[Galaxy S I9000 General] devonblue4u:
I'm starting this thread for the users on this forum such as myself, the infamous Craigslisters and second hand buyers without receipt. When my I9000M first crapped out in September, I waded through countless threads, in search of the magic portion that would bring back my dear departed SGS. Though I found all the articles informative, the option of having someone else do the work in less time than I is very appealing. Especially after late nights and lots of coffee, just to see BSOD...

Sooo, seeing as this can help the near-sighted (in this case) consumer that all we bargain hunters are, the list should be as follows;

Where:

In my case, JP Cellular Repair in Richmond, BC

Price:

This should include everything involved. From the time the phone leaves your hands, to the time it returns. Include shipping, fees whatever.

mine- $72 w/ tax.

How Long?:

Same as above in terms of time. If it has been a while since the repair and the phone had to be returned, include that info as well.

Mine- 2 days start to finish.

How Long Since The Repair?:

Mine- 10/27/10

What Was Replaced or Serviced?:

Motherboard? Flashed?

Mine- Motherboard

Comments?:

Bugs? Communication? Quality of work? Anything else you can add goes here.

Mine- My SGS came back looking like the day I bought it. I did get a PM from a XDA user in Australia stating that he was quoted $150 from the same shop on November 2nd. I'm not sure what to make of that, but I'd be firm and state that they charged $72 for a MB repair done in October.

Hopefully this helps.

I have just done this and i can confirm im stable at 1.7ghz

Warning: This will change your Mac Address to 00.11.22.33.44.55. This will not usually cause problems, but if it does make sure you take the usual precautions before flashing;)

I dont take any credit for this, just putting up the guide;)

And i am also not responsible for your phone blowin' up;))

First download this

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11401539/G2-Fast.zip

PS... It will bork your radio;( Because its based on the G2 Kernel and that has no radio;P

Extract the files to your desktop

put the bcm4329.ko on the root of your sdcard then reboot your phone holding down the trackpad as the phone restarts, this will take you into fastboot.

you then go to your pc command line and type

fastboot flash zimage [zImage1805Mhz] [make sure your in this path!]

then when you reboot you will have no wifi, you then need to add this code in the term emulator on your phone

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system [enter]

cp /sdcard/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko [enter]

mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system [enter]

You will now have wifi, and a kernel which is lightening fast at 1.8ghz, im stable at 1.7, 1.8 freezes for me;( there is also a zimage for 1900ghz, but was very unstable for me when i tried...

Confirmed working on a Sense ROM, If your using the G2 ROM then just flash Bacon Bits... Bacon Bits works fine with a G2 ROM and will get you up to 1.497ghz;)

But i think this works with a G2 ROM as well, as its a G2 kernel that will bork your radio;)

Good Luck Guys;)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
What ROMs does this work on ? The initial posting doesn't say, so does it work on any ROM on the DZ ? e.g. the G2 ROM, Asian ROM, etc ? I'm not clear if this is a complete ROM flash.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JupiterDroid:
Not really mate,

Maybe faster battery drain when at the top speeds, But i have it at 1ghz for most of the day, then when i need the power, I just tell Scotty in the power room to juice it up;P

Beam me up Scotty to 1.7ghz;P

JD
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JupiterDroid:
1) Its a kernel flash, so no its not a ROM flash, you will keep your same ROM.

2) If im talking about this kernel borking the radio, you can presume im using Sense because it has radio and the G2 doesnt;)

JD
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
ok, well based on the fact that a member here with an Asian DZ had problems with the update thingy that gtrab did, I was wondering if they might also have problems with this ? We seem to be treating as all stock DZs the same in this forum in the most part, and different ones have different ROMs/kernels - e.g. Europe vs Bell vs Asia.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schriss:
Can this be done directly on the phone? For example with ROM Manager and Clockwork? I don't like messing with cables, connecting to PC, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JupiterDroid:
Not at the moment,

An update.zip will arrive when the dev deems it noob worthy;) (in his own words;))

