Q: When the GPS fix comes in Sept. will it be OTA? I am rooted and can't access Keis

I'm in Canada using Bell (i9000m)
I have rooted my phone. I've used the 1 click lag fix. I've overclocked it a bit using an app/widget.
Other than that, I haven't done anything else to my phone.
I know these are noob questions, but i just hope someone can help me.
I can't for the life of me access Keis (tried everything)
I am curious: how do I update my firmware? what about the 2.2 froyo update? will it be OTA? will I still get it? What about the GPS fix?
Basically im wondering how will I be able to get these updates and fixes if I can't access Keis -- and my phone is rooted (does that even matter?) ?
Thanks in advance guys

No one?
Just basically wondering about future updates (gps fix / froyo 2.2) --- will I still be able to receive these if I rooted my phone?
What if I can't access Kies ?

I don't think the Galaxy S has an OTA function
Which means, it's either KIES or Odin

Christ. This phone is bar none the best avail. But easily has the WORST software I've ever seen.
KIES is messed and will never work with my phone/computer. It doesn't recognize anything.
So my only option is ODIN? is there anything I should be worried about with ODIN? is it really simple to flash? or do I gotta make partitions etc.

Any chance you have launcher pro installed?

im a newbie so im just providing info i have read my self and so far that ive seen odin is very simple to follow proper instructions theres a youtube video when ur flashing something your given step by step instructions by who ever uploaded the file and if you have the 3 button combo working your good to go as you can always reflash

The phone actually does have software capable of doing OTA updates. It probably isn't set up to work yet though.
The lagfix won't affect your upgrading though, just remember to uninstall it before doing the upgrade!
Root will have zero effect too, as it is just an extra (special) application at it's core.

it needs to switch back to TwLauncher for KIES to work
you can use Home Switcher

What happens if you DONT uninstall the lag fix before the update ?
I used Ryan's 1-click lag fix --- is there a one-click to reverse it ?
is it easy to reverse the lag fix?
cheers

No you don't have to uninstal just go to settings>applications>manage applications
select launcher pro and then click on the clear defaults button. Next press the home key, it will ask you to choose a home app, choose TW.
Kies does not work untill you do that.
Other things to check is go to settings>status>usb mode select kies
Usb debuging should be OFF
Try to have the pc and phone on a fresh restart before trying to connect.
Basicly it should work.

Yes, Kies works only with TW. Also with the latest Froyo JPC firmware you get yor GPS fixed already.

Yes, you need to use the default TW. I had the exact problem as yours, uninstalled my launcher pro then Kies is able to detect the phone from there.
Allgamer made a good point. I cant find anyway to return to the default screen so i just click uninstall

Well this is the problem: I don't know how to flash (yet) so I'm just trying to learn slowly.
I am not sure if i want to flash it with Froyo FW's -- I kinda wanna wait for Bell to release their 2.2 froyo update (b/c my 3 buttons don't work and hopefully it will fix it AND the GPS)
So basically you guys have helped me with the Kies. But I am curious about the 1-click-lag-fix (I found the APP on the market and it worked) -- i don't wanna mess up my phone cuz the 3 button thing don't work.
So I just use the APP again to Un-root, use the APP again to remove/uninstall the lag-fix, then use Keis (or odin) to install/flash the new 2.2 froyo Bell update (when it comes out) ? then im good to go ?
After I update to 2.2 -- then I root again, and lag fix?

I have a Bell i9000m, rooted, unlocked and on Rogers.
After installing Samsung drivers ( PRIOR TO connecting via usb) Kies worked on first attempt (Win7 64bit). The driver pack is 18 mb and I found it somewhere here on the forms (looking for the link).
Hope that helps.

Hi, I also having GPS problem previously and I hated samsung which produce so bad gps phone but after a while I think I finally found why causes the gps issues. Ok if you go into the GPS test mode by *#1472365*# you will notice that we are using SUPL. SUPL true GPS which will in coorporate with the compass and stalite to fix our position and direction. But our phone compass some how need to be calibrated. Just key in *#0*# then click on sensor. If your compass showing need to be calibrate then just hold your phone by verticaly and rotate it untill you get 3. Now reboot it and try the GPS.

[Q] Kies won't recognize the device

Hi everyone, I tried searching the forums but unfortunately I haven't found the answer I needed (no fault but my own). Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could explain how to get KIES to recognize my Captivate. I have the correct drivers installed (had them installed before getting KIES) and I also have the newest version of KIES that everyone is using for a manual download of the recent OTA update. My computer recognizes the device in mass storage mode, but when I swtich the settings over to Samsung Kies, it doesn't. Please help, I am trying to download the update via KIES.
Thanks!

Are you using Kies Mini? or Regular KIES?
Try Enabling USB Debugging Mode
And set it to "ask on connection"
Sometimes a fresh reinstall of KIES and a system reboot will help too

Are you using LauncherPro? Kies won't recognize the phone with it because the launcher doesn't let the MTP app start. Disable momentarily the default setting for LauncherPro, then when asked select TWLauncher. Plug in the USB, and voila Kies will see your cell

Grab Titanium Backup, flash back to a previous ROM, try the Froyo leak package with Odin, grab the TW Launcher there, just save it with Titanium Backup if you have donated version you can save protected apps, then flash back your current setup and install TW. I know DG listed some links to apps he removed but I am not sure if TW Launcher is there. I am using Cognition 2.2 beta 5 and I froze TW Launcher and can't figure out how to defrost it, lol.

couldn't i just use beta 6 to solve my problem since TW was removed in b7? if so, how can i find a dl for a previous version of cognition (<7)?
btw, thanks for the info rhiannon

You could, there are a few links up for it on the Cognition site, I'd link it for ya but it takes me to the download. Lemme find it for you. Do you have a backup of that setup stored with Clockwork, you could just flash your backup.
Here's a link to b6. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8648887&postcount=4186

I didn't backup anything because i've been flashing so many different things (just got my captivate a week ago) that I don't get enough settings/data saved that are worth backing up. Anyway, I can only find a link to the latest cognition dl on the website. By the cognition website are you referring to the one that is linked on the thread in this forum? Thanks for looking into this!

