**** **** i did the pit bit and everything else keeps failing but i can put the phone in download mode thats it! any tips????
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harryface:
okay got it to pick it up now. but its stuck on zImage

is this normal. how long does it take?

has it actually frozen??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harryface:
okay finally got it to work. but i still cant 1 click root it i still get the same message =[
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajbird:
lol I am getting the same thing in recovery and after reading your experience I am not keen to give it a try no matter how sluggish this thing is

has anyone who gets the

multicsc : can not acess to /system/csc/VOD/system/

message sucessfully rooted their phone and it still works?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajbird:
a few more details in case it helps

my handset is from uk vodafone

like many others my sgs has a bit of a lag problem.. the worst manifestation of this is when you cant even answer a call as the screen will not display the accept button within the time it takes to go to answer phone.

besides i would like to root the thing to play around more anyway

the OCLF seems to be the easiest way forward so I down load and start to follow instructions and fail at the 1st hurdle.

as i boot to recovery the following is shown

Manual mode

appling multi-csc

installing multi-csc

mps-dat value: VOD

copy_multi_carrier from: VOD

multicsc : can not acces to /system/csc/VOD/system

copy_common_data

when trying to apply sdcard:update.zip all seems to work well and I have a nija with a gun

however, when clicking on the superuser app there are no apps listed and clicking on log forces the app to close

any application that needs SU tells me that the phone is not rooted

I can find about 5 other refereces to this on Google so i guess it is not common

has anyone come across this... did anyone every get to root who experienced this?

is there another way to get root easily as clearly this does not work for me:(

You need to flash a new csc with multiple choices then in enter the keypad.

*#272*(put your imei no here)# then select a new csc if you are in the uk use xeu

Check this thread for more info..

There is also a thread about changing your product code back but it starts to get complicated, so be sure that you want to try this.. I had some network problems after messing with this stuff.. Which are fixed now.. but you should be prepared to do a bit of work to your phone if it has problems..

Also as you don't have root you can't take a back up of your /efs folder.. which stores all your product code and imei info.

Try z4root first to see if that will get you root.. it's in the market and is a pretty easy way to get root.

Hello, thanks for helping or giving me advice

My question is, i'm new to this whole smart phone modding and all. And i would like to seek some help and so i could be on my way to make my hero oh-that-much-more awesome. I just recently swapped carriers from sprint to metropcs, so i let my friend did the whole process for me.

Hi

Most of you know Cook Android

and most of you used it and enjoyed it.

Sadly, This kitchen can go down any moment.

As you know, cooking rom needs a good server. But the problem is that we don't have enough money to buy a server.

You can help us by making a small donation.

If you want to help us, open http://cookandroid.com/ and press ChipIn.

Thanks everybody.​
[Desire General] shararti:
Remember that you donate by pressing the "ChipIn" button, it's very important.
[Desire General] jayshah:
I've helped l1nuxfre4k with some of his server issues before, so while I'd like to encourage this, I'm not 100% convinced it will be sustainable. Out of respect for him and his projects, I won't reveal any of his costings (he is free to do so, or anyone who has his permissions) but a full dedicated server will cost hundreds of USD per month [just noticed, call it $80 as that's the request], as naturally it also requires a lot of storage and bandwidth.

In the initial months, donations will probably cover this, however if a month comes where they fall short, we will be in exactly the same place as where we started - they have to either use their own money to keep the project going or shut it down for months - but somehow store the terabytes of data externally for free (very unlikely).

This is the main reason I'd prefer that, somehow, a different route was taken (especially for Cook Android). If it stays small (by small, I mean like Desire only) I think the best form of 'donation' would be something like the donation of computing power (like cloud) from users with sufficient uplinks that when their PC is online, it will generate some ROMs, or the release of a user-binary where the application will download the ROM and cook it on their PC.

I would be all for the development and/or assisted development of such an application. Just my 2 cents.
[Desire General] HNH992:
This donation for Desire and Nexus One kitchen and we will make kitchens for more devices but we need people to manage them.

We can't update roms and apps for every device by ourselves. So we need people to manage those kitchens. It's so easy to make kitchen for another device but it's hard to manage it.

