Here is the Fix

I was in this same situation last week. Here is how to get it back into download mode.

•Be sure the Samsung USB drivers for the phone are installed on your computer.

•Remove and replace the battery.

•Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable. The "phone-exclamation mark-computer" picture should display on the phone's screen.

•Hold the Volume Up+Volume Down+Power buttons down simultaneously.The screen should go blank, then the picture should appear again. When the screen goes blank a second time, release the Power button while continuing to hold the Volume Up+Volume Down buttons down
[Captivate General] Sledutah:
This is the only method that consistently works for me. I use the exact same method. The key is whatever picture (att, battery charge, etc....) comes up the second time and then goes blank, then release the power button.
[Captivate General] johnnyb138:
Thanks for the suggestions, I really do appreciate them. I just tried this a few times but still no avail. I tried it with two computers just to be sure and still nothing. I guess I really have bricked the seemingly unbrickable phone :(
[Captivate General] jameskever:
Have you tried Odin3?
[Captivate General] johnnyb138:
I can't get into download mode to even use odin3.

Have you tried using another USB cable?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdrans:
So basically, I registry hacked my PC so that I could update using the official 2.2 update in Kies for the Galaxy S.

Since I updated it, the phone has come unusable. Whenever it boots up I am plagued by force close messages (calendar storage, media, memo etc.).

I’ve tried getting into safe mode and hard resetting it. I can’t get either of these menus up. Tried holding down [vol down] key and pressing the power button, it just boots as normal when I do this.

Anyone have any ideas what’s wrong here?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobloat:
I have the same problem as well, except that I am in a Scandinavian country. I did remove the lagfixes, and the only thing left was the rooting. I heard that the USB disconnected and reconnected in Windows under the firmware upgrade. When the smartphone was booted up, it still appeared to be 2.1-update1. So I did a hard reset, and that's where it begun to be softbricked with all the looping crash messages ("The process X has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."), which are the following processes:

android.process.acore

com.sec.android.app.twlauncher

com.sec.android.provider.logsprovider

com.cooliris.media

com.android.calendar

com.sec.android.widgetapp.infoalarm

com.android.phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkrammer:
you have to hold down both [vol down] + [start] and then press the power button to start the phone in download mode. [vol up] + [start] and power to get into recovery mode. in all there are three buttons involved which have to be pressed all together. [start] is the big one on the front side of the Galaxy btw.

I had similar problems with the Kies update. So i wiped it clean, installed an old 2.1 version with odin and then installed on of the modifed 2.2 version from the development section here, also with odin. Now it works like a charm and with OCLF blazingly fast too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norcoryder:
I am experiencing the same problems...

how would i go about wiping the phone clear and back to the 2.1 version?

i only got the phone the other day and can barely use it now!

cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David Sebb:
Guys i didnt wanted to open up a new thread so ill go ahead with my problem here.

The question is about the Kies Registry Patcher so i can force Kies to show me the 2.2 update.

My native country is Macedonia, and i can see two options to pick from with the Kies registry patcher for my country. One of them is the current versions i have on my phone and its representing the 2.1 update 1 android version.

To what 'Spoof Product Code As' i should set the registry patcher considering my location to get the proper update for my phone ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docsavage7966:
Have you tried click settings on your phone then privacy then factory reset that should solve it
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] can6rxw:
Well, I had the same issue and here is what I did. I'm in Canada (not sure which thread my phone falls under as our Vibrant is not the same as the U.S. one) and my provider is Bell Canada. Well...what I did was this; I saw the update out there, so I connected through Kies, ran the update and waited nervously for it to boot. After it did boot, I got several Force Close errors, so I rebooted it. It came up more easily the second time. After it got done it's card scanning and crap, it was ready to go. BUT...I started getting random Force Close errors with different apps. I simply could not use ANY email app other than the GMAIL one itself, they just kept crashing. Handcent crashed too, but with a reboot would work. Well...this just didn't seem right as a college of mine did his at the same time and was working fine. So, today I did this; I copied ALL my useful data off the internal SD onto my external SD and then removed that external SD card. Then I formated the interal SD. Then I went and did a factory reset. After that, my phone worked perfectly! I put my external SD card back in and all is good now. Haven't had one error since. Now, before I did this, I'd get at least 1-2 Force closes per hour but I re-did my phone up about 3 hours ago now and like I said, no errors.

Maybe try this before you update

:

1: Save old data off of Internal SD

2. Remove External SD card (just to be safe)

3: Format Internal SD card

4: Apply Froyo update

5: Reinsert External SD card upon completion and sucessfull reboots

6: Part-tay!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spectre85:
Just make sure you do a cache wipe and a user settings wipe.....you should have already backed up your stuff so worst case you will just have to reinstall everything. HOLD down Volume UP button, Home button and power button all at once, it will boot into recovery mode, use the volume rockers to select wipe cace and then use them to wipe the user settings, reboot and should be good.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milancex:
Is there really any difference bettwen OliNex v0.70 and 1.4 or what's the newest version?

i meen why would people put new version, if the old one is doing the same thing?

and also, is it bad for my xperia x1 to install a 3 different custom rom for a DAY :) i am just checking which is the best one, and why when i install a new rom, old "NOW PLAYING" in windows media player stays?

what should i do, to install clean ROM?

