[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Mr.Gamer:
Mmh.. really i've read a lot of this thread, but can't really solve any of my troubles...

This is my first android phone, and i've basic/medium knownledge of unix stuff ;)

First thing i've done:

update my galaxy 3 to - "Fixed I5800XXJI2 Firmware (no memory problems)"

And i'm happy about it, no trash applications flooding my phone mem!

Then i've tried both "SGS Eclair Easy Rooting" and the "One Click Root/UnRoot I9000 (Eclair and Froyo) Mac and PC"

Basically, they both install Superuser application, and put files in /system/xbin.

"One Click Root/UnRoot I9000: just puts there a non-working busybox (if i exec it i just get a segfault!!!!)

"SGS Eclair Easy Rooting": Intead puts the right files there

$ ls -l /system/xbin
ls -l /system/xbin
-rwsr-sr-x root system 5504 2010-09-17 20:03 dreboot
-rwxr-xr-x root shell 9696 2010-09-17 20:03 ipctool
-rwxrwxrwx root root 1933080 2008-08-01 14:00 busybox
-rwsr-sr-x root root 26264 2008-08-01 14:00 su

Fact is, if i try to do "/system/xbin/su -" i just get permission denied, so i can't set the SUID to busybox! And in general, i CANT get superuser permissions in shell!

I'm surely near the solution, and i think this issue affects everyone that used this firmware.. so please if you have help, share ;-)

edit:

If i try using Busybox installer from Marketplace, the app says it correctly gets Superuser permissions but trying to install the newest busybox fails cause the "nand is not unlocked or we were unable to remount", still he creates a ton of useless symlinks in the installation dir :-S

So superuser works, just can't get it in the shell

Hi all, from NA region here. About the new firmware. I had to first install JI4 as a "One Package" in Odin. Once it was flashed, I reflashed the new firmware this time only using the "Boot" option for JK1. Working fine. About to test GPS now.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] divinesahil:
update for new firmware

Samsung locked down gps fixed for latest firmware dam hate it
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jagatic:
Tried to upgrade the firmware with kies and it halted by itself. I had to disconnect the phone and now I have an I5800 with shows only a black screen with the Samsung GT-I5800 logo (doesn't boot android).

Does anyone know if there is any way to flash a firmware in this case so that it will work again?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Mr.Gamer:
that should be the bootloader, use Odin as shown on the first post of the thread!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rex4u:
I had to manually insert datafs.rfs into tar package to get internal storage in JK1 :(

Infact I am surprised by the different behaviour of this firmware on different devices.

Btw, which was your previous version ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rex4u:
@sahil and everyone else,

I did not find anything significant in this firmware except some updated apps, which you can anyways update from Market like Maps.

Battery life is still same.

Messaging still lags(with nearly 6500 messages so lag may vary)

Dialer and Contacts take little time to load still.

Testing further and will keep updated.

An important advice from experience is that ALWAYS HARD-RESET BEFORE AND AFTER FLASHING A NEW FIRMWARE.

Feel free to ask anything.....

Be safe !
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Mr.Gamer:
seriously, thanks. After an hard reset now su works like a charm...

Just one question i've unanswered, where does the RATC puts the modified files ?

PS: anyone knows if it's possible to update swype on those i5800?

unroot problem

Hello! After rooting i can´t unroot my phone, when i try to appy the update.zip in recovery mode i get this error:

¨

--Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(Status 0)

Installacion aborted.¨

Besides that i can´t connect my phone to the PC, when i plug the usb it only charges... The pc detects my phone, i have reinstalled drivers, samsung kies, updated it, etc. so i´m guessing the problem is the phone, something must have happened at rooting.

I know that no one has the obligation to help just because i posted this...

but I really need help guys! So, if any of you guys has any clue please don´t ignore and post reply.

Thx.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] princegary:
Sounds like its stuck in modem mode. Have a read through the thread as it has been covered a few times (sorry I can't remember what to dial to get to the menu)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] princegary:
Okay, dial *#7284#

In the modem section it will probably have usb selected. Select modem then re select usb and then exit.

Worked for my two phones.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] zapacitul:
It Worked!

It Worked! :D Finally, with your help i have managed to connect to my pc.

