[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentStorm:
It's hardware, not software.

The confirmation bias for lagfixes is present because the impacts of changing the filesystem on a device is mostly unknown for many users.

Most of the filesystems that lagfixes use are EXT3 and EXT4. These are journalling filesystems. In simple terms, they first write changes to a journal, then journal is applied to the files. This means writing the change twice. Since journal writing is smaller and safe, syncing to real files can be done later.

Solid state storage devices (SD cards, SSDs, flash disks, etc.) have limited number of writes. So you can stress a memory device more by using a different file system. While Samsung notorious RFS looks like a journalling fat16/32 filesystem, it seems that it has been optimized for solid state storage for minimal wear/tear. Also it's worth noting that the internal structure of EXT family is way more complicated than FAT, one of the most primitive and straightforward filesystems on the world.

Yes, many of the 9000ms may have bad flash chips but it seems like stressing them more with froyo or a more serious filesystem like EXT3/4 accelerates their failure.

It's rooted. No responsibility.

Extract into your clockwork backup folder, and restore from Rom Manager.

i have a evo 4g i rooted with unrevoked forever and it will not let me install roms it says installation aborted and ive tryed like 4 different ways that i've read online and none work i also looked up how to unroot and i cant even get that to work to reroot the phone to start over
[Nexus One General] Still Mostly Harmless:
Hey guys I am hoping someone can help me out. About a week ago I did the one click root with my phone and used it to clear my cache etc... but never installed any roms. I got the update notice for 2.2.1 and when I go to install it, it always aborts when it gets to the end. Even if I do the root manually. The error looks similar to this:

--Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Installing update...

Verifying current system...

*Has a bunch of letters here*

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted

I wiped clean the phone and even tried it with the fresh install and it just won't take. When I do it with the official update it shows the icon with the box open and the arrow coming out and then goes to the guy with the exclamation point. Any help? Please?
[Nexus One General] DDM123:
Official signed updates don't work with rooted phones, dummy.

Did you install custom recovery? If yes - you need to install the stock one back.

[Captivate General] ViniD:
Both exactly the same but i think the captivate looks much better and feels better in your hand

Better development right now with the galaxy s vibrant (more devs) but captivate will catch up. I agree the cap is a nicer style, I've come to love the design of it.
[Captivate General] rajendra82:
If I had to chose, I'd go with a Bell i9000m over a Rogers Captivate. But before I walked out of the store, I would make damn sure that the three button combos work on the phone I am getting. Once you have that hardware, you can go home and play with Froyo or the most polished version of Eclair. If you don't like Bell service, no worries, the i9000m supports all of the Rogers 3G bands, you can't say that about the AT&T Captivate, and probably not its Rogers twin brother. The Captivate looks a touch nicer to me and is built a tad better with no bulge in the back, and a metal battery cover, but the i9000m is a very sleek phone in its own right as well, so the difference is quite minimal. And what you give up in looks and build quality, you get back tenfold in availability of accessories due to the use of a standard form factor.

I flash to stock using odin, market still worked. I then flashed cog 2.1 and restored my apps with titanium backup and now it just sits there at starting download.

Which apps or data shouldn't i of restored? I tried clearing cache/data from google apps/talk/market but it still doesn't want to download anything.
[Captivate General] bacuy82:
Uninstall Google talk/voice and it should be back to normal. It worked out for me when market was hanging like that. It has something to do with titanium when restoring.

sent from my captivate
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
Just tried that, didn't work, same deal stuck at starting download. Or as a last resort flash with odin/cog again and download every apps manuall by itself or restore missing apps and not all apps.
[Captivate General] RobertDeBord:
You probably restored your phone with TiBackup. I had the same problem because I restored the system data with Ti. Instead, restore only the apps that are missing and do not restore anything system related. You should be all good after that.

Unfortunately, you'll have to -- as far as I know -- reflash to stock w/ Odin and go back to Cog, but providing you don't restore the system data you should be golden.
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
Doing that now...

I wish tibackup could automate restoring apps.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I have that problem when I restore the accounts system data with TiB, but not everything else. I've found that I have to either code all system data or leave accounts out.
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
All good now, except the installed apps dont show in the market but i think i can live with that. I've had enough with all this flashing for the time being...
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Have you ran the market doctor operation in TiB?
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
Nope, but all my apps are back in the android market... weird.
[Captivate General] RobertDeBord:
Ti can auto restore if you get the donate version. If you're doing this more than once it's *WELL* worth the money.

After restoring 300+ apps and manually approving each one once, I donated before having to go through that again.
[Vibrant General] galonet:
THIS GUIDE WORKED ON USA T-MOBILE SAMSUNG VIBRANT BUT MAY VERY WELL WORK ON ALL SAMSUNG GALAXYS PHONES

After reading many XDA-Developers Forum Posts to try and figure out how to get into the Recovery Mode / Download Mode without any success, I gave T-Mobile Support a call.

