[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] phiredrop:
Hey everyone-

I'm asking for help from anyone who's willing to. I don't care if it's not normal for "devs" to ask everyone else for help, this is a community and we thrive on helping one another (by the way, I'm no dev).

Here's my situation: I have the next SkinnyEvo rom ready to be released. It's awesome. The only thing holding me back is a 'flickering' of system animations.

I've attached pictures so you can see what I'm talking about - notice the horizontal lines in the battery status when it's charging, or the downloading icon when using the market. It also happens when typing, scrolling text (like music), the launcher, and even some widgets when simply sitting on the homescreen.

From what I've been able to find, this 'flickering' issue used to be common back before I was involved with the HD2. It may seem like a small issue, but after a day of glitchy animations, you'll go crazy.

I've tried different kernels (only hastarins) and many other things.. but I would like to open it up to other suggestions so we can get this rom released! If you would like the rom "as is" to troubleshoot on your own, PM me and I will provide a link for you.

Thanks a bunch!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babymeosh:
HI everybody,. can u help mee!! At 1st excuse my bad english ^^. I've got a Samsung Galaxy last week. After reading about 2.2 (it was eclair) I decided to flash. I've done it succefully. But after that many apps crashes at lauching, so i decided to reflash, but i'Ve forgotten to "REMOVE LAGFIX!!!". Now stuck at Samsung Logo. No Recovery meode, >No dwnload mode 5Its now i see it was a fix for that .. sic). I've read about all methods. Isn't there another way, except cable jig thing, or sending it to customer care (they wont take it cos' flashed.. sic...)?? I'm desesperate, pls help mee!! TY
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geesamsungs:
Had the exact same problem champ...

I took my battery out and put it back in, then held down Volume Up and the Home key together, then pressed the Power on button. This should take you into the recovery mode; once you're here do a factory reset. I did this and it then booted into Froyo 2.2.

Hope it works!

Edit: After re-reading, are you sure you can't get into recovery mode? Are you SURE you're doing it correctly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyoknying:
Had exactly the same problem. Mine was Singtel JG4, the three button combo never worked, and can't get to recovery mode. Send it to Samsung, after analyzing, they said they can't flash it (they're using Odin btw). Funny thing is the phone able to enter Download mode but when plugged in the PC, the message is "USB Device Not Recognized". Solution:the Samsung technician open up the unit, clean the USB socket/resolder and voila.... upgraded to Froyo (pheeeeeeeew.......)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babymeosh:
Ok, good news. After making cable Jig, mine worked. So i enjoy you to alway have one for desperates cases!! TY a lot!!

I was trying to install CM6.1....and it got stuck on galaxy S screen....i pulled the battery and get to recovery....but now i cannot access my internal or external memory....i had my backup...but i am not able to restore it.....please guys help me....or have i bricked my fon???
[Vibrant General] stephenj37826:
Read the bible. Flash back to stock with odin and go from there :-)
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
Thanks for a quick reply....i'll look to it now....but i dun know what odin is????
[Vibrant General] jn_vista:
Hence the read the bible part... it explains everything there!
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
hey guys i start odin after puittin the PIT file....it is still stuck at

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

is it normal??? or how long will it take to process????
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
Did you add the PDA file?
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
no....where to find this file???
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
Here.

Sounds like you have some more reading to do though, man.

EDIT: Also, make sure your phone is in Download Mode.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Do the reading but here is a start

1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.

2. Extract the files.

3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.

4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.

5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.

6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.

7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.

After it flashes then go back and reboot.

This should get you back to a place where you can reflash. Then shut the phone down. Then remove the battery for at least 30 secs. the put it back and reboot It should come up just fine..............NOW you can go from there.........BUT ..........DUDE...........READ and use Google... This is all out there good luck
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
thanks man. yeah i am really confused rite now. and i am new to all these things. please bear with me. so after downloading this file. and putting it into PDA. and starting the process. what would be the next step or it would be the last step.

the thread about it says.

Put your phone to download mode (hold down: volume down, home key, power)

Do not plug in your phone yet.

Start Odin3

Tick "Re-Partition", and also check that "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" have been ticked.

Click "PIT" button and select s1_odin_20100512.pit file.

Now, plug in the phone and wait until Odin finds it.

Click "Start" button... <Firmware update start...> <Get PIT for mapping...> appear. The phone will turn off and the screen indicates "Reset". Wait until Odin indicates "Pass".

