Complete FRIED my Brand New Samsung Galaxy T-Mobile. (Eclair 2.1) CSC:I9000GTMUJG1 I can not return as I am deputed outside country. Previously I was using Nexus one. I always read minute details but your First page post is misleading. I did check the dump and it said e-fuse at the end. After update.zip flashing my Phone did not turn on. It was completely blank. I have tried every option.

This method is not Brick Proof. Any Help?

I took it to repair shop and he said: he will take the motherboard out and solder the chip with 16 connection and then use JTAG/JIFF to restore the Bootloader. Any one has restored the bootloader using this??

Please change the first post to even with e-fuse this method can brick your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rubbishonly:
dumb question

perhaps this is a very dumb question but im kinna new since galaxy s is my first android phone =)

im pretty sure my phone has 3-button locked since i tried to press VOLDOWN + HOME + POWER and i didnt get the little android robot and i started up my phone instead...

i want to do the fix, but i dont get the step 2.1 where i have to open the command prompt... do i open it in windows? coz after i typed adb shell in command prompt it just doesnt work

my pc: win7 ultimate (x64)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dvance:
Hey, there is a high probability that you brick your phone esp. considering you seem to not have an idea what you're doing. I would rather suggest you get the hardware jig that's been described in one of the other forum threads.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ian_Cog:
Mine bricked, following the update.zip route.

It was a UK Orange branded, but previously flashed with XXJM1 & OXXJM1

This is the third one I've bricked trying to get the 3 button combo working. I was hoping this time, with all the good reports, it would work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NXJeff:
Im using JPE hk firmware, getting into recovery mode, after I selected Update.zip, then It show up warning. "Invalid signature. Installation aborted."

Anyone can help? But i saw many people here have bricked their phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
you need to be on Recovery 2e for this to work (Android 2.1)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
I'm looking into the Orange FR problem and other non-working phones as I already have a "bad" PBL dump.

Can someone who successfully applied this FiX (ON AN E-FUSED PHONE - NOT U3) post their .dump file ?

In order to to this, get root acces and then type inside a terminal:

adb shell

su (a superuser request will be displayed on the phone screen, accept it).

dd if=/dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/bml1.dump

The dump will be copied to the root of the internal SD card.

Please post/attach the file, here

Thank You.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NXJeff:
Hi RazvanG,

Thank you for you quick reply, but do you mind to tell me what is Recovery 2e?

I'm using froyo with hk firmware.

I9000ZSJPE

not sure can be applied or not?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
not on stock froyo, no

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] puiuflorinel:
There it is: bml1.zip

E-Fused from Orange Romania, unbranded but locked.

It worked on my phone, after applaying update.zip got 3 key comb working.

I tryed also to revers the proces: update with the old bml4 and it did lose the 3 key comb. Just verify this for eventual warranty issues. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
Thank you .. :D

I already got a few dumps earlier.

Will use yours to double-triple-check.

RazvanG
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vinclar:
Just to let you know we(Lorse & I) detected three differents boot.bin(bml1) using Beyond Compare, maybe each kind of bml1 needs a different update.zip?

Think that would be smart make specified update.zip for each boot.bin with good sbl.bin

Type A

Is exactly the same as Richthofen fix

CODE_I9000XWJM2 FOP

I9000XWJP6-REV03-ALL-low-CL618121 I9000 Open Markt Froyo

CODE_I9000BGJM1 MOVISTAR

Type B

CODE_I9000XWJG3

CODE_I9000XXJF3_REV03_LOW

Type C

OXA CODE_I9000XXJE3_REV03

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
Thanks for the info

.. but there is only one type of SBL available (with the 3-button combo fix enabled), that's why my new project aims at reflashing the PBL to a working/compatible one before applying this fix.

Redbend can't properly flash both files without bricking the phone and that's why for those with "x0" dumps, I will provide this fix in a 2-step process, in the near future.. that's why:

// someone with a "bad" dump (x0) willing to help the project and brave enough to take a leap of faith, please PM me.

Razvan Ghituleasa.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rubbishonly:
honestly speaking this is my first time flashing a rom, or even close to flashing one. i just wish to check if my phone is capable of unblocking the 3 keys, if it isn't i'll just get someone to do it for me with a price.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
This method is 110% SAFE as long as you read/follow the 1st post and check your BML1 dump before flashing the SBL FiX :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vinclar:
I will look in those sbl.bin if they work because there are more than three types.

In Which string I have to look?

Maybe this string is the one that says don't go to downloadmode to the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ian_Cog:
That's also a false statement. I did check. It bricked.

Also, the check within the BML1 dump has been changed. It was all about eFused or U3 yesterday.

I think it's a little unfair to make the 110% SAFE claims, then start changing things as more and more people brick their phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
I know it was about the U3 and/or E-Fused and I'm sorry.

