[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endege:
If you get the MD5 error it means that the downloaded PDA file got corrupted somehow. Redownload the PDA file and everything should be fine.

Yesss my phone finally up and working,i thank you for your advice and may GOD BLESS YOU and the owner of this wonderful thread
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dustee:
I'm from Egypt, who said you can't fix it ?, have you contacted "Union Group" ?.

By the way my phone is also bricked (bought it from UK) and I'm going probably tomorrow to their shop and I'll keep you posted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
If you can get in to download mode then you are good and can flash a firmware.

Sometimes you need to realy make the phone clean.

You do that in this way.

Flash a firmware with pit 512 and re-partition checked.

It don't matter what firmware.

Then restart the phone.

Do format the internal sdcard.

Reboot to recovery mode and wipe the catch and do a factory reset.

Then flash a the firmware you want with pit 512 and re-partition checked. If you don't have a full firmware ( pda. Cry. Modem) you must first flash a firmware that has this then flash the firmware you want with no pit and re-partition unchecked.

After all is done you still need yo format the internal sdcard and go to the recovery mode and wipe the catch and do a factory reset.

The phone should work now.

If it don't you and you have all steep correct then you phone is broken.

months ago i rooted my capy 2.1 eclair with update.zip file found on here and put it on my internal sdcard mounted on my mac....no more att crapware YE!!! :)

then i wanted froyo!!! i couldnt wait for samsung so i decided to flash my capy with a cognition rom ....froyo 2.2 nice!!!! :D

an hour later i booted to recovery mode and for some stupid reason i "reinstalled packages"...oh no!!! my capy is unrooted i cant access superuser privileges, i think its b/c the update.zip i lefted on sdcard unroot my phone :(

i didnt know what to do and i hate to read threads to find out...hmmmm maybe if i find a update.zip for 2.2 so i can root my capy again...BIG mistake update.zip files are not to be messed with

so i did a reinstall packages again, att white screen came up...goood, then galaxy S screen appeared and STAYED !!! with a off and on vibration...OH NOOO!!! OMG did i bricked my capy??? yep :(:(:(:(

BUT it goes to download mode!!! so i kinda knew there was still hope...:o

i read odin can unbrick phones but only work with windows and i m on a mac :(

but with windows xp in a virtual machine, ok lets try that....i tried with vm ware fusion, parallel and virtualbox and no luck connecting via usb :(

i dunno anyone with a PC and i dont want to buy one, no choice, gonna use bootcamp and go thru with it...i couldn't find my windows boot cd so i got one off craigslist... oh ****! apple wants windows xp WITH sp2! i only got the original xp. what imma gonna do...google....check this "Slipstreaming Windows XP with Service Pack 2" by Paul Thurrott (sorry i forget which VM was able to burn my cd with)

ok running windows xp sp2 on my imac, i followed this thread except i did not click on "clear master" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

[Captivate General] RKight:
If you still had access to download mode, it was never really bricked to begin with...
[Captivate General] bkjolly:
This has been a huge help my Cousin's Captivate is having issues on Cognition I'll do this tonight and I've been considering the Rom you're using and you just made up my mind flash back to stock, reroot, and flash that Rom.
[Captivate General] Kaik541:
not development related, not bricked (bricked means the phone won't turn on), this is the exact same procedure that's already been discussed over a million times on this forum.

if you can get into download mode and you have access to ODIN (or even heimdall) you aren't bricked. ODIN requires windows, heimdall does not. Installing windows through bootcamp is no different than just having a windows PC in the first place.
[Captivate General] egzthunder1:
Not really a dev thread but the user is simply sharing his experiences and how he solved an issue. Flaming him is not really necessary even if this procedure was already posted before.

[Captivate General] balishared:
kinda true but if you're a mac user without windows, you are bricked unless u have access to windows or you pay someone to fix your phone or buy a new one, cant return to at&t with a rooted capy!

sorry if i posted my thread in the wrong forum, i thought since i rooted my capy it should belong under development.

@Kaik541: thanks for the heimdall tip
[Captivate General] bedrmninja:
Lucky you

Im on MBP and trying the exact same process, but in Bootcamp when the phone is in download mode, ODIN would not recognise it through USB.

Not sure if it is Macbook thing. Had problem mounting it too when it was working.

Now im semi-bricked...... arrggggg

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spencer88:
OK here's my situation.

I bought the EVO back when it came out, then when 2.2 rolled out through sprint I did the OTA update. Shortly after that, I followed the 2-part video on youtube on rooting it, and I was successful.

I had some problems with the GMail app so I did the second OTA update (knowing I was going to lose root.) So here's my question. Do I need to go back and do the whole 2-part video on rooting my phone again? If so, how do I install the Custom ROM's listed on this site?

I've never did much with my evo until the 2-part rooting method on youtube, and I just followed the instructions.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

EDIT: when I followed the youtube video, I used Amon Ra recovery. I'm not sure if the latest OTA update affected that or not.

My security is off, here's what my phone says when I boot into HBOOT:

RADIO-2.15.00.09.01

Aug 19 2010, 14:29:08

But when I go to boot into recovery, I get a picture of a phone with a red exclamation mark next to it (I assume my Amon Ra recovery is either corrupt or missing, thanks to the last OTA update I did on my Evo)

I mean do I need to go through the whole rooting process over again, just as if I received a brand new Evo?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyeballer:
Just run unrevoked again so it can push a recovery image to your phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackulous:
Exactly what he said just run unrevoked 3 that's all there is to it any problem after that is likely an Id10t error
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spencer88:
I got it. I actually decided to run Unrevoked before seeing those last 2 posts :p

The first try of unrevoked didn't work, had to run it a second time, and bingo.

