[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kursed:
I've tried using both 1.3 and 1.7 versions of Odin. And facing the exact same issue; it doesn't go beyond 'Setup Connection' for me, when flashing the kernel.

I've already tried and tested all combinations and permutations of USB cable in / USB cable out / Battery out / SIM out / Odin running with Admin rights / Different USB slots etc etc. Didn't do anything for me.

Let me reiterate myself, rooting alone is the least of my problems. I need to install 2e version of recovery (and hence be able to install ClockWorkMod in order to be able to install 3rd party ROMs). I can't seem to get that done, via ChainFire's method.

I've managed to root my phone via SuperOneClick method, but the issue of 2e recovery remains. So I can't use that method either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdl1969:
What exactly are you having a problem with? Can you get your phone to connect to Odin but the download won't progress or can't you get your phone to connect to Odin??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kursed:
My phone shows up in Odin just fine (Com: 14), but once I click 'Start', the entire process stops at:

<ID:0/014> Added!!

<ID:0/014> Odin v.3 engine (ID:14)..

<ID:0/014> File analysis..

<ID:0/014> SetupConnection..

Nothing happens beyond this point. And my phone isn't flashed or affected in any way either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metalzoa:
Are you sure you have all the appropriate drivers?

I had that problem earlier on .. and I believe once I got the Samsung USB drivers from Softpedia it was a wrap.

Odin started working properly.

edit: also check which PIT file you're using. People recommend 512 but the 802 is the one that works for my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kursed:
KIES identifies the phone just fine. I've already tried removing the drivers and re-installing them automatically via Windows Update - KIES works again, but this issue remains.

I've also removed KIES (even from the status bar area), before starting Odin, so that's not a problem either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -MaxMad-:
i think you have no problem with odin, but with usb drivers.

without usb connect you have a problem i think. even for redbend_ua u need a usb connect to use adb shell.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773913

dont know if u can use redbend in terminal emulator just local?! we have to ask an expert or just try it :)

another option is to use a linux box and heimdall. never had any problems with the usb drivers there

Use Heimdall, I'm yet to hear of a single instance of Heimdall 1.0.0 failing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kursed:
Any link to how can I use Heimdall? Is it possible on a Mac?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin Dobell:
Heimdall XDA Thread

Official Heimdall Page

The README includes usage instructions.

Heimdall will run on a Mac as long as you have the updated bootloader provided by Samsung. It was only included in official Froyo releases so you must already be running Froyo for it to work on a Mac. Unfortunately there is no work around if you don't have the bootloader, even a Windows virtual machine running on a OS X will not be able to connect to the phone.

However Heimdall will work fine with any Galaxy S on Linux and Windows (i.e. no updated bootloader required).

If you find Heimdall useful donations are very much appreciated :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanZA:
recovery 2e can be installed on your device fairly easily, as long as it is rooted. Any root method works.

Once rooted, just copy the recovery 2e binary and replace the 3e binary in /system. There are some guides here on this forum on how to do it. I believe simply replacing /system/res/keys with AOSP should be enough for recovery 3e to work properly too...

Finally, I got it working, still using Odin. Thanks for everyone's help. Really really appreciate it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doozer80:
I have the same problem - could you briefly describe how you got it working with Odin? Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kursed:
First of all make sure that you're entering download mode and not recovery mode, before connecting to Odin.

That means pressing (home+power+down-volume key). Secondly, download KIES and and attach your phone with it first in a normal mode and later when in download mode (without turning Odin on).

Heimdall does not recognize my Epic and I can't get Odin to work. I'm in limbo now as phone will only go to download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarr622:
From what I've seen so far, Odin issues are almost always caused by USB drivers or user error. I've yet to see a phone that simply "doesn't work with Odin" although I'm always proven wrong =P

Heimdall doesn't guarantee compatibility with the Epic, according to here. http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/

Check in the Epic forums for help if you haven't already.