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanshop:
well, i was wondering why? i just got my phone rooted, have bacon bits on it, and stuff is just so awesome :D

anyhow, i want to try a different rom but in all of them they tell me that i have to wipe the device and i assume my contacts, photos, music, installed apps and all that would be gone. so why does the device needs top be wiped? what happens if i do it without wiping?

thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
Try it and report back. Or just use titanium and back everything up. Or!!! Just do a backup of your current rom and you can revert back to that rom with all the data and apps saved from that point.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanshop:
well i just used rom manager to back up the current rom, that should do it, i will just jump into this :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanshop:
also does the back up i just did with room manager counts as a nandroid backup?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurk04:
I'm noob to android, but once i rooted my phone. I tried installing the desire Z rom without wiping it first. And oh man, when I turned on my G2.... errors left right and center. So many force closes that I couldn't even open the app drawer.

Finally I got the phone off and I wiped the phone first, then re-installed the rom. No errors.

I think wiping the phone just provides less duplication of information on the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanshop:
Awesome :)

Thanks!

Btw is nandroid needed? Or it can be done with room manager tool to back up the current room?

i have this Error during instaling .cab of CLRCAD file it says

"Cannot be opened.Either it is not signed with a trusted certificares or one of it's components cannot be found.If the problem persist,try to reinstalling or restore this file."

i was truely upset just this evening, ive been using this htc hd2 for almost a month & been running Nexus-hd2-FRG83 for a just week already this started it was flawless, when i attempted to installed this .cab file "EBL2._1a_PlusUbuntu"

this will do a dual boot wm or android..

any suggestions? i tried 5 .cab file to installed & it was successfull (games/apps)for WM htchd2 while, this "CLRCAD"in android folder can't open.

i try to reinstall yet failed. Oh by the way ive been using different builds with in a week choosing which i like:)

i need help
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] peetuhr:
So I've been doing these things for a while and just realized theyre pretty elusive and most people would never think of them, theyre pretty useless but maybe someone will appreciate them. :P

So I have been using titanium backup to backup and restore my builds (a lot of people have said not to when switching between builds but I've never had a problem) and realized a couple weird things you can do by restoring backups some of which are really handy.

MAKE A LOCKSCREEN WITH NO PASSWORD!

This is amazing, especially with the screen blackout issues.

Basically backup your system settings with a lock pattern on. then turn the lock off and restore them and restart your phone, you should be able to put in any pattern you want every time you unlock your phone. (also on some builds, sometimes the touchscreen will turn back on when you push any on screen button while its being frozen, so having the dots all over is handy) it also really confuses my friends with android phones every time i put in a super complicated password that uses every dot and weird angles.

APPS DO WEIRD THINGS THEY SHOULDNT... IN A GOOD WAY?

Beautiful widgets has a really nice way of showing the weather in the notification bar, but it wont do it unless you have a widget on the homescreen, do the same thing apply one, back it up, and then take it off and restore it. now i have the notification without having the widget. minor, but nice.

also, not useful but i noticed if you apply sms popup and then do the same it says its disabled but it is actually enabled, so... i know that isnt useful but maybe it will help you think of or notice something that is. :P

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fattire:
So for fun I decided to try to build CyanogenMod (Vision) on my Mac w/Snow Leopard 10.6.5. (VMs? Who uses VMs?)

After some trial, error, and improvisation... it actually worked. A fresh, piping-hot CM 6.1 RC1 update.zip built right on my Macbook Pro. And it even installed and ran on my phone. Holy crap.

Too fun to keep to myself. So I decided to write up what I did, and the result was this guide that takes you through the steps of pulling, building, and installing your own version of CM for the T-Mobile G2 from source.

Obviously don't even consider doing this without permaroot, a g2, a nandroid backup of everything, and the willingness to fail a couple times.

Cheers.

