[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] double RL:
Somebody on here has a couple of jigs for like $15. I made one for about the same price. It's easy and necessary if you are going to flash and have a newer phone. It works every time.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goob1284:
Try this. Open the one click odin 3 (the jh6 stock rom version). Unplug the battery. Plug the usb cable in and press both volume buttons and the power button. Put the battery back in and as you do that release the power button but keep holding the volume.buttons. this should put you in download mode. Good luck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
it is possible for the screen to be black and still be in download mode, i had it happen, and reflashed via odin on a black screen, odin still saw the phone so i said what the hell and click start, it worked successfully. so try th meathod above and dont be discouraged if the screen is still black.

also re download the stock rom and odin downloader. it may have been a corrupt file that caused it.

if those dont work buy a jig. pain i know but what else can you do? do you have insurance?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crystalhand:
This is an weird problem that I think is fairly rare. I freaked out when this happened. I was able to get all the colors of the rainbow to appear on my phone. It happened to me 4 or 5 times before I finally managed to flash to stock. I just pulled the battery sd and sim every time it happened and flashed again. The phone is not bricked just keep trying and it should work
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IIDIncII:
Sweet thanks guys I'll try all methods when I get home. I'm in my psy class right now lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norcal einstein:
That would be me :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsv109:
Yup, this method worked on my Captivate. I tried it just before making the 301k ohm jig. Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goob1284:
Yeup! worked on mine too when I bricked it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtbagg:
Holy sh!t same thing hapoend to me....just do as says have batt out and usb in then three click and install batt release when u think att screen flashed release power..make sure odin is running.worked atfer about ten times
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groggycl:
Hi, just got my vibrant couple of days ago... I love it! I actually went from a nokia 5530 to the Vibrant and, as obvius as it sounds, it is another world! amazing.

So, just a stupid and maybe a not very usefull one, but anyways. I have some wallpapers 480x800 and I love them, so I wanted to put them on my device, is there a way of setting a 480x800 picture as wallpaper and make it "repeat itself" on every desktop?? (so it is not a bigger picture that expands to all desktops).

So thats it, thanks in advance!
[Desire HD General] Burning_aces:
So both facebook for htc sense and the android facebook app appear to be broken. Originally they both worked then I removed my facebook for android app account login as my contacts list had doubled as both synced contacts, now the facebook for htc sense wont sync contacts and nor will the other facebook app. Anyone experienced this before or know of a solution?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casey Rain:
If I import a T-Mobile G2 from the US that is SIM unlocked, does it have the correct radio bands to work with 3G on UK networks, specifically T-Mobile UK? Providing I enter the correct APN settings, of course.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casey Rain:
In case anyone else was wondering about this, I just sent an email to a friend who works at HTC asking him about this, and he confirmed that even though the radio bands differ slightly between the G2 and the Desire Z, an American SIM-unlocked G2 would indeed work on UK 3G networks with the right APN settings.

Mods, you can go ahead and close this thread if you need to since I have my answer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
I dropped my phone couple of days ago and got massive scratch on the back cover of the phone.

I just would like to buy new back cover.

Anyone know how? Any websites or maybe samsung sells parts?

My warranty is invalid btw.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hairoil:
Back cover

I have seen the official rear covers on ebay for less than 20$ cant find a link at the moment but a little searching should prove successful. If u really want it :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkkid85:
I can sell u the parts, if youd like.

is ths thread open?
[Samsung Mesmerize] jt1134:
Hi guys. I got my hands on some DI14 files from the Mesmerize and decided to cook up a ROM. This ROM is very lightweight (removed as much touchwiz stuff as I could), and is very similar the version I have released for the Fascinate.

