[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoaringSpoon:
There is no Root

There is no root out for 2.2 yet. A sticky are the posts that are always on top of the forum list you will see a pin icon right before the title. The XDA devs are working on finding an exploit for 2.2 but as of right now no one has made any or mentioned making any progress on rooting 2.2. I along with many other new EVO users bought it with the damn 2.2 already up an running. But worry not it may take a few months but no one has ever built a perfect un exploitable system. Some one some day will figure it out just give them some time until then cheers.:)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
Sorry dude, there is no root method for Froyo yet. I'm sure its in the works. Not saying this to be mean or sarcastic, just a heads up, try to familiarize yourself with the search feature here and do alot of reading to make sure your question hasn't been answered yet. It will save you from getting flamed by other members for posting something that's been asked multiple times already. A sticky is basically a thread deemed important by the mods. It will always be at the top of the thread list. There's one that explains all the forum rules. Hope this helps and enjoy XDA.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] BillyGlyde:
Sorry this is only the 2nd time in my life i have writen in a forum, hope it helped cause i know i couldnt find the info myself.

Open up a new browser - tap the bottom left button at the base of your phone - click the box labled 'More' - scroll down to the second last word that says 'Settings' -scroll down to 'Enable plug-ins' words, tick that - now to test, go to whatismyflash . is version 9.something, will only work on some sites, samsung galaxy s seems to only come with that pre installed version, have fun with that till froyo brings flash 10.1 . Your welcome.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
I'm having trouble decoding your encryption.

but it sounds like you are telling people how to access Adobe Flash plug in, which is by default enabled

if you want Adobe Flash 10.1 you can use a Custom ROM, or you can wait for Froyo..... yes???

or are you asking for help to install Adobe Flash 10.1 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rocketpaul:
What roms have flash?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FlanFlinger:
Yup it works !

Bit shonky on some sites, but that probably because it's flash 9, it works on Lidl and Aldi for the pikies lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:
Thanks for the tip, I can now use Youtube! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mike.sw:

although it crashed some pages, and the other one I saw was slowwwww. It works.

woot
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hiraj_panosian:

that's weird because i didn't have to turn it on, and the flash pages were working fine for me.

it shows as on already, bust have been one of the millioin things i've installed into the phone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yani2000:
My flash bloated pages were working "fine" (simple flash elements were shown, more complex ones do not show) without that option enabled.

If I enable it my browser craches on every page that has flash.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Essayli:
Thanks for the reply.

I enabled the plug in, however; when I try to play the video, I get is a red Icon "Flash" with number 9 below.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
Doesn't work on all flash files. Videos and games don't seem to load. Ads however do.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
LOL :D of course Ads will always load, that's how they make money :p

most of the videos and games are using Flash 10.xx or Flash 11

but our installed Flash seems to be like version 9 or something like that

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParkerOviedo:
I have tried everything. Holding volume up and power, down and power, both and power

Holding the whole time, letting go at the vibrant screen

I even did i factory reset and it wont work

Does anyone else have this issue?

It is going to ultimately force me to get a replacment device

I was wondering if there was somehing i missed
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robavila721:
hold both volumes and power until you see the contact screen for the second time.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ry-Guy615:
Same problem here. Spent a day trying to get it to work. Finally gave up and used the one click root method to get into recovery. This is my second Vibrant, so it's not that I haven't done this correctly before. Very strange, but one click worked for me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParkerOviedo:
The one click doesn't do anything

It puts the update.zip on my internal storage then doesn't reboot or anything

Would it still work through adb?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shootr:
I've spent several hours trying to get into recovery and download mode via the buttons. I've tried everything I've found on the forums, and pretty much concluded that the US Vibrant is seeing the same issue that Bell Canada and Aus Optus is with some phones not having the power button reboot functional for whatever reason. I'm going to return mine tomorrow for one that works. Hopefully I don't get any static about trying them out till I find one that works properly.

ADB works fine for me to reboot to recovery and download. I personally would use TGA_Gunman's root.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allen099:
Hey guys. I just bought a Vibrant today and am having this same issue. No matter how many times I hold either volume button independently (or even together), I can't get into Fastboot, or I guess Download mode as it's called here. I'm coming from a Nexus One where it works everytime, so this is kind of weird. Launching RomManager and selecting to boot into recovery does work, but I don't want to rely on that.

Is the smart thing to go swap the physical phone?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kas21:
I am having the same problem with my Vibrant. Anyone figure out how to get it into recovery?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wbexpress:
As unpleasant as it may seem to do so, it really behooves you who are having those issues, (as am I with my 3rd replacement!!!) Vibrant, it is absolutely worth your while to set up ADB, for numerous reasons. It solves both of those issues and allows so many other options. Once you do the installation of the SDK on your PC and install the right drivers, it is not at all difficult to use it to do many important things much easier.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdunn20:
just download quick boot from the app store and u can reboot, recovery, or bootloader ur phone with this app
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flameinthefire:
he means boot rom and hes right just download it from app store and click install clockrecovery and after that click reboot in recovery and your done.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shootr:
The problem with relying on adb, Quick Boot, and Rom Manager is what are you going to do when you flash and your phone won't boot? You won't be able to get into download or recovery mode and you'll be hosed. Take the phone back while you can and get one that works.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ry-Guy615:
Exactly. I'm curious if there's a way around this though. What is it

that actually causes the phone to boot into recovery with the hardware keys and is it something that can be fixed/flashed?

