[Q] Problem with android market

hi guys im currently on the darky's v9.0.2. extreme edition custom rom for my galaxy s im having some problems downloading off the android market. basically i can browse all the files as normal but when i go to download them it shows that im downloading for about 2 seconds then just disappears off the screen?? does anyone know how i can fix this or know of a better or equal alternative to the market? i know of appbrain but i can even download that off the market either.
cheer in advance!
Darky problem ask Darky or search market fix .
jje
go into sgs tools, and go in to upgrade stock apps then select market fix that ought to do it
cheers guys for the quick response. i dont have sgs tools on this custom rom is there any way of getting this file such as a apk file to copy into my phone?
you should be able to find it in darky's app in market.
oops (you can't download from market). it should be in darkys' thread then.
APK here copy to sd card and install .

well i installed the up to date sgs tools and done the market fix and upgrade stock apps and no luck with it. still the same problem of the download starting then dissapearing. any more ideas guys?? oh ive also tried a different custom rom called insanity and still had the exact same problem.
Dump that rom do a clean install see if it comes back and if you want to upgrade get a service that does not have thousands of broken phones in its wake .
Via ODIN

Then if it works Build a ROM .

Gingerbread update problem

Hello everyone! my sgs is having problems with the gingerbread update, first I tried to update through kies but the phone wouldnt connect so I just used odin to flash it as recommended by someone in another forum, anyway now I cant open most of my apps, I cant open the market, I cant root the phone etc. what is wrong? please help, thanks.
How about a factory reset after flashing, to see if it works afterwards?

I did that a couple of days ago but there was no change then. I think its starting to work better now, strangely the market is working fine now all of a sudden, some apps too not all of them, what did I do right?

fw 2.3.3, and I'm not sure what is a bootloader?
Another forum good advice they give . Follow our instructions then ask someone else to fix it .Would not be sure as to proper instructions given .
You can only update via Kies if their is a firmware for your product code on the server .
If it works ok leave it but if not then you would be best to wait for release of Gingerbread or use the flashing Gingerbread methods posted on this forum and reflash .

Superoneclick

Hi could someone tell me why superoneclick stops at step 6 and then freezes?
Been trying to root my SGS for ages but i am having no luck
Regards Anthony
maybe im wrong but i think it has to do with the version of andriod is on your phone. i've tried this once after i accidentally updated android to another version and i wanted my phone rooted again.
Fixed
All sorted now thanks, the problem was is that i had gingerbread 2.3.5 on and superoneclick doesnt work with that so i had to use an alternative method.
All good now and thaks for the help

[Q] Galaxy S I9000 Official Roms

Hi guys, i'm looking for the official rom for Samsung galaxy S I9000, my carriere is Bell Canada, I don't really care what version it is I'm gonna update it to the latest version using Kies.
You can download from samfirmware
I have been looking for a rom and a tutorial for 4 hour, tried 2 but kies keep telling me that my phone can`t b upgraded by kies. If anyone has a working tutorial For SGS I9000 (Bell CA) please tell me

Before any rom upgrade (out of kies) you must be operator free... Well, that's what I understood when I first flashed my SGS1.
You shouldn't stick with stock roms (my opinion), custom roms, in my experience ( which it's not much ahah) are always better because it's made by costumers that want their phone with their full power without restritions. Well, at first I was like you, a bit apreensive, now I have Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.3) and I dont want to go back! Its awsome. But you should read a bit more about everything.
Try reinstall kies, maybe there is a new version or your phone is in the latest firmware...

I think better you try to use Odin rather than using Kies to flash the rom.it more user friendly and straight forward.
The only official gingerbread version for Bell Canada is UGKG3 (2.3.3) that came out in the summer of 2011.
If Kies says your phone can't be updated, you must have quite an old version of Android installed.
Well i am with ICS 4.0.3 but i really wanted to go back with official roms to get update via kies to try something with Bell TV, but that just optional, i tried some roms, but kies was not detecting em. so i went back to ICS (but it's really unstable imo)

Since you've already gone to ICS, you may as well just download the UGKG3 ROM and flash that with Odin and forget about Kies.
If you want Kies to get you to a Bell ROM, you'd have to go back to Bell's Froyo release (again using Odin) and then let Kies update that to UGKG3.

