i did, bt still no luck
after updating to froyo there wasent android market,bt managed to install the new android market from different site,well it runs for lil bit after while unexpectedly shoutdown or somthing

Have you considered flashing one of the custom roms? There are some good guides on here for doing that. DocRom 9.6 is a good one, it's what I'm using.

If you're running froyo on your SGS now then go to your dialer and type *#272*IMEI# it will give you several product code options. Select XSG. After selecting that, wait for a few seconds and your phone will restart. Important thing to note is that after doing this, if i'm not mistaken, all datas in your phone will be wiped clean. So do a backup first of your phone if needed using kies.
You can get your IMEI of your SGS by typing *#06# in your dialer.

It's not hard reset perse. Although during the process itself of changing the product code, it will go thru the process of hard reset hence deleting all datas.
The objective is to change your current product to another one that has market by default. I believe what you have now is XSS as product code. Changing it to XSG will give you market access properly. However bear in mind that even after changing it to XSG you will have to install market enabler as you wouldn't be able to browse/buy/pay for payed apps. You can only browse and install free market apps.

Glad it helped you. If you need to access payed apps, you need to look for market enabler in market and install it otherwise you'll only get to browse and install free apps. Although it's not a bad thing as most of useful apps in android are free anyways. Enjoy your new found freedom

Singapore - SingTel Users.

hey there. was just wondering if anyone out there has the singtel rom that comes with the set in default. the one with singtel's own startup and shutdown animations.
long story short, I've accidentally reformat my sd cards and in turn lost the backup rom. if anyone out there who has it can so kindly upload it somewhere so I can download it, that'll be awesome! (incase I need to visit singtel for a replacement set)
also, any idea where to get the MobileTV application?
thanks in advance!
or, can I just flash an asian firmware(what build do we use anyway?) and use someone's singtel's update.zip file? quite new to this do yea
thanks! I've googled all this but to no avail sadly.
I'm a Optus user (Au Singtel) and it was not posible to backup our stock roms. But Optus did release a update to DTJG4 just recently so we now have a rom to default back to incase we need repairs, Maybe Singtel will release one for singaore VERY soon
Singtel just released JG4 today.
ah, but any jg roms will boot me to the singtel one with their own bootup screen or...? thanks.
it hsd been mentioned before
1) Make sure you've your data (files, sms, contacts, etc.) properly backed up.
2) Press *#272*HHMM# (HHMM refers to the time on your device in 24hrs format when you entered this code).
3) Select XSP and click on the "Install" button.
4) Your phone will reboot & do a wipe on itself.
5) Enjoy your Galaxy S without SingTel's customizations.

Yes, but next time remember to take the time out and record your details before flashing to other firmware..
I9000DXJF4 was the original..

Samsung Captivate Flashing Help?????‏

Hello
I am having the Unlocked SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE (SGH-I896) of Canada Rogers Network. I am using the same from last December, 2010. As now the firmware of my phone is crashed and it is not even going in DOWNLOAD MODE or in RECOVERY MODE, by which I can repair my crashed firmware and also now my phone is not working.
My request to you is that can you tell me that if you can FLASH my SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE (SGH-I896) with the ROM of the mobile if you have with you, otherwise I will provide the Original Firmware Backup which I am having with me. So please tell me whether you can upgrade the firm with the ROM you have or mine.
Please help me to solve my number, as I am from India, now I cannot send my mobile to Canada back.
Thanks

Hmmm...this is a tough one, and I work with offshore resources on a daily basis. My guess is he unlocked his cappy, took it to India, tried to flash something, bricked it, and needs help restoring a rom file he has on his phone, or a rom from here.

PROBLEM: Galaxy Ace flashed with Korean ROM for SHW-M240S

Hi All, I have done something stupid and now my ACE is a little bit broken.
After flash procedure with ODIN and Korean rom for SHW-M240S, my IMEI was changed and on a main screen appears sw number. So phone is working but different IMEI persist and this stupid RED sw number on a wallpaper
I was flashing back my phone with a lot of different roms, reset to factory values and still the same. Maybe full recovery from CODEROM could help, the problem is that i don't make backup Hope to find kind user, who will make a clean backup and send it to me... I'm just a girl and probably this is real problem

Why were you flashing a Korean Firmware anyway? You might get away with flash european roms on india or south american aces. But the korean ace has a different feature set. I think you have to restore nv ram which stores the IMEI. Maybe someone with experience with the matter will be able to help.

Hey!
Maybe this can help out.

Still nothing, in Service Menu i have found menu "rebuild NV", so i did it but my IMEI are still corrupted.

Hey, iv got the same problem. Please help us! :-(
I was looking for similar files in European and Korean software... File amss, which is in MODEM tar archive looks suspicious... In all European roms this file has the same size, in Korean rom it's bigger. Maybe it overwrites something important in ACE?
Im trying everything and searching everywhere but still found nothing :-(
maybe someone advise if this helps https://opensource.samsung.com/reception/reception_main.do?method=reception_search&searchValue=S5830
Same here.
one solution is installing VillainRom, there is no sys info on display. interesting!

