hi ...
I recieved the update notice and decided to try out froyo but sadly I forgot to remove lagfix. what happened is that 3 button combo doesnt work and the phone says its out of memory and tries to shut down as many background apps as possible making popups about apps forcing to close and by that makes it impossible to do anything... I can still connect it with kies and I ask you here in a last attempt to fix the phone...
anyone got a idea? if you do please share
thanks in advance / Edin
noone?
bump
Disable lagfix, restart, restore defeaults.. might work
If you manage to enter settings and enable usb debugging you can use adb to reboot in recovery and do a factory reset...
thanks for the answers ... now it may be possible to enter settings if I get rid of the damn popups that make the phone lagg.. any ideas?
Is there any way that they will fall for something like update made it lagg (and who should I turn to)... maybe they will be able to fix it ? :S

Hey Guys
got some problems with my galaxy s
tried to delete the contacts manualy and mixed up some stuff.
then i replaced /system/app/contacts with the one from the n1 from froyo
after this i did a hard reset and a cleared the cache.
now after reboot i got a lot of fcs and cant enter menu or anything, but i need to enable usb-debugging to come in to recovery mode or download mode since this phone has no 3 button recovery or download mode
does anyone has some sort of suggestion how to solve this problem?
greetz and thanks for every reply
And guess what
It had to be posted in android development section!
Tried adb in recovery?
tried it and didnt work since adb isnt activated on the phone and i cant enter settings menu because i everything fcs within a second
Ah rite, I thought ADB was always active in recovery mode...Apparently its not.
And yes, this looks bad. Nothing comes into my mind... Is there a way to flash update.zip from external sd?
i guess there is no way to flash it without recovery...
if i gett wifi working is there a way to open adb via wifi without using an app like adbWireless or with the terminalpro?
Thread moved. Why was this posted in Development?
WB
I think this is one nasty brick...
Does kies recognize the phone? There is a way to reflash current firmware using it...
sorry for posting in developer thread...
if i try coneccting with kies i get android.process.media fc
I'm afraid I cant help you. Try good folks from #project-voodoo on freenode.
Lack of 3 button recovery is a *****.
jea i still dont get why they even blocked 3 button combo
well ill try a little more and tomorrow im going to call the shop were i bought it...
lets hope they are realy nice people
*edit
if i try to conecct with kies i come to that point that kies says " Das gerät wird verbunden" wich is german and means something like the device is beeing coneccted ...
wanted to give a short update
i am getting a new phone tomorrow and then i will be sending my old phone back to the shop where i bought it hope this one doesnt have the 3 botton mode locked
I'm new to sgs and android,so hopefully this is a noob problem and easily fixed and not something more complex.I've searched and read alot of posts and not found another problem similar,so maybe someone can help.
Got the phone recently and flashed Darkys v7.0 and very impressed by the rom.
Basically my incoming calls dont show up,when an incoming call happens,i get a vibrate and some sort of notification flashes on the screen for an instant then disappears,then my network signal drops out.
I've tried another sim and different service provider,same problem which indicates some issue with phone,have triple checked all my settings in call settings,answering is enabled.
I can make calls,sent and recieve sms messages and connect to net/mail via my 3g,so cant figure out whats going on.Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi!
Unfortunately, same thing here with me. First, I flashed 7,5 and the problem appeared. This mornig I put new rom 7.6 but still problem remains. Everything works, but incoming calls dont. Im trying to capture message that flashes quickly, but with no sucess...
SOLVED!!!
Factory reset did the thing. Calls are incoming as they should. (setings->privacy->factory reset)
Hope it will work for you.

Hey i have tried this and have possibly bricked my phone as all im getting is the Galaxy power up screen and nothing else,tried to get into recovery and nothing,ah well my android fun maybe over,might just get an iphone,seems a bit simpler for a knuckledragger like me
I really doubt that factory reset coud brick phone. Try to boot in recovery/download mode with 3button combination (hope you have it) and flash new ROM.

try to flash speedmod recovery on your phone, do the most recent stable version, once you get into recovery you can see if it truly is bricked, if you get the common SD error then it is bricked but if it's complaining about some data missing your still in luck.
check out what to do here....i posted about this a while back also if you want to look at my past posts.....

I had exactly the same problem; installed Darkys 7.5 after which I couldn't receive any calls anymore, did a factory reset and got bricked. 3button to recovery didn't work on my phone, but luckily I live close to a Samsung service center where they reflashed my phone.
I am curious what was causing this. If it is solved I would like to try the rom again, cause it looked great.