After the usual noop run-down, "did you take the battery out" questions, I simply asked them how to get the Samsung Vibrant into recovery mode.

Unline the many tutorials that claim to require the Up or Down button pressed, along with the Home button then the Power, the true process is as follows:

1. Press the Up and the Down button at the same time (yes both). I too thought that button was a Toggle which only did either Up or Down, but found that in fact it does do both.

2. At the same time, press the power button.

3. As soon as the Samsung / Vibrant logo comes up on the screen, release the power button.

4. Release the Up and Down buttons.

5. PRESTO

Download Mode from Recovery Mode: Allows File Push through ADB

UPDATE

Once in Recovery Mode, to swith to what I believe is Download Mode, due to the fact that it now allows me to push files to the phone:

Click on the MENU Button from Recovery Mode.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
:confused::confused::confused:

You do relies the people with this download mode problem have hardware locked phones, rite?

Therefore they cant access recovery because the volume buttons dont work ;)
[Vibrant General] tgrantjr:
I had a hardware locked vibrant and got to recovery the exaxt same way he described. Ill attest its true. Don't know about download mode though. Sounds interesting.
[Vibrant General] andorinho:
I can't get it to work. How long do you wait before releasing both volume buttons (step 4)?
[Vibrant General] grennis:
You do realize that "hardware locked" means the volume buttons don't work ... right? Otherwise what do you think it means?
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
Then it wasn't a hardware locked Vibrant...
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
How do you know if your phone is hardware locked? Is the only impact that you can't get into recovery mode?
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
This technique has been around for a while and it simply does not work for hardware locked phones. There is no known way to get the HL phones into recovery from a power off.
[Vibrant General] giganticprune:
ive tried this method many times on the 2 vibrants ive had over the past 2 weeks. hasnt worked. although i can get into download mode just fine.

[Vibrant General] chan_max:

[Vibrant General] quest4fire:
I dont think there is such a thing as "hardware locked" vibrants. I know people think they do have one but why would some be locked and others unlocked? It doesnt make any sense, the vibrant has only been out since July.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Well I can get into download and recovery on my phone easy. Now a fried just bought on and the same methods I use to get into those modes do not work period... so yes, some are locked... :d
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
Whether they are defective or locked the fact of the matter is yea there is such thing, people are not imagining it.

Take me for example My first vibrant was fine...my jackass friend knocked it out of my hand and chipped very tiny piece of the fake chrome bezel. I only had for week so I returned and said it had issues.

I made sure I could access recovery with new phone before exchanging. They only had 2 left both with Sept date. Powered it up and no go, tried couple more time and still nothing...it was locked, we didn't even try 2nd one.

He ended up calling a friend at T-Mobile store in mall and had him look and see if he had any with the same date as the one i was returning "August ".

He had one and he had him test before i drove down....he did and he was able to access recovery, went down to mall and sure enough it was fine, able to get into recover first shot....so yes there is such think as "hardware locked" vibrants
[Vibrant General] masum73:
I have flashed a vibrant with a i9000S software but the radio did not work quite well. Since the two have different keys, now i cant get it to boot mode. i was able to get into recovery mode via ADB but all i can do is use vol to go up or down and not select an option. the device wont even get out of recovery mode.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Yes, some phones are locked. I had to get my Vibrant replaced, and was bitten by a different bug.

I went to my mom's and my niece locked my phone out by entering the wrong pattern incorrectly while it was charging (brand new phone, had to charge it... I typically don't use a pattern lock but since my first one was stolen....).

Now, the phone does not allow you to get into it using your Google Credentials.

Called T-Mobile and the woman said I'd have to send it in for a replacement because it's a "software glitch."

I asked her to try to factory reset it. She said her "researchers told her not to try it because it can brick the phone." We tried anyways.

Hold down both volume keys and power until the Vibrant logo comes up, then release.

Doesn't work. Hung up on her and went to a T-Mobile store. They tried for over 2 hours to factory reset this phone, and spend half the time on the phone with Tech Support to do it. You cannot access recovery mode on this phone. The other Vibrant here, that we checked, also cannot go into recovery mode. It boots straight up into the phone.

So:

1. Lots of Vibrants are unable to get into Recovery Mode/Download Mode

2. There is a bug in Android that will soft brick your phone if you or anyone enters the wrong pattern lock too many times - you will NOT be able to get back into your phone with your Google Credentials - at all. The phone will be useless.

Even though your phone can download emails from Google, and your sending them to yourself using the same login/password, you will not be able to authenticate your phone and unlock it.

Two pretty catastrophic faults, IMO.

