[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webcrtor:
EDIT: Can be closed, fixed it by going into recovery and wiping data/cache, never had to do that before in other flashes so didn't know it was needed :)

Hi guys,

first of all I'm not another first time flasher, I already succesfully put 4 other roms on my galaxy s but now I don't know what to do..

I came from jm5 and wanted to upgrade to jm8 today so I back upped everything and started the process, I thought I'd best follow richthoven's instructions so I first flashed the pit file + repartition, and then after pass, removed battery, back to download mode and put pda,modem,csc etc like always and started flashing.

Now my problem is from what I remember after the final reboot before odin sais pass the s logo dissapears and the phone boots into touchwiz, but now after the s logo dissappeared, my screen just stays black and after a minute or two odin sais passed, but there's nothing on my screen, and even after disconnecting and removing battery and try to boot it hangs on the s logo for a few minutes then a black screen with the backlight buttons highlighted.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

PS: I already tried the flashing procedure twice, same result

hello there, I can appreciate if you're new to smartphones it can seem a lot to take in.

If you want an easy/simple way to root then there are 2 or 3 methods available on this fantastic forum but try this one:

just go to youtube and search for rooting videos and watch someone do it first, then you do it. very easy once you see how it is done. youtube or theunlockr.com also has great videos

Yea but my problem is now that I can't get access to it when it's in USB debugging mode.

As I posted earlier, the first time I put my phone in USB debugging mode and connected it to my computer it said "Drivers where not successfully installed" (or something like it).. And now, when I connect my phone to my computer in USB debugging mode, it won't even show as an USB. It doesn't pop up and say "USB connected" and I can't find it under My Computer.

Someone who can help me with this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnTheOne:
And when I plug it in, in USB debugging mode, should I press the USB connected button on my phone, like I usually do when I connect the phone to my computer without it being in USB debugging mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnTheOne:
Okay, I found the device now on my computer, but I can't find any drivers for the phone to be connected in USB-debugging mode. Anyone knows where I can find drivers for this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
when used as USB Debugging mode, you need no driver if you plan to use it as a mass storage drive

you just pull down the tab and select mount the drive

then you can copy your Update.zip to the phone Internal SD

after it is done select Unmount the mass storage drive from the pull down tab in the phone

and now you can boot into the Recovery Mode, select update.zip

and you are rooted.

reboot back to normal, and enjoy the freedom to install any App you want to play with

The easiest way I found is to go on to Android market, install One Click Lag Fix. Then open the app and select root 2.1. Restart into recovery and select apply update.zip. Your phone reboots and its rooted. Simples!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frriction:
simplest way to root is

1)go to market search for RyanZA's OCLF 2.0.

or here is link http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.rc.QuickFixLagFix

2)open the app

3) click root.

4)then boot into recovery

5)use volume button to select update.zip and click home button

6)your phone is rooted.

Hi everyone... Can anyone here let me know if these "lagfix" rooting methods work and are SAFE for a LOCKED (I have not unlocked the sim) Bell Galaxy S with stock JH2 rom? I am also a bit of a noob and would like to see what this phone can really do.

Also... Do I have to unroot it if I want to upgrade to froyo when it is released?

Please advise...

Thx.

yiannisthegreek

PS... Once this is rooted, HOW do you unroot with these "lagfix" methods if I ever need to?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i would advice againts installing the LAG FIXes as they can kill your Internal SD

there are over a dozen forum topics with people unable to repair the damage, and end up having to ship the phone back to samsung to have it repaired.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Allgamer...

Thank You for the heads up on this but now I am still confused on how to do it. I have to move the update.zip file to my internal sd card but I too have some issues that I cant figure out.

I learded how to do it on youtube watching someone called tech0stickyasglue and it seems very simple but firstly I am not sure exactly where I have to place the file and if I have to unzip it and then place the 2 folders inside it into the sd card, etc... I also have an issue with the whole "mount" and "unmount" thing.

I can mount the card while in usb debugging but when I go back to the dropdown menu it does not give me an option to "unmount" it only gives me an option to quit usb debugging and when I pick this option I get a warning message saying that I should "make sure I have unmounted form the host" or something to that effect.

Can you give any advice or step by step instructions to me on what and where I need to place these files to make this work?

I would greatly appreciate it...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnTheOne:
Yea but the thing is that I can't go into recorvery mode.. The 3 button combination doesn't work (Talking to the people from page 1)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnTheOne:
When I put down the tap and select mount the drive(when in USB debugging mode that is) I can't acces the phones folders. I can't even see the extra icons you usually get, under My Computer, when you connect an USB to the computer. I can only find the SAMSUNG_Android under Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound ->Devices and Printers where it lies under the "Unspecified" section and not under the "Devices" section. And when I right click on it, press proporties and go to the Hardware tap, I can see under "Device status:" it says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)" ..

