I used Super Manager to delete the stock music app...Root Explorer would work as well. And I'm using Gingerbread...but I saw when I searched for the apk that there is a how-to for Froyo.

I was looking for something like this. Thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arizurdo:
Hi all!

I've been doing some research in how to flash my phone (which is a Korean GalaxyS I9000 Mini) and I wasn't quite sure if it's fully compatible with the ROMs for the original Samsung Galaxy. At least it was running Samsung's Eclair image (with some minor bugs).

I bought it in Everbuying, you can find it with this name: Galaxys I9000

*This phone doesn't have the 3 keys combo enabled, so I can't boot in Recovery or Download mode.

Before I start to flash the phone I wanted to perform a backup and then fix the button combo bug, so I downloaded Rom Manager to use the ClockWorkMod Recovery, but when I first tried selecting Galaxy S I9000 for the boot flash nothing happened and I was still getting the default Stock Recovery 2e.

Because I'm kind a stu**d, I thought... "Maybe I can try with another Samsung S model" and then I tried to flash ClockWorkMod selecting the Samsung Captivative model.

Now, when I turn on the phone it gets stuck in the Galaxy S boot up screen and there is nothing else I can do.

I think tomorrow I will try to make a JIG cable, but I'm not sure if it's going to work, I never was able to access Download mode, neither with ADB commands.

Someone have any suggestion?

Is there anyway to revert the bootloader to the old state?

Thanks!!

PS: Here is a screenshot with the Model information

Hi.

Unfortunately I have no idea to help you. However, I would like to know if the "magnetic field sensor" and GPS of your cellphone work.

I also have a I9000 mini with Android 2.2, but couldn't use GPS, magnetic field sensor and backup the actual ROM (I tried with ROM Manager).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arizurdo:
Hi!

The GPS doesn't works fine, but I think is related to this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842694

I didn't test the magnetic field sensor, but I think only the gravity sensor works.

Today I've made a JIG cable and it's not working )=

I think I messed up this time, download mode doesn't seem to be present in this phone...

is yur phone rooted? not mater wat, u need the 3 button combo to flash a rom
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arizurdo:
The phone was rooted.

Fixing the 3 button combo was going to be my next step... but I wasn't able to install CWM completely and when I picked up a different model in the ROM Manager app the phone stopped working.

I will try to repair the phone in my country (Argentina), if I can't... I will have to send the phone back to China and it's going to be like 3 months!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotia2003:
Searching for i9000 mini on the Internet I found a chinese forum that has some information about our cellphone. There are some topics with information about how to upgrade the i9000 mini. Maybe you can find some help there too. Some links are:

products.mobileuncle.com

/thread-45331-1-1.html

/thread-45364-1-1.html

The cable necessary to flash the cellphone is a regular USB to 3.5mm type? Because a user here in XDA said that a cable to flash MTK cellphones could be bought at etowalk.com (search for "mtk"). I found it (I guess), but it cost $50. At dealextreme.com there is a regular USB to 3.5mm cable (sku.2552) for about $1.5. Are they the same?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadf:
Hey xda crew!

i was hoping you might be able to help me out with this problem i have

I tried to root my phone recently using the "newbies guide to rooting x10" and well when i turned my phone back on it wouldn't turn on and just vibrated constantly untill i took the battery out.

after that i decided to try and reinstall software using SEUS and it told me that it worked. But when i tried to start my phone it again wouldn't start. but this time instead of vibrating the screen light just turned on and sort of flashed every now and then.

I left the phone on all night charging while the screen was doing funny things, in hope that it would eventually start up. but when i got up in the morning the battery had gone dead and all that was happening was the red led light was flashing.

I tried to get it back into flash mode, but because the battery was so dead all the phone would do was the red lights would flash when i plugged it into the computer.

As im not sure that i can claim it on warranty.. i was wondering if my problem lies in the USB cord/charger or the phone its self? or the battery?

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Would be a amazing help.