Thread reported, this isn't dev.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin Dobell:
That's correct, no-one has reported to me success with an Epic. Although I've never had a failure reported to me either, other than on OS X (bootloader issue), so I'd be surprised if we can't get Heimdall working with Epic phones.

I assume you're running OS X. If so then you need a fixed bootloader although I'm not even sure if Samsung released one for the Epic. If you're able to install Linux or get your hands on a Windows system then it should work fine, if not please let me know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rldev:
Thanks. It was the usb port. Odin seems to be sensitive to which usb port you are using.

as far as i know , no.

I had the first wave from froyo on October and recently updated to the official one released in November.

Although i had froyo allready when i connected to kies it said that i had a firmware available.

Try connecting it to kies and see if you have that option when you click "Upgrade firmware"

If not it means that froyo hasn't arrived for your country and will be soon

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ycats:
Looking for help/suggestions and hope this isn't a repeat post. After I install a custom rom, I install the Hulu app. The app will not work unless I first delete Flash player using the Titanium Backup program; after a reboot, I install the flash-hex-edited.apk, then the Hulu app works, however, flash will then not work on the internet browser, whether it be Dolphin or the stock one. Any ideas on how to get Flash working in the browsers and also be able to run the Hulu app?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bigfudge:
It does have it's own thread, but... I believe you need to go into the stock browser and type about:debug in the address bar. Once you type that in and hit enter, press menu and then go to settings>UAstring and set it to desktop.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ycats:
So I installed Calkulin's latest rom, so if I uninstall/delete the current Flash Player through Titanium backup, reboot, then apply the "fix" to get Hulu app working, I can then do what you suggested with the stock browser to get flash working?

I was wondering what would be considered optimal settings for SetCpu. I amn running BaconBits and am not sure how I should do the settings.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] WarBird87:
i have mine set at:

Profile 1 : 806 MHz max, 245MHz min, On Demand, priority 50

Profile 2 : 245 MHz max , 245MHz min, On Demand, for when the screen is off, priority 50

if i change the MHz, i change it higher on profile 1 for whatever i need it for then i just scale it back down to 806 when i am done...
[G2 and Desire Z General] stevencpoynter:
Mines pretty much the same as the one above save for max clock speed being 1500Mhz.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tazz9690:
I have my scaling set ondemand, have setcpu set at boot, with 1497 max and 245 min, with profiles for various states of the phone.

My profiles:

Screen off: 245 max, 245 min - Priority=100

Battery temp >104: 806 max, 245 min - Priority=90

Battery <10: 245 max, 245 min - Priority=80

Battery <20: 368 max, 245 min - Priority=70

Battery <30: 768 max, 245 min - Priority=60

Charging/Full: 1497 max, 245 min - Priority=50

I get well over a day of use, even with moderate-heavy usage, even with my overclocking on Evil's Sense ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z General] stevencpoynter:
If you search google for an "overclocking 101" thread you should find a rather large ongoing break down of setcpu and the most efficient way to use it. I believe its on one of the droid forums, awesome info.
[G2 and Desire Z General] WarBird87:
I just stole the rest of your settings, hope you dont mind! :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] tazz9690:
By all means, have at it!
[G2 and Desire Z General] SeReaction:
Main profile: 245 - 1017 on demand

Charging/Full: 1017 - 1017 performance 90 priority

Screen Off: 245 - 245 performance; mainly as this mode will bypass the need to poll/sample for CPU speeds, thus reduces some CPU load. 100 priority

Battery < 20%: 245 - 768 on demand 75 priority
[G2 and Desire Z General] WarBird87:
i decided to put the SetCPU widget on my homescreen last night so i could see if the profiles were actually changing as my battery ran lower... and my phone got reaaaalllly sluggish to the point where i would have to wait a few seconds for it to flip back and forth between screens... i deleted the widget thinking that might have caused it, but it was still laggy... so i unclicked on the profiles for battery and got it back to 806MHz and it was fine again...

im guessing that it supposed to slow down the phone when the CPU drops below 806MHz but i didnt think it would be that bad... anyone else experiance this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] SeReaction:
What are the profiles you are using? The ones you copied shouldn't have run into any conflicts... except when you're under 20% battery where the CPU is throttled under 368.