[warning]THIS IS ONLY FOR THE USCC MESMERIZE!!! DON'T FLASH ON ANY OTHER PHONE!!! IF YOU DO, I WILL LAUGH AT YOU!!![/warning]

Features:

Latest versions of :

Google Maps

ADWLauncher

Google Voice

Google Street View

Superuser

YouTube

Aosp or additional apps:

DeskClock

FileManager

Gallery3D

Mms

Music Player

Other stuff:

bash / bmlunlock / busybox / nano / redbend_ua / strace binaries are included

fully functional terminfo for bash

lots of extra ringtones/sounds pulled from aosp

SGS boot and shutdown animations

LOTS of stuff removed, don't have a list, sorry.

Also included in the package is a custom kernel, which allows use of aosp style bootanimations (among other things) and has been optimized for speed and reliability. - kernel has been removed

Enjoy.

WARNING: I do not have a Mesmerize so I cannot test anything myself. This ROM has been tested by a few people, but, if you have issues try wiping data, otherwise, please let me know of any bugs. Thanks.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
testing now...
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sophos1:
Flashed this a few minutes ago. Seems much snappier than stock. JT, can't thank you enough. I'll report back after I've used it a bit.

~Sophos
[Samsung Mesmerize] chidesd:
about to test it thanks
[Samsung Mesmerize] chidesd:
seems to work well the lock screen seems quicker but im having some pauses when in some apps. was wondering the name of the twitter and facebook feed app that comes standard on mesmerize liked that app but found it was missing in this rom
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
8hrs and going well. Couldn't get custom boot animation or BLN to work with kernel update so I flashed back to the 1130 kernel. Once I finish the final touches on this boot animation I'll upload it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] androidman78:
Cool JT THANK YOU.....Will get back to you.:)
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
They are missing because they are bloat. Hence the "Super" in Super Clean ROM. The less in it from the start, the cleaner the build. There can and will be variations to this ROM, I'm sure, now that JT has been kind enough to give us a starting point. The pauses you are experiencing, I believe, are writes. When a ROM is deodexed, the .odex files are placed back into the apk for various reasons, including themes, causing the system to have to have to perform a few extra writes to cache. This should speed up as you use your phone. As I said, I believe this is correct, but I'm still learning so this may not be exactly what is happening. In testing the previous builds, I noticed the same thing and that this went away with use.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
The only thing that I see as an issue is BLN doesn't appear to work. Oh well. Maybe in a future build.
[Samsung Mesmerize] wmedlin:
Any way to get the original messaging working i like the way it shows the messages and maybe your navigator from uscc.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
Link to Tom not working can someone post again please and thank you
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
Rom sorry....................my bad
[Samsung Mesmerize] jt1134:
Removed the link to replace with newer version, but had to leave the house unexpectedly before the upload finished. Will post new link shortly.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
Thank you sir
[Samsung Mesmerize] jt1134:
Updated OP with new version. BLN should work now, but it needs to enabled using BLN Control app from the Market.
[Samsung Mesmerize] jt1134:
I will post a zip with all the stock apk's (deodexed as needed) when I have a chance, unless someone beats me to it :P
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
All stock deodexed apk's located here http://ge.tt/3mWj9TK in a zip file. Files are not necessarily named the same in apk form as in the app drawer. Also, not all apk's are apps from the app drawer.

As usual, use at your own risk. Make a backup before you use.... yada yada yada.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
Thanks... I'm looking through and I can't find two apps, not sure if they're there, or if they are, what the actual .apk names are... First is the stock Messaging app and the second is the My Navigator app. Not a huge fan of the messaging in this rom, if I can restore an apk to get back what it was like I'd be much happier. :D
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Stock messaging app is mms.apk, but we are having a problem trying to get it back in the ROM. It seems to be the only one that doesn't want to go back in at this time, but it is being looked in to. My Navigator is USCC_Samsung_Galaxy_S-1059.apk I believe. I know it is one of the ones with USCC or uscellular in it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] johnboyjr:
i am 99.9% sure it wont

but does the wii mote work now? or is there any hope hat it will at some time
[Samsung Mesmerize] davidbruington:
Ah, i understand. I know I see his name on almost EVERYTHING! I'll try again later. BTW, thanks everyone working on stuff for the mesmerize, ya'll are great! :cool: If there's anything I can do to help, I'd be happy to, though I dont know anything about programming or whatever :p
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
lol... you are all about your wii mote, aren't you. I guess I need to find out what you are talking about. JT will be better able to answer than me, but if it has dependencies in the kernel, then I'm guessing it probably won't work.

