Hey there buddy.

I can see that you are really concerned about messing things up. But really, don't worry. It has some down falls, but flashing with Odin is might safe. And as was earlier recommended, you can try flashing to either JM6 or JM7. Both are very stable releases. Here are a couple of links, one for the JM6 and the other for JM7. Trust me when I say this, IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT..... :D

JM6: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765032

JM7: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770821

This is another link to a brilliant post by Darkstriker. This is a well thought of FAQ's. It will guide you properly. Follow instructions to the letter and you will be all right.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723596

It would also be a good idea to do a factory data reset after you are done flashing.

Take the plunge buddy. Be cool..... :cool:

Cheers....

Whoops.... Almost forgot. This is a link provided by Darkstriker in his FAQ. This is a faster website to download from. Let me give you direct links to the JM6 and the JM7 and the Odin and PIT files.

JM6

JM7

Odin And PIT File: https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galax...Odin & Bootloader(.PIT)/Old/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU

You will need both the files listed on the linked page (Odin and PIT File)

Plus you will also need the CSC files. Choose the correct one from the link below after finding the relevant info from the JM6 and JM7 links. If still in doubt, ask away.

CSC: https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galax...C fo XWJM6, XFJM6 and XWJM7/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU

it seems that i gave you something to work on. good, i will use one of these but i am not clear about the pda csc modem things. can someone tell me what i need to do at this step? i dont understand and i am thinkin about the apn settings... i hope i will get them. i dont think i longer have questions. thanks all!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skiddhard:
No problem. Will try and walk you through this.

After you have downloaded either of the JM6 or the JM7, and you have extracted the files, you will see the PDA and the modem files. You will also have to download the relevant CSC file that is specific to your region. Also, make sure that Odin and the PIT files have been downloaded.

Let me give you simple steps to work your way through.

1. Make sure Samsung Kies is NOT RUNNING including in the notification area.

2. Disconnect your phone and switch it off.

3. Start Odin

4. Make sure the three options, "Re-Partition", "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are TICKED

5. Click on the "PIT" button and select the "s1_odin_20100512" file you downloaded.

6. Put your phone into download mode by using the key combination: POWER DOWN + HOME KEY + POWER KEY. When you see the yellow triangle, release all buttons.

7. Connect your phone and wait for the drivers to get installed.

8. Click on the "Start" button and wait for the process to finish. This will be indicated by the words "PASS" with a green background. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE TILL YOU SEE THE WORDS "PASS"

9. Remove the battery and put the phone into download mode again. (Step 6)

10. In Odin, click the "Reset" button and UNCHECK the "Re-Partition" option and keep the remaining two options CHECKED.

11. Click the "PDA" button and select the file starting with "CODE"

12. Click the "PHONE" button and select the file starting with "MODEM"

13. Click the "CSC" button and select the CSC file which you have chosen. (NOTE: You will have to extract the file from the CSC package you have downloaded and not the actual archive)

14. Connect the phone

15. Click on the "START" button and wait till Odin finishes its process. Again, DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE TILL ODIN DISPLAYS THE "PASS" MESSAGE!!!!

16. If you are using Multi CSC, follow the instructions from any of the posts for JM6 and JM7: "When using *Multi CSC* you need to type *#272*????# after the flash (in dialer). ???? being the current time displayed by phone. For example if the time is currently 6.25pm you need to type *#272*0625#. Then select the desired CSC version from the list and press "Install"."

You should be fine once these steps are done. They might seem very difficult at first glance, but they really aren't. If you still feel concerned about the process, I would suggest reading the entire post again just to familiarize yourself with the process. I was trembling the first time I did this and it turned out perfectly all right in the end. I am sure it will be the same for you. ;)

Cheers....

thanks for the flashing guide for dummies. I think that it is the most complete guide for noobs. thanks again, i will tell you when i am done but now the computer annoys me so i need to wait...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skiddhard:
Hey, someone helped me out once too eh?? ;)

Dont worry. Get comfortable with the process and you will be good to go. Its nighty night for me unfortunately. But I am sure you wont need me any further on this now. ;)

take your time doing it, and you will do it right.

Cheers....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] messerschmidtastropuf38:
Hello again community. I am writing now from my SGS. Wonder how? (I did not the reflash) I don't know, the phone just booted up this morning. I have no idea how but now I will try to not reboot my phone. I think the logo is broken and the factory reset worked.

I still have the MCR app, but the Quadrant scores around 870, so I am no longer rooted.

Thanks all, I surely will need your help sometime... I consider the rooting now not so scary because I understanded that I can not break my phone completely. I will update to Froyo when it will be official and I hope the problem is not any longer in my phone.

Cheers!

Edit: I found a folder in the internal sdcard named ase that has 2 subfolders. In «resources» folder there are 2 files: playlogos1 which is 0 kilos large and userinit.sh, also with 0 kilos. If I am right this is the reason which stopped my phone to boot. What to do with them?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrewluecke:
Relax bro.. You'll live longer
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] messerschmidtastropuf38:
So I am finally in front of my PC, but I don't know if when I will reboot my phone it will work. I have the superuser/MCR and the scripts still in my phone and I don't know what to do. I don't really understand why the playlogo1 and userinit.sh files have 0 kB and they are on my sdcard. I think they have something to do with this.That's why I am afraid of rebooting it... but sometime I will need it and I hope I will not have the problem. Also, if I will reflash my phone with JM6 or JM7, which lag fix do you recommend for me? (The phone sometimes really annoys me)

Thanks in advance...!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skiddhard:
Hey buddy. Sorry for the late reply. Was caught up with stuff.

