[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiro_uspsss:
ok I have a problem:

I got started on my Mums phone..

opened up odin

grabbed the wrong file - I was supposed to select 'Aries_P-SBL..yaddayadda' (I wanted to get 3 button recovery working.. I accidently selected the speedmod kernel file..

it then rebooted & never got past the first screen with the samsung name & phone model on it.

started to panic.. tried repeatedly to get into recovery.. nothing.. tried to put the Aries file on.. failed.. tried *heaps of times to get into recovery again.. nothing.. tried to put the Aries file on.. success!!! I can now get into recovery!

BUT

it still doesnt go any further than the very first screen with the samsung name & phone model.. basically, I'm quite certain that all I have to do is some how get darkys v7.0 on there & I'm set.. how do I do that seeing as I cant get the phone to boot into its OS, thus I cannot transfer the file across like I did with mine when it was connected to the pc?

cannot get phone to act as dumb storage device

CWM working, check - when I boot into recovery I can see CWM related things (& fiddle with settings RE: to it) - I can also see the speedmod things & fiddle with settings...

I grabbed an mSD card, chucked Darkys v7 on it, put it in phone... cant seem to direct it to it.. it cant 'see' the ex.sd card while in recovery.. I made an attempt to mount the ex.sd (or so I thought) but no go

the adb program sees it, so does odin..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712433

ok so followed the instructions.. a command window popped up, stayed a while, then, just before it dissappeared, text came up - dunno what it said.. the file isnt on there tho. I attempted this with the phone in recovery mode

yeah, I can get it into d/l mode..

rather not put anything stock on there atm.. I've got a bad feeling about doing that

I can have the phone in 3 diff states:

recovery mode

download mode

sitting on the very 1st screen with the samsung name & phone model displaying..

on my first attempt @ pushing the file onto the phone, I put it into recovery (is there a nice, non-confusing way to abbreviate 'recovery'?) mode - & it didnt work.. I just tried d/l mode.. the command window popped up, but only came up for a split second - too fast for it to transfer the ~190MB file.. I'll check, but I doubt it...

edit: na, didnt take

sorry for the 'copy & paste' job from another forum.. any ideas on what to do?

no one? :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oswade:
Umm, your post is a little unclear, but I'll try and help.

As long as you have download mode, you should be fine to flash any stock rom with odin. Why are you scared to flash a stock rom? It's very strange :confused:

You probably should select repartition in odin and flash a middle package firmware (ie. as richothen often provides, or any eclair firmware afaik).

Then if you want a custom rom, flash CWM or any kernel with CWM recovery, and flash the rom.

Pretty simple...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiro_uspsss:
essentially, all I want to do is transfer darkys vs7 onto the phone, but I cant do it the usual way (which is thru windows & when the phone itself is in its os)

the phone wont boot into its os - its stuck @ the very first screen - I can only get into recovery mode & download mode

so how do I tranfer a file?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjornj:
you could flash a stock rom and then start from the begin and do everything again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiro_uspsss:
I dont think I can flash any rom - I would need to transfer the rom file onto the internal sd, which I cant do

I need to know how to transfer a rom file (preferably darkys vs7) onto the internal sd, using either recovery mode or download mode, as the phone will not boot into os (it hangs @ very first screen)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiro_uspsss:
alternatively, how do I get rid of either CMW or speedmod? or both?

better yet, how do I get the phone to boot into os?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiro_uspsss:
surely someone has an answer? :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caskast:
Download a stock rom reboot into download mode then fire up odin and flash then once the phone boots up you can transfer darkys rom :)

EDIT: samfirmware.com and download XXJPY flash PDA no pit untick repartition

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiro_uspsss:
didnt work..

in fact.. I've made it worse.. I can no longer go into recovery mode.. & the phone no longer displays the first normal screen - it displays the phone-!-pc thingy :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiro_uspsss:
ok I reflashed the 3 button fix on & the speedmod.. now I'm back to where I was before

can someone please please help me with this? :(

its been like this for almost 3 days :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwsk:
Get to download mode, flash a stock rom through odin, (whatever you had before the whole mess), then start over. Make sure you have all the correct settings when flashing with odin, using the right pit file etc etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiro_uspsss:
yep just did that:

mild progress..

did the flashing..

no longer hangs @ the first screen.. instead, it gets past it, plays the samsung 'S' tune & clip.. then shows the S for a while longer.. then goes to a blank screen, which is where it stays, occassionally vibrating as well... thats it, thats all it does :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Thats the symptoms of a bad/incorrect flash .

