Ginger bread software - Galaxy S I9000 General

I have had Ginger bread on my phone for a few months now, but have started having some trouble, when I click on messages, call log or the menu button to get to my apps it goes to the selected menu buy then goes straight background to the home screen and it will keep doing this for a bit then it will work again
Anyone got any idea's?

Which version of GB firmware are you on?
Also have you installed any apps recently that your phone started acting goofy around the same time?...

I had this with 2.3.4 but 2.3.5 seems all good.

How can I updates my firmware to 2.3.5?

you need to flash JVS 2.3.5 with Odin.

Wrong order:
PRE-CONDITION: If you have Kies installed - kill its processes on PC using process manager (Alt+Ctrl+Del), then:
1. START Odin;
2. Set download mode on phone
3. Connect your phone

[Q] my vibrant is stuck on the samsung vibrant screen.

downloaded the ota update but now my phone is stuck on the samsung vibrant screen but i can hear the tmoblie jingle. my phone is rooted and my comp doesnt recognize my phone can anyone help???
Go to the bible under development section . You will need to use odin to get your phone back up and running . All file are posted there . You need the drivers for your computer to recognize the phone .
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I downloaded all the files so how do i install the drivers on to my comp?
There should be an exe file select the correct ones for your computer . If you have a 64 bit os use the x64 , if you have a 32 bit os use the x86 . Then run the correct exe file . It will install the drivers .
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
okay so i install the driver and started odin, stopped at <ID:0/005> cache.rfs removed the phone, removed the battery, went into dl mode, plug the phone back in to reflash it but odin wont let me push the start button. been reading other post saying that i had to delete s1_odin_20100512.pit file but where do i find that file?
The pit file isnt need unless you want to erase your data . If want to use it it can be found in the development section . In the bible directory then click mirror .
Does com4 ever appear in odin? Also try running odin as administrator .

Mine did that, but only after I tried to do a clockwork recovery to go back to before I did the JI6 update via Odin. It didn't work, so I flashed back to stock, rooted, installed ROM manager and then did my clockwork recovery. Man I love both of those apps.

you are right drivers are required for odin to see the phone
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
follow directions from this thread, very easy to fix this, had the same thing.
I have talked to many people that had issues applying the OTA update. Here are the steps to get your phone back to stock and apply the update.
As always, I'm not responsible for anything. yadda yadda.
First, download multiupload.com/NMPX3KMWRS
This contains Odin, the Samsung Drivers, stock odin rom, updated odin rom, pit file.
If you don't want to lose your settings, etc. you can skip to the second part. If your phone still doesn't work than start from the top.
-PART 1-
Step 1.) Make sure you have the appropriate drivers installed for your phone. If you are on 64bit then choose 64, if you are on 32 choose 32. You may already have the drivers installed and it will tell you after you try to install them.
Step 2.) Power your phone off
Step 3.) Open Odin.exe and plug a usb cable to your computer that will connect to your phone (do not plug it in to the phone yet, just the computer)
Step 4.) Hold down both volume buttons at the same time and while holding them down plug the usb into your phone. You should see a COM message show up in Odin.
Step 5.) To ensure your phone is back to stock, in odin you will want to check the repartition button. ONLY CHECK IT WHEN YOU ARE FLASHING BACK TO STOCK. Leave the other check boxes the way they are.
Step 6.) Click the PIT button and select the 512.pit file
Step 7.) Click the PDA button and select Original.tar and then click Start
It should go through a bunch of steps and then your phone will reboot. Below are the steps to update it to the latest release.
Close Odin and power your phone off.
-PART 2-
Step 1.) Open Odin.exe and plug a usb cable to your computer that will connect to your phone (do not plug it in to the phone yet, just the computer)
Step 2.) Hold down both volume buttons at the same time and while holding them down plug the usb into your phone. You should see a COM message show up in Odin.
Step 3.) Leave all check boxes the way they are. Do NOT check the repartition box.
Step 4.) Click the PIT button and select the 512.pit file
Step 5.) Click the PDA button and select T959UVJI6.tar and then click Start
It will go through a bunch of steps and then your phone will reboot. Congrats, you are on the latest update!

it worked!! finally! the reason it didnt work b4 was becuz i was using odin v1.0 instead of odin v1.3. thanks guys for the help
What can I used to extract the .zip files? For some reason my program is telling me it can't open the file as an archive... I hate this feeling of having a broken phone.

