As I said, that's exactly what I've been doing ...

1. I go to "link."

2. I click on the picture and choose the Google picture.

3. The picture changes to the Google picture.

4. A couple of minutes (or sometimes a couple of hours) later, the picture changes itself back to the Facebook picture.

Your Code is:

The Code is below. Note that it displays two times. You only need to enter it once. To enter this code shut your phone off and put in the SIM card. It should ask for unlock code. Be careful when typing it because you only have one chance. This version of the Galaxy S Unlocker was based heavily off of the code written by Bowsa2511. This version was created by NBS11.

strings: can't open file: ./nv_data.bin (No such file or directory)

Hey guys I love the site its helped me root and ROM my CDMA Hero.

I have encountered a small large problem though.

I rooted my hero and decided to try out a custom ROM I chose Darch Legend. Well I wiped, flashed and it worked. I tried to go back to stock . In the process i lost root access. Then i tried formating the sd card. didnt work.

My question is can i save my phone, if so how? I tried re-rooting and that didnt work. I was thinking about using the the RUU updater but i decided to ask before i screw up my phone more.

Any help is greatly apperciated. Thank you.

Here are the instructions i used to root my phone. The Updater is in the second post.

...Well i guess im not allowed to post a link but it was regaw_leinad's guide to rooting CDMA HERO

After trying a few things i can get to the clockwork recovery screen. Any suggestions? Should i just wipe and Flash a new Rom?
[Captivate General] distortedloop:
i9000 version owner here. I was wondering if anyone can confirm that iPhone-compatible headphones, such as Etymotics HF2 or Apple's own In Ear headphones (or even standard iPhone headphones) work or don't work properly on the Captivate.

They do not work properly on the i9000 version of the Galaxy S because he mic and ground in the t/r/r/s jack configuration are crossed.

I understand this to just be standard difference in the way Apple and HTC implement the 3.5mm jack configuration vs Samsung and Nokia, but I thought their might be a chance that it's an international vs US configuration thing with the i9000 vs the Captivate or the Vibrant.

Has anyone tried iPhone compatible headphones with their Captivate?

By compatibility, I mean all features work - mic, sound at proper volume, click to answer. I was able to wire an adapter for my HF2s to the i9000 by crossing the mic/ground, but it would be nice to know US model of the phones do or don't need such modifications to use 3rd party headsets.

Any one?

Also, if you've found/used a non-homemade adapter, could you recommend one that works. They seem few and far between as identified in our thread re: this on the i9000 forums. More info here.

Thanks.
[Captivate General] mesasone:
Yes, they work. I have a pair of UE TF10vi that I use, can play/pause with the click on the button - haven't tested answering a call with it, but know that the mic works as well.
[Captivate General] distortedloop:
That's good to know. Those are specifically advertised as iPhone and Blackberry compatible, and on the i9000 if you click to pause, you actually boost the volume on the headphones to what you'd expect. Some guys were even taping their mic buttons closed to get proper sound.

This confirms my suspicion that the hardware wiring is different on the i9000 international SGS than the US marketed Captivate. Probably safe to assume the same is true on the Vibrant. Disappointing for me that I have the i9000 in that regard - the stock headphones just don't do it for me.

On a side note, those UE TF10s sound fantastic - not sure I have the ears to appreciate them, though.

Thanks.
[Captivate General] wuxingwarrior3:
I've been using the headphones that came with the iphone 3g since day 1 without a problem.
[Captivate General] furstrated:
iphone wired doesnt work on my galaxy s so i made an adaptor from a cut off nokia ad-57 and some generic female 3.5mm 4pole and crossed the mic and ground

for those who cba to diy one this may do it http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r3m-r2f.htm its an iphone to generic headphone adaptor advertised, but a little expensive at 18$.
[HD2 General] aptness leadership:
I was using my hd2 while charging, and I noticed it felt pretty hot. I really didnt think much of it because it gets warm pretty often when charging, especially if I am watching a movie or browsing forums while its plugged in. Later I noticed that the screen was not responding. I took the rubber skin off the back and notice some rust-colored spot on the inside of the skin, and on the handset. It was on the back right above the usb port. It actually appears to have burned from inside the handset. I cleared the storage, but it is still unresponsive. I called Tmo customer support and they said it it "unheard of . The guy told me it might be the wall charger, but they will be sending a new unit to my home, and a box to send the old one back. I asked about a new charger, since that could be the problem. He said no, that first they would just send the hd2 itself and if this happens again, they would try a new charger. He also informed me that if I did not send the old phone back within a certain amount of days. they would be charging me $400 U.S. , because that is the actual cost. I would think they would rather send the new charger to guarantee that this doesn't cost another $400. but thats just me. Anyway, anyone else have this issue or something similar?
[HD2 General] juggs:
Sounds like a faulty unit. I haven't heard/read of anyone having such a problem.
[HD2 General] aptness leadership:
Update!