Flash again with all the correct settings and files .

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] madrascafe:
Thanks to JimmyChingala for creating the app.

Let me tell you why this useful. You can side load you ebook, apps etc. via wifi. I know we can do this with CIFS as well, but this is a small footprint app and can be easily enabled/disabled as well. I prefer this as pushing files to the NC is easier than trying to navigate via cifs IMHO.

Now gettin' down to business...

Step 1: Go HERE and download the SambaFilesharing3APK-b101226-2.zip file. This can change as and when Jimmy decides to make updates etc.

Step 2: Unzip the apk inside the zip file.

Step 3: Install using ADB or copy it over to NC/sdcard and install using Root Explorer/Astro type File Manager

Step 4: Run the app and DO NOT FORGET to ALLOW Superuser access. THIS WILL NOT WORK IF YOU DONT DO THIS

Step 5: Also, the first run will be a bit slow, the app has to unpack some additional binaries into its private data space.

Step 6: Please change "username" & "password" PROMPTLY and without FAIL.

Step 7: Go to Win/Mac and connect to the ip address displayed. Voila. You're in.

WARNING 1: FOR NOW ONLY THE SDCARD is visible. So dont post questions about why can't i see the NC Folders.

WARNING 2: Do copy a LARGE FILE over this as it is bound to fail. I have tried this with 2MB-4Mb files and not seen an issue so far & presumably 100Mb works as well :eek: . See this POST for more details. A fix is on the way.

FEEDBACK REQUESTED ON:

1. Battery Life - How does it affect if you leave it on all day. Please let me know so that i can compare it with mine & others

2. Speed.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

Uninstall any previous (non-APK) version of SambaAndroid you have. As root on your device:

# /data/local/samba/bin/samba-rc stop
# rm -r /data/local/samba
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# rm /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks/96-restart-samba
# rm /system/bin/dhcprootshell
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ctos:
works great! thanks for sharing!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jay084:
Could you elaborate more about Step 7 please? I've installed samba on my NC (enabled superuser, changed username and password etc). Now on NC screen its displaying "Enabled - Running \\ip address \\ANDROID.

How would I connect to the ip address displayed on my nook? Step by step instructions would be appreciated.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] madrascafe:
You must enable samba before u can connect to it. Hit the settings icon = in the bottom and touch enable. U r good to go then
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jay084:
Must Samba be installed on my desktop PC (maybe a server)? I have folders/files that are already being shared over my network through XBMC.

I have already enabled Samba on the nook. Is it supposed to "see" my existing files that are being shared on my network (i.e. movies)? How can I access the files being shared? Will my shared files be downloaded to the SDCard so I can view them?

Again please explain the process a little more.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] docfreed:
What's the big deal?

Just get WiFi File Explorer in the Market - "no step" setup to see your Nook on your WiFi network!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Mikroft:
Only the Pro version of wifi file explorer allows you to upload files. The free doesn't.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] zdrifter:
After installing the Samba server on the NookColor and opening the Samba menu (on the Nook) to fill in a new user/password you may want to also enter a workgroup name the corresponds to the workgroup on your local network.

Reinitialize the Samba server on the NC after entering this info, then on your PC open windows explorer and scan your Network. The SDcard on the NC should show as a 'PC' on your network with the ID 'ANDROID' (unless you changed the ID in the Samba menu). You can then move files to/from the SDcard. Unless you set up 'shared files' in some way there will be no shared files, but the ability to move files wirelessly and browse the SDcard from your PC; very helpful for most.

You do not need any software on the PC ... also this assumes your router assigns IPs using DHCP
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jewnersey:
howdy.

im on windows7 and trying to get this up and running but failing.

ive changed user/pass, disabled then enabled, click network (on pc) and it never finds the nook.. ive tried to scan for wireless devices with no luck.

there is probably and easy/obvious solution for this, but i do not know what it is :)

//i can ping the nook and it responds, but it just doesnt show up anywhere..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] KryptoNyte39:
Open Windows Explorer, or just "Computer" from the start button (orb). There is an address bar at the top of the window, similar to Internet Explorer. In the address bar, type this (for example):

\\192.168.1.100

(in your situation, type whatever IP address appears on the NC itself once the Samba server is started, the IP address I showed here is an example only)

Then hit <Enter> on your keyboard.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] KryptoNyte39:
You can also use:

\\android
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jewnersey:
thanks,, i knew there was an easy solution. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] swapdotavi:
Well, the EASY solution is pony up $3 and buy Websharing off the market. I tested it last night and it was completely painless. It works somewhat like adb wireless, (in that you just press "start" on the NC then connect on PC) but instead of using a terminal to connect you just connect to an IP in a browser and drop files directly to the SD card or NC itself there. Super easy, works perfectly. I loaded multiple video files last night and it was great.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] KryptoNyte39:
I'm not sure how you could make it any easier (or cheaper) than the Samba Server mentioned in this thread. Fire up a Windows Explorer window, type in \\android in the address bar, and drag and drop files.

