge to test with full battery to intro in download mode
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Guzmanus:
Bump, i have the same problem...

The battery charges as when the USB is connected, the phone gets warm, but when my USB is connected the screen doesnt' show anything T.T
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dentimarius:
So, after and after searching on internet about this problem, the explications was founded in this forum, a interesting article....There is a short part that can explain our problem:

"SPL/Bootloader/Radio/Bricking Phones:

SPL / Bootloader is like BIOS on a computer. At least I think of it that way. SPL can be updated! SPL comes as either Security-On of Security-Off (S-ON/S-OFF).

Note: It is my understanding that radio will boot first, followed by other systems. So it is IMPORTANT that your radio image/version will work with your SPL image/version. This is the one and only reason for phones being bricked. You can not brick your phone by flashing a ROM or Boot image or recovery image. Once you flash the wrong radio for the SPL, the only known method of recovery is to send the phone back into HTC for repair.

"

It is about HTC-phones, but when this article was written single phone bassed on Android was the HTC-Google. This informations can be applied, I think, to all Android bassed phones, because it's about the opperating system...

So, I think the only solution for this problem is sending the phone to service, where they can re-flash the radio and entire ROM.

This article can be found in here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=619153.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Guzmanus:
I've managed to get a load circle that lasts just for 2 seconds by plugging and unplugging the usb, but it doesnt do anymore
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] IceFork:
Nothing new about this problem? :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dentimarius:
My phone just get back from service. Guess what...

They said it's my fault and they reffused the waranty. Ok, but I will pay the reparation, I said...

They tried and tried to reflash the phone, but nothing. They said the phone is totaly bricked, and there is no chance to repair it in my country. If I want, they can send it to other Samsung service, but it's possible they can not repair it too....

So my phone return to me in same condition.

The only chance to use a i9000 is to buy the new one. But the good part is I will have 2 batteries, 2 chargers(one at office, one at home), 2 usb cables, and some rezerve parts like the screen(in case I will break mine), a front and back cover, etc....

Sorry for the bad news....If some one gets the phone repaired from service please tell me. Thank you very much.

Hi dudes here in the forum already one member of captivate it's try to dev. A jtag this is the only way to repair our mobiles here is the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756988

I already call to samsung in uk, samsung Spain , samsung Mexico (here I lives) and no way to repair this phone in this conditions.

I think the only way is go to Korea and try to make a friend ho has working in samsung Manufacturer and then ask if he can intro in the manufacturing process to reflash (what a fk thing I say I'm drunk :() )

Any way the only thing we need to do is wait for a jtag already have in contact witn the people of gsmserver.com for finding a solution

And the other thing is wait until 2011 to buy a brand new samsung with dual core 1,5 ghz. 1gb ram and full HD recording with the 4,5 inch super duper mega amoled

My old i8910 still cover my needs

All Noobs

Please be extremely careful with deleting or changing files when your phone is rooted. Essentially you have full write access to all system files and could seriously mess up your phone.

Until there are safer ways of upgrading ROM's via recovery I would not take the risk of trying what some of us already attempted.

So for now just hang tight until the cooks or advanced users find a safe and reproducible way of upgrading the ROM’s specific for your carrier.

If anyone likes to add more, please go ahead, it just worries me of the amount of folks that already got themselves into trouble being adventurous.

Should you not be able to hold back, at least have a look at the following FAQ for the general Galaxy S forum. It's a great starting point : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723596
[Captivate General] designgears:
this needs to be in general...

we have a factory restore that can take you from a totally software bricked state back to stock in about 1min.

There is basically no risk, as long as you don't mind flashing your device back to stock as you play around.

Make a paperclip stand!

I made one of these and it works great for my Vibrant. I have it on my desk at the office and plug the usb into my computer. I've been watching videos during lunch using this thing with no problems.

Can't beat that for $0.01. I did have to make three before I got it just right, so maybe the cost is more like $0.03.

In all the threads I've been reading about the issues with the GPS, I keep seeing a few people chiming in that they have no problem, and other saying that the GPS is so bad it is unusable. Since I'm still up in the air about what phone to get (b/w the Aria and Captivate), I'm wondering how many people have 'working' GPS units vs. not.

In addition to voting in the poll, add a post if you can saying where you are and what kind of environment you're in (urban/rural, indoor/outdoor etc.).

EDIT: Make sure to vote if you post! I see a few posts already claiming good reception, yet the poll still shows 100% unusable.

