[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadwalk:
Hello, i've searched through the forum and actually i dont know an answer to my problem so i have to ask now :)

I've flashed this one: [ROM Eclair XWJM2] SamSet 1.8 |CUSTOM A2SD FIXLAG| |THEMED| |OPTIMIZED| [01/08/10] with the installation guide given in the thread. But i wanted to get my SGS back to stock. So i used the "One Click Unroot" and now my Phone wont boot. It starts and i see the black screen with GALAXY S GT-I9000 SAMSUNG letters, but nothing more happens. What did i miss?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dupel:
They are probably incomparibale. Just reflash your phone again. Or try wipe from recovery .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadwalk:
I did that. Started the recovery mode, and wiped whole device, nothing changed. tried to flash the I9000XWJM2 , nothing changed. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divaboy:
Like has been said already just flash it will be fine. Has happened to me before
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadwalk:
Just flashed I9000XWJM2 again, nothing changed.

does it matter that i flashed a new kernel and SamSet too? Dont know how to go back to stock.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadwalk:
mhm, just realized that i flash only the .pit thingy. but there is also a code,modem,csc data in the I9000XWJM2.Rar archive. but in odin there are only pda,phone,csc. so what of them is important?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadwalk:
Got it, Code=Modem and PDA=Code :) flashing right now.

Edit: Yup, its allright now =) damn im stupid -.-*

Hi, I plugged in my galaxy S to try and flash the firmware and in Odin instead of Com7 it says Com4 - what should I do to fix this? Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dupel:
Kind of interested what made you think it has to be com7?

It can be any - mine is 11.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balenax:
they saw the tutorial on youtube.

there can be any com port, theres no requirement for the com to be number 7 :).

Ah I watched a youtube video. Anyway im using the JM2 firmware from samsung-firmwares.com and when I flash it doesnt even start, just says fail. Ive checked im using everything in the right place but it says this:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monkey101:
Check your USB Drivers. See if you can see the device in the Device Manager.

If its frozen now just unplug and turn your phone on and off.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaju123:
Ok so now it shows an icon of a phone connecting to a PC with a danger sign in the middle, no matter if I turn it off or not. Is it bricked or what can I do? :(

Also it doesnt show up when I plug it back in...#

And now it has frozen again when I try to update the firmware -.-
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanZA:
Did you flash with the correct PIT file?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaju123:
Yeah the 512.pit. Now whenever I try to flash it doesn't get beyond file analysis...

Also, what is a 512 pass?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanZA:
No idea what a 512 pass is.

How long are you waiting for the flash to complete? On some firmwares it can take a long time (5 minutes or so). What settings have you changed in odin?

Your device may also have a hardware fault.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaju123:
Well it was working fine before I tried to flash it. I would wait for the flash to complete but it does nothing but sit there at this point:

Hey everyone! im not going to fake anything here. just got this phone 3 days ago and finally feeling up to flashing my phone via odin however im completly and utterly stuck. Ive read up to put it in download mode (volup + voldown + power) and im on a screen that has "android system recovery <2e>" with some options and then at the bottom "manual mode"

i already had odin open and then connected the usb cable.. odin seems to recoginize it...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkstriker:
You are in the wrong mode. Vol up + vol down + power is the wrong combo. Try vol down + home + power!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeePeeHead:
I've been getting the same message too in ODIN lately. I couldn't figure out why because it was working fine before. Then I realized i recently moved my usb cable to one of the usb ports on the front of my computer case. Once i switched it back to the usb port in the back of my computer I've had no more problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dupel:
Close Kies and use different usb slot

Close kies, run as admin and in xp sp2 compatability mode.

Also try another usb port if it doesnt work.

First day of rooting.....

So first day of rooting/unlocking/rom exchanging

got incredibly far without bricking, was hella lucky.

BUTA got to the same problem presented as many of these

So I just wanted to post this for anyone else out there who recently decided to root their vibrant and softbricked it

Softbrick for the vibrant=the first black and white "vibrant/samsung" screen without movement

It flashes as you try recovery mode

IF this is the case, you CAN get to downloading mode

Just take the battery out, and put it back it

Now, holding both volume buttons, plug it into your computer

You should be in downloading mode.(Try a couple of times. Its a very picky little mode)

Now assuming you have winrar (get a beta/trial if you havent the money/skill to obtain it)

and downloaded the three links here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475

and opened up odin

and put the two files where they belong

and didnt touch anything else

you should have gotten a message in odin; somthing like <ID:0/003> Added!!

<ID:0/003> Removed!!

<ID:0/004> Added!!

