[Galaxy S I9000 General] kingofpain69:
hmm strange the imei under status is different to the one on the box i will try that now,

and the more complicated thing if it does not work lol

thanks guys really appreciate the help
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kingofpain69:
ok so i did the imei number on the status and it has sales code xee a blank box below it with a circle at the end that turns green if clicked and below that install or cancel, i tried clicking the xee it doesnt change just can click the circle to turn it green, should i press install?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
He did state that the phone was on vodaphone, GT-I9000HKDO2U is an O2 sales code, I did suggest XEU because vodaphone codes are GT-I9000HKAVOD or GT-I9000HKDVOD, in this case he has GT-I9000HKAXXX, and while changing the sales code only the last three letters would change. If he does change that to O2 code then it will change to GT-I9000HKAO2U then keis will not recognize the phone again, because there is no such sales-code.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
My friend, download JPY from here: http://www.multiupload.com/UHJNT0K1F2 Extracting code is samfirmware.com

Flash using odin 1.7 : http://www.multiupload.com/JMBJGDN00I

Load the extracted tar file in odin as PDA and flash, after that enter the recovery mode and do a factory reset.

Use the images here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846913 as reference if you did not use odin before, but you must start odin, load the tar file as PDA and then put the phone on download phone before connecting the phone and flashing.

Entering download mode is by pressing and holding Volume down key + Home key and then pressing and holding Power on key till you get to download mode.

Entering recovery mode is by pressing and Volume up key + Home key and then pressing and holding Power on key till you get to recovery mode, navigate using Volume op/down keys and select using Home key.

Good luck..

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kingofpain69:
can i just ask a noob question before i do the whole odin thing, do i have the latest firmware?, is 2.2 the same as 2.2.1?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
No 2.2 is pre 2.2.1 both Froyo /

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kingofpain69:
do i need to put the xeu csc into odin as well or just the jpy?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kingofpain69:
What is flashing with odin to jpy going to do for me? Allow me to use kies to update or just update to 2.2.1 i dont understand?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kingofpain69:
Im going to attempt this now, what i need to know if for my specific phone, which pit. and csc file do i use along with the jpy? i downloaded the packs on the tutorial so i have them all there are 3 pits and alot of csc's, im not sure which ones to use for my phone.?

and do i need to bother with the registry hack for kies after ive updated to jpy?

also is there a way i can backup the firmware on there now before doing this incase anything goes wrong?

I have just downloaded that file and it requires unzipping then inside the folder is a tar file .

JPY_JPY_JPY.tar that goes to PDA in Odin .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
No it's not, pull the battery out for two minutes and put it back in, enter download mode and flash the extracted JPY_JPY_JPY.tar as PDA with no pit file, JPY_JPY_JPY.tar as PDA only, just the as JJEgan and I told you earlier and you will be OK.

It's almost impossible to brick the Galaxy S when you have download mode working, so just relax and flash the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kingofpain69:
ok i finally reflashed it on my gf laptop for some reason it wasnt working on my pc no matter what i tried, its now on jpy 2.2.1, thank you for all your help and all the details you gave me.

so from now on i can just use odin and the latest jp<whatever> to upgrade when 2.3 comes out? i guess thats not so bad even if i cant use kies as long as i can update it im happy, thanks again.
[HD2 General] xandercom:
I have been at this for 16 odd hours and have overcome wifi probs, activation probs, chevvy issues.. done 3 flashes of wp7, radio updated.. all is grand now but the memory card issue!

Please, someone allow me to go to bed by explaining how I can format the card to show more than 200mb?!

I have taken the card out, formatted on my pc, reformatted with other tools, am stuck, and have spent the last hour searching through threads for info I had earlier but can no longer find! it doesnt help that any search containing "SD" is ignored as xda search sees it as too small a word.

Who wants some good Karma? :-)
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
I really dont get why this topic is been creating/cloned etc on a regular basis??

Please use search function, this topic has been discussed many times.

Use some commen sense, dont look for "SD", use keywords like "WP7" and "200" or "200mb", "partition" etc. Or even reading the readme that came with the WP7 rom would be a good start :(
[HD2 General] xandercom:
Why not help me instead of witholding what you know and making me forrage around one hell of a mess of a forum to find information I have been searching for since this afternoon????????
[HD2 General] xandercom:
from the read me, and i quote "WARNING: WP7 will format the SD card during the first boot.

