Welcome to xda-developers, solaabdul.

First of all, why all those caps? It's perfectly readable in normal letters. ;)

Secondly, everyone wants a "flashing for dummies guide" and a personal trainer to get the latest roms on their device. The trick is, finding those guides by using the "search" function, on top of this forum.

You can use the advice given by Raving_nanza to get your device updated.

Good luck in finding the right rom for your device.

I am trying to cook my own ROM can someone let me know how I should do the following:

* have the start menu at the top

* Have Co0kie's Home Tab but the menu button in the home page that edits the home is not required. I need some other functional button like contacts. So in my ROM we will have a phone button and a contacts button

* Have in the ROM some professional style, elegant buttons.

Maybe someone can help me

I can not connect to the Microsoft Exchange.

I tried with the server administrator and we were able to synchronize
[HD Mini General] NeilM:
Are you uisng a hosted Exchange service, or a private/company Exchange Server setup?

If the latter, the Exchange Server settings need to include mobile access and the provision of the correct certificates to the mobile device.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
I was just wondering if we could figure out a way to get Verizon's NFL Mobile App to work. Obviously there will be no redzone or NFL Network because they require VCAST, but the other things should work if there is a way to crack it.

Heres what I have done so far:

1. Changed my SIM Numeric from 310410 (AT&T) to 310004 (Verizon)

2. Searched for the NFL Mobile app on the market and downloaded it.

(note in the terms of conditions it does day that verizon checks your GPS periodically to enforce NFL blackout of games and our GPS's are crippled so that could be one probable cause. There is a way to fake location in the SDK right?)

3. It starts loading for X amount of time and then it just quits.

Before the latest version of the NFL Mobile app people were able to get it working with an older version, but at the the loading screen it prompts you to update the app or exit.
[Captivate General] kyphur:
Closing this thread...

It has been agreed that Apps provided to the device owners by their service provider is considered WAREZ if it is distributed to users who do not own the device it was provided with.

Efforts to make a Verizon supplied app work on non-Verizon hardware is at best a grey area and at worst supporting WAREZ.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatsitsnamenow:
I just found out that my EVO reads my sd card at a slower speed than writing it. Below is a snapshot I took when using SD card test reader on the phone. I have similar results (reading slower than writing speeds) on 3 of the micro sd cards I tested. This is very evident when I tried to copy a few backup roms I made to my computer. 2 gb of data took roughly 35 minutes to complete.

When I took the sd card out of the phone and hook it up to my laptop I can transfer the same 2gb of roms in just 2 minutes (17 MB speed).

What could be going on with the phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cayniarb:
Weird. My phone/SD card have the opposite 'problem:' Read @ 3MB/s, write @ 2 MB/s. Class 2 SD Card.

Yeah I called both HTC and Sprint and they couldn't figure out what is the problem. I should get a replacement but I'm afraid a new phone will be android 2.2 already and I can't root anymore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhutpham:
The EVO definitely acts a bit strangely as a disk drive, look at the following results I got with the same Polaroid 16gb Class 2 card I got from Fry's. The left image is through an micro to regular SD card adapter through my laptop, the right image is with the micro sd mounted through my EVO as a disk drive.

The SD speet test app on my phone netted 5mb read/5mb write

Is there an app or hack I can apply to select text without using a trackball. something like the iphone with its magnifying glass
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
That was my biggest hurdle when switching from iPhone to Nexus 1. You can use your fingers to press and hold until the menu pops up, but then it's still pretty much the same thing as using the trackball.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
The HTC desire has an excellent magnifying glass type of copy paste like iPhone. It's been talked about porting it to the nexus but it just hasn't happened yet. It probably needs all the sense UI frame work files along with it which is why we haven't seen it ported yet. Google's implementation is pretty lame, I'm not sure why they haven't improved it by now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AverageCanadian:
Clearly not the best solution but you can do.

menu->more->select text

then just select the text you want to copy

Rooted Phone running Fresh

When dialing *2 Call in Phone mode, instead of calling Sprint Customer Service it brings me to "Sprint Zone". Any ideas?

Second issue. About 15% of the time and almost 80% of the time with certain people calling, swipeing the screen in a downward motion does not answer the call. I can stand there and swipe and swipe and swipe and if it doesnt want to respond it wont, until I get the missed call notice. Then the phone works fine until it happens again.

Ideas or thoughts?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tribalartgod:
Unfortunately, the *2 issue is present in many peoples phones... This is an error with Sprint. As far as a fix is concerned, I'm not sure.

As far as the swipe issue... I'm sorry, I don;t know what is causing this for you. :-/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miki4242:
While poking around in the internals of Kies I discovered a way to update your firmware without having to start Kies.

