[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koider:
You said earlier that you have a class 6 SD card, so you should be getting at least 6MB/s. Do you have something other than your phone that you can test your SD card in, for example a card reader? That would help you to work out whether the problem is with your SD card or the phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] littlej:
if u can recomend me a software to test it in windows 7 x64 i can test it in my laptop
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] littlej:
Hy, well problem is solved for me. I have tested the card in laptop and i was geting a 2mb/s write and sometimes jumped at 3-4mb/s max. So i sent it back, and got an A-data 8gb class 6. I pluged it straight into phone, recorded a video and worked flawless, i installed android sd card speed test and i got a write of 6mb/s and 7mb/s read. Afther that i did an ext3 partition on it, and got same write and read speed, so problem was the SD card. Thanks.

Hi guys,

first sorry for my bad english.

I have a big problem to face with my N1

I wish to install a custom ROM, so I've rooted my phone and downloaded the Rom Manager apps from Market. I've flashed the clockwork recovery and downloaded the cyanogenmod. So I reboot my phone in fastboot mode, select recovery and now I have a black screen, nothing happens. My phone boot only when I take off the battery, so now I have no Recovery mode in my phone. Someone can help me please ?

I've already tryed to flash the original recovery and AmonRA recovery (1.7.0 and 1.8.0) from my PC but it fails everytime and I have this message => FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

My N1 is in FRF91 build, with a Vodafone ROM from France (SFR)
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
The recovery is dependant on which screen you have. You've possibly flashed an incompatible recovery...

Which screen do you have?

How are you flashing your recovery?
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Is the USB cable plugged in AT ALL? I keep hearing Clockwork is unstable if it is.

I stick with Amon myself.
[Nexus One General] ibolito:
I have an SLCD screen and i've tryed all clockwork recoveries featured in Rom Manager app and the latest AmonRA ( 1.8.0 )

But the problem is when i try to flash it with my PC by connecting the phone in fastboot mode, i allways have this message : FAILED (remote: signature verify fail) which means I can't flash any recovery :s

Do you know what is the problem ?
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Sounds like you flashed an incompatible recovery. You're heading in the right direction with Amon-Ra 1.8.0...

How are you flashing the recovery? (Since your current recovery has a black screen, are you using adb, trying to do it through Clockworkmod, etc?)
[Nexus One General] ibolito:
Yeah i've tryed to flash the latest clockwork recovery with Rom Manager, it works, i mean i can flash it this way but i have the same result : black screen. And flashing it with my PC using - fastboot flash recovery <recovery name>.img - code give me the failure message that i talk about on my last post
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
I've read a few posts about 1.8.0 failing with Clockworkmod, and I believe the adb and terminal methods require an unlocked bootloader. There are a few methods to flash custom recoveries without unlocking the bootloader (I still have a locked bootloader). Do a search, find one you like, and give it a try. Clockworkmod is one of those methods, but again, I've read problems with the 1.8.0 recovery on Clockworkmod...

[Nexus One General] ibolito:
thanks a lot for helping me by sending this link but as I said before, unfortunately I can't flash the recovery even with my PC, the only solution seems to make a bootloader unlocking, but I don't want to loose the warranty, i'll check other ways to do this without unlocking my bootloader, if someone know how to do this, i'll be thankful.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
The link also discusses how to flash without unlocking the bootloader, which is why I sent it... (see posts from September 27)
[Nexus One General] ibolito:
Yes but see what hapen when I try it =>
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
The locked bootloader discussion points to this, which suggests using terminal emulator from your phone...

[Nexus One General] ibolito:
thanks, I'm trying it immediately
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
...but with 1.8.0
[Nexus One General] ibolito:
Sure ? Not with 1.8.0.1 ? Because I have an SLCD screen
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
I meant 1.8x instead of the 1.7x they mention in the write up...

Also, you can ignore my comment about using terminal emulator, and use adb if you want (long day, and I'm tired)
[Nexus One General] ibolito:
I surrender, it doesn't work, and I'm tired of trying flashing a recovery. It means no custom ROM for me :'(
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Take a break, and come back to it tomorrow...
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
OK, back to basics...