Look up that should be a link for beta 6.

I'm fairly sure there aren't any links to previous betas on the page, though there are some for different versions of 2.1. I just tried beta 8 with Kies and it said "The device is not supported by Kies". I tried reinstalling all drivers and the driver recovery option in Kies. I'm thinking I should try beta 5 or 6. Can you still direct me to a link somewhere? Thanks!

I posted a link for Beta 6 but here it is again, you need to be using TW Launcher as your browser in order for Kies to recognize your phone. Perhaps Kies doen't see it because of the Froyo leak on the device, but I know for certain that you need to have TW Launcher as your browser for Kies to recognize it. Here is where you will find Beta 6 link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8648887&postcount=4186

It will tell you if it was installed, however, the way I had to error check things was really hard to do because of the way adb is designed, so i did my best to do error checking, but there may be times when it may say "Installed sucessfully" and it may not have..
It should only take less than 1 minute to install, however this program disabled Voodoo lagfix when installing a modem, so when your phone first reboots, it may take up to 10+ minutes to complete the disabling of voodoo lagfix.

Hey Mac,
I was read over in the Axura thread your having problems installing the modems?
Can you please provide some details? Is there a error msg? How far did you get before it died? Did your phone reboot? etc.

I would like the ability with this program to change the top status bar color and icons. I know there is a UOT Kitchen site, but to have it in the app would be fantastic. Other then that, great idea for an app. Looks great so far.

Did you have a chance to test it using e2 yet?
I'm going to run some tests with cwm now.

Mac,
Are you using Axura 2.4? If not, what version are u using?
I just did a install of JK4 Modem on Axura 2.2 using cwm and it worked just fine...
Did you try disabling any lagfixes? i believe 2.4 uses ULF, not Voodoo, so that might be part of the problem?
Can someone here test installing some of the modems on Axura 2.4 with and without lagfix... with cwm and with e2... and report back?

Hi Guys,
Long time reader/downloader. First time poster.
Ok so I downloaded Odin from a few different threads in the SGN forum, unzipped it with winzip14 and odin wont stay open for more than 1 second, it just flashes up and goes away. Any help would be amazing i just brought a SGN and its got shamefull ICS on it so i want to down-date to GB to be safe.

PC-ODIN comes by default with two support files. You need to have them along while running the program. I have attached the file just in case. :good:

[HOW-TO][FIX][P3100][stock 4.2.2]Phone audio/mic not working

Gentlemen,
This is just a heads up if, like me, you have been frustrated with problems with the phone microphone not working using certain baked ROMs. This is not directed at or to blame any particular ROM or developer, whose efforts are highly appreciated by me and the whole Tab2 community.
A short background: I got my brand new P3100 back in April and hadn't even had the device out of the box for 30 minutes before I went down the road of rooting and modding it. I must've tried every JB ROM on this forum, though I didn't really post much because I USE my P3100 as my daily phone. However, every ROM had some kind of compromise or broken feature, some more important to me than others. For the longest time I was using CM 10.1 but Bluetooth and voice controls were broken. Then I tried the stock-derived JB ROMs, 4.1.2 and just now 4.2.2. Personally, I prefer the stock-based ROMs but the problem I had with every baked version I tried, the phone audio didn't work!
Anyway, I am not posting this as a sob story. I had the last straw today and downloaded the original, untouched ROM and I'm happy to report that phone audio finally works! The system is not rooted, not debloated, blah blah blah, and it's probably not as fast and smooth as it could be, but it works. You can root and change recoveries later as you like from any one of the other how-to threads.
So here are the steps if anyone has been having the same problem as me and want to solve it. Standard disclaimers about bricking your device, etc., apply:
Pre-requisites: Samsung USB drivers in your PC (i.e. from Samsung Kies), Odin3 (I used v1.85), UnZIP/RAR/TAR program of your choice - I use 7ZIP.
Download the 4.2.2 French ROM from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=gt-p3100
Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (3G + WiFi) GT-P3100 XEF P3100XXDMG6 Android 4.2.2 29.07.2013 1198223
Extract the downloaded ZIP file P3100XXDMG6_P3100OXADMG6_XEF.zip to yield the .tar.md5 file.
Set your device in download mode (make sure device is NOT plugged in to anything, then hold down POWER and DOWN VOLUME simultaneously for several seconds until the Android robot comes up). If using a non-stock recovery/ROM, go into that recovery and reset to factory settings first.
Now plug in your device using the cable to your PC's USB.
Start Odin under Administrator (right-click on the executable file in Windows Explorer, select Run as administrator. Accept if prompted for confirmation.
In Odin, verify that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked. Make sure that Re-Partition and any other boxes are NOT checked. In the Files [Download] area of the Odin screen, check beside the PDA button and hit that button. Point to the extracted .tar.md5 from step #3 above.
Hit Start. Be patient while flashing. Device will restart by itself. It will also stay on the Samsung splash screen for a while. Don't worry, it is initialising. Follow the instructions to set up the device. You're done.
Until I try another stock-based custom 4.2.2 ROM, I'll want assurances that the mic works. For now, I'm sticking to this.
Thanks and please give "Thanks" if this post helped you.
Edit: As you can see, the cell signal strength icon works, whereas with the baked 4.2.2 ROMs, it didn't (yes, I know I have poor reception from my present location)