Is it 110% safe as of today with the new checks ( !@ / x0 etc. ) since I got hold of new infos regarding the structure of the files.

You won't brick if you follow the updated method.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
Just compare your diff SBLs with the one provided in my FiX ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ian_Cog:
Too late for me now :(

I have a replacement coming tomorrow and I'll have to start everything all over again :rolleyes:

Guaranteed, it'll be locked to Orange (UK) I need to change this sharpish as I run dual SIM.

Fairly sure it will be 2.1 with bloatware.

Certain not to have 3 button combo mode.

So, in what order should I apply my changes and which Froyo release should I go with (assuming I can get the 3 button mode working without bricking it)?

On top of all this, I'll need to use update.zip or Odin, as Kies refuses to work on my Win7 PC.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
1st of all, root your device and backup /efs

Then SIM-Unlock your mobile (nv_data.bin method)

After that, dump the BML1 Partition, check it and enable the 3-Button Combo (using Update.zip from Recovery 2e)

Then, flash JM9 using Odin3 (pit .512 and re-partition ON) and after that flash the JPA ROM (JPA_JP4_U_JPP.tar) as PDA (pit .512 once again but re-partition OFF)

..now enjoy your SIM-Unlocked, 3-Button FiXed, Froyo running Galaxy G
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vinclar:
Raz to know that a sbl.bin is neutered have to look this string? The one that says non secure Boot Version?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
I'm looking into it but I don't have any other SBL to compare it to.

Even a non 3-button combo "working" SBL is *theoretically* capable of entering Download Mode or Recovery so I'm not sure what to look for exactly.

Working on it but I have college tomorrow morning ..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mefistofelis:
I have disable the OCLF and although i am rooted i cannot copy the update.zip file to the root folder, anyone knows why?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ian_Cog:

Of course, if it doesn't work I'll hunt you down an use your innards as Tuna bait ;)

I have a working 3-button combination (always did), but my phone has the x0 thing. Are you sure about this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] achiles01:
2RazvanG> thanks. it work perfectly - vodafone brand (czech republic)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
Can you please dump your SBL (BML4) ?

It may be the one we're looking for, compatible with the x0 PBL (BML1) and also 3-button enabled.

HOW-TO DUMP: ROOT Needed

Open a new command prompt and type:

adb shell

su (a superuser request will be displayed on the phone screen, accept it).

dd if=/dev/block/bml4 of=/sdcard/bml4.dump

The dump will be copied to the root of the internal SD card.

Ok, SGS from Romania, Orange has noW the possibility to start in download mode :-)

Thanks much much Razvan!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rubbishonly:
actually my original question was how to check the BML1 dump, because i didn't get the part where i had to open the command prompt

i did try to open it in windows, i don't know if that was the right thing but it didn't work

so please give a more detailed version of step 2.1 regarding dumping the BML1 =)

Does this work with Vodafone România? I have a friend wich has a vodafone sgs without 3 buttons. I bricked his phone once, but he got it reflashed, so no void warranty.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ian_Cog:
I'm not having much luck these days.

My replacement phone arrived nice and early. I put in the battery and backplate on then booted it up. Of all things, it had the 3 button combo working. I've not had this in the previous 3 SGS I9000 phones I've had. (Don't ask, it's all documented on the board somewhere!).

Excellent, I thought. Shut it down, popped the back off and took the battery out. I was just about to put in my SIM card when I noticed one of the gold SIM contacts was missing. There's no way it would work and it didn't. It couldn't read a SIM card.

Gutted :(

Here's hoping the one arriving tomorrow is also 3 button combo enabled. It would certainly lower my stress levels when it comes to upgrading. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
no need to use command prompt or adb as long as your phone is rooted. just download a terminal emulator from the market then type 'su' to get superuser access and then the command to dump the file and u'r good to go.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
as long as you check the PBL dump for the '!@' before flashing, this method is 110% safe and working.

just for the record .. I did this today on 2 phones from Vodafone RO and all went fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
So sorry to hear that :(

I hope you'll get a good one tomorrow since I can't emulate a golden SIM pin :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] onelargeprawn:
I'm not very technically minded so I always approach these things with some trepidation. I was a little hesitant about using ODIN and spotted your 110% fix. I'm happy to say it worked brilliantly.

Hi Cracks,

This fix is not helping on SGS with german Vodafone firmware

PDA: I9000BUJM4

PHONE: I9000BUJM3

CSC: I9000GVD2JM3

The fix is installing right, like you said and all steps will be done. After reboot the 3 button combo doesnt work. Only the recovery mode works. But this from the beginning also without your fix.

What can i (we) do now?

sadly

chris
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
This fix ONLY works if your 3-button combo is completly disabled from the factory.

firmware, that is about to hit the world in this days, this FIX will still work ? or I

will have to apply the patch again ?