Thanks heaps in advance.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxyprime:
Well, something probably went wrong when you tried too root it, so it turned into a brick.

You won't be able to claim it on the warranty because you lost that when you tried rooting it.

Get your battery charged (maybe in someone elses x10), and search the forums here, i'm pretty sure that there is a de-brick guide somewhere, although i haven't tried it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitezboon:
To get into flash mode, your bttry need to be on 50% charged... Your phone must've been booting all night, find a way to charge your battery mate, n then bfore flasing, take out ur battery, hold the back key n insert it back.... Hope this will b helpful...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skryte:
maguyver it take an old charger cut the end off strip the wires now touch the red to the positive and black to negative of your battery and plug it in... i had to do it for my buddies droid x when i bricked it when it was it it reads as full charge but you only wanna have it plugged in like that for like 10 min tops
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeus09:
Guess there's not many to help in this issue. I just faced the same man. Don't know what to do. It won't go to flash mode, SEUS don't recognize, neither the flash tool. Reinstalled PC companion thinking the drivers have gone wrong but that don't seem to be the issue.

So im here with a bricked x10, lol but not funny ppl
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimzFreebies:
Someone(recognized developer) in the forum said that the X10 can't b hard bricked. Also, i got this problem 2-3months back. But now its alright.

SEUS did't find the drivers for my x10. Then i went to my friends home(who also has x10) and flash my x10 using seus. I found drivers because drivers were already installed on my friend's pc.

So, i just want to tell you that:

Flash your X10 from that PC which already has drivers installed.

Remember your x10 can't b hard bricked. It will be semi-bricked.

Sorry for my bad english
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runaway_bunny:
I'm not a DEV :D

But I played and bricked and de-bricked my x10 a lot and I literally installled and tested almost all ROM's the dev's posts :D

So, this is what I feel would've happand.

First of all, u didnt mention if u were on 2.1 or 2.3.

Because rooting 2.3 is not as easy as 2.1.

Now, like what most people commented, you root must have been broken.

Also, what I feel is that your battery stats were wrong.

That means, your battery was not holding the proper charge what it was actually "showing" (charging is infact is software based).

Now, what you actually can do is, find another person who has an X10 near your place.

Put ur battery in his cell and check whats happening.

If its really out of juice, then use "his" phone to charge your battery.

Charge it to full and then put it back to ur phone and try starting your phone.

If the vibration thing is happening, then ur battery is good.

Now open flash tool, and remove battery from ur phone.

Connect USB to phone and comp, and press the back button and hold it, and while holding it, insert the battery.

From my experience, you should be seeing the green light now, and my openion is that u flash the 2.1 generic firmware and then rroot the phone first, install recovery and after doing these, install any of the custom ROMs available.

I'm using Wolf's ROM v 4.04 and its very stable.

All the best and report back if your problem is fixed.

[Captivate General] fiveoneooo:
So long story short I lost my phone a week ago, one with terrible gps I should add, I didn't get the standard 5 dollar a month insurance from the death star, the guy at the wireless place offered me some other option where you pay a hundred up front but the deductible was only fifty so I did it thank god.

The insurance was through protect cell. So i filed a claim and they two dayed me phone feddy ex new sim card all. So i activated the phone and what do you know it has constant, i mean extremely constant random shutdown, like every 20 minutes while the battery was over 50 percent. So i the insurance company back and what do you the had the cap on back order so instead of being able to over night me a phone I had to deal with random shutdowns for a few days.

So the new phone finally arrived today and so far no random shutdowns and I did a gps test today and it worked extremely better than ever before. Hopefully this continues. Because I did hear fresh phones are more apt to have a functionable gps.

So to everyone with some sort of issue I suggest using those one year manufacturers warranties until you get a completely functionable phone. I do understand that is a big hassle for most of us and we shouldn't have to do all that to get a working phone but imo its better then having a phone that is lacking in some of its functionability.

