So i now have no idea how to put the update.zip file onto my internal sd card there is nothing on the phone i checked all the settings and i disabled the debug...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
does the windows explorer shows the drive letters?

just copy and paste the update.zip file into the Internal SD card of your phone

when you connect via Kies mode to your PC

the windows explorers automatically pops up too

Bell root is not possible!

i may try samsung keys however i dont see how that helps you put the update.zip on your internal memory card or allows you to access anything in adb.exe in command promp.....my main question is acctually how the heck do you root the samsung vibrant with bell??? I have tried the thread in xda developers forum for bell saying it is the only way to get it to work....well it willl not work along with the million other ways i have tried, except 1clickroot it bricks alot of phones. Has anyone successfully rooted vibrant with bell! If so how?! I have even tried Z4Root which is the preferable method, well maybe i will just have to wait until some figures out a way that works. Boot with 3 button method "up vulume +menu+power" then apply sdcard:update.zip

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

It says this everytime no matter what way i try!!! please someone have a solution!

Rooted!

Thanks worked like a charm good thing only way I had left to root my phone. Any ideas how to apply the lag fix? One click lag fix will not work "error installing device busy" I tried moving all Apps to external and still wont work? Is there another way?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rashar:
For my first phone, I tried RyanZA's OCLF (search for oclf in the app market). I did have it installed and working pretty decent but ran into some issues in the beginning trying to apply the lagfix.

On my new phone, I applied Darky's ROM 9.2 with SpeedMod Kernel. You can enable or disable lagfix from recovery mode using CWM (ClockWorkMod) Personally, I just left the lagfix disabled and my phone now is performing way better then my first phone when I had lagfix enabled. (Mind you, my first phone was bricked).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aub_pro:
I have downloaded darkys rom 9.2 and cwm recovery in rom manager also downloaded darky configurator from market for 9.2 and enabled speed work kernal in the configurator .do I flash rom with that app or use the flash rom from SD in rom manager? I will read more and try and figure this out....thanks a million for everything but if you could help me with this confusion that would be great lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rashar:
Do you have a Bell phone?

- In any case, I had flashed my kernel using odin first.

- Copied the ROM(the entire zip file. don't extract it) over to the root folder of my phone.

- Boot into CWM and selected install zip from sdCard

- Select "choose zip from sdCard

- find the ROM that you downloaded to your phone and select it.

- let the phone do its thing and your good to go.

That was probably the long way but I now see that you can apply the ROM through Darky's Configurator...

- Open up Darky's Configurator

- Select Wipe the device if you want a clean install

- Select your Kernel preference

- Select Modem options (this is why I asked if you were Bell user. Apparently there has been an issue where you loose 850 band if your flashing a new ROM using JL2. So in this option, I selected "no modem")

- Check Alternative WiFi driver

- For the rest of the options you can see you can choose for yourself.

Once you are done with the selection process, press the menu key button on your phone, then choose "Select Zip and Flash".

Follow instructions on phone and you are good to go.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aub_pro:
awesome those are much less confusing instructions then others....im stuck on the kernal part download it and extract it and there is no .tar file it is just zimage....file.....i have tried downloading it ten times same result....its the recommended odin 500 kernal

i have tried mounting that file in odin pda and it must not be a .tar cuz it doesnt even see the file....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rashar:
No need to extract that file. Once it is downloaded on to your PC, use Odin and navigate to where the file is downloaded.

I will have to verify the kernel I downloaded when I get home but I'm certain that I did not extract anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aub_pro:
kernel installed

ok speedmod kernel is installed but when i load up darkys config the wipe all is greyed out and i cant click it.....im assuming that i use boot phone into recovery and whpe/factory data reset from there? wont i lose the darky 9.2 rom then being as it is on the root of the internal card?

the bold parts below are confusing me....so on the internal sd i should have the update.zip and darky rom 9.2 or is it just refurring to darky rom everytime it mentions zip?

Now turn off your phone, and wait for it to shutdown completely. Then, boot into Recovery Mode. Press and hold Volume-UP + Home + Power at the same time, and let go of the buttons when the screen turns on (and says Galaxy S GT-I9000/I9000M Samsung), to enter Recovery.