I just installed EViO ROM, and I love it!

Now i have another quick question, say if i want to flash a custom boot animation or another lock screen, I do that exactly the same way as I flashed the ROM, correct?

Thanks for all your help, the members at XDA ROCK! :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyeballer:
Yes everything is flashed through recovery. I always wipe cache and dalvik before flashing anything. Make sure you make some nandroid backups before you play around too much so you can recover quickly. Amon RA recovery is recommended over clockwork.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spencer88:
OK I'll install Amon Ra soon, that's what I had previously used in my first rooting experience. I did a Nandroid backup before I installed my first custom ROM, and I believe my radios and everything else are all up-to-date, so I don't think I should have any problems as far as that goes.

EDIT: Now I'm just looking for a stock 2.2 rooted ROM to restore to in case I decide to go back to stock again.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny1911:
Hi ! I have an interesting question here, perhaps you may noticed on the Title "Is it Possible to run Windows XP or Windows 7 (PC) on HD2 ?"... well.. after I tested Windows 95 with the QEMU soft.. I was really impressed by how it works.. & I'm sure it can have ALOT of more possibilities than just a simple Smartphone OS, by having at least Windows XP on the HD2 ... so what do you say ? Is it possible or not ? and btw.. I tried to start Windows XP SP2 (597MB) on the HD2, by copying the .img File on the SD.. then I noticed that in the qemu_launcher, it doesn't see the XP SP2 image File.. so I noticed that the Win95 had 2 notepads .txt files "emul_cmdline" & the "EMUL_INI" .. and I opened them in my Win7 PC, and changed in the "emul_cmdline.txt" the name of the Image File, like this.. from ...

1G-qcow.img to the name of my XP SP2 Image File like "XP Sp2.img" ... & changed the "[emul]

name=" from the "EMUL_INI" to the name of the Windows or so... then I copied those 2 .txt files "emul_cmdline.txt" & "EMUL_INI.txt" to the folder on my HD2's SD Card in which contained the XP SP2.img... then I noticed that in the qemu_launcher it show'd me the XP SP2.img... and when I tried to launch it.. I just pressed the "Launch" button.. & the qemu launcher closes & nothing happens... xD.. any help ? or at least explain me if is it possible to run XP or even 7 (PC OS) on the HD2 ? .. but I think that at least Win XP can be runed FOR SURE on the HD2, because the Win XP's System Requirements are these:

PC with 300 megahertz or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233 MHz minimum required (single or dual processor system);* Intel Pentium/Celeron family, or AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor recommended

•	128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)

•	1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available hard disk space*

•	Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter and monitor

But the HD2's capabilities are MUCH MORE higher than these requirements... the only problem is again the Internal Memory or the SD Card... because on the Internal Memory it can't just fit in... but if you boot from the SD Card.. you may experience laggs or even freezes... xD .. I don't know really... I'm just guessing now...

Please do not post any comments like: "What's the point ?" or "Why do you need to do all this ?" ... I'm just interested in having Win XP or even 7 on my HD2... and I'm sure there are more people on XDA which probably want the same thing as I do...;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarathustrax:
It may be possible to get it to boot, but I doubt you would be able to get it usable. Also, I think the fact that XP runs on ntfs instead of fat like 98 does, that may make it impossible. And when using emulators, you have to generally have a processor 10 times the speed of what's required for it to work properly. And arm processors are different than the x86 processors that computers use... you can't expect a 1 ghz arm processor to handle the same things a 1 ghz x86 processor handles... different architecture.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny1911:
Yeah ! I agree with you.. but the HD2 has a Qualcomm CPU, so I don't know... is it an x86 or an ARM CPU ? .. but it kinda' doesn't make part of either x86 or ARM ...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M-en-M:
I'm not entirely sure how QEMU works. If it's really an x86 emulator with functioning kernel and driver support, it might work. But I doubt it'd be really usable.

Qualcomm's Snapdragons use a custom ARMv7-based CPU comparable to the Cortex-A8, called the "Scorpion".

Also, don't compare clock speeds here. The Scorpion and A8 achieve approximately 2 instructions per clock. Even the lowly Pentium 3 could get about 2.7 instructions per clock.

Add to that the fact that the architecture's being emulated, and that there aren't really any good drivers (meaning little to no hardware acceleration) and you've got yourself some awful performance right there.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M-en-M:
After some searching, I did find someone who managed to get XP working.

Here.

Using another x86 emulator, Bochs. You'll need to know a thing or two about coding, obviously. So if anyone really, really wants XP on their phones, go ahead and tell us if that works out.

Within the same thread, people confirmed that with emulation going on in the background, our good ol' QSD8250 scored along the lines of a 90MHz Pentium.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny1911:
Awesome !!! Big thx !... at least I'm happy to know that it is possible, and that someone tried it & it worked... good to know... but I think that the software he used "Bochs" is not so good as QEMU... and that may be the main problem why the Win XP is working slow... and also it matters which SP the Windows has, because XP SP1 eates about 100 - 200 MB of RAM... while SP3 eats between 200MB - 300MB ... so it's really important too which SP he had used to boot... using to boot from the SD Card is also the big problem... SD Card is not as fast as the internal memory of the phone...

PS: But anyway... I'm happy to know that someone tried XP on HD2, and it worked... that's Awesome news ! ... I hope some developers may try to work on making a more greater & smaller in capacity Image File of the Windows.. but to keep the same features as like a Real Computer ! :)
