Samsung I5801 (orange)

Hi i have read the entry post but i have not a clear idea to what to do.

That's the thing, I have an Samsung i5801 from orange (france). And I have tried to root it with the "One Click Root/UnRoot I9000 (Eclair and Froyo) Mac and PC" with OSX. The only thing that I get is an android logo and a reset of the phone.

Well, to solve that, i can install a firmware from the i5800 phone without risk?

If that's true, it must be this one? "I5800XWJH2 for I5800 EUROPE (August 2010) - CLICK HERE - (password = samsung-firmwares.com)"

Thank you.

Joe.

Some people report that the root process works on i5800 but not on i5801.

I'dont have any i5801 so I can't confirm. I'm only sure that it works correcly on i5800 with POJG5 firmware.

Orange may have request some firmware customization that make the process fail.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Phonicle:
I think that is correct based on what Szaby said on the previous page. The European firmware version in the OP is JH2 and presumably flashing it to that will remove the Orange branding and allow access to recovery mode etc. But I don't know if anyone has tried this and whether rooting works afterwards is another story.

Flashing it is definitely possible because you can still get to upload/download mode.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Szaby59:
I had i5801 from Orange SK, now I have the I5800XXJG6 firmware, no problem, "just" IMEI loss (but I think that was my fault).
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Phonicle:
Ah, have you been able to recover your IMEI? And/or is there a way to avoid it happening?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Nkrl:
I'm a little bit afraid now to root and flash. I have an unbranded i5800! Can i loose my IMEI or does this happen only with i5801 devices?

Hi,

I've try to find a solution to the GPS issue on my i5800.

To do so I've developped an application that configures the GPS

to make it work correctly (if it is not enabled it request the

activation through the settings before).

The application is still experimental but works very well on

my i5800. The GPS work very well after.

I put it on android market for free. You can search it with one

of the following keywords: octy, GPS optimisation or GPSopt.

If you want you can test it on your i5800/i5801.

I'm interested by your feedbacks.

If the application make GPS work better for a significant

number of people, I will upgrade it to a better one with a

more intuitive and beautiful interface.

Remark: same message posted in several forum :p

I chose "install update.zip", now I've got the greet android guy with a !

is this good or bad? how long should it take to install? if it's bad, what do I do now?

galaxy 3 5800 unbranded europe

edit: nevermind - it doesn't push update.zip to the sdcard folder - should I just copy/paste root.zip to the sdcard main directory and rename it update.zip? don't want to brick anything obviously

Hello

I tried to root my Samsung i8501, but when I run rootme.bat (S I9000 Galaxy One Click root.exe does not), my device restarts and remains a warning icon android.

I can not select my choice with the volume keys. I then click on the home key, and reboot my device but not root ...

Can someone help me?

Excuse me for my English, it's a Google translation ...

Thank you.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] octy:
It just changes the GPS config. It is not permanent, if you reboot the original settings are restored. So it is not intrusive.

I'm not sure it will work on all devices because I've work only on the symptoms I have on

my

device. Also for whom who have flashed their firmware I don't know if it will work.

Nevertheless, I've got some reports from others that it works on their device.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Silent3sniper:
Hi,

with this fix I can get a gps fix within 10-15s, I've tried several times and it seems to work every time. Usually I had to deactivate and activate gps to have a _chance_ to get a fix.

Questions:

- why is it protected? can't backup with appmonster

- please include an option to make the settings permanent or permanent until you uninstall the program, alternatively implement a setting to "do and undo" the settings

but the program itself apparently works :)

I was using trackerbooster before, if I knew I'd use gps I would try to make it work once and then start trackerbooster to make sure it kees a connection = crappy solution
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] slumpolo:
Seems to work perfectly!

Tomorrow i'll add it to first topic :)

I dont know why, but my market dont show your app (and many others). Can you attach your app or put in some server, like mediafire ? Thanks.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] lilica:
It works!!

This is great!!! I´m from Brazil and i bougth this phone last week...never got GPS right...after your app fix...ITS GREAT!!! I GET GPS SIGNAL IN 30 SEC tops!!!

Thanks!!! (But in other subjet i cant root my phone...i dont know why, but in the last part of the root process its says "aborted (error 7) bad updat.zip" i´ll have to wait for a better solution later on.

Thanks for the GPS fix!!!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] octy:
- there is no objective reason. It is the first time I post an application on market, during the process google gives the choice : protect or not. I just click protect :p This may change for future versions.

- it seams it solve the problem for several people. So I will probably makes the application evolve. I can take in account your suggestions.

Strange, did you try to search each of keywords separatively ? Where are you (which country) and which operator?

The application is in beta stage and it will evolve rapidly. For the moment, I prefer to have only one repository (the android market) to avoid multiple place to update. Also the market allow to push update easily.