So can anyone tell me what's wrong? (I havn't installed Kies btw, dunno if that has got anything to do with it)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
Ahh... the joy of Android & Kies.... :)

you don't really need to install Kies, I only installed Kies to check for official ROMs, but i was using the phone on the PC even without Kies installed

You can install the Android SDK drivers, inside the Android package that you download from google, there is a sub folder with both 32bit and 64bit drivers, unplug your phone and install them, then plug back the phone, it should be detected now.

in my Work PC, i never installed any driver, and i select mount, and it gets detected as a USB key by Win XP
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnTheOne:
Alright, thanks alot :) But where can I find this Android package then? I'm not sure what you are talking about exactly :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Why wont anyone explain WHAT file(s) you put WHERE exactly for this update.zip root method? Is is some sort of "spy secret" or something?

Seriously... I CAN get to see my phone folders on my computer so I am good there but what I dont know is if I am supposed to move the entire .zip file to the root of my sd card or if I need to extract the .zip file to the root of my sd card.

At any rate... I have tried BOTH methods and I always get the same error message when I reboot in 3 button mode... Something to the effect of E: cannot open / install update.zip... Invalid or not found... (I am guessing on this as I am at work but you get the idea)...

Please... ANY help and "step by step" instruction would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Hi,

One Click Lag Fix (OCLG) downloadable from Android Market will give u an option to root ur phone. And also it gives u an option to fix the lag in galaxy s. I have more than 80 applicatons and widgets installed in my phone. I insist that OCLF is the most useful, powerful and demanded application ever. It is so easy to use and follow. It even offers an option to unroot. So don't be afraid to download and install.

For ur reference, the bench mark speed has been increased from 800 to 2150. Comparable to nexus 1 with 2.2 was 1200. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
you download it from google

just google up Android SDK download
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
update.zip needs to sit at the root of your Internal SD, not the External SD

that's why i explained above, mounting the phone as a mass storage device is the best way
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adevem:
screw kies. you select your phone as "Mass Storage" WITHOUT USB DEBUGGING MODE. once plugged in, from your notifications bar you select the option to mount your phone's hard disks.

- double click My Computer

- browse to your INTERNAL SD CARD (~14gb of space overall)

- DON'T BROWSE ANYWHERE ELSE (YOU SHOULD BE AT F:/ or whatever depending on how many drives you have) and copy the update.zip there. (in that case it'll be noted as F:/update.zip)

- unplug your phone, when it's done media-scanning, off it.

- then go into recovery mode (POWER + HOME + VOL UP), when the screen that says "Galaxy GT-i9000" shows, REMOVE THE 3-BUTTONS.

- use your volume rocker, scroll to the 2nd option (apply sdcard: update.zip [or something like that]) and PRESS THE HOME BUTTON.

it'll install the update, and it'll reboot your phone by itself. wait for everything to be booted up and check that you have SUPERUSER installed.

and you should be rooted. you can verify if you're rooted by installing "Autokiller" or applications that require root access.

ps. some CSCs are not rootable.

I did and I installed Android SDK now but it still says "The drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28)" .. So my computer still don't recognize the phone as a device and I can't do anything with it (This is only while it's in USB debugging mode that is)

I've taken a screenshot so you can see for yourself:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
installing Android SDK, doesn't automatically install the driver

the drivers are included with the download, but you need to install the drivers manually.

right click properties on the phone/USB detected by windows, then select install drivers

and then point it to the location where you saved the Android SDK driver folder and select either 32 bit or 64 bit depending on your windows.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnTheOne:
I did. I both tryed pointing it to the android-sdk-windows folder and the usb_driver folder inside the android-sdk-windows and I check the "check subfolders" box (showed below).

It says:

"Windows was unable to install your SAMSUNG_Android

Windows could not find driver software for your device.

If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."

Are you sure Kies doesn't come with a driver? Or what should I try?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnTheOne:
Attached the screenshot again. Looked a little small to me (dunno why).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
go to add / remove programs

look for the Samsung drivers

uninstall it, reboot the computer then try again

leave the phone connected with the USB debugging option enabled
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnTheOne:
Alright I think I made it a step further(look at the screeshot). I found this section on your forum:

And then I downloaded this zip file(found in the comments in the section above):

http://rapidshare.com/files/40847044...rivers_x32.zip

But it still can't find the "CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM)" and the "S3C6410 Android ADB" drivers. What are these needed for? Are they necessary? If yes, where can I find them?

2. Download Dot net framework v4 if you don’t have already.

3. Enable USB Debugging mode. To do that, Go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development and check USB Debugging.

4. Download USB Device Drivers for Windows. Skip this step if you already have Samsung Kies.

5. Using the USB cable, connect your phone to your PC.

6. Launch Galaxy S I9000 One-Click Root executable from the downloaded tool.

7. Click on the button One click Root 2.1 (for Eclair) or One Click Root 2.2 (for Froyo)

8. Your Device will now restart automatically in recovery mode. Follow the instructions to apply update.zip and press Home key in middle bottom.