Thank you!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] zapacitul:
I have another question that might be a little offtopic, but i would really appreciate if someone could clarify this:

On my device, Samsung i5800 i have data connection enabled alaways, and i experience about 3-5 times a day network drops, and not only the data connection, but the whole network. In the notification area i get ¨No service¨ and it takes about 30 seconds to come back to normal. I even had to remove the pin code from my SIM card because sometimes when this happend it asked for my PIN code and i didn´t noticed, therefore coudn´t receive any calls. The story short...it´s ¨a bit¨ annoying. :D

Does anyone experience the same problem? It´s a software problem? A hardware Problem ( signal problem?)? Or It´s normal? :D

By the way I´m form Spain - Vodafone.

Thx in advance.

Sorry: first for waisting your time but for all the new readers I have to say everything is in firs post or in laters (some off things) , and if you have some doubts for some kind of things you`ll find all answers here, so before you post something, please try to search. So please do the search because 80% of problems were disscused before. And this forum must to progress not to stay in the moment with the quoestion:"will it be frozen yogurt,and when?" (froyo).
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pp63.1:
And what about punctuation, clarity, and spelling ? A junior member giving lessons but not able to write a few words correctly ;-)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pp63.1:
It has occured sometimes for my i5800, but not so often. Each time, I was in a place with no/bad network coverage. So I guess that when the network connection fails while the phone may be using it (background sync, or whatever), it leads to an error situation, and the system may auto-restart (thus asking you for the PIN code). And sometimes, the phone does not restart, it simply "waits" 30 seconds as you say to connect to the network again.

I don't think this is a malfunction... Just try to have a better network coverage for a few hours and see if it still drops the network.

Flashing new ROM into rooted Samsung i5800 (Galaxy 3)

Hi everyone.

I've managed to root phone using the first post in this thread (I cant link it cause my acc isnt verified yet => sorry) , but when i tried to upgrade it through Odin (in W7), I found out Odin doesnt recognize my phone.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Ano59:
Search "APN" in the Market, and find an APN on/off widget. It will alter your APN settings so they don't work, which will put you on 2G only. Turning 3G on will set APN values back to default, and you will get 3G back.

I'm also having trouble download your app, Octy. I can't find it in the market, even with a QR code, and when I try to install it from AppBrain with the Fast Web Installer the download fails. I'm from Portugal and have an unlocked but branded i5801 from Optimus (Belongs to Orange). I'm currently using a Vodafone PT SIM card.

Applied the I5800 firmware on my I5801 phone. The phone is unbranded and bought in India. I applied the I5800XWJH2 firmware from the site http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i5800.htm.

No problems with IMEI number and wifi MAC address etc , only thing is that after booting the language settings was different. Just need to change it English.

After that I rooted using the procedure mentioned in the thread. The rooting also works fine.

I think it is quite safe to apply I5800 firmware on I5801 mobile.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Silent3sniper:
Mh, I don't know but GPSopt doesn't seem to work always. If it works, you can start up and exit gmaps as long as you want, it'll find your position.

But wait an hour or two, and nothing will happen (like before). Only restarting the phone helps.

Hi rex4u.

Yesterday I upgrade firmware JK1. All ok at the beginning but in the afternoon I update one application from market and my phone was freeze. Then power on an hangs on the first logo.

I manually insert datafs.rfs from another firmware package to JK1, download throught ODIN, and my phone comes to live!

Thanks for the advise.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] slumpolo:
Latest firmware added to first post :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Mr.Gamer:
There is any relevant change, compared to the custom one posted in the thread ?

Disabling the APN only makes you unable to connect to the web, the phone will still make phonecalls/sms through 3G (that consumes more battery usually than simpler 2G networks)

Odin can flash your phone when it's on the bootloader (there is written Samsung GT-i5800 on the screen).

Reboot your phone or use "adb reboot bootloader" (adb is an exe found in any root zipfile in this thread and many others, and needs USB Debug Enabled), if you keep the phone connected to USB and Odin open, it will LIGHT UP when you can flash it.

Just be fast (you have 5-8 seconds) and click start, and flashing procedure will start ;-)

bootloader?

how to fix it?

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Pastorelli:

Guess you cannot unroot from the update.zip.

Instead i use Odin to reflash.

You have to manually insert datafs.rfs from another firmware package to JK1.tar.

I take it from WJH2.tar package.

Then ODIN and problem solved!
