used odin 1.0 with pit 512

this was a guide i made for a not so savvy mate. so folder links and other bits you wont have but im sure it will help.

STAGE ONE

You will see in the stage one folder two items one is ODIN the other is a PIT file.

Lets plug your phone cable into a usb port ( on the main board is best not extensions)

Open up ODIN

On the left hand side make sure “Re-Partition” is ticked.

Now click on the words “PIT”

This should bring you up a selection window locate it to the “PIT” file in the same folder as ODIN.

Now put your phone in that downloader mode VOL DOWN+HOME+POWER

Plug the phone into the USB port.

You will now see the first box has a yellow com port under it (top left hand corner)

Now click start.

You will see some text in the bottom left message box.

This may take about 5mins.

But once it is done you will see a big green PASS!! In the top left box.

If its been to long say 10mins take battery out and start again.

If it doesn’t work second time Gtalk.

Once you see PASS!!!! Unplug the phone and take battery out.

STAGE TWO

On the right hand side click RESET ( its next to start)

Now un-tick RE-Partition.

Now in the stage two folder there is three files.

In ODIN click “PDA” this will bring up the selection window

Match it to this file

I9000XXJPY-REV03-PDA-low-CL757011.tar.md5

Phone matches with this file.

MODEM_I9000XXJPY.tar.md5

CSC matches with this file.

GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPY.tar.md5

Now that you have selected the files put the battery back in your phone.

Go back to downloader mode.

Plug phone it when you see the Yellow com port like in stage one click start.

This may take a while but you will see some text in messages box bottom left.

Once this is done we will again get the green PASS!!!!

The phone will proceed to the home screen.

You have successfully updated your phone to the latest version.

Pat on back.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iammodo:
Also make sure kies isnt running and try as many different usb ports as you can.

windows sucks at com port control.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bess833:
Thanks everyone for the input but as I've mentioned I've tried all possible methods that came to mind. Even the one described above..

Any other ideas? :x
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Could it be that your USB driver is screwing things up? Try flashing from a different port or better yet a different computer.

If all else fails maybe you could try to flash with Heimdall instead of Odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iammodo:
Different USB ports is always worth trying.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iammodo:
I always use Odin 1.0 but you could try 1.3 or 1.7.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iammodo:
Just throwing ideas around really.

can you get into upload mode? Try clearing SD card. Clearing cashe. All thy kind of thing.

Try flashing a different kernal disable all lax fix stuff.

What was your set up before you tried flashing?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Davestar2000:
Install (or re-install, whatever) USB drivers. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728929

Uninstall Kies (iff installed), it's horrible anyway :D

Like others said, use a different USB port. Reboot PC (lol, I know).

I like Odin 1.7 best so far...

And I agree, please describe your initial setup. Any fancy kernels? Lagfix/ext4?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bess833:
Well finally. I did everything on my PC and nothing worked, but managed to try on friend's PC and it worked.

Anyone has an idea on what could have caused this? Hope future flashing will work on my PC :p

Also thanks to everyone trying to help, limited to 5 thanks only tho :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Davestar2000:
I'm guessing it a driver issue. Assuming you have Windows, whenever you plug a USB device a driver is installed. You can see what these are if you enable the hidden devices: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/get-rid-of-old-device-drivers-hidden-in-vista/867 for Vista for example, but it works just like that for others.

Wipe every trace of the Samsung/Android drivers, uninstall Kies, run a registry cleaner, rebbot (obviously), and just reinstall the Samsung/Android drivers. Get the newest Odin. If that doesn't help, I have no idea what the cause might be.
[G2 and Desire Z General] PatrickHuey15:
I'm posting this here because I know my fellow G2-ers will help me out. Yesterday night I posted in the straight general forum asking to trade my other G2 for a mytouch 4G. I was unaware that I was posting in the wrong place, and couldn't find the right forum. Well I received a message from a mod, saying I was docked 5 points and I lost all of my post counts and everything. This is rather upsetting because I feel as I help this forum out as much as I can, and when I'm penalized for something like this, it makes me want to remove my account. It was simply an accident. Is there a way I can get in contact with a mod, and talk to them and maybe get this turned around? Its rather frustrating. Any help is welcomed.

