[General Questions and Answers] warlordxxx:
Thanks for the replies don't get me wrong i haven't discounted any of the HTC phones yet and haven't looked for nav software yet just going off what i had read in the forum for some people keeping wm on their phone just to use the satnav software on it.

In terms of speed the android models do appear to run faster?

anyone have any preference with hd2 and hd7 if there is a speed difference sure the hd7 is a lovely option like i said it's only really the ui that puts me off as i really do think it looks terrible for a home screen?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotboyray:
Why can't.I hear people when I make phone calls on my HTC hero cdma? I can hear them when a Bluetooth is connected, speaker, and when I have head phones plugged in... has anyone had this problem before? Should I restore my phone back to stock rom and take phone to sprint?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wireless.praying.mantis:
If you can hear the other person while on a Bluetooth, using a 3.5mm corded headset or using the speakerphone on the HTC Hero, I hate to say it, but you very well may have a defective earpiece hotboyray. The reason I say this is all three methods you mention bypass the electrical circuit of the earpiece and all three work as you stated while in a call. You could always restore your HTC Hero back to OEM and see if the earpiece works. If it does, then hotboyray, some aspect of the ROM code you were using after rooting became corrupted. If not and as long as you have TEP on your account, it shouldn't cost you anything to go into the closest corporate Sprint S&R center and have a TSC either repair the earpiece or worst case scenario, have a replacement device ordered for you. I hope my bit of 411 is of assistance to you.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markhirt:
I had that problem about 2 weeks ago.

The ear speaker module is about a 10 minute fix.

Bring it to your local Sprint repair center for the repair

Since your rooted and I don't know your local stores policy it's probably best to unroot the phone before you bring it in

In my case my local non corporate Sprint repair center does not care if the phone is rooted. They fixed mine for free even though it's out of warranty, rooted and I have no insurance. Your mileage may vary
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotboyray:
Thanks.. how do unroot?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
Run the Sprint RUU. There is one floating around here, somewhere.

even though i unrooted how would i run the ruu thing?

Dont forget that most OC kernels rely on Voltage Control at this moment :)

This is kinda sticky I think... Base steps for a new SGS users (who have some experience with Android though)

Oops, thanks I'll add it in :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Savitar:
Improvement

Maybe you could explain whats this Vodoos Lagfix ist all about? And maybe go into details, why ext4 is much better than the normal partition system samsung uses? Just a guess that would interest some new users.

Though you did a great job, woulda been a lot easier if i had this guide when i flashed my phone :) Anyway, Have a happy life.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] paokaras45:
Great Work!

I think no more details needed!

It would be hard to read!

Over the past 3 days that I've owned the device, i read many many guides, suggestions, forums etc!

Here i found everything that i would like to read at first so i didn't waste many hours on reading
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rmanaudio:
You also need to add that if you load a customer ROM like Darkys, it will override your old kernal. Darkys ROM has kernal already in the package!

As a result 'advanced ULK features' is no longer there with Darkys ROM!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] paokaras45:
Its already there right above Seventh step
[Galaxy S I9000 General] holgalee:
Excellent! :) Thanks so much for writing so clearly and succinctly. I have a problem:

I thought I flashed to JPY but my phone still shows JPA. I've done it both with and without the ODIN Pit file. I've rebooted a few times and even done factory wipe but it keeps showing JPA. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
You might want to include that you do not want to have lag fix applied if your going from stock jpy to a custom rom and how to properly disable voodoo. Could save alot of headaches.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MagicOnline:
as far as I know JPA has 803.pit

BUT

JPY has 512.pit.

did you tick the re-partition option in odin? if that still fails you need to flash first a stock eclair with 512.pit, like JM8 and the repart option ticked. then reflash JPY with repart option un-ticked.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Thanks for all the great comments guys, obviously as things move on(new kernels/new ROMs). I will try my best to keep this post updated as much as possible.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
I'll do that later on today when I get back in the house :) This post will be edited over the next few days in order to make it a really simple guide and the only way it improves is due to the community telling me how to improve my post. So thanks! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Barcors:
Hello,

I did second step and it should reboot into the latest Samsung ROM but it is not! Phone is starting and showing that "S" , a few times goes vibro. After few minutes vibro goes three times at once and phone goes off. Touching screen lights up menu and back buttons. And more: if I left phone it vibrates time to time. Pressing and holding ON button repeating everything again.

