[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hoodmin:
Wow thank JDROM. This recovery mode really looks promising. I got the file manager working but I can't seem to find any directories with DCIM/ label or any media. Sure looks like this could help me somehow. Might only have half the SD mounted or something. I'll have to play around and read some more, but I gotta say this is the best progress I made in a while.

THanks SO much :D

Edit: Found in File manager to run partition manager and formating options show up. In here there is mounting options to /mnt/sdcard or /mnt/external_sd except when I try it returns the E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 to /mnt/sdcard with parameters vfat(null) So hmmmm....

Edit: Also learned a bit more about ADB commands to possibly ""Adb pull /sdcard/DCIM"" if I ever get it mounted.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuryriderX:
That sucks man...i had a bunch of stuff on my phone that i lost when the internal died....mine took out the external sdcard i had in it too - so all my backups were destroyed as well!

Moral of story: Save important crap on something like dropbox!

Some dev should make a program that automatically syncs certain directories (like pictures, or backup folders) to dropbox. I'd donate for that.....

I tried to Odin to stock T-Mo but I cant get passed the Galaxy S boot screen. It just goes black and if I touch the buttons they light up but phone stays black. I tried a number of times also clicked on repartition in Odin. Odin tells me everything passed but when the phones boots ROM Manager screen comes up goes through a check list with one line in red that reads "Data wipe Failed"

Can someone please help me out. Ran Odin many times but I cant get the phone to go back to full stock. I click repartition but it seems Odin does not wipe the internal SD. I am so vexed. Someone help :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.orange303:
I have never partitioned. Or whatever. That can cause a soft brick.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charlie Brown:
I have before in it went well. The phone (my wifes) was bricked to begin with. It would not go past the white vibrant screen. So I Odined back to stock. It goes through the T Mo stick together screen then gets to the Galaxy S animation. But after the galaxy s logo he screen turns black and only if I touch the buttons to the buttons light up. I tried to reflash via Odin a number of times but I cant get the phone to fully boot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samyvibrantuser:
What ROM you had before going back to stock?

Any lagfix? If yes disable it..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.orange303:
You should do it again. No repartition. Wipe data. Dont touch it. Odin will boot up the phone when its fully done.

Try eugenes froyo that doesn't brick then reset odin and then go to stock firmware I mean it couldn't really hurt anything
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charlie Brown:
Okay it also accured to me to try Eugenes. So I did and it worked. But I can not install any programs. It tells me there is not enough space. Then when I look at settings/storage on the bottom it reads 0 space for apps.

Strange no? Any ideas

Thanks to everyone so far. I really appreciate it!

As I understand it as soon as you odin eugenes froyo you have to reset odin get the phone into dl mode again then use odin to put in the stock firmware
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charlie Brown:
he female voice came on, everything went well but when the phone went to reboot it got hung up on the white vibrant screen. So I tried to Odin to JDF stock. Then it would get passed the galaxy S animation and go black screen.

Eugenes froyo works but my app storage is at 0.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charlie Brown:
Yeah. Tried it on this phone which is my wifes and it bricked for some reason.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Settai:
You gotta find a way to disable voodoo. Theres a way to disable it by putting something directly into the Voodoo folder but I cant find it =/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
Jacs kernel always gave me bricks for some reason. Do what they said again. Flash to eugenes froyo that doesnt brick with repartition checked. Then RIGHT AWAY make sure you have the jfd rom for odin and flash that using odin with repartition unchecked. Dont try to flash a clockwork recovery rom from eugenes froyo that doesnt brick because you arent done fixing it at that point.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
once this is fixed if you want voodoo, upgrade to a 2.2 rom and use supercurios own modified kernels. Never had a problem with them.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charlie Brown:
I cant get to the voodoo folder. I tried every firmware there is and only Eugenes froyo will fully boot. But I cant install any apps so I can get to me system folders so i can see whats going on.

Im so stressed and tired it aint funny.

When I flash a T Mo rom and the phone reboots and goes through a series of line checks (yellow text) I get red text that reads "data wipe failed". Then the phone boots, t mo jingle, then galaxy s screen, then black.

Anyone??? Devs? PLease?

Do you have root explorer?
[Nook Color General] turdbogls:
So I just bought my wife the NC. I really want to root it but she wants to wait until the 2.2 update which is supposed to land this month. My question is, will the update over ride root? Or will root block the update. Or is there a way to unroot if for whatever reason we have to send it in or something. I know there is the 8 tries goes back to stock but can you force that if everything is running smooth?

Not sure if it matters or not but I am planning on using autonootrr to do it.

Thanks for the help in advance. Really looking forward to getting into this thing. Looks like a blast
[Nook Color General] >DARKMAN<:
You can always force the 8 failed boots, hold power button till it comes on then let up 3 seconds and hold until the screen turns off, and do this 8 times.

Or if you have adb working you can run this command line>

echo -n -e "\008\000\000\000" > /tmp/foo; adb push /tmp/foo /rom/devconf/BootCnt; adb reboot
[Nook Color General] Musicman247:
Android 2.2 will probably not come in the January update, but more likely will come around March. The January update will probably mess up root, just like the 1.01 update, so you might as well root now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojoatt:
I have a ATT type Nexus One (not Tmobile), unrooted, with latest froyo.

