I think he means a "factory data reset" (Settings, Privacy, FDR)... either that or a repair through SEUS, or PC companion.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GH057257:
Hello.

I am trying to copy-paste my quite extensive mp3-collection to my Galaxy S. Its about 6GB.

The problem is that I don't want to use Kies as it mucks up all my ID3-Tags...at least it did the first time I tried it.

I just put the phone in Mass Storage mode and tried to copy-paste the Mp3's to the /music folder on the external SD. When I tried to let it copy all together I disconnected the phone properly (safely remove, then disc. from the screen) and let the media scanner run...it didn't find anything. When I connected it to the PC again I saw that the /music folder was empty and the /Lost.dir folder was 6 GB. So the files probably ended up there somehow.

Afterwards I tried copying the folders with my mp3s one by one, disconnecting the phone after every one and letting it search again and again and it worked fine for the first 3 GB...after one more copy paste it lost the new folder and wiped half of the rest which were working fine by then along with it.

I also tried doubletwist and WMP, same problem there.

I'm running Froyo.

Thanks for reading. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kil43:
When you say you have tried WMP, have you sync'ed them to the card as you would do a mp3 player? It has never failed on me in the past so not sure what else to advise.

Also you may have a corrupt SD card or a fake? Make a backup of the files you have on it at present, then format the card, replace the back'ed up files and try again. There are allot of fake cards sold on ebay and there are some programs about that give diagnostics on cards so might be worth running one to see the genuine capacity and/or to see if there is any corruption.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GH057257:
Yep, I tried syncing as with a normal MP3-Player. Its really weird as it does this only with music and it also does it retroactively...it has lead me to believe that theres some kind of problem with the media scanner.

The card is bought off ebay, but its original Kingston...it was sealed up and everything. I formatted it yesterday just to be sure...didn't bring up any errors...I'll take a look at those programs you mentioned though.

Thanks.

Hmm... If it's only happening with music it might be worth checking to see if there is any DRM on the music files as well. If there is any you'll need to run them through a convertor to remove this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
My music files all AAC+ moved to external SD card .

New Folder on SD card named SONGS and placed all music in that folder via USB mass storage mode .

But all my music is DRM free .

Hi there,

My knowledge about lagfix can be said 0%..but i am planning to try this lagfix on my Galaxy S running Froyo 2.2 JPO....so i went to the project website and i found there are 2 ways for me to instal it on my phone :

1) Update.zip method

2) Odin

It stated that Odin is for expert only of course i am not eligible for that but i just want to know what is the differences between those 2 methodes?

My second question is, can i deinstall this lagfix in case i found it not helping and how to do so?

Last question, will this lagfix affects my phone to been upgraded via Kies in the future (upgrade to 2.2.1/2.3 and so on....if Samsung still care about us!!!)

Thanks in advance;) for all your help and maybe can be guide lines also to other Noobs like me..but i guess i am the only noob here!!!!:p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagicOnline:
A: Update.zip is the safest method. You need to boot in recovery mode to install update.zip. How-to Recovery-Mode can be found in the SGS FAQ in this forum. Odin needs the Odin flashtool and is, like stated, more for experts and more risky, therefore use update.zip.

Yes, this info can also be found in the voodoo documentation on the voodoo homepage. "You can disable Voodoo lagfix by creating a file or folder named “disable lagfix” in a Voodoo folder on your internal SD card.

Then Reboot to apply changes."

to Uninstall it completely you need to flash another kernel. this needs advanced knowledge in flashing. how-to can be found on the voodoo homepage as well.

If you ever plan to flash or do an update on your SGS remember to disable voodoo lagfix before that. Even when using Kies. Always disable it.

