Hello guys, good day,
I'm from Philiphines and had a problem with my phone. The problem is that i entered so many unlock pattern error and what i did is flashing it using Odin v3 1.85 with the firmware version 2.3.6. After flashing the firmware the internal memory of my phone became 5.78GB. As far as my memory is concern, the character that i saw was 14.xx GB (xx means something that i don't remember the exact numbers). My question is, what should i do to make it 14.xxGB again? I got this phone from my aunt so i'm not really familiar yet with the phone. I tried already flashing it with XTC version file witch i believe a firmware that can be use in the Philippines. And also when i use facebook app or viber, it runs so slow. How to make it run or process faster?
Really need some help here.
Have you tried clearing cache and factory reset? The reset will erase all personal data as well so back that up first. Once reset you should be back to original.

Hello! Yesterday, for the first time of my life, I flashed an android phone, my sgs! Now, the thing is, I really wanted to flash because from kies I couldn't see the last samsung update, I had I9000XWJFD and it said "updated firmware, no more updates" or something like that. And I really wanted the I9000XWJM5. So I decided to flash it using Odin.
What I did was at first flashing just the PDA, without modem and csc. Then I put the samset rom, but I had lots of problems. Also I thought all my programs would be gone, instead they were all there (cool). But the market wasn't working properly and the wifi either. So I reflashed with the option "repartition" in Odin. Lots of problems again.
Finally, after some tries, I was able to have a stable phone flashing the pda and modem files and NO csc (without the repartition option this time). Before that I did the "factory reset" and "cache reset" things in recovery mode and after flashing I restored everything thanks to my precedent titanium backup.
Now to the problem: the phone is working perfectly now, I also did the 1click fixlag patch and it's really flying now...but...when I go to the phone and write "*#1234#" to see my firmwares, it shows:
PDA: *BLANK*
PHONE: I9000XXJM3
CSC: *BLANK*
Now...is this normal? Is this bad? How can I fix it? It was like this everytime I flashed, sometimes all 3 blanks, sometimes I could see the phone part...
Sorry if it seems a stupid question, but before flashing it was normal and now I can't find a way to flash it and show everything again...
if everything else works well, why do you care?
normally you should flash all files pda, modem & csc but it should work in most cases without modem&csc ...
Well, I care because it seems like the flash went wrong...but maybe it's just my anxiety! If someone else has the same problem, let me know!
Hi forum
I have a very unusual problem with SGS. Well, from the beginning.
My mobile operator, has given me the SGS (with Android 2.2).
So I decided to upgrade to version 2.2.1, possibly Cyanomod / draky's. I plugged the phone to the PC and step by step according to the tutorial:
- downloaded Odin3 1.7
- pitting 512
- Keis with drivers
- And of course the latest 2.2.1 I9000XWJS3
Fleshed this soft thanks odin. Telephone, everything installed, Odin wrote "PASS" and there was a reboot. There was a samsung logo and then black screen and light vibration from time to time. Zero response.
I learned about the "Recovery Mode " did reset the cache, etc. Reboot ... NOTHING. So stweirdziłem that you need to return to the previous firmware ... Now all my flash's finished in the same way: a black screen and a slight vibration.
I tried reaaaaly a lot of versions and nothing. I tried it once cyanonmod, darky's mod. And nothing. Somewhere on this forum, I found versions: Froyo (2.2) That does not bricks. Worked.
But, this is the ONLY version that can be installed and running.
But it is not so big problem. The problem arises when I put the SIM card. Phone lying on the table (in a place where I always had coverage in other phones) to lose coverage. To one or zero bars. Neither I can not get anywhere else, nor to call me you can not reach you.
But when I stretch out my SIM card, coverage remains. At least in the form of dashes. Of course, nowhere is this possible calling, but the phone displays one or sometimes four lines.
My question:
Could this be the fault of soft? What should I do if I can not change it? Return to factory settings is not possible because they get a black screen and a slight vibration. I have tried:
- changing soft to 2.2.1
- 3 button recovery
- flashed with the kernel
- w8 for over an hour! to give SGS time to install everything right
- reupdating soft for hundreds ways
- read all FAQs on forums...
I didn't "root"
althou I tried to ":update.zip" in recovery mode but it gives only new errors.
Anyone have any idea? Or I am doomed for Samsung service?
thx
And how about getting back to factory soft. I mean, the soft that come to me with the new phone?
Or these soft has been overwritten by the all flashe's I tried to install, and is unbeckupable?
maybe this will solve the signal problem?

I downgrade to 2.1-upadate1 (I9000XXJM4). Still no signal with SIM card. But when I try to upgrade to 2.2 via Kies 2.0 and didn't have info about possible upgrade to 2.2. So I downloaded old version of Kies (1.5.1) and try to again with regedit tweek and now I get information: "This software verios you cannot update"
Tryied "Test mode ON" "Test mode OFF", still nothing....

