This noob successfully rooted his Vibrant thanks to some key members here. Now I need your help for another matter. I installed Cyanogenmod 7 nightly and it worked! I did it this way: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/cyanogenmod-7-cm7-samsung-galaxy-s/
The only problems that I'm having now is:
1)ClockWorkModRecovery does not want to reboot so I can't install anything else to it, which brings me to
2)I can't install Google apps like the Market. I went through this procedure:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHgZNnHdrSA and it only took me so far. It came to the home screen and it said that the widget had a problem loading. I couldn't get it to reboot and install after that. Please help - once again.
3)Should I flash another base band version? I know you guys were telling me to get the UGKG3
Latest info on the phone:
Android version: 2.3.7
Baseband version: I9000XXJVK
Kernel version: 2.6.35.14-g7a2264a [email protected]#1
Mod version: Cyanogenmod-7-11162011-NIGHTLY-Galaxy S
Build number: GWK74
Please and thank you guys.
Update:
So I switched to the Stable version. I'm not sure if this was the right move, but help me out here. the only thing that's changed is:
Kernel version: 2.6.35.12-gdf10700 [email protected] #1
mod version: Cyanogenmod-7.1.0-Galaxy S
The only problem now is that the market app is there, but whenever I search and am about to download an app it has to force close because of unstable behaviour. So now I can't get any apps even though the market app is there...
So I tried Cyanogenmod 7 and even though it was blazingly fast and fun to play around with, I decided to go back to Stock gingerbread. Why mess with something that ain't broke, right? Regardless, it was a great learning experience and I encourage any wannabe enthusiast to try it out. I found out it wasn't for me and that's ok. Thanks to the guys here for your help. I'll try other things. Later.
hi ,
i have sgs from some months ago ,
before like 1 month ago , i update my phone from android 2.1 to 2.3
then i start have problem in my battry it is dont stay more than 12 hr ( if i dont use the phone ! )
i was think it maybe from my battry so i bought new one but same problem
i flash my phone back to 2.2 , but still have same problem for now
so what best thing i can do it for fix this problem ?
and im using offical rom from samsung not custom rom
hope i find answer , thx
I suggest you first to make a full wipe.
If you want to stay with original Samsung ROM that's the only way, or turn off wifi,data and google synch.
I think the best solution for you is to switch from stock Gingerbread to CM7 for example (just because ISC 4.0.3 is still in beta...)
Hope this help.
Cheers
Which Gingebread Version you had on your Phone? 2.3.3 has the Batterydrain Bug!
So maybe you had 2.3.3 on your phone. What Version you get with Kies now?
Actually, don't flash a custom rom (it'll void your warranty) and take to to samsung service, your phone may be faulty since that shouldn't happen.
yes i was using 2.3.3
but i went back to 2.2 now
but still have same problem
and idk what to do
Hi everybody.
I just bought my very first tablet- a GT p1000.
Now, in the past few days I've been watching vids about CM9, which I find extremely cool.
As I gather, it is nowhere near completed yet tho.
So, in the meantime, could you suggest some decent looking and 100% working rom for my tablet?
You gotta admit, this forum is not very search friendly.
I have official Froyo installed as of right now, which is not very nice.
Thanks in advance and sorry for bothering ya'll.
Cheers.
just go to the dev thread and see the most popular posts there.
I think Overcome 4.1 is most popular.
You can try Hyperdroid and Accudroid too. All are GB ROMs.
Hi, I'm a newbie as well. Flash mine with Overcome 4.1 and then Hyperdroid a few days later.
My suggestion as a newbie is to use overcome 4.1 if u don't want to use stock rom.
I use Hyperdroid coz using Overcome, I have wifi disconnecting on it's own same like when I use stock GB 2.3.3
PS: Should u choose to use Hyperdroid, mind u it's a very slim rom, many of the standard app is not installed by default. But you can always install the removed applications manually. Hyperdroid has a zip file containing all the standard removed applications.

Thanks both for the suggestions.
I checked both out already.
I also checked aestethic only personalisations via apps and themes and I have to say they're pretty nice too (might just do that while waiting for CM9 in a few weeks).
Is it true tho that official GB has wifi problems?
That's worrying, since I'll be using wifi most of the time.
Wifi issue is hit and miss.
Maybe it is wifi router dependant. Maybe 10%-20% has it.
I am fine using overcome 4.1 with 3 different wifi router.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
wifi issue was 100% caused by belkin router.
If you do have belkin router, see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441040&highlight=wifi
If you have different router, there shouldn´t be problems with wifi

Thanks for the info.
I have Netgear both at home & workplace.
Not a pressing matter after all anyway as I found out:
I managed to get a 3gb/month with no overlimit charge (only slower speed) for 5 euros/month. That'd should be plenty.
Pretty nice.
Sorry again, but what is the maximum size micro sd I could use on the P1000?
Is it 32 or 64gb?
Thanks.