i9000M Soft keys not working after fw update

So I was trying to root my i9000m and I read a forum post that advised me to update the soft key fw before doing so... little did I know I was on a custom fw already so it broke my soft key functionality. I've read a few posts that have instructions to fix the problem, by rooting the stock fw for the model and updating soft key fw before rooting again. problem is my phone was originally on FROYO and I can't locate the original file anywhere. can anybody point me to a file dl for the stock fw, or maybe someone has the file on their computer they would be willing to share? it's a bit frustrating not having the keys to go back, and i can't use certain apps due to not having a menu key..
If you don't find what you are looking for, try updating to a custom ROM that includes a Navigation Bar, as shown in the attached pic.
What's the ROM in the screenshot?
It's SlimBean 3.1 = Jelly Bean 4.1.2
With this ROM you can have up to 5 soft keys in the Navigation Bar.
This way you could care less about the phone's soft keys.
There are sites such as this one where you can find official Samsung roms
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9000M&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware
If you did manage to root your phone, you could also try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832638
Thanks nyloncrack, I didn't know that there were roms that included a nav bar! I will try that, and Marshian I've gotten the firmwares from sammobile but apparently my original firmware for the i9000m (Canada) was 2.2.1, which I have found, but apparently not found the proper version of the rom that came stock with my phone. I believe it was 2.2.1 froyo. I am currently running 2.2.1 froyo.xwjsd which seems to not be the correct version.
There's a thread here with a couple of roms for the I9000m, other than that I'm afraid I can't really be of any use to you. Good luck though!

I got the jl2 rom and reflashed and it worked! I downloaded UGJL2/UGJL2/BMCJL2/Sbl (MultiCSC): reflashed with pda, phone, and csc checked and then updated the touchkey firmware and voila! I got them from the same link you posted, just before you posted it, bang on Marshian!
It was actually really simple once I wrapped my head around it, now I just need to update to a newer, faster custom rom! now let's see if I can't get this rooted and unlocked again without messing it up . any suggestions for a good, bug free rom? I haven't looked into it too much yet but i hear ice cream sandwich and jellybean are recommended for my device?

Good to hear!
I've got the I9001 so I don't really know what kind of roms are available for you, but in my experience for my own phone ICS is currently the best trade-off in features and stability. JB is still quite new and not fully ported yet, while ICS is nearly bug-free. It could be different for your model, that's just my two cents. Either way, as long as you don't brick your phone you could always try out a couple of roms and see what you like best. The only downside is changing a major version requires a full wipe.
I used this to go from gb to ics.
[HOWTO] Flashing CWRecovery to i9000m & upgrade to ICS AOSP 4.x ROM from any version
This way your i9000m becomes a i9000 for searching out new ROMs.
For whichever ROMs (ICS or JB) you'll always need to flash the KG3 modem.

I've tried using that guide before but the JVP link is invalid. i did a quick google search am i just looking for Gingerbread? because I have a file already on my computer titled "CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS.tar"
Yes, that will work.
Looking at my notes from back then I actually also used:
CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVT-v4.3-CWM3RFS, and
CF-Root-XX-_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS
They were just later versions of GB.
JVU was Samsung's appeasement to i9000 users when they were told ICS wasn't coming. Had a couple of ICS features; window dressing.
Remember to make a full backup before touching anything this time
I've been trying for hours but I cannot for the life of me get windows to recognize the device in download mode. It was working fine until i updated the rom, then intermittently, then i updated the rom again and it has stopped working. i've uninstalled the drivers, tried with debugging on and off, restarted windows, installed the newest version of kies, bought a new usb cable, to no avail. this is maddening. is there a better alternative to do this on my mac? I'm using a virtual system running windows but I'm positive that isn't the problem, since it was working great before on vmware, and parallels. any ideas? I'm about a half hour away from selling this device and going back to the iphone haha.
so basically my question now is how do I downgrade back to the original firmware, so I can put this nightmare behind me? I had it unlocked and rooted on gingerbread before... don't ask me how it took many many hours. now the device isn't even being recognized in kies. If I don't get this figured out soon i'm flipping this b*tch for an iphone 4, because I do appreciate the one touch jb/unlock. I've literally wasted days of my life trying to figure this out and it doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere. too bad because I really appreciate the android system and all its capabilities but I don't have the time to waste on stuff like this
Another Edit! So, after fussing and fiddling, I decided to try one more time, I swear, I was actually going to give up at this point if it hadn't worked. so basically I removed kies, loaded the driver i was using, which was 1.3.450.0 and it didn't work, so I loaded 1.5.5.0 and it connected! My guess is that after updating the rom the driver was outdated, but I figured kies would give me the most up to date driver, seems it didn't oh well, I'm almost afraid to load ics since I've worked so hard and wasted so much time up to this point, but i've come this far...
one more edit, the kg3 modem kept crashing odin on me so I had to stick with the jl2 that was flashed earlier.. which doesn't give me network access, I'll try to find another file but is there any reason odin should be crashing like that due to this particular file?
hahaha, shouldn't speak too soon, jl2 works after reboot, should I update my modem firmware now, and what is recommended for my system {2.3.4} kernel {2.6.35.7} and if i flash to ics will I need kg3? Thanks for all the help with this seemingly never ending process
