Hi guys, I'm new to this forum cause I'm using htc. I bought recently sgs for my girlfriend trying to convince that iPhone is not that great. I've updated to gingerbread threw kies and it started to reboot and freeze by itself. Is there any way to solve this problem or shall I flash a different software. I need sgs users opinion which firmware is the most stable or how to solve the reboot thing
Thanks a lot

Personally I was a noob on SGS cause I was on HTC too.. If you go on to youtube, theres a guy called 'androidgalaxys' on his videos he shows how to update to 2.3.4 its the official update too and that is very very stable and very fast. The file you download uses odin to flash.. He talks you through it. I hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for your help. Maybe you know what is causing those random reboots and freezes as far as I know people have them on many different firmwares. But if you recommend I'll try it.

Mind at least telling us what the heck you did before this happened?
It would REALLY help us in diagonising your problem, you know.
heh i suppose it would wouldnt it!
I installed the battery icon mod..

How did you try odin? I think that should have done the job.

Have you downloaded an official ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
not yet, im not sure where to get it from! lol
i only had the phone like a month or 2, and i broke it but got it replaced under the warrenty lol
so where can i get a offical rom from?
There are lot of ROMs on samfirmware.com and guides on how to flash them. You need an account though.
Have you even flashed a ROM before?

i have flashed rom on a HTC Hero before, which was my old phone, but not on this phone, dunno how different its gonna be!

Check samfirmware.com, it will help you (a lot).

thanks muchly, i will check back soon when i have attempted to flash it!
madkid21
BTW, you could also check Doc's ROM if you want to use custom rom. I personally use it and its great. It has also some good guides compiled on the first post. I strongly suggest you read the Doc-Froyo.pdf guide in that thread.
Good luck!

(yes i meant xxkb3) i reflashed my phone but it didn't solve it !
None of us have SOD problem with this FW. May be u can just try with your original stock FW, if available for flash.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA Premium App
Flash twice just to be on the safe side.
And yeah, As Tripin said, No one's received this SOD issue in XXKB3. Unless you said XXKp9, then i can vouch.
my xxkb3 has shut itself off before, maybe happens about once a month or so..
It is not SOD (where phone appears to be off) -- but really off -- from doing research a while back, I discovered that it is known issue on 2.2.
For me it is minor annoyance -- no more.
okéé i think i'm gonna wait for the gingerbread rom !!
Tell what's the problem if the device always reboot?thanks

I recently tried to bring my G1 back from the grave but, unfortunately it seems to not resurrect. I upgraded to the GB and since then I have not been able to use my Touch Interface! It will boot, it will get to the "Touch Android", but i only can use my trackpad to select options.
i know i hate this, ive had a few g1s like this and it is so annoying that you cant just highlight with trackball! when this happens i replace the digitizer and its fixed.
if anyone else has a good idea how to skip this, other then deleting the start up wizard from the rom of choice id love to know
So you think its the digitizer?. I think its the kernal that I have flashed I had two G1s' flashed the sameRom on both and the same incident! Any takers on this?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
so you are saying everyone who flashed the same rom as you now has a useless touchscreen? i kinda doubt it, maybe im wrong here but i cant imagine a kernel causing the digitizer to stop working when the rest of the rom is fine. there are easy ways of testing your theory you know...
Like? Let me guess install a different Rom and kernal?

I´m in need of big help, i was rooting my device with smart flash tool and it all went well until the phone rebots and appears the message "security error" under the LG logo. What do i do?
Please help, it´s an emergency.
You can see alot of questions here with that security error issue. Just download a kdz of a gb rom and extract it. Then flash with sft

And will that make the phone usable again? Another question, why did that apear? My phone is locked to a company, and the ics rom that i was using was the original but for unlocked phones, it´s that the problem? Do i need to use the rom for the locked phones to be able to root it to ics?
It will. Aslong as you can go to s/w download. I dont get what you just said cause im no expert. i rooted my phone wth stock ics with unlockroot.com . but i have the ku5900.

My phone it´s locked to a company,(like at&t, vodafone, etc etc), and i was using the stock rom from lg (v30b), but for my country that version is only avaliable for unlocked phones, and i was using it.
Then you did something wrong maybe. I had that security error when i tried to flash cwm with ics.
