Hi,
Have tried to read up few threads but none seems to have similar problems.
Had install MIUI 2.3.4 for Galaxy S - v1.5.27 rom successfully, running great and etc.
One issue, every time I reboot or power off/on the phone will go back to android welcome screen asking for gmail account set up and lose all settings.
Does anyone have similar experience that have found solution ? Great ROM, would like to keep. But it will be annoying to lose all settings every time I reboot or turn off my phone.
You guys advice would be kindly appreciated.

Hmm, this is pretty bad. You will definitively have to reflash. Did you follow the directions well? Most of these ROMs ask of you to flash a stock firmware before flashing with clockworkmod, so did you? Read up well on the instalation instructions and reflash. If the problem persists, then reflash another ROM.

Hello everybody.
I am having serious trouble with my phone and I was hoping some of you might be able to help me out.
I just bought my SGS 3 days ago. It came with android 2.1.1 eclair installed.
I had read that that version was not the best ( the first thing I saw when I opened the phone actually was an error screen, and the lag was horrible) so when I got home I decided to try and upgrade it using the official software for it (Kies).
Unfortunately Kies would simply disconnect my phone when I told it to upgrade, after which it would ask me to upgrade again >.>
So I decided to use Odin to flash one of the newer 2.2.1 versions.
I flashed a 'JS3' version with a repartition to 803 pit , but it crashed after rebooting with the dbdata error (which as I learned later was caused by not flashing a full firmware).
I flashed JPU after which worked great. It was fast and responsive.
However my phone kept crashing. Whether on standby, using apps, or just trying to dial a number, it would freeze, start vibrating, and sometime reset, other times just stay frozen until I force shut down it from the power button.
I flashed JS5 afterwards, with full cache clearing, factory reset etc. Still crashed.
Then I tried flashing Darky's 9.2 Ressurection. Loved it but I couldn't even set up my google account because it crashed constantly.
Then I went back to what I believe is the current official version for my location and carrier (Vodafone Romania), JP9 .
After flashing it didn't crash, but after a while (one night), it started crashing like crazy, even wound up with weird gray lines and a freeze in the morning.
I was hoping someone here might know what is wrong with it. I already sent it back to be serviced but I am thinking maybe I broke it somehow and would like to know how so I don't do it again.
The phone is network locked, which I later learned is usually a bad thing for flashing, unfortunately I didn't know about that when I started.
well first of you want to remove the network lock so try these:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913681
next step is to register on www.samfirmware.com (its free) and here is where you will get all the latest official firmwares from samsung..
what you want to do is download (XWJS5) with all 3 files and PIT and flash that through odin with RE-PARTITION..
Before you do that, put your phone into recovery mode (volume up + Home button + Power button ) and do a factory reset / wipe cache ect...
so when you have done that and flashed the new firmware. let me know what the outcome is..
another thing.. ALWAYS MAKE SURE KIES IS CLOSED.... EVEN IN THE ICON TRAY... AND MAKE SURE DRIVERS ARE UP TO DATE.
other than that you shouldn't have any problems
hi, thanks for the advice.
I already did most of that however. I did a factory reset numerous times, and I also did a full repartition flash more than once, to no avail.
I am waiting to get it back from warranty service now but I am wondering what went wrong.
Was it broken when I bought it or did I damage it somehow by trying to flash it while network locked ?
flashing with network lock wouldnt make everything force close. the worst thing that could happen when flashing with network lock is not picking up a signal and possible IMEI corruption.
i think you may have just flashed the wrong ROM, it happens to us all, but the more you do it the more experienced you become and you soon learn methods to restore things..
dont worry too much it will be fine when it comes back from samsung, just be sure to read up properly if you have any doubts.. or ask a question first you will get a reply quicker than you can Unbrick your phone..
My phone seems to hate the 803 pit file. Lots of force closes when I used it. Try using 512, see if that works any better.
I just performed a fresh installation of the MIUI RC5 on my i9000 and Have a few problems.
1. My network provider is not being recognized at all. (Even after a couple of restarts)
2. My IMEI is not being displayed. (Even after deleting the efs folder using Root Explorer.)
So please respond immediately as I wish to continue using this ROM.
Thanks in advance
you have to restore the efs backup that you should of made before the installation.
that will restore the IMEI and give you network coverage.
if you cant do that, re-flash the ROM, and if it still doesnt work, you will have to flash back to froyo with pit and repartition and start the whole process again.
Thx a lot dude. Trying it right now. Hope it works *fingers crossed* http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon11.gif
I tried to install MIUI through Rom manager and now the phone just flashes SAMSUNG but never boots up. I have Infuse-rooted-CWM installed. Please HELP
Thanks
Galnet MIUI v4.0
WIFI Sleep policy does not seem to work. It is set to sleep when screen is turn off, but it never turn off. This is draining up the phone battery. Any one any idea?