[G2 and Desire Z General] PatrickHuey15:
It was an accident :D. Check the OP.

I've also noticed that changed my profile name, and RESET EVERYTHING. What the heck man, really.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Proxin:
I don't mean to be a bother, but they might get after you for this too. This seems to be an issue with the forum/moderators, not a G2 issue...

I would contact the moderators themselves if I were you, posting a thread to the users who don't have power won't be very productive.

I hope this gets resolved though, it doesn't seem fair at all.
[G2 and Desire Z General] convolution:
who was the mod?
[G2 and Desire Z General] theebest:
5 points? O.o I didn't know xda had a point system..
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
I think they meant thanks not points....

Patrick,

Have you been warned about posting in the wrong thread before or anything? I know it takes a warning and they will do something like that but it does seem drastic to take away thanks AND all your posts. That is a bit extreme...
[G2 and Desire Z General] PatrickHuey15:
there was a massive misunderstanding. everythinghas been fixed and my posts will be restored within a few days. im not sure really what happen, but im not worried anymore. i appreciate everyones thoughts.
[G2 and Desire Z General] moSess:
Some mods might let things go to their heads sometime. Sometimes members can be annoying and not follow rules. What can we do? Follow rules, not be internet power hungry passive agressive pricks. Simple.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Proxin:
Yup. I haven't seen cases of power-hungry mods here at xda, but at other forums they're more prevalent. It would be nice if websites could have a form that regular members can fill out to report a moderator.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pulser_g2:
Not sure what happened here, but I checked your posts and nothing seems to be removed or anything... Can you confirm it's all sorted? I don't see anything untoward here. Also, mods don't edit user profiles (the home town/etc fields)

Personally I think the should at least wand before drastic actions , but as said in other posts - no democracy...

When i finish the installation of an corrupted windows files my qteck 9000 can't enter to the bootloader have you any idea about this problem :(:( ??? and thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tony1980122:
Remove the battery for 24 hours.

Re-install the battery, plug in USB data cable and computer connections.

Press and hold: "light button"+"power button" poke and hold the "reset hole. "

If that does not work, try another key combination key + poke hard and hold the "reset hole"; other models such as the brush the wrong ROM, there may be so into the boot mode.

[Xoom Accessories] ftgg99:
Title is something of a mouthful, i know. What im looking for is a case from another device, of the book variety.

We have the official cases here in Russia, but after fingering one i refuse to consider using it. No charging closed... what a joke.

Back when i had my Galaxy Tab it was the same story - i ended up using a kindle case or some such for a while, and thats basically what i need now.

What devices fit the xoom build and dimensions?
[Xoom Accessories] js042507:
Well, there is a Kindle DX case made from CaseCrown that has a lot of great reviews. Most people who own a G Tablet used it, and spoke very highly. It may fit the Xoom snug, because of the elastic straps?

Source: amazon.com/gp/product/B002QI0X1K

Also, there's a Youtube review on the case, but can't seem to find it.
[Xoom Accessories] arrtoodeetoo:
I hope case crown makes one for the XOOM with a cutout for the camera and speakers. That Kindle one looks nice, but it blocks off some important parts of the XOOM.
[Xoom Accessories] js042507:
You're right. I didn't think about that. It would be a lame case to have if you wanted to use the camera. And you couldn't lock it. Oh well. Zoogue is the way to go imo! But pricey.

[Xoom Accessories] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Call me crazy, but after dealing with the Nightmare that is the Moto Folio Case, I Decided to shove my Xoom into my old official Ipad case, god I love that case, and what do you know, it works pretty damn good! Obviously its not perfect, it was made for the xoom, but as a folio case, I could not ask for anything better!

Just need to get a Android decal to cover up that rotten apple!
[Xoom Accessories] copualt3:
genius...nice diy...
[Xoom Accessories] ashura3:
Hey, could you re-upload those pics? Really interested in what this looks like.