7. Then using the volume keys to navigate and the Power button to select, do the following:

Select 'wipe data/factory reset', and then select 'Yes'. Important!

Select ‘Install zip from sdcard’.

Then select ‘choose zip from sdcard’.

Now navigate to the ROM zip, then select it.

Then choose ‘Yes’.

8. The ROM will now be installed. After it says install complete, select ‘Go Back’ twice, then select 'Reboot System now'.

There you go, Darky's ROM is now installed!

k i figured it out im at the last step installing update.....been at this screen for about 10 mins but im sure thats normal.?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aub_pro:
k it was hanging way to long on the installing updates screen and appeared to be frozen so i press menu + vol up + power and after a few time of it hanging at the galaxy s screen it finally brought me to clockwork recovery....so i rebooted normally and now i have the speed kernal still installed still rooted but the phone is original hardware? what do i do now?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rashar:
Hey

....when you go to the menu settings about on your phone, what does the build number say?

Do you have Darkys Configurator app installed? Use that to flash the new rom. If you have nothing on your phone I would choose wipe. Choose the itmes that you want in the configurator. Select the menu button on your phone then select the option Save zip and exit... the second button in the bottom right.

Then choose Darkys rom where you saved it on your phone.

[Vibrant General] ludeboye:
Could someone educate me further? I've already skimmed through whats "new on 2.2" posts/blogs.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
If you "skimmed" thru the changes then you would know what is "so good."

The most significant difference is the JIT compiler which makes the phone perform faster.

- Ability to use apps exclusive to Android 2.2 such as Flash, the new Gmail (introduced today), Chrome to Phone, and more.

- Browser performance is significantly increased with loading JavaScript.

... and more.
[Vibrant General] mrxela:
If all the Froyo ETA troll posts are any indication it will make your balls hang at least half a foot lower.
[Vibrant General] ludeboye:
Thanks, the phone is plenty fast for me as it is :S but if apps are exclusive to 2.2 then it would be worth it.
[Vibrant General] jayprime:
I think I read that the stock 2.1 kernal will only let us use about 300mb of ram. The 2.2 stock kernal will let us use the full 512mb of ram. Thats huge.
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
While it does offer some speed increases there not much else. But if you listen to the whiny Froyo people on here it will change your life forever, cancer will be cured, peace in the middle east and it will give you a handy every time you ask.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Well.. they are exclusive because they use new APIs or whatever. Can't complain if there are more performance boosts :) I'm sure it would improve battery life since it would apply less usage on the CPU.
[Vibrant General] gunks:
I know this guy who just got Froyo.... Now he can shoot lasers from his eyes.
[Vibrant General] smutek:
This changes everything. Again.

[Vibrant General] presence06:
This is included in Froyo. Google told me so.
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
Yeah, updates are overrated.... Google just puts them out to keep Page and Brin's cousins employed, you know....

It's a freaking maintenance release and it brings speed increases, fixes and a few extra goodies. What more do you expect?

And only a complete fanboy would defend Samsung for delaying the update, when the OS has been released for three months (and available to manufacturers a lot longer), and every other manufacturer has managed to put the update on their flagship phones.
[Vibrant General] theclueless:
no matter if you are using 1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, or 128493.2, dumb people using smartphone is still dumb people
[Vibrant General] raduque:
Yea, the himem kernel is really needed. I have 336mb of the 512 available to be used.

Am I really a fanboy if I speculate that either Samsung's coders are really slow or that maybe TouchWiz requires a LOT of debugging to work correctly with 2.2? Hell, maybe Google didn't even give Samsung the source till recently, you don't know anything about how or why it's delayed.

See how that makes you look like a complete ass?
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Hence.. his name is MacGuy2006 :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] Tpavey:
If it is a case of TouchWiz they could easily release it without then work on TouchWiz as a download from the Market much like all the other third-party launchers. Samsung did this with the Home and Car apps, so it isn't out of the question.

Also, I highly doubt they would have gotten Froyo after the other manufacturers. Google isn't in the business of playing favorites. They want the best handsets with the most up todate software possible. That is why they are trying to get rid of these highly customized, hand-cuffed, versions starting with 3.0. Fragmentation hurts Google/Android.