Explain it to me so I understand what it's supposed to do.

EDIT- OK, I'm half a derp. You want to use the wii mote to control games. Wow, you'd think I was old or something. I was picturing you holding the nunchuck part of the wii mote. Man I'm dumb.... lol
[Samsung Mesmerize] johnboyjr:
i want to play nintendo games. i beat a few with the touch screen but its not as fun.

it works on android but it wont work on samsung tuchwiz because they messed up the bluetooth stack or some thing like that. same thing with the min keyboards on ebay
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sionow:
Is there any chance you could add the wireless modem capabilities back in? I realize it is an added on feature to the phone. It appears to be more complicated to get back then reinstalling an apk unless I'm missing something? It also worked a lot better for my friends and I then any of the programs available in the Android market.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
That is MobileAP.apk and it looks like it may have dependencies also. It doesn't like to be installed by itself. I'll try to add it back in the morning to see if it requires something else or if it just has to be preinstalled.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for getting mms.apk back into the rom, it isn't a deal breaker, that's for sure. Another quick question... Where are all the ringtones located? I was setting them in the music app before but now it doesn't see them. Is there another way to set them. The ones I created are in sdcard/media/notifications. I see there are a ton more in this rom, but I have some custom ones I'd like to be able to set and can't seem to figure out how now.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I'm working on a couple of variations today. JT is checking into the mms issue.

/system/media/audio will have your alarms, notifications, ringtones, and ui folders in it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Yoder808:
Thank you!!! I will flash this tonight. Its nice to see us mesmerize folks getting some love.
[Samsung Mesmerize] wmedlin:
Thanks jt you are the man I was working on a voodoo kearnel lastnight with nemisis and he brought to my att. That there is no odin files so if it did not work there is no way to fix it can you help me out with that.
[Samsung Mesmerize] palisoulja1:
Hey guys awesome rom however I wanna know if you can post the wallpaper that comes with the adw launcher. Thanks
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
Awesome. Thanks.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Odin files are here. http://ge.tt/2jDX1li I figure I'm already in deep enough, I might as well post them. lol
[Samsung Mesmerize] wmedlin:
Thanks phidelt82!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
This is just the beginning.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
No problem.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
Thanks jt and phil glad to get a start with this phon.e awsome
[Samsung Mesmerize] bigjkcfan:
I have a totally noobish question, but is it possible to revert back to the stock mesmerize firmware if I try this and don't like it? If so how?
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
revert back to stock

When you go to recovery mode just make a backup that's it then if You need to just go to recovery and click restore if this helped you let me know
[Samsung Mesmerize] thescorpion420:
Thats is what the ODIN files are for, if you flash them you will be 100% how it was when you left the USCC store.
[Samsung Mesmerize] frozn00:
Will have to try this rom. Thanks!
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
If I flash to fasinated mez will those Odin files posted here take me back to stock mez?
[Samsung Mesmerize] androidman78:
Ladies and gents we have voodoo !!!! Soon !!

;)Well for all of you out there that have voodoo love in your veins.....Show JT SOME LOVE.....We have voodoo, well barring anything major shortly you will TESTING.....But dont worry it will be in your hot little hands shortly as a treat thought I would show you a screen shot latest ROM before voodoo was 925....not too hot....after VOODOO....a mear 1725 it averages a bit less but 1600 and some change was my average...with wifi on. At any rate GIVE IT UP TO JT AGAIN....http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15473352/CAP2010121008321.jpg

A Note voodoo is a new ball of wax you cant just go to non-voodoo after this without a couple steps....will explain when released.....THANKS JT;)

EXTRA NOTE: Thats not OVERCLOCKED !!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
This is relevant to my interests...