What is your powersave bias?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Azrael3123:
Speaking of powersave bias, could anyone tell me some optimal settings for the setCPU advanced tab? Don't mean to derail this thread, I've just never used that tab.
[G2 and Desire Z General] WarBird87:
I believe i was right at 20% batt or right below,so that could have been the issue... I havent messed with anything on the advanced tab as i dont know much about it, the powersave bias is still set to 0

[G2 and Desire Z General] j.books:
does anyone else feel that their battery lasts longer without using setcpu at all? I mean I love what setcpu can do but in terms of power efficiency, even without overclocking, for some reason I feel like my battery last longer without it.... or am I just crazy?

I used to get about a whole day without setcpu. With setcpu, same amount of usage, I get well over a day and a half before having to charge it up.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmourar:
I just found out one thing you "lose" when removing mediascape, you will not be able to use a picture as a wallpaper as the system uses mediascape for it.

There's a way to workaround it though, you just need to put the picture you wanna set as wallpaper in the etc/customization/content/com/sonyericsson/android/wallpaperchooser/wallpaper folder and with that you don't need to crop the picture anymore like when you use mediascape...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttxdragon:
Easier way to set wallpapers: Use Wallpaper Set and Save from the market (free)

these are all the drawbacks I found when uninstalling MediaScape (lifted from my customizer thread):

MediaScape

apk: mediascape MediaScapePluginManager

Drawbacks:

Camera App is hard-coded to use Mediascape for Gallery/Share.

Vignette Does well but doesn't help in Video mode.

Means: No easy sharing/viewing for taken videos

No easy way to create a wallpaper from taken pictures.

No way to set contact picture from phonebook. Need to go through Gallery3D instead.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpk0875:
I got rid of mediascape once (on 2.1) and the biggest minus for me was that you can't get high quality picture set for contacts in phone book menu; you actually can't set contact pics through regular edit contact menu at all-you have to use stock gallery but as I said no hq pics, just big blur

The newest version of fission is very different from Epic, and AngDroid recommends that anyone coming from a ROM prior to Fission 2.0 should SBF their D2 with the 2.3.20 full flash and then root again and install the ROM following the instructions in the Fission thread.

Hi..

I just got a HTC HD7..

Just a quick questions about the pictures that I have assigned on the tiles..

For the pictures that I assigned on the tiles eg. Contacts, Me and Pictures tiles..

The pictures turn out to be low res..

Even the people tile also has low res pictures..

Is that normal?

Any workaround?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jaybot:
I noticed this too. I thought it was because I have my contacts synched from my Google account that did this.

I noticed that if I make a new contact and instead of using my Google account and set it to Windows Live, and add a picture, the quality of the contact tile picture seems a bit higher.
[Windows Phone 7 General] knave:
This is the same issue as what I've encountered using iPhone too. I suspect its because when you set a profile pic within Outlook, the picture is auto downsized to a lower resolution.

However, if you set the picture via iphone itself for example, it will store and continue to use the new higher res pic
[Windows Phone 7 General] vengence_angels:
I did try to assign the picture from my gallery.. The picture was high res for some time.. After that it reverted to low res..

Specially for incoming calls.

Even though I have added a new contact and assigned a pic to him using the pic captured from the 8 mp cam on Mozart (Which is pretty crisp and clear) when the contact calls me I see a low resolution pic coming in my screen..

Hope this is something MS would be able to sort out in their updates

if you start any application, which wants to gain root access, for the first time, then SuperUser app shows you dialog where you can allow or deny to gain root.

if you already denied to adb gain root, so you have to clear it in SuperUser app.
