[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorealmighty:
Ok, I actually just went through this....3 times.

The first time I did it I freaked, took the phone to T-Mobile and they told me it was done. (SO messed up the tech even made the comment that they would never find the ROOT) However, I got my refurb this eveningand went to load 2.2 to it through KIES. It hung around %34 and I freaked, called t-mo before I did anything and then proceeded.

After turning off the target (phone) even though the screen explicitly says not to, I got the lovely 3 icon death screen. I brought Kies up and it explained "emergency recover mode." When you turn the phone off, hold both the Volume up and down buttons at the same time, and plug the USB cable back in, you resume the DL as before.

"How does this apply to root?" well. when I decided to ODIN back to stock, It hung around %34 again, this time in ODIN, so what did I do? what the hell, lets unplug and take out the battery. "emergency recover mode" blah blah blah, resumed the DL with the death screen still there and now my phone is nice and rooted :).

Just realized you apparently found this out. but now that I know what to do, and I think you know what to do, congrats lol. ALSO, even though it hung during my ODIN, I went ahead and flashed Bali (my kernel of choice) downloaded set cpu, voodoo control etc. it was a little buggy with the initial update.zip CWM but that aside, my phone is working perfectly again. Just had to work through somethings. glad you were able to get your phone fixed, hope you are able to pass the knowledge along to someone else who can use it :).

cannot flash I-9000

I was happily using cyanigenmod (cm-10-20121205-UNOFFICIAL-galaxysmtd.zip), the I accepted to get an updated but after I installed it the phone started to operate badly. I then tried to reinstall it but I reformatted by mistake the internal SD card :(

I then put the phone in download mode and tried to refalsh with Semaphore_JB_2.9.12.tar kernel using Odin. which recognized the COM but, after trying 'setup connection' it fails updating.

I finally disconnected the phone and the infamous screen appeared ...

I am really stuck: I cannot exit and put the phone back in doenload mode and, even in download mode, I was not able to flash ...

plz help
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sada23:
1. Use Baywolf' AIO toolbox to flash back to STOCK ROM for vibrant.

2. Root the phone. You could use "One click Root".

3. Flash CWM recovery.

4. Copy one of JB ROMS to sdcard.

5. reboot to CWM recovery and flash then new JB ROM.

Good luck.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakionowner:
Just reflash to overcome stock, i found the solutions... What u need is ODIN v3.07 and stock GB_Stock_Safe_v5 .. And 90% battery power to DO ...

Just let the phone turned on

Open ODIN

Insert PIT files "example - gt-p1000_mr.pit"

Insert GB_Stock_Safe_v5 in PDA section.

And START to flash.

Let it process to restore your device ... U might get lucky :D

Install the program "Auto Mount" from Market and remount your SDcard.

It's because of this feature in the latest version of Sky Map:

p.s. Sky map is not working properly because the compass sensor is not auto callibrating.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niftymu:
The phone still has factory warranty on it, being that the phone has only been out for a little over two months and you get a year. So you could def get a replacement.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TakoLuffer:
Thanks :D har har idk how to tho XD

i think you need to call/email them for assistance.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niftymu:
You simply call customer service (611) from your phone tell them what's going on, and they will troubleshoot the problem with you. Now if your problem can't be fixed after the troubleshooting they should issue you a replacement. Keep in mind Manf. Warranty does not cover water damage, and if your phone is rooted I advise you to unroot.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt tallant:
Just a little pointer though, i just went through a similar situation. Dont bother unrooting till after you get the new phone in the mail. You'll have like 7 days to make the switch and be able to keep your phone the way you like it in the mean time.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munken:
Hi. I have searched the forum, and checked google for possible answers for about 2 days but haven't come up with something I can use.

I got my HTC Desire a couple of days ago and soon upgraded it to froyo. However being from Denmark i realized that I do not have the option to purchase apps, which leaves me with some demos and apps I would like to buy the full versions off.

I then browsed the topic and saw that my best option was to root my phone and give it a custom rom.

After all methods had failed me I browsed a little more to find out that none of the methods I had used would work on 2.2.

I then found some nice guides about downgrading but all of those said something like: Don't do this if your phone is either *gibberish* or *lots of numbers*.