What ROM do you have (build number)
[Nexus One General] ibolito:
Hi, so my build number is FRF91, I bought it from SFR (Vodafone)
[Nexus One General] RellikZephyr:
I thought with slcd screen, you needed to flash Amon ra 1.8.0.1. For it to work correctly. Maybe try that version before giving up

But also be careful, with slcd screen, you also need to make sure the custom ROM itself also supports that screen

Rellikzephyr
[Nexus One General] ibolito:
See what I have when I try to flash my recovery
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
I thought you said you didn't want to unlock your bootloader? If so, that's clearly not the way to flash it.

You have to push flash_image into the phone, have the recovery image on the SD card, have root, and as root run flash_image

It sounds like to me that you're not reading the wiki and various posts on how to do this.
[Nexus One General] ibolito:
I've tried many methods, I will try again tonight with the wiki, can you send me the link, please ? I'm not at home actually, so tonight I will able to do it immediately. Thanks

i thought this was interesting enough to share with the forum. PS. does anyone know if it's possible to have that puzzle based lockscreen on the EVO?
[Continuum General] Award Tour:
I don't know. Looks more like a gimmick than anything, not to mention that it's just another screen to provide power to.

As for the lockscreen, won't know till the ROM hits/leaks.
[Continuum General] SilverStone641:
i kind of assumed as much. i just wondered if there was a theme or other modification that someone had built.

as for the phone, it just looks TOO big to me! (i know, thats what she said)
[Continuum General] hungry ghandi:
Glad to see just more and more great android phones coming out though. Restriction to select hardware hurt apple in the past - I assume all the options will get android nabbing more and more of the marketshare, and bring in more innovators/apps. Still waiting on an android worldphone, though....

[Galaxy S I9000 General] fejth:
Just read a tweet from Eldar murtazin, who is generally well informed, and today he wrote sonething very disturbing.

Samsung seems to have stopped the production on the wave and the galaxy s due to super amoled screen shortage.

This is nothing short of a disaster for all of us hoping to see the galaxy s being supported with froyo and beyond i guess. (or even cyanogenmod for that matter...)

I really hope this is just a temporarely thing, just as with the droid incedible....what do you guys think?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pharaohdk:
cant produce the phone when there is no screens for it... so ofc they will once they have a stock
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stan28:
In this case, sell the phone. No big deal.

Sent from my GT-I9000M
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
this is their best selling phone, and the only real competition againts iphone

i doubt they will stop producing it completely

it'll just be on hold until they get more stock of SAMOLED

they did the same to HTC Desire

but instead of waiting for new stock HTC decided to use another type of screen

as soon as HTC did the change the Desire suddently became less desirable
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yiannisthegreek:
@allgamer

I hope you are right about that but this would explain why you cant find any SGS here in Edmonton or in Canada at all from what I understand which sucks if you brick and need replacement, etc.

Also, do you think that this issue will delay the FROYO release to those of us who already have the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fejth:
according to Eldar, they sold their last batch of SAMOLED screens to Apple, who is making a product for next year with our screens in it!

now, i really hate Apple!

they see that retina alone isn't enough, so close the deal with Sammy!

i hope this won't kill Samsungs ambitions to become the biggest brand above Nokia!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
yes, they are mostly back ordered even in Toronto as well, the sales are good, it's like iphone always sold out.

froyo has nothing to do with the factory side

froyo will come when the coders are done fixing the bugs and get things working properly
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Don't worry about it too much.. Apple has product shortages all the time. More screens will be made. Really, don't worry about it too much..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xan:
"ANYMORE" is not the word! Why make such confusion?

Its a break in production due to shortage of SAMOLED screens.

Rename topic PLX
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
You actually believe that? Apple does it deliberately to make the product more desirable, simple as. They like to see people queueing up 12 hours before a product is launched outside of their shops, good publicity etc.

As the the Super AMOLED rumour, it is just that, a rumour, like most things I see written on the internet. Isn't it samsung who actually produce these screens? And there is a shortage? I dont buy it...