If we got enough donations, we will hire persons to manage those kitchens.
[Desire General] mohamed_moscow:
hi, i had a problem with your cook android. I made a rom with the core (Desire GR edition 2.0) and add some programs (from which are there in the site). It was told that everything was correctly done, but when i upload it to the phone, end in loop - not starting the rom. I tried to wait, i made a ext2. but it isn`t working.

Please help me.

thanks
[Desire General] HNH992:
Sorry for your problem.

What did you add to the rom exactly?

Did you tick on Apps2SD?

Did you change the boot animation?

Did you upload programs?
[Desire General] mohamed_moscow:
I add this programmes.

Flash Player 10....data/app/

Advanced Task Killer....data/app/

Facebook....data/app/

Market Enabler....data/app/

Estrongs File Explorer....data/app/

Adobe Reader....data/app/

Apps2SD

Boot original.
[Desire General] HNH992:
Maybe the problem is that you chose Apps2SD. You don't have to add Apps2SD since the rom itself has Apps2SD.

My battery life is awful. I'm dropping 2% every minute I'm on the internet or sending texts and my battery drops even when the screen is off. I'm using Fresh 3.2 with kernel, SetUP (set to 499 max and 245 min, and 245 max and min while screen off), and I was using juice defender too but that made things even worse. What the hell is going on with my phone? People report 20 hours of heavy usage with what I'm doing and I'm doing medium and my battery life has dropped 70% in 4 hours. What can I do to fix my phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryparid:
Don't use Fresh 3.2 ie HTC Stock Kernel, don't use Set CPU and don't bother with Juice Defender (it just turns off crap automatically, doesn't really make your phone consume less battery under normal use)

Switch to Backed Snacks with Kernel #6 or any other HTC OTA based rom and flash Netarchy Kernel 4.1.9 CFS.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_hustleman:
people REPORT 20 hours, but what they don't tell you is 8 hours of that is them sleeping so the phone isn't being used.

ask for a screen shot of anyone claiming 20 hours of battery life, if standby and idle times are the highest percentages of battery use - then simply put, they are not using the phone, just letting it sit.

I would like to know this as well. I have the Canadian Bell I9000M version. Need to know how to load them onto my rooted 2.1.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatpandas:
so, i previously had a rooted ROM. one of the stock rooted 2.2 roms that came out a while back. 2.09? and now the new rooted stock roms are out, 2.10? so i tried to install that. used rom manager and installed from SD and everything went well. but now i seem to have a problem with random reboots. haven't quite found a correlation between anything causing reboots yet. is there a way to log what happens to find out what may be causing the reboot?

or should i try flashing a new radio? i really don't see how radio's affect stability (came from winMo where it didn't), but i've seen reports about that here.

i have already tried restoring to my previous rom (via rom manager) and the random reboots are still there.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !PANDA:
Well radio is how hardware communicates with software so I would guess it would be that.. in rom manager there is a rom download section.. click on NeoPhyTe and at the bottom there are radios so just flash one of them :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datnukkapenut187:
After installing rom manager, i flashed the wrong clockwork recovery, I installed the Galaxy S I9000 recovery, instead of the Captivate recovery. Now everytime I go into an app, it automatically goes to landscape if the app is capable of landscape mode. I went to settings and toggled the orientation setting, now it only stays in portrait when i turn off the setting. What I mean is I can only do one at a time I can't change orientation without toggling the setting button on, and off, what should I do?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
If you are running Froyo - I think this is the way it works. Autorotate doesn't work in Froyo on Captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
which firmware are you using? if it's a captivate firmware, clockwork recovery shouldn't do that at all (it doesn't touch kernel or anything). if you're running an i9000 firmware, screen orientation is already a known issue if you don't flash a captivate kernel

Hey guys just wondering if you can use Vibrant roms, or any other galaxy S roms on other devices specifically the Epic 4g.. Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Possibly no. When Eugene made his ROMs, he makes a semi-revision of his ROM to make it compatiable. Hence Hybrid has three different versions to his ROM: Captivate, Vibrant, I9000. Stick to the Epic 4G forum for development, the tweaks here may work and may not work. So just be careful.

I don't really follow Epic 4G development, but is there at least Clockwork Recovery for it? I couldn't find anything about that. That is the next step that Epic 4G needs, you guys already have Root access.

