[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdan35:
Hello guys,

To cut a long story short, my cousin wants me to hack is Samsung Galaxy GT i9000.

I rooted his phone in August and it was working perfectly (I play around with my Desire quite a lot) and since then he's tried to get rid of the root to update to official Froyo and something has happened to the USB.

I have tried to install every driver known to man kind to get this phone recognised by 3 laptops and a Desktop PC. 1 XP, 1 Vista and 2 Windows 7. I have been using USB Debug Mode, I've tried it without Debug mode, I've tried every USB slot, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, kies, even deleted the phone from Device Manager and retried that... and nothing has happened. I can also get in to Download mode but unfortunately the computer still doesn't recognise the USB so therefore I cannot use Odin to flash the phone.

Any help? Cheers

Dan

Are you using x86 or x86_64 OS? Both of these drivers are available at: http://code.google.com/p/insanity/downloads/list -- try 'em?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdan35:
Tried all that already mate, but I tried again just in case, and nope.. No avail whatsoever. This is majorly frustrating now.

I can access Android Recovery (eventhough originally Clockworkmod was on there, but my cousin has done some strange things to this phone) so I think if I can find a verified signed update.zip, I can install something through that no problem, via the Internal SD Card + "apply: update.zip"?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekloc:
I have black screen showing with words vibrant and Samsung displayed on it.

I see quite a few posts about it and I am hopeful it can get fixed. What's worrying me about it is the way I got this problem.

Two days ago I bought two phones - one for a Christmas present and one for myself. I had one phone unlocked, rooted and upgraded to Froyo 2.2 by the seller.

Last night I gave it as a present to my wife but I wanted to associate her gmail account with it. So I added new account through settings. Then I wanted to remove my account from it but it told me that it's being used by other applications. It said that I should delete personal data through Privacy settings - and I did.

When I rebooted I've got the black screen. I wasn't flashing or doing anything crazy. Why would it happen?

I see Android is quite sensitive about gmail account associations! On my second phone I cannot associate any gmail account, can't access Market etc. I found the workaround to login first to YouTube app but that doesn't get me access to Android Market! Why is gmail account linking to Android phones so finicky? Is it only with Galaxy T-Mobile phones or is it present accross the board?

Btw, great forums - lots of info here. I am glad I came accross this awesome site!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Your problem of how you got it is...

Confusing me,but gmail IS sensitive to android , if you lose your lockscreen password your gmail gets it back you can say that gmail is the core of android.

How to fix

On the android development section for vibrants theres a sticky known as the bible

Read through it

Download necessary things ull be provided

In the end you'll use a program called odin to set your phone back to normal

Then you can root again and flash a better froyo
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekloc:
Thanks xriderx66!

I read a lot and finally fixed one of my phones but I am still learning a lot from you guys.

Now my biggest task ahead is fixing Android market as I cannot log into it. For me everything is complicated by the fact that I have my phones unlocked from T-mobile. I read that when you flash with ODIN you might relock it permanently. But hopefully there is workarounds for that too!

Thanks for words of encouragement!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucarcamagno:
i flashed my hd2 with a cooked rom (energy: very good), and i noticed rom size is only 204mb (half available). i read in the forum that problem is related with hslp.

is it correct? is there a way to flash a cooked rom with hslp and more rom size?

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
thats about right. 512 meg total physical rom size, most roms once installed take up about 300 meg, leaves you 200 or so free.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucarcamagno:
thanks for answer but situation seems different. i don't read '512 total, 200 free', but '202 total, 100 free'.

in other cooked rom, flashed xith hslp, how much rom is?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
do you mean RAM or ROM?

for regular hd2.

rom = 512 meg hardware total, approx 300gets used when you first install the rom, leaving around 200 that you can use to install programs and files.

BUT

if you meant to say 200 total RAM then you probably installed rom 3.14 using hspl, which loses half your ram and makes the phone unstable so don't do it.

Hi!

I've got a problem with my HTC Desire.

Today I've found a new upgrade for my phone. I've downloaded it but when it tries to install the upgrade, it say that there isn't enough space in the memory's phone.

So I moved all the apps on the SD, but is still not enough.

How can I free some memory? I could delete the cache of the older upgrade or something else?

Or there's an app to check which app is still on the phone but I could move them on the SD?

Please, help me! :)

Do you have pictures and videos? If so, check if they are on the SD card and not on your internal memory. Cleaning your cache helps, and try deleting your text messages threads.

