[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrewwelton:
Okay, the more I try the more I think my phone is hosed. I don't understand what went wrong but something did, and it is seemingly impossible to fix. (I'm on Bell if it matters any)

So, I tried to install Darky's 5.2 ROM yesterday. All was going well. I got JPU installed fine and it booted perfectly. The next step was to flash CFRoot with Odin.

Upon flashing CFRoot, my phone started to loop the Galaxy S GT I9000 screen (the one before the boot screen)

It would not stop looping this screen. So I tried to flash back to JPU, no luck. Same looping.

I flashed to JH2 & JM8. Instead of looping the screen, it goes into recovery. I get the following in red text:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(No such file or directory)

E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:copy default media content failed.

E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11

(Invalid Argument)

E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11

(Invalid Argument)

Now I'm at a loss for what to do. Every 2.1 firmware yields the same problems at the recovery menu. Every 2.2 firmware loops the Galaxy S screen (screen before bootscreen)

I've flashed to JPU multiple times, flashed to JP6 multiple times. I've tried different kernels (super optimized and Voodoo) and all give the same results. Nothing is working.

What can I do? Is my phone dead?

EDIT: Looks like my phone is dead.... Internal SD card killed itself.

Off to the Bell store I go....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajuki:
Well, I did the same as I was foolish enough to install a wrong Kernel from CF-root thread. Did you download the right Kernel for your ROM? (JPU)

Its just a matter of download the right Kernel but flashing Darjy's ROM makes it slightly complicated as it has a Voodoo Kernel. You need to flash a stock Froyo using Odin with repartition enabled. Then move on to Custom ROM.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaman:
CF-Root caused me the same problem!!!

I think this might be causing Bell cards to die.

I can't seem to fix this... I've tried repart. with 512 pit and the three JM9 files.. I've tried JPU, JK3, JH2... exact same results.

Any suggestions?

I tried to flash stock JPU, then CF-Root... to install Doc's ROM... but after I flashed CF-Root, got the same problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajuki:
Are you sure you are using the right Kernel? All the firmwares have different root kernels. And also, I hope you are putting the CF-root file to PDA, without repartition ticked.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeryCoolAlan:
Well im wondering if it will actually speed it up I have a 1.3 ghz kernel

Soft Pouch looks ok but pricey

screen protectors if its £10 for one than no thanks

Has anyone in the UK got this Tech 21 d30 soft pouch yet? How does it fit, is the phone easy to get in and out of it?

Nobody has their phones yet, so we cant say;)

But i have ordered both the Tech21 case and the screen protector (50 percent off the screen protector when purchased with the case)

Stupid me! Of course, I forgot about the UK release date. I'm thinking about getting one of these cases when I get back to England.

That would be great if you could let me know.

Did you receive these accessories yet? I'm curious to find out about how the pouch is working out. I finally found a vendor who will ship to the US for Tech21 products and I was able to order the iPhone 4 iSlip case. I'm pretty sure it's identical to the one being sold for the Nexus S but I wanted to confirm with a part number or something similar.

hello everyone, i'm a newbie i bought a second hand t959 vibrant that is sim locked to t-mobile. I have tryed to follow many guides, the one with Generate Unlock in particular but I have the problem that when I connect the mobile to the pc, in the mobile memory there isn't the efs folder so when I execute the generator program i have an error as many user of this forums.. anyone can help me to resolve my problem? on the mobile i have 2.1 android firmware ji6 many thx
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazan:
last night i tryied to flash the phone with firmware E8 posted in a thread on this forum and then try to made the code generator but without success any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
try the instructions found Here at the top click captivate and vibrant instructions or just go here

if you have a root file browser such as root explorer (Not the file browser that comes with the vibrant) you can look for your efs folder using that app. (it should be in the root directory that opens up when you open your file browser /efs )

you can also use ADB to pull the efs folder.

adb pull /efs

or if you just want the nv_data.bin file:

adb pull /efs/nv_data.bin

if you need to see whats in it or back it up (which I recommend strongly weather you do it with a root browser or ADB)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haider3:
Hello, i followed the exact instructions as said on this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=761408

I had tried the one click unlock method prior to this one and it showed file not found so i moved to this long method. I did everything properly but basically when i open sgux.exe to read my nv_data.bin that is in c:\ this is what shows up.