So basically that leaves me with a bunch of questions:

1. Is there a way to enable the market without rooting/flashing until there is a way to just root 2.2 (this is without buying a foreign sim card)

2. IS there a way to root 2.2 that I simply missed?

3. is there a way to downgrade at which I do not have to fear utter destruction and chaos.

4. Why does google not love me back :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 183.amir:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munken:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debully:
I too could do with a guide on how to downgrade from OTA froyo (hboot 0.92) in order to root and flash a custom rom. Battery life isnt really acceptable in the stock froyo and I could do with sideloading one or two apps from my hero.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tadzio:
Yes, but it's not a one-click-solution. You need to downgrade to hboot 0.80/Android 2.1, then root your phone, then flash any cooked ROM you like.

Read all the details here.

Cheers

[Droid Incredible General] pieter3d:
Since installing 2.2, it seems that the orientation sensor is too sensitive. I have tried calibrating of course. Just tipping the phone slightly seems to cause the active app to switch to landscape from portrait.

[Droid Incredible General] shoman24v:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Did you know that Google Location services also uses Wifi triangulation? For this to work you have to turn on wifi so that it can spot accesspoints and the signal strength of those Ap's. The claim is that this will enhance location tracking in urban areas where there is a poor GPS reception. You don't actually have to connect to an accespoint for this to work. (Maybe some of you guys who are creating those artistic tracks in cities all over the world can try this feature and look if it helps)

The alternative of the google wifi triangulation is Skyhook. In this article it is stated that Samsung is going te deploy Skyhook technology in their phones. I don't know if the Galaxy S is using this technology at the moment. (I believe that the lbsapplication where you can enable skyhook isn't a propriatery app, uniqually for the Galaxy S, but an general android app) In fact, I seriously doubt that. To use that technology an application has to be made "skyhook" aware. This is not a driver thing, but a SDK "thing". Now, Motorola already uses this technology and integrated this technology by updating the location service libraries on their android devices (source)

Some speculation: It can very well be that the google maps / navigation update Samsung UK is announcing on twitter for the past two weeks is deploying this technology, and that it really is meant to enhance the location based service.

BTW For developers: there's an SDK available for Skyhook on their website: http://www.skyhookwireless.com/ ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robnil:
you can enable skyhook in sgs, read the gps-threads
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
I know, but I seriously doubt that the skyhook library is implemented on the Galaxy ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] newsgroupmonkey:
Do you mean WiFi triangulation or Phone-Mast triangulation?

In the past, the Nokia, Blackberry and iPhone use phone-mast triangulation.

It's terrible unless you're in the middle of a city - at home, my blackberry can be up to 1/2 a mile out if it can't get a GPS signal.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robnil:
Explain to me how wifi-triangulation works. As far as I know you need to have at least 3 fixed point to calculate the position. Phone-masts are in fixed positions but wifi-sources are everywhere in every home and cafe, constantly moving, changing etc..

I can clearly see a BIG improvement in the gps-performance when turning on the wifi-radio at the same time as the gps. With gps-only it can be over 1000 m error, with wifi+gps its down right on the spot.

Can it be that the gps and the wifi share the same antenna?!

[Droid 2 General] Jabbafat23:
The Droid 2 is a cdma phone meaning its not compatible anywhere but with Verizon in America. You will have to wait for a gsm spec phone to come out ie Milestone

....but this could be a HTC built snap-dragon device instead of a Motorola built ARM-Cortex device. If that's the case - I'd go for the Droid 2 as opposed to the Pro. If the Droid 1 is anything to go by, the ARM-Cortex is more stable for OCing :D

I gave it a go at my university. You get asked for username and password once you open the web browser and try to access a website.

Doesn't seem to just affect the web browser. At my university you need to login to the proxy before it lets you access anything outside the university site, and after logging in I was able to download app updates and run a couple of IM apps.

Hi all.

I posted this at Cyanogen's own forums, but it's much quieter over there than here at XDA, so hopefully someone here can help...

I'm trying to change the boot animation on a Nexus One running CyanogenMod 6 RC2.

I put the bootanimation.zip on my SD card and from Better Terminal Emulator pro ran the command(s):

su

cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/

I then rebooted and no change.

What could be wrong here?
