Hi all,
Ive had my galaxy s for 3 weeks now.
Iv been having intermittent wifi and gps issues.

How exactly do i do this and what do i do?
can someone pls direct me?
thnx
rep+
If u use search function u will find lots of guides on how to root. Easyest would be to download oclf from the market and read the help screen that pops up the first time u open the app

Alright I did some searching around and havent found a definitive answer. I'm trying to get my friends Captivate to work on T mobile. This is possible, correct?
Also... Do you have to be rooted and on a rom to do this? If so, what is the EASIEST most updated way to do that? My friend is on stock and I would assume on the latest OTA. If you could help I would greatly appreciate it. I can always help anyone that needs help with the Samsung Epic!
The data won't work on t mobile.the best he can get will be edge. All you have to do is root and unlock. There are one click root programs and tons of guides. After that you can unlock it with apps in the market

Doesn't always fix the problem...
I'll attach the vending.apk from my S5570 on 2.3.4... You might wanna try that!
And if that doesn't work... There might be another solution... Just follow these steps:
1. Download attachment, put it on the root of your SD-card. (Not in a folder, but on top!)
2. Power down your phone.
3. Enter recovery mode by holding Home+Power-buttons at the same time.
4. Use volume buttons to select apply update from SD-card.
5. Select the zip file, and pick it by pressing home button.
6. Select 'yes, apply update', confirm with home button. Wait for it to get done, reboot... and try if market works...
still not working
market has disappeared because of rooting
now when i browse the manage application
i still see market feedback agent
and market updater....
please help ...
extremely urgent now.
Try the above. And it's not the rooting...

He too noob after all. Better buy iPhone for fag like him, if want to playing around with android, must read carefully first, dont flash blindly... if didn't understand english just ask your friend that fluently in english.

Anyways, out of the point .. Why need a Market app
You can always download/install from market.android.com website, and it will auto-install it inside your Phone. Nowadays I'm following this method, as the Market v3.3.11 is laggy on Galaxy Mini !!
You know that this needs the market app? It won't work without it...

Hmm, didn't know about that.
Btw, how about finding the app's apk, and installing it manually ?
Yeah, for market app: not that simple...
For other apk's: that means a lot more work.... Kinda sux... Have a tablet without market...

Hmm, I didn't know Market app had these much importance. Anyways if I'm in a similar situation as the TS, I would think of re-flashing the firmware. Actually I'm least concerned about my installed apps.
Many apps provide back up features for apps

Yes, I know. Once I tried backing up Angry Bird's save progress, the save progress got backed up, but not the level scores. Lost all the scores achieved in levels.
Anyways I only uses limited apps, and some apps like Flixter Movies is not compatible with Mini, and it could never be found in the Market(app). So installing the apk manually would solve the problem
Why is this Guy freakin so much ????
Just flash the stock firmware and read all steps carefully .

can any1 help here, ive read post after post but cant seem too get anyware at all
Rooting and unlocking are two different things.. so be sure on what you really want.. Do you have froyo or gingerbread? Super one click usually works on froyo and not so for gb..

i only need it unlocked mate, not to bothered about rooting i only need an unlock code then i take it.. do u kno where i can get 1
There's already a thread about unlocking so I guess you really need both, rooting and unlocking. I'll provide you the links once I get onto a PC..

Hi Kevin,
I'm going to reply to you before you get eaten alive for not searching the forums before making a new topic.
Head over to youtube and search it. There is a guy you should get familiar with called Dr Ketan, he is a developer here on XDA and made a very simple guide to rooting the Note. I used it and as a newbie to a newbie, its piss easy.
If you still can't find the method let me know by PM here and I'll hunt down some links to you when I can.

Hi,
I bought a samsung exhibit II 4g from walmart last year. The phone was not very responsive for the past couple of months and hence I contacted T-Mobile customer support. They provided me the instructions to upgrade the firmware on my phone and I tried that with Samsung Kies. It is one of the worst software I have ever seen in my life. The firmware upgrade stalled at 3% and the only option I had was to take the battery out of the phone. Then when I turned on my phone, I got a message saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue". I tried to fix it samsung kies and it did not work. My phone was not working for 3 days when I was doing the research to fix it.
Finally, I followed the Exhibit Wiki on xda-developers (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131576) and followed the ODIN method to install the custom ROM (I could see that it is the latest firmware for this phone). Everything worked on the third try, but Wi-Fi was not. When I clicked on Wi-Fi from settings, it displays "Error" under it. I tried Wi-Fi fixer, but it did not help.
I tried a factory reset and that did not help too.
Can some one help me? I need to get Wi-Fi working on my phone.
Thanks,
Balaji.

Hi,
I did the following things and now my wifi is working.
1. Installed custom rooted kernel t679-root-v1.8.zip.
2. Installed Root Uninstaller Pro by downloading the .apk from playstore and installed it.
3. Uninstalled some stock apps from the phone.
4. Installed CWM Recovery.
Tried turnin on Wi-Fi and now it works.
Thanks,
Balaji.
Glad to hear it is all working out now. Don't worry about root uninstaller. Chances are you will never need it. At least you got here before you managed bricking the phone from following other guides not meant for this phone.
Good luck and remember the only dumb question is the one not asked. Feel free to ask when you find you need advice or guidence. Someone will always be here to help.

I see that xda-developers forum is very active and provides a wealth of information. Though it took couple of days to understand the basics and things, I was able to fix the phone using the information from the forums. Thanks for keeping this forum active and up-to-date. I am marking this thread as SOLVED.
Thanks,
Balaji.