You will have to continue and flash the stock rom 2,2,1 as per the posted link .
Sim card have you checked it works on another phone .
jje
Yes SIM card is working perfectly on another iphone 3gs and nokia c5-00.
Now I don't have time to do all these steps, but tomorrow I will contact my operator to service it or maybe change to new one.
And do you think the signal problem might be the soft foulty? I think it is somenthink more...
And thank you for all the help.
Hello everyone.
I've just purchased I9001 and the version is gingerbread 2.3.3. I have a lot of application installed. When i upgrade my KIES version to 2.1.1.11124_17, a new firmware was mentioned by KIES. This is the details:-
My current version is PDA:KG2 / PHONE:KG1 / CSC:KG2 (XME)
New version is PDA:KJ2 / PHONE:KJ1 / CSC:KJ1 (XME)
If i upgrade the firmware, will i lost all my application installed?
If yes, is there any other method to back up my apps?
Attach is the picture of KIES
Don't use Kies unless you want to brick your phone.. the software sucks so hard that will almost brick your phone 100% sure. Use Odin instead and flash XXKPS (2.3.6)
But first root your phone and save /data/apps to your local drive
I think this is allot information for you if you just bought the phone but you should read the forums
You can find everything you need here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001
Go to 2.3.6 and download I9001XXKPS. You can use most of the tweaks for that.
Note: your warranty will be lost (at least formal). But its worth to do
you can find a good description how to flash a rom also here
i just installed XXKPU as described above and improved it following this post from point 3 of the step by step description on (steps 1 and 2 can be ignored due to previously mentioned description)...
my sgs+ works fine now... all apps with complete app data and settings plus market links were restored with titanium backup pro within 30 min...
make sure not to use kies ! it bricked my phone ! use odin !
Does KIES brick the SGS Plus only?
Before i started flashing roms i updated twice with kies and nothing happened ?

updating with kies is a real adventure, i tried it only once, and i was lucky it gave me an error at 0% , so i just got the battery out and all worked fine after a reboot, my friend was not that lucky, it froze on 55% and he could do nothing about it, so he had to flash a stock rom with odin to get his phone working again. i don't think it can hard brick ur phone (well the chances are little, but still possible) , mostly u can get into download mode and fix the issue, for those who don't know how, they just have to take their phone to service and claim their warranty.
But i like to know too...Is it a SGS plus thing? I have a SGS and updated 2 times my SGS, 2 times my girlfriends SGS and 1 time the SGS II of my sister. All with kies. Nothing happend.
Sooo... am i this lucky or IS it really a SGS plus thing?
Cheers

If you are not interested in exploring new ways to do things, Kies is the safest way
Hi
I have tried to update my i9000 running under Froyo to JB yesterday.
First, i installed GB 2.3.6 as requested, rooted it and then installed a custom rom 4.2.1
Since then, I can't receive any call, Phone app keep on not responding. i can call, I can send SMS or use 3G connection.
I Tried to flash 2 different modem but no luck ...
Any idea how to solve that ?
Thanks a lot
anyone plz I m desperate ...
was icubse
Check your emei - you propably lost it. If you have service imei and don't have /efs backup you need to flash 3-file ROM with pit and re-partition to get it back. Then root, make /efs backup (for example with sgs unlock app) and once again flash JB.
edit:
I didnt get that your mobile data works - so no imei problem.
one more idea - did you make factory format with code from dialer (reset to factory settings and sd-card format) after upgrade from Froyo to GB? If you didn't that could be reason of your problem. Or make factory reset now and check if it helps.
I have a GT-N7000 Galaxy Note which I won in a competition in the UK from Samsung, so it was already unlocked when I got it and can put in any SIM Card I want into it.
It originally came with Gingerbread - I've updated so that the phone is now rooted and currently has android 4.0.4
I want to upgrade to Jellybean but I'm confused by all the various ways there seem to be to update it.
At present I have totally reset the phone and installed Kies on my PC (windows 7 32bit)
When I connect the phone Kies says there is an upgrade
CURRENT FIRMWARE VERSION : PDA:LRQ / PHONE:LRK / CSC:LRQ(DBT)
LATEST FIRMWARE VERSION: PDA:LSZ / PHONE:LSO / CSC:LSZ(DBT)
I'm kinda scared to do an official firmware upgrade because the last time I tried an OTA update it failed although nothing bad seemed to happen to my phone but I'm really scared of bricking it.
If I use Kies do I loose root?
Do I need to worry about not being on an original Samsung Kernel?
Also I installed several mobile phone tracking software such as Prey Project to my phone - so I'm not 100% sure if it's still there or not after resetting. I can't seem to see any trace of it on the various screens.
Is KIES the safest way to upgrade to JellyBean?
The current state of my phone is full reset (also wiped the USB Storage and SD Card) and as follows:
Android 4.0.4
Baseband
N7000XXLRK
Kernel Version
3.0.15

No, it is not the best to do a upgrade is pc odin after factory reseting the phone on a safe kernel as you are on speedmod it is safe
Just follow this guide. This should be appropriate to upgrade to JB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156242

I would say kies will be the official way to do it ..
I'm a little worried about upgrading via a cable from my PC to the phone in-case I loose the connection
I was having trouble last night simply copying files from the phone to the PC via a datacable
it kept disconnecting after a few seconds.
At first I thought it was software on my phone that was the issue but even after resetting the phone to factory default setting I still got disconnections.
Then I went through my PC and removed any possible causes of problems such as firewall software, antivirus, etc
I only reinstalled windows on my PC a few days ago so there's not much software on the PC but I did remove USB software for my Motorola Phone and I think that's helped. The connection seems a lot more stable now. But doing something as sensitive as a firmware update worries me.
Removing windows software isn't an issue as I've ordered more RAM for my PC to take it up to 8GB and will have to re-install a 64 Bit version of Windows anyway to make use of the extra RAM.
I did come across this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2023907
The file named
ThaiDai_Small_XXLSZ_v1.0_MD5_12395d7c826d3cad45e9e b1e57f9e2a9.zip
Looks appealing because it seems to be a stock ROM but with a lot of Bloatware removed that I wouldn't want anyways.
Is this a good and safe option compared to using PC Odin?
The version of ClockworkMod on my phone is v5.8.1.8
What's the kernel?
That rom is good also there is one by eybee too. Full stock.
I did find this video which seems to show how to use PC Odin really well