Thanks!
[Xoom Accessories] jdsmx:
Can you upload the pics again. I would like to see how it looks
[Xoom Accessories] ftgg99:
Looks good, if allitle iffy around the edges... are there any better-fitting ipad cases out there?
[Xoom Accessories] ravizzle:
can u re upload the pics? (maybe just upload to xda) so they wont expire so often
[Xoom Accessories] PopG:
Just discovered that Waterfield Designs in SF, CA has just added a few items for XOOM to their catalog. I've purchased products from them before and the quality was excellent. I purchased the Suede Jacket which is a very minimal case.
[Xoom Accessories] patass:
why dont people just use photobucket...
[Xoom Accessories] Dante_l1:
I pulled this picture from another topic about Xoom coming to Sprint. looks like Sprint is going to have a leather cover.

I like the look of that, soft rail cases are my favorite!
[Droid X General] torikorocks:
Just wondering how much data do people use every month?. Verizon's planning on tiered data plans so for me its gonna suck I use at least 6gb of data a month
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Do u use tethering a lot? I hardly use tethering and try to use wifi whenever I can but I still usually wind up with about 2gb of data each month. I figure if I didnt use wifi I would be up to about 5-6
[Droid X General] DroidTh3ory:
Just don't change your plan... It is regulated that they have to Grandfather plans that will in turn be less of a service to the customers. If you don't change your plan, they can't change your data. ;)
[Droid X General] torikorocks:
@SysAdmin-x. I stream lots of videos and radio when I'm out of the house so I can't use wifi. I use tether sometimes. Also I should be using wifi when I'm at home but I always forget about it lol.
[Droid X General] torikorocks:
@DroidTh3ory. I forgot Verizon grandfathers plans. That's good news.
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
Tethering is my main source of broadband. I use about 15gb per month
[Droid X General] kEmz:
likewise. hope verizon don't charge me.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
You never get overage charges from Verizon? I have heard that over 5GB that they start throttling back, and supposedly would charge people.
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
Sys... Never been charged extra... If I ever do ill raise cain because I bought an UNLIMITED plan, they do throttle which was noticeable on stock, but the apex untether patch really does seem to work quite well.
[Droid X General] torikorocks:
I've never been charged extra either. But they do throttle you but I've accually never noticed it.
[Droid X General] thejamhole:
I've never been charged for overage either. I've had my data plan for a few years now so I guess I'm grandfathered in. I have noticed ever since iPhone 4 came out on Verizon the 3g has been awfully slow. I used to get under 100ms ping with about 2 megabit download speeds. Now the pings are over 500 Ms and speeds arent even hitting 1megabit. Pretty unacceptable considering how much we pay for these devices and data plans. They need to get their **** together.
[Droid X General] qGa:
overage? how can u get charged for overage and you have unlimited data plan?

do you have the link to Liberty 1.5? :p
[Droid X General] torikorocks:
How can I test to see how fast my 3g network is?
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
http://bit.ly/igjFKz link for liberty1.5
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
I've heard u can get charged because unlimited isnt truly unlimited with carriers...
[Droid X General] torikorocks:
I think they can but they chose to just throttle your internet so they don't lose buisness
[Droid X General] torikorocks:
I tested my 3g I get around 850Kbits/s download and about 500Kbits/s upload. Is this a good speed?
[Droid X General] jeffnucci:
I only use about 500MB but I use wifi at home and when I'm out to eat as most restaurants have wifi these days.
[Droid X General] papi92:
9.6 gb here. No overcharge and no throttle
[Droid X General] thejamhole:
Just did a 3g speed test and it's getting better. I use the speedtest.net app. Ping - 379 Ms down - 1.31 mbps up - .35 mbps. So it's better but still nowhere near the 3g speeds we pay for. I'm in Montana on Verizon. I think they throttled everyone up here so their network would handle the new load from the iPhone 4.
[Droid X General] torikorocks:
I got 122ms ping and .6Mbits/s download and .8Mbits/s upload.
[Droid X General] Laramie1997:
Eh, on average, I'd say that I use +- 15gig a month. My highest has been 24gig and the lowest so far has been 1.83gig. Yes, I tether ALOT. I pretty well have to considering that my home network is a 512K connection :o

As for the speeds, I don't think either of those that I quoted are right.