This may be valuable for those who have problems with Kies recognizing their phone, and for those who simply cannot stand the bloat.

You do need to

You do need to have Kies installed, you simply don't need to load it all just to check or update your firmware.

Follow these simple steps (note: DO NOT connect your phone yet!):

Make sure Kies isn't running and doesn't start automatically:

- If you have a Kies icon on your taskbar tray, right-click it and uncheck "Auto start Kies TrayAgent" and "Auto start Kies".

- Make sure Kies isn't running: use Task Manager or your favorite task killer. If you want to be sure Kies isn't running, simply reboot your PC.

Now, to access the firmware update module:

- Open the file manager and navigate to "C:\Program Files\Samsung\Kies" (note: on 64bit systems like mine, replace "Program Files" with "Program Files (x86)")

- Find the file "MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate.exe"

- Run it by double-clicking. It will show a window with graphic indicating no device is connected.

- Finally, connect your phone.

- Voila!

You can create a shortcut to it by right-clicking the file, selecting "Copy", navigating to where you want the shortcut to be (your desktop for example), then right-clicking on an empty spot and selecting "Paste Shortcut".

---[HERE BE DRAGONS]---

For those daring enough to venture beyond this point and risk persecution and death, here is a secret key sequence I discovered in the firmware update module.

DON'T connect your phone just yet!

Test Mode:

- Run "MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate.exe"

- When the window indicates no device is connected, press and hold <Left Ctrl><Left Alt>'U'-'P' (that's Control, Alt AND the letters 'U' and 'P', all at once!)

- You will see an alert box saying "Test Mode On"

- Repeat to turn Test Mode off (note: you will have to close the alert box first)

- You're on your own here, I've not tested anything beyond this point.

I have confirmation from people on different forums that Test Mode helped them upgrade phones that Kies didn't want to upgrade otherwise.

If you have problems upgrading, try it! But please remember that Test Mode is what it says, no-one is making any promises that it will do the same thing (or anything at all for that matter) in newer versions of Kies.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
Interesting! I put the updating software in test mode, and rather than saying my device can't be upgraded it tells me that the latest version is already installed...

I guess it REALLY doesn't mean anything, but for some reason it still gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tim182:
Very interesting! Maybe those of us who get "this version cannot be updated" can update the firmware with one of those modes!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miki4242:
Glad it helped you to upgrade :-)

This shows why it is sometimes better to hold on to older versions of software (Kies). Newer isn't always better in every respect :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tim182:
Absolutely. Although it might also have something to do with 64 vs 32 bit but I highly doubt it. Curious to see if this also works for others
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miki4242:
What Kies version worked for you? Do you still have the installer?

By newer version not working, do you mean that test mode is or isn't available? Or did it simply not help with upgrading?

If you or someone else still has a working version, it would be nice to upload it somewhere so others can use it, too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] satyrus:
I was on the stock JF3 firmware.. and KIES was telling me a couple days ago that this fw was the latest (which ofc isn't), since yesterday it says that the version on my device is not upgradable..

Anyway since switching to "test mode", it gives me the option to the JM1 version.

Dunno where my phone is from.. probably Germany or Uk i suppose..

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Muaddib69:
Testing on Vista x64 + Kies 10074_2. (SGS= ROOTED PDA JM5, PHONE JM3)

By clicking on MCS.thunder...exe opens firmware update screen less than a second, closes itself, shows loading screen of kies, and finally kies its open.

Cant use MCS.Thunder...exe alone.

Anyway, tried method ctrl-alt-u-p after opening firmware updating function on kies, and always the same result: Your device cant be upgraded (more or less, my kies is in spanish)... dont know thats because there is no newer firmware available or because my phone is rooted... or whatever reason.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] VikingDK:
You have to do what Miki says, make sure Kies is NOT running the background.

Check if you have the Kies icon in the lower right corner of your taskbar.

If it's running, right click it, uncheck "Auto start Kies TrayAgent" and "Auto start Kies" and then exit Kies completely.

Now you should be able to run it just fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
When trying to run the "test mode" I always get this message (running W7 64bit):

Nothing in task manager regarding Kies.

No taskbar icon kies related (showing all)... BUT

I've tried again (same steps than before...) and firmware window stays.

(dunno)

By connecting phone shows the same msg: "PDA: JM5, Phone:JM3"... and something like "the version of this device cant be updated"...

ctrl-alt-u-p just toggle test mode from on to off with no more info.

Hi,

I followed your guide, and this is what happened:

I shot this video to show you guys whats happening.

