[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 754boy:
Ok, I recently got my hands on a MT3G, no 3.5mm, and I'm trying to root it. It came with Froyo already on it (2.2.1) and as far as I understad, no one click method works for 2.2.1? Anyway I'm trying to downgrade and use the goldcard method but I keep getting the Main version is older message. I've used 3 different sappimg files but same thing. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? This is my first time trying to root :eek:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
You didn't make your goldcard right. Secondly, stop flashing different sappimg.zip's or you'll possibly end up bricking your phone. Lastly, this is rumored to still be working with the 2.2.1 update. If that one doesn't work, post your fastboot info here. With the phone turned off, turn it on holding back+power and post everything you see there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] itsyasuperman:
I rooted my mytouch 3g a few days ago, I used super one click, and my phone has no 3.5mm jack. all 32b phones work with super one cancel so far i know
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 754boy:
Ok guys the Super One Click method worked for me. Got rom manager installed. Made backup and now trying to flash Cyanogen 6.1. But it gets stuck in reset loop. What's the deal now?

Not sure there, could you link where you downloaded it from.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 754boy:
Downloaded it straight from the Cyanogen website http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
I mean precisely which file? Is it some like CM-6.1-DS?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 754boy:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Try doing a full wipe "data, cache, dalvik-cache" and reflashing the ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] itsyasuperman:
Your problem is that you have a 28.25 radio, which is new and cyanogen doesnt support it yet, he will soon enough though. You either have to find a compatible kernel with your radio or flash this rom

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/11548-cm61-2708port-for-new-radiospl-unofficial/

Flash this rom and it should work. If it worked hit the thanks button.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
If it works then let us know that it worked so we can move on. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 754boy:
OK, about to try this now and will report back.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NetrixTardis:
I think you need to get the 1.33.0013 SPL if you are using that radio... someone may need to confirm this, but you should look info that to see if this is related...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 754boy:
That's the spl I used and all is working great now

Was the hole turn on -->> turn off -->> turn on usb debugging needed?

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 754boy:
I think you need to do that only if your PC is having problems detecting your phone. All I did was plug it in with USB debugging enabled.

Cezar's JPY if you want stock with some decent addon options

DesignGears's Perception 10 if you want everything to "just work" and smoothly

Darkyy's 7.8 (or 8.0 once that's ported) if you want a themed version of JPY

now: wrong section, /thread
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
I'm sure some people won't be too happy about this thread ;)

Most of the JPX/JPY-based ROMs are fast and stable. I haven't tried many of them, but I find Darky's to be the fastest and most flash-looking, whereas I found Cezar's to have the best battery life. Also, after installing a ROM, you may want to experiment with different kernels for different performance, tweaks, and battery life. Once you choose and install a ROM, most people here will be happy to help you work out any issues you might have.

Also, take note that if the Captivate is batch 1008 through 1010 (you can look under the battery to find the batch number), you will NOT be able to Odin one-click or revert to JF6 stock using any method, and you'll be limited to only installing JH3-based or later ROMs once you've installed a 2.2 or 2.2.1 or later ROM.

quickly before I'm flamed for posting......my thoughts on everyone's complaint about posts being in the wrong place.....if you don't want n00bs posting in the developement section, then you need to remove the stuff they want. Post up comparison threads and "it's live" threads somewhere else. leave this place for developers. Make it so noone but developers have any idea what is going on. As long as this board is the place to come to for ROMs, you will continue to see posts like this. Or in a perfect world everyone would just flat out ignore any post in the wrong place.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alexnoalex:
Sorry if this was already posted but I banged my head on the wall for a while before I figured a fix so may be it will be helpful to someone.

I tried to flash Roto-JME over brand new AT&T Tab. All went smooth but at boot up I saw AT&T start screen followed by black screen with vertical white line on the right. Then device would boot ok. I would get the same screen in recovery mode.

I also tried to flash JM6 but result was the same.

I figured that it must be something with SBL/PBL from AT&T not liking European Tab kernel (or other parts of firmware).

Long story short - I flashed JJ4 because it contains boot.bin and sbl.bin and they are not from infamous JMA/C/D etc signed firmwares. And voila - now I have regular Samsung logo and normal boot without lame white line.

After that I flashed JME and had no problem since.

The end result - my bootloaders are not signed:

SGT-BootloaderCheck v1.0 - Copyright (C) 2010 Chainfire

boot.bin: Unsigned

sbl.bin: Unsigned

zImage: SIGNED !

