I'm currently running the MAGPIE version of CM6.1 by Firerat/Cyanogen. I think it's great. VERY stable. Everything works as it should. I did however take out the 3d gallery and put the 2d gallery back in, as it responds MUCH faster. I am a ROM changing whore, and as far as FroYo is concerned, CM is the way to go.

My all time favorite though has been TMUS, but it does not have aps2ext.

I cannot get my epic to mount for ANYTHING! I factory wiped the phone, nope, I used a palm pre usb cable nope, I downloaded the official samsung drivers nope, I plugged the cable into the motherboard on the computer nope, I tried a different computer running windows 7, nope tried a laptop using windows vista, nope. Does anyone know ANY WAY POSSIBLE to get this thing to mount? I selected mass storage and dissabled and enabled usb debugging. Im just not having any luck. It seems that the computer recognizes the phone is connected just cant get to the files on the SD card.
[Epic 4G General] glen_e:
I also spent many hours trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with my Epic, that is, why it would come up as a "malfunction" in Windows when I plugged the USB cable in.

I tried drivers, different restore points, wiping, etc. etc. etc.

To the point... Try a new USB cable. The one packaged with the Epic is junk. As a matter of fact, it worked several times before it crapped out. I have no idea why, but I picked up a new micro USB cable, plugged it in, and the phone was then immediately recognized by my computer to allow mass storage mount.

People who tried the Palm Pre USB cable also had issues for some reason.

IMO, there should be a sticky posted in this board regarding the packaged USB cable, as I encounter this issue quite a bit.
[Epic 4G General] ownagemaximus:
Ok I'll try to find a new one really quick thanks
[Epic 4G General] ownagemaximus:
ugh tried an HTC Mytouch 4g usb cable and that didnt work either. Gonna try a class 4 usb stick and im gonna try puttting all of the files on the computer from the SD card

Edit: Oh wow i cant put the files on the computer duh :)

Edit: Ok now I'm mad a Class 4 SD card wont connect to the computer thru the epic ughhhh
[Epic 4G General] glen_e:
I'm guessing during this time, you've rebooted the computer a few times? Sometimes, that's all it takes...

Try uninstalling ALL of the USB drivers associated with the Epic, rebooting the computer, then connecting (with debug mode OFF). Windows found and installed the USB drivers for me in just a few seconds when I did this [with the new cable, the first time].

[Epic 4G General] decalex:
Have u enabled development mode under settings > applications (in your) epic? If not, try that, then plug in cable.

Then pull down the notification bar and it'll give you back the option.. again, if you haven't tried this.
[Epic 4G General] soundman1024:
On occasion I have troubles with the Epic mounting/ejecting on a Mac, but the only time I've ever had an issue with it mounting on a PC a different cable solved the problem immediately.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
Try a different USB port on your PC. If that doesn't work, try rebooting the PC and the phone.

I had luck with trying different usb ports though
[Epic 4G General] beejmeister:
I had this problem as well and:

1. Tried 4 different cables

2. Tried all 4 on all 4 different USB ports

3. Rebooted numerous times

4. Uninstalled/reinstalled drivers

5. Tried 3 different PCs (1 other running 7 and another running Vista)

6. Did 1-4 on all three computers.

OH! and the reason I was so adamant about finding a solution was that I was stuck in Clockwork... due to having messed up an EXT4/RFS/CW2.5/CW3.0 installation... It was MY fault... I screwed up.

The problem was I had been living with the nonmounting problem by simply putting my MicroSD into an adapter and plugging it into my Laptop for file transfers... never expecting to HAVE to ODIN at some time...

Anyway... I ended up coughing up the $100 to Insurance and replacing the phone.

HERE IS MY THEORY: I think what my problem was was that the USB port on the Phone was messed up. I think these USB ports are possibly a hardware fail point and the changing of cables has been a patch on the issue with the port... NOT the cables themselves!

I'm not suggesting that you are there yet since it sounds like you can at least still get the phone to boot up (and aren't stuck in CW) and could still use a work around of putting files on the MicroSD with an adapter...

