[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
@tekkneak,

Firstly... Your first phone that you bought in August did NOT have JL2 firmware on it as JL2 is a FroYo firmware and did not come out until late December 2010. The firmware you had on your first phone was probably JH2 which is Eclair.

I bought my i9000M in August 2010 (on the 30th of the month as a matter of fact) but mine came with JG9 Eclair and I had to upgrade to JH2.

This being said and since you mistyped the firmware version in your first post, are you sure that your NEW phone diddnt come with JH2 and NOT JL2? If this is the case then Electroz theory would hold true.

It has been said by both Bell and Samsung that the JL2 Froyo firmware has a new .SBL file that fixes the crashing internal SD cards.

This being said... IF your new phone did have JL2 FroYo on it and it crashed and gave you the internal sd card failure then I would say that for your phone it was a LEGIT hardware issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekkneak:
@yiannisthegreek I'm really not sure what came with my phone originally to be honest, back then I didn't think I'm going to have all these problems or I would have paid more attention to what was on the phone prior to me messing with custom ROMs. It DID have eclair, originally.

The new phone have Froyo I9000UGJL2 and I did everything I could to revive and many (listed above) helped with various methods which I have re-attempted with the recently deceased. It is indeed another Hardware failure, but WHY? shouldnt it have been fixed in the new versions??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
I feel where you are coming from for sure. Yes... You would think that these issues should have / would have been fixed by now but... The general concensus regarding failing internal sd cards is that the MAJORITY of the failures were due to a software issue and NOT a hardware issue. That being said, as I mentioned before... Bell and Samsung have stated that the JL2 Firmware with the new .SBL Bootloader File has fixed the "software" issue that was causing our devices to suffer internal SD failure so that is why I am assuming that your new phone may actually have fallen prey to a TRUE "hardware" failure in which case there is no remedy other than to have it replaced or repaired.

For example... Last night I had flashed my phone with a few different files and it "soft bricked" to the point where I was scared that it was my internal sd card too. It would hit the Samsung animation screen, vibrate once, go black screen with the buttons lit up then vibrate with three small bursts. I could go into recovery and download mode no problem and I did NOT see any error message in recovery so what I did is a Factory Reset from recovery and it rebooted just fine.

I lost my contacts and apps but not my phone. Perhaps try a Factory Reset from recovery and see what it does if you have not tried already.

In any case... I wish you luck...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
It's probable that whoever update the phone to UGJL2 just forgot to hit the Phone Bootloader update option in Odin as well. After all, Odin is Samsung software released to their tech's. So, something that simple could have done it.

As one last chance, download UGJH2 and UGJL2 from Samfirmware.com and use Odin 1.7, no pit, no repartition.

Flash UGJH2 first, without bootloader update is fine..

Then, after that is flashed, go ahead and flash UGJL2. Make sure to click Phone Bootloader update.

Give that a try and see if it comes back to life.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] packers17-0:
Hi guys, I'm having the same issue that tekkneak is having, i was able to get mine to reboot with UGJL2 but I had to add the Speedmod-k12j-256hz Kernel. If i dont add the speedmod, the phone will either go into the boot loop or boot past the splash screen and then just give me the black screen with the lit up buttons.

When I boot now I dont seem to have any sort of memory space available, It says 0.0B available and i am unable to format the internal SD card and/or mount an external SD.

I've tried loading UGJH2 and then UGJL2 with bootloader update but like i said before if i dont load the speedmod kernel it will not boot.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samdroid_G_S:
What error are you getting in recovery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] packers17-0:
When i run the report error option in the "advanced ClockWorkMod features" i get this:

"E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0"

I've been reading that some people have been able to mount and or format their internal sd cards by using the adb console but I'm not really too familiar on how to do this. Anyone had any luck fixing this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekkneak:
packers17-0

though that was not the final score, I would like to congratulate on you the win.