Assessment:

-- Bootloaders: Unprotected, can flash all bootloaders and kernels

-- Kernel: Signed, can be flashed on all bootloaders
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] quickk:
thanks alexnoalex,

can anyone else confirm this work as mentioned, and safe?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
I can confirm that this works, but, since we don't have stock bookloaders for at&t, its a one way trip. If you go back to the stock at&t firmware that I built, it will boot blank and you wont be able to see the stock recovery screens.

Its not perfectly safe in that if you fail to flash JJ4 bootloaders you can brick your tab. But once you have them, your tab becomes perfectly compatible with the euro firmware.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alexnoalex:
So why boot.bin and Sbl.bin pulled from AT&T stock using dd will not work?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
I only know the results. Anyone who has flashed them back, either through Odin, Heimdall or dd has created a brick.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Jeepsdaddy:
AlexnoAlex,

What was your procedure for loading JJ4 combining with Roto JME to fix the white line... Can you explain in details whether you had to do in odin (.pit, repartition, etc.)...

Also are you able to return to At&t Stock?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
Not at the moment, so this is a one way ticket.

Attached are the jj4 bootloaders for you to flash using Odin, no pit file, use the PDA button.

Make sure your computer is working well, it sounds like it is. I would't flash bootloaders on a flaky system.

I really really hope you did a RotoBackup since earlier today. If not, please do it before flashing this file.

I only recommend this firmware for AT&T Tabs that have the screen problems.

I'm on irc if you need assistance.

View attachment 496999
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Jeepsdaddy:
Yes I did the RotoBackup per your instruction.

I'd prefer to wait until it is no longer a one way ticket. I need to be able to return to stock. The way I understand it now is that I can easily return to stock from my current state. Is that correct?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Jeepsdaddy:
From Chat. To test with JME v4
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
What are we testing with the swype?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
Can we flash the .tar file to fix the black screen with the white line for at&t tabs, then use the bootloader fix .apk to unprotect our tab?

Or, what is the procedure to repair the black screen with white line?

This happens when you re partition a stock at&t tab, then flash Roto JME.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
Just flash the JJ4 bootloaders, as they are unsigned. Then you are finished, theres no need for the patch.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
Thank you Roto-Amigo. The jj4 bootloaders flashed though odin in the pda spot, now the at&t tab has the logo restored, the black screen and white line is gone.

Failed to update

Hi!

I tried this with the attached file, and had no success. As I'm quite unfamiliar with Odin, I will post an image of the failure but I lack debugging know-how with this tool. I'm willing to do whatever, but don't know what "whatever" is. :)

I appreciate any advice, especially with the information-gathering process. (Note: I did download again, from a different computer, with the same result.)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
Everything in odin set up looks good except the fail. Are your pc drivers correct? Was your tab in download mode? Did you see if your current bootloader is protected by using chainfire's bootloader patch? Let me know what works.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] delovelady:
:eek: Sheesh, I had not been in download mode. In my (weak) defense, I had only done this once - and that's to apply JME4. I'll get better. The patch is applied and all looks well! Thanks for your indulgence, and for the prompt!

I knew the drivers were correct since nothing has changed on this PC (haven't used it) since applying JME4 to the Tab. I'll have a quick search for chainfire's bootloader patch.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] donovan1983:
I got one of the 3500mAh batteries last week and so far I'm impressed. I haven't tried to test how long it will go without being charged, but can definitely say that 2 days of moderate use is no issue. I can see getting 3 days out of it pretty easily. This is with 3G and WiFi on, some GPS use, some web browsing, and a couple hours of music playback a day.

The main downside is the size and weight. It adds 6 or 7mm to the back and at least a couple ounces. For me the tradeoffs are worth it since I can confidently use my phone as much as I want without having to look for a power outlet.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gregrunt:
Can we get some physical pics of the phone with the battery? Would it be impossible to have a case of any sort with the battery? I'd assume so, seeing as it virtually acts as a fat protruding case from what people have said.

You won't really have a case unless you modify the case. Unless you get that stealth guard full body case. Can't really do much since no one is making a case to even out the bulge of the battery.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Chinam4n:
On top of that, you can't really see the back unless your flip it over. Its not like the phone is a model.... doesn't have to look good. Just gotta do its purpose.