Thank you
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draken Korin:
I'm not aware of an OliNex version other than 0.72 (except for the mfg spl of course), which hasn't been updated for quite some time

so if you found a v1.4 for the X1 post it here

to erase possible leftovers it's been reported to either flash a stock rom before flashing custom one ore using task29 (rom dev)

do some research and decide for yourself whether to try one of them or not

Best, DK
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milancex:
i have not found v1.4 olinex, i have 0.72 i'm sorry typing error, so what is the difference between your 1.0 and mine 0.72? (they have the same purpose)

hmm, okey, but how to install a stock rom? i know how to install a custom rom, just transfer to sdcard and boot with volume button down.. is it same for stock roms?(just rename it to kovsimg.nbh) where to find stock roms? when i install stock rom, will i still have olinex hard spl?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draken Korin:
0.72 = v1.0 :)

install stock rom = install custom rom

find stock roms either through reference thread in rom dev or here

hspl will not be removed as long as you don't flash back to stock spl

Best, DK
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milancex:
so, if i understood you, with mine 0.72 i can install stock and custom rom?

and you with 1.0 can install just custom?

and also, if i install stock rom, i install it the same way like custom one? (tranfer kovsimg.nbh to root of memory card and enter bootloader)

and if i install the stock rom like that, can i then install again custom one, i meen will my hard spl will delete or it's on the special memory of the phone? that i can't change with rom installations? thank you :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draken Korin:
correct

wrong, what I label as v1.0 is exactly the 0.72 that everyone uses

correct, you install stock like custom roms, either using sd or ruu methods

installing stock rom does not overwrite your hspl, so after stock you can flash custom roms right away, roms do not affect the spl as you said

Best,

DK

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modsoul:
Hi Guys.

Not sure if this is the right section to post under, so apology in advance if its wrong.

I was wondering if i could make my verizon number a google voice number. Like, release the number from verizon and get google to put it under my google voice account. That would mean that all my current contacts would become google voice contacts. The main advantage for me of this, is that i'd get missed call alerts even when i am in an area without cell phgone reception (ie work) through wifi.

Any advice appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
if you use wifi from your work you shouldn't be missing any calls. If you are you should return the phone....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbu:
I'm sorry, but that doesn't seem to make sense.

Use the search function
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncwildcat:
This is absolutely FALSE. cell reception has absolutely NOTHING to do with WiFi
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcall:
You can assign your Verizon number as the one that google voice forwards the call to; but dont think you can re-assign your VZW number to google voice.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanzer:
Also, you can set your vzw number to forward to Google voice for voicemail. Then, whenever someone calls and gets to your voicemail.. you should receive the missed call notification.

When you're phone doesn't have signal, the call should go to Google voicemail immediately and count as a missed call.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvit:
This is the explanation of how wifi will help.. The phone doesn't ring, You don't get to answer the call, but wifi lets you know you have a missed call our new voicemail.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
a much better explanation of what i was trying to say lol

What's the best app for finding and navigating hiking trails?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyon2wheels:
Search the market for everytrail. A lot of trails posted but of course could always depend on your area. Its pretty nice because it can just pull your location and show the nearest hikes to you.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
You might also look into mapping programs that will let you load arbitrary maps into the phone, such as scanned trail maps or topo maps. None of the options are particularly quick to set up, as you'll have to get maps into them.

If OSM has good enough maps, you could use something that'll cache offline maps of it. Often there are decent trail maps there, although I honestly don't see how people have the time to create them given the tools OSM gives.... Anywho.

Backcountry Navigator, Maverick and Orux are a few I found googling.

BackCountry Navigator is damn nice, I've been playing with it all day.. You can pre-cache maps from a bunch of different sources and it has a specific offline mode to use the maps later, all very easy to do. I have a question out to them about calibrating and importing a custom map, something that I'm not seeing in the program but maybe I'm overlooking it.. Like there's an area where I mountain bike and the topo maps are REALLY hard to read the trails as they seem to blend right in with the contour lines, but I have several great high level trail maps that I'd love to be able to use.
[Android Apps and Games] kot_as_kot:
OruxMaps is the most useful up to date. The essential feature is offline navigation, i.e. maps can be seen when there is no cell tower in sight. It is essential in the mountains (too high) in the forest (too far) and in high sea. Additionally one can switch the cell receiver completely off that gives more juice to GPS and actual navigation without recharge.

The tracks can be uploaded to pop track sites including google maps. The only deficiencies I know of: UI requires some learning, stats charts can't be exported (particularly important for high profiles)

[Desire General] tp-archer:
Here's a tough question - not necessarily difficult to answer, but difficult to ask correctly.