I just test an alternative for you: goto to a site with appli list (androidzoom for example). You will find the application description in it and a QR code that is a link to the market. Scan it with your phone and you will be directed on application market for installation.

Gpssetup2

Guys I am new here!

But I own a i5801.

I saw someone discussing gps problems and I thought I will share my experience. Well,when I used gpssetup2 I went to fix parameter settings and changed session type to download. There are four modes new location, latest location , tracking and download. I then used get location using commands option in gpssetup2 to get the coordinates. After all this when I exit I am able to get a good gps fix for the whole time gps is on. If I switch it off then the whole procedure needs to be repeated the next time I use it. This works for me.for some reason I have not ben able to get a fix in any if the other modes.

Let me know if it worked!

Cheers!

Hello, i just got my sister a i5800 today and it has XXJG7 firmware on it. She is happy with the phone, but i run JP6 on my SGS so i was bummed when i saw Froyo is not out for her model yet. So should i update the firmware to I5800XWJH3 ? What are the problems with I5800XWJI4 ?

Thanks.

Please help! :(
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Gsam101:
You will see "root" in About screen even if you are not root. You should check if you have the "Superuser" app :).
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Ad Fundum:
Oh, I didn't know that

My Kernel says this: 2.2.29 root@SE-S603 #2

The strange thing is that I do have the superuser management app. I later updated it to the superuser app from the market, but I still can't gain any superuser acces from other apps :(

Is there any other way to root my device, in opposite to what's described in the first post?

EDIT: I tried using this method, but it didn't work either: http://seronline.de/?p=178 . What am I doing wrong? :(

EDIT2: I also can't get into recovery mode manually, only by using a .bat file on my pc. If I press VOLup + home + power when the phone is powered off, I get a "FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING" screen :confused:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rmagyar:
Nice post, thank you. Just a few comment:

I often use ICS to to share my laptop's internet connection to my phone. The easiest way is the following:

- Create an ad-hoc network on your computer (assuming Windows XP)

- Connect your device to this network. In the first time you may get an error message obtaining IP address.

- Go to network settings on Windows and select your active network interface, which is connected to the internet. It the connection sharing tab, select share network connection to the wireless network. You will get a popup window saying you should set your IP address to 192.168.0.x. Simple ignore it.

- On the Android device connect again to the ad-hoc network. You should get IP and all the required settings (DNS, gateway, domain) automatically.

I can confirm, this method working for 3G and Wired ethernet.

If you are using Windows 7, you can simple install Connectify to create a Wifi hotspot from your laptop.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Phonicle:
It sounds like root has not been successful, which will be the case if your phone can't get to recovery mode. So I would recommend using the app here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682 as it works perfectly for phones like ours which don't have recovery mode.

Hi! Some one please help me!

I'm tried to update my i5800's firmware, but when the odin is uploading the factoryrs.rfs the operation is stops. Since ten minutes nothings change, than i disconnect my phone, and when i switch on, i can see a phone and a computer icon with a "!" sign... what can i do?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Ad Fundum:
I get this problem during the rooting proces:

I do have over 50mb free space though, and the su file is only 25.6kb :/ What can I do?

EDIT: I found the solution myself after a lot of googling and some trial-and-error.

What to do: Shut down your phone; then run SuperOneClick, then power on your phone with usb plugged in (and with usb-debugging mode turned on ofcourse).

Thanks a lot Phonicle for giving the link to the app!

One last question: Does ROM Manager support this phone? If so, what Recovery rom should I choose to flash, as i5800 is not in the list?

Because I want to back up my current ROM, but the phone freezes once it reaches the backup screen after reboot.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rmagyar:
Unfortunately not. I tried to manually port clockwork recovery to i5800, but with no success. :-(

Unfortunately this is not an MTD phone, so it's hard to dump the boot and recovery image.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] vijacdblz:

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Ad Fundum:
So is there a way to back up my current ROM, or will I have to be careful with my actions? :p
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rmagyar:
You can backup your applications and settings. In case of you mess up your phone, you can do a factory reset and then restore all applications and settings. I would recommend Titanium Backup.

It is possible to edit rfs files within the firmware update tar archive with WinImage. You can add and remove files and modify it's contents. For linux yoiu can use this method.

I plan to do some experiment modifying the firmware. For example to remove unnecessary 3rd party apps...

sure eclair can have app2sd

I guess recompling the kernel aint necessary,correct me if i am wrong.

there's a script for lg optimus540 running eclair,to enable app2sd,it just requires the phone to be rooted.

Have'nt tried myself yet

I ve uploaded the file here..

I solved the problem. Ive searched a lot and finally i found this : h**p://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1124 (at comment 161).

The solution is this : You have to delete the file bcm_supp.conf in /data/wifi/ on your mobile. This works for me. I got wifi again. Of course I dont know how or why this works. I hope this can be useful for the people with this problem, and for the expert people to research the reasons for why this happens.