Then again though, I wouldnt trust samdung as far as I could throw them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mac-wac:
That would explain shortage of SGS in Poland.... Especially with one carrier that has best prices for it.... I'm searching this phone for about 1,5 months... :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
by the way, this can't be true anyways

else the new launch this month on Rogers network will fail completely if that was true

[Galaxy S I9000 General] nooomoto:
They will probably switch to the sony slcd screens
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
then it'll be a waste, it'll go the way the Desire did, and it will cease to be a Galaxy S

it'll probably be released as a new model Galaxy sub S :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
Have you seen a desire with the SLCD screen? I prefer them to the AMOLED ones, they are a genuine 480x800 resolution and look sharper, and the colours are not much different IMO. Apparently they are worse on battery power though, despite the claims to the contrary...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] distortedloop:
AMOLED or SAMOLED? The AMOLED (like the Nexus One) are pretty disappointing in the long run, SAMOLED (like the Galaxy S) hasn't disappointed me even after a few months of owning it.

Isn't the real "strength" of the SAMOLED screen the contrast ratios and the inky blacks...? Will SLCD ever be able to match that because of the back or side lighting needed to actually illuminate the screen?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Logicalstep:
It's probably just a shortage, they couldn't keep up with HTC's demand for it, and they probably can;t keep up with their own...maybe they didn't truly believe the SGS would be such a success ;)

Logicalstep
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chronos12:
I was told from the importers/Saturn that Samsung Galaxy S were empty and Samsung are going to make more Samsung Galaxy S. They told me that people were crazy for Samsung Galaxy S and that's why the stock were empty.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
the news and my phone store sources confirms the same, the SGS just sells really really good.

the 16 GB model is always the hardest to get, i did post a topic about it a while back

8 GB models are easier to find, but who would want less?

same reason why 8 GB are easier to find than the 16 GB models

now of course, for Cellphone carriers models those sizes are locked, you don't really get to chose

only the unlocked models you can choose to buy in 8 or 16
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Einride:
"Samsung's Super AMOLED is a variant of AMOLED technology in which the layer which detects touch is integrated into the touchscreen display rather than being overlaid on top. This results in a thinner device and improved outdoor performance."

LCD tech will never be able to match AMOLED blacks, but there's still the "issue" with PenTile RGBR matrix. Red font on black for instance? Looks horrible. Text in general is its achilles heel. Video, images (well, not B&W perhaps :p) and graphics looks amazing though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brunes:
I seriously doubt this. The whole hype behind SAMOLED was Samsung was going to EXCLUSIVELY make phones with it for at least two years, and since they own the patents on it, no one else will be able to compete. It would make no sense at all to sell it out to Apple.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fejth:
First of all, the title is RUMOUR, so don't blame me...

Second, There allready is another story going around of a STFT screens being assembled on the Samsung Wave for now, so who knows we might get one of those too, but my point of this whole post was to alert us.

When the galaxy s starts selling less units in the months to come, lets say 2-3 months, it will affect how big the community is around de SGS.

And the smaller the community is, the less chance we have for a lot of updates..

Not only the official ones, but also the XDA driven ones...

So i was hoping to get a few people on their feet, so we can make this phone one to remember, not one to forget...

To be honest; i remember my former two phones the most because there so much development going on for it, being the Nokia N95....(i know...symbian..) and the Xperia X1....wich luckily had the same guts as HTC phones, so i could run sense, and even android.

So please, let me just keep you informed whenever i get news, and dont flame the newsbringer....

And....erhm...DEVELOPMENT...DEVELOPMENT .....DEVELOPMENT !!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fejth:
Yes, you are absolutely true...thats what i thought i knew..

But from Apples standpoint it makes all the sense...

Buy out everything that is better than what you can come up with, and present it like it is your own!

One year from now:

Steve Jobs: 'So we took our magical Retina display, and merged it into this other wonderfull technology we have, and we call it SRETINA. Also we used our new Apple hummingbird A5 processor exclusively on the Iphone HD, coming EXCLUSIVELY on AT&T for the next two years.....So there Sammy....!'
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aylarth:
Jesus lives, and so does Santa Claus, Micky Mouse and Donald Duck.

Before you go to sleep, check out under your bed, maybe there are some monsters with several SAMOLED screens, lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] evil-doer:
thanks for the heads up. i just bought a 55 dollar replacement screen in case i need it in the future and the price goes up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Umm.. There are constantly shortages of electronics actually.. I wouldn't have run out and bought one..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Harts@J:
I bought SGS because of the screen. If this phone is the last with SuperAmoled or Amoled, there is no reason to buy any Samsung phone in the future.