During peak hours, my speeds are around 1.41 down and .95 up- Mbps

During off peak hours my speeds are around 2.22 down and 1.01up- Mbps

Of course, I'm running Liberty 1.5 with the data throttle remove mod.
[Droid X General] DroidTh3ory:
Here is my run... After 3 consecutive tests for a average.

ApeX1.4.1 Unthrottled
[Droid X General] radiowatcher_06:
4g LTE....Nice little visual trick dude

and my 3g speed is on par with Sprint speeds in the area. I live in a pretty big city and I can go out to BFE and get 2 MBPS down.
[Droid X General] DroidTh3ory:
For sure, my phone is way faster now.... in my mind. Lol. It just looks cool. :)
[Droid X General] rjs987:
I use about 1 to 5 gigs a months depends if i travel and use tether.
[Droid X General] torikorocks:
I now use wifi tether for my ps3 it works much better than my wifi in my house. Lol.
[Droid X General] drum747:
7 Gb last month. I read that Verizon throttles at the source not at the phone so unlike other providers nothing you do on your phone will stop it?
[Droid X General] Zudovex:
Well i almost dont want to say since i got massive grief on another forum when someone posted the same question, but since you asked.... I use about a gig a day. Last month I used about 38 gigs. This month I'm (only) at 25.5 with 2 days to go. I usually get about 2.2 down and .8 up with about 200ish ping.
[Droid X General] Laramie1997:
Good lord man! I'm not gonna give you grief... Just kudos to ya. Yea yea, I know some people are gonna say something about speed depending on who is on the network and what they are doing, but meh.

I do wonder though, what are you using to tether? Doing an adhoc method or??
[Droid X General] chamba:
yeah I'm curious too :)
[Droid X General] Zudovex:
I use wireless tether and barnacle wifi tether. I doubt I hurt anyone else's speed here in the Podunk town I'm living in, I don't think anyone here even knows what a smart phone is.

I use my phone as my only internet connection, no DSL available where I'm at and I don't like Comcast. Most of my usage is from hulu and Netflix steaming. Funny thing is in a month I'm going on a 4 or 5 month roadtrip and my usage will probably go up.
[Droid X General] thejamhole:
I'd like to hear more about this throttle remove mod.
[Droid X General] Zudovex:
It removes built in throttle from the services.jar, here's a dl link. Just boot into recovery and install the zip file.

http://www.mediafire.com/?l6llsdrzr9svt55
[Droid X General] myhorsesnorts:
They couldn't charge u extra if ur in the contract for unlimited data. If Verizon did go get an attorney
[Droid X General] drewsif:
Last four months averaged just over 28 gigs a month....last month was 32 gigs....and that no capped throttle is bull**** lol....when I had it installed it did nothing but slow me down...without it....my speeds stay the same. I have experience because I came from an incredible and tried it on that phone...it did nothing. Just plain rooted with liberty 1.5 and my speeds only slow down with ****ty signals past -80 dbm. That's only 10% of my time though lol.
[Droid X General] drewsif:
Oh yeah btw I'm 4 days into my next cycle and I'm at 6 gigs already :p

I travel alot btw and if an airport/hotel doesn't have free wifi then I tether.
[Droid X General] fenixnr:
Technically this is why companies are doing what they do. Because of people who like to tether their phone without purchasing the tether plan. I understand, you bought a phone with internet and you want to use it, but technically this phone wasn't designed to be your internet connection where ever you go for your laptop/pc. The more data usage by rooted/jailbroken phones using tethering is what gets companies because it does bog down the network. Think about it, if everyone used their phones all the time for tethering it would tear down the network or it would just stop working (at&t.) But to each their own I guess.
[Droid X General] drewsif:
I hate to break it to you big Guy....but tethering only accounts for 10% of my data...when I tether I only write emails and browse news sites...and I NEVER stream. The connection isn't good enough to do any better.