So you have the Samsung Infuse? Because this is the Galaxy S forums and I don't think Miui is even available on the Infuse so no wonder it isn't working(and the way you installed it isn't the correct procedure anyway). You can probably install a fresh official rom for your phone some how through odin but I'm not familiar with the Infuse. Best to go to the Infuse forums and ask. Hope this helps

hi!
i have problems with my MMS. i cant send my MMS messeage..only recieve..
anybody help ?
Hi folks,
I can't post in the dev section so I'm hoping someone can answer here instead. Searched imilka's thread but couldn't find anything that helped me. Wipe & reflash has worked for others but not me.
Wifi doesn't work for me. It worked when I activated it in the setup wizard after flashing the rom but after the first reboot it doesn't present me with any networks and it doesn't connect to the one I configured. I know the wifi device works because the mac address is identified in the status menu.
Also, battery time isn't very good. Less than half remains after being fully charged then left alone over night.
I have tried a full wipe & re-flash and also flashed the last version released yesterday. Does anyone have any tips or do I just wait for a new version? Seems weird that it works for everyone else.

Indeed, I didn't come accross any of these problems... I don't know what to say mate, might have something to do from whatever ROM you came from, some kernel remnants...but again, that's just guessing...
What I'd do in a situation like this would be to revert to a stock GB, use jBroid's kernel cleaner, and then try to reflash Chainfire's repack and back to CM. That's just what I'd do...
I'd try to do a factory reset first. That way you'll get another chance to setup your WiFi from scratch and see what transpires. If it fails, it's back to basics, most probably. Rooted GB --> ICS Repack --> CM9.
It's such a hassle to reinstall everything again.
I'm downloading a stock rom now and I'm going to try flashing the modem partition. Perhaps the modem in the chainfire repack I flashed before is not 100% compatible with my phone... Otherwise I'll just have to stick to mobile data.
Flashing modem made no difference so it's something with the ROM. Luckily I have a good data plan so I'll just leave it and see what happens in the versions to come. If anyone has an idea, feel free to let me know.
And thanks for your answers guys.
Suddenly it all works. Thank you Google. You're swell!
Hi guys,
i have been using Krarvind's Slim ICS 3.5 for about 10 days and I absolutely loved it. I have just updated to 3.6 which caused my phone to bootloop
So, after an hour or so of labouring and trying to work my way back in to it i'm now back on 3.5, but I have absolutely no signal/3G coverage. Wi-Fi works no problems, just no signal!
I went in to the APNs and there is nothing there - I tried to save a new APN and it wont let me - has anyone encountered this before?
Thanks in advance
Haven't experienced this myself but a few things come to mind...
First would be to check if you imei number correct? If not you would need to restore this from a backup.
If IMEI number appears correct then I would try flashing the modem again or a different modem. Modems found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783
If this doesn't work you can try flashing 3.5 base and essentials again.
If that doesn't work search the threads and google or hope someone else can give you an answer. If you don't find any help then as a last resort you can flash a stock rom with Odin although I'm sure there must be an easier way.

I've had a similar problem, the updating to 3.6 just went wrong. No bootloop but loads of FC.
My solution has been going back to recovery, do a full wipe (wipe data/restore factory settings) and install 3.6 again. Everything seems to work now but I have to re-install and configure all my apps... :-(
Hope it helps...
Check in About > Phone
Under baseband does it say UNKNOWN ?
this happened to me once, need to reflash the modem. No need for wipes etc

you could try wiping your dalvic and cache just and reflash the rom if you dont get any other solution
Thanks a lot. I reflashed ROM and now the problem seems solved. But issue now is that it is taking time to connect to 3g netwrok and I need to struggle a lot a connect( switch on/off airplane mode, installed 3g manager, reset settings). Is there any solution for this
Thanks
