Get into bootloader and flash stock ROM, know you said can't use buttons but maybe camera and reset is
May be blind doing so but worth a shot.

is there any other ways guys??help please...i'm bored without using my tytn..

I've had a problem lately too where my screen will go white, while apps still seem to continue running.
Sometimes, just turning off the screen, then sliding it open will fix it. Other times I have to pull the battery.
As of yesterday, I can also no longer read any memory card in the phone. I think its time for a new phone. I just passed that 2 year expiration date.

man...still no answer yet..i have no idea what is going on with this phne..warranty also expired..any help guys???please....

I think the problem are the 2 screen connectors. You must open the screen part of the cover and tighten the conectors.
Good luck.

Phone restarts by its self after flashing fresh 2.1.1

ok first off i love the fresh roms so im not bashing.
does anyone else have an issue that seams to be directly related to flashing the new fresh 2.1.1 rom.
when im in a call and end it with the power button it restarts the phone.
is this because of what i think it is or something else.
i wiped everything when i flashed so i dont know what else it could be, in the mean time i guess i have to go back to fresh 1.1 sense i cant find a fresh 2.0d download link anymore and i deleted my nandroid and the 2.0d rom off my computer like an idiot. uneless someone could point me to a 2.0d link

probably should be in q&a or fresh's thread but here is a link all fresh's downloads are on geekfor.me should be at the bottom
http://geekfor.me/category/android21/page/2/

I found that the restarting issue on my end was linked to the battery stats and roation stats. After i wiped those, for some reason, i stopped restarting.

Can you elaborate on this? How do you wipe these stats?

i had the same problem but it was on fresh and damage control, i figured out it was the app i was using to call people with...called quick connect...
it didn't happen if i dailed with the stock dialer or through people...

Alright I did everything mentioned, above. i wiped the battery and rotation stats in ra recovery i even re partitioned my sd card and did a wipe data/factory reset plus the ext and dalvik-cache. then re flashed fresh 2.1.1.
also i am not using any other dialer that i know of. just the one that comes backed in the rom.
so why am i still resetting randomly!!! it even did it when i was doing nothing at all not just in a call like before.
this is on two seperate sprint htc heros that this is happening to.
anyone please help!

couple questions.
1. are you using any aggressive process killers, like the one found in spare parts?
2. what, exactly, do you mean by resetting? do you mean a quick 10 second restart of rosie, or a full on 1.5 minute reboot?

sorry i took so long to reply.
no process killers.
Im now able to replicate it restarting (not randomly) if i let the phone go to sleep by its self and sit for a minute when i hit the end button to wake it up nothing lights up like it should instead it does a full on 1.5 minute reboot every time.
on a separate thread someone suggested i try a different battery because whenever they put a different battery in it stopped resetting. (I was not able to try this yet because i don't have any spare batteries laying around)
I just find this hard to believe only a few people are having these problems and why no one seems to have a definitive answer.

This is kind of one of those bugs where I have to say it's something going on with your phone. Fresh Rom 2.1.1 has been downloaded over 4000 times. I restart mine constantly while testing things which means I am constantly duplicating your situation of restarting the phone, letting it sleep, and then turning it on via the power button, and I have never had this happen.
Please post a debug log of it happening and we'll see if we can figure out why your phone is doing it.

My sister had this issue even on stock 1.5. Rooted, added recovery still had it. Flashed 2.0d, still had it, went to recovery and wiped battery stats.
Haven't had it happen since. Now on 2.1.1 and all is well...go figure.

thank you for helping flipz, sorry for thinking it was something to do with your rom (foot in mouth). I now believe it a hardware issue related to any 2.1 fw.
This has happened to me on 2 different phones. Mine and my friends. Mine restarted "randomly" once i wiped the battery and rotation stats and it fixed mine. My friends on the other hand i could not get to stop restarting for the life of me. So i was forced to switch back to a 1.5 fw rom.
Point being it will take me a few days to get back over there and put a 2.1 fw back on it and get a debug log off of it. for now i can try using his battery in my phone and see if i have any issues. im crossing my fingers in hope i will so we can buy a new battery and see if it goes away for him.
in the mean time i can post a debug log for my phone but it probably wont do any good
i will try to post the results of the battery swap later today.
again thanx flipz i am confident with your help we can resolve this.

ok i thought i attached a error log but i guess its too big, so ill try zipping it and attaching it.

hero
I noticed reinserting the root file helped me also make sure your not using otwidhet or super pc unless u have a rom for it i use fresh toast 2.1 no problems quickquickquick

I kind of a noob, what do you mean reinserting the root file? i thought the root was the main directory not a file.
Also i dont know what "otwidhet" or "super pc" are, im assuming im not using them if they didnt come with the rom. right?