However 90% of my data is using the streaming TV service on my phone and also downloading torrents....through my phone. So yea....nice assumption lol oh btw I do use wifi when available unfortunately most times they wont allow streaming.
[Droid X General] cstrife999:
Nope not true of Verizon at least...
[Droid X General] thejamhole:
So what is this actually doing? Just removal of the throttle in the services or does it tweak stuff as well? Thanks for the link.
[XPERIA X2 General] mrrekcuf:
hi,

does anyone know where in registry is the value that control how the X2 determine Landscape or portriat ?

on my X2 i need to hold it upright then the X2 able to auto rotate correctly..

but i think this is not so right as most of the time we actually tilt the X2 to about 45 degree when facing it...at this angle it seems like the X2 is unable to perform the auto rotate...

thanx in advance..

Basically, I have a HTC Desire ... no fancy stuff attached :) .. BUT i want gingerbread on it ... badly (for the close effect .. its too good). Is rooting safe? and how do I undo any mistakes? Also, how do I get gingerbread on my phone, and does everything else get wiped out?

Many Thanks,
[Desire General] vengeance1990:
Rooting as with most stuff carries risks, however google and download unrevoked which will root and turn of the security of the bootloader, (version 3.21 works if the newer version fails)

To undo root if somethings wrong flash an RUU, you will need to create a goldcard (tutorial on here, use goldcard helper on market. RUUs are available in the dev section)

When you flash the gingerbread rom via recovery (which is installed by unrevoked) it will wipe the phone, mem card and sim dont get touched

Hope this helps

[Desire General] Meaple:
Only for CDMA devices. GSM has to S-Off.
[Desire General] fish2222:
Will 3.21 work with 2.2 on USCC?
[Desire General] Meaple:
Try it. It should work since it can so CDMA devices. If it doesn't work, the program will tell you that it cannot continue.
[Xoom General] acleansc4:
Here's whats happening on my Xoom.

1) Audio - even if the volume is 1 click from silent, it plays full blast

2) Headphone - even with headphone jack plugged in, it plays full blast from speaker

I've adjusted audio w/ the rockers as well as in the system settings and they never play correctly. It's either FULL blast or too quiet to hear anything until it's raised to the max.

This applies to games playing, videos, music, anything that uses the audio.

Anyone else have this problem? It's quite frustrating...
[Xoom General] acleansc4:
Am I the only one with this problem?
[Xoom General] slowrey:
Nope I have the same issue.
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
I've been having the same issue, but not universally. I can't recall specifically what app(s) didn't suffer from this, but I know there were 1 or 2. That said, as long as I haven't fabricated that memory, it would seem to indicate a software problem, not hardware.

My hope is that it will get fixed in one of the honeycomb updates.

I want to say that YouTube was one that didn't have the problem, but can't test (don't want to wake the misses)
[Xoom General] Arun01:
The same thing happens on my Xoom too.it didn't happen when I first got it though.it just recently started doing it.hopefully a update will fix it.
[Xoom General] setite:
You should clarify if you are using a bone stock XOOM or an unlocked/rooted/overclocked XOOM.

I do not have this problem, though I can say that All but the top 3 or 4 volume settings are inaudible. I spend my time at one or two steps below max since the max volume setting is majorly overdriven.
[Xoom General] Arun01:
OK.problem fixed simply by restarting my Xoom lol..try it & see if it works and let us know please.
[Xoom General] acleansc4:
Sorry about not mentioning it in the first post.

I am running a BONE STOCK Xoom.

I did a factory data reset and it has solved the issue. However, I haven't added any of my media files yet to retest. Update on that to follow later on...
[Xoom General] acleansc4:
So after reloading some media, the sounds all messed up again. Bone stock Xoom...WTF

Even the headphone jack doesn't disable the rear speaker when inserted...

I'm tempted to return but I'm sure they'll fix this soon...HOPEFULLY!

edit: After the 3.0.1 update, all issues with audio have been fixed!
[Galaxy 3 General] bandriod:
I bought a i5800, but it came with a European Firmware, its it possible to flash it with i5800L firmware to use 3G in the USA?

Or can I flash the modem.bin file from the USA version in order to user 850/1900 rather then 900/2100?