9. The phone will boot again and you will now have a rooted Samsung galaxy S i9000!

10. Look for “SuperUser Permission” app which confirms successful rooting.

I hope this helps for beginners.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
that is where he is stuck, he can't even go that far as ADB since the phone is not even recognized

for your suggestion to work, the phone needs to be recognized by Windoze
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
this is good enough

so it does recognize your phone as a mass storage device

that's all you need to copy the update.zip file into the phone internal SD card root folder "/"

on the phone side just pull down the tab, and select mount drive

just make sure it is in USB Debugging mode before you mount the drive

copy update.zip from PC and paste into mass storage device

eject mass storage device

unplug

reboot phone

go into the 3 button Recovery Mode

select update.zip

Done

Alright! At all came down to me missing Kies on my computer .. When installing Kies you automaticly install the necessary drivers! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
partially true... i had my share or weird trouble with kies

installed it like 3~4 times before it would recognize my phone, even though the drivers were already installed.

in my case it was working better when kies was not installed, then when it got installed

i had no trouble using the Android drivers from the SDK, until i installed Kies

now, neither one will work properly, in the end i created a new WinXP machine just to run Kies, so it wont mess with my main PC

Search for Scrollable ContactWidget in the market. Or buy the plus version of Launcher Pro.

But not sure whether they would be able to grab contacts and pics from facebook.

Launcherpro Plus is the way to go. He always has good updates and he has been adding alot of widgets that if you didnt know were HTC's. Well worth the money.

This is the first time I have started a thread so bear with me guys:

I just finished getting my HTC Evo to tether up through my computer and linked it to my Xbox so I could play Xbox Live. I figured I'd write a tutorial on how to do it because it was such a pain to figure out.

First off this is for Windows 7 PCs only (and most likely Vista too)

Step 1: Installing PDAnet

-Install PDAnet for your device (I used my Evo, but it is available for several other platforms)

-Install it on your PC from junefabrics.com

-Tether your phone to your PC using the PDAnet application

Step 2: Configuring Connection

-Connect a standard lan cable from your xbox to your computer's lan port

-Open up the Network and Sharing Center under Control Panel and select "Change Adapter Settings" (left side of screen)

-Select "PDAnet Modem" and go to properties, then navigate to the sharing tab

-Check "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection" and select local area connection from the drop down box

-Click "OK"

-Your Xbox now has an internet connection via your PC and through your phone

***Disclaimer***

You may receive an error on your Xbox about MTU, this is related to packet size; it only happens on certain phones on certain carriers.

connecting to xbox with pda net for pc running xp

i am pulling my hair out over this.

i have been over and over these forums with no luck.maybe i am just a bit too green but the instruction i have found, allthough very close in parallel, just doesn't answer all of my questions. if someone could point me to the proper thread or even just give me the correct step by step i would greatly appreciate it.

i have an evo4g rooted on the 2.3.3 gingerbread running pda net to tether via usb to my p.c with windows xp. when i go to configure the network protocols to connect to my x box 360 i get lost. my right click drop downs are different from all the tutorial i have found. most are windows 7, or some sort of laptop. i do not see the allow internet sharing box so im stuck in a stand still.

this is very frustrating to me. i hate having to read through countless threads of peoples responses that just don't answer the actual question proposed. i know the evo is capable of running the 360 for my needs, i am not trying to play online , i don't care if anyone thinks it will be too slow, im not worried about my connection cap( as i have downloaded probably over 50 movies via bit torrent using pdanet). i just need a little help. hopefully without being berated for being a "noob".

again if anyone could help?

Using Bootstrap? If so, delete /system/bin/logwrapper then rename logwrapper.bin to logwrapper. I did this and it worked.
[Droid X General] Practicing:
I was not using Bootstrap.

Currently attempting to fix this by reinstalling all of the bloatware that I uninstalled (per this: droidxforums.com/forum/froyo-2-2-news-rumors-wishes/7471-froyo-2-2-ota-install-issues.html).

I thought I had backed up the apps before uninstalling them with Titanium Backup but I was unable to restore them and it seems that it only backed up the application data and not the applications themselves before uninstalling. Funsies. That was an unroot, re-root, unroot, re-root carousel that I never want to go on again.

So... I went here (chadhaney.com/droidXDefault/516/) and downloaded all of the apps that I uninstalled, put them onto my SD card and then used Root Explorer to paste them into the system\app folder because I'm not so good with the command prompt stuff that you all use (if you do use this method, make sure to click "Mount R/W" at the top to get into read/write mode otherwise you can't paste into the system folder... took me way too long to figure out).

I've manually installed all of the apps while the OTA downloads (for some reason no 3G at the office) and will report back once it's finished and I have either Froyo, another failed attempt or a bricked phone. Exciting, no?