Guys very big problem[system force close]

Look guys in ram we have the android system works
in my case when the ram fulled the system remove some apps to clear some space in my case the system remove itself so the screen stopped and hanged and the system restart without anything on the screen(last thing you used is still on the screen without responding) then the look screen appears after 1-2 minutes and then it start reading the sd card and the sim card(as any restart operation)
so why the system remove itself???!!!
Please Help me!!!!!
if you have problem with RAM use AUTO MEMORY MANAGER in aggressive Mode,it works very well!
Anyway...what kind of Rom are you using,kernel, governor,... we need more information!
In fact i don't know but I will look for them now
*-* But in my previous phone when the ram fulled it colsed the another apps not the system itself!!!so why this one??
@hemo-ali: Please respond interdan question for better help.
I remember, that you have stock rom (version ?). In this cases help a factory reset. It isn't normal that the OB will reboot.
Another solution is to make a rom update via LG-Updater (see LGs P970 page).
And how navigation?
okay look to the attachment
about factory reset I don't think it will help also i don't like to do that
update ?? i will look to it but which page do you mean official??
navigation the version 5.7 works good but I didn't try it yet
thnx
Official LG-site: lge.com and browse to the OB, there you can download de update-tool. If I remember correct it will erase all your things (apps, private data etc.) Also make a backup with LG-suite (also aviable in lg´s page).
I remember, that in some countries, google dosen`t offer navigation!
Regards!
No another solution ??!!
Nothing what you want do.
Regards!
Ah I forgot to tell you
my friend also have the same mobile and the same problem it may caused by our firmware which used in our country KSA but I can't flash any other one because I want Arabic language

[Q] Help Please :)

Im EXTREMELY technologically challenged.
I used to use a Nokia e75 before getting the Galaxy Note (around 6 months ago)
I got it from the 'grey market' in the U.A.E (and it had rupees label on it).
I have a few problems that i need help with please.
1. Since i bought it from the 'grey market' (not an authorized dealer) it doesn't upgrade. Im still on Android 2.3.5. When i do a check for 'updates'… no update available is the message i get. Is that right? Can i do something about it?
2. Nokia used to have a 'suite' software that would automatically backup EVERYTHING on the phone, into a 'file' or folder. I have a macbook pro, is there something like that … that i could back up all the contents on my phone? (i tried Kies but it's limited and complicated for my pea brain!)
3. Just today, my speaker stopped working for audio files and messages. My ringer is audible but nothing compared to what it used to be. What do i do? There's no sound with games, messages and so on. The phone vibrates (and all sounds are audible via headphones).
4. Sometimes the keyboard crashes and then i have to restart the application that i was working with (namely whatsapp and messaging). Is there anything i can do to fix that?
That's all for now. I would REALLY appreciate any/all help that i can get, and PLEASE be as detailed as you can … as you would with an eight year old!
Thanks a bunch.
Sam.
p.s : if you're wondering what i am doing with these gadgets when i am so illiterate … perhaps a mid life crisis?
Lol dont worry your as old as you feel. Gray market whats that? Senior mart, or s-mart? Sorry couldnt help it.
Check your csc by getting imei, dial in dialer *#06#
Write that down and keep private.
Then dial *#272*imei#* you put the number you just wrote where it says imei.
Then check which csc is selected. This determines if you are upgradeable. The country that corresponds with this is, or should be what most people are talking about when an update is available
Now if its not available, check i.e sammobile.com firmware section.
Next to thisvif you really really want update just go to developers section here in forum and follow dr ketans thread. His tutorial is awesome!
Anyways dont ever wipe or factory reset on any ICS when you get there!

1. You can flash any rom via Odin, even newest 4.0.3 ICS - but you have to do it manually via PC. OTA update depends on region, your Note might come from one that has not received the update yet. If you need help with that send me a PM.
2. There is only Kies dedicated to Samsung devices. There are some 3rd party apps dedicated for Android in general, but they don't work very well. So i'd say - unfortunately - no.
3. That's common software bug. Enter recovery ( Volume up + home + power ) and select "Clear Cache". This has helped me fix that at least twice.
4. You can try installing ICS keyboard from the market, or any replacement keyboards like Swift etc. they usually work better than stock Samsung GB one.
Guys, i tried 'thanking your post' but it didn't work for some reason.
Baz77 - That was quite funny actually!
I tried doing that and before i could put in the final '*' a screen came up with a 'sales code'… which said 'INU'. Also it had what appeared to be initials of different countries below that i could select (UAE wasn't one of them!). It also had an 'install' and 'cancel' icons at the bottom. When i hit 'install' … nothing happened :s (help?)
Also you said if you really really want to… (i shouldn't upgrade? any problems with that? should i back up data or something before doing it? am i being paranoid with your usage of TWO really's?

1. Your first post was with so many abbreviations.. it sounded like 'chinese' to someone like me. I have no idea what those things mean. Could you please explain? Also, you mentioned PC… not with Mac?
2. okay .. kies it is.
3. I tried doing that .. and it took a 'screen capture of my phone' :s
4. Thanks.

Anyway dont change csc, installing another one will initiate a full wipe.
Also you said if you really really want to… (i shouldn't upgrade? any problems with that? should i back up data or something before doing it? am i being paranoid with your usage of TWO really's? Id recommend not to, due to battery issues and braking risk on ICS. But you can if you want to. Best case is to choose a csc rom that corresponds with the current csc. That way OTA and kies will be possible. Did you try Kies? You can get it from samsung.com it sucks but could help, cause not everyone gets ota, for weird reason.