Two SD card partitions are created during cold boot.

First one is a 200Mb FAT partition and another one with unknown format which

is used as RAID with main memory."

That doesnt explain how to change the RAID partition into physical memory I can access from the device...
[HD2 General] changochulo:
Here is what you need to do:

Make sure your SD card is in the phone

Do a factory reset by going to settings>About>Reset your phone.

After WP7 reboots, it will recognize your card and all the date.

You will have to re-enter your Activation code.
[HD2 General] xandercom:
Thanks for the advice.

Is there any way this can be done outside of the device? I have heard that I can get an SD formatting tool but whatever one I downloaded did nothing to help.

I am reluctant to do the 4th hard reset of the day for this OS as a) there is talk of the auth code working only 3 times, and b) I have everything else working now and dont want to tempt fate!

Is it only a WP7 hard reset that will resolve this for me now?

:-(

Thanks in advance of your help my man!!
[HD2 General] xandercom:
also, wont a hard reset undo all of the unlocking and such from chevvy?
[HD2 General] changochulo:
Im pretty sure it will undo the unlocking, but it only takes a few minutes to go thru it again once you have everything downloaded.
[HD2 General] xandercom:
Hard reset number 5 it is then!!

It didnt save my settings on the mem card, obviously as it wasnt in there in the first place during the previous hard reset.

Im becoming a master at hard resets and personalisation now!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
that's not gonna help, , the first time it boots its gonna again make a 200meg partition and the rest create a raid.

download a partition program (there are loads, personally i have a ubuntu laptop and use that, you could also make an ubuntu live cd, boot to that and delete teh partition there.

through Ubuntu...

phone into magldr, usb mass storage, connect to Ubuntu, the 200meg filesystem icon will soon appear on the desktop, right click, format, instead of clicking ok click disk utility, select the 200 partition and click unmount then click delete, then select the unknown partition, and click delete.

if you are going back to android now would be a great time to set up an ext partition if you want one.

If you are sticking with wp7, then you can't format it to show more than 200meg, that's all that wp7 allocates to the fat partition, all the rest goes to system storage. Messing with the disk (even removing it whilst wp7 is running, i believe) will trash the data on the card and wp7 will reformat it.

If you are heading back to wm then create a fat32 partition the full size of the card.
[HD2 General] changochulo:
Sam,

Ive already tried this and it worked for me. Im just going off my experience.
[HD2 General] xandercom:
Actually, it has done the trick, however now I am back to having a locked device again and cant deploy apps from my pc. Back to where I was 6 hours ago.

All I want is space to store more than 4 apps before the dang thing runs out of space.

Time to grab a beer me thinks.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
That's the WiMax LED. Sense ROMs don't use it except to indicate WiMax status, while CM6 and 7 use it for notifications and WiMax status, while the left LED is just for charging status.

I've sold many phones. I always supply ESN before the transaction closes so the buyer can verify. I suggest never buying a phone where the seller won't let you check ESN.
[Droid X General] Nickdroid86:
they can still sell it free and clear and report it stolen right after its sold...

yes, and thats what seller ratings are for, although I don't think craigslist has em, I don't trust people enough to buy electronics from craigslist anyway...

bypass the pesky activation screen simply tap the top left corner, top right corner, bottom right corner, and bottom left corner of the screen consecutively and it will bring you to the home screen.
[Droid X General] SharkBaitDave:
From what it seems to me, he is past getting in to the phone, just cant activate it since its blacklisted. He wants it activated to use as a phone rather than a nifty paperweight/mp3 player. And yeah seems you are going to have to take it to another carrier.
[Droid X General] Nickdroid86:
So far have text and web and IM and everything working except phone calls.
[Droid X General] eris_evil:
Hope you read this in time but hear me out listen brick the phone completely and claim it on the one year warranty and whatever place you send it to they will refurbish the phone meaning they have to install a new chipset which intern will change the esn (meaning clean esn) you can do this for free since it has that warranty but make sure it doesn't have water damage. I did this with a bad esn evo, Eris and incredible trust me it works hell research it if you must but it works and its going to take a min for you to get it back but its worth not having a phone limited to BS carriers ie metro and cricket.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambd:
I want to install a Custom firmware such as DeNaVil v2 or Darky's ROM. These look like safe bets have nice UI and I hope will give better performance than my current rom (see below).