The numbers will vary

Then click the start button, should be something like this that follows

[MENTION=5906548]fatboysuns[/MENTION] it seems to me like you have Kies installed and it runs in the background and blocks the flashing process. If so, kill all KIES processes with the Task Manager, or better: uninstall that crap. Just check if the drivers are still installed after removing Kies. One can install also drivers only.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Did you install Samsung mobile USB driver? It is important. Otherwise, some PCs are struggling, particulary Win 8 and 64-bit systems. Sometimes USB 3.0 port might be the problem (use USB 2.0) or simply bad cable. In general, old notebooks on Win XP 32-bit seem to be the most reliable for flashing job.

i like :D

but cant find any of these SGP cases or protectors from UK sellers yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
not good, it's a plastic hard case

it will blow up apart at the first drop, i've had cases like that for other phones, not good for protection.

okay for fashion
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] djase:
OMG !!!!

where i can buy it ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Schmich:
Pretty good, although I want a case that removes the current backpanel that utilizes those hinges and saves some space. Having a case on top of a removal and useless backpanel seems a waste to me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hihihehe:
but will it scratch the chrome bezel badly when keep slide in and out?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] fluke:
Likely, but we don't know till someone gets it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
this looks pretty useless to me. Just like an above poster said, the case is made of a plastic that will shatter and crack upon impact and will not be a very good protector for the SGS.

Another thing i'm wondering is, what's the point of this sliding mechanism? I mean, if the case is meant to be on the phone all the time, is the sliding feature only good for removing the phone? If so, i don't see the point for an extra feature like that when we can just remove the phone the conventional way like with most hardcover back cases.

If the case is only for storage, like when you put it in your pocket, and that you will remove it when using it, wouldnt a leather case pouch be more practical and offer better protection?

Just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
i actually tried one of those in the stores yesterday, and i didn't like it the plastic is really too hard, it will not offer impact (drop) protection

the mesh type cases found on the other Case topic offers more protection that this

however of all the 3 type of cases i've tried, the Silicon type is the best, it kinda sucks in looks (there are a few colour and types that does looks good), and it offers the most protection for accidental drops
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] scrizz:
ok, is this case like the incase slider for the iPhone?

b/c if it is Ima get it. That's what I had on my iPhone and it worked great

plus it didn't look like :(:o :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
yes it is really good, see pic

i got the red one, is very sharp, everybody loves it

however the new orange one is even better
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] SquidgyB:
The fact that it shatters when it hits the floor shouldn't be a bad thing in terms of protecting the phone, other than having to buy a new case.

A phone hitting a floor is all about dissipation of energy - if the energy goes into cracking and breaking a case apart, then a lot of the impact energy will be absorbed by the case breaking. That's why crash helmets commonly break on impact.

A rubbery/solid case might seem a better idea if you accidentally drop your phone, but in reality the shock will be transferred through the rubber (although somewhat dampened) and into the phone structure - and is so in a way more likely to crack the screen/phone chassis.

Of course it depends on the surface, angle of impact and height of the drop, but in general, if your phone falls and the back cover/case/battery fly out, it's better that the impact energy is distributed into these pieces than being absorbed straight into the phone/screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
This case caught my interest, my only concern is that when we slide in the galaxy S.. would it scratch the chrome bezel ?

For the SGP Ultra Slider, how would you attach a phone strap??
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] snapper.fishes:
Exactly my sentiment. Most likely you can't
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mems711:
A rubbery/solid case might seem a better idea if you accidentally drop your phone, but in reality the shock will be transferred through the rubber (although somewhat dampened) and into the phone structure - and is so in a way more likely to crack the screen/phone chassis.

The deal with rubbery case is that it is elastic, it's able to deform and hence reduce the impact/impulse, the same way car bumpers are designed for

Back to topic: I like the slider, maybe too slippery for me =(
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MKVFTW:
Finally some case common sense. I for one am going to order a SGP. I have owned nothing but hard cases like the above, the slider and innocaseII and they have all been through hell and back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nemethb:
Pretty good theories but I see some flaws.

A hard case such as the one AllGamer posted is probably the worst. It has less material around the front of the phone for one, which means if the screen is face down there is less material between the two and therefore more likely to be damaged. Also, the case basically clips onto the side and doesn't fully wrap around, so when the phone is dropped there is a chance that the entire case could fly off and render the protection practically useless (practically because it would have dampened the impact somewhat). Other hard cases that wrap around are probably better for protection than the one I just described. However, since they are both a harder material they will not absorb the impact nearly as well as a rubber/silicone case. You say that the case may break apart on impact and that is great in that it will dampen the impact, but the broken case could cause further damage to the phone (as iPhone users have reported) and could even leave the phone without any/much protection at all (if the parts of the case break away).

