Has anyone managed to flash/root a UK orange I5801 without any problems?

I've just tried BackfireNL's method but when the phone reboots I see the warning triangle and the phone reboots to factory settings :mad:

Also, again on Orange UK I'm unable to get Octy's GPS app from the market... Has anyone else had this problem?

Cheers.

Upgrading questions

Hi, I tried to upgrade my I5800 XXJG3 to I5800XWJH2, followed the tutorial, but nothing happened!

-Do I need to ROOT in order to upgrade?

-The phone must be Turnned On or Off?

-Do I have to press any Key combination to start the upgrade?

Thanks
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] GavinZac:
i5801:

Rooted phone. Worked fine.

Installed FasterFixv92.apk. Worked fine.

Changed NTP server to asia.pool.ntp.org. Worked fine.

Rebooted. Worked fine, settings stuck fine.

Started GPS Status: GPS fails to pick up any satellites at all. Previously it saw them but didnt get a fix.

Started gpssetup2, GPS test. No satellites, at all.

Tried also with local th.pool.ntp.org. Same result.

Using the Asian ntp server in Asia is worse than using North American one? :(

edit: also, Octy's app seems to have no effect. What is it supposed to do? What settings does it change?

edit 2: FasterFixv92.apk writes a gps.conf file with the selected NTP server but doesnt include a SUPL provider.

same here i5801 unbranded asian firmware
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] egilrs:
Thank you for this..

I picked up my I5800 a few days ago, and must say I'm very pleased with this device so far.

The only thing I can put my finger on is a bit slow CPU and low res. - except for those cons this is a sweet device considering the price!

Managed to root my device just fine. Had a problem after updating my firmware using Samsung Kies - Internal Storage said 0.00KB .. Which makes it impossible to install apps from market ..

Searching through samdroid forums I found the solution:

Start the phone in Download Mode or Upload Mode -(Turn off phone, Press Volume down, Menu button and Power Button - connect USB.

Using Odin with settings mentioned in original post - select Debug ONLY and reflash the phone.

Worked on my device, allthough i got German language due to the rom ;)

After boot the internal storage seemed normal.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] GavinZac:
Rooting the phone also seems to have given me the 'feature' of tethering, not that I asked for it, and now I cannot mount my phone as a mass storage device for accessing the SD card. (Ubuntu 10.04)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] BackfireNL:
Did you use my method? Because that only adds the SU binary, Superuser.apk and Busybox to your phone!.. maybe it was allready there?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] GavinZac:
I used the update from girishmadas' post credited to you. Perhaps it's Ubuntu's fault, I will ttomorrow try the phone with

1. a different ubuntu PC

2. a windows PC

to see if I can restore normality.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Phonicle:
Orange have disabled recovery mode so you can't root the phone without flashing it first to remove the branded firmware. Same problem regarding the GPS app, not sure if that's with us being in the UK?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] lilica:
Hi octy...im having the same problem, after rooting i´ll go su and get not permitted...how you figure that out? Please help...what is super user? Thanks
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] zn1p:
I had same problem but then I factory restored phone everything was ok.

So ap2sd forks fine to me.

Still no flash neither on browser or opening directly from sd card.

Root works,rooted with SuperOneClick.

But have one problem dont know why but phone dont send or recive packedes from 3g,hdps... maybe mac changed or IM will check it latter.

And firstly then cache and phone wasnt factory reseted, froyo was really lagy and crashy for me.

p.s. does somebody know how to check mac adress? and ip?

When I click on Wifi button it does not respont at all, and in the settings->wireless and network->Wifi settings->Wifi under Wifi it shows "Error", when clicking on this Wifi option it corrects the error. That's the one bug I can see for now :-s

And the gps connectivity sucks as usual :(
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] useasdf_4444:
After 3 attempts I'm on 2.2 as well (froyo at last hurraaaay :P)

First two attempts ended up on samsung logo and i5800 logo (first it got me into the recovery menu->reboot and stuck on samsung logo...second got me into recovery menu->delete cache->reboot and stuck on i5800 logo)

Long story short, when it got me into the recovery menu I had to delete data not cache (third option if I remember correctly) and then reset and it got me into the OS smoothly...

Feels much faster than 2.1 for sure and had no problems so far though I didn't test it for long tried it for like 15 minutes (wifi works ok, bluetooth works ok, messaging works ok, calls with proximity sensor works ok that's how far my testing went :P)

Haven't tried rooting or installing apps yet, will let you know when I do ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] czat:
Octy, if you are reading this, please make your "gps booster" froyo compatible as I can't even find it in the market anymore :(

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] watanabe:
Wifi is quite stable for me. It's that sometime it gets disconnected when the phone goes to standy by mode. I've set the wifi sleep policy to none by the way.

I'm still unable to connect to any, but hey, I can't event get a locked on in various 2.1 FW.

I got that same error as you do. A small glitch, but a bit annoying because I often switch my wifi on and off.

Btw, a stupid question, how to exactly move an app to SD card? I don't see any option, or perhaps I'm missing something?

I found another bug in the SMS. When you tap on a conversation, the recipient's name is changed into someone else's. It apperas fine when you're on the list view.

I still have the same problem... After 2x factory reset :(

Apps2SD works great, In Application (management) you can choose "move to SD-card" for some apps.

I had an peaty fast GPSfix :D I changed some settings:

Dail: *#*#3214789650#*#* --> settings --> Parameter Settings --> SSL --> I disabled it and changed it to Google Server. After that I changed Start mode to "Cold Start" and restarted the device.

Again dialed *#*#3214789650#*#* --> Commands --> Get positions, and wait 30 sec for an fix.

Back to settings --> Parameter Settings --> Start mode --> and changed it back to Hot Start. Restart device again.

After this I have prety fast GPS fix until now.

