with a little help to a friend

Hi guys!

I am Brazilian, and i bought the sgs I90000BVJJPD with Froyo 2.2 (kernel version 2.6.32.9 latin umts).

I'm reading this topic about 2 months, and saw that there already ways to unlock, Unbrand and rooting, but also saw that I might lose features like bluetooth, tv receiver, WiFi and others.

I want to unlock my phone and root for two reasons:

1st-To fix the problem of lag when in use the cell phone and GPS accuracy which is required to be as "user root " (this was the way in which I found here at XDA, if any one please tell me) .

2nd-Do not want to hold my phone to my carrier, and it will facilitate much time to sell my mobile in the future. =)

So I would ask:

What is the risk of rooting?

What is the risk of unlocking?

Is there a tutorial for rooting which is the most reliable / safe?

Is there a tutorial to unlock which is the most reliable / safe?

If possible have the @fbfortes and other brazilian users give a little help for a friend...... \ o /

Thanks everyone!

E ai galera !

sou brasileiro , e comprei o sgs I90000BVJJPD com o Froyo 2.2 (versão de kernel 2.6.32.9 latin umts).

Já estou lendo este topic a uns 2 mêses , e vi que já existe formas de desbloquear e Rootear , mas vi também que posso perder funcionalidades como bluetooth , receptor de tv , wifi entre outros.

Quero desbloquear e rootear meu celular por dois motivos:

1º-Para reparar o problema de lag durante a a utilização do celular e da precisão do GPS é necessário estar como "user root" (esta foi a forma da qual eu encontrei aqui no XDA, caso houver outra por favor me informem).

2º-Não quero prender meu celular a minha operadora , isso vai facilitar e muito na hora de vender meu celular futuramente. =)

Por isso queria perguntar:

Qual o risco de rootear ?

Qual o risco de desbloquear ?

Há algum tutorial para rootear do qual seja o mais confiável / seguro ?

Há algum tutorial para desbloquear do qual seja o mais confiável / seguro ?

Se possível o @fbfortes e outros usuários brazileiros darem um aajudinha para um amigo...\o/

Obrigado galera !!

how to solve this "simple" problem?

response from @fbfortes

Hello friend, I had the same problem as you. After much searching, I discovered that the problem was with the file pit. I decided to flash a 2.1 rom nationwide, with 512 pit, with the option to reformat clicked. then installed the 2.2.1 Argentina, with the pit 803, without the option to reformat.

Já instalou a 2.2.1 ARO?

O meu era com ROM cheia de crapware da Claro... Depois que instalei esta ROM o Galaxy S está 10x melhor.

- Mais rápido, não percebo lag.

- Menor consumo de bateria... Acho que é pelo fato de não rodar o lixo da Claro em "background" no sistema.

- GPS sem problemas, em segundos capta o sinal.

- Gmail e Gtalk funcionando perfeitamente.

- TV sem problemas.

Obs.: Usei primeiro pit 512 por alguns dias, depois reinstalei com pit 803.

Diferença que notei: pit 512 inicia o cel no mesmo tempo que 803, mas os widgets demoram alguns segundos a mais na 803 para carregarem na inicialização... Mas recomendo o 803 mesmo assim. Depois que os widgets carregam, o cel em geral é muito mais rápido e consome menos bateria. Sinceramente... Estes segundos de diferença são "quase" imperceptíveis. Pit 803 certo!

Let me make it simple.

I am from Brazil. I have a Galaxy S I9000 running stock Gingerbread.

I am a TIM user.

How it was:

I could access GPRS signal everywhere in my town.

Information under Settings --> About --> Network = TIM 3G+ 16 (area code) and GPRS

What happened:

I travelled to Amazon Florest. Extremely poor signal and no data connection whatsoever.

And then I got back to my town.

How it is now:

I can only access EDGE signal. Extremely poor data connection. And people saying that they could´t reach me on the phone.

Information under Settings --> About --> Network = TIM 3G+ 19 (not my area code) and EDGE

What I did to try fix it:

Reinstalled the firmware with re-partition ticked.

How is it now:

80% of the time I get EDGE signal.

People can talk to me now on the phone.

Information under Settings --> About --> Network TIM BRASIL (no area code) and EDGE (80% of the time) or GPRS (20% of the time)

What the hell is happening????

I want my phone working as it was before. 100% of the time with 3G connection.

What can I do?

Obs: My phone is set to use Only WCDMA.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] marcosrg3003:
Ok!

I helped myself. And I am no expert.

The problem was that when I traveled to Amazon Florest, my cell kept searching for the best reception. And somehow it automatcally activated all frequencies for WCDMA ranging from 850 to 2100.

And here in my town, TIM only uses 2100 for 3G.

Now I am back to where I was!!!

Thanks for me!

¿porque tanta obligacion de escribir en inglés si no nos toman en cuenta para nada?, lamentablemente a los latinoamericanos no nos concideran. Creo que es una santa tontera estar aca hablando un idioma que no es el nuestro y mendigando algun tipo de ayuda que nunca llega. Si el I9000B es solo para Latinoamerica y aca hablamos exclusivamente español ecepto Brasil .. no entiendo el porque estar aca en un lugar donde no tenemos cabida ...al menos no como esperamos.

HAgo este comentario por que los unicos post que veo son de nosotros mismo y me parece absurdo comentar entre nosotros en ingles sobre todo "insisto" sobre todo cuando no nos concideran para nada.

