Go to settings/sound/ and select haptic feedback. That will make your keys vibrate again.
thank you so much
regarding the lagfix do i need? and which one is the best to apply, also for clock work do i need for flashing the custom roms and the themes
Try the speedmod kernal. That includes ClockWorkMod recovery. And I recommend changing all to EXT4 because its the fastest safe choice.

Hy there
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy s Model GT-I9000, Baseband I9000xxjm1, Kernel version 2.6.29, Build Eclair.xwjm2
I read a lot of things here and i would like to make my phone to work better.
I would need some help with the 3 button recovery mode, because i cannot put the phone in recovery; i would like to explain me somebody how to fix the lag thing and if possible to put the 2.2 update on it
10x
By the way, i read a lot of posts, i looked it up on the internet how to do stuff and i didn't get it...with all the explenations and the tricks and tips, and very much videos on you tube, now i'm confuse and all the info in my head is jumbled up
So please, who will help me to be prepared to be asked a lot of questions
Upgrading through Kies might be the easiest and fastest way to get Froyo. Install keys and plug in your phone and check for updates, if it doesn't show Froyo as an option (build JP6, JPM, or JPA) then check the how-to threads of how to apply the registry hack to get Kies to upgrade you to Froyo. That's the easiest because then you don't have to worry about recovery (yet) and the newer build will probably include a fix for recovery anyway.

Hey have you read this sticky yet?? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810682
The instructions there are pretty str8 forward and please DO NOT post this type of questions here. There is a question forum for a reason!
Dude U should you the search function, anyway there is no rush to go flash froyo on your SGS right away.
You should try to familiarize yourself to the phone first.

Hi Guys,
I was recommended to you by a good friend of mine. I recently pyrchased a Samsung Galaxy S mobile phone, and i must say what a great phone, i had had it for a couple of days and want to root it it currently runs 2.1 eclair is it ? and was given a file to download that contains 2 files one telling you how to root and other with root file which is ( z4root.1.3.0.apk ) now ihave already conected usb cable and have done this so far -
Gone into applications and checked unknown sources box!
Then gone into development and checked the usb debugging box!
now where it tells me to put root file into memory card via usb ! now this is where we get stuck dont know how to put root file into memory card and it should go into into internal memory not external ??
just need help and advice on what to do next so i can root my mob and know that i am in the right place for this advice .
Thanking you all in advance.

You can use Z4root for rooting 2.1 & 2.2 only.
For rooting 2.2.1 and above you must need a computer. Re-install the USB drivers and check it again.
hi thanks for that mine is 2.1 so why is my mob showing up on lappy when i connect with usb cable ?
Why you're still on Eclair 2.1? Very Strange......
I'd say first update it to 2.2.1 of your region. There is a hell of performance/speed difference in 2.2.1 & 2.1.
Why do you want to root it?
i still dont know why my lappy not seeing my mob when connected to each other ?
You need to download samsung kies this will install the drivers for your laptop to recognise your device. If i were you I would not root at all incase anything happens to your device. Download kies, update your phone and then do A LOT of reading about root.

Yep kies can be downloaded from samsung website. Or google it which will get you to the direct samsung download website somehow. When you install Kies it will install the drivers, then you can connect your phone by USB to the PC.
Yes, on 2.1. it is a bit slow (what you describe as "freeze"). If you upgrade the firmware with Kies to 2.2.1 it will be faster so you really should do that.
Why not root a phone? That's easy to answer as all the guides say here in the forums:
you should only root if:
- you know what rooting is and what it's for
- if you actually really need root (most apps won't)
why should you not root:
- "it sounds like it's something I need but I have no idea why"
- rooting requires flashing (depending on ROM) and that can "bricK" your phone (one way or the other), forcing you to get a Jig (in one of the better results) or send it in for repair (in the very worst case ever)
- rooting a phone can potentially damage your phone (by user error or by malicious apps, just think of what that dude did to jailbreaked iphones in the Netherlands once).
I'm a total Linux noob but I claim to know the difference between a limited user account and a super user (as it is similar in Windows).
So I know I have access to the system files on the phone and I know I could mess up my whole phone and break it if I mess around with these files.
Personally, I did not root my phone until I really had needs for that (such as Titanium backup). As said, many apps won't even need root access.
Anyways, do what I did: start reading those guides, they might be long, some not so newbie friendly and there are quite too many duplicates (kind of) but they contain a lot that is good to know before trying some more advanced stuff. This really saved my phone on the very first flashing already! Do some selective reading.
Should you really have needs for rooting after all that reading and only want to root but no other changes (yet) I suggest using CF-Root by Chainfire as that is a stock kernel (part of a ROM), so basically it just adds root and that's it (needs to be flashed so better read those guides).