I already exchanged once within the thirty days and I don't think the 30 days gets reset. Think I'm past the return period now.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allen099:
I'm so glad you wrote that. This is exactly my feeling. In ideal solutions, ADB or even installing a terminal emulator onto the phone is great. But for any dev who dabbles with modifying their phone in any way, having access to recovery directly from the phone is an absolute must.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gusgom:
Im having the same problem but let me ask could it be because Avatar is in the sd card?...I keep reading (NOW) that the Root zip files should be copy to a SD without Avatar....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YMark:
There are two "SD" cards, an internal and external. The external one is the on that the user can swap. It also contains the Avatar movie (if it is the one that came with the phone).

The update.zip file should be copied to the internal SD card. The one WITHOUT the Avatar movie.

I also cannot get my phone to boot into recovery using the buttons. I rooted using one-click.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny12times:
It seems to be an issue with new/replacement Vibrants. I have a thread about it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=764360

If anyone has a device like this and can pull a dump file from it and upload it, that would be fantastic! I'm not sure if this is a physical limiter or a software based one, but I'm pretty sure it's software based on experience and manufacture dates. Once we get a dump, I'm sure someone will be able to figure it out.

And to back what the others said, I was able to adb download no problem, but when the Odin flash hung, there was no way to get back in to download mode and I ended up having to exchange the phone. As soon as my next one gets here, I'll test and post a dump if someone else hasn't already.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dex1701:
I had the same issue on a replacement Vibrant and this works for me to get into download mode (even after Odin hung and it looked 100% dead):

1. Removed SD and SIM card

2. Removed battery

3. plugged the phone into USB

4. held down vol-up and vol-down

5. popped the battery back in while holding vol buttons
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] likingandroid:
Excellent directions. Worked like a charm.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maltesemania432:
OMG! I seriously thought my Vibrant was trashed! Excellent directions for getting your Vibrant out of Boot loop and into Download mode:

1. pull everything out of phone (battery, SIM, SD card)

2. Plug in USB cable

3. Hold down both volume buttons

4. Insert battery while holding down volume buttons.

My phone went into Download mode easily at this point.

In my case, my phone got stuck in Boot loop while trying to use ROM Manager for a new ROM. Guess I used it wrong, I'll just stick with installing ROM's by way of Recovery mode. Anyway, my phone stayed in Download mode until I flashed it with ODIN. I just flashed it back to stock and started over. Here's the link:

Captain CHAOS...............

don't worry m8 its an easy, but annoying fix, all you gotta do is unroot, restart, delete the root apps, restart, turn off, take out battery, run seus, do the reinstall and you get all the stuff back to normal, after that you can root again, be careful, dont delete/uninstall any google apps, and it will be fine, if you look at the thread on BUG..........PLEASE READ it will explain how i came to this lol, it also give advice on fixing market if you end up with a stuck market (after the seus), there are also thread on what is safe to remove, use these for a rough guide, obviously there will be stuff that you will want to keep,

i uninstalled

user guide

E support

moxier app

playnow app

backup&restore app

chinese keyboard

korean keyboard

android.ime

latin.ime tutorial

voice search

and a few others, but i has to do some thread reading and learn a bit, but all the info you need is on the threads, just do a wee bit of homework after you run SEUS and before rooting and you will do fine
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Andiiboy:
Captain CHAOS...............

don't know if you can remove the ads m8, but its only a small annoyance, just get rid of the stuff you dont need moxier etc, ive spent 3 days doing homework and flashing and messing up and flashing and messing up, just to get to this point, but its worth the time, so DONT REMOVE ANY GOOGLE APPS lol

heres some links for homework reading, easy

these are the google apps i have left..

google mail 1.3

google mail storage 1.6

google talk 1.3

google talk service 1.3

i quote u said be careful, dont delete/uninstall any google apps, and it will be fine.. :'(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Andiiboy:
Captain CHAOS...............

you will need to do a REINSTALL using the SONY ERICSSON UPDATE SERVICE (SEUS), you can go to c: program files (x86)/sony ericsson/update service/db/13740270 (or the number you got)/blob_fs AND DELETE ALL FILES

Then run seus to get a totally fresh download and update install, after its finished let it boot etc, install root apk and root again, but dont delete

ANY

google apps,

as i said do some reading from the above listed threads, if you were here it would take me 20 mins but trying to write it will take a while..................good luck, im always here (well mostly,gotta go out sometimes lol):D

IM 1.6 is a google app also, and you need this for market to work (the little app icons give an idea to what provider they belong to)

