if you dont have the one click with redirector when you reboot with clockwork it takes you to the built in recovery, what you need to do is hold the volume down key, the picture taking key and the power key while booting up in order to get into clockwork recovery. Its not really spelled out anyplace that the generic recovery is blue writing, whereas clockwork is green and alot more choices.
[G Tablet General] smileyscout:
If you are that person you should try this (assuming you haven't deleted the phone related apps from your device):

Following is steps about how to connect USB 3G Moden:

1. Touch: "Settings" -> "Wireless & Networks"

2. Disconnect any wireless

3. Insert the 3G usb dongle, wait until the wireless signal icon changes(about 8 seconds),it changed to no cross wireless icon;

4. Touch the menu "3GEVDO --click to turn on 3G"

5. Untill the ticker displayed

6. Wait 5 seconds, another "3G" icon displayed, that means the 3G already connected

7. Return to desktop

8. You can access web pages

9. OK

Like a Boss Hboot 2.02 root but got the $ instead of # sign after i went into the shell and its telling me "You Should see a "#". This means you have root if you see a "$" or some other error message. Reboot your phone, check your drivers, usb debugging and cable and start over. If you got a "#" You can Proceed. You should still be in the shell at a "#" If not start over.." and at the beginning it tells me to "Make sure you have the drivers installed for your phone (recommend: SDK Drivers, unrevoked hboot drivers" but im not sure exactly what that means or how to do it, i thought i was doing alright but i dont think i have it all quite figured out, anyone know the next step i should take to keep from bricking this thing?

try typing SU then enter after the $ prompt, if that gives you the # prompt proceed, also be sure to run unrevoked forever to permantly unlock nand and get s-off, ok so i just also read a little more carefully, this method listed in your OP is not unrevoked3, maybe a little more info on exactly what you did would help.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trumpduece:
Yeah def. got 2.02 when i typed SU it said Permission Denied I believe its a problem with not having all the drivers on the computer itself, should i install HTC Sync then uninstall it to get its drivers at least?

[HTC Aria General] WTFever:
I picked up an Aria today from AT&T, got root using unrevoked3, backed up, etc. and flashed a new ROM and love it(liberated_aria_FR007_signed.zip). Do I have to do anything more to use the phone with another SIM?

I've been searching the forum for hours, as the log will prove, but I'm out of time. I'm leaving for the Philippines in a few hours. I don't have another SIM card to even see if I get the unlock screen, and won't have one until I arrive in the phils after a LONG flight.

Thanks :)
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
That's a great question and I'm really sorry I don't have the answer for you... but I'll start googling to see if I can help you find out.
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
Based on a quick Google search, yes you do need to unlock the phone to use it outside of AT&T's network. You should be able to get an unlock code from AT&T directly if you've had your account for longer than 3 months -- but it may take up to 3 weeks to receive that code. The first few sites I checked were asking for $35 to unlock the Aria, then I found one for $30 that will send you the code in less than 2 hours.

Hi guys

I just thought I should share this with all you unhappy sgs owners who keep complaining about GPS issues.

Im from india with the international i9000 version and I just flashed to darky's rom 4.1 with speedmod and installed ndrive with india maps.

Gps works beautifully and I get locked on in 10 seconds or even less and it's flawless navigation after that.

I feel all those who have issues with gps should try this rom. The rom is great.. lag free and 100% WORKING GPS.

Cheers

be sure to read up and find out which main bourd you have 32a or 32b you cant interchange roms only usethe ones for your phone there are lots for both.

you should check out rom manager in the market it is awesome for installing and backing up roms youve a lot of research to do but its not really that hard just kinda scary at first but once you use rom manager its a breese.

good luck
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jackmanzan:
Once you've got it rooted, install rom manager from android market.

Flash the clockwork mod recovery ( can do it in rom manager straight from your phone)

Then you can download cyanogenmod from the download rom category, select cm6.1 stable and check google add-on (gmail, market, talk) let it do it's thing and your done.

Then you can keep on top of it through rom manager.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] smart2smart:
Hi,

I have some n00b questions on upgrading. Any responses would be highly appreciated. I have gone through the pages here and have a little idea but don't want to make a silly mistake that could brick my phone.

1. I need to first root my device. This is preferable done using the Z4Root application available on the market place. Is it possible to unroot the device if I need to take it to the service center ?

2. I need to install Terminal Emulator from Market space to enable me to run the unix commands on the phone directly.

3. I should take a flash image of my current state and store the same on my SD card, should be using Nandroid but am still a little gray on this part. Is this standard meaning can I look up any tried of Nandroid and follow those instructions or is there something different that I need to do for the P500

4. kdz_fw_up / recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img / flash_image Needs to be used to flash the new version or a different test ROM but still hazy about this.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
Definitely will be better to unroot device before any warranty issues. In both case (ROOT and unROOT) Z4Root can help.

You can also use ADB shell from Android SDK tools, but Terminal emulator is much better I guess.

Generaly it is same. Just boot into custom recovery and select backup -> nandroid backup. Backup is saved on SDCARD. With restore you can restore it without any problem.

kdz_fw_up is application for flashing mostly original ROMs in *.kdz format. Custom rom will be in most cases distributed as *.zip file - this should be flashed by custom recovery with tool "Flash zip from sdcard". zip contains just root folder (/) of system with all (in case of update only with necessary) files.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] smart2smart:
Clarifications

@The_error

Thanks for clarifying each and every one of the questions. I also spent the better part of the day figuring out stuff. Thought I might as well post it here incase anyone else was looking for answers to these questions.