The replacement phone came today. I found it outside my house, on the ground when I got home from work. It was in an envelope inside a small plain white box.

Boy, they don't kid around. It was literally "Just the Phone". No sd card, no battery, not even a back cover. It is identical to the one I already have, with one exception. Inside the back there is usually a small red button which resets the device, this one had a small, yellow button.
[HD2 General] Deleted member 331338:
Mine's got a yellow button as well. I'm glad they took care of you though. Are you inside or outside of the 30 day window after activation/renewal?
[HD2 General] aptness leadership:
Update!

Yes, I purchased the original on release. I gave back my TP2 (still inside 14 days) and they gave me hd2 and $75. The screen on the replacement seems to be more responsive and It came with a lockscreen wallpaper not on the original.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
I have seen this happen one other time on these forums. It has happened before.
[HD2 General] davewang:
I got same problem too. The only thing that I can come up with is the overheating of the cpu. I wanna take phone out a part to actually see what's going on inside there. Need a special tool or something. The screw looks weird to me.
[HD2 General] freeincolorado:
It is probably a tiny, little Torx screw. Is it kind of star shaped?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Somewhere on the site here (can be found elsewhere on the web too) is a disassembly guide for the HD2 with lots of pictures that shows what's inside the phone and where.

Baseband Version: 2.05.00.06.10

Build Number: 1.47.651.1

PRI Version: 1:40_003

PRL Version: 60667

Issue:

I've followed Toastcfh's instructions to root in the past, and when I copy PC36IMG to the sdcard and go into recovery I get: Main main version is older.

I did some searching and saw most of the people that were getting that were on 2.2, but not me, I'm still on 2.1

I then saw a post to try unrevoked3 for the 'step one' part. When I tried to begin toastcfh's step 2 after unrevoked3 said 'done' the adb shell cat commands said 'cannot create /data/flash_image: permission denied'

I tried to reboot and run PC36IMG again, and got the same 'main version is older' error.

I don't know a whole lot about the technical programming side, but I have searched and can't find a resolution.

Please...help!

Or you could turn off the automatic update check. Also, there are plenty of threads talking about how to get past the Main Version error.

The main version older problem resides in eng-PC36IMG.ZIP from my experience. Try whitslacks "How to Start Over" method or SteelH's Root Guide. Once you get a good eng-PC36IMG.ZIP, you're home free.

I don't know personally, but I have read that the Unrevoked3 + Unrevoked Forever works fine.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] creflodollar:
hi.

okay so this is installing ubuntu into a chrooted environment and vnc'ing to it.

does anyone know if it is possible to blow away android and install pure debian on it? does anyone know of a hardware list on the sbc in this thing and what sort of support one might need to hack in to get a such a thing to work?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] .kiz:
I will apologise now for the delay in image upload, the image file is 1gb and im having trouble finding a place to upload it.

In terms of installing a clean debian would need more than just a straightforward port. You would be looking at making an environment which supports the arm architecture, porting all of the drivers over, creating an option to support telephony, messages and gps too. If you wanted a debian environment it would probably be best to either run it like how the n900 does or getting a distro of it which is specifically made towards mobiles and modifying it.

Although you have an extremely good point there! Tell you what, once ive got everything running on here i will have a look and see what i can do in terms of atleast getting a debian shell running or a limo version
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fslateef:
Just create zip/tar-ball of img file and it will become around 300MB. Then you can upload it on multiupload (or megaupload/rapidshare/mediafire).

I just created that image too and will be testing on my Galaxy S soon, so if its working for me then I will upload my image too.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ArminC:
Try creating a second loop device with: mknod /dev/loop2 b 7 0
[Galaxy S I9000 General] .kiz:
im guessing because the image is corrupt, your unable to mount it.

I have just uploaded my bash script making it easier to mount each time.

bash script: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CEU6R5J4

Image file: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H55O5UEM

ensure you have made the directories explained in my first post.

pop the hsetup.sh file inside /sdcard/ubuntu (along with your image)

then fire up terminal emulator and type:

su

cd sdcard

cd ubuntu

sh hsetup.sh

This mounts everything for you and logs you into LXDE, all you need to do after is type in:

/etc/init.d/ssh start

vncserver

x11vnc -find

Then log in using androidVNC

i will attempt to upload the file to another location and i will test the image file to ensure its not a compression error

The only way I can get service back is if I reboot the phone. This has happened in the past on a different captivate. I have been through 4 phones so I dont think its the phone, instead its gotta be something I have installed.