Anyway, to answer your concerns.

1. Your phone will boot up fine after you are done flashing through Odin.

2. The root and the MCR scripts will be erased after you flash.

3. If you have some unwanted stuff on the SD Card, you might consider taking a backup of everything you really need of the SD Card and format it. That way, with the new firmware, you will also have a clean SD Card.

4. If you are skeptical about what would work fine (with regards to a lag fix), let me add my 2 cents here and tell you that I personally am on the JM6 and I do not need a lagfix. But then thats just my experience. You might need it or not. If you still feel the need for a lagfix, let me also recommend RyanZa's One Click Lag Fix which is available in the market. Simple graphical method of applying the lagfix and gives good performance too.

It seems Samsung has been working on the lag issues behind the scenes and every subsequent firmware released has lesser of the lags from the previous builds. Not that i have used every single release, but this is what i have been reading from user's posts. In the same breath, I would like to suggest using the JM7 build considering it is the latest of the lot thus far. And stay away from the 2.2 leaked builds. I dont think you would want that for a daily phone. ;)

Oh, almost forgot, you might also consider taking a backup of the contacts and the messages. My first time round with flashing was without a backup of those. :eek:

Let me know how things go with the flashing..... :)

Cheers....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] messerschmidtastropuf38:
I don't understand what I am gonna choose from the CSC list. What is the differences between files and what do you recommend me to pick?

Also, my phone works now but somehow I think some features are pretty broken(Swype seems like it shouldn't be on the phone - can't access it nor in setting neither as input method). This scarries me a little and I think the reflash is good.

A little offtopic, but when the official 2.2 Froyo will be released, will I need to flash it via Kies or it only updates some file etc?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] messerschmidtastropuf38:
Anyone? I don't know!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skiddhard:
Hey buddy. I've been mighty busy lately. Apologies for the late reply. For the moment, let me tell you what I understand of the CSC files. Will post more info later in the evening, perhaps real late in the evening.

Any senior member may correct me if I am wrong on this. From what I read and thus understand is that, usually just about any CSC file will do the job. They primarily contain APN setting specific to an operator. If you choose the wrong CSC file, worst case scenario is that you will have to manually add the APN settings for your 3g / GPRS values. Also, from my personal experience, I once chose the Singtel version which mostly just changed the start-up logo and added the default wallpaper. That's about all I really noticed. It does not affect any of the other phone functionality.

Again, if I am wrong, a senior member, please correct me. Even I always wondered what the CSC file really does..... ;)

For the record, I am on JM7 and chose a random option from the Asian CSC (forgot which one I chose really.... :eek:)

Cheers....

Hi,

I am new to android and wanted to know of there are any sites, resources and tutorials to get started with developing android apps. I have downloaded all the tools and have played around with the samples and created my hello world app.

I have no previous experience with Java or programming apart from a little Qbasic and html knowledge but I am very technical and would love to start learning.

Also anyone who has some advice about how long it might take to become comfortable with Android would be helpful.

Any help much appreciated
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Since you have no java experience, might want to try signing up for access to Google App Inventor to start with.

In the meantime, your best bet is to buy a book on general java programming, since most Android development books assume a basic knowledge of Java.

Dave

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omricn:
Hi everybody :)

first of all i want to say TNX to all the wonderful people here, who make my HD2 experience so much better :)

i have a good question which i bet other HD2 owners are struggling with:

i keep my mp3 files stored on my SD card.

Q: i can't seem to find a way to set a certain picture to a certain song in the music player (instead of the default picture of the note icon).

what i'v tried up until now:

- i went to My Device\MUSIC and saw the way the original (crappy) song is set with its own picture, and tried to set my mp3 file the same way with it's own picture, but - no luck, still the annoying note icon..

so.. i give up for now, hopefully someone knows the answer to my question here :)

thanks allot guys ;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omricn:
SORTED! tnx to Wilco!

Wilco you are the man :D

i didn't find a way to delete the media library database from the phone, the solution presented in the thread is meant to work with another HTC device which has different settings, BUT - the issue was the same -

in order to show a photo instead of the default note icon in the music player htc devices require an image called "folder.jpg" located in every folder which contains mp3's, this is the picture which will be shown as the album picture. so in order to show a different picture for every album the albums must be in different folders.

there is a certain BUG which occures when there is no folder.jpg file in the folder containing the mp3 file and you try to add it later, the device has a DB that records every folder you create and it doesn't remember a folder.jpg file in that particular folder so it will not show a picture even if you add one, i still havn't figured out way to clean that DB, anyway, by simply putting a folder.jpg with your choice of image and

changing the folder's name

to another one, the device will recognize this as a brand new folder and tada! album picture is presented :)

hope we helped you guys!

thanks!!

Hi All,

Im running stock JF3 software with Ryan ZAs one click lag fix. Generally pleased with SGS, but one thing has been getting worse and that is the speed of response for the phone and sms apps. The lag here is still terrible and thats a problem given that they are the most used functions of the device!

When the phone rings, the number comes up but not the name (even though its stored correctly). When opening SMS app or call log it often takes ages to update the numbers to names, add contact images etc.

Does anyone have an idea as to why this is happening? Its most irritating and i miss calls often as a result.

Cheers
