[Q] Is there a way? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a question for you guys, is there a way to flash to 2.3.3 but keep the nordic(swedish) swype in my phone? and if there is a way, how do i do that?
i dont seem to be able to find the right way to do it and i dont wanna flash the phone 200 times before i find a way or i just brake the phone

If your just installing swpye by itself to another rom your missing the libswypecore file....make sure you attached that too

No im not, im using the 3 files on samfirmware.com. But i remember when i flashed to 2.2 couple of months ago that i had to use another file just to be able to keep my swedish swype. but i dont remember wich file it was, if it was the
CSC, PDA or the PHONE file that i had to change to a nordic one.

The easiest way is to use Odin One Click to flash back to 2.1 then use Kies mini to update to 2.2
Use TiBu to back up files 1st.

You might want to read this.
That is the definitive guide to bricking. You will probably find all the answers you need to get yourself out of that soft brick and to get back to a place where you can get to 2.2.
In theory, according to the guide, as long as you still have the 2.3 bootloaders in place, you should be able to flash a 2.2 rom

Can someone verify this? I'm possibly thinking of flashing back to FF, and if I don't have to revert to the Froyo bootloaders it'll make my decision easier.

Yes, GB bootloaders work just fine on Froyo based rom. Just make sure you flash a froyo kernel first, get in recovery (don't boot the phone normally) and flash the 2.2 based rom you want (beside cognition as it flashes the sbl.bin)
Sent from my Mosaic powered I896 using Tapatalk
so if i Flash Serendipity will it still work after because i hard bricked my phone flashing GB -> Froyo roms and i ended up having to get an Rma phone
As long as the froyo rom does not flash a secondary boot loader, you should be fine.

Correct ... To check the rom for a secondary bootloader, open up the zip look in the updates folder if you see "sbl.bin" that would be the secondary bootloader. Don't flash that rom.
Well since infant use .bin files can I just delete that file form the Rom? Or will it get corrupted

Yes ... You might also have to go into the script "Meta-inf" and delete the lines about sbl.bin, not sure if it is in the script to flash it individually or just the update folder...but the only rom I know has it is cognition. But I'd still check every rom I was going to flash, better safe than sorry.
Sounds Like a lot of work but ill try

If you don't see it then it probably isn't there, I think only cognition has it, and dg(the dev of cog) might have taken it out because alot of people bricked because of it.

[GUIDE] Revert from a 2.3 rom back to 2.2 with cwm

ever wanted to flash back to froyo but didnt want to use the almighty odin? well here is a simple solution that should let u install froyo on a gb build without any errors
1.open the 2.2 rom you want to flash on the file explorer on your computer then click into the META-INF folder then com, google, android, and u will see the file updater script, delete that file (if u have problems getting that to delete use a program like winrar)
2.put the updater script u downloaded in replace of the old one (if winrar or any other program made u unzip the file and didnt zip it back up automaticlly make sure its done then place the file back to your phone and flash away

This is helpful, but you have to know why first. The difference is the difference in the install scripts. In CWM versions before CWM3, we used amend scripting. Amend scripting is no longer supported in CWM3 and above, it now uses edify scripting.
Kernels that contain recovery prior to CWM3, you can flash the old scripts just fine. For example, cmenards latest JVQ based kernel supports both amend and edify scripting, and is based off CWM 2.5.x.x.
Its all in knowing what you are running, and what's compatible.
I wont get too preachy on this, but Odin is your friend, nothing to be scared or wary of, and with regular use to actually set you back to stock, will create a much better running environment for your Vibrant experience. Shortcuts around it will eventually cause all kinds of issues.

Wondering
Has this worked for anyone?
The OP missed some key points in this "guide".
If your zip file is using is using the old amend scripting, then there will be one file called update-script (not updater).
The newer scripts, edify scripting, uses two files, update-binary and updater-script, and you need both files if your kernel or recovery method is cwm3 or later, edify scripting only.
Or you could save a dev a future headache, and just use Odin.