Model number: GI-I9000

Firmware V: 2.2

Baseband V: I9000XXJPM

Kernel V: 2.6.32.9 root (at) SE-S608 #1

Build Number: FROYO.XWJP6

I hope some of that is useful as I would like some step by step help or links to threads, but ideally a bullet point check list to ensure I don't brick my phone. I have only upgraded the Firmware once when using Samsung kies.

I have been looking around it seems that I might need ClockworkMod / rooting neither I have touched before.

One thing that worried me is from Darky's ROM Installation Guide:

Requirements

- Either an 2.1 Eclair Firmware

- or Froyo and a kernel with Recovery 2e [by ChainFire] to flash 'update.zip' files.

- ClockWorkMod Recovery [Click to DOWNLOAD]

- Working 3 Button Combo (VOLUME DOWN / VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER)

I think I have the 3 button combo as it boots into a downloading screen when holding down + home + power. Not sure if I am able to boot into a recovery mode when holding up as it doesn't do anything at the moment.

My phone is in your hands ;)

Hello everyone, I have some questions too.

I have Galaxy S I9000, with 3 button method working.

FW

2.2

Base version

I9000XXJPP

Build #

FROYO.XXJPO

Recovery type

3E

I wish to install Darky's ROM 9.2, reading guides i've got confusion.

He says:

But should i get something like CF-Root-JPO-v1.0.zip ?

Or can i use CF-Root-JP6-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1.zip?

So should i downgrade to Recovery mode v. 2E?

Since the guide is to install Darky 8.1 wich is the better way to get 9.2 extreame edition? (by upgrading the 8.1?)

Thanks for your all replay ;)
[Fascinate General] i0nicx:
Question about unbricking the fascinate and odin use. I am coming from a samsung vibrant, i could flash roms, brick and odin all day without issues. Part of what allowed me to do this was a usb jig with 301k ohm resistor in it. It forced the phone into download mode and then you could odin away.

Does the fascinate have this option? I'm going to pickup the phone tomorrow, this would just be icing on the cake if this was available.

thanks guys.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
There are only 2 situations that I've seen that will cause a permanent brick for our phones. One is flashing anything through the "Phone" button in Odin. If you always use the PDA button, you'll never have to worry about that brick situation. The other would be flashing the modem of another phone as I don't think anyone has recovered from this either. Other than that, I think that if you have the battery out, hold down on the volume down button, and plug in the USB cable, it will always enter download mode to help you restore in some fashion.
[Fascinate General] i0nicx:
sounds pretty good, thank you.

the reason i ask is the vibrant would boot onto a screen with a cell phone, warning sign and a computer if you messed up real bad. the only way out was to either have your phone warrantied or use the usb jig i mentioned in the first post. if its a non issue then awesome!
[Fascinate General] iwasaperson:
the jig is compatible with this phone. use it in the same way that you use it with the vibrant. just flash the di01 full package if anything goes wrong.
[Fascinate General] i0nicx:
thanks man. if someone can, could they add this to a faq or wiki? as the jig is extremely useful and can be made for next to nothing and would probably help out some of the noobies.
[Fascinate General] OneAn9ryN00b:
Im a noob when it comes to this type of stuff, but what would be the difference between the 301k resistor, and just putting your phone in download mode with the power/vol button w/regular usb.
[Fascinate General] Dr.Jackal:
I had this happen on my Fascinate while I was updating to DL09 / Reflashing to stock.

I got to download screen by just holding down the volume down button with the battery out and connecting the usb.
[Fascinate General] i0nicx:
some vibrants came from the factory locked so the download mode wasn't accessible via the button method. so the jig would allow download mode access.

When you charge your Phone it charges to 100% then Stops. It is not a drip charger. After it charges to 100% it stops and waits till it gets to 90% then charges back to 100%. You could try Bump Charging but this will happen on every phone Motorola makes. Reguardless of ROM.
