Arghhhhh what is going on lol

Right odin passed Installing CM7 Intial Kernel -

Now i entered recovery to flash efsbackup and now i get a message assert failed: is_mounted("/efs")

E:error in sd/card/galaxy-efsbackup.zip (status 7)

Instalation aborted

grrrrrr
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Skip the efsbackup LOLS. You don't need it. An efs backup should have already automatically been made when you flashed CM7 initial kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chrisvr4:
lmao :P so i flash miui?

edit: format system etc as stated in the installation thread?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Yes :) LOLS :P Looks like teh guide needs to be fixed Rahulrulez! That's an old guide :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chrisvr4:
Sh!t

Flashed miui (sucessfull) and clicked reboot and screen with something Galaxy glitch? and then automatically returned back into recovery ???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
LOLS you used "Reboot into Recovery" didn't you?

Format /system, then reflash MIUI MCGv3
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rahulrulez:
Is anything wrong?

I given efsbackup only because CM7 team removed initial kernel from sourceforge
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chrisvr4:
erm.... Reboot system now and that gives me the galaxy glitch and takes me back into recovery

Before i flashed i formatted system, data/cache the flashed miui
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] streakpt:
Is there anyway to install portuguese language on this rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Remove the efsbackup, it is no longer needeed :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rahulrulez:
Removed it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Hmmm strange. format /system, /data and /datadata. Then flash MIUI MCGv3. Pull battery and then turn on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Make a request here :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rahulrulez:
This happened to me few days back.. I don't know what's the problem
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
How did you fix it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rahulrulez:
just formatted /system, /data, /cache, /datadata... and flashed miui
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Haha okay :P Maybe add that to the guide?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] streakpt:
Well ive google a bit and found this : http://crowdin.net/translate/miui-23-pt/Monitor.xml/en-pt is there anyway to use it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
No :( 10chara
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chrisvr4:
right guys still in trouble now :(

Formatted system/cache/data/datadata and flashed miui sucsesfully

clicked reboot and im being automatically put into clockworkmod recovery???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rahulrulez:
Ahhh... I think you should reflash froyo. This time try other base and then manually flash speedmod kernel..

I will test the given Froyo base again. (It is released by Cyanogenmod SGS team, it's the best)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brack11:
Flashed miui but it seem so slow comparing to jvh, maybe I do something wrong but I followed all steps in guide and didn't have any single problem in flashing. anyway that is the first impression, the other, bigger problem for me is the lack of russian language which I use from time to time. Have no slightest idea how to flash or install extra language.

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Ok just start again from the beginning.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
First of all for hte lag, try locking and unlocking the device. as for the russian language, sadly, you will have to google around.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chrisvr4:
Damn :(

Right i have this already downloaded froyo.I9000XXJPU do i flash that in odin ?

Instructions please lol and possibly links to other things

cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Start again from the guide I showed you, don't use JPU. https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1ItSONRa9nzI7MKeKqwIdHCTRA3RRiOM_6LcJGnK4p6Y
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brack11:
Locking and unlocking? Could you explain more because I don't really understand what do you mean and where in menu I can find that option

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Oh LOLS, yea in the menu it's laggy (due to the high customisation - standard android/samsung roms is very basic as you may have realised) and with MIUI and CM7 lock and unlocking means you press the power to turn off screen to lock then press home or power to turn screen back on to unlock - fixes most things.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rahulrulez:
Currydude... Whenever I play music and try to lock device. Song starts shattering. And it takes edges to unlock again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Go into Pimp My CPU app and set min freq to 400Mhz (Samsung ROMS also set minimum frequency to 400Mhz)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Yeah, looked into it last night but went to sleep after :D now i have time this afternoon to make it, so let's see.

You'll need the Premium version, and not everyone can get that, so it'll be an option.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
There was a free alternative, lemme look for it :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chrisvr4:
right started over again and still the same error after odin passed and rebooted

E:can't mount /dev/block etc etc.

Guys can i skip this now and return to my previous (Tweaky) ginger rom or am i bricked ? lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
That's normal. Just pull battery and continue
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
not if it's in the free section. before we switched over to the mainline, cm7 was in the free section.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
;)

:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Yeah true, but i checked last night and there are no CM7 downloads in the free section of ROM Manager, only in the Nightly section + plus you have to be Premium to download them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brack11:
ah ok, of course I did that several times... no lack, still lag. Maybe I used too much to the smoothness of custom roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
i said they were in the free section before we switched to mainline. meaning it is possible :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mathijs727:
I flashed MCGv4 this morning...

A few force closes, but the were fixed by rebooting.

The speed is excellent and the battery seems to hold fairly well.

One problem:

Flash player (10.3) isn't working.

Installed it from the market, and did a reboot.

But when i want to watch a movie on the internet it says i don't have flashplayer or i have a old version...

Tested Marthon and MIUI browser, and both not working.