whoops, i forgot to post the results of swapping my battery with my fiends to see if i could single out a bad bad battery.
i didnt have any luck making my phone reset itself with his battery. One of these days im going to buy a couple new batteries put on in my friends hero and flash fresh 2.1.2 on it. Im also going to try using different radios on a hunch from a different thread i read.
i dont mean to waste anyones time im just busy and messing with phone is something i cant devote alot of time to especially sense i put a 1.5 fw rom on my friends phone and he no longer has any issues.
thanks for the patients in helping me guys.

ok im at a loss. i really need your guys help.
I put a 2.1fw on my buddies phone. put my battery in his phone let it go to sleep by itself and hit the end button to wake it up and it still does a reset. now i guess im not sure if it s a full on reset but it takes about a minute to reset.
so i put his battery in my phone and let it go to sleep and het the end button to wake it up and it also reset, now i did not clear the battery stats either and now after one time i can not get my phone with his battery to self reset for the life of me...???
no matter what bettery i try his phone will not stop resetting.
im posting an error log from his phone i got off adb using
adb bugreport > errorlog.txt
is that what im suppose to do? please help i would have been just fine with the 1.5fw on his phone but there was an audio issue that on some calls the person on the other end could not hear him.
does anyone know if the flipz audio fix will work for that or is that not a good ides?

Here is his error log, i hope this is what im suppose to post.
if anyone has any ideas about the audio fix for the 1.5fw that would be awesome cause now i gotta go back to that becasue i cant leave his phone with porblems.

Could it be that it is just Sense restarting and not the whole phone. Try using Fresh 2.1.2 with LauncherPro and see if you still have the problems. Make sure that you are not using the vanilla launcher in 2.1.1 as I had several instances where it caused instability.

Im still confused on what i have to do to get some help from the devs. i posted a error log like asked if i was suppse tp post something else could someone please tell me? this is getting extremely frustrating. am i the only one here???

[Q] USB Port Kaput , Internal SD card recognized as USB Storage, can't root.

Good day folks,
I am in a bucket of hot soup at the moment with my Galaxy S.
Firstly, my Micro USB port has decided to call it a day (I have tried the alcohol cleaning trick and all other "fixes" at this stage I am contemplating getting a new MicroUSB port and installing it) . At the moment the only thing it can do is charge the phone and so perhaps I should be grateful for small mercies.
However, No USB means download mode is now unavailable to me.
This also impacts rooting with a PC. A lack of root means I cannot update my gps.conf, I cannot install a custom recovery and I cannot install custom roms. I also cant back-up or re-install my apps using titanium. I also cant use googletalk 1.3+ wth voice and video calling.
Secondly, my Internal SD card is mounted by the system and recognised as "USB storage". I can still use most apps even though its mounted with the wrong name however certain apps looking for Internal SDcard cannot find my storage. So I need to somehow change that. How do I do that?
For an individual used to running custom roms and tweaking my device any which-way I please, I find my galaxy s very unattractive right now.
I got into this situation when I was coming from Jetpack and I was moving to Simplicity. Simplicity just would not boot. At this point my phone was stuck with no ROM and after sitting and fiddling for about 5 hours with a several micro usb cables and plugging and unplugging my phone odin recognised it for one last flash and i was able to get stock JVT on it. I lost Clockword Mod 3 and so now stuck with stock recovery and thats as good as having no recovery
I really dont want to buy a new phone till I can make a decision between Nexus Prime and Galaxy S3. Im a firm believer in as close as possible to a 2 year phone cycle and my galaxy s has just turned 1 year 3 months.
So if i can root this thing I have now and survive another 6-9 months I'll be a happy man.
Help? Suggestions?
Cheers guys

You say you got stock on it... Any particular reason that you cant give it in for repair? SGS is 2 year warranty as remember...
Also crazy idea, if it is possible, turn cf-root into a update.zip and get it signed LOL. Or check to see if you can use cyanogenmod, and work your way around from there?
Lastly which you should probably do first, another computer?? (or did i miss that?) Oh and check drivers, reinstall them.. (I dont know what fixes you have tried...i just know you've tried)

Really didnt know that about the warranty. Not practical for me as the country I bought it in is different to the country in which I reside. And Samsung Here wont support/honour the warranties from There yeah what a pain . When I bought the phone I semi-bricked it and had to ship it back and forth to the other country. At the time it was worth it because the shipping values were less than 25% the value of the phone. However now shipping would be almost 100% of the current value of the phone.

List of "fixes" include amongst others,
1) Different makes of micro-usb cables.
2) Different computers, 3 to be exact.
3) Cleaning the USB port , alcohol trick , scratching with a wire trick , tissue paper trick.
4) Driver un/re-install on all three machines.
5) Rebooting phone interspersed with varying combinations of cable, computer, cleaning steps all to no avail.
All in all, the ownership of this galaxy has been a bit of a pain because I got it within a week of its release and it turns out it was part of that notorious batch that had no 3BR hence the intial semi-bricking.