Build CyanogenMod for Vision (Mac Edition)

Build CyanogenMod for Nexus One (Mac Edition)

Update: The instructions are confirmed! A 2nd person (rhcp) has gotten this to work, so I'm thinking the instructions are decent.

Another Update: Nexus One version available too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] daveyboi:
:D I run a 2007 white macbook with intel processor. will give it a try
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fattire:
Cool. One of the issues is that I had a bunch of stuff installed w/mac ports before I even started the build-- I don't know which of them might have been necessary but I didn't explicitly need to add because they weren't missing. So if you discover "oh, it's not building because xyz is missing", just add it to the list of required port packages.

The libX stuff came about in just that manner. The person who was testing for me had broken builds until he installed that. I'd already added it previously so I didn't experience the issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] starkruzr:
I think it's pretty awesome you wrote this up. All hobbyists should be willing to give this a try, IMO.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] daveyboi:
btw. the link on the wiki for macports,org comes up as a .com
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fattire:
Fixed. Thx.

BTW-- one cool thing about building it yourself is you don't have to worry about gapps. All the Google Apps and even the T-Mobile Wifi Calling app transfers to your new ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fattire:
Success!

So I heard back from rhcp. The walkthrough worked to the end. He now has a full build and was able to get it on his phone.

If anyone is interested in trying this for a phone other than the vision, I might be able to port the instructions over for something else... shouldn't be too hard.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] olearyp:
Mac OS is Unixy enough to pull this off. It would be very difficult to do this directly under Windows--even building the ARM toolchain would be nontrivial.

If you are a Windows user, I recommend installing VirtualBox with an Ubuntu image and following the standard Android build process.

I made this a template so now things like the Nexus One build instructions are easy:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fattire:
Glad it worked for ya. I have to apologize if the page kept ****ing up, but some jackwad interested individual kept moving everything around on the wiki and reformatting because he thinks it's more "aesthetic"... I think it makes it way harder to understand.

After a lot of back and forth and arguing, the page was frozen "the good way" for a week. But I'm worried that this penis interested person will mess with it as soon as he gets a chance.

And as i type this, RC1 is officially here!

Update: Hopefully the layout controversy has been resolved.

My G2 is unrooted and does not have the OTA updates installed, if that makes a difference. I followed the directions to a T, except I used a slightly different name for the sparseimage and had two beers while the source was downloading. My Mac also had a few of the requisite files installed already from other projects.

Thanks for taking the time to make the wiki!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fattire:
This reference to "MS-HTCVISION-KNT20-02.apk" looks like a problem the missing OTA. I think that's the wifi-calling app, and I know Cyanogen added support to transfer the wifi-calling stuff over to CM 6.1.

So maybe try installing the OTA and then see if the files transfer. If it works, I'll add a note to the build instructions.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
OK- it looks like I'll need another beer...

I flashed the OTA and confirmed that the missing files are now where they are suppose to be. Compiling takes almost as long as downloading the source, but now the homecooked CM-6.1.0-RC1-vision is hot and fresh!

I got my G2 on Monday and I didn't even know what a hacker was. Now, thanks to fattire, xda-developers, and CyanogenMod, now I is one!

I can't wait to cook me up some Donut rom for the G2! ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fattire:

Anyway, its great progress from devs :)

Now i wonder, as far as i know this custom rom is achieved without unlocking the bootloader, right; or i'm wrong that the bootloader is uncloked.

Hi,

I am wondering if there is an application out there that will log my activity so I can see what services or applications ran that day.

The reason for asking is that I suddenly developed an issue a few weeks ago where the data connection will, apparently randomly, turn itself on. I haven't ever been lucky enough to catch it right when the data comes on, and when I check task manager I don't see any applications running to cause it. I am thinking I maybe either inherited a virus at some point, or I have an application that is attempting to update itself or something. But I haven't installed anything for months so it could be any old program. I checked scheduled tasks but don't see anything there.

I have done 'the usual' of making sure weather, stocks, email are not causing it.

Many thanks in advance for any help or ideas.