Another thing: gps is very bad.

I tested it yesterday on js5 and i got a fix within 10 seconds.

Now when i try to test it, it will only find 2 sats and it won't fix.

I know it's up to the cm7 devs to improve the it, but i justed wanted to say it.

But overall:

You've done a great job, and i hope you guys will continue making these miui roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Flash Player 10.3 works fine for me.

Also, MCGv4? LOLS The latest is MCGv3

As for the GPS, use the same modem as you used with JS5
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
looks good. galnet could easily set that up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Maybe, MAMBO can ease some workload off poor Galnet? LOLS
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
does mambo have access to modroms? :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chrisvr4:
Arggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Guys i did everything word for word and the same is happening now

Galaxy Glitch and im automatically being taken to recovery :( :(

How can i go back to my previous Gingerbread rom ? please help lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tea...ys/radio-cm-7-GalaxyS-JPY-signed.zip/download

tralalalala.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
I believe Galnet provided the details to MAMBO :) Maybe MAMBO can confirm this? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
don't choose reboot into anything from recovery. either use 3-button combo or battery pull.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
+1 If you have already used "reboot .... blah" then you need to format /system and reflash MCGv3
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
if he did then mambo can do it too :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
well from the absence/quietness of MAMBO, it appears that it is underway! LOLS - I probably won't use it though :P I prefer using my trusty PC to download things. Nevertheless, it would be useful if I'm on the go/do not have access to a computer :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chrisvr4:
lmao i am sorry for this guys and really appreciate your help :)

So what you saying i format system/cahe/data/datadata and reflash miui again then pull battery out after flashing miui and power up as normal????
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Yes :) It should work LOLS :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
yeah same here. even when i'm using my phone i'd rather just go to the website and download using the browser instead of using an app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
yessir. goodluck :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
LOLS wrong quote? Oh wells, it'll be awesome if it's there

EDIT: There you go :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
hahaha you caught me :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chrisvr4:
Lmao right just flashing miui so we'll see ;)

Why is this so hard lol i came from a desire and flashed hundreds of times so easily lol and only 1 semi brick :P

Fook!! fook!! fook!!

same again guys, pulled battery out after sucsessfully flashing miui, powered up and guess what........ booted straight into recovery? :(

I think i'll go back to my previous rom for now so how can i do that lol if its possible??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Ah yes my bad :)

yeah CD looks good, i have the details to G's site etc, so i can do it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Haha :P don't worry I won't tell anyone ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Turtuga:
hello ;)

how to use radio fm???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
:s well that's just weird. try from froyo? :p i was actually going to say from froyo but currydude said just wipe and reflash and it should work but since that didn't try from froyo again. and never ever touch the reboot into blah options in recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
you cant :)

hello :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
I would believe you but you didn't say LOLS xD
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Turtuga:
radio fm doesn't work??

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
..not until MIUI implements it (late July)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Not available yet

Ahh I see It seemed to work for other people .. But I guess you'll just have to try from Froyo again. Also, I think in the guide it said to have "Auto-Reboot" Tick o.O UNTICK THIS!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Turtuga:
big thanks ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
@currydude: maybe you should add the FM Radio question into the FAQ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
LOLS! :P Do I really say it THAT often? HAHA :LL Imagine someone tried a search on this thread for "LOLS :P"
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Haha no worries and thanks for the millions of thanks that you gave me for nothing o.O LOLS :L
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chrisvr4:
Ive tried twice now and im having the same issues lol i think i'll leave it for now and try again sometime :) I need to get my phone up and working so Can someone explain how i get back to my previous rom plz? that was (Tweaky ginger) :-P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Will add it now :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
maybe the problem he has is something else :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
omfg. 633 results. AHAHAHA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
if you have that JPY rom from sourceforge, flash that and then follow the normal steps you followed to flash it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Probably ....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Turtuga:
not for nothing

your help is precious

and MAMBO04 and Galnet ;)

sorry my bad english

ps. one question in app quick settings lantern not work in MCGv3 :|
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Done :)

In the future, please refer to the MIUI FAQ Section before posting. (I just put this here for the sake of it LOLS :P)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Haha, can you please paraphrase this please? Lantern? Do you mean LED Settings?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
hahaha! Lols :p Off to bed, bye guys :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
maybe you ought to remove the ETA :) people become mean once the month comes and will constantly ask for an exact date.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Turtuga:

when I turn the mobile phone does not increase the down brightness
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] LaurensJ:
When upgrading to 1.5.20 you need to wipe data, datadata, cache and system!

Is this just a matter of removing al the stuff in those directories with root explorer? Or is it done in CWM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
you just need to wipe system and cache if you're already on miui. and it's done from cwm. look in mounts and storage.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
I think you don't understand properly, only CWM can do this, it has an option for factory reset, and then you have to go into mounts and storage and wipe the following.