Hi
Here is a good starting point http://www.teamovercome.net/p1000/?page_id=21 and you dont need to change the CWM it works fine.
Cheers
thanks for the reply ..
I'm downloading all the neccesary files on the link above, still waiting for completing ..
the problem is I never flash this gtab before so it not containing any cwm recovery yet , so if flash with overcome would it gives cwm recover to my gtab ?
just notice few things on the link above ;
1. it contain gingerbread rom , my gtab already on gb , should I still do this ?
2. it have No_wipe & Wipe versions , which one should I use ?
is this just to get cwm recovery ?

Hi,
If you flash the gingerbread safe and the overcome kernel as descript in the how to you will get CWM.
Cheers

I can't say, read the threads and take your favorite rom and flash that one first and try others as well before you setup your Phone to use it everyday so you will know what is available and works for you.
Cheers

I've successfully flashed it ..
Now I had CWM recovery on gtab ...

I know that samsung as announced that Galaxy s wont get an upgrade to 4.0 , I was just wondering does any of you tried running any 4.0 on a Galaxy S , Even if its a leaked or original , I was just wondering if it was running smooth and normal , Or if it will , I'm asking that because S2 will get the upgrade , So S1 should still be available to run it even if its not Officialy Aprouved.
What do you guys think ?
Try SLIM ICS. One of the best 4.0 ROM's
m
Do i need a rooted phone to upgrade to a custom 4.0 , because I cant seem to find a way to root the GT-i9000M ,

It is way, way better than Gingerbread. It doesn't lag at all from my experience. Upgrade now!
Hi All,
First i am a new comer for this community and new user for an android device .
I bought a new Samsung galaxy S Advance(GT-i9070). It came with Gingerbread. It was actually a phone with 768 RAM-I clearly verified this with the shop when I bought it. Last day I upgraded my phone to Jell bean with official Russian firmware (XXLPZ) and reset to factory default settings.
But now i am getting following issues on my phone.
It seems my devices is very slow and Stucks.Specially contacts,Media player,Messages. Also full RAM Capacity seems 521 MB at Application manager. All applications are now consuming memory from total 521 MB memory.Where is remaining memory? How can I obtain the remaining memory to speed my phone?
Mobile-networks---->Access point does not show any settings to setup APN to mobile network.
Some people on web says to root the phone , install ROM manager will solve these kind of problems. But i have called to shop and verified that rooting will void warranty.If i rooting is the solution ,Is there any possibilities to back it to Unroot when i need my warranty?
I saw there is a custom ROM also available to Jellybean 4.2.Is it possible to restore stock ROM later if i upgrade to Custom ROM?
What is /are ultimate solution/solutions all of my above problems.I hope all friends from this forum will guide me to sort this out
Thanks in advance
relax

1. Root + install custom kernel. It will fly. :laugh:
2. Never had need to look for access point setting.
3. On JB you will not increase binary counter with rooting, like on GB. You can remove all evidence by flashing JB over again. "SU" file that provide root will be wiped.
4. Yes, you can use custom ROM, and then go back to stock by flashing stock firmware with Odin.

I guess you do not realize that Samsung has launched three versions.
LPY 7th January 2013: A very bad rom.
LPZ 21st January 2013: A bad rom.
LQ4 7th February 2013: Very good version. Stable and perfectly functional for everyday use.
Consider LPY and LPZ as a big mistake. Should never have been released.

Yeah, only thing to check is that you didn't increased binary counter before. GB have method to root that increase it. But you can reset it now, there is Shaaans method in developer section of our phone forum.

It is not location related, you will get updates from country that your phone firmware is. So if you use Russian, the you will get update when it come for that country.

Yeah. Just when you want to go back do not just use your firmwear, first flash things from guide how to downgrade. You have it on general forum I think. And rooting JB do not increase binary, like it was early on GB untill that other method.

That is the case if yoh do not use custom kernel with custom recovery. If you do, do not do that. You will soft brick. And you will have to flash firmware with Odin anyway.

Yes, Root + install some custom kernel.
Hi above solutions are worked for me.But it still seems the phone is slow for me comparing with original gingerbread.May be it is because i got bad experience at first release of jellybean russian version. It is difficult to change first impression So i downgraded to original gingerbread.Ginger bread is very stable and running on more than 50% of devices in world.so i decited to use gingerbread for 6 month untill jellybean become stable