When this next phone comes in (it will be brand new, like my first/second one - they're on backorder) - I'm immediately selling it, ETFing my account, and going to go phoneless (can use Google VOIP from a laptop/desktop over WiFi/Internet) and wait for a decent Win7 phone.

I doubt they will have such issues.

BTW, the Android bug I mentioned (not being able to unlock) has existed for 2+ years (since version 1.5 or before) and despite many people bricking their devices (and some devices being unable to hardware reset - like many Vibrants), Google has turned a blind eye to it, and keeps either closing the tickets or setting the priority to "medium" (Bluetooth functionality is critical, however - if you get my point).
[Vibrant General] Viper717:
For a long time i was under the impression that my phone was HW locked. i was on my last legs before sending out my phone for repair (im past the exchange date) so i called my carrier (Bell Mobility in Canada). They informed me i could do a restore through recovery mode -> to which i informed them that i could not enter after i had tried for 3 days previously. So the rep that i was speaking with advised me to do the following;

Turn phone off

Hold Vol+ & Menu & Power

Once screen displays Samsung release Power while still holding Menu & Vol+

Viola -> RECOVERY MODE

So, this got me thinking because if this got me into recovery mode -> download mode should be similar

Turn phone off

Hold Vol+ & Vol- & Menu & Power

Once screen displays Samsung release Power while still holding Menu & Vol+ & Vol-

Viola -> DOWNLOAD MODE

So, i thought my vibrant was hardware locked when infact it was simply just the wrong key combination to get into each respective mode. Not sure if i just wasnt reading some of the posts correctly or what but thats what worked for me.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
That doesn't work on T-Mobile Vibrants.

The phone simply shows the Vibrant screen, then goes black and goes back to the Vibrant screen...

Over and over again. It can do it until the battery runs out. It will never get to the Galaxy S Screen as long as you have that Power Button down.

The only reason yours worked is cause your phone is not defective like many of ours.

I think I'm going to make a YouTube video of me using my Google Credentials (from a computer) to send myself emails while the phone syncs them in the background, yet refuses to allow me to use these credentials to unlock my phone - as well as rebooting to the Vibrant screen over and over again when I try to get into Recovery to reset it.

Because some people on this forum really like to act like problems don't exist, and tend to think their ignorance or operator error invalidates other posters' posts.

Congratulations on not having a defective device, though!

I am trying to partition my SD card using ROMmanager. I have clicked "partition SD card" in the ROMmanager application and clicked through the menus. Then it reboots and takes me to the ClockworkMod Recovery menu.

What do I have to select in that menu? I get the impression that whatever I do in ROMmanager I have to redo in this menu, what use is the program then?

Hi

I have JPK and rooted as instructed here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=790686

but one of the first versions with BusyBox v.1.15.3, No LagFixes, No MoDs

When I run DDMS I see my device, but I do not see any processes (VMs).

I can see the logs and other status reports from the device menu.

File explorer is also empty.

Once I even managed to see one process (some app.installer), but never again.

Does somebody have similar issues ?

I have the same thing. The File Explorer problem is definitely caused by Busybox, you need to link ls back to /system/bin/toolbox. This doesn't fix the other problem though.

[General Questions and Answers] Aelemar:
Hello! I am fairly new to the android scene (to rooting/using roms that is) and well, I recently installed the Skyraider ROM and well, I quite love it (3.0 Vanilla RC3) and well, everything... is absolutely perfect... except the camera.

Now, I have done extensive searching and reading and well, supposedly there is a "koush's kernel" that fixes the camera issue...

My question is.. where can I find this "kernel?" I have spent hours searching online and well, I found a couple of files but none that actually worked.

Supposedly the fix is in ROM Manager, but under "koush" there is only a "test" kernel, which needless to say did not work at all and forced me to do a clockworkmod nand restore.

I looked on the CyanogenMod 6 that the camera works perfectly, and the kernel version is 2.6.32.15-ga81a44fkoush koushik-OSx86 #4, so I partly assume that would be the kernel I need to install, but I can't find it anywhere. The "test" one in ROM Manager is named similarly, except "...dirtykoush koushik-OSx86 #6"

Tried it... didn't work, at all.

Everywhere I look says that the fix is on ROM Manager, but unless I have missed something, it is not there...

Some help on this would be greatly greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!

I've played with a translucent background in the titlebar and it looked great on some backgrounds however in some cases the titlebar icons overlaying on busy backgrounds caused unreadable results.

With that said, I am still going to go forward making a translucent titlebar and will provide it as an option for everyone :). Probably using the same 50% translucency effects matching the rest of the rom.

Thanks :). Some of my previous rom users of Warm Donut and Warm Eclair will tell you my #1 goal is stability, speed and user experience. Glad you like it :).