Thanks in advance, and grettings from Argentina :P

I AM A BIG BOY NOW!!! :)

So I wanted just a deodexed stock version of JI6 and s0niqu3 provided one but it was unstable so I took it upon myself to make one myself.

I have ran it for several days with no problems HOWEVER it does freak out easily once you start making changes. I figure that the apk's or what nots are still depened on each other and someone needs to go in a fix that stuff. AND I am not that somebody :)

Or if you can show me some quick pointers I wouldnt mind figuring it all out.

Hope this helps!

PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE...you know the song and dance...

Also Its made to be installed w/ Clockwork and it ALSO includes the JI6 modem.

Hi,

I think I might have Bricked my Samsung Captivate, I cannot get my phone to boot any further then the reovery mode menu, I can't get my computer to reconize my phone, I can't ODIN to reconize my phone, I've been reading everything I can find, and trying everything I can, but I am still unable to get it to do anything except boot into recovery mode. Is there anything else I can do or try?? Any help would be great, Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Unplug the USB, pull the battery. Then put the battery in. Hold both volume keys down and plug in the usb cable. If you see a yellow icon with the android dude in it, congratulations, you're in download mode. Now use odin to reflash your firmware.
[Touch HD General] goldsfool:
Hello all,

I bought the HD a couple of months after it first was released and have never had this problem until about 3 days ago, where my phone has started to suddenly "die" even with ample battery life in it. When I reboot it, it simply starts to reboot then dies again as if the battery is dead, however, when I plug it into the charger, it shows that it has over half to almost full battery life. So the problem can not be that the battery is simply dying. What could be causing this problem? I have ample free main storage and program memory and it occurs even when there is only one program running or even when I'm just in the middle of a call.

Can anyone help me solve this problem? I have tons of medical programs in my phone which took forever to install and don't want to hard reset the phone, especially if that is not even the solution to the problem. Help?
[Touch HD General] paspa86:
Same thing happened to me, but my phone gets some water. I had to dry it and wait a month. Then it worked fine. If your phone hasn't took any water the problem must be elsewhere.

One question, it dies even if attached to the power? or only on battery?

If it dies only on battery then could be the battery not working properly.

bye
[Touch HD General] handsomedog:
Batteries do weird stuff when they're dead. If it works OK on power but not on battery, chances are the battery is indeed on its way out. If you don't want to do a hard reset, a replacement battery on ebay is cheap and worth trying.
[Touch HD General] littlewhitedog:
Hello,

I have exactly the same behavior. I changed of Rom, different build, each time running Task29, but it is always the same thing :

- when charged, phone never dies

- when on battery, it randomly dies but always when phone is awake

I think too it may come from the battery, so I just ordered a new one, and I'll keep you up to date.

Ciao,
[Touch HD General] goldsfool:
Yea, so far it has occurred about 4 times, always when it's not plugged in however the battery meter shows alof of battery time left. I'm thinking it's the battery too, it just sucks to have to pay so much for an OEM battery. Oh well, thanks for the help everyone.
[Touch HD General] littlewhitedog:
Hello,

so I received my new battery this morning.

After some phone calls and some tests...so far so good ! I'll tell you if something's change in the next days, but it seems changing the battery is the solution.

Cheers,
[Touch HD General] marksm:
Mine started doing similar things. Guess I will order a battery too. Which one did you get?
[Touch HD General] littlewhitedog:
Well I got the exact same one I had previously : an official htc touch hd battery.

Part number : 35H00120-01M.

I hope this one will last until I really want to change my phone ;).
[Touch HD General] marksm:
Any more issues since replacing the battery?
[Touch HD General] littlewhitedog:
still no issues so far. I am really happy because as the battery is new, my phone last much longer than before.
[Touch HD General] marksm:
Same here. Got the new battery yesterday and it's back to it's old self. Now it should last me until the dual core processor Android devices come out next year.
[Touch HD General] ANTO_AN:
Well it would be nice if my pnone only turned off when it wasnt on charge but it seems to just reset itself whenever it wants. it will simply turn off and start right back up sometimes not even reaching the rom load before it turns off again. It does this for a while or just simply once. I tried erasing all data off it and hoping it was something i uploaded but it could be that my battery is just no good anymore.

Any suggestions? ive been dealing with this for 6 months
[Touch HD General] littlewhitedog:
I don't know about you, but I played quite a lot with my phone, trying a lot of ROM, for a while, even beta ones, and I tried to overclock it. Often the phone would heat up a lot. It may have be hard on the battery.

Right now I am using a stable rom of NRG from last month, with the new battery, and everything is fine. The phone never heat, and I happy for now.

Like Marksm, I am waiting for Android dual core phones or at least based on Tegra 2.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
As pointed out in above posts, a change in battery appears to have rectified issue
[Touch HD General] ANTO_AN:
been there done that. Didnt work, i got a new phone but i would really like to keep this.