Can't wait to check it out.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Made me want to bust out my drum and bass records (yes actual records) and spin a little Voodoo People custom ringtone. Unfortunately gotta do grownup stuff and work.

Fat props JT!
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Looks like that screenshot was jacked. 1758 was the score.

A few tweaks.

This will settle down.
[Samsung Mesmerize] wmedlin:
Whens that kernel coming out.
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:
i am coming from the HTC EVO and like the Mesmerize so far aside form the fact it feels like it was made for like $10,, just uber el cheapo plastic phone... but they want a mint for it,, jesus.

anyways.

Voodoo looks wicked and reminds me of Snap Kernels (although voodoo is slower according to quadrant)

is that a fair assumption that voodoo is more akin to SNAP kernels from the EVO ?

also, any thoughts, ideas on getting AMON RA working? Ra is just a better recovery program.

anyways looking forward to flashing a new rom and kernel.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
As soon as JT feels it is safe for the public. It's one thing if a tester break their phone. It's a whole other thing if yours gets broke. The more it's tested the happier everyone will be.
[Samsung Mesmerize] lilzone:
I thought I would be the only one coming from a EVO, Guess not. How do you like so far? I am also weighting for some good kernels to make this thing scream!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] wmedlin:
Awesome if you guys need a tester let me know as long as we have Odin files to restore I'm game to help anyway I can.
[Samsung Mesmerize] androidman78:
So far so good....

Been running all day no problems to report and battery life is doing very well, like the feel of it when opening apps and general movement between screens.....SOLID :p
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:
i love the lighter weight but not the 100% plastic body, it feels so cheap.

i really want a snap kernel w/ Turbo for this phone lol.

in general i like it alot but dont feel that it was worth 199 after rebate while the Desire is only $99 and it a much much better built phone but has NO internal storage and smaller screen.

either way i think i will be happy with the Mez.

i see clockwork is working.. boooo!!! clockwork can suck a fat one.. just kidding.

i hope the guys at Amon Ra get us up and running!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:
well finally got it flashed.

Wireless Modem ie; tethering causes com.android.settings to FC.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
There is a dependency or two that is missing. Part of the cleaning process to reduce bloat. If I can ever get a free minute from work, I'm putting together a "pick-n-pack" ROM that will leave all of the dependencies in and just remove the apk's. This way you can put them back in if you want and not get the FCs. It will be really bloated compared to jt's but works better than stock and will still fly once the voodoo kernel is released.
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:
cool.

i was just reporting though. i dont use it. i use the wireless tether for root users.

the stock tethering doesnt work unless you pay for the feature, unlike my evo where the stock usb and wireless tethering is unlocked thanks to a tiny hack that makes the phone believe it got the authorization code from sprint to unlock the feature.

hopefully soon this will be true for the Mes also.

we need to get our own forum also.

right now i am not noticing any speed increase though but havent run quadrant.

i am eager to get the Voodoo kernel though.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
EDIT- seems I don't know what i'm talking about there so i'll just delete that part. I guess the tether app is different than I originally thought.

I also wish we could get our own forum. It would make it easier to keep up with stuff. Pick-n-pack rom is coming along. Hoping to be send to a secondary tester soon.
[Samsung Mesmerize] wmedlin:
How did you get wireless tether to work i have in installed but it dose not work for me in the error logs it give me unknown device-type. Your Device is not supported!...

