Just as a followup to my own question...

The HTML mail problem with Exchange is only with Exchange 2003. I added an account hosted on an Exchange 2007 server and it displayed HTML mail fine. I even found a whitepaper from Microsoft that mentions one of the new features of Exchange ActiveSync in Exchange 2007 to be syncing of HTML mail, so it is on the server end. The iPhone mail app and Touchdown for Android both display HTML mail from an Exchange 2003 server fine, so they are doing something to overcome this limitation.
[Captivate General] dirtblade:
I'm loving my Captivate but... My device spontaneously shuts itself down once in a while. Does anyone else experiencing the same problem? A few days ago I had to reset my phone to factory defaults and then it was fine until this morning. Is there something that causing that?

My phone is rooted but I don't think it has anything to do with being rooted as the problem has occurred a couple times before I've rooted it. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

So I have tried dang near every weather widget and ended up going back to weatherbug. Now what I have noticed is that after X amount of time, it stops updating. Same as every other weather widget. Now I'm running cm6 so could it be possible that froyo is system killing the widget? And is there a fix? Thanks!

Full wipe again this time I installed 5.0.8 with google apps and it worked fine. 6rc was working until I installed the google apps

I have done a full wipe b4 every flash. Im going to try to install 6rc on top of 5.0.8 without a wipe and see how that goes
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spoo76:
ok full wipe again. flash 5.0.8, then G-apps, then 6rc

[Galaxy S I9000 General] K3yMaster:
And you are certain that you are flashing with this update.zip ? Remember apps like RomManager also puts an update.zip in the root folder, so make sure that you are using the correct update.zip
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DocRambone:
Tried and not functional on JP2, tested root explorer, auto killer, no root achieved, either by adb or update.zip
[Galaxy S I9000 General] K3yMaster:
Works fine for me on JP2. Did the flash complete successfully?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bratfink:
Yes im 100% sure i am flashing the correct update.zip. It says the zip is bad? And then says flash failed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] riz157:
Yeah thanks keymaster very helpful! I have searched but can't find password anyone willing to share this info?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] K3yMaster:
The reason Im asking is that I too got a bad zip message, but discovered that it was trying to flash the update.zip from the RomManager app and not this one. If this is not your case, try to re-download the update.zip file.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] K3yMaster:
I actually wrote the password to you :)

its samsung-firmwares.com :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bratfink:

After some googling and guessing I made this work. And it works like a charm.

Knowledge I collected:

flashing of the kernels is done by Odin. (Place the kernel .tar file in the PDA slot)

go ahead... it doesn't brick your device... I found out after rebooting :D:eek:

the files you have to push in the second stage are attached (they are from the update.zip rooting file in this thread)

rooting jp3

Can anyone explain what adb is, and how I get it working to follow the posts on

rooting the jp3.

much appreciate any help!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] waaahsabi:
adb is a tool included in the android SDK, that allows you shell access (and other things) via the usb cable. The phone needs to be in USB debug mode for this. The whole procedure appears to be injecting the root-files (from update.zip) into a system running the JP2 kernel, and then installing them after replacing the JP2 with the JP3 kernel. At least that's how i understand it.

I'm just wondering where the separate kernel files are supposed to come from... and i'd give that a try.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] the.jack:

Works with me 2 :D .... Thnx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] deanwray:
for anyone having problems, this worked for me!

well, after ages of repeating the same procedure with adb shell bridge, decided that it since I still had no root, it was adb not reporting chmod errors to me. So decided to try another root ;) (I chuckled)

flash the jp2 kernel, boot up, since I have root with this kernel, install a terminal app and do the permissions (chmod) for the term and not use USV/ADB.

e.g.

in terminal app become su, type "su"

then change permissions on the files using chmod, same as everyone else, just leave out the "adb" obviously.

then flash jp3

and now I'm all set and it works :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] i1fang:
didnt work for me. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kirandeep:
this is a post from that same forum, so not mine but helped me understand how to do this

yes. bro. you will flash the zImage in the pda area. will not wipe your data.

download jp3 latest firmware from xda. there are many mirrors there.

put the 3 tar files in odin. use pit512 file. tick re-partition.

vol down + home + power on to go into downloading mode.

connect your pc to your phone.

start your flashing.

wait for the reset to appear.

phone automatically will boot.

take out the usb cable.

play with it for a while (card scanning takes slightly longer because it is the first time)

close and open odin again.

put jp2 to the pda section only. all other files not required.

go to d/l mode again. connect to pc, and press start

phone will be flashed.

get the superuser.apk, su and busybox from xda as well. deckcard had linked it in the previous page. it is a zip file, but extract superuser from the app folder and busybox and su from the bin folder.