Is there any possibility to change the "sound type" of a particular program without actually having access to the program source code (e.g. via an external application/setting)?

By "sound type" I mean the value which is shown when you use the side volume keys while the program is running. E.g. when playing music and you use the vol+/-, it will display "Media volume", when in the Home screen and you use the vol+/- it will say "Ringer volume" etc.

I'm using the Desire as my main in-car device. The sound goes over Bluetooth to a Motorola T505 handsfree/FM transmitter and from that one to the car radio via FM (yes, old car radio, no built-in Bluetooth).

The reason for which I need to change the sound type is because if they sound types are different, they can be adjusted independently - i.e. music volume to 50% and ringer volume to 30%, so that I don't get a heart attack when the phone rings.

The problem is that my navigation software (iGo Amigo) and HTC Media player both seem to use the "Media volume" designation for their sound output, so I cannot adjust them separately. This results either in listening to a very loud navigation or to low volume music. Other navigation software have their sound type as "Alert volume", so they can be set separately.

Any idea how/if this can be changed somehow? The Desire is completely stock, unbranded, running 2.2 and the latest OTA updates.

Thanks!

LE: in more elevated terms, this is the thing (well, the other way around) - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2744752/enable-media-volume-slider-in-android-application
[Desire General] AndroHero:
does igo not have an internal volume adjustment? i know copoilot does, so i can set my media volume to full and then adjust the actual volume level off the app independently
[Desire General] tp-archer:
None that I could find, it seems to be stuck with some default values (iGo MyWay 2009).

Wondering if in Android there's an iGo configuration file similar to sys.txt on WinMo... might be able to set it there.

[HD2 General] jorkobe23:
I'm about to buy hd2 but a shop only sells t-mobile hd2.

I'm wondering if I can use the roms for leo hd2.
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
You can use custom roms found here on XDA on a tmobile HD2.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you can use MOST custom roms on the tmous.

@OP the tmous will only take roms that are v 2.x or higher, so that means none of the non tmous stock roms (which include a deadly radio anyway) and no cooked roms that are based on 1.x base roms. Read the roms thread, they generally cleary say that they are tmous compatible, most are.
[HD2 General] jorkobe23:
Oh , thank you for good information:)

Then, t-mobile one is faster than international one? since it has 1 gb rom and 512 mb ram
[HD2 General] Tachi91:
I flash whatever ROM I find.... Since the onces that are not cmopatible with th US Version would normally have something like this at the top of the post

DOES NOT WORK ON THE US HD2 or something...

So i'll avoid those.... But it helps to read the entire post, .50 radios are compatible. any other Radio version wont work...

Just a thought.... Most rom are just that...ROMs not a combination of (ROM/Radio) like the ones issued from T-Mobile and HTC

Edit: All the HTC HD2 / LEOs are the Similar in Speed.. The only major difference is the ROM(storage) Spaced Where as the US Version had 1G all the others only have 512MB
[HD2 General] calc:
You forgot one major factor....

If you live in USA you'll most definitely want the T-Mobile edition anyway because the international version won't give you 3G/HSPA+. That's if you plan on purchasing the data plan.
[HD2 General] Tachi91:
T-Mobile US 3G/H requires the 1700/2100 Frequency
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no, a bigger fuel tank doesn't make a car go faster,,,, morerom just means more storage, not more speed.

unless you are on at&t in which case you want the international version.

**DUMMY PROOF INSTRUCTIONS!**

If you already have launcher pro:

1) goto your homescreen.

2) menu key, add.

3) hit shortcuts and then activities.

4) scroll down to device management

5) select "com.wssyncmldm.wssAppDmUiMain" and hit ok

6) this will put a shortcut on your homescreen that will say device management with blue and red arrows.

7) open that shortcut up and hit software update.

if you don't have launcher pro or don't know what it is.

1) goto the market.

2) search "Launcher Pro" or "Federico Carnales"

3) look for a yellow icon with a house on it.

4) install that.

5) once installed hit your homekey. select launcherpro but don't select use as default until you fall in love with launcherpro ;]

6) then, follow the steps above

Is this for all countries or just the current?
[Vibrant General] connnn:
I'm pretty sure its just for the states.

however i was messing around in the settings of that shortcut... and it apears that you can mess with the DM server connection settings and you can mess with a bunch of stuff... so maybe if you change the APN to whatever carrier you are using it would work??

Try it. follow my steps above. goto settings then DM connection settings and edit the network profile apn settings.

This might lead to other cool stuff down the road as well... there are some really cool settings in that shortcut. you can change it to "lab" and "production" profile... so maybe we can get a leaked froyo a little early?? :D

EDIT:::

Maybe I spoke too soon?

It worked for me on my phone and my stores demo vibrant... any body else try it?

[Vibrant General] connnn:
the wssappdmuimain is the first shortcut. Just select it and say ok. It should place a shortcut on your home screen that says device management with a blue and red arrow. Then open that shortcut and hit software update. :cool:
