[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
Samsung should cover any update through Kies. For some reason they decided to disable OTA updates on the SGS. Bad move IMO. While your HTC Desire using friends get OTA updates which preserve your installed apps and data, Kies, if you're lucky enough for it to pick up the phone in the first place will blank your phone.

Horrid, horrid software. I actually am more tolerant now of itunes thanks to kies.

And to add insult to injury, it wouldnt even uninstall properly either. :rolleyes:

i tried (i think) all combinations vol up + pwr, vol up + pwr + home ....

i guess it's service time

or maybe someone comes with one lucky trick :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jean2323:
you're lucky!

i read you can fix it with odin and adb ... to tired now to find the thread

i installed froyo, it worked ... but i had an issue with market; i rebooted the phone and that was the end :)

it's good someone is warning people to check the 3 button thing before upgrade
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uss_Defiant:
if you find it please let me know, I had no luck, just flashing rom's like mad now... and actualy it gets to the galaxy s animated screen now if i flash a froyo rom lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jean2323:
i had the animated screen from the begining

how do you flush the rom?

oh ... you can get to the download mode? lucky :)

for all it does me as I cannot get past that... anyone have the adb link? The phone also lights up the capacitive touch buttons after the animated screen
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brownstone:
Make sure when you're flashing the ROM with Odin, that you tick the repartition box. Read back over this thread and follow my instructions. It worked for me using JG5 and repartitioning.

Let us know how you get on.

BS...

[Droid X Accessories] silerj:
New owner of a Droid X here. I am loving the screen size and think it is an excellent phone (replaced my iPhone 4). I'm a bit worried about the camera bump in my pocket. I carry the phone with the screen facing my leg. The bump seems like an easy target for a table corner, or car door etc. I didn't notice this issue with my Droid 2 which the X is replacing.

Do you all have any suggestions for protecting the camera while in my pocket without adding too much bulk? Does it actually need impact protection?
[Droid X Accessories] jgraham4598:
I've had my X for three months now with the phone in my pocket, screen against my leg and have yet to have a problem.
[Droid X Accessories] djtoonjr:
yeah same. i think u should be more concerned about breaking ur screen than the camera. have the screen facing ur leg at all times. and the camera out. cuz when u reach into ur pocket, u can just use the camera as a handle to get it out. :D haha
[Droid X Accessories] bgs_piece:
So, did the X replace the iPhone 4 or the Droid 2?
[Droid X Accessories] xmetl:
im confused. first you say the droid x is replacing your iPhone 4 then you say it is replacing your Droid 2. lol which one is it replacing?

One thing for sure here the iphone was replaced by an android phone

Nearly any of the cases would give you that extra 1 or 2mm which may help as well.
[Droid X Accessories] indypacer:
Don't worry about the camera. It seems like it'd be susceptible to damage but it's really not. I'm sure if there were enough force it'd be damaged, but I've smacked the camera on corners, dropped it on pavement, and all sorts of things where I thought "crap there goes the camera." No damage. The whole thing is built pretty solid.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
You're in recovery mode right? I rooted before the tmobile update so I used the original method not the one you're using. I assume that for the most part you need to have your phone in recovery mode.

The /system/ directory is read only unless you're in recovery and I believe that's were that method attempts to write. You usually only get that message when you attempt to write to the system when not in recovery.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dialbat:
Thank you, but there is not a single word about puting phone into recovery mode in the instructions. Unless they mean it my default :)

i will try though.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Yeah, some steps are left out in certain 'common' tasks like rooting. It's assumed to be common knowledge or that if you don't know to automatically do a step then maybe you shouldn't be attempting it. At least that's the feeling I get sometimes but that's why it's important to search and ask if you don't find the answer.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarist5122:
Recovery mode is not necessary, nor possible at this point. The phone just needs to be on and connected with adb. No steps are left out (I've used this method), you just need to make sure you follow every step exactly.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueltherocker:
If it's under/system, you need to be in recovery. I rooted with the original method though, so I can't really tell you much.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
:confused: You're kidding about recovery mode right? I really hope so or that you stated that wrong... wow...:rolleyes:

In order to write to ./system on the mytouch 3g slide you

HAVE

to be in recovery. Not saying this method has to be in recovery or not because I never used it. Just thought I'd throw out the suggestion to try it just in case it needs to be.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dialbat:
Well, i've followed steps to the point. I have rooted my phone before, so even though i am a newbe, i do have a general idea of the process.

But i have no idea why it just won't work for me.

I have tried putting it into recovery using loop script, otherwise it just states that it's in recovery and still won't let me write to it :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarist5122:
Why would I be kidding? It isn't necessary to be in recovery to push files to /system. I know since I've rooted my phone twice from a fully booted state (which is necessary to toggle the wifi).
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Hmm... Allow me to copy and paste a few lines from that thread, written by the developer:

1:After many long hours of trying to restore my phone, I have now ported the exploid exploit to the MyTouch Slide! This means that you can gain root on any version of the Slide, INCLUDING the latest OTA! However, this isn't necessarily "easy" as in the One-Click Root program, but there are reasons for this. While Android is running we cannot write to /system and even if we force Linux to let us, the NAND protection will prevent Linux from completing the write!

2:Important: If you do nothing after step 12 then you are not "rooted." This program grants itself root permissions in a shell, that is ALL. If you want system-wide root access (what most people consider "rooted"), you MUST flash a custom ROM since the NAND protection on our device prevents us from giving global root access while inside the ROM. When following Eugene's instructions on flashing ENG, make note to NOT run the command 'su' if you already have a pound symbol (#) at your command prompt!

Basically, this 'root' method is actually a program that allows you to flash the ENG package to give you root. By itself, the program does nothing but allow you to operate inside the shell as root for a short time. Sort of like the 'sudo' command in linux - at least from what I can tell.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarist5122:
I'm aware of what the developer said. I'm also aware that I disregarded not having the phone booted since it would be a little tough to toggle wifi without being booted. If you don't believe it can be done, do a nandroid backup and unroot your phone and try rerooting. Pushing exploid and do the root whole process before flashing the eng-build while booted. Or just take my word. Personally I figure out for the life of me how anyone toggles the wifi (which is one of the steps) if not fully booted.

I don't argue just to be right. I just don't want people to be given incorrect info and never solve their problem. Rooting and can be frustrating on this phone if your not too familiar with rooting or using command prompt.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
I wan't saying the files can't be pushed while it's on, I've done that before but NAND will undo or not complete it once you reboot. It's the same reason that you can't delete a system app while the slide is booted - well you can but it will still be there, and once you reboot the delete is undone - unless you're in recovery.

All I was saying is that it's not a permanent write to the system, if that's where it's even being pushed and he still has to flash the ENG build to gain full root. I think this guy needs to just redo the steps, maybe read the old root methods to gain some insight too. It might help.

btw, I think there actually is a command to toggle wifi through adb, not sure if it does much in recovery or not. Also, not a chance in hell am I going to unroot - it was a pain in the a** catching my phone in recovery even when I used the loop.bat file:D
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarist5122:
Good to know that's why my apps didn't stay deleted.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thainfamous20v:
I came across this thread while trying to understand why my rooted phone won't let me pull or rm from a terminal emulator. The way I rooted my phone was by flashing an update in recovery. Does anyone know of a file that would unroot by using the same method in recovery?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
rm, rm -f or any other commmands will not work with terminal emulator because in order to use that program you phone has to be on, and since we can only write to the /system in recovery I'm sure you see what I'm getting at. You can still pull from the /system when the phone is on. The command isn't 'pull' though, it's:

cp <path to file> <location to copy to>

As far as the unroot thing, use the search bar [slide rom bible].
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PunkRockJesus:
just found this thread while looking for a solution to the OP's problem (same as my own).

If my phone is ON, usb debugging ON, Charge Only, i cannot push exploid to /sqlite_stmt_journals.

this is what i did:

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals

failed to copy 'exploid' to '/sqlite_stmt_journals': Read-only file system

i tried to follow the directions as closely as possible. can someone please tell me where i'm going wrong here?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarist5122:
Its been so long since i used that method and rooted i cant quite recall. But it does look like you need to change the path to c:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools

Command prompt is picky about using / or \
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
No, windows uses \ for local and local network file paths, it only uses / for remote locations and networks.

I'm not sure if this would work without already having root (I received my phone already rooted, never had to do it)

In command prompt, try

adb remount

You can also try this:

adb shell mount -o rw,remount /sqlite_stmt_journals

See if any of those work. Like I said, it may not, since those might be things that need root.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickmasta:
Any updates on this? I cannot push the file either. And "adb shell mount -o rw,remount /sqlite_stmt_journals" does nothing.
[Vibrant General] eol2501:
I dont have a data plan so i installed the JI6 update manually using kies, this caused a problem because i had deleted some of the bloat ware prior to this. after the phone rebooted i would get a media file error that wouldnt stop poping up, so i factory reset the phone.

this did a few things first of all i lost root, but the JI6 update is still there. so i rooted the phone again and tried deleting the bloatware, using apps like androidmate the file gets deleted but comes right back. through the terminal the files display a read only warning.

i know root is working properly because the SU command works

so im wondering if JI6 has gotten locked down and im screwed or do i need to find a new way to root the phone?
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Samsung decided to mount /system as a read-only FS. I've heard Root Explorer and Titanium Backup for Root users can get rid off the bloat. I personally, use a custom ROM that on top of deodexing the stock ROM and getting rid off bloatware, also mounts /system as read-write.
[Vibrant General] eol2501:
root explorer is a pay only app, TB does not work it has no options to uninstall apps.

so i guess my only choice is to flash the rom, where can i find the necessary info?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulomario77:
Hello fellows,

I recently bought a rubberized hard cover case cover for my SGS. It turns out that the cover is so rigid that makes it very difficult to press the Power botton. I then started looking on the Market for an application that allowed me to lock the screen using another button (or the touchscreen) rather than the Power button.

Here's what I found: LockEnabler, http://www.appbrain.com/app/lockenabler/app.lockenabler

However, in some situations, the screen timeout settings are reset, and I suspect it is due to LockEnabler. So here's the question: does anyone know of a similar application that works on the Galaxy S without issues?