Not enough free space

I have a Samsung Captivate. I do not have Root Explorer. My phone has been rooted. I have Super Manager. I wanted to change a parameter in the settings.db file. I was able to do that on my desktop. I want to swap this new file with the old Settings.db file. The dbdata directory does not show up on my desktop. So I have tried to cut and paste the changed file which resides in the sdcard folder. So I need to go from that folder to where the orig Settings.db file resided. When I get to the point of pasting I get an error saying that I don't have enough free space. This file is only 57KB and I have roughly 12 GB of free space on SD card. 3.7GB internally. Any ideas how to correct the error.

Note: I don't have "Root Explorer" because I do not want to give Google Checkout access to my bank.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
I don't have any issues with cropping or seeing what you are mentioning.

Have a try with the App 'Crop Wallpaper'. If it works using this method you will then know the problem may be down to an issue with your Gallery App.

The Gallery App uses a lot of compression.

Also, have you tried making a wallpaper from a photo taken with the SGS's camera?

If it works you will then know it is something to do with either the source files or the the Gallery App not liking the source files.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dakine:
I know what you mean, could be some kind of crappy compression going on but sometimes i'm not sure if it's just the screen that isn't sharp enough to my liking. Banding in dark gradients is also an issue that really bugs me, if there is a solution for that I'd love to hear it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
As I mentioned above, try Crop Wallpaper.
[Captivate General] KGB ate my bread:
Obviously, I've got an issue on my hands.

Let me start by saying my Captivate has been unlocked. I remember buying my captivate after it'd probably been out a week and had updated it on here with an update.zip that I downloaded. That had rooted the phone pretty early on. I had saved the old phone data/backed it up, but I can no longer find where I saved it

In any case, I need to update the phone one way or another to see if that will resolve the issue. What would be the best way to go about this?

Here's some info that I feel I should add that is relevant:

If I power cycle the phone, I get a message that says no update was applied to the phone.

Firmware: 2.1-update1

Baseband Version: i897UCJH7
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
You already has the latest update JH7, at least according to what your info indicates.
[Captivate General] kegobeer:
What issue do you have?
[Captivate General] KGB ate my bread:
I think so too, but I keep getting the message that the update wasn't applied every so often. I'm not too concerned, since my phone's not downloaded it recently and tried installing it lol

not getting any MMS/SMS. The last time it did this, it eventually 'fixed' itself and I got a flood of texts all at once. However, it's again stopped.

I read awhile back that google's been having some messaging issues with Android, and I think this might be my case :(. All other service works fine (Data, voice, GPS)

yeah me too, same problem, 2 months or older roms was working good, now i can't use any new builds (every xdandroid or neopeek's build with sp3dev or seandean kernels), always the same story, system boots ok, than after 30 seconds freeze, and i have to pull out battery...

????

try this

hello,

try this:

1) remove the SIM and boot first wimo then android

2) check the mobile data connection put this off

3) reboot wimo and android and wait

4) when back to android check that you have the correct apn

5) if now you have a stable androi try to enable the mobile data connection

the above steps worked for me.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
2 things that I can help you with is:

1. DONT install a lot of Apps

2. Keep a simple low res, .png wallpaper...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] pirlano:
i can confirme that now it works!

i found another freeze cause: automatic setting of clock from network

and hw keys now works very well using seandean v4b normal kernel

so these steps should be more safe and complete:

1) remove the SIM and boot first wimo then android

2) check the mobile data connection put this off

3) disable automatic setting of clock

4) disable gps (just to save battery)

5) shutdown phone quickly at first boot or it will freeze

6) plugin SIM card

7) plugin wall charger and wait 10 second (wait for led flashing)

8) power on phone, winmo than haret and wait android is fully loaded

9) now you can unplug wall charger, and hw key will not die anymore :D

10) check that you have the correct apn

11) if now you have a stable android try to enable the mobile data connection

12) you're ready to use android without freeze :D

;)

very soon we will have camera support too, and i hope new 3d driver (following htc touch pro 2), i hope our xperia one day will be at the same level of an HTC Hero (25/26fps at neocore)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
When you open the ruu via Windows (only to the Welcome screen), go to Start > Run and type in %Temp%, hit enter. You should then see a rom.zip file, extract from here and rename it to PB99IMG.zip (not PB99IMG.zip.zip) and place it to the root of your sd card. Then power off your phone and load bootloader (hold down vol down key and press power button once). When in bootloader screen, take your finger off the vol down button and wait for it to flash.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
You don't open the zip file, just copy it to your Desktop, for instance, and then rename it to PB99IMG.zip. After renaming it, place it to the root of the SD card, unmount the sd card and then turn off your phone. Turn it back on with the vol down button held until you enter bootloader and then sit back and watch it do its thing.