If you are getting that error, and you have tried the commands through adb on my first post without luck, then you have either a bad internal memory or a bad controller and will need to seek warranty options.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] packers17-0:
Haha Thanks! the 17-0 was supposed to be the season record but I must not have been thinking cuz there can't be a 17-0 regular season record - or at least not yet...

I think I may be out of luck on this as I do not have a bill of sale for this device. It was actually given to me by my work to test out user experience on our new network and I'm not sure where it was purchased from or how they got it. I also have a feeling that if i send it back to them I will not see it again or it will be traded for a lesser phone.

Any idea if Samsung will service it without a bill of sale? could they just go by the manufacture date maybe?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekkneak:
Yes, they will accept it, I did not have it for my phone, they checked when it was sold on their system and said I still had 7 months of warranty left.

Kongregate was bought by GameStop a while ago and now they are offering their app in the Market which will allow you to play over 300 free flash based games.

While this isn't on par with for-pay games from companies like Polarbit or Gameloft, it's something and it's free.

Here's the article.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/18/kongregate-arcade-hits-android-gamestop-shoving-free-flash-game/

Update: The app has been removed from the Market with Google saying they didn't do it and GameStop saying that Google did do it. Meh, whatever. Here's the direct link below to download it from Kongregate directly.

Kongregate Arcade is back in the Market

This app is available in the Market again after they made some changes to the app. The downloaded games are no longer saved to the sd card so you can play them later without launching the arcade app first. Now the arcade app runs the games in memory.

It's still free and runs great on my VEGAn rom beta 5.1 gTab.

I personally prefer Touchdown. It has a ton of features and doesn't force your phone to lock with a PIN code. Accessing email is still secure and a PIN code is required if the policy is set.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] >Prometheus<:
I cant remember how often i flashes a new Build and allways i reconfigure my sd card with gpartet. But now i'm thinking about if it is realy nessessary to rebuild the partition layout. if i use a build with no ext4 support the whole build is stored into the internal memory. and i dont need to format or wipe any parts of the internal memory. so if the phone uses the ext4 partition as internal memory (userspace) is it realy nessessary to format it manualy? or does a flash clean the userspace?

i'm not realy sure because last few days i flashed a new version of a desire hd build and after flashing it was not needet to renew any config. it startet and everything was still there. so i'm not sure if i'm right.

do you think to we could make to think to us phone is one htc

i dont have idea how to do it
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domineus:
would your method also work for homebrew apps that are not htc? like touchxplorer and advanced config (registry editor) for other devices?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skycamefalling:
Thank you, the unit converter is a nice app.

But what I'd really need is the HTC flashlight app. Any chance to make this possible in future?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hounsell:
Not really - the device uses the HTC Drivers to turn on the flash LED. However, davux has a perfectly-working cross-device flashlight app that turns on the LED using the extended media API, available from here.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skycamefalling:
Thank you for the clarification :)

I've already installed the app you've mentioned. It's working fine but still has the problem that the app is being "revoked" when the phone locks itself (when connected to Zune).

It just would have been nice to have a flashlight app that is still working when the phone relocks -I merely used the unlock to deploy my ringtones.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VoodooKing:
The sideloaded HTC app will still be revoked.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heathcliff74:
You need to prevent that your device locks itself. There are tools you can use, like this one.

By the way, if you're looking for other HTC apps for your Samsung, then you can try the HTC Hub and HTC Notes.

Hello,

quick question, does rooting void warranty?

and if so, if i unroot and flash the stock rom back... does it still void warranty??

thanks in advance!
[Nexus One General] cymru:
No, it doesn't.

Only if you unlock your bootloader do you void your warranty. To root without voiding your warranty use --> http://maketecheasier.com/root-android-phone-without-voiding-warranty/2010/08/13
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Nope. Neither does searching. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6043779#post6043779
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Technically it does, but if the bootloader is locked, you can unroot leaving absolutely no trace.

HTC don't seem to care about them being unlocked anyway.
[Nexus One General] OzCDN:
This is the important part ... HTC doesn't care. I've sent my phone in twice while rooted and both times it has come back factory reset with the boot loader re-locked.
[Nexus One General] GarJones27:
What an epic post. Thanks for that Paul.