But now I still have the SMS problem! Please help!! I get the this error message:

"Sorry! The application Messages (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close"

Got some problems on my first firmware update.

Having some trouble letting odin getting ports, i have found it working when i turn on phone.

Odin seems to update, on the phone screen i can see a diskette with "uploading, do not turn off".

Then it reboot, and go in recovery mode, but with :

"wiping cache : failed"

then it stucks.

But it stucks with an animation with an arrow going out of a box pointing the greend android, with a bar that never fulls.

Exact procedure to FLASH Froyo (or any Firmware)

Here is the step-by-step guide to Flashing any firmware including Froyo.

1. Prepare ODIN.

Mark "One package", "Protect OPS" and "Reboot".

Select OPS from your firmware in its section (first one on right side).

Select TAR package in the last section of right side.

2. Hard-reset your phone by typing *2767*3855# (IT WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA INCL. CONTACTS, MESSAGES, SETTINGS).

3. After phone restarts wait for few minutes and then again Switch it off. Remove SIM card and SDcard for safety.

4. Now, in off mode itself, press Vol down+Centre key(Home)+Power on.

5. You will be in Download mode. Connect USB cable to phone. At this point your phone should be detected and shown as some COM port.

6. Click START in ODIN.

7. Select "Reboot system" by pressing central key (ONLY FOR FROYO as yet)

8. Wait till ODIN says PASS in left first box.

9. Unplug phone from USB cable.

10. Don't try to do anything for next 5 minutes to the phone. Let it load all the services, etc. completely.

11. Hard-reset again.

12. After phone restarts, ENJOY :)

Hope it helps !

* If you want to preserve your data then skip step 2 & 11 although it is not recommended.

What HSPA bands are you on?

I'm trying to find out if people with 850/1900 are getting this 3g problem.

Basically if I upgrade and 3G isn't working, I can't use my phone. Period.

My provider only has 3g/hspa frequencies that it uses..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] abhi0n0nakul:
i have done the flashing in upload mode(power+vol up+home)...

and no pass command seen...

and after flashing then in recovery cache and wipe showed failed...

then i manually did wipe cache and reset from recovery...

is it fine or i have to do it again?????

in download mode??
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rex4u:
Thanks Moamo :)

Its a very useful command.

Guys, as far as possible don't move Widgets or apps with widgets to SD card or any other app which has consistent data read-write. It may decrease efficiency of your card like Handcent, Chomp, Launcher Pro, ADW, etc.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rex4u:
@nakul,

I will suggest you to do it again in the proper way. A fresh and clean install.

Report back your experiences.

Good Luck !

Guys,

Looks like i tried to be extra cool and went ahead to burn the froyo along with the modem.bin file from another rom.. since gps was not working so well.. now the fon is dead like a rat..

wont respond or anything... :eek:

Hopefully samsung takes the bait that it went dead by itself.. :(

Fixed by flashing "Fixed I5800XXJI2 Firmware (no memory problems)", extracting and adding the ji2 datafs.rfs as http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8263762&postcount=166, and flashing again.

It puts some time but it flashed successfully.

Nice additions in froyo, the disable 3g, the "use phone as a wifi router" and many more.

Got no real issue btw, just some wifi errors when enabling/disabling by notification bar.

Yesterday i bought a Samsung I5800 With Android 2.1

It has a internal memory with ONLY 256Mb so i bought aslo a sd with 8GB and i thought to install Android 2.2.

Is right that ( with android 2.2) i can install app. on the external Sd?

Do u think that is good for me install the 2.2 ?

But reading all the post in the thread i see that there are lots of problems or not ???

After reading a lot in this awesome forum, i decided to flash my gt-i5800 to froyo. I got the same error as Vodkuccio and followed his description and my phone got stuck while downloading the datafs.rfs file. After waiting 10 minutes, i decided to restart it (reconnect the battery).

This was so far the biggest mistake i've done to my phone!

I cannot turn it on anymore. Just a black screen. No chance to start it normally or in recovery/download mode and of course no connection to the pc.

so what do you suggest to do? send it to the samsung service ? Sell it at ebay as defect? or is there any possibility to rescue it by myself?

thanks in advance for your help!

if you update this.....

then afterwards if official comes thru kies..

Norwegian keyboard

The flash went successfull. Had some problems with the mms process crashing, but after a hard reset that was solved.

Even before and after the hard reset I have not manages to find the norwegian keyboard with the letters æ ø å and a norwegian dictionary for swype...

Any tips? there are other options than swype, but i don't want to go back to tapping each button again and I have to pay for Slideit..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Vodkuccio:
I had tried flashing with the "as is" firmware, and got stuck on 5800 blank screen or recovery mode.

Then , after downgrading to an older firmware with datafs.rfs yet added, the one signed as "fixed memory" on first page, i've used izarc to add the datafs.rfs of an older firmware to the xxjp8 (i had tried using with winrar and failed) and got success.

You are probably right, but i had luck only with this way.

This is not a critic, this is still a beta firmware, and there are too many variables of succeding or not, but in my experience flashing like suggested almost brick phone, flashing my way goes right :confused:

Anyway waiting till the real froyo release should be the best choice.

BTW froyo is actually working well, got no messaging error.

Instead sometimes the wifi loose signal and get errors, the notification bar shows it grey, and I can't enable or disable it in the bar, 50% of the times i can get back it in the settings menu, the other 50% even in the settings wifi is signed like "error", and I should restart the phone.

In the end i won't suggest anyone to follow my experience, i'm just reporting what i've done and what i get.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Senintel:
Thx for testing! It must be a firmware problem then. I thought that something maybe went wrong at flashing, but if u have the same problem, it must be a bug in the firmware. I installed an alternative player for now until a new firmware comes out and fixes it.