Now more testing on custom rom and I am all set, praying gps maintains cuz it's a dealbreaker for me
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I got my replacement phone last week (random shutdowns). The replacement had 4 shutdowns in less than 24 hours, the phone I was replacing had 4 shutdowns in 2 months. Called and *****ed that the replacement was within the same IMEI range as the affected phones. They overnighted another phone without waiting for the first or second phone to be returned. Third phone is working fine so far. GPS on Andromeda 1.2 is awesome.
[Captivate General] fiveoneooo:
Yea my phone also falls into the random shutdown range sadly, but hey so did my first one and I hadnt had any problems with it. Curious do you have insurance through att or did you get your replacement through warranty?
[Captivate General] goof72:
Fortunately, I live within 25 miles of a AT&T Tech Center - right next to an AT&T Sales Store - and they always have the Cap in stock. I'm on my 4th one, due to hardware issues - all at 0 cost under warranty. They were nice enough to show me that the new phone would boot to recovery, lol.

Happily running Serendipity 5.12, and patiently awaiting Gingerbread.

Thanks to all the devs and members at xda forums for your tireless enthusiasm!
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
No insurance, all replaced under warranty.

well its day two and I'm now running andromeda, gps is decent but not spectacular. Scheming on an inspire now
[Captivate General] TigerEnigma:
Held out since Dec 2010...replacement on the way

There are quite a few threads about the Captivate Shutdown issue, and actually there are a few with some good observations on how to potentially correct it, but ultimately it needs to be replaced:eek:

So, what have I tried:

1) Captivate Keep Alive: Works, but battery drain...and non solution.

2) Load Monitor: Works, not a huge battery drain...still, does not fix the underlying issue.

3) Contrary to what many have said, a custom rom/custom kernel does not fix the issue.

4) It does appear some have had success with cleaning battery terminals, and a few have stated Samsung replaced the battery terminals and it fixed the issue.

I called At&t today, 03/08/2011, they asked me for the IMEI code and what color the water damage indicators where (pink or white?). No water damage here, so white please.

They are doing an exchange by mail, since I do not live close to a repair center...I have 14-days to ship the original back. It was quick and to the point. The replacement is a "refurbished device" direct from the manufacturer. Fingers crossed that I do not experience this again on the replacement as others have.

Hope this helps someone sitting on the fence on whether or not to ship theirs back. Remember to unroot, unlag, and otherwise un-fun your phone before shipping back;)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonton1017:
I am currently using Wolfbreak's latest rom.

Everytime i install data2sd.zip from xrecovery, i get a long boot, then a boot loop.

When i get into android, i either freeze at the tutorial with a bunch of reports of app crashes (google calendar and etc.) or freeze later on when i decide to reboot.

If i reboot, it will freeze before i can do anything, and it will say something like "uids on the system are inconsistent... instability and etc"

I followed these steps from the post slowly and repeated these steps a few times:

1. Go to Xrecovery and make a Backup of your current ROM (optional but i suggest it)

2. make following in Xrecovery

- do a Factory Reset

- Wipe Cache Partition,

- Wipe Dalvik Cache

- Wipe Battery Stats

3. Install Custom Zip and choose CM6.1.3-V4.zip

4. Install another Custom Zip and choose CMUpdate-V4.3.zip

5. Install CM-V4Gapps.zip for Google Apps

6. When its booted go to your Programs and choose preinstalled Sysctl and make sure it is enabled with this Settings

[http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=463}

7. Go to CyanogenMod Settings/Tweaks extras and Select a theme and choose CM6.1.3-V4

8. Reboot

I give the phone about 30mins, and then i reboot and install xrecovery.

So I know about the official teamdouche website with the cm7 nightlies, but they only go to #13, and now rc2 (downloading now). What I am very confused about, and have spent alot of time trying to figure out is: what are these nightlies everyone here is talking about, people casually mention nightly builds that are 5 times what cyanogen has released. back when cyanogen was on #3 people were talking about downloading nightlies well into the 30's, and just today someone was talking about a #42. Did I miss a memo? this has been irking me for a while now if someone could explain all this business to me that would be great, and maybe some sort of compilation of all of these "nightlies".