Plug out your phone, remove the battery, put it back in and put phone to download mode again.

Click "Reset" button in Odin and untick "Re-Partition" box.

Do not select PIT file again. Just leave it empty.

Click "PDA" button and select "CODE" file.

Click "MODEM" button and select "MODEM" file.

Click "CSC" button and select "CSC" file.

Plug in the phone and wait until Odin finds it.

Click "Start" button and wait until phone reboots with the new software version.

It doesnt say to put PDA file on the first start. and where do i find the modem and csc files. thnx man. n sorry for so many noob questions. i seriously need help.
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
By "start Odin" it just means run the .exe file to open Odin.

No need for the modem and csc files.
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
hey the file u provided....needs a password when unzipping...do u know what is it???? thanks
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
i know that...i was referring it to the second start...as it has three starts...one at the end.... thanks. man
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
should be 'samfirmware.com'.
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
Yeah, I just read through the directions in your post. Personally I never go through all those steps. It may be a mistake, but I've flashed using Odin dozens of times and never had a problem.

Just load the 'PIT', load the 'PDA', check re-partition (if applicable), then hit 'start'.
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
thanks a lot man....now lets hope it gets right.....i really appreciate ur help....just clicked start.....
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
No problem, duder. Let me know how it works it.
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
one more quick question.....when in download mode....which screen should be showed....mine is sowing the samsung galaxy s screen...i pressed and hold volume down,home and power key....tell me if m doing anythin wrong???
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
oh no, man. That's just your boot screen.

Download mode looks like this:

Do you have ADB set up on your computer?
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
no man...:(.....how do i set it up???? and its not goin into download mode...m sorry for wasting ur time man....n sorry for being such a noob....:(
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
don't worry about it. Just make sure you do some reading up on this kind of stuff before you mess with anything again.

As for ADB we won't worry about that now, but you should definitely get it set up in the near future.

Follow the directions in this thread to the "t" to get into Download mode.
[Vibrant General] jnutz:
The easiest way to get into download mode it to turn the phone off and while holding the volume down button with the phone powered off plug in the USB cable and it should power on and go into download mode. They way they are telling you to do it doesn't work on any of my phones. Not surprised it doesn't work on yours either.
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
thanks a ton man....now i am in downloading mode....starting the odin....thanks for being so patient....:)....
[Vibrant General] jnutz:
I am still baffled how the vol up + vol down works for people. It has never worked for me on any of the 5 Vibrants I have. Mine all go into download mode with just the vol down key. If I use both it just boots like normal.
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
still stuck on

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

i wonder how long it will stay here....
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
Is Odin showing the yellow box that says '0:[Com4]'? Like this:
[Vibrant General] jnutz:
It shouldn't take that long. You may want to start over at the beginning and see if you missed a step. Also make sure you have the proper drivers installed so it detects the phone.
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
yeah i started over and it worked.....it now showing FACTRYFS.....after this what is the next step???? or is this the last step???
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
Do you see a progress bar in Odin and on your phone? Is it moving? If so, just let it go. It will reboot your phone when it's done.
[Vibrant General] jnutz:
The phone should reboot when it is done. Do not unplug it until the phone reboots.
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
yeah it was moving and then it restarts....but now i got an error...

E: Can't mount /dev/block/st110 (invalid argument)

E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA

copy default media content failed.
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
Well, hell. Ready for some more work?

Give me a few minutes and ill help you out.
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
damn man....odin said passed....then i pulled the battery and it not turning on....dont tell me i have really bricked my fon......:(
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
Redo the steps to get into download mode from my previous post.

Actually here are the steps to follow.
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
this process is also not working....:(
[Vibrant General] timur525:
If all else fails make a jig. First try this: pull everything out of phone, plug in battery. Hold down volume up and down( or just down, or just up, idk really) and plug in your USB cord.
[Vibrant General] jnutz:
If you are having issues getting into download mode try my method. Works every time on all Galaxy S phones and even the new TAB.

1. Pull the battery. Leave it out.

2. Hold the volume down button. Do not push any other buttons. Just the volume down button needs to be pushed.

3. Plug in the USB cable while holding the volume down button.

It should go straight into download mode. After that all you have to do is flash it.
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
Try either of these and see if you have any luck.
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
nothin seems to b workin.....:(
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
Can you get anything to show up on the screen? Any signs of life?
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
nopes nothing.....:(
[Vibrant General] jnutz:
Put the battery in and with the power off plug it into the USB. You should at least get the green battery charging screen. If you don't then chances are you really have bricked it.
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
That's what I was going to say as well
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
i am not getting anything on the screen.....
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
Is there any chance that your battery is dead?
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
i dun know.....but i think it should show somethin on screen when connected the usb...with or without the battery...right....???
[Vibrant General] DEFINITIONOFREAL:
I think your holding the power button down to long and its trying to boot instead ,release only the power button after about 2 seconds
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
with the battery in, yes, it should.