Hope my answers are correct otherwise correct me. ;)

BTW, voodoo lagfix is simply great !!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazrazr:
ok maybe i am too lazy to scroll down all the infos in the voodoo lagfix project....bad me...one more thing....can you explain this one:

Copy the Voodoo package as /sdcard/update.zip at the root of your SD Card.

is it the ext. or int. SD card?...what is root of SD Card???? totally blank!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagicOnline:
when you open your standard file manager (app eigene dateien) you are automatically in the root of the folder sdcard, which is the highest level of a folder structure you can't go upper/higher, unless your android is "rooted" (but thats another story). this is the internal sdcard memory. the external sdcard is located under /sdcard/sd, which is a subfolder of /sdcard.

just save this update.zip at this place.

hope you understand what i mean.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazrazr:
ok..now it is very clear...thanx again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazrazr:
hmmm new problem....when i try to apply the updatezip.file......my phone cannot find the file eventhough i have copied the file in my sd card...btw 1st time i just copy paste the RAR file into sd card and the same problem happened...so i think i need to extract the file 1st. so i extract the file first and copy it into my sd card and try to apply it...the same problem happened...did you see anything wrong i did?????
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ofulanof:
You need to have update.zip under /sdcard/ folder, not under /sdcard/sd/ which is external memory.

And file must be in zip format and named exactly like update.zip, lowercase.

voodoo-fix-blah-blah.zip is WRONG

, if you have a RAR file, you should extract what's inside, probably it contains an update.zip for you to put under /sdcard/
[Nook Color Android Development] johnopsec:
This -> View attachment 464007 <- archive includes the modified wpa_supplicant file that supports ADHOC mode, along with scripts to switch back and forth between the ADHOC mode wpa_supplicant and the stock (Infrastructure only) wpa_supplicant on your NC.

The included file adhoc-switcher.sh is will do all of the work for you.

From the included README file:

Unzip the archive View attachment 464007 into the same directory as your adb binary.

Execute ./adhoc-switcher.sh in your adb binary directory.

# md5sum adhoc-switcher.zip

e682e1578df1a253f1e4c42fd89f37d5 adhoc-switcher.zip

When you run adhoc-switcher.sh, you will see the following output telling you what it is doing:

$ ./adhoc-switcher.sh

(1) Remounting /system as read-write...

(2) Making backup of original wpa_supplicant at:
/system/bin/wpa_supplicant.original...

(3) Making local backup of /system/bin/wpa_supplicant.original...

2070 KB/s (226036 bytes in 0.106s)

(4) Pushing up new files to /system/bin/...

wpa_supplicant.adhoc: 1662 KB/s (226028 bytes in 0.132s)
wpa_supplicant.infrastructure: 1711 KB/s (226036 bytes in 0.128s)
ap: 6 KB/s (271 bytes in 0.042s)
adhoc: 6 KB/s (253 bytes in 0.040s)

(5) Setting permissions on new files in /system/bin/...

(6) Setting Wifi mode to Infrastructure (ap)...

(7) Remounting /system as read-only...

All done!

To switch between Access Point (AP) [Infrastructure] mode and ADHOC mode,

execute the following commands on your NC:

# su

# ap

To switch to Access Point [Infrastructure] mode, execute the following

commands on your NC:

# su

# adhoc

You should turn off wifi before executing these commands.

Hope you find this useful.

John - your friendly neighborhood e-thug. :eek:
[Nook Color Android Development] rxr:
Thank you. Will give this a try.

Any chance of anyone creating a toggle widget that can toggle between both with a simple tap.
[Nook Color Android Development] monsterpt:
Very nice John. Good quick fix for the adhoc switching. Appreciate the effort.

Sent from the totally awesome Rooted Nook Color
[Nook Color Android Development] johnopsec:
I'd love to do that but, my netbook just isn't up to the task of running a full-on android dev environment. Over Christmas, I'll try to remember to bring the "big" laptop back with me.

If someone else beats me to it, that would be great too. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] likearaptor:
Maybe we could get the SoftKeys app to allow a new button to appear to toggle the wifi setting?
[Nook Color Android Development] edison:
Hey there, Mr. eThug. Thanks for the update. But I didn't it was necessary. After installing the original fixed wpa_supplicant, I can connect to adhoc and infrastructure networks. Or is there something else I'm missing?
[Nook Color Android Development] johnopsec:
The ADHOC capable wpa_supplicant has a bug that requires you restart wifi any time the NC sleeps. The original does not. Since my personal use is with standard Infrastructure (AP) connections primarily and ADHOC only on occasion, I decided that it would be handy to be able to switch between them easily.
[Nook Color Android Development] KitF:
You have a typo in the script, line 28 I think, should be "adb shell" and you have "db" shell.