But I would suggest you don't be as stupid as me and get yourself in a position where ODIN is your only hope.
[Epic 4G General] OregonLAN:
Yeah, it sounded like a bad USB port to me. Also, FYIY, if you ever have to replace the phone through insurance, tell them that the phone was lost. Either way, it will cost you $100.00 to get a replacement and when it's reported as lost, they will also send you a new battery...
[Epic 4G General] beejmeister:
You don't really think that I sent in a phone that was stuck in CW do you? I don't think that would have worked too well for me.....

Cheers!
[Epic 4G General] soundman1024:
Did you end up doing an ODIN restore
[Nexus One General] pooky2010:
Hi, my phone now is working and all ( the is it bricked post) Thanks guys

Here is the new problem...I would like to go to 2.2.1 ( the passimg.zip is 2.2) is there a way to update without unlocking bootloader.

I tried Androot and superoneclick....Androot gives me the Fugu message and SuperOneClick says its Rooted...but when I go to rom manager or other apps that need superuser...

I get this message : An error occured while attemting to run privileged commands!

So basically Root isn't working.

Also, when trying to install Cyan cm6...Rom manager reboots...but I get the Triangle with the exclamation point with the green man next to it...

Is it still possible to have my cake and eat it? ( locked phone, with root access so I can install modded roms)

Again...can someone help me with this

Thanks!
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
You didn't have to make a duplicate post. I already answered one of your questions in the other thread.
[Nexus One General] mikeacela:
Dont make another post next time...

I rooted FRG83D with superoneclick root, But if its not working for ya you will have to unlock the bootloader via fastboot. Then push a custom recovery. With the recovery you can install the su binaries.

[Nexus One General] pooky2010:
Ok i'll only answer here now for this question:

I don't want to loose my warranty. Hence the softroot way.

I thought of something dunno if its possible:

is there a stock FRG83 image like the FRG33 I just installed....maybe 2.2.1 will be compatible with androot or superoneclick

Thanks
[Nexus One General] SoberGuy:
You need to do a few things before you go any further. There are key steps you are leaving out that are just a recipe for disaster. I'll detail them below, in the specific order you should follow them. There shall be no deviation from this list.

1 - Put your phone down. Seriously, stop messing with it. Just quit.

2 - Read the Wiki that you've been linked to, in both threads, several times.

2a - Now that you've read the Wiki, really read the Wiki. Yeah, you skimmed it the first time, I know you did.

2b - Now go read it again. I'm sure you'll notice something new this time.

2c - Now go read the links in the Wiki. Explore those threads.

2d - Those threads that the Wiki links to? They have links in them. Go read those.

3 - Rinse and repeat all steps from 2a to 2d for, oh, about 4 days. During this time you are allowed:

To post general chit chat on the forum. No technical stuff, no help threads, no questions. Just read. If you have questions, you need to read some more.

No more than 3 app installs per day, from the market. Thou shalt not download and install any APKs from any source that is not the Android Market.

To tweak settings on your phone, provided those settings are all done via the touchscreen on your phone. You shall forget the acronym "ADB".

Once you've done that, you'll root your phone in no time, and you won't be worried that you've bricked it. Then, and only then, can you start asking questions.

Why? Because all of your questions right now are answered. You're jumping the gun, and it's obvious you haven't done much research at all. Seriously, go read.

I hate to be mean, but if you want to understand stuff, you need to try and understand it on your own first. You're here looking for solutions (that are already spelled out) to problems that you created (because you didn't read anything). Quit looking for the easy way out. If you want to enjoy your phone and the features of what you're trying to accomplish...put some work in yourself, and stop expecting everyone else to fix everything and spell it out. People here are more than happy to help, but you gotta start helping yourself.
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
@Soberguy: Thumbs up to you. Couldn't have said it any better.
[Nexus One General] SoberGuy:
Thanks, mate. Didn't mean to quote the guy above me, just noticed I did that. Fixed it.

I'm amazed at the patience some folks have. Maybe it was my rough 3 day weekend that's left me a bit short... Appreciate the thanks, all the same.
[Nexus One General] pooky2010:
Ok, I do go a bit fast.

I'll read...it just that I tried the cm7 mod ( i know its experimental) and the phone

would'nt boot.

With the help of the great people on the board, I got my phone working again but on FRG33 (2.2)

My last question was if it was possible ( or someone knows of because Ive checked the net) to root without unlocking ( androot and superoneclick that i know of) if I have FRG33 ( Because Ive been getting permission errors)

Finally, I wanted to know if a FRG83 stock image was available so that I could recover to it without unlocking bootloader. (or any other stock that lets me root without unlock)

I'll unlock the phone as a last option...I'm sorry...And if anyone is pissed at my posts ...well sorry I just taught some of you experts could help.
[Nexus One General] SoberGuy:
See? Looking for the easy way out again.

It's not about anyone being pissed or short on patience. Look at how frustrated you are with the situation. You're frustrated. Why? Cause you did it wrong. Why? Cause you didn't read enough first. Even after several suggestions, you still want it done, with help, right now, or you'll sulk about someone pissed and how no one held your hand through it.

Is it possible to do what you want? Absolutely! Pretty easy, too. But if you read and help yourself, you'll better understand how to update in the future, as well as how to root the future update. Or, you'll learn how to root what you have, and flash a pre-rooted stock ROM (yes, those are here as well).

So call me an ass, cool. You did in your mind, that's fine. But really, I'm trying to let you know what will help you the most, and that's having a better understanding of how to prevent a boot loop in the future, or at least how to fix it if it happens. Best of luck, man.

Here's the deal.

I did a one click root without unlocking the bootloader. Then I installed rom manager and flashed clockwork recovery. Then I did a backup ( both done in rom manager) then I went back into rom manager and installed cyanogenmod 7 and my nexus is now haxored gingerbread. Make sure you do a full wipe before flashing new roms and it'll always work.

I didn't update my radio, my hboot or anything like that. And it all just works and is dead simple. I would suggest trying z4root or universal androot and then downloading rom manager from the market.

How you managed to **** up something so simple is pretty funny dude.

I'm using an at&t band n1 with an smiled. Not the one with super LCD. I heard a rumor that the super LCD n1s have problems with certain mods. You might want to figure out what type of screen you have too.

The cyanogenmod wiki at cyanogenmod.com might help you too.
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
OP, you have to learn the hard way. Stop using "newbie" as an excuse.

I was also a "newbie" when I first got my Nexus One in February. Everything about android was new and alien to me. It actually took me a couple of months of lurking in xda and reading up on tutorials before I took the plunge to rooting my phone. And I did not bother anyone on that. I made sure I understood the steps and triple checked every move I made in following instructions even though I did not understand them.

I also was worried about warranty and actually did the manual way of rooting my phone without unlocking the bootloader using some method that involved cutting a piece of plastic from my battery. That was nerve wrecking and no where as simple as the superoneclick thingy you have now. Yet I survived and I did it on my own.

I must admit that you have to be a little bit confident in using computers and have some basic knowledge of typing commands in cmd. But everyone has to start from somewhere.

Seriously if it's too much trouble or too complicated, maybe staying stock or going Iphone is a more comfortable alternative.
[Nexus One General] pooky2010:
I'm actually pretty good with computers...

Also, I have bricked 4 phones (the provider took them back) fooling around...

I could brought this one back ( they didnt check). But I want to learn...I'm pretty impulsif...Anyway so far

With FRG33 z4root works (read thanks)

Now I trying to flash clockwork...( when I download cyan 6 +google apps) it reboots but I get the triangle thingy...I click power volume up ( read that thanks) I get a blue menu...I kinda scared to click an option so I rebooted...I'm trying to use rom manager for updates because its really simple ...anyway

Thats it for tonight All of you guys are nice dudes and I'll learn and will try to help im my own way...I know I'm a newbie that likes short cuts (hell I read all day at my day job...lol) This is fun ( playing with male toys)

Thanks guys!

Hello,

someone who tried this solution:

Haicom HI-505SD standard Bluetooth GPS receiver with standard miniSD to SD adaptor

Pros:

-standard Bluetooth connection

-power directly over the SD Card slot
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] kaivish:
to use navigation on the folio, u will need it to be constantly powered in the vehicle. there are many bluetooth gps receivers, and some of them are reported to work nicely with android 2.2 with the help of some 3rd party apps. but didi anyone find a way to power the folio in the car?
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] bastospn:
Officially there is no connector that you can use, but you can use a 3th party adaptor to get a 220/110 volt out of the cigarette lighter outlet.

You can also get a external backup battery.

[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] kaivish:
Ok, i found a solution to using gps on the folio via bluetooth. There is an app called gpsredirect for winmo5 n up. Install bluetooth gps on android. U will need a pda running win mo 5 or above with integrated gps chipset. I han an old eten g500+ i was not using. I will make as my bluetooth gps receiver for the folio. Gps redirect works only on some devices, check the tested n supported list!

Just need to find a working navigation app for the folio now. Got a car charger for the eten g500+, just need to solve the charging for folio n the navigation app n we r good to go.
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] kaivish:
ok. i got co-pilot live on the folio and it works nicely. runninf on full screen. the graphics are not astonishing since its extrapolated and not made for 1024x600 screens but it looks fine to me.

I havent gotten time to try it with the apps i mentioned and the eten g500+, but will do so as soon as possible. now just needs to figure out a way to charge the folio in the car :)

at the end, it just for the sake of doing this and seeing a nav app running properly on the folio, but practically it is useless. the screen is too big to be legally placed on the dashboard of the car or the windshield for that matter.

secondly due to the screen size and brightness, it is not advised to drive at night with that kind of brightness flashing in the eyes.

Main problem with your Captivate is that you cannot connect to your PC???

Did you tried using different computer, or using different version of Windows/Mac?

<Sorry, if I'm not really helping you...>
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yentlequible:
Back when I was really trying to figure the problem out (about 2 months ago), I was trying everything mentioned. I tried different versions of odin, 3 separate computers, windows xp/vista/7, front and back usb ports, multiple drivers, etc... The weird thing is that the phone is recognized in odin when it is on, which is how I was able to do a master clear on it. It is just when it is in download mode that it does not recognize it.

I eventually just gave up thinking that it was just a problem my phone has. The only thing I have not been able to test is using a different cable. I have been using the original OEM one, but I guess it could be the problem.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] blue163:
After getting my i9000m replaced by Bell due to SD card failure I have noticed a couple of interesting things about the new phone:

1) The GPS is fixed. I used to wait 20+ minutes and still have no lock before, now if I am not moving I generally get locks of under 10m in 7-30 seconds. Very acceptable

2) The glass is different. The glass on this phone almost feels sticky and is nearly impossible to put any fingerprints on. My old phone would get dirty very often and I had to clean it many times each day. This is a big improvement.

3) FM Radio reception is MASSIVELY better. I use my phone inside a tall building downtown and my old phone would be fuzzy and almost impossible to listen to. This one is perfect, never fuzzes out.

4) Cell reception is MUCH WORSE. At my house I used to get usable signal in a couple of rooms, now whenever I am at home I just get the red exclamation mark and I have no service.

My old phone had a build date of 10.07 and my new one has a build date of 10.11. The new phone has the black piece with the letter "M" on it (Antenna wire?) and the old one did not have this.

Anybody else notice interesting things like this with the newer/older phones?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sci05:
I got the same phone 10.11 and noticed the exact same things.

1) same

2) same, but might be the residue from the sticker on the screen

3) 10x better now

4) reception is the same as it was before
[Galaxy S I9000 General] evil-doer:
my 10.12 phone has a WORSE gps. i did the hardware mod where you bend the contact up a little bit and it didnt really do anything to fix it either. ive tried resetting the data and doing cold starts and everything else people have suggested and nothing. the accuracy is very often way off.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blue163:
After a few days with the phone I have noticed something interesting. The GPS seems to be working properly, then completely broken on a rather predictable fixed interval. If I repeatedly run GPS test to find my position it tends to work properly for 30-40 seconds then be completely broken for 30-40 seconds, then repeat. I observe the same behavior with all GPS apps, it isn't just GPS test but I find it is the easiest program to get this data from.

Still, this is far better than it was before but I wonder why it is doing this?
