[Q] Please help me :(

I tried to upgrade to the new 2.2 froyo and all it gave me was the JM2, I had JM1 so I did it. Then the phone started to turn itself on and off again, so I did a factory reset from the recovery menu. Now nothing works and everything pops up with force close. I can't do anything but get back to the 3br. Please, I'm sure I'm getting freaked out for no reason but it's 4am here and I've been working on it for hours trying and looking for something.
did u have a lagfix installed on your phone before u started flashing to 2.1.1 ?
Very similar issue here - used regedit hack to get 2.2 - all I got was the JM2, phone was working fine, but I did factory reset hoping to clear all the old data, after this all I get is "Sorry!, The application TwLauncher (process com.sec.android.app/twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I did have lag fix, but unnistaled it before upgrading to 2.2
How this could be solved ?
install via odin. Kies is a P.O.S
Got the same problem.
Installed Froyo using Kies and the registry hack. After rebooting I checked my Android Version: 2.1 Update 1. So I followed the instructions to do a factory reset. Now all I can do is boot the phone and type in my pin-code. Then there are lots and lots of popups telling me a process has stopped working ...
Can anyone help? Is odin really the only way to regain access to my phone?
Factory reset, clean cash, wipe internal sd-card
I already wiped the cache and also did a factory reset twice. When entering recovery mode I receive the error: "multisc: can not acces to /system/csc/DBT/system/"
How to wipe the internal sd card then?
I have the same problem! Have a brand new Vodafone handset (no lag fix etc.), ran the regedit patch and whilst I didn't get 2.2, I stayed on 2.1 update1 but unbranded. Was delighted to get rid of bloatware but after a factory reset, the same problem!
Using my registry settings, I flashed back to Vodafone firmware but the problem still remains
OK wiped and then even formatted the internal sd-card - did this from windows explorer whilst connected via usb.
I then did a wipe/factory reset, wiped the cache and then reboot.
Still the same problem!
I eventually got it to work
I flashed via Odin, the JPK firmware and that was stable enough to get some sleep. In the morning, I flashed JPM and then rooted and lag fixed. I took the lag fix and even the root off of it before trying to upgrade on Kies so I have no idea how that happened. I'm thinking that flashing with the new ROM is the only way to get it un-bricked after that but it's good anyway because now it has FroYo with root and lag fix even though I was originally trying to keep updates to official channels so to speak (guess I found out just how unsafe the official way is vs. the unofficial way).
Me too! Thanks for the advice, I ended up doing the same!
Only difference is I updated to JPM firmware as shown on this forum - works perfectly Likewise I would have preferred not to have to do the unofficial way - guess my warrranty is now void?
Out of interest, I found it hard to figure the difference between JPK and JPM but I seemed to conclude that JPM is a slightly more recent and technically the 'final' of Froyo?
Flashed via Odin and it started to work, finnaly.
Good question regarding formware versions - it is interesting for me also !

[Q] GPS issues after wipe/flash new rom with wipe?

Hi there
I want to ask you about strange thing a saw after flashing my SGS with any other ROM than my stock PLUS GMS 2.1 Eclair JM2... It's a branded rom which i had when i bought phone in my shop. When i flash any other ROM (like Darky's or Doc's rom) GPS can't catch cold fix... Has problems with lock and sometimes it takes long time to see any satelites... When it get a fix, hot fix are ok later, but after about hour it has again problems with fix... Thats a little annoyng cause on branded ECLAIR GPS works great... I'm always making a wipe and format system before flash a new rom ald flashing roms with wipe option built in... Currently using Doc's v6.2 XXJPY 2.2.1 and same issues - problems with fix after no using gps... The worst is in the morning, after no using gps in more hours... Restarting GPS, restarting GPS status, and fighting with it and sometimes i cant catch fix gps in about 10 - 20 minutes or more... GPS isn't broken i thing if it's working on my stock branded rom... In LbsTestMode everything is seted up corrrectly... On flashed for test JPP radio (someone tells me that is best for GPS) where same problems... Is that normal after wipe that GPS needs few days to work properly? please help me anyone...
Having the same problem. Used pure JPY, GPS was blazing fast and acurate. Now with Doc 6.2 can't even lock to satelites.
if no one helps the only thing will be to flash stock JPY, and apply CWM and kernel with lagfix... But it may not helps... really no one knows whats going on with gps issues after wipe/flash?
Flash this via cwm and see if that fixes your GPS:

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
nope... didn't help... same problem...
Try this then:
http://db.tt/O5ompue
Flash via CWM then do another reboot.
If that fails, I give up
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
seems that it locks quite fast... 'll check again morning... but somethings strange. after few minutes of working gps is automaticly turning off? why? if im not moving and phone is not used and not moving it is normal?
i'm glad you're getting a quick lock with GPS now. As for your new problem, that is either application or settings related.

Galaxy S JP6 2.2.1 Market >25mb problem

Hello,
I have been having this problem since i upgraded my firmware with Kies from 2.2 JP5 to 2.2.1 JP6.
The Problem is that i have been trying to download large apps like pocket legends but what happens is that it will say is it downloading then few seconds later just stops.
I haven't done any rooting to the phone nor any Lagfixes but i have done the 3 button fix.
I have tried doing the cache cleanning method also did the anoying factory reset method and the crappy changing from googlemail to gmail method. and none of them worked.
Please could someone help me to figure this out thank you
Just to mention the downloading of large file worked perfectly on 2.2 Jp5 even when i had the 3 button fix
try this, worked for me

[Q] i9000 restart problem

I got a i9000 Galaxy s
firmeware version: 2.2.1,
baseband version: i9000xxjpy,
build number: froyo.xwjs7,
my i9000 keeps vibrating & rebooting every time i make a phone call or use the camera with gps activated, & when i disactivate the gps the cam works fine but the phone keeps rebooting during the phone calls, i've tried different flashes using odin3 & factory reset the phone yet the problem is the same...!!
anybody has any solution for that problem please?
maybe try a wipe and reflashing.. usually fixes problems like this... did you restore app+data with titamium backup last upgrade you did??? this sometimes causes funny problems like this... if not maybe the last update you did, didn't work properly... anyway.. If I were you I would wipe all cache's and data, Flash Stock 2.2 and then flash Whatever moded 2.2.1 and Rom you want.. Good luck

GPS not working on XT1052 with stock 5.1

Since 2-3 weeks ago I've lost the GPS on my XT1052. It has been working ok with the stock Lollipop 5.1 version since the update on June.
I've tried deleting modemst1 and modemst2, and it worked for 1 day (It got a lock on several satellites on GPS Status app) but sadly, it dosn't work anymore, even if I delete them again.
I've tried deleting Google Services cache, rebooting, resetting the GPS status, etc..
Will installing another ROM solve this issue, or is there any other things I can try without changing the ROM or rooting (my bank app will not work if rooted)?