"

SGUX v0.91b (C) 2010 By Mark0 & rbnet

Samsung Galaxy Unlock code eXtractor

(based on a tip posted by rhcp0112345)

Opening file <nv_data.bin>...

Searching code block...

Found.

Searching code...

C:\

"

So basically it says that it found the code but it does not even display the number. I actually opened the nv_data.bin file using a hex editor and i can see that there is some sort of data in there (this probably means that my code is in there) but i dont know why this sgux.exe can not read it.

Can somebody please help!

One thing i should mention is that this phone i recently bought and it came with firmware "t959uvji6" i tried to use the one step unlock method here and failed then realized i should downgrade to "t959uvjfd" and i followed the instructions of of the xda website doing this using odin with both the pda and the pit file. So everything worked. Then i tried one click method again and it didnt work. so i tried the long method and i have shown the results above!!

Please help!

Thanks

I have the samsung galaxy s from tmobile. t959.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
As far as I know the one click method will never work after having JI6 on your phone, you'll have to do it the long way.

if that link I sent you wont work, there is another thing to try, but its pretty complicated. heres my guide for the last person that asked this...

although most people have better luck doing it with that site I sent you to.

Dial *#7465256# and if it all says off then your phones already unlocked so ignore the rest of this.

Follow these instructions to unlock (specificaly by helroz, if you need to, read ahead and see what problems other people have had though)

dial *#7465256# in the dialer (as soon as you hit the last # it should work)

make sure everything says off (this means your unlocked)

EDIT: Make sure you have ADB (Android Debug Bridge) installed on your computer before running the script.

Also make sure that you have USB debugging checked by hitting (from the home screen) Menu >> Settings >> Applications >> Development >> USB Debugging

You can download and install the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) by following the instructions here

This will also install ADB.

another good idea is to make a backup of your efs file (I beleive this is in the instructions for running the script, but I thought I should say it again)

just in case something goes wrong.

this file is located in : the root of your data partition if I remember correctly, it should be labeled "efs"

you can use a root file manager (I use root explorer but it is a paid app) or you can use ADB to pull it.

you may want to download the drivers for your phone as well, if you haven't already that is.

you can get them here
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazan:
thx for all reply tomorrow i'll try to follow your instruction and then let you know
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazan:
hello i have tryied again with root explorer and and generator unlocker now seems to find the file but as you can see in the file attached let me know that found the code but don't display
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haider3:
Hi thank you for taking the time to answer, i will do this right after im done with my exams. Just wanted to ask one thing. You said the code was "*#7465256#", but this doesnt show anything when i press#. I think you meant to say was "*#7465625# works!" Please correct me if i am wrong! Thank you!

hey guys is the jk6 firmware stable enough for me to try out. Does it have any major bugs. Also, is it possible for me to upgrade to froyo after doing this unlock method on the JI6.

Like would my phone become locked again if i upgrade to froyo or did this method unlock my phone forever? Please let me know! thnx

It worked for me on DK17 (Quantum before 2.0) but not on DK28 (Quantum 2.0 & 2.1 - haven't tested newer yet). I asked in the Quantum thread if any known changes may have affected it (& audio out from the Samsung docks) but got no response.
[Epic 4G General] awrnsmn:
I have a Voyager Pro and I use

Vlingo

for voice dialing over BT.....that's the simplest solution I have found so far.....
[Epic 4G General] urushiol:
I would also be interested in getting this working in froyo, or at least understanding what makes it work in DK17. Anyone having this issue I promise you its not your headsets, it the roms.