Your best answer, is that Samsung's programmers suck. When you look at their file system method they implemented I'm thinking this may be very true.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] avemn1:
So I'm writing this list in full understanding that it is still in development for the HD2. I just want to bring to the developers' attention about what I believe to be really desired features by many. And many of which I don't think will be hard development changes. If anyone else thinks of any, feel free to reply with your ideas and Ill update this post so developers don't have to search or "fetch" the for the ideas. Oh by the way, these features are ideally from the HD2 windows mobile side of things and I feel that if we can get these features on the Android side, it won't be hard for me to let go of WM. :D Hey, it's the truth.

LIST OF FEATURES:

Boost from 5mp to 8mp camera

Touch focusing on camera

Fixed led notifications [being worked on]

Auto backlight [being worked on]

audio routing through bluetooth?

Other things not directed towards developers:

CoPilot (Although Google Nav is doing it for me ;) )

Office Mobile 2010 or close
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] avemn1:
For safe measure :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
Um we have a 5mp camera not a 8mp camera its a physical limit.

Ill have a play but I think we can already do touch focus and there are plenty of other camera apps out there.(upon a quick check i found auto focus but not touch to focus)

Led notifications "are" being worked on as we speak.

I believe the auto backlight works(kinda sorta) I believe I saw cotulla say it was working but the polling delay was high so you might not see a change right away. Not sure if they incorportated that yet.

I have not looked into these threads but I know that android has copilot.

and I know we have documents to go. There is a free version and a paid version.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] avemn1:
I understand that we have a physical 5mp camera but why do we have that tweaking app for wm that tweaks it to 7/8mp?

There is a difference between touch and auto focus. Touch focus allows you to touch the screen and wherever you tap will come into focus. Huge difference when taking close-ups of an object.

Wonderful news about the led and backlight. Thanks for the update!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
Only info i could find as far as the camera and android is 720p recording. It might be best to ask the camera question in the nexus1 forums. I am not sure the tweaks are legit.

No we do not have a tweek for higher MP cameras.

The sensor in the camera is simply only able to register a photo size of 5mp!

Even with that tweek, the photo size is still 5megapixel. (i.e. 2580 by 2048 pixels in size). 5 megapixel will print at about 8 by 10 inch, do you really want a bigger print from your phone?!

Megapixels have nothing, at all to do with image quality (unless your printing large, even then they are sort of pointless!)

That tweek, as far as I know changed the DPI of the photos.

720p video would be nice though,lol

Long time lurker, first time poster. First, let me thank all the devs and countless others for all of the support. OK, so i've had the U.S. TMO HD2 since around launch time, and its performed like a champ until about 2 days ago. The touchscreen stopped responding all together. At the time I was running:

ChuckyDroidRom w/ shubCRAFT 1.5 (8/30 build I believe)

2.12.50.02_2 Radio

HSPL 2

Had been running android for the last 2 weeks. Screen Stopped responding in both WinMo and Android. I scrapped android, and tried a few different WinMo roms. Switched back to stock rom+radio and now with constant soft and hard resets, I can get it to work for like 5 minutes every few hours.

The only relevant threads I found dealt with individuals who encountered problems after opening the housing. Also I read that flashing the stock rom via SD brought the phone back to a repairable status if I were to send it in. I tried, extracting and renaming the signed .nbh from a stock rom, then holding vol down while powering up. I get to the boot menu and a white screen flashes briefly, and then it just reverts back to the red/green/blue/white screen. Also reformatted card countless times.

Long read, but thanks in advance. Can the screen be fixed? If not, how can I get my HD2 repair ready?

similair situation to yours except im running MDJs cm7 gingerbread 2.6 NAND android rom right now. my screen started doing that back when i had 2.0 of the rom yet it persists after updating. my screen will let me keep going for any length of time unless i hit standby button. that puts me in a 50/50 of the screen tanking on the lockscreen. sometimes it works after i try again. however, every single time i hold the standby button to say reboot that seems to just turn my touchscreen function off flat out. battery comes out to fix that so basically i have to pull my battery to shut it off. it hasnt stopped working in the middle of anything only whem the standby/power button gets touched. this hd2 has never fallen down either so not an oops i dropped it but it didnt crack moment lol