Or you can simple use Lippols ultimate cleaner first and then wipe data etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
lippols script doesn't clean any of that. :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
I meant for the pre-reqs and then the data etc he has to do himself. wasn't that clear :D

Also i'll be getting a new contract soon, so undecided on which phone to get, Samsung again or HTC? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] R4V3N:
i used advance task killer its autokills the programs that is open when my screen is off. somebody post something about this back when im still using my x10. it saves me from battery drain and memory problem. ive been using it since then.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] LaurensJ:
That's clear. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
i've decided to always stick to samsung now :) you better not leave us :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Yeah dude i won't be leaving ;) I'm keeping the Galaxy S, got a HTC HD2 now, the SGS2 is enticing but still not sure on it. The HTC Sensation looks sooo good but development is literally not picking up due to security measures..

No worries
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
sensation has a signed bootloader :p

what'd you get a hd2 for? is it running miui? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] R4V3N:
Boss SGS2 Should be your best bet! I Want One Too!!! :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Yup i know, HTC really screwed up in that area. Literally acting like Sony and Apple combined. But, i'm sure it'll be hacked, the hardware specs alone are toooo good. Plus if i'm honest, Samsung phone builds are shabby, they need a tip or two from HTC :p

haha yeah i know mate, but want something new now!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
yeah the only complaints i ever have for samsung phones is the build quality. it isn't bad but it isn't all that good either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Yeah, they didn't really learn with the SGS2 either which disappoints me. I haven't even sent my SGS to get repaired :p cracked screen remains, but works fine. sending it off next week now i have the HTC HD2

and yes it's running MIUI :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
the sgs2 is slightly better but it's still all plastic.

i wouldn't expect anything else :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Turtuga:
please help me
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Is it just me or the incoming caller won't show contact name? only showing calling numbers (even though they exist in my contacts)

MCGv3.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dakine:
I just installed MCGv3 and so far its better than i expected. Cant believe what a difference between this and the Samsung roms.

I did get an error message when trying to install efsbackup though and now my IMEI is different. Unfortunately I didnt notice that till after I reinstalled all my apps/settings. Can I just backup my data in MIUI, reflash everything and then restore again in MIUI or will I have to reinstall everything manually once I figure out my IMEI issues?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pepporony:
Mine shown both. Where do you kept your contact?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Turtuga:
yes in RC8
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drew071:
U need go back to an official froyo rom to restore your imei. The easiest installation method for miui is to follow the cm7 method using the kernel and initial cm7 rom then putting miui on that as you don't need to worry about efs backup. As for backing up. Use titanium backup and then just restore it all after successful miui installation.

Drew
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brack11:
ok, lag seem to be gone now, but the camera app is bad focusing. Also I couldnt manage haptic feedback strength (time) I mean I do adjust it and it says "saving ..." but when I leave the menu all settings are going back to default. Does anyone know if I can use stock camera app with Miui?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drew071:
Easiest installation method to preserve IMEI.

Download the latest cm7 build and place out on your internal sd card. And place the miui installation file in the same place.

First time flashing CM 7 to your Galaxy S

[*]Make sure you're running a Eclair/Froyo Firmware (2.1 or 2.2) and Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders!

[*]Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.

[*]Do a Nandroid backup!

[*]WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)

[*]Install the cm7 ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery

then once phone is booted, shut it down and restart in cwm.

Format system, cache, data and datadata.

Then install MIUI in cwm by choosing install zip from SD card.

Once installed reboot phone and all should be good including IMEI.

Cheers

Hi guys,

I just take the plunge to Miui from Darky's

I restore contact using titanium backup by selecting Contacts and Contacts Storage, but that doesn't bring back my contacts back. Idea?

Also my YouTube apps has white background instead of the usual black. Is there a setting in theme that I can change?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dakine:
That is basically what I did, i followed the instructions from the first page to the letter but for some reason efsbackup failed. I read somewhere that the newer cm7 initial kernels do a backup automatically so i figured it was no problem. I'll flash back to froyo and see if i have better luck this time around.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ic2:
Hi all,

I'm running mgc3 and I have noticed that the device when restarted or turned on is set into R/W instead of R/O. That causes the camera apps to display black screens. In order to fix the bug I have to go to root explorer and mount it to R/O.

Is there some script that I can change in order to have it start in R/O?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drew071:
Let me know if up have any problems. I followed the route of the cm7 installation because the efsbackup script was temperamental on my phone. With cm7 it works first time everytime. When you flash back to froyo do a check of your IMEI to make sure it successfully restored.

Drew
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sendokan:
I guess u can go back to darky's and sync your contacts with your Google account. Or export them to

.vcard format and import them manually in miui.

Damn i dont get why my imei keeps changing. I just flashed back to froyo with GT-I9000_FROYO_FULL_PDA.tar. I checked my imei and it was fine so i flashed the CM initial kernel and formatted system cache and data without rebooting.

Flashed miui in cwm and my imei is totally different again.