Is it really only one file in Odin is needed? Only PDA? Is there no needed PIT file? Maybe there is more settings needed? Please need info how to back my phone. I did only second step! Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
You could try adding 512.pit, but I decided to leave pit files out as they are no longer recommended by samfirmware.com
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkyy:
Great thread, thanks for this Paul! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Barcors:
A lot of thanks

Yes post is great and one of the clearest in the xda :)

Seems to be I am not a good geek because step fifth is not very clear for me. I mean explanation in recovery mode is not the very same like I have. I will give examples later on because I am on the road right now. And I would add general explanation for dumps how everything is an what for. For example: to have fastest sgs first you need flash it to stock rom, then flash an kernel, then do some tweaks in recovery mode, then again flash new suposed to be fastest rom. Something like this if I understood everything right. Sorry for beeing soo nooby I just want to help you and those new nobs who I am shure will appear.

Hi guys!

Look I got a problem after flashing the new jpy rom on my galaxy s. It worked well on ODIN BUT when it rebooted I realised my market ikon is missing, and my data connection is not working. I could mention that I had a froyo xjp firmware with voodoo lag fix and root on my phone. Can you help please?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Did you disable lag fix before installing? Maybe you should try a reflash. And as for your data connection you may have to manually add apn settings, google or search xda I'm sure theres a thread somewhere.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dumitru.corduneanu:
No, i didnt disable lagfix. Actualy i dont know how to. Can you help? Do you think after disabling and reflashing it will appear again?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CLANK10:
Thank you Paul!

I need some help. I have an asian GT-I9000 with froyo 2.2 and JPE baseband (latest). I installed some time ago Voodoo stable 5.0.1 for froyo 2.2 and everything was fine.

Today after searching in Kies for 2.2.1 update (there isn't one for my model) I flashed Voodoo stable 5.1 with Odin and I had some problems. My phone updated perfectly but after reboot got stuck in the 3e recovery screen. Is this normal? After another reboot I could only get to a black screen with some looping vibration. I could only get to the rec. 3e screen and download screen.

Then after trying to correct the problem I had to do a full format with the rec. 3e menu. Was there a better way to recover my phone?:confused:

Now my phone is fine, but I want to update to EU fw 2.2.1 cause supercurio told me there are lots of benefits. Do I need to disable voodoo or anything? Or should I just flash over with odin? After flashing an euro fw, my phone will be recognized in Kies like an euro one?:confused:

Really thanks for your help and topic!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bigears1:
Hi Paul

Many thanks for the brilliant How To, as I am new to this, just a few questions.

will this work if my phone is locked to a network and does this procedure root my phone?

many thanks and keep up the good work
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
You mentioned all the kernels, and mentioned voodoo lagfix and voodoo sound - but failed to mention the voodoo kernel?

I've always found it to be the fastest, especially with 2.2.1

5.0.1 with voodoo sound is the original, released by the creator - and includes no junk which I feel the others do, just lagfix and sound. (no gimmicks such as 'tweaks' or overclock)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dumitru.corduneanu:
I created a disable lagfix folder in vodoo folder on my sd card and then reflashed it again. no market icon appeared. I fixed the internet issue but no market that i can use! Have I done something wrong? My phone is useless now:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
If in doubt, or having phone problems - Do a full wipe of your phone,

*2767*3855#
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dumitru.corduneanu:
ok, just backing up what was left. then i will reflash again and will come back.

thanks:(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
That code is a proper factory reset, unlike the one in settings. (it will set your phone to a completely fresh new 2.2.1 JPY

You shouldn't have to flash again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CLANK10:
This code is the same factory reset of the recovery 3e menu?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Not sure but back up data. I think it deletes everything on your internal sd. It's a full on proper factory reset.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dumitru.corduneanu:
Ok, done. Market icon is ok. proceeding to lagfix and the rest. Thanks lot guys!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CLANK10:
Paul can you help with post#27?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
No, the one in recovery is also the same as the one in settings, the code is a full reset and deletes everything inc folders and leaves just the fresh operating system.