Shot in the dark I guess.
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
Try this dudes method again...
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
i just hold the power key and got somethin on the screen...but it was all written in red....and it was some sort of codes.....after that i am again stuck with dead phone....:(
[Vibrant General] jnutz:
I hate to be the the one to give bad news but if you don't even get the battery charging screen then I am afraid it is done. Keep in mind you won't get the battery charging screen if the battery is not in.
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
i think the phone is dead......****....i just lost my $400 bucks.......by the way thanks to everyone who tried their best to help me.......
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
It's just hard to believe the phone is bricked from a bad flash.
[Vibrant General] jnutz:
I second that. I am not saying it is not possible to brick a Vibrant but so far I have always been able to bring them back. I am not sure what he could have done to it that it ended up like this.
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
I somehow managed to get to the downloading mode after charging the fon for about one hour....then the odin again get stucked in process.....i tried to restart the fon but now again the same thing....might be the battery....i am charging it now...it still not showing anything.....but letting it charge....will try after sometime....hope it works.....
[Vibrant General] jnutz:
Glad you got it working. If you keep failing on the Odin flash try using the stock T-Mobile ROM instead of the one Eugene put together and see if that works better for you.
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
At least it's not bricked.
[Vibrant General] jnutz:
I didn't think it was. I have yet to see a Vibrant be fully bricked. Maybe I have just been lucky but I have always been able to get into download mode. As long as you have download mode it is pretty simple to get it going again.
[Vibrant General] ahmedqaiser1:
My fon is back on....:)

hey guys i have a good news....Yesterday i put the fon on charge n slept....after coming back home after work....i tried to turn it on....but no luck....but i kept tryin to go to download mode....n after so many tries i saw the download mode screen and i had already opened the odin and it detected my fon and i flashed the stock rom.....and boom now its working like normal....MANY MANY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU.....YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING....I AM REALLY REALLY THANKFUL TO ALL OF YOU....

Gratz hombre. ;)

Right on! Glad to hear you got it working.

Just remember what I said about doing your homework feom here on.
[G Tablet General] unhappyrobot:
Anyone else having troubles getting Quadrant to run the 12 cpu tests? Mine always shows 0/12 on them. I also noticed in the "System Information" screen it reports "?" as my cpu frequency. That leads me to believe there is something wrong in either Quadrant or the kernel.

Anyone else noticing this?
[G Tablet General] dkhilo:
I've seen it only 2 out of 10+ times

I've seen it only two times, the bar at the bottom is supposed to be a green progress bar as well. Not sure what I did to get it to show.
[G Tablet General] jtbnet:
It is running the tests... thus the Long pause when it first atarts... it just isn't updating the test count x/12... I have this on other devices I've run it on too... some will count in one orientation (portrait vs. landscape), some never show count in first tests...
[G Tablet General] doctorisin:
I was getting low scores and the cpu tests weren't running...then went to settings applications and chatews data... CPU tests team and scores were much higher 2 or 300 points delta.
[G Tablet General] japhule:
When you run Quadrant, make sure you are holding your tablet in portrait mode. Not sure why it matters but it does. You will see the cpu test run fine when its in portrait mode.

Then go to software info and give us the number under the Customization Version (XXXX-XXXX)

Is it possible to change the ip-address range, so that a dhcp client receives an adress from a given subnet.

I looked for a dhcp server on the galaxy or dhcp settings but could not find it. There is only a dhcpcd.conf for the SGS as a WLAN client.

If someone knows, which config file I should look for, it would be great.

Background:

The SGS has a VPN connection and I want to share that connection with my notebook. Yes, I could establish another VPN connection from my notebook, but if that is not necessary it is nicer.

Thanks for any hints.

Found another problem - the 192.168.34.xx can cause collisions within the company network if I run VPN.

I was wondering if some body can port this ROM over... I've been hearing about this ROM when I was still on windows (TP2) I seen Noobnl try to do something with it. But I heard he quit (Great DEV)...