Messes with permissions.
[Nook Color Android Development] johnopsec:
I just verified from my local copy and also downloaded the archive I uploaded to the site. They're identical and in every instance, it is "./adb shell" just as it should be.

Any possibility you opened adhoc-switcher.sh in an editor and accidently deleted a character? ;) Other than that, the MD5SUM of the original archive is:

# md5sum adhoc-switcher.zip

e682e1578df1a253f1e4c42fd89f37d5 adhoc-switcher.zip

Make sure that the MD5SUM matches for what you downloaded.
[Nook Color Android Development] KitF:
Oh that's right, I must have messed it up somehow converting it into a windows Batch file.

Any way we can get some sort of GUI app or a widget toggle for this? Seems like it would be handy for when I need to tether to my phone when there's no wifi around.
[Nook Color Android Development] johnopsec:
Cool. Glad we tracked that down! :D

I'd love a widget or app to switch between them. Two things though... This is a temporary "fix" for an issue. Once they get the bugs worked out of wpa_supplicant so it can support Infrastructure and ADHOC and not have the sleep issue, we won't need to switch back and forth between them. Second: I don't have a full-blown android dev platform to do an app or widget myself so, someone else would need to do it.
[Nook Color Android Development] webvan:
Maybe using gscript lite as was done here : http://www.chinadigitalcomm.com/android-a81/a81e-connect-to-ad-hoc-wifi-t1413-10.html
[Nook Color Android Development] nikescar:
I suppose running sh scripts doesn't work on Windows?
[Nook Color Android Development] johnopsec:
Nope. But if you're up to the task, it should be easy for you to convert the script to winblowz .bat format for the most part.
[Nook Color Android Development] nikescar:
I tried to modify the scripts to run through gscript and I thought it worked initially. Then when I went to switch it waste my wifi. Had to restore from the backup.

Gscripts would be nice I'm just not smart enough to do it.
[Nook Color Android Development] KitF:
Did you switch Wifi off before switching?

Also here's my converted .bat that I used:

echo
echo "(1) Remounting /system as read-write..."
adb shell "mount -o remount rw /system"
echo
echo "(2) Making backup of original wpa_supplicant at:"
echo "/system/bin/wpa_supplicant.original..."
adb shell "mv /system/bin/wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant.original"
echo
echo "(3) Making local backup of /system/bin/wpa_supplicant.original..."
echo
adb pull /system/bin/wpa_supplicant.original
echo
echo "(4) Pushing up new files to /system/bin/..."
echo
echo -n "wpa_supplicant.adhoc: "
adb push wpa_supplicant.adhoc /system/bin/
echo -n "wpa_supplicant.infrastructure: "
adb push wpa_supplicant.infrastructure /system/bin/
echo -n "ap: "
adb push ap /system/bin/
echo -n "adhoc: "
adb push adhoc /system/bin/
echo
echo "(5) Setting permissions on new files in /system/bin/..."
adb shell "chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant.*"
adb shell "chmod 755 /system/bin/ap"
adb shell "chmod 755 /system/bin/adhoc"
echo
echo "(6) Setting Wifi mode to Infrastructure (ap)..."
adb shell "ln -s /system/bin/wpa_supplicant.infrastructure /system/bin/wpa_supplicant"
echo
echo "(7) Remounting /system as read-only..."
adb shell "mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system"
echo
echo "All done!"
echo

A bit messy but it works.
[Nook Color Android Development] nikescar:
Thanks for the bat.