After you do this once, the computer can even finish typing the path for you. If that's too much work, just create a shortcut on the desktop that takes you straight to it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Bobb_o:
So I just tried to sideload a book through wireless and the file transfered fine but I had to restart the NC to get it to come up in my books section and able to have it in a shelft etc.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] madrascafe:
thats the draw-back for side-loaded book anyway.. A small price to pay :rolleyes:
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] madrascafe:
This is the DEFAULT... You can change it to anything you want in "Settings"..:cool:
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] madrascafe:
Why do u have to spend $3 when this is FREE!. Might as well spend it on something else IMHO.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] swapdotavi:
Well, for the reason I stated; it's easier. I'm not saying this method is really hard, or that it's not worthwhile. I'm just saying if a really easy to use app with a good UI that basically does exactly this in a browser instead of a terminal is worth $3 to you then there is an option available :)

The transfer rate is quite quick and the UI is pretty awesome. I got it yesterday based on someone's recommendation in the sideloaded apps thread and it's pretty good. For my the ease of use is a nice feature because my girlfriend uses my nook as well, so not having her call me every time she wants to load a new movie or PDF is easily worth $3. YMMV.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] devlogic:
Wouldn't using the "Media Scanner" utility that's in Development.apk (pulled from an Eclair emulator) prevent the need for a reboot?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bartimeus:
Hmm. I am having problems accessing this. I get the prompt to enter my username and password but then it tells me that windows cannot access \\ANDROID.

Do I need to put something as the domain when it asks for the credentials? e.g. ANDROID\nooksdcard or is nooksdcard(on the default domain) adequate?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] madrascafe:
Try using the IP address instead.

Also check if its something to do with your firewall.. Are you trying to use this from you work computer thats in a domain? if so, sometimes admins prevent you from mounting external shares in group policies..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bartimeus:
I tried the IP address with the same permissions(i think)/domain problem.

I tried it from work and home, but at work i am the domain admin so my user account has everything enabled.

Edit: could it be because i am not changing the workgroup setting?

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ksc6000:
Do I have to create a home network to do this?

I don't understand. I don't have a network setup or anything. I just have a wifi router, a few computers hooked up to it.

When I type in \\ANDROID or the ip address or anything in my computer..it just says "Windows cannot access \\ANDROID ..."
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Uberspork:
This will be very helpful. I'll try it out.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tj!2k7:
Try connecting to \\[IP address] instead of the host name. Also, from my experience, at times I have to ping the IP before I can connect to it. Lastly, make sure the screen is turned on before you try connecting.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ksc6000:
It worked on my Nexus One, but it just refuses to work on my Nook Color. Thanks anyways. I'm gonna be reselling the Nook Color.

Hi,

My DX is crashing at least 2-3 times a day. I believe it is the Superuser app, because when it comes back up it gives me the message of the apps with superuser access which didn't do before.

I had it rooted before updated, lost root, then rooted with Z4root. Since then it has been crashing. Any idea? Should I re-root with a different method? unroot first?
[Droid X General] rossiscatch:
Other than rooted, are you using a custom rom? Overclocking? Installing any new apps? Deleting any system apps or other files?

Give us more info.

Personally if I was having that issue, I would do a fresh rom install with full data/cache wipe and/or an sbf depending on the set up or precipitating events.
[Droid X General] NotATreoFan:
Since you are rooted, it is common for those Superuser messages to appear. They are related to the DX Bootstrapper verifying that the OS booted normally.

As for the crashes, try doing a Repair Permissions from within the ROM Manager app. You can do it through the terminal, but this is much simpler.

any chance you are undervolting or overclocking? Only time I've run into reboots. If so, probably not giving it enough juice to run stable.

So I know that installing the SDE voids your warranty. If you format it all and go back to all the stock, will the warranty then be valid?
[Gen8 General] Kashban:
Short answer: According to Archos the device will be permanently watermarked by installing the SDE, so no.

Long answer: Depends on where you live and how warranties and other consumer rights are managed.

Most likely a hardware error not related to the SDE will be repaired / replaced, I guess. There is a risk though.
