[Q] GPS doesnt work

I can't get gps lock in any app on my tattoo, It doesnt even show the gps icon in notification bar. I have tried to reset the phone to factory settings, to wipe everyting and install rom again(1.6 ROM) and nothing helped. It works only with 2.x ROMs but that doesnt work for me becouse I need camera. I have tried almost every 1.6 ROM and non worked but it worked with every Eclair And Froyo ROM. Does anyone know what may be the problem. Sory for my english

Did you flash the stock ROM and unroot?

these two threads helped me:

I had the same problem and solved flashing SP-FroYo ROM, booting and then flashing again the nandroid recovery i had on the sdcard (but should work with any other 1.6 rom).
I don't know why it works anyway

Read the first red line, it's your last resort.

ok i'll try to unroot and flash stock rom. i hope it will help

where can i download stock rom. i cant find anything on google

Google for "shipped roms". I would give you the direct link but I'm on a reaaaaaly slow connection at the moment.

ok thanks.

Confirm, u have to flash stock rom and then re-root and re-install recovery rom, than u have to flash the rom you want to use, and your gps will come back from hell, working again for you

yes you did use the wrong one, try following one
RUU_Click_HTC_WWE_1.67.405.6_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
The one you have tried has previous bootloader than most of our tattoo's and you can not go back
Bit irrelevant for you but some one actually claimed that version you tried to install had S-off Radio

it worked
thanks for help everyone

[Q] problems when trying to make a recovery image/backup current rom on CWM.

ok, i have searched and have seen 1 other thread like this with the same problem, but its in the Facinate forum, so i dont know if what was aid on there applys to the Galaxy s. but basically, when i go to back up my current rom, it comes up with a message like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
what was said in the fascinate forum is that i need to flash CWM with odin for it to work properly. is this correct? and if so, how do i go about it?
thanks and sorry for being a dumbass if this is stupidly obvious.
Oliver
P.S im using hardcore's speedmod k12h 500hz kernal if that makes any difference to anything.
EDIT, this problem is now sorted....

bump, can anyone shed some light?

Install CWM first as per instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734166

I was doing it with Rom manager before, sorry i forgot to say, i have tried the process which is mentioned on the thread you suggested and have just tried it again, still no joy and its coming up with that screen in the first post. Could it be something to do with the kernal i am using?
Oliver

Bump!!!! please, anybody got any ideas... would flashing a new kernal be of any help?

so i havemade a backup using nandroid, seen as it wasnt working through rom manager. i just need to know what files should be within it for it to have backed up my rom... or should i just trust that it should be there.

Hi, if i was you i would download titanium backup, the free version is all you need, then you can create a full backup of all your system data and apps and even app data so ur settings dont change... it will take about 5 - 10 mins. then when you have flashed a new rom or what ever it is your doing, just re-apply titanium backup and let that do all the work..

yeah, i understand that. but i mean to be able to restore my stock rom if i need to? because im preeeeety sure that titanium dosent do that? (if this sounds sarcistic it isnt meant to be)

well there is an option to back everything up into a ROM but ive never used it so i dont know, besides if your changing to a new ROM and you dont like it, just download and flash back to your current ROM it only takes two ticks via clockworkMod.

but clockwork mod isnt letting me do it (make a recovery image), if you see the top of thread...

yes but you dont need a recovery image, you can flash back to your current firmware if you dont like the new one. all the system apps ect are built in to the ROM, so all you need to back up is your apps and things, which titanium backup can do

ok, i am officially confused, as i dont see how i can do that without a recovery image to reflash...