Nope, no can do, need root and need CWM. Has anyone ever wanted to root so badly in their life ?

Hey, did you find any solutions? I have the same problem and I can't find any answer to it... Please help

Try this method this worked for me once:
1. Remove battery, plug usb cable with other end connected to pc, insert battery and switch on. I expect you've selected the usb debugging

It is definitely a moisture problem. I managed to change the USB port and that didnt make a different but I also noticed that my board is starting to corode.
So i tried to cleaning the coroded bits gently with a piece of cloth soaked in alcohol and I had one last flash and so I finally managed to root and get clockwork mod.

After doing a lot of research I discovered that this galaxy s is very prone to moisture issues.
1) Its not well put together so moisture does tend to get into it.
2) Moisture from your hands
3) The daily heating and cooling effects of sun. Especially if you live in a humid environment. The moisture condenses internally in the device. I live 100m from the beach.
4) I also use my phone to monitor my regular cycling activies. I ride in the rain etc and although I have what I thought was a splashproof case for the phone, it still has been quite moistened.

Well given that you cant stop the corroding its only a matter of time before the phone eventually fails so I would recommend the following;
1) Stop storing any data on your internal card I now bought a 32GB sd card and I will just use that so if the phone fails I simply bin it and put the card in a new device.
2) Regularly back-up your device
3) Start saving for a new device
4) Get a new motherboard for the device
5) A scum-bag thing to do is hard reset it and sell it to someone who isnt aware of its data storage properties.

Thanks dude i tought it was the driver fault. Quite sad for my dad

Sliding won't work anymore

Hey guys,
I could need a bit of help! It's now the third time I'm having this problem, don't ask me why. I've got the feeling that I read the whole forum here, but didn't find anything similiar.
The 1st time I didn't change anything (ok, rooted it, but nothing else)
The 2nd time I overclocked it slightly (~850-900 MHz)
Now I'm using MIUI.
But back to the problem:
I'm unable to use the keyboard, every time I'm sliding open the keyboard (even when it's turned off), it "crashes". The screen stops working or it freezes, the only way to turn it off is taking out the battery.
However, the bigger problem comes now: I'm barely able to restart it. It tries booting, but is restarting all the time or the screen is just turning on (in some angles you see that it is turned on but it's black). After many retries, it starts working, sometimes the bootloop is running 15min or i have to manually restart it 10 times or more. The strange thing is that the keyboard works fine, nevertheless I have to choose between using it opened (taking it with me becomes difficult ) or closed...
...the main problem now is flashing a new Rom, I'm currently trying it through the android sdk and adb, but using the power-button + x is easier
I don't think that I can solve the problem, I sent the device two times back (warranty till may 2012), but maybe someone here knows a bit more. My guess is that one of the sensors is broken, or some parts of the display that should manage the sliding process...
Anyway, thanks for your attention!

[Q][SOLVED]Weird camera problem (image but unresponsive buttons), any ideas?

Hello to you all,
I've looked and couldn't find a similar thing happen to anyone else!
So, I have a X8 with locked bootloader and stock Ginger DX 29, and although it used to work fine, I now am experiencing this problem with my camera.
Basically, the camera button isn't recognized to launch the app from the homescreen for a start, and then if I do open it from the app drawer, I can see the image fine, but nothing works (accessing the settings, changing from camera to video, taking a picture, etc) and after a few second I get a Close app/Wait kind of dialogue and I'm back to square one.
this is annoying because I tried pushing older camera.apks that I knew worked with no problem, no change. I tried doing a factory reset, no luck, flashing gdx again from scratch (didn't try the SEUS reset because it's a pain to root again and all that, and gdx used to work fine) I've also checked that it wasn't a hardware problem by mapping the camera button to an action in snesoid and it worked fine.
I don't really know what to do from that point! I was thinking maybe it's got to do with my image folder on the sd card, or something like that since it's the only thing that stays there throughout the wipes? Anyone knows what could be at fault? It's annoying not able to use the camera!
Thank you in advance.

Re: [Q] Weird camera problem, any ideas?
Settings ,applications,manage applications,find camera.apk and wipe cache and data.
If it doesnt help,try to download a camera app from play store and see if it works.

so, wiping the data didn't work, however I did two things : download a third party app and renamed my DCIM folder to another name, and one of them worked!
I'm suspecting the second one because as I tried my original app again, everything worked as well...
It must have been write protected for some reason, and that's why my camera app would be stuck at the begining I guess...
I'll try to copy my files back in the new folder that was created and see if it happens again.
Thank you!

Re: [Q] Weird camera problem, any ideas?
nice to hear you solved it. :thumbup: please do indicate in the thread title that it's solved. it may help other users with a similar issue.

i'vw never really experienced that before... so i can't help. just a suggestion though, have you tried using a different sdcard? if it still persists, maybe you're right and it's a rom issue.