What I was trying to do is modify the scripts to run through the gscripts app for Android. That way we could switch on the go a bit easier. Sure I could use a console emulator but one click (actually two) is what I was looking for.
[Nook Color Android Development] webvan:
I might give it a try later, the .sh files available here http://www.chinadigitalcomm.com/android-a81/a81e-connect-to-ad-hoc-wifi-t1413-10.html can be opened with a text editor and it looks like the command just "crushes" the file.
[Nook Color Android Development] donballz:
I can see the ad-hoc network created by my phone and I connect. But none of the web-based apps are working. Says I am connected but no data comes through. Any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] greenmky:
The .bat file is a good idea.

I factory reset my Nook again (tried to return it for one that flickers less). I had to go through this again. I was distracted when going through the commands and had mucked something up - Wifi wouldn't start back up at all after I tried to switch back and forth. But I knew it worked because I had it working yesterday.

Poked my head in and checked security (ls -l /system/bin) , I could tell the security of the files didn't match. Looks like I missed one or two of the chmod commands (kids were probably distracting me). Fixed 'em up and it's working fine now.

At least with a .bat file or the like, there's less chance for a typo.
[Nook Color Android Development] webvan:
@KitF - thanks for the Windows .bat file !

All working here, a few comments :

- I was concerned about having to drill down into the wifi settings when toggling adhoc/ap but it's not the case, besides when you're on the road your home AP won't be available

- I was able to import the scripts into glite, just rename adhoc to adhoc.sh and ap to ap.sh, place on SD card and load the script from file

- Problem is that Zeam won't let me add shortcuts for some reason (goes back to home screen) and Linda File Manager does not let me associate the .sh files with gscript...so the only solution I've found so far is to add Gscript Lite to the home screen and then tap on adhoc or ap.
[Nook Color Android Development] nikescar:
This is what I tried but something got messed up so I reverted to the original. I'll try again.
[Nook Color Android Development] suzook:
delete...figured it out
[Nook Color Android Development] animeGhost:
ok maybe im missing something but ive read this thread backwords and forwards but im kinda new to the android scene. I'm using win7 x64 and i cant figure out where im supposed to put the uncompressed files from the zip file to get it to work with the .bat script KitF created can someone please explain this to me. I tried extracting it to the adroid-sdk-windows folder thinking thats what they're talking about when they say the same directory as the adb binary (unless this is actually on the device in which case i cant even see the device as a drive in windows)! Someone plz help i been trying to get this nc back to 100% for about 12hrs now!!!

**EDIT**

I figured it out
[Nook Color Android Development] deitiphobia:
So were you able to get an icon working in Zeam?
[Nook Color Android Development] xwint3rxmut3x:
Are these scripts in the thread somewhere? I'd like to go about this the same way as you did.

EDIT: Nevermind, I downloaded the zip file and there they are. Has anyone used gscript lite to run the initial install of the adhoc script? I'm trying avoid using ADB if neccesary. I don't have it installed and i'm not over excited to do it.... thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyecrispy:
Can someone tell me how to get this working in GScript Lite? I'd like to be able to do that. It only seems to allow me to load a script from an sd card.

Works great tethering to my iPhone 4 using MyWi.
[Nook Color Android Development] willywayne:
I used Desktop Visualizer to create a widget for each. If you have it setup in GScript Lite to run ap or adhoc, you can use Desktop Visualizer.

After you add a widget for Desktop Visualizer to your home screen, click on it, select your icon, then click select action and then other. Click on GScript Lite from the list and then your ap or adhoc script and then click ok.

Ive been trying to find the command to turn wifi off/on and add that to my GScript before it runs the ap or adhoc script.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyecrispy:
That sounds really cool, but I don't even know how to get GScript Lite to load the script. It seems to want to read from my SD card, but the scripts arent there.
[Nook Color Android Development] likearaptor:
I had that same problem. Create a folder called gscript on your sdcard and put the .sh files there. Then you will be able to import them.
[Nook Color Android Development] swest6602:
Had to run this twice, but that was probably user error. AdHoc now works great. Thanks! Loving the NC. Hopefully with a couple tablets we'll get some more gooc video and game apps soon (Netflix....)
[Nook Color Android Development] rvictorg:
Is it possible to make an .apk program that can preform this? I just think it's a little too complicated for my girlfriend to figure out and a simple program to do this task would be really helpful for many people.