I found the problem I had to download the one from the developers page but i have it working thanks anyway!
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:
yup have to get the latest from the dev google code page.

also i had some troubles at first but if i stopped the tether then restarted it it worked.

but now it seems to work fine on the first time.

but it isnt 100% stable, sometimes i cant get on the net, but its few and far between i just close and restart the tether app.
[Samsung Mesmerize] young_shane:
picture messaging isnt working..i havent tried sending but i cant recieve
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Sending picture messages has a dependency that jt was looking into. If the person sends you picture message and has text with the pic, all of the pics come in most of the times. It's an oddity that I don't understand, but I've been able to duplicate it many times. Several pics alone won't come in, then one pic with text comes in and the all come rushing in at once.
[Samsung Mesmerize] young_shane:
when do you think we will see an OC rom/kernel? ive seen lots for the fascinate.. im interested to see when they will have one come out for the mez.. i think i saw they have 1.6ghz on the fascinate and a 2000+ score on quadrant.. haha ridiculous
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Voodoo is coming soon. I don't have all of the particulars on the clocking, though. I do know the test kernel I'm running right now is not overclocked so I assume that the release won't be either, but jt has said that he has made changes to it.

As far as the 1.6 on the Fascinate... that is awesome, but I would hate to be the guy that installed it and ramped it up to the full 1.6 and end up having the chip that was from the lower end of the batch.

As some of us get more adept at building, there will be more released. Just give us time to get up to speed.
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:
Does anyone have a stock odex or deodex rom somewhere for download?

I HATE not having a stock rom to flash back to incase I need to.

Don't say clockwork this or that for backup/restore.

We all know clockwork isn't the most reliable. It only took 10 times of installing it before it actually installed (seriously)

I hate to bust clockwork like that but that program just isn't the same as Amon Ra.

Also who else here hates the stock android browser and email.

Please tell me there is a way I can use the Sense browser and email from, say an EVO rom.... The sense email is just the best email app for a phone that I have ever seen. And the browser,, well it's just better.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
I have a mesmerized and flashed the Odin files for fascinate so now I have a fascinated mesmerized and am now running superdark rom with a 1400 overclock kernal and ext2 lag fix running 10.5 in .5 seconds and 23000 quad score so until there are more roms/kernals ill stick with my fascinated mesmerize pm me for instructions on how its easy
[Samsung Mesmerize] chidesd:
How should one go about trying to get a forum section just for the mesmerize. I mean right now theres only 4 or 5 important mesmerize post but in a month there should be dozens its gonna be hard to distiguish posts
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I hope that was a typo and you're actually running ext4 lagfix and getting 2,300 on quadrant. As I understand it ext2 lagfix will give you a high quadrant score but it's not a real fix. And 23,000 is a bit unbelievable.

What really matters is that you are happy with the performance of your phone. More stuff is being ported, and themed ROMs are being made. Testing voodoo kernels now, which could be released any time.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
A sizable donation would probably do it. lol... I wish we had our own forum too.
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:
it will happen. but i think we should, each one of us, contact the forum mod and politely request that a mesmerize section be made.

a Fascinated Mesmerize,, ha i love it.

sounds like a pretty tedious process.

just post instructions here dude, or better yet, make a new thread.

dont hide it in a PM, mesmerize people need to know.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
Anyone who wants a fascinated mesmerize just needs to goggle fascinated mesmerize all the instructions are there and down loads takes about 15 min to complete this then just pick a fascinate rom kernal and there you have it a fascinated mesmerize its all done with Odin and since the Odin files are out for the mez in a post in this thread you can just go back when you want that easy you will net to download the GPS fix for the fascinate though and its not hard either have fun
[Samsung Mesmerize] Yoder808:
Thanks for the advice! That may be the longest sentence I have read this year!

By the way, I flashed this ROM; no problems so far! I use "Handcent SMS" anyway, so hopefully the messaging problem I hear about wont effect me.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
Ya I'm bad with punctuation
[Samsung Mesmerize] Yoder808:
FYI: svetius PM'ed me, we are getting a Mesmerize forum sometime this week! He asked me to let everyone know.
[Samsung Mesmerize] chidesd:
thats really good to know
[Samsung Mesmerize] alaindesjardins:
Thanks for the bold letters, it is truely worthy of them.