Then, apply the voodoo lagfix and enjoy , I recommend 5.0.1 voodoo kernal, with the voodoo sound. (2.2.1 JPY)

Then install the voodoo app from the market, and turn it to full within the app, then adjust your volume as normal within music player or fmradio etc

And your then all set up :)

Install your apps, then create a backup from within the recovery menu
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
I'm not 100% if euro firmwares are compatible with asian phones, but I don't see why not if the hardware is the same. Before flashing you should always disable any current lagfix then flash the ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
I don't know, but Always disable any lagfix before flashing a rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CLANK10:
Tks Chris, think will do what you reccomended, do you know if I can safely flash an euro 2.2.1 JPY over an asian 2.2 JPE after the factory format?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
Try it, as long as your 3-button download mode is working, if it fails - you can still flash another.

Get 2.2.1 JPY from samfirmware.com, flash it with odin, change no settings.

It should only be 1 PDA file,

pit or re-partition is 'not needed' and should be un-ticked.

Clear efs or bootloader should never be ticked!

Check your download mode is working with the 3 buttons first, this is essential.

Remove any lagfix before flashing any rom.

Edit: also enable usb debugging on your phone in settings.

Good luck

[Galaxy S I9000 General] angry_machine:
great guide..

one question: ill be flashing over ddjp6 to xxjpy, Do i need to use 512 pit cause ddjp6 is 803.

waiting for ur reply.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Possibly yes, if your previous firmware used a different pit file then whats ment to be used with JPY you should use 512.pit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
No, pits or re-partition are not needed if the firmware in question is just one pda file

JPY 2.2.1 is one file
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Woodend:
Hi Paul,

thanks a million!! This is what I, a total greenhorn when it comes to Android, needed. I haven´t started yet, but downloaded all essential files. Speaking of it, what is the difference between HZ=256 and HZ= 512. in the Hardcore Kernel? And is it ok to go for the non swipe Darky´s Rom?

Thanks for any help!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Well HZ is the Tick Rate of the Linux kernel, the higher the HZ the smoother the experience, but it's thought the higher the harder it is on battery life. And yes Darky's no wipe is fine :)

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] erkv:
Paul

This thread is great, I was thinking about flashing a rom and this thread just helped me a lot.i have been reading a lot and nothing quite clear as this.

Anyway you could also explain how to go back to previous roms. Or how to back up the current rom.

Also some explain that phone should be unlock.

Thank you very much for your good work.

This should be stickied
[Galaxy S I9000 General] erkv:
Sorry

I was remember that you can also tell something about the efs folder,

Thanks again
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Backing up your current rom is easy! Just flash any of the kernels I have talked about in my post. Reboot into recovery and select backup/restore, then backup. Nandroid will back up your current rom :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] paokaras45:
Hi!

Just one little thing before flash Darkys!

I now have JPY+spedmode kernel with lag fix enabled.

Do i have to disable it before flash darkys rom from cwm recovery?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Yep, lagfix's should be disabled before flashing roms or firmware for safety reasons. Better safe then sorry.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mull54:
Can you skip step 3 and just install Darky's rom? And after you done that can i install hardcore kernal so i can have the lag fix?