[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
After much googling this is the way that seems to be best when recalibrating battery. I just see so many people with poor battery life and it's likely because you've flashed new kernels and roms 50 times a week =p

Minor update! I recalibrate my phone today and realized something, this is reflected in a few new steps.

Step 1: Charge phone to 100%

Step 2: Wipe battery stats and shut phone off.

Step 3: UNPLUG PHONE and power on

Step 4: Leave phone on until it it shuts itself off. Do not plug it in.

Step 5: Turn phone back on, still unplugged. If it can't turn on that's fine. If it can turn on let it fully drain again.

Step 6: LEAVE PHONE OFF. Plug the phone in and let it FULLY charge without interruption. I let my phone hit the green light and then wait an hour before step 7. Some people suggest waiting 3 hours, some people suggest longer.

Step 7: After it's hit green and you've waiting a while unplug your phone. Do not turn it on. Wait a minute and then plug it back in. If the light stays amber for more than a few seconds (like 10 tops) leave it charging again until it's green.

Step 8: Repeat step 7 until the light turns green very soon after you plug it back in.

Step 9: Unplug and turn your phone on. Enjoy your (hopefully) extended battery.

I also suggest using "Juiceplotter" widget. It "records" your phones battery usage and uses it to predict future battery life. It won't work perfectly for the first day or so but after it gets used to your habits it's very good at predicting.

[Droid Eris Android Development] thisisreallygay:
Thanks dude, I guess this will work with calibrating a new battery too? Just got the 3500 battery and was wondering exactly how to calibrate it for the first time...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Yes and I suggest recalibrating if you

a) Have a new battery of any kind

b) Have a new eris but the same battery

c) Flash a new kernel

d) Have been flashing many new roms

I find it' s a good habit to only flash roms when you're battery is at 100% to prevent your phone from getting too confused.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisisreallygay:
I read that after 5-6 full discharges of the Seidio 3500 battery that your battery life will improve... But I also heard that full discharging and then charging isn't as great for your battery... so what should I exactly do? I've already discharged and fully charged it once.
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
HM, you should also start a thread about "Tweaks I've found useful, and how to do them" and share your findings with everyone. I think that would be very helpful to noobs and the less-than-technical types that would like to get more out of their Eris'.

I know that's alot of work, but I'm sure lots of people would help answer questions when you're not available.

And you can add stuff as you go, wip type page ;) Just a thought, cheers!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I'll consider that, I just feel like I don't have all that much to contribute that others haven't already lol but we'll see.

Your eris's battery will never discharge completely, it turns itself off WELL before that point. You don't have to worry about hurting your battery in this day and age, maybe 10 years ago.

If you've discharged and fully charged once it might be recalibrated. Are you still having battery problems?
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
No, I hear ya, but to have most of the good tweaks in one thread would a helpful thing here.

[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
This is one way to calibrate it but if you've been flashing roms/kernels just going to "100%" isn't enough because your phone doesn't know what 100% is. I'm sure that way works well when there isn't a huge problem but for some people their batteries are way out of whack.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Thoa:
How about having 2 battery?

Right now i have 2 battery and switch one of them when other runout of power.

[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Don't switch between a 30% battery and a 100% battery, try to keep them around the same percentage. I can't say for sure because I don't know how the phone deals with that..
[Droid Eris Android Development] Bimmer323:
I tried this method yesterday (charged to 100%) , then last night and this morning drained the battery till dead and then charged to 1 hour after LED turned green. After I re-started my phone I was getting 1 % battery drop almost every 30 seconds, or every time I touched the phone it would drop a percentage point. :yikes:

So, I incorporated the "other" method mentioned here and turned my phone off (at 90%), plugged the charger back in and let it charge about 30 minutes after the LED turned green. I then booted the phone into recovery (while still plugged into the charger) and wiped battery stats, rebooted, and then unplugged the charger.

After this, I left it on for about 10 minutes with 3G and Sync active and only got 1% drop.

Kinda thinking this may be the ticket, for my phone at least.

Thanks for posting this up, I'll keep an eye on things and see if I can notice a difference. I was getting pretty decent battery life prior to this, but I agree that things need to be cleaned out sometimes after all these flashes.

I'm going to wipe GPS this afternoon and re-set it. Too much fun! :D