Thoughts?
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
I installed everything as directed, and then went into the Nook Wireless Settings page to turn off WiFi.

I then entered the terminal emulator and executed "su" and "adhoc".

Both commands look like they worked properly; however, when I return to the Nook's wireless settings page and try to turn WiFi back on, it tries for a few seconds and then displays "Unable to start Wi-Fi".

If I return to the Terminal and run "su" and "ap", then go back to wireless settings and hit the switch for WiFi, it works perfectly and resorts to the normal infrastructure detection functions.

Any idea what could be going wrong? Why would one script work, but the other one fails?
[Nook Color Android Development] droiddog:
The adhoc and infrastructure don't show up in the folder in gscepits (only the switch.sh). Do you have to rename them with a .sh at the end?

Sent rom my NC using XDA App
[Nook Color Android Development] suzook:
Another way of doing this.is with root explorer. Just copy all the files to your/ system/bin directory, set the permissions, and walla...,script works.
[Nook Color Android Development] likearaptor:
Yes you will need to put a .sh at the end of the scripts.
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
For anyone following along, I did manage to get it working by simply running the .bat file found early in the thread. I must have finger-f*cked a command when I hand-jammed the entire script in the shell... MY BAD!

Anyways, all is right with the world again, I can tether! :D
[Nook Color Android Development] hairlista86:
how did you figure it out? I'm stuck...
[Nook Color Android Development] xwint3rxmut3x:
Can you give a quick once over of what you did? I'd like to try this method I believe.
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
Working Tether

Huge thanks to johnopsec and KitF for getting my Tethering working from my Droid X!! :D

I ran the .bat KitF created and that worked like a charm. I can now move between my home wi-fi and my DX Wireless Tether without having to switch modes, which is incredibly awesome!

Thanks again for the great work on this!
[Nook Color Android Development] Goodfella80:
Thanks, I used this method and it worked perfectly.
[Nook Color Android Development] DefTaker:
So you don't have to go into terminal to switch back & forth...wat do? :D

Just copy/pasta teh .bat file and use root explorer to install?
[Nook Color Android Development] tekchip:
Good folks. I've got the better part of a full blown Android App for doing this switching easily. I did the UI and most of the functionality in Android App Inventor. There are a few things that still need to be done to make it workable that are slightly beyond my knowledge. I'm hopeing some brilliant person on XDA can take it the rest of the way. Everything I've done is detailed in the ReadMe contained in the zip file.
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
Dumb question, but any way to enable both adhoc and infrastructure at the same time without having to switch?
[Nook Color Android Development] NuroSlam:
infrastructure works with the adhocfix its just a problem if the NC goes to sleep

i use the adhoc while i drive to work and as soon as i walk in the door i untether my phone and the NC goes right to the wireless router in the store
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
ok, good to know. How to fix the sleep problem (thought I saw a thread about it on here but search is faililng me atm)
[Nook Color Android Development] NuroSlam:
i know of no fix for the sleep issue as of yet,
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
Okie doke, last question I promise (fingers crossed just in case :D), nook goes to sleep, reverts to infrastructure only, how do I get it back to adhoc? Is that the point of the switcher?
[Nook Color Android Development] NuroSlam:
If the nook goes to sleep with the adhoc supplicant, you just need to stop and restart wifi in settings, or download the wifi widget and do it from the main screen
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
Thanks for your help. Just picked up my nook and am gonna start in on it tomorrow morning. Wanted to make sure I was clear on what I was doing :D
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
Ok, I'm back. :D

Anyway to install this on 1.1 via CWR? I cannot get ADB to recognise my NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] donballz:
Try ADB wireless app in the market. Gets around all those pesky driver issues.
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
Not having any luck getting the market to download apps :D I'm having all sorts of fun.
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
Ok, got the market sorted, d/l ADB Wireless, and viola, I'm in! thx

So next question, how the heck do I "execute" ./adhoc-switcher.sh? I've no clue how to use adb from the command prompt (or any other way for that matter)