I pulled all the bluetooth apks and the voice dailer apk from the /system/app in quantums 1.5(working BT-voice dailing), and then pushed them to /system/app in various dk28 roms I had installed, with no luck. It didn't brake anything, but it didn't enable BT-voice dailing.

My guess is there is a lib file missing, dk17 has a bluetooth apk that isn't present in any dk28 roms, "BluetoothPBAP.apk" in /system/app. Its the apk that I think may need a lib or other associated files.

I ended up going back to di18 for now due to the current froyo bug causing failed call connects. I make calls all day long(i know its strange, but I for one use my phone as a phone =D), and I was getting 15-20 failed call connects a day on froyo and it was driving me crazy.

Perhaps someone else can push the dk17 files to a dk28 roms, do some debugging and see if its a missing dependency and if so, which one.

PS, interesting that vlingo allows voice dailing over BT, i'll have to try this one di18, would love to have that functionality.

ps

Here the download link for quantum rom 1.5(the last dk17 verson)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_Steve595:
Radio: 2.15.00.09.01

HBoot: 2.02.0000

I have an Evo flashed to Metro PCS. The person in the store did it, so I'm not exactly sure what he changed. That's not important though, I just need to totally restore it to factory defaults.

The bootloader is S-ON.

I tried flashing a PC36IMG.zip I found, and it seemed to be working until RADIOV2 failed. Everything else said OK, but then it failed at the end. Maybe I had the wrong one.

Any help? I can boot into bootloader and adb works (usually) so there must be a way to restore it.

rooted, installed cw recovery, installed jt's superclean 0.4 DI01 ROM, what would I do when 2.2 or 2.3 comes out? will I have to wait a couple days for a updated ROM to come out for that version of android? Or would I have to go back to stock?
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
Wait for a ROM... Much easier than dealing with having to go back to stock just for an ota

[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Would it be expected to have a Froyo 2.2 rom the same day it comes out OTA if Verizon somehow keeps it from being leaked before?
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
I would think there would at least be a rooted version out the same day. A lot of it will depend on when it is released. If it gets released late at night or during the week, it may take a little longer than if it gets released earlier in the day or on like a Friday.
[Fascinate General] SupraLance:
Another reason not to return to stock to get an update from Verizon: The update may prevent the phone from being rooted again by patching the security loophole that we exploit to gain root.
[Droid 2 General] cinbody:
Hello ya'll,

I have a Droid2 and I maintain a DroidX for someone else.

My question is, is there a difference between the various

rom-like files you see floating around (ie. update.zip and *.sbf)

from one phone to the other?

Do I need to keep track of which one I obtained for which for

or do they work on both? If there are differences, is there a

way to determine which is appropriate just from the file itself?

Thanks
[Droid 2 General] phrozen87:
Short answer, yes. Keep track of everything separately.

Long answer: the sbfs are unique to the phone and also you can't use an sbf with a downgraded bootloader version. These are the factory backup files you can use to fully recover from a brick or simply reset everything to stock. The update files are just that. They update from one version to a new version. But you can't go backwards. So basically you only need the latest of anything as the old versions will mess up your phone. My advice is just keep a copy of the latest sbf for each. Also an sbf is like 350 mbs and an update is <100 mb (usually 70mb or lower). Make sure you get the SBF for the latest official OTA for each phone.

EDIT: Tapatalk cut me off mid sentence :(

[Galaxy S I9000 General] fiforty:
That sounds like it's something that you have to change with your provider. I am with 3 aus and switched off the option to be sms reminded every missed call and it's unnecessary especially seeing as though the phone has that functionality and if you have voice mail you should be sweet to go. Good luck! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silverstorm:
You need to go to the stock samsung Messaging app, then press Menu button to go into Settings, and scroll all the way down to 'Notification Settings' and untick the Notifications option. Now you should only receive it through Handcent only.