You're talking about his last deadhorse kernel. That one, if memory serves me, even has a pre-kernel flash that you did through sgs kernel flasher, then the rom and full kernel. Coming from that one friend, I do believe Odin is your only option.

Need URGENT help please

Hi guys.
It's 2 in the morning here in the U.K and I have to get up at 7:30, still racking my brain...
I wanted a standard ROM so I uninstalled root. I then did a factory reset, now my samsung keyboard just types as null null null...
I can only use ODIN now to flash, I have no CWM. I have no way of using Mobile ODIN either as I have no root.
What do I do? I have Baseband version N7000XXLRB. With Build Number IMM76D.XXLRG
I have gone on to the main rom page and just downloaded the first U.K one I saw. Is this okay? I'm running stock ICS and stock recovery.
Also when I open up standard recovery instead of the little green droid with the shape in his tummy, theres now a droid laying down with his tummy open with a little red warning triangle?
So the bottom line is, how can I fix it so that when I type it doesn't say null null null. I need my phone desperately and I need all the help I can get.
Thanks in advance.
Oli
Just try flashing the ROM again dude... if the problem persist, got rooted then install RootExplorer go to system/app folder and delete AxT9IME.odex file then flash the ROM again by Odin..

Nothing To Worry. Do this
Just Open PCOdin. Put your phone in Download Mode. Connect it to PC using USB Cable.Select the same rom file which you have on your phone now under CSC tab instead of PDA tab and flash. It will solve your problem

Root current and backup efs on multiple locations, note down original csc. That way you can always go back to original situation, plus you have a fallback in case efs gets corrupted from flashing different kinds of csc roms
Most dont say this, but it is the most valuable advice if you dont want to loose imei, service, warrantee, ota/kies updatability (when back on original csc roms), value when selling phone, etc

Hi there,
My best bet on the stock ROM your gonna use would be this one - > N7000XXLRK---4.0.4/12.07.24-N7000XEULP5, look and download it from here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 (courtesy of Doc Ketan)
There's instructions on that thread as well on how to flash the ROM.
EDIT: On the setup stage (after you've flash it), you will be prompted on which Language your going to use, Look for English (United Kingdom) and follow the steps from there (clicking 'Next' from thereon)
Thank you very much I will try this when I'm at my dads in an hour or so. I'll also thank your post

[Q] Please someone help me with SMS app problem

i guys, today i am using ICS 4.0.3(Claro BR) on my Note, the official firmware, rooted but never flashed any ROM(Don't wanna wipe) and this morning i was trying to install some modded SMS apps(I was really angry with automatic conversion to MMS on long texts). I used CWM and flashed an app without backing up the old one, the app doesn't work and i can't get the original back. Can someone please help me? (I am travelling and without acess to my computer at the moment)
I would be very grateful if someone with the stock ROM post their MMS.apk so i can try to i install it.

Unfortunately I don't have that saved...
You have a few options while on the road.
1. Download a third party MMS app from play store.
2. Reflash your ROM using mobile Odin
3. Download the 4.0.3 ROM. Extract the necessary file using root explorer. Place it in /system/app and set proper permissions.
Other things you can do too...but sounds like those would be easiest for you

Maybe you want to heed the following advice: Always make a Nand backup before you alter system apps/ files. If you have a Nand backup you can always restore your rom like it was before you did the modifications.

Yeah in es, you can locate the /system/app folder in the tar file.
Locate the appropriate file.
Copy it to your /system/app.
Next step is crucial- set proper permissions. Just do it the same as all other other files.
If you have problems you can always dirty flash the ROM
NOTE TO YOU AS A NEW USER. KNOW THAT STOCK ICS 4.0 KERNELS ARE UNSAFE AND IF YOU DO A FACTORY RESET YOU MAY KILL YOUR NEW PHONE. Please read the stickies on brick bug and you can install philz kernel to avoid issues.
And like other guy said...do nandroid backups...