Now for rubber/silicone cases. They almost completely surround the device and have a nice lip over the front to keep some distance between the screen and surrounding surfaces. When dropped they absorb the impact by flexing and cushioning the blow...which hard cases do not do. For these two reasons I would say a rubber or silicone case is far better suited for protecting a phone than a hard case. If you've ever seen a rubber or silicone material react to an impact in slow motion you would know what I'm talking about.

Just my $0.02 and the reason I bought an SGP Ultra Silke.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] LostAlone:
I'm not going to toss in anything on the physics of this argument, I just wanna point out one fact that, in a deeply practical sense, decides this argument for me in favor of the rubber/silicon.

When a plastic case breaks, even if it PERFECTLY protects your phone for that single drop, it can never protect your phone again. Even if a silicon skin offers less protection per drop (which is debatable) it will offer that protection basically forever.

That does it for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sturmeh:
I don't think any case is actually capable of preventing an impulse exerted on the phone upon crash proceeding some freefall / drop.

What they ARE capable of doing is preventing nicks when you slide your phone across a large concrete floor, or drop it from a minimal height, or scrape past some sharp objects.

The case is as useful as a screen protector for the back itself.

However I'm sure someone could design a case that absorbed shock, however it would be so large it would get to a point where it was useless.

EDIT: What people said about the case breaking is partially true, if the impact is great enough to shatter the plastic the phone has almost no hope of surviving unless the crash itself meets an optimal velocity that just breaks the case and leaves no more force to be exerted causing damage to the phone itself. :P

You would have a shook up phone but the screen wouldn't be broken.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mickeko:
You're assuming the phone itself is incapable of absorbing force without taking damage which is inaccurate. The galaxy s can take quite a beating on its own before things break, and a hard case helps work absorbing hits on the weak spots (specially the corners) where a direct hit is most likely to shatter the glass.

Sent using my personal Dis-organizer GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nemethb:
Right.

I just hate how a lot of cases don't have enough of a lip over the front of the phone to act as a barrier. Kind of stupid if you ask me, barely protecting what is most important.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] khmerpride:
Did anyone order this? Any reviews on this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Soniboy84:
Something I'd give input on.

My choice is still the case-mate tough case(if Mr. play.com would finally post it!!). It has ABS plastic shell, that is commonly used in helmets to protect, because of it's shock absorbing capabilities. Below that case is the rubber/silicone cover, that hugs the phone, and if it drops, and let's say the ground bumps on this surface, it will simply transfer the shock back(like a ball), and the phone will bounce off.

The best case would be maybe some kinda foam case, or just wrap it into bubble wrap :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jark99:
i can also vouch for these mesh cases! i have the green one and love it! very firm and good grasp and doesnt stick in jeans like other cases. It feels nice and has good protection, ive dropped mine once or twice, other than that cant say enough :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] khmerpride:
Has anyone ordered this case yet the sgp ultra slider? Can anyone review this product that gets it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
Placed an order for them today, should get it in 7-10 business days.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DarrenCarnall:
I got one of those orange ones above (but in a lovely deep red) and it looks great.... but sadly after a couple of weeks of normal use and in-out pocket activity the matt outer film on the plastic is wearing off, revealing the shiny plastic underneath. Ends up looking very cheap so I'm getting one of those mesh ones above (actually... three of them. Red, white and black lol) so I'm hoping they may be a bit better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] SupremeXXL:
From Where?

I couldnt see it at any market SGPStore,Amazon.Ebay etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] khmerpride:
any update on the review from anyone that ordered this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
Im not really good at writing reviews, but I got both black and white..

The white I got had so many manufacturing defects but Im still using it anyway since it looks great!

The feel on the plastic is a bit better compared to the bare phone and the thickness it adds is perfect for the grip, the ultra slider comes with a few more protective sticker lining that is not found on SGP's installation video, theres a protection for the chrome bezel so you wont scratch it during installation.

Fits very snugly to the phone.

Will post pictures soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Arise:
@EarlZ: pics please!!!

Also, can you apply the slide case without the original battery cover? Could that give us few grams less in weight?

regards!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
Been very busy with work, no time to upload pictures yet but the youtube video should give you an idea on how it looks, the only thing not on the video is they didnt install/show the guard for the chrome bezel. I dont think you can use it w/o the back cover.. the back cover is probably just a few grams that you cant tell the diff.