Mine sucks. If I do get a lock, it takes about 2-5 mins to get one.. I have tried the tweaks posted but did not work for me
[Captivate General] nbs11:
I live in the suburbs, (not exactly urban) and it does not work at all. However, upon doing diagnostics in the hidden GPS settings I found more then 7 satellites are in view leading me to believe this is a software problem. Since it will get fixed later this year (and the Samsung Captivate is a far better spec-ed phone) I'd go with the Captivate
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
I don't think I have any issues. when I'm out in the open the app typically takes less than a minute to acquire my location and I'm off. Even inside my house if I am next to a window I can usually get a signal, which is something I didn't think was possible with GPS. I live in the bottom floor of a two story apartment building and my old phone could just forget about trying to acquire a signal inside any building, and I thought that GPS was pretty solid. I also have not performed any GPS tweaks.

[Captivate General] gtg465x:
Screenshots or pictures please. I no longer trust anyone. I've seen too many videos of people claiming they have x number of locks when in fact they are confusing the number in view and the number actually locked to. You're probably telling us the number of sats in view, not the number of locks you have.
[Captivate General] davidusr:
I had 5 within 10 seconds, 7 at 30secs and 9 after ~90secs. I'm assuming they are locked, correct me if i'm wrong.
[Captivate General] gtg465x:
You have 9 satellites in view but are only locked to 3 (denoted by *). That is the whole problem with the Galaxy S phones. They have no problem seeing satellites, but they never lock to very many.
[Captivate General] saint168:
Compare to the Aria I had for 28 days, the GPS sucks on the Captivate. It usually take 1-5 min to get a lock while it never took more than 1 min on the Aria. I use RunKeeper to keep track of my walks and I usually lost the first few minutes of tracking.
[Captivate General] AJerman:
Voted unusable. Over the weekend on a road trip to the beach I think I was able to get a lock ONCE the entire time.

Right now I'm in GPS Test and I have 8 satellites in view and 0 in use, 6 of which have a signal of 30+. It's been running for about 1-2 minutes. I've never seen that many satellites with that high of a signal and no lock. And just now while I was typing this, it lost all the satellites and dropped to 0 and is only picking up 4 (in view of course, not in use) now after 30 seconds or so.

This needs to be fixed. Messing with those settings isn't fixing the real issue, IF it's doing anything at all.

I love trying new Rom's. The only problem that I have is syncing facebook to my contacts most of the time its not working and when I do get it to work I don't want to change anything. then it just stops working. Is there anyone working on a fix for this cause I have talked to both HTC and Facebook guys and there blaming each other. There are some smart people in this forum. I would think that someone would come up with a workaround
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
have you tried this (posted in xtrSENSE thread by xtr):

Slow facebook sync? per erishasnobattery: log into your facebook account on your computer - Click Account>Application Settings>under Authorized - remove listing for HTC Sense.

so, using a sense-based ROM, i'd imagine that you'd want the HTC Sense setting on (in FB). if using non-sense based, follow the above.

hope it helps!
[Droid Eris Android Development] pkopalek:
I believe the facebook syncing has gotten MORE reliable with the July OTA update.

Try Evil Eris 4.0 when it comes out or Plain Jane v2 or Ivan's Eris_Official 1.1 when it comes out.

I leave always-on mobile on, and never have trouble with Facebook syncing. It never works right away, but does eventually. Sometimes if I open the people app, click the little recycling looking circle, and hit menu > refresh, the facebook syncing happens faster.

If you watch the Android SDK, you can watch it happening when it's happening. There's lots of data for it to download.
[Droid Eris Android Development] KingNemesis:
I have tried that about 8 times today and it didn't work I'm using Fresh Rom 3.0 right now.

Is there anyway to incorporate July OTA update into the current roms now like an update that I can flash I have search the forum and google with no luck
[Droid Eris Android Development] Romparoo:
I am running the new xtrSense 3.1 with the July update in it.

My wife's Eris allows for FB Sync with her contacts. I am looking at it right now, now issue at all.

I have no idea what ROM she is on, Sense based. In software info it doesn't say what it is. I think it might be the Leak4BaseROM, it only allows OC to 710.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
From my testing and research, the issue seems to only effect when you first setup the account so if you were connected BEFORE the issue, continuing operations seem to mostly work... not sure if this others experience though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mrhousto:
Give this a try...

Follow what tenzomonk posted. This is what I did about a month ago to get mine to sync. I was getting the com.htc.bg error and facebook would not sync.

Go to facebook online and sign in. Go to your applications and delete 'Facebook for Android'. Then go to settings> Accounts & Sync on your phone and remove 'Facebook for HTC Sense. Now restart your phone and go back into Accounts & Sync and add 'Facebook for HTC Sense' again. This should solve the issue with com.htc.bg and your facebook account should now sync properly! Also, if you want your facebook contacts added to your google contacts, open contacts/people and then hit the menu button, then view, and then check facebook. This will add them to your google contacts.

Hope this helps.