Please help:

please go to youtube/watch?v=7L1gBhr7_dk

the second i connect it saying "Samsung Kies", this happens. What do i do?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NetCopAD:
Backup your internal SD card and format it. This helps sometimes.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
I still get this. No idea why. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty_uk:
Ok guys, just tried this.

running the latest version of kies,

steps that worked for me

1, downloaded MyBackup (free version)

2, did backup of both apps and data (put both on ext memorycard)

3, used the restore to factory option under privacy in the settings menu

4, unmounted internal sd card and formated it (to remove the mtp loop issue)

5, run kies,

6, select update firmware,

7, at the box where it says no device connected, put into test mode (ctrl + alt + U + P)

8, connected phone

9, detected thaqt there was an update to JM1 available

10, started update,

currently it is downloading to my phone at about 30%, this is how i got it to work for me, i dont know if it will work for everyone, i dont know what the final result will be i will post when update completed, now at 75%. android just rebooted.

its looking good guys, was previously on a xxJF3 as per factory settings, not rooted, just apps installed.

ok just finised loading and i see i have a new unlock screen, now on xxJM1, so i guess that was successful, now i got to test the gps make sure that still works.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty_uk:
wow gps now sucks ass,

first test under performance test took 155 secs an still no lock, just ran again and 21 secs i got a lock.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fiforty:
You may need Administrator as you are trying it through W7 otherwise it may be 64bit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fiforty:
After some wrangling with Kies I got it to work and it's awesome for my phone now.

Coming from XXJF5 to JM1 has sped up program opening plus my battery seems vastly improved by hours not minutes.

My phone lasts almost 1.5 days now with mild usage.

I did have some issues with this and it may have been because I had root access and the lag fix and flashed over the top of these.

I don't know that this caused any problems but I flashed my phone 2 times and reset to factory 2 times before I got the phone to boot without any errors.

Not for the faint hearted but it's worth the effort if you are brave

?How to update to gingerbread using kies (or part thereof)?

Hi I'm a noob member of this forum, but have been watching it for 3 months. With suggestions from this site, I have eventually managed to get the current version of kies (2.0.0.11014_49) to connect to my Galaxy S I9000 - at least some of the time (it's a bit hit and miss).

I have been able to sync my contacts and podcasts from my phone to my computer using kies.

I can get to the kies screen for updating firmware. BUT - this is the really frustrating part - it tells me that my firmware is up to date.

It correctly tells me that my firmware version is:

PDA:JP5/PHONEJP3/CSC:JP4(XSA) - this matches the output of the *#1234# key-code.

From the handset, in Settings>About Phone I get:

Firmware version 2.2

Baseband DTJP3

Kernel version 2.6.32.9 foot@SE-S604 #7

Build FROYO.DTJP5

I am aware of the post "[TIP] Kies firmware update without using (all of) Kies!" by miki4242, but this doesn't apply to the latest kies. Does anyone know how to do the same thing with the current version of kies? I have not rooted my phone, and would prefer to use Samsung software (kies or part thereof) to get gingerbread. Surely it shouldn't be so hard!?!

(Or why can't we get it as a download direct to the phone from samsung or the market?)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Emrys_:
I'm having the same problem more or less, I cannot understand why Samsung cannot provide a standard way to update the freaking phone...

I'm stuck with Kies, which for some reason won't update; and I do not know what to do. I do not want to root the phone as I do not know enough about the kernels and stuff to be willing to take any risk...

For the sake of clarity, here is what happens

:

In order to have Kies properly connect my phone, I need to restart the phone. Kies sees the phone, I click on update firmware, I skip the backup (this also does not work for some reason), and then it says: Samsung Kies will not update the firmware, do not disconnect the phone.

It auto disconnects the phone, and nothing happens... I cannot reconnect the phone to Kies unless I reboot it.

Any help is appreciated :(

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] h0rd4k:
There's no "MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate.exe" in my Kies folder. I even did a search of the whole hdd.

I am having the exact same problem... I am also unable to backup anything using Kies 2.0.2

any luck finding a solution??

I have yet to do any of this (other than get a backup using MyBackup), but have some questions... (noob here)

Step 3: Will this remove all the definitions for my phone number and/or provider as well?

Step 4: I'm assuming I am having the same problem here with the mtp loop issue, is there another way to get rid of this problem?

Step 7: the CTRL+ALT+U+P thing doesn't work with Kies 2.0.2 :( so if I am unable to do an update, will the phone be at Froyo (2.2) as it is now? or does it revert to 2.1 (which it was when I bought the unit)?

2. Select "Phone Information"

3. Press "Menu" soft key

4. Select "More"

5. Select "Disable Data on Boot"/ or just disable data

6. Reboot

Now data should be disabled (you won't see E/3G icons in the notification bar) and you can use WiFi whenever you want.