GREEN DROID=ANDROID

RED/BLUE SPEECH BUBBLE=GOOGLE

and some have either GOOGLE/SONY ERICSSON/ANDROID in the title,

hope this helps, just take it slow, if you need keep your computer running with the XDA THREADS SHOWING for reference:D

I rooted my phone using the one click root then flashed the clockwork recovery but every time I reboot into recovery it comes up with samsung recovery first them I have to reinstall packages every time. I thought after the first time I wouldn't have to do that every time. I then proceeded to try and do the JAC kernel and it soft bricked my phone. Any ideas anyone.
[Vibrant General] kdennie1334:
Ok well I got everything to go right the second time but now when I try to run quadrant standard it freezes on I/O database writes 3 of 4
[Vibrant General] RaindropBebop:
"Everything right the second time" as in you reflashed clockwork? If you haven't, give that a try. I personally don't like using clockwork just because of how buggy it is. I wish AmonRa would make a recovery for samsung devices :(.
[Vibrant General] ELFungi:
Hung for how long? That part usually takes up to a minute or so if you're running a stock ROM without a lag fix. It's perfectly normal as long as its not hanging for like say, 5 minutes and your phone freezes.
[Vibrant General] brandnewsimmy:
Yeah I sometimes have troubles with Clockwork too. I found if you boot into recovery direct from Rom Manager it works better, although it can get annoying.

As for the hanging, that is normal I think mine hangs on that 3 of 4 for quite a while, probably like 5+ minutes.
[Vibrant General] hockeyrcks9901:
Without the lag fix, the I/O test takes a long long time. That's the reason the lag fix works so well...it greatly increases the I/O speed of our phones.
[Vibrant General] kdennie1334:
Hung for a infinite period of time until i cancel the process. And Reflashed back to orignal and then flashed clockwork again and all is working well except for the quadrant standard after i did the jac kernel. it takes like 5 secs or more from when i press the on button for the unlock to come up and then seems more laggy after the kernel. i have reflashed once but still slow and most apps freeze.
[Vibrant General] kdennie1334:
i let it sit for a while and after 5 minutes it finished with a score of 1741. Yet it seems slower then before

So plz advise me, is there any posibility to sync SGS with outlook via bt and automaticly?

I dont want much, i just want to sync contacs, notes and calendar. I DONT want to use g-services they are just joke.

i want to sync my sgs with my outlook localy, via bt and usb everytime i connect phone to pc, just like G autosync.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
some people are PARANOID about their privacy

same PARANOID people that will not allow BlackBerry to run in USA & Soudi Arabia, because their Security Service CAN NOT HACK the encryption used by Black Berry (although USA kinda of drop this issue, as they setup their own BBserver for the security services to tap into it)

Yay! for Black Berry

it's just a shame their phones are not up to my standards, i like the BB email service though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:

personally i've been swaying away anyone using Outlook to use something else

Outlook is the worse program ever by Microsoft

Go use Lotus Notes instead if you want a real software that works and that is productive

For personal use i prefer Thunderbird, it's simply perfect
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mike.sw:
It's not all about security.

There are some simplicity issues here as well.

Syncing to Google servers, then syncing back to Outlook is way more complicated then just syncing to Outlook in the first place. What if he got no WIFI around, what if he got no APN or data plan is pricy as hell?

Simple syncing to Outlook is too much to ask for?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roy Ngan:
dude, sync over internet, hock up with your Exchange Server directly. Nothing to do with G-service.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brunes:
Agreed. But add your account in the Android Email app, avoid the Samsung "social hub", it is crap. I don't know why these manufacturers try to re-invent stuff already built into Android.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aluz1:
i dont have any exchange server at least for my own private/business usage, u just use outlook cos i em used to it, i need quick and responsible "office" boundle

i connect my mail account to my mail server BUT idont have exchange...

so how do i sync contacts and calendars?...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Exactly what I was going to suggest..

Although, one question you must also ask yourself, is how much do you trust your email provider. Remember, Google basically told China to go f* themselves. Many email server owners wont be willing to do the same.

You should also ensure you are using SSL connections to your email servers (most people don't). Because if you don't use SSL on your computer to communicate with your email server, the entire process is pointless, because they are more likely to read the traffic at your ISP.

You must also ensure that you are enforcing SSL in your browser properly (disallow HTTP connections from HTTPS), use plugins to always try to connect to SSL sites first, and checking that passwords entered are entered in HTTPS. Otherwise, you are wasting your time completely..

For all of thouse who are searching in the dark

here it is

<http://www.markspace.com/>

this is what you want if you want to sync android phone localy

it can sync via bt or wifi!

i cant get the wifi working but bt syncs perfectly, beside contacts, calendar, notes it syncs data, music, sms, etc...

it can sync automaticly, manualy, etc etc etc

great pice of sw, just downolad client for the phone, then notes app, calendar app, and pc/mac sw

14day trial

full version cost about 40usd, what isint cheap for me(in czech republic) but it worth it,

i me strongly recommend to everyone who dont want to sync via google

now i just need root my SGS and uninstall unusefoul google and samsung apps...