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drPheta:
Current nightly available is #14 at http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=inc

They reset the counter when they made nightlies for CM7. You can also see the date stamp on that page on their mirror.

ProTekk is making updated CM7 ROMs on his own using the same EXACT merged code that they do for CM7 nightlies. The only difference is he puts them out every morning around 10am (and more frequently than the build bot).

So you've rooted your phone, hacked your webtop, but then you realize that your Ubuntu doesn't have ssh. Wait, what? What the hell is *nix for if you don't have ssh?! :D

Time to fix that.

Based upon the existing packages, the Ubuntu installation is Jaunty/9.04. In this case, the packages to install for clean dependencies are these:

libedit2

openssh-client

passwd

For each package, you want to download the package that's listed as Published to /mnt/sdcard-ext (before you complain that I'm using old packages, when starting up, I prefer to have a consistent OS, rather than picking and choosing packages from several different versions).

Installation ended up being simpler than I expected, although I ended up remounting /mnt/sdcard-ext as /osh/mnt/sdcard-ext so that I could have a decent work area in my chroot. Here were the commands I used (including the remount) after downloading the three .deb files into /mnt/sdcard-ext:

Settings→SD card & phone storage→Unmount SD card

From the Android terminal:

su

mkdir /osh/mnt/sdcard-ext

mount -t vfat /dev/block/vold/179:33 /osh/mnt/sdcard-ext

From LXTerminal:

sudo chroot /osh

dpkg -i *.deb

exit

Settings→SD card & phone storage→Mount SD card (this will forcibly unmount the SD card from the other directory and mount it in the normal directory)

Congratulations! ssh has just been installed. :cool:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] edounn:
Is this the process people are using to install other. deb packages? Apt-get isn't working for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sogarth:
I'm actually not sure what other people are doing. :p

Personally, I'm reluctant at the moment to use the second-layer package management tools, since there really isn't much free space in /osh, and I'd rather not trigger a domino effect of package installation by accident. As such, I'd prefer to be a lot more precise in what packages I'm installing.

Besides of which, the custom Motorola Ubuntu packages do cause some issues. For example, they shipped a version of Awn that normally ships with Ubuntu 9.10, so it's difficult to touch (if you want to go back to that version but stock, it starts an upgrade loop that becomes difficult to manage). But, you can try setting your depot to launchpad.net, which might work out for you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xlemming:
some static linked binaries i built

I built a few static binaries today as I too don't really want to screw with trying to force some packages in alongside the base system.

I included a tarball (seems like the forums won't take a tar.gz) with scp, sftp, ssh, and wget in it. They are all static linked arm binaries so you shouldn't have any dependency issues. They're not built with anything special, I just grabbed the latest openssh and wget and built them.

I've only tested the ssh and wget, but I would assume that both scp and sftp also work. If there is enough interest I can post the rest of the openssh suite, I got the entire suite to build (didn't test it though).

Let me know if things work, I may build other things as a bunch of static linked binaries, or just setup a chroot to run more stuff from the webtop.

Is it just me or does the phone take at least 90 seconds to boot from powered off.

As a frame of reference, windows 7 boots in 22 seconds on my desktop.

Before you start flaming me for comparing a desktop to a phone:

While my desktop obviously has more horsepower than my phone, I would think that android would be a lot smaller than win7 AND that the internal memory card would be pretty fast.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I have noticed that different kernels can affect boot time, as can different ROMS. I notice AOSP roms tend to boot much quicker than sense roms do. Some sense roms boot quicker than others, and some kernels seem to also affect how quickly the phone will boot up. It definitely takes way longer to boot up after wiping cache and davlik cache, because I believe the system has to rebuild that while it's booting, which takes some time. Maybe try a different kernel, or flash to a different rom and see if you find a combination that boots quicker. I think the most important thing is that it boots up in the first place!