If all (including Samsung) have SLCD or follower, my next phone would be HTC. I have one miserable Samsung TV, after that I made a conscious risk to buy another Samsung. If this rumour is true, I'll say goodbye for Samsung forever.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] echidna2001:
Samsung is not going to stop making OLED displays and I can't imagine they would stop putting them in phones. If they were going to do that it would seem a little silly of them to be opening a new factory next year.

I'd post a link, but I'm not allowed. Just google samsung and new factory in 2012
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AXIS of Reality:
Has anyone noticed the HUGE number of networks / countries / varieties the Galaxy S has and still is launching in?

It's no surprise that the Galaxy S would suffer shortages, as it has definitely been selling amazingly well and is available pretty much anywhere and everywhere phones are available. That would require a hell of a lot of phones being produced and shipped constantly, and from the looks of it demand is simply outstripping supply.

Just this month the Galaxy S is being launched on Telstra, 3/Vodafone and Virgin in Australia after its exclusivity period with Optus ended. I doubt it would be launching if production was stopping.

I agree probably the SAMOLED screens would be responsible for any production speed limits, but I am 100% certain Samsung wouldn't start replacing the screens with anything else after using SAMOLED as THE major promotion selling point of the phone.

Sony are responsible for producing the SLCD used in the Desire now, but do you really think Samsung would stop using their own products? I'm sure they're relying on the sales of the Galaxy S to assist in their new OLED factory opening to push manufacturing prices down on their displays so they can spread to other products (Galaxy Tab 2 with SAMOLED, anyone?).

I'm sure Sammy is pushing Galaxy S's out as fast as they can, hence the staggered launch of the various network varieties in the US, but I severely doubt their response to higher-than-expected demand would be to throw their hands in the air and STOP.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] VytautasK:
Come to Lithuania. They are everywere :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gllu:
The more interesting question is how much phones have they already produced and how much were sold? I am pretty sure SGS is already past the point where one worries about community support.

edit: Here's an article that suggest SGS will be at 25mil sold till end of the year... Mind blowing number!

http://www.daily2news.info/820/samsung-galaxy-s-why-were-twenty-five-million-units-sold-worldwide/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mac-wac:
I wish i could, but no spare time for such a trip ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mayuki:
Sammy are the only ones who makes S AMOLED screens, they obviously wouldn't sell there last (current) batch and lose profits by selling them to mapple unless mapple paid way over the odds for them.

Assuming that's the case, you have to wonder did they do it due to the huge sales of SGS? Low stock SGS=more iphoneys sold.

But then it makes sense the "pact" sammy made with them self to hold the exclusivity of S AMOLED on sammy products for 12 months after the launch of the SGS sort of fits in to the mapple product refresh cycle.

Or maybe sammy have totally given up on the SGS and its variants and going to prioritise the two screen SGS2?

I was using my phone as usual pandora, browsing, etc. I was connected to computer via usb and usb storage was on. I disconnected without turning off usb storage and immediately realized my mistake. android tripped out kept restarting and would barely make it past cyanogen splash before restarting again untill I pulled the battery. now that card will not boot haret loads but gets stuck on black screen with linux penguin. not just the build I disconnected usb from any build on sd is a no go.

so I backed up all my files on the sd card reformatted the card and restored files. still no go. now the same hyperdroid 1.6 folder I had on 16g card (first) is booting fine on another 8g sd card?

how can I restore my 16g? it functions fine in any other way. even backtrack 4 installation is booting when using as usb hdd(my phone is the micro usb adapter)

You may try deleting your data image and giving it a fresh one with a complete load. If you use titanium backup from market you can restore all your apps.

Hi ,

I know you probably will say to search the forum but i have and couldnt find anyhing.

Loads of froyo downloads but nothing what states WHAT to do to prepare the phone for froyo.

In the adroid q and a forum it says technically you dont need hard spl to get android.

So may someone kindly indicate which rom is required if required for froyo 2.2

Do i need anything else??

I tried to install froyo on my o2 htc hd2 with rom 1.72.206.3 with manilla 2.5.201... and radio 2.07.51 ....

It started and then a green and sometimes a line went down the screen and the orange charging light came on. So it was not sucessfull.

I will be so gratefull if someone indicates how to get Froyo Darkstone working.