I noticed on your first post you checked the debugging, go to settings applications development and uncheck debugging then open kies then connect phone with usb, kies should then install the drivers and it should tell you there is a firmware update which will hopefully give you 2.2.1, then you can disconnect phone, close kies, go back into development and check debugging, connect phone to pc and on phone pull down the information bar and select to copy files to your pc, then you can see your phone as a external drive. Hope this helps and works

problem being you are on eclair, it should be in your settings, USB storage will appear the moment you connect to PC like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27288114&postcount=4585 or you can try service codes, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26542865&postcount=4452 have forgotten which one .
If no luck, you can always Flash a ROM with ODIN, just follow guide and select ROM from here for your region http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
I was trying to make it easier for you by using KIES (less chance of making mistakes) but end up spending more time by avoiding using Odin

Hey guys
first of all thanks a lot for this great forum.
I have a question regarding my new Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (Value Edition) (model number: GT-I8200N).
Is there any way to root my phone? I can't find any info for this model on the internet.
In this thread only the GT-8200 is mentioned. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185700. How is this method working?
I found a guide for rooting the "normal" S3 mini by flashing the CWM and SuperSU.
Is it possible to root my phone this way without bricking it?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, i have an i8200L and I did root it with the vRoot. But does anyone know if the others mods for i8190 work for this one? Like ROMs and all that?
I've read that you can't flash roms etc. because there are differences in the software (bootloader?).
The chance that you brick your phone is pretty high.

That is download mode. You have to chose vol+ to see your status.
To get out of download mode, just hold power for about 10 sec and it will reboot to system.
Recovery mode: vol+ / home / power
Download mode: vol- / home / power (confirm with vol+)
Thanks for answer. In recovery i can not see anything. In download Mode it says "system status: official". But at the top it says "odin mode" Does that mean that warranty is still ok or not?
Is still ok!

Hi there,

So is this, I needed your help for a subject.
Starting from the beginning, I have a LG Optimus Black P970 whose software version I dont know but I know that isnt the last
Not rooted or anything, is stock
My situation is that some friends of mine have changed the pass and now I dont know what is
I don’t have on usb debugging, or root or anything
is there any way to enter the mobile from cmd or other program so that i can back up contacts, sms etc ..?
already have adb on cmd, android studio, syncdroid, moborobo, doubleTwist, mobiletrans and none of them managed to enter the mobile as it is locked by pass and the USB debug n is on
in searches have seen that doing volume down + g button+ power button it makes full hard reset I don’t want that…
and I read that from the recovery mode it activates the USB debug, which would be good! this phone has recovery mode? if so how to go for it? (only works in rooted phones??)
I read too that an emergency mode but not quite understand if you cound explain to it better please
I've tried starting the adb, but he don’t recognizes the phone
I need you help please, if you need more info about the phone or anything else let me know!!
For now thank you very much,
Regards to all,
ps (if it helps the phone is in a version where isnt possible to change the pass from google account)

It doesn't erase your phone. I don't think you had to have debugging enabled in the first place.

Again, I don't believe any data will be lost. You just need a PC with ADB, a USB cable, and P970 drivers installed. I used the method before without any problems.