[Q] Bought a new Vibrant with custom ROM

Hey there - I just bought my wife a used Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (I9000M) and it came with a custom rom / cwm recovery already installed - now I'd keep it as it seems to work ok, but since it's for my Wife, I'd rather just return it to stock as she doesn't need all the custom rom enhancements I don't think.
What i'd like to do is return it to a stock Samsung ROM - or at least something really close to stock. (Something that has all the stock Samsung apps maybe?) I'm not familiar at all with the rom that's on there so it may be the best one available, I have no idea. This is my Wife's first Android phone and I'd rather not turn her off of it because of some custom roms issues.
My problem is that I'm not sure how to go back. I've read a bunch of articles on here and I just got confused since there are so many different modems and regions, or whatever. I'm not a total noob with custom roms, I've put dozens on my Dell Streak, but the Samsung seems to be a bit more complicated (to me at least). If someone could help me by listing the steps required to go back to stock or if they can recommend an optimized stock rom, something like that, I'd really appreciate it.
Here's what I have on there now...

and there you have to pick the file with UGJL2 firmware, download, doubleclick to extract it and then just follow the instructions in the thread fireburn postet.have fun

I run doc 9.9.5 myself, JS8 2.2.1 is a better ROM than JL2 2.2 and the speedmod kernel is also better than stock...but whatever.
I have all the Samsung stock apps on mine (not the Bell ones, don't really need them unless you pay a ton for mobile TV), but whoever cooked that one up might have left them off.

Thanks a lot folks! I might just look at possibly cooking another rom that has all the standard apps in it.
I did notice something that doesn't work in my current ROM, when I connect the USB cable, the option to mount the sd memory as a mass storage device isn't available. Does anyone else have that issue (or have you seen it before)? Do you think cooking a new ROM up in the kitchen would resolve that or do I have to go back to stock for that feature?
Thanks,
Steve

Go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB settings
Don't know what setting it could be on now but change it to 'mass storage'

[Q] Can anybody tell me what region my phone is

I believe it is N7000XXLP1... but I cant find any GB for that baseband.
I am very new at this maybe I am not looking the right thing.
Please help me I need to use my phone again

What country are you in? It really doesn't matter necessarily what you download. I'm in the United States so of course I'm not going to have one for the international note so I just used Open Germany.

I Am in Canada
You mean I can use any of the downloads it will work?
I was thinking that I absolutely need to download the same as my baseband
I am just affraid to screw up

Yeah. The baseband is totally separate. That's your modem and you just have to find one that works best for you, but its separate from the ROM.

I think i am confused, that mean I could install a different modem (Phone button in ODIN) ?
Where can I get these ? peraps thats my only problem in ICS, everything is fine except the sound of the phone. Maybe I should try a different Modem before going back to GB?

Sorry, I'm confusing you.
Okay for the ROM itself: Put the file in the PDA section in Odin.
For a baseband/modem: there is a thread in the android development section with all the modems. You can download the zip and flash it in CWM. A GB modem CAN work in ICS and vice versa. I'm using LPT but it affects people differently depending on where you are.

Thank you
Thank you for your help Andrew . you put me on the right track. I have now a working ICS on My note and everything works perfectly, even calls

Rooting Samsung i9000 DXJPA and installing Cyanogenmod using Heimdall

Hi all,
I want to root my Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 and install Cyanogenmod 9 on it.
I'm using a Mac and will be using Heimdall.
The problem is I don't know where I can find the correct version of Clockworkmod for my phone. Can anyone point me in the right direction? My phone details are below:

Also, is installing CWM actually rooting my phone or do I need to do something else?
Thanks!

If I do update to 2.3.6, how does that get me closer to rooting my phone?

Yes, because you need the gingerbread bootloaders to install CMx anyway. So do this.
1. Upgrade to 2.3.x with kies or Heimdall. Doesn't matter.
1a. Put the appropriate cm9 files in your SD card. (Gapps, ROM)
2. Flash semaphore or devil kernel .tar files under pda in Odin. Not sure about heimdall sorry!
Note: Please note that recovery is packaged with the kernel on this ROM, so flashing a kernel changes your cwm as well.
3. Now, you phone won't boot, no big deal. All we need is the recovery. Reboot into recovery and flash the cm9 file.
4. Now wipe data / factory reset
5. Reboot, Rejoice, enjoy