On a somewhat side note there is an article in the Portal that I feel every new user should read... it's about posting, searching, etc. http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/important-xda-announcement-regarding-new-users/ :rolleyes:

So, I bought it about 2 weeks but since I went on a vacation I didn't bothered to mess around much with it, but now that I'm back my friend directed me to this forum and I'm pretty excited with all the possibilities. the problem is that's a bit overwhelming, I don't know where to start, I started reading, and following the instructions, on this topic but came to a stop after the 3rd step since I have no idea what ROM the stock version uses:

I'm just gonna dump some of the info that I found out on the settings page of the phone, hopefully that will help:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] >Prometheus<:
everyday there are new threads with new builds or updates and every build is a bit different from another. i just looked for a gingerbread build to try but i could not read as fast as the threads change. i think a thread with an overview over every build splittet into sense and non sense builds and with its stock features and spezials could be so usefull for many people. my english is to bad to start such a thread by myself and i think its a better way if some mods start and build it because its maybe to much work for only one person to catch all updates and new builds everyday.

hope someone could do it because after about one hour i'm still not sure if i saw every thread with gingerbread builds and now they are all shaked around and i dont know where it starts and where it ends :eek::confused:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el_smurfo:
Considering the same swap. Need to get the wife a phone, so I'm passing on my G2 and getting a MT4G. It's a hard decision, as the G2 is now free with contract on the t-mobile site, but I'm not a keyboard fan and would rather have the slimmer phone with more RAM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DADDYDC650:
I would do it as long as you know for a fact that the MT4G works great and has the superior screen.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdviper:
You can put on Cyanogens 6.1 on there, it's a RC but CM7 is coming along nice.

Other than that, there is a stock G2 rom for this too, it should be somewhere on the forums.

And I'm coming from a G2 myself so yeah, I really enjoy this phone. Took a couple days to get used to not having a keyboard but it's good from there on.

Oh and the battery life sucks compared to the G2, I remember I would get about 2 days with Cynaogens 6.1 rom, and even with the cyanogens rom on this, I get about 8-10hours with moderate to heavy usage...

I didnt use the keyboard when I had a G2.

Keyboard on the G2 was nice, that and the fact that it's a G2, but the MT4G is a beast. NS was meh. Pretty to look at, and that's about it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
The MT4G is a superhero when it comes to hardware, and CM6 and CM7 are both stable enough to be daily drivers. I almost never use the FFC, but I know I wouldn't ever use the physical keyboard and I really like having the extra RAM. The physical buttons are a nice touch too.

Overall I'm in love with this thing, just make sure you read up on the good display vs. bad display issue. It's easy to test through Terminal with the DMESG command, root NOT required.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cthulion:
MT4G = very fast and powerful phone IF you get lucky, otherwise you will be plagued with the ****tiest quality control to date which can easily get you through 3-5 warranty exchanges.

You will also need a custom ROM to make it very fast and powerful, out of the box it has pissed poor battery life and gets real laggy.

Most custom ROMs have problems with FFC

G2 = Very fast and powerful and great battery life out of the box. The keyboard config make it kinda big and I go worst reception than with the MT4G by a tinny bit.

I didn't miss the extra RAM when I was using the G2, there's really no need for all that in Android.

I miss the keyboard, but not the bulk.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
The part about plain Android not needing extra ram is true. On CM7 I usually about 400mb of free ram.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syaoran68:
i have to agree fully.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el_smurfo:
Did the swap Wed. Wife is happy with the G2 as it just sits in a pouch in her purse. I'm actually faster typing on the Gingerbread soft keyboard, the phone is much thinner in the pocket and CM7 is running nearly perfectly (as long as you use Tango or Yahoo vs Qik for FFC video conferencing).

If I was sticking with stock, I would seriously consider sticking with the G2 though, as the MT4G ships with so much OEM crapware and Sense bloat, it's hard to even find your apps in the drawer (which looks like a lame iPhone rip because of the Sense ROM).