Hey currently all im getting is the yellow triangle sign with the android logo cleaning up and it says ''Downloading'' and on the bottom it says ''Do not turn off target'' that just stays like that for hours and nothing
Now i never had the 3 way download button working or checked,i pretty much did CWM and flashed darkys right after buying the phone.
When i try to get into CWM all i get is the Samsung Galaxy S gt i9000 start up screen and nothing.
Thanks for your help
I have the same problem excecpt I flashed "leap in the dark". Will factory reset erase all my data? If so are there any other options
Its really pissing me off.

i now decided to flash darkys 7.7
same problem
Hey Everyone..
Ive always been able to get into both download and recovery mode...but when I was going to apply a ROM to my phone i checked it and now i cant access either of them....
I havent flashed a new firmware or used ROMS or anything yet....it seems like it just stopped working?
Have i done anything to disable it or something????
Should i just do the FIX (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785201) to get it back working or is there something else i can do...
I have Froyo 2.2
Baseband-HVJP3
Build-FROYO.HVJP4
Thanks
i would suggest you do the fix, but be patient and read properly, cause one little mistake will brick your phone, and you wont be able to get into download mode to fix it.
i have no idea why your problem has arisen, thats very strange.
perhaps you should invest in a USB JIG as well. a very life saving tool
ahh k then.....
Maybe i should try wiping and reseting my galaxy s ?.. maybe ive installed something that blocks it?
Anyways thanks for your help
Hey guys
I managed to root my device with the first guide (oneclick) and uninstalled alot of LG crap, same time i uninstalled the LG launcer. - Today i got a problem with my device. I couldnt ring and hear people when i manged to get in contact.
I decided to factory reset the phone, but my problem is that i dont have any launcher now. When i do the hard reset thing (vol down + home and power on) i can get to the screen where i can type in pin code, but after that there is black screen cause there is no launcher. The search function dont work but the notification bar is working. so i cant get to the market and install. Mostly it just shows the LG logo when the phone is turned on and the touch screen is working cause it makes the click sound. But nothing else.
Does some one have an idea to how i can get a launcher installed ??
thanks in advance
Please use search function. This problem is already discussed here. You have to use ADB.

Sorry the other threads i found was about how to get other launchers. But i will try read deeper into to threads then ;(

Hello my fren.. Did u in the 1st place had made backup or ur rom via nandroid before removing stuff from ur rom? If yes then its too bad.. But there is always an alternative..
1. Download a custom available here and place it in ur mmc card.
2. I presume that u have paulobrien 3.0.1.4 r1 - ClockworkMod Recovery for the LG Optimus 2X installed then flash it via clockwork.
3. Enjoy ur new fast phone!!
naah i did not backup.. thought i would never need it.. but i was wrong..
so here is what i did.
When the nortification bar was working i went into the musicplayer from there, in there i managed to get the search funtion in albums wich gave me the opportunity to search on the internet via the browser (wich i could not open or find cause no launcher ).
I went to 4shared from there and found a launcher but i could not install it because the installing from other source funtions was disabled. Fortunately it gave me the option so i could enable it and i did.. AND YEEEHA i manged to install a launcher and retsarted and it dos work !!!
Before when i pressed the home button it just restarted the phone i could do nothing ! only black screen with logo.. so i reset it and tried the above...
it seems that my phone is still rooted, cause i have the "superuser" thing but when i get time i will unroot it and sell this crap of a device and get back my old Nokia N8 again
Don't just root your phone without learning how to actually use the powers it gives you. If you remove anything from /system you will not be able to restore it with factory reset, because factory reset relies on what is in /system. But I guess you figured that out the hard way.
Learn to use ADB and nvflash, nvflash being the easiest based on the guides at 2x.modaco.com. ADB can get you out of most trouble by editing/replacing single files and nvflash will enable you to overwrite all partitions, i.e. with a stock ROM.
Everything you need is in these forums or in the wiki.
yea the hardway was more fun ;-) (actually not )
I was trying the ADB way, but my computer didn regonize the phone so it was difficult
Now i just need the stock apps and launcher so i can unroot it again
start off with this page:
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15-03-2011/
once you have restored the stock rom you can now delete the clockwork recovery by using this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021554
after that unroot in superoneclick and your all done.

What do you want for the phone - lol?
Funny how when ever some user messes up something - then its the device that is crap
Ehmm the deivce is crap... the sounds is terrible.. and the reason why i messed up was i had problems with the device. When i call some one they cant hear me and i cant hear them.. same with income.. but i can text msg.. and its not my carrier or other stuff.. it is the ceappy device ;-)
Hi to all, Ok I have an Att Samsung Captivate with 2.3.5 rooted. Thing is, after I did the upgrade everytime I turn on WiFi or plug the USB cable a very annoying message about Tethering force close appears. I read that to fix it I have to do a factory reset but I cant understand how to do that and what will be lost in that process.
If someone knows another fix for this message pls share it. Thanks in advance!
Anyone knows how to fix this??
Same thing here, except I'm completely stock, never rooted, running OEM 2.3. Annoying as fark! Anybody know whats going on here?

factoey reset will delete all the apps message contact etc from the device completely i will not touch the sdcard at all
to do factory reset go to setting- backup and restore- factory data reset and it will ask you the google account password if you have linked it then phone will restart and will dovthe reset
I got annoyed with as well. Decided to go down the custom rom route and flashed Legend. The problem has gone away and I'll never look back. Since warranty and support from ATT are no longer any issue, I'd urge you to go that route.