now do the steps what deckcard had written. push the 3 files into the respective folder.

make sure you have usb debugging mode on.

do the chmod for the 3.

you can check you have superuser icon in your application page.

next power off your phone.

close and open odin again.

put jp3 into the pda section.

go to d/l mode and connect to pc

flash.

voila, latest jp3 with root.!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cruiseyunfat:

BUT everytime when I try to flash the JP3 Kernel again Odin stops after "zImage"

I had the same problem using win7. Rebooted win and it was ok.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
A reminder, don't use any update.zip at this point of time in reboot recovery. I think Samsung may have introduced some form of a checksum on it. My phone in fact cannot called out, as the Activity Dialer kept FC-ings. Only when I wipe my cache and factory reset then the phone can be used again.

However if you have rooted your device with superuser, that will remain. Also make sure to change your dev folder to rw, else there will be FCs in some of your apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan 6a:
I extracted the zip to my C:\AndroidSDK\tools\ folder

opened up cmd then went to C:\AndroidSDK\tools\

typed in

adb push su /system/xbin/

I'm having problems flashing just the PDA tar file.

When I'm flashing the JP2 PDA.tar onto the full JP3 firmware, I get an error during the update after reboot. It gives me the option of rebooting again, which I do, and it gets stuck on the screen with the big 'S', vibrating once in a while.

I got around that by flashing (at the same time) JP2 PDA, and JP3 for the others. I still get the same error during the update after reboot, but this time it makes it through to the OS. I can then root the phone via adb.

However, when I'm trying to flash JP3 PDA.tar back onto the phone, I get stuck at the boot screen again. It doesn't work unless I start it in recovery mode and do a factory reset (which kills the root).

Any ideas how I can get around this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nl2006:
I got the same problems after flashing JP2 kernel and stuck at reboot black screen !!! :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Barb0ne:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] oddsocks:
I got stuck here too for a couple of days, but if you go to the original site with the instructions for the root, you'll find that it says to flash the "kernel" specifically, not the whole PDA file, and have links to download the kernel. If you don't want to download the kernel from there, you can always extract it out from the PDA file, its the zImage file and flash that.

NB. Flash full JP3, flash the JP2 kernel, root using adb as the instructions say, then flash back the JP3 kernel

forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showpost.php?p=47625300&postcount=979

samsung just make things harder now... but i still managed to root it..

basic idea.. use the dev kernel from jp2... then push all the root files in place, flash back jp3 kernel.. lol

db.tt/LVcHwi - jp2 kernel

db.tt/hd5TiW - jp3 kernel

extract the root.zip files (su, Superuser.apk and busybox) into a folder

I wont talk about the basic things for flashing anymore so the short instructions are:

After flash jp2 kernel in odin (load under pda) and booted up, fire up adb:

adb push su /system/xbin/

adb push busybox /system/xbin/

adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

adb shell

chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su

chmod 4755 /system/xbin/busybox

chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk

flash jp3 kernel

Has anybody tried this, or is it the same thing that everybody is talking about on this thread? I don't understand what all those commands do yet. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FadeFx:
thats basically what people talk about here, but you can use the update.zip provided in first thread after applying jp2 kernel, and then reflash jp3 kernel...

Than you did with your last phone?

For Me, Yes I get some signal loss covering the back, but only in a really poor signal area. If Im in a strong 3g area I cant make a bar drop if I cover the whole phone, and even when signal drops its still fast as can be and no call drops.

Now, compared to my Nexus one, I say its better, If I set my old n1 next to the vibrant, the Vibrant will more than likely be on 3g and the n1 not. The Vibrant has picked up 3g in places my n1 never would, unless of course I switched it to 3g only in settings using the *#*#4636#*#* Trick.

This also goes for my wifes TP2, it also will not pick up 3g as fast as my Vibrant or hold it as well...

SO, For Me, I think the Vibrants reception is better than my old N1 and TP2...... I just wish Tmobile would up their service to more areas. Then I bet we wouldnt see this issue as much.....

SO. Whos happy with their reception? I am....
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
I cannot attest for the data connection, but my overall phone reception has improved since I got the Vibrant. My previous phone was Nokia N95 - home I would have a choppy phone conversations, in the office I would get no service.

With Vibrant, my calls are crystal clear at home, and I occasionally drop to 2 bars on EDGE in the office from full bar 3G signal, but I never saw the phone loose the signal completely.
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
Definite better reception. However I'm coming from a Sidekick '08, which wasn't even 3G. Not sure how much difference that makes.
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
thats another thing. Holding my n1 in my home over the antenna would totally lose signal. Not this, itll hold it alot longer...

Hell even edge is faster than my other phones...
