I see the Galaxy S dock offers a single MicroUSB connection and then has microusb+audio jacks on the back, so I'm assuming the NS also has this capability. Does anyone offer a microUSB>MicroUSB+audio in jacks cable?

Changes under the hood like kernels and probably fixes from 2.2. Upgrading is called upgrading for a reason. Sure it wont be massive like 2.1 to 2.2 but once we see more versions come out for phones, someone will make a change log of what has actually been changed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Emsal:
I've read the last 10 pages on this forum and can't find a solution.

Every time I try to boot android when the phone is plugged in the computer via USB it won't boot. And later when I try to boot it without the USB plugged inn, it still won't boot. This has happened with most of the android builds that has run stable. It just comes to the HTC screen, and won't boot. My usual fix was to just reformat the SD card. But I don't wanna lose my apps, or people I've added to the phonebook. Is there a quick fix so I can boot to android. Something I can write in the Startup.txt or a file I just need to replace. That would be nice.
[General Questions and Answers] SheepCloner:
I cannot get wifi tethering to work on my Droid 1 when running MIUI, stock froyo, or Cyanogen. I have tried Wireless Tether on all three ROMS, I can connect to the phone, but no Internet data is transferred. I'm currently using MIUI 12.3 and found that it has a built in wifi tether that also fails. Barnacle didn't work either.

From what I can figure out this may be either a kernel issue (I never changed it from stock, but MIUI may have its own?) or a problem with how I achieved root (superoneclick). I appreciate any and all advice! Thanks!

I want to edit the setting on the rom

which files do I have to edit inside the rom zip?

settings such as set USB settings to Mass storage from Samsung Kies, turning off GPS and Auto rotation on first boot.

I dont want to have to load the setting from an apps, I want to have the setting the way I want it after it first boot.

Basically have the setting slipstream into the rom, that way when I flash the rom, all the settings is already the way I want it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.storm85:
Sup,

I was just wondering if there is a way to figure out which ruu version my phone came with. I'm all rooted and aint goin back if Idont have to but just in case something goes wrong and I have to unroot. Thanks in advance.

Evo - Myn 2.2 RLS 3 - Clockwork - HBoot .76 - Netarchy 4.2.1 CFS HAVS
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlGmanlx:
RUU's are an exe file that basically flashes things to your phone instead of recovery. if your rooted all you need to know is you never take any OTA's and you will never lose root, just flash the updated ROM of choice. The only reason you would really need to even have an RUU is if you wanted to lose root
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.storm85:
Yeah I just been seeing people having problems going back to stock with some RUUs. And I seen around quite a bit that if you use the exact ruu that came with your phone you wont have any issues. Maybe I dont have to but rather take the "safer" route. So I rooted a long time ago and have no idea what ruu I was on. This is what I do know about my stock phone.

Hboot 0.93

Hardware Ver. 0003

Radio 2.15.00.07.28

Oh wait my phone was originally 2.1 then I did the froyo update then that was my info. So actually im noy sure about.my original build...damn...any help anyways? :)

Evo - Myn 2.2 RLS 3 - Clockwork - HBoot .76
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
You'll probably want to use the 3.29. The 3.70 may work for you but it's probably safer to use the older one and then let the phone update itself afterward.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jroid:
Check to see if your battery died somehow, but if you can't turn on your device even with a full battery, you have a real bricked phone.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timsterzzz:
Call tmobile and tell them that your phone said it was updating and once it restarted, it never came back on. They will have you check a few things and then send you a replacement for free. In the future be very careful when learning to mod your phone, ask questions when your not sure. This replacement trick will only get you a phone one time.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceElliott:
No; it is unlikely that you are out of a phone. Try this method, either buying or making a USB "test jig." (You can make it if you know how to solder.)

http://board.teamwhiskey.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=209

If this does not work, there is another method that is expensive (but less than $500 for a new phone). You will need to find a technician with a "JTAG" test device who has a special bootloader software module from Samsung. The device uses an interface other than USB to access bootloader memory and downloads the bootloader file to the bootloader memory in order to boot the phone into a recovery environment.

The only way that your phone would be completely unrecoverable is if there was a hardware failure at the same time that you were playing around, which is unlikely.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duce HD2:


Dude it's bricked....game over. Call tmobile and just tell them your phone doesn't turn on anymore, don't tell them how it happened, just that it stopped working. They will send you a replacement for free, if you're still under warranty it is. I bricked mine 2 weeks ago and got my replacement the next day. I tried EVERYTHING to get it back to life....but nothing. Sometimes it happens even though you follow all steps, especially if it messed around with your bootloader.

Good luck. It's no ones effen business what you say happened...most likely they do the same.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoodDraw:
You've got to be able to get into download mode to do that though. I think that's the problem.

I'd mess around with it for a bit and try all of the tips to get into download mode. I can't believe you'd hard brick it based on what you said. You are positive your battery is okay?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scooby999:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanbaoquan15:
Nah, you don't need a Jig just yet

I've ran into that problem MANY TIMES!! The first time it freaked me out too.

Take out the battery, take out the sim card. Leave it for about 5 minutes. Then do these steps:

- plugged the phone in without the battery

- Hold down the 2 volume buttons

- As you're holding those 2 buttons down, insert the batter

- You should be in download mode

- Proceed with Odin
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceElliott:
Agreed. Then, if the technique above does not work, try a jig. You will know that you are in download mode when you see the large yellow triangle with the android digger.

You probably should read more background in this forum before attempting more flashing, etc. For example, you will need to read up on how to download and use ODIN to re-flash your system after you get into download mode.

I am familiar with Odin and flashing phones, in fact, I used to repair phones. I am very skilled at soldering (I used to solder to unlock the iPhones back in 07) but. Am just new to samsungs phones. I am an htc user and very knowledgable with them. The file I flashed I got from a sticky on the vibrant page and assumed it was a safe file to flash. I am not phased by those guys jumping down my throat because I made a mistake, it's apart of life what's important is that you learn from it. Anyway I'll keep toting with the phone worst case scenario I'll do a repair with samsung no biggie. It's just hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that with a simple flash the phone is completely inoperable.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mulcahyd:
Hey. Try this method, I have done this over 100 times so I know it works.

1. Remove battery. Do not put cover on yet.

2. Open odin.

3. While battery is out, press and hold the two volume buttons down and press hold the power button.

4. With the other hand, reinsert the battery.

5. Odin should recognize it, you should see yellow download picture on the phone.

It may take you few tries but it does work.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Why is everyone suggesting he use ODIN, when multiple times he said he can NOT get into download mode. Yet people keep suggesting ODIN.

You need to be able to get into download mode to use ODIN.

However, the OP didn't respond when a couple people suggested an alternate way of getting into download mode, i.e. take battery out, sim out, sd out, and try the trick suggested by someone here.

I'm curious to see if he/she saves the phone!

Also, the poster never said which update.zip he used, other than just saying the one on the vibrant page? HUH? Which update.zip did you use?

"The file I flashed I got from a sticky on the vibrant page and assumed it was a safe file to flash."

One last thing, it appears via the JIG thread below, the bootloader may need to be intact to get into download mode, even with the usb JIG.

According to the thread

"If your phone screen is always black, that is it does not display the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo when you switch it on, then sorry, this jig will not help you. "