Step 1,

Root your device, either use Z4root or SuperOneClick, there is precious little you can do without routing your device. Both these options have the capability to unroot your device. If you don't know what root is, please look it up, the rest of the post will be pretty useless...

Step 2

Install Terminal Emulator / ADB , this will allow you to run command on the phone once you get the root access as mentioned in Step 1. You will need to have this capability for Step 3

Step 3

Install Recovery, basically this allows you to boot up your device into a screen which gives you the options to backup your installation/restore a previous backup/ format your SD / flash a new ROM

Step 4

Carry out a full Nandroid backup just to keep a copy save with yourself.

Step 5

Now you can start to play around, either start off by removing those horrible applications that are pre installed OR take a fresh ROM and restore it over here.

Now this post just gives the basic guidelines. Each of the operations mentioned in the steps can be looked up within this phones threads for further details on where to get the software and the step by step instructions for each of the tasks.

All the best !

Cheers,

Vikram.

i do have a queschum about installing a new recovery. when i had rooted my MT3G. I used Rom Manager to install RA recovery using the option provided in the app. Does that option still apply to the LGOO (mine is TMO version though), or is using Terminal Emulator the only way at this point to get the custom recovery?

Dear Judge,

We have released several GPS fixes, those who are receiving a malfunctioning GPS obviously know what they are doing. Because of this they have obviously flashed unauthorized software on their phones which is causing the GPS issue. :rolleyes:

-The team of hundreds of Samsung Devs writing FROYO's code in the sand.

What I thought of when I read this, and felt the need to post it.

Someone could file a lawsuit, slim chance it would get anywhere, slimmer chance someone would be willing to invest the time and money in doing so.

Side note-How can Samsung get away with not publishing the source code? Isn't there like a Linus Torvolds guy we can talk to? Or some company in Cali he works for?
[Captivate General] shinji257:
Samsung doesn't have to publish the driver code because it isn't part of the os. There is other stuff for linux that is also distributed closed source as well.
[Captivate General] jamespaulritter:
I think that there ought to be a class action lawsuit. I did not return the captivate after finding that there was a problem with the GPS becuase i was told that a fix would be available quickly. After I gave up on waiting I was told that i had waited to long and could not. return the phone. So now I have a 500 dollar phone that can't hold onto a satellite. Why shouldn't their be a lawsuit when a company sells a defective device, lies about a quick fix and then won't accept a return.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
OK, so go initiate one (the class action lawsuit). And after about 1 year, if it wins, the lawyers will get their payment first. All the class members get paid second. So, maybe $10 to every GalaxyS owner.

Or, you could send it back for warranty repair repeatedly until it works. But, usually if you bang on AT&T hard enough they will let you pick a different phone from their stable.
[Captivate General] itsjustaphone:
And people wonder why phones get to be so expensive. If your life is Dependant on GPS, go buy a GPS unit. Everyone had 30 days to take the phone back. Tired of hearing all the whining"I didn't take it back because....." If you can afford to go around suing companies when you get your feelings hurt, you can afford to go buy a different phone.:rolleyes:

Of course class actions are not about customers receiving 10 bucks they are about making a company pay for wronging the consumer so that they do not reap the rewards of selling faulty equipment and also so that they will in the future by less likely to rip off the consumer.
[Captivate General] jamespaulritter:
If u bought a car and later you noticed the heater didn't work so you called the dealership and they said that they ordered the part to fix it you probably wouldn't take the car back and get your money back right away would you? But then when the part got in and they installed the part and the heater still didn't work you would expect them to give you your money back if asked, right? Especially if they weren't sure if they could ever fix your car. And then if some one online told you to pay out of pocket for a space heater to put in your car you would think they were kind of missing the point wouldn't you?
[Captivate General] jamespaulritter:
Are you implying that since your GPS "works fine" that others don't have a real problem?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Actually Class Action lawsuits are designed to provide a remedy to an entire class of individuals and generally avoid everyone suing independently. The idea of suing for defective items is to obtain a remedy, not punish a company.

I don't know about you, but if i sued samsung over defective GPS, I would want a working GPS. Punishing them doesn't do much to fix my issue. If i couldn't get a working GPS, then i would want my money back.

Lawyers love Class Action suits because they get paid millions first - very little happens to positively affect the consumer.

If your GPS is not up to your standards do this: instead of waiting for a class action suit to occur, take your phone to AT&T and ask for it to be replaced or Samsung. If new phones are repeatedly defective, then ask for another type of phone or a refund on the price you paid for the phone - that is your true remedy. If they fail to accommodate you, then take them to small claims court; this costs about $30, it forces them to either pay a lawyer to go to your jurisdiction, or pay you off. You will get your small claims court fee, and your refund for the phone. If they do take it to court, you win on the basis that the product failed to perform under "fitness of purpose" definitions.

In the end you want the phone to work the way it was intended, or you want your money back - this is the way to do it - not class action.

The challenging part is proving what effect it had on you. Saying it takes a few extra minutes because you are routed all over the place seems insignificant when you say it in court.

Although we all say the GPS is broken, technically it is just poor quality that fails to live up to our expections