Hey Buddies,

I flashed my phone with this firmware:

I9000BVJJPG CSC:JP4| Froyo 2.2.1 | Feb, 2011| Eng, Spa, Pt | Unbranded ARO Recomended (PDA: I9000BVJJPG PHONE: I9000BVJJPG CSC: I9000BAROJP4)

(This is the best option, it offers TV, GPS fix pretty faster, es-eng-pt, unbranded, and the latest version of the applications)

from first page...

Is this the last one for GT-i9000B???

I will reflash using pit 803 as someone said to do some pages behind.

What about a kernel change??? .. is it something that i should do??

What are the advantages? Thanksss

For the battery icon, I think you must modificate the rom. About the firmware version, it's the last one that we know =)

I purchased a I9000T from amazon.com. It is sold by amazon (not a 3rd party amazon store) and said to HAVE warranty (amazon is not known to mislead customers)

I cannot register this phone at Samsung.com/US (I9000T not available from the drop down menu). I cannot register this phone at Samsung.com/BR (same reason). I CAN register it in Samsung.com/Latin or Samsung.com/Mexico, but I do want to deal with spanish speaking websites and phone support.

Therefore I have 2 questions:

A) Which Samsung site have people in similar situations registered their phones?

B) Does anyone know if I can have the phone sent to a warranty service center in the US or BR? If not, where could I have it sent to?

Thanks in advance.

mira que no solamente los latinos y brasileño compran esta versión i9000B del teléfono, hay otros países que les sirve también y no todos entiende Español o Portugués, encima de eso este foro es de USA y los Administradores dictan que así son las reglas y así tiene que ser.

Si no le gusta eso hay bastantes otros foros latinos que puede usar, pero bien sabes que los otros foros no tienen tantos informaciones ni ayuda como XDA; ademas es bien facilito de hacer copi y pastear en Google Translate, que eso no cuesta nada, así que no hay excusa de no seguir las reglas de este foro.

CWM Recovery / Lag Fix in i9000b?

Hey guys!

I'm from Brazil, and got this froyo i9000b.

Just did the rooting and now I'm insecure about two things:

- I can't install ClockworkMod Recovery, because my phone is already froyo, and don't have 2e stock recovery (the recovery that reads unsigned .zip). Looking here at xda I found this topic with this kernel that has 2e recovery. But this kernel was made for the international version of i9000. I'm afraid that it could spoil my i9000b (for example, digital TV stops working or so). Anybody with i9000b did this kernel change?

- I'm afraid of installing ext2 tools (lagfix), again due to my local build. I don't know if ext2 conversion will mess with my TV or other stuff. Did anyone here install it? The phone functions normally afterwards?

Thanks in advance, hope you guys help me!

Sorry about my english :)

Can we flash roms for the i9000 on our i900b? Apart from the digital tv, would there other non-functional stuff?

I'm kind worried about the bootloaders, though...does the PBL and SBL from an i9000 would work on a i9000b?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Frannyman:
I guess there won't be any "Al fondo hay sitio" or "Caídos del catre" for you then... at least you got quite a sleek looking uncompatible interface... hehehe... Samsung will end up skipping the Gingerbread release altogether anyway. The good thing is they've already anounced they'll be releasing Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 2.4) next month. I'll wait until then... Custom mods for our phones should start to look better than the crippled ones available right now...

And Google Maps is not much of a big deal anyway. Yesterday it attempted to get me through a wall... I'll start messing around with the available GPS programs and let you know if there's anything worthwhile...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Frannyman:
No, you'll get your phone bricked. Most custom mods for i9000b don't get the TV working right... the only reason I would go for one is to try Gingerbread. Froyo 2.2.1 works really nice with the modded Kernel in the first post...

Hey people, okay? I am new to i9000b and wanted to DUMP the ROM that came on my phone operator VIVO.

Can someone pass me a tutorial? or explain here.

The idea is to generate a file that I can use later on ODIN.

Ps. I've tried it from a rom manager when you boot back up and asks to enter the menu option that has no backup or anything.

ei pessoal, tudo certo? sou novato no i9000b e queria fazer um DUMP da rom que veio no meu aparelho da operadora VIVO.

Alguem pode me passar um tutorial? ou explicar por aqui.

it seems like the search function will never appear with only 1 press. i have to press it several times to get the search function to come up.

[Nook Color General] bugeyed1:
I think I have the same issue. I think it is the touch screen sensitivity in that area. People have mentioned various "dead" or "numb" areas like the right or left edge when using crossword puzzle. I don't often use any buttons that are that close to the edge, so it may just be the unit. Some have had success with recalibrating the touch screen. You may search for touchscreen sensitivity.

Cheers,

You can also tap the nook menu button at the bottom (looks like a circle with 3 horizontal lines in it) and then a tab for search comes up (on the left bottom). I have been using this because I've been having the same problem getting the little magnifying glass search icon to register my tap.

[Nook Color General] scottfish:
I have experienced the exact same issue. So far I haven't noticed which part of the search button would be the most sensitive though.
[Nook Color General] peiziyu:
If you run a search on the forum, you will see that this problem has come up many times. The Nook is designed so that touch sensitivity for tapping the edges is not very responsive.

You can check the nookdevs wiki for information on how to recalibrate the screen.
[Nook Color General] JackOnan:
I've found that tapping slightly to the left of the button yields better results, but its still hit or miss.
[Nook Color General] runhopskipjump:
Just hit the menu button and select search. Problem solved. Raising you LCD density also helps if you must touch the search button.

[Nook Color General] dalingrin:
There is a screen issue. The digitizer is not accurate on the screen edges. Use a drawing program to prove it to yourself. That said, I have not tried recalibrating yet.