The life of the battery in 3G mode vs. 2 G mode is astonishing...pretty ridiculous.

I'm searching but can someone tell me if there's been any fixes or advancements in regard to this problem?

When at home I use wifi as much as possible. I leave it on 2G but really, I can't take the slow speeds of 2G, but 3G setting is suuuuuuch a drain on the battery that it seems unreal.

i've had nokia's and more in 3G, my wifes iphone is 3G... and all of them had nearly more than double the battery life.

I hate the voice quality of 2G, I'd love to be able to just leave at 3G, but it's merely hours before it's nearly drained set on 3G. it's got to be a problem (and one that hopefully can be fixed).

Why would 3G setting be sucking THAT much power (decent-strong signals too here)?

Love my nexus1 and I'll live I guess but this problem...it's a bit much.

Any news on this issue, or other things I can consider or change/try to help this? (3G)

thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Set your WiFi sleep policy to NEVER. Even thought you're using WiFi at home, whe nthe screen goes off the WiFi shut off and 3G kick in.

Menu>Settings>WiFi settings>Menu>Advance>WiFi sleep policy>Never.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojoatt:
Oh very sorry, I should have said I did set this to never and saved changes.

In fact, I think I've set it 1000x now btw, over some time it STILL always disconnects from wifi (might be router disconnecting though, perhaps I should set an IP manually to solve this??).

GPS and BT are always turned off until needed as well (used very rarely anyways btw).

But when I'm away from home for example, I turn wifi off and test the difference2G vs. 3G and the difference is waaaaay too much, 3G just CHEWS at the battery no matter strong signal or medium.

I find it hard to believe 3G really has to eat up that much battery when set compared to 2G on a Nexus. A little bit to nominal ...sure, but not like this (say like 4-6 hours if i left it 3G for a day with little usage).

What's really happening here? Nothing from google/HTC on this matter?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHaste:
Heh, i get just the opposite... out in the farmland of west toledo, im getting 2G but typically GPRS and that rapes my battery where as 3G i could go on standby for days if i didnt touch it...

What radio are you running? if your phone is constantly looking for a signal then that may be your problem...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I have the same issue on 3g. Home on WiFi is ok but when I go out during the day on 3g it just kills my battery.

The reason is because android OS keeps the data session open at all times where other OS's close it down when not in use. It's just the nature of how they designed android.

As a test, one day turn off your data connection but stay on 3g and see how good your battery life is. This is how some other OS's work normally.

It's a trade off we have to make for being always connected on android.

For example voice actions need to reach out to Google's servers to work. So in the interest of speed of having to open the data session each time, the OS just keeps data open on hand at all times. But that kills battery quicker.

That's what I've found anyway.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
That's because the phone is always on the lookout for a 3G signal, if you know you aren't going to get one, just set it to 2G only and your battery life will massively improve.

Well what did you flash?

Not to be harsh but thats almost £300 that you could have just fried. Should really do some research and not just flash willy-nilly.

if you just want a fast phone I advise flashing Darkys ROM 8, the wipe version seeing as you dont really know what you might have done. You will first need a kernal with ClockworkMod recovery. What I just said should be enough for you to get back on your feet. If its not, shout up.

Also... 'Help...!' isnt a great topic name.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarr622:
Darky's is more buggy due to the extra bloat and his lack of experience in building ROMs. It does look pretty though.

Doc's is great plus you have the awesome flexibility of the online kitchen and tons of different themes.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w98seeng:
Did you do a factory reset after flashing the phone? Backup everything first as this will wipe all data that was left from the previous ROM, including contacts, but it will ensure a more stable OS.

You can access the factory reset from recovery.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00ndu:
Of all rom, you go flash MASTER's rom?

And mind you, you are still in JP2! Just recommend a rom of XXJPY. There are plenty out there for you to flash, and it is NOT limited to only just Darkyy or DocRambone's ones. jim panse, nitr8, webstar1, just to name a few....

Suggest you go to the sticky and check out one of the threads there regarding those roms.

Hope this helps.

Not so much the rom as its been flashed by newbies who never read the posts plus their has been a constant update and change that does not cure bugs .

Forum littered with help posts broken phones all the same rom .

My recommend would be Rom Kitchen http://romkitchen.org/sgs_v1/#

samsung_stock_jpy keyboard

plus whatever apps you want at boot .

easy install via clockwork recovery

once working you can always modify the specs and change .

It's certainly worth a shot. I had the same thing happen to me once a while ago and it seriously extended my battery. There's some threads here that describe the process which essentially involves discharging and charging your phone off and on and deleting the battery stats through CWM.

Have to remember as well that each user may see different results with the same Rom. Kernels. Modems, Roms perform differently from one device to another based on a multitude of factors. After you have done the basic steps to try to stabilize battery drain, I would then begin by experimenting with different kernels and modems.

Idle drain is the test I normally use after ensuring proper battery readings, sensor usage and app CPU behavior. Many times simply flashing to another kernel shows immediate results.

Definitely try a different kernal or modem. Generally, you can find feedback in the rom thread about what kernal or modem gives the best battery life.