Help!! Phone is Frozen....

Ok. So I just got this phone. I had the iPhone before and Im pretty tech savy. I honestly have no idea about this phone. I rooted it and today I received the Tmobile GPS update. Of course silly me updated it. Now its hung on the opening Vibrant screen. I deleted all data thinking it might restore it completely. That didnt work. So now my phone wont work and I have no clue how to fix it. HELP PLZ!
First of all can you access download mode or recovery? Try pressing both volume buttons and power. And let me know what happens.

Sorry, took too long replying, i see you already almost there. If it stays too long at the File Analysis phase then there is probably not communication between your PC and your Phone. Make sure your PC detects your phone and that ODIN shows a port number when your phone is connected. (Any port # will do it) Check your drivers. Also if running Windows 7 Vista, try running ODIN as administrator.
The link to get all the files I need isnt working. GRRR!! This is a pain! Lol.

Not long usually.
It sounds like you are in recovery mode vice download mode my friend. Try this:
First make sure you have all the correct drivers for the phone loaded onto your system.
-Close and reopen Odin.
-Unplug the USB cable and remove the battery.
-Reinsert the battery into the phone.
-Hold down both vol down + vol up and plug in the usb cable (make sure it's plugged into your computer first).
This should get you to a yellow screen that has a andriod sweeping, with "Download Mode" displayed at the bottom.
When you look in Odin you should see a little yellow box with a com port number in the upper left. This means the computer and Odin have found the phone, and that it is now ready for flashing.
Select the stock JFD firware for the PDA option, and the correct 512.pit file for PIT.
Try flashing again. Hopefully you get a bit further this time!
YAY!! It worked!! Ok. Thanks for the help.
Oh should I install the Tmobile GPS fix and root it again? Or will it get stuck again?

Unlocking Vibrant

Hi there,
I am pretty new with this stuff, as I just got this phone today. It came with Froyo2.2 so I unrooted it back to the original JFK.
It did not come with a sim card, so I do not have a sim inside the phone as of now. But I do have a bell sim that I will use after to put the unlock key in... Is that okay?
I Connected the vibrant through Mini Kies and the MTP application says its connected.
I just re rooted from J16 back to the original.
I have the 64 bit drivers installed.
When I try to run Generate Unlock Windows Script I get the following error message saying...
Copy nv_data.bin
*daemon not running. Starting it now *
*daemon started succesfully *
error: device not found
error unable to find file <.\nv_data.bin>
could not find C:\documents and settings\1\desktop\key\generateunlockwindows\nv_data.bin
Anyone know what this means?
Or know what to do in this situation?
I am not sure if I should try installing the 32bit drivers or what.
how did you downgrade the phone from android 2.2?
I just bought the phone through ebay with the OS already at 2.2, and the phone is locked to t-mobile. I've heard it is not possible to unlock it with the 2.2 update. Is that true?

Yup, having exact same problem. If you find a fix let me know.
Make sure your usb setting is on debug and you have all of the files for the unlock on your pc. You also need java installed.
That method worked for me from stock.

Fixing so-called "Bricks"/Odin Errors
This guide is open to contribution/editing/correcting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOT CYCLE
This is where you get the annoying Samsung Screen/Galaxy S screen.
DOWNLOAD REQUIRED (CREDITS TO JUSTANOTHERCROWD):
1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by following the steps below
*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen (keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)
*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.
*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.
2. Unplug phone from USB
3. Open Odin (in Administrator if you're running W7 or Vista), try one of the ones I attached to this post, at least one of them is bound to work, some don't work for me, but works for others, some doesn't work for others, but works for me, whatever floats your boat
4. Load in the files into Odin that you have downloaded from above Just load in the files corresponding to the text field.
DO NOT CHECK REPARTITION.
5. Plug in your phone with the DL mode
6. Click start and wait for the magic
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO-BOOT PHONES
This is where your phone does NOT turn on, no combo of buttons works and power button does nothing.
DO THIS ONLY WHEN YOU PLUG IN YOUR PHONE AND NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN!!! If else, follow the steps from above.
This method is basically same as above, EXCEPT the way you get into Download Mode as your phone is HARD BROKEN.
1. Download all the files required in the "BOOT CYCLE" section of this post.
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Unplug phone from USB
8. Follow steps 4-8 from the "BOOT CYCLE" section.
Troubleshooting:
-Odin stuck at some random process?
*Switch to another odin
*Make sure you did NOT check repartition, if you did, just repeat all the steps over again, except for the downloading parts, obviously.
-Phone not responsive?
*Try "NO-BOOT PHONES"section of this guide
-Phone stuck at Galaxy S logo screen?
*Put it in to DL mode, and run Odin again, it's just a bad install.
-All three ODIN is nonfunctional, stuck or giving "FAILED" errors?
*DO NOT CLOSE ODIN ONCE IT HAS FAILED!
*Unplug your phone
*Replug in your phone, get it into DL mode
* Unplug once it is in DL mode
*Replug and ODIN should recognize your phone
*Leave all the settings the same, then click "Start" again.
-Cannot get into download mode using the method I listed? Use the method(s) below:
Soldering Method
More methods coming soon

[Q] Returning Galaxy S4 (rooted) for a new one. Please help. (or unroot help)

So yesterday when AT&T announced 50% off of smartphones I was pretty dumbfounded since I got a brand new S4 the day before. But the day I got it I rooted it and did all the other stuff. I will return my S4 for a new one but it's impossible for me to unroot. Everything I've done doesn't seem to work. I used Odin but it stops at the "Get PIT for mapping" stage. I tried deleting SuperSU but that didn't work. It made things worse because it said I'm not rooted but I still am. Now I can't even go to recovery. And I can't even connect to Kies. Can anyone help me unroot my device or help me be able to return my device when it's rooted?

I would think the tools section of Kies will have an option that will work. Connection trouble shoot first then emergency recovery. If your phone boots, you should be able to reset it to out of the box state.
If it's still rooted, try triangle away app.
If you go to settings, more, about device, build number, then tap on build number repeatedly it will restore developer options, if it's not shown now. From there you can enable or disable USB debugging. That might help with Odin. Wish I had more answers for ya.
Also try settings, accounts, backup and reset, factory data reset.

Do you know how to enter the download mode? If so then odin should recognize it. I think it's "hold the power button, down volume, and home button" till it instructs you to let got and hit the up volume button. The connect it to the pc for odin.

Is your phone a US AT&T model I337? There is a stock recovery rom in this forum somewhere, it's a zip file when extracted it will have a tar.MD5 file for use with odin. Or maybe you should use the PDA selection in odin, and uncheck the reboot box.

Just throwing out some ideas. Try a different cable if you got another one. Try plugging into a usb port in back of computer. You could try to re download the file again using a different mirror. Could just be a bad download. Anyways good luck.

Just throwing out some ideas. Try a different cable if you got another one. Try plugging into a usb port in back of computer. You could try to re download the file again using a different mirror. Could just be a bad download. Anyways good luck.

Is there a faster file to download? One link says it will download for 4 hours

[STOCK][ODIN][TARs][3/17/15]Latest - N910PVPU1BOB7 Stock TAR

UPDATED 3/17/15 - Added OB7 tar
I didn't see a decent link to the stock NIE/NK2/OB7 tar that wasn't on rapidgator or similar crappy site, so I uploaded it to AFH.

Oops, sorry shabby! If you had one, I didn't see it. You didn't have a thread for it, right? Cause I looked and didn't see one.
There's a few already, in general where these threads belong. Moving this there.

This happens on a brand spanking new Sprint note 4 right out of the box. I know this because when me and my wife got our new phones at a corporate Sprint store the sprint installer "stopped working" on first boot when they were activating our phones and turning them on for the first time. This is caused by the way they have these installer/preload apk's in the rom and the fact that the installer has to contact the network and actually download files during setup. This is NOTHING to worry about. Simply reboot your phone a second time and the sprint configuration installer will initialize and do it's thing. This is jst a little quirk but I've seen on on stock unrooted phones and rooted phones exactly the same.