BTW greate thread i'm just a noob at the Android OC.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Yep, don't see why not.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kelvs:
what makes installing the roms faster than without them ? I currently have JPY with the hardcore kernel and don't like installing roms because i find it useless. i'm interested in theming my phone though. but still haven't figured it out without using any rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
That's because you need a deodexed ROM to use themes. Also custom ROMs are much more optimised than Samsung firmware , they can be zip aligned, PNG optimsed and deodexed. All this helps with the overall smoothness
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kelvs:
i still haven't read up much about deodex, zip aligned, png optimized etc :o

so I guess to be able to theme my phone i'll just get the rom kitchen simply for the sake of "getting a rom" to be able to theme my phone ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Yep, Doc's ROM is deodexed.

"Now your super fast kernel is installed, reboot into recovery (vol up+home+power)"

I don't really understand the last part there:, reboot into recovery (vol up+home+power)

When do you do that?

I what to be 100% sure so i don't make anything wrong or brick the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
I don't really understand the last part there:, reboot into recovery (vol up+home+power)

It clearly states its step number five in the post .

So that comes after post four where your phone has been flashed and rebooted .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
The point of booting into recovery after flashing is to enable lagfix etc
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Booting into recovery with your new kernel lets you enable different tweaks such as lagfix.

You have to reboot into recovery to enable tweaks and lagfix if you want your phone to be super smooth.

Thanks for clearing this up for others, been kind of busy today so been unable to check posts.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mull54:
Tanks for the answers but the problem is that i don't now how to reboot into recovery.

Can anybody give me a super easy step by step guide to install the harcore kernal?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Turn your phone off. And turn it on holding down the power button home button and the volume up button. It tells you in the thread....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
To enter recovery mode:

Hold volume up+home+power at the same time.

Its easiest to do it when your phone is on as normal, and keep all 3 held in until you see the first boot screen (samsung galaxy s i9000), then release all 3.

Download mode is done the same way, only its volume down+home+power.

Kernels can be flashed using ODIN 1.3 etc, place the kernel in the pda section, change no settings (efs, bootloader,re-partition etc etc Should NOT be ticked - this is very important), put your phone into download mode and when odin finds your phone, start the flash.

If you dont.have the 3 button download/recovery, you need to get this working before you flash anything!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mull54:
"Now load up Odin, place the kernel's .tar in the PDA section, connect your phone in download mode and flash!

Fifth -

Now your super fast kernel is installed, reboot into recovery (vol up+home+power)"

What will happend when i flashed the phone? Will it start or shut down?

And what to do when it's flashed? If it starts should i power it of and start it in recovery mode? And if it shuts down after i flashed i just start it in Recovery mode?

I'm really sorry for this question!

(I have alredy Flashed it to 2.2.1 JPY)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] KeyzerSuze:
Thanks

Thanks for putting this together, had a good read before venturing down this path. I have lots of faith as recovery mode work - tried and test previously.

My only concern - which hasn't really been addresses - is from what version can yo use this information from.

I was looking at another set of steps for adding darky's rom (my main aim) + 2.2.1.

It talked about using teh cf-root rom - which seems to be reliant upon jpy6 or greater. I seem to have jpy5.

Not sure if this fails into the talk about the different pit level....

Any way have the weekend to fix up any problems so I guess I will find out :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
Erm, not sure what your asking.

But after you flash a kernal, your phone will reboot and boot up as normal.

You can then enter recovery mode to:

Apply lagfix

Apply tweaks

Backup your rom

Etc...

Whatever you choose, its purely upto you, you dont have to apply any if you dont wish.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
If you want to install darkys rom, you can flash voodoo kernal and install darkys through that via install zip from sdcard.

If you choose voodoo kernal, it may apply the voodoo lagfix on reboot (if your phone starts talking... Do not reboot your phone manually, let it finish and boot up on its own)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] KeyzerSuze:
Another thing, might be good to add some relevant time periods to wait - ie after the 2.2.1 rom install how long do you wait for ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mull54:
I meant that when the phone has rebooted should i turn the phone of and go in to recovery mode that way or could i enter recovery mode while the phone is on? And can you overclock the Hardcore kernal?

Is it that easy to install a kernal as you say?:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
Nope, just like every other official firmware JPA uses 512pit too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Woodend:
