[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illeont:
Is there any greek(greek translated) rom for i897 captivate? My device is semi bricked. What should i do? It is in download mode and I try to reflash its stock rom (i897ucjf6) but when i hit start or master clear in odin it does not responding, it stucks on file analysis. I have no phone for a few days now. Please help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaoticvisual:
First off, Wrong section. Second. i dont know what a greek rom is. Third. what windows are you using?

Any Windows xp,vista, 7: try a different usb port

vista or 7: run odin as admin. if nothing happens again, use a different usb port.

if all else fail, you can try a different computer. but im not sure if that will help.

also, if you have tried all the usb ports on your computer. try restarting the comp and see if it works then.

hope this helps
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
There are no Greek Tom's for the captivate. Most are set To WWE. As for your issues please answer the above questions. I will move this once i get to a PC.

Make sure things things are done.

1. Drivers installed

2.Phone was put into DL mode by Odin

3.Drivers installed (Yes It is that big Of an issue)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illeont:
I'm running win xp and i 've tried all usb ports i have. It always stucks on file analysis. Thanks for helping.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaoticvisual:
ah ok, Well i had this issue in the past. and what help me was using a different computer. but at that time i had an windows 7 comp, so i used my sisters xp comp it worked right away. so at this point, i would iether try restarting your comp. or using another comp...

i have an idea but im not sure if its posible. there is another oden somewhere on here i believe its I897UCJI6 one click. i believe at the time it was the unofficial 2.2 release by designgears. try running that, and if it works, try using the I897UCJF6 to go back to bone stock...

Are you opening odin b4 connecting the device to the comp. make sure oden is open, and that the phone is in dl mode. then connect the device to the comp.

and like zelendel said, are the drivers installed?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illeont:
I open odin, then connect the device and hit start. The device is already in download mode and all drivers are installed. It still stucks on file analysis. Only one time passed it but stuck again on set pit file. I'll try another computer and let you know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Project1.exe:
Hi fellas,

I was wondering if enabling all WCDMA bands 850, 900, 1900, and 2100 of our i9000 phones would produce any bad effects or would deteriorate our phones or its parts?

I tried to enabled them in *#2263# and they seem to be persistent so i believe they are active. It was initially set as 900/1900/2100.

Looking forward for replies
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orenzah:
if you bought i9000T it's supposed to work with 850 what the others can't, that's from what I know..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Project1.exe:
I'm just not sure if it is really functioning or how to verify if the phone is really using the 850 or 900 wcdma band, or both (together with 2100 and 1900). AFAIK, wcdma's requirement is that at least 2100 is enabled, paired with another supporting band either 1900, 900, or 850. (tho just 2100 solo will also work but not as best if without another band to use)

I'm also wondering, if the original i9000 can support quad GSM and quad WCDMA, why is it that it is only set as tri-WCDMA only?

I guess my only concern is that if the phone's antenna system will be damaged if i enable quad band WCDMA (if it is really using it)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howipig:
Folks,

If you have checked with the Service manual and Schematics, some variants of Samsung Galaxy S lack the required PAM for the UMTS Band VIII (900) operation physically, while some lack the required PAM for the UMTS Band V (850) operation. Sure, we can flash it with the corresponding modem.bin, toggle "WCDMA 900 (FDD VIII)" and/or "WCDMA 850 (FDD V)" with our targeted Galaxy S variants in the Band Selection menu but it does not mean they will actually work in the "Quad-band WCDMA" as we would like.

Try to hook one up with a set of signal isolation box, signal generator and analyzer (R&S, Agilent, etc.), then you will find out our Galaxy S is capable of "Quad-band WCDMA" or not for sure. DO NOT get confused with the "Quad-band GSM"... "If it can do quad-band in 2G, then why not in 3G?" BECAUSE the it is handled by another set of PAM and FEM.

Nevertheless, most of us are doing fine in the EURO/RoW regions where most 3G networks are deployed in the UMTS Band I (2100). Unless we are heading to the rural or specific areas where only has got the 3G service in the UMTS Band VIII (900) only (AND we apparently must use the 3G service at the same time).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Project1.exe:
thanks howipig, very nice answer
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howipig:
Project1.exe,

No problem but I wish someone out there can make our dream come true by adding the right PAM and SAW filters for the "extra" 3G band support :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Project1.exe:
i'm thinking if it would be possible to extract files from, say, a Rogers (Canada) SGS for the 850, and combine them with euro for 900. I'm actually using XWJV1 (leaked gingerbread) and I got excited cause I see both options.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howipig:
Project1.exe,

Like I have mentioned before, the software is just part of the puzzle. We can toggle all 3G bands showing in the Band Selection menu. In fact, I have played with a modified Galaxy Tab that even has UMTS Band IV (AWS) selected too! But in reality, it never works on the AWS band. The PHYSICAL hardware is the key. Without the right components, we are not going to make it happen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Project1.exe:
heh sorry, missed that one.

Thanks again howipig
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamLange:
Hi,

Im kinda new in wildfire stuff and i didnt find a simple answer for my question using search so.

When i use xtc clip to s-off my wildfire, does this allow me directly to install any ROM i want, or should i use any other tricks/tools to do so?

Thanks
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sgt-Hartley:
I've done a little research on this. And theoretically you should be able to flash the old 0.80 hboot as when s-off is achevied with xtc clip or jtag etc there are no signature checks performed which would then allow you to root the old hboot with unrevoked and flash custom Rom. As for flashing the hboot I'm not aware if the xtc clip can do it directly. But the jtag clip can for sure.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roxrox:
Yes I can confirm this as I have an XTC Clip in my store.

It completely removes all S58 security data to leave the handset fully factory unlocked, super CID & S-Off, all without even rooting or flashing the phone, this clip is awesome and totally rocks my shop.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] amoamare:
ShiftRRv1.0

Shift Root and Recovery will be able to root you're phone in a pretty safe manner. The program is designed to only flash the eng boot if the MD5 checksums are correct.

This does it by simply pushing / pulling the hboot from the phone and checking the MD5 as if you were to manually do it. Only this just does it automatically.

Check Root:

This will just run a quick and simple SU test to make sure you are or are not rooted.

Root:

You will click on this to install the ENG Hboot and load the correct files after the Hboot has been flashed.

Install Recovery:

You simply select the recovery image you want to use with your HTC Evo Shift. Leave the phone at the home screen and click install. It will auto reboot you to bootloader, flash the zip then auto reboot you to recovery to make sure it flashed successfully.

Backup / Restore WIMAX:

This option lets you quickly and easily backup your wimax keys to your home pc. It will also let you restore your wimax keys to your phones partitions.

[WHAT THIS PROGRAM DOES]

When you click on root, and click "NO" for this phone does not have a ENG Hboot. The program push's the ENGHboot from the Hboot folder to the phone and push's busybox. From there it gets a temp root shell. It then cross checks the MD5sum on the phone itself using busybox md5sum /data/local/eng_hboot if the MD5Sum math's it then proceed's with the dd if cmd. Once the dd if cmd is done. The program then sends the dd if cmd to /data/local/eng_hboot_check, it runs the cmd busybox md5sum again and verifies that the MD5Sum matches if so everything went well, the program cleans up its mess off the phone and alerts you its safe to reboot. IF IT FAIILS it will try 1 more time. The program is designed to check the HBOOT md5sum and verify if its the ORIG hboot if it is not and the MD5Sum doesn't check between the ENG and ORIGINAl it will attempt to flash the original and notify you if it succeeds. IF IT FAILS AGAIN. IT WILL NOTIFY YOU NOT TO TURN OFF YOUR PHONE AND COME HERE FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS. I ADVISE YOU TO LISTEN.

After this YOU MUST REBOOT THE PHONE.

When phone is powered up again Click Root again this time select "YES" that the phone has a ENGHboot, this will get temp root again and push all the needed files, "SQLITE3", "BusyBOX", "SU", "Superuser.apk" to there proper location.

If YOU CLICK "YES" and didnt have the ENG Hboot thats fine it simply will temp root you and push files to your phone, but when you reboot they will be gone. Just start from the begining again and do it again.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] herbthehammer:
I don't know if this is what it's trying to achieve or not. I don't know how to do it either. Judging by all my previous phones, an all in one script could be written to do everything the s-off, root, and recovery post is telling how to do. Just a "simple" batch file and some support files and presto, it's all done!

Zip everything needed together and just unzip and run. I could probably teach myself by ripping apart other all in one packages and adjusting my port to follow loosely what they are doing but I just don't have the free time to spend on that project. By the time I would get around to doing it, someone else would have finished it. I just don't know things like telling the phone to reboot into different modes so it could continue it's job. I can visualize it in my head but making it a reality is completely different. Doh!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] stillryan:
Anyone know where the download link went? I've been having trouble with rooting my phone and wanted to try this, but theres no download link in the first post (unless my computer decided to stop showing links).
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] SirRipo:
Link was removed temporarily. Learn to read guys, sheesh :P

On a side note, I'm pretty psyched about this OP, since I haven't had the ambition to sit down and root my phone yet. Just curious, are there any files that would need to be downloaded prior to using this (such as the ****-root.zip used in the other root method)?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] stillryan:
Oops, saw everything except "removed temp..." in the first post.

It looks like there isn't anything extra that needs to be downloaded. Looks like the OP figured out a way around it.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] hoesnaps:
Possibly the recovery files ( clockworkmod 2.x or 3.x ) and have HTC sync set up to even connect the phone I would guess.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Sorry guys will work on this again in a few days girl is supposed to be going in to labor today...

On the side note the issue that I ran into is that running rageagainstthecage from the windows side does not give you root. It actually disables usb connection between the phone and the computer. I was trying to make this so you didnt need anything other then the program. But now with that being a problem z4root would be needed to obtain at least temp root but if i doesnt drop you to # then it still will not work from doing it automatically using arguments. That is what i'm trying to resolve first..

Ill get back to you guys on it, and ill even add the option to restore wimax keys.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] kbrn:
That's what I was thinking You have to Temp root with Z4root first.

Since The manual root requires super user to work.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] vampir4997:
Dude!!!! thank you so much for this. Been wanting t root badly but was afraid to try the other method. Good luck with baby!!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] SirRipo:
Perhaps someone brave could test it out by temp rooting with visionary/z4root and then running the program? If you posted the download link back up.

First of all, thank you for this easy GUI root method!!! I'm relatively new to Android and rooting. I did however managed to root my Shift on my first try. Everything's working except when I reboot or power down my phone, it goes to the clockworkmod recovery screen instead. In earlier posts I see that this is due to clockworkmod itself. I noticed that the version included in the rooting package is 2.5.1.8. There's a new version 4.x. Is it safe to replace the old version with the new? The filename of the old version had "shift" prepended tn it and am not sure whether this old version was specifically tailored for the Evo Shift only. I just want to fix the shutdown/reboot issue so that it doesn't go to clockworkmod.

Thanks!!!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
You can use ROM manager from the market to flash a newer clockwork recovery, but stay away from version 3.2.0.1, because it does not wipe data at all and will leave you with endless bootloops i use 3.1.0.1, but the dev who modded that for us is no longer with us :( so yeah just stay away from 3.2.0.1 and your good to go

I see we're getting different experiences with 3.2.0.1...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
Hmm weird everytime i have used 3.2.0.1 it never finishes a wipe like in wipe data/ factory restore it never even confirms it being wiped at all so that to me means it dont wipe, plus all the bootloops i and a few others have had tells me to stay away from it

Up until right now I would have said that 3.2.0.1 is stable.. not anymore. Got stuck in recovery and nothing would flash. My nand backups kept getting mixed md5 and wouldn't restore. Luckily I had Sparks recovery on my SD, flashed it and everything was good to go. Had a bit of a scare there when absolutely nothing would flash or restore.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
I knew the acid had wore off when i was flashing.......lmao just kidden i have tried to redownload and redownload and redownload 3.2.0.1 and have had the same results, ROM manager screwed me, flashing it with adb screwed me every way i have tried screwed me so i just use sparkso recovery and i have been golden every since

There is no reason to flame anyone or argue over it, simply put just ask and the arguments could have been avoided thanks for the people who PM'd me to ask about it etc. I know i dont support much in the ShiftRR or thread, i only had the shift for the time i made this software and the software only works on the version that was out.
