your friend bricked his sgs.. go get a usb jig which will help you to get into download mode @@

if your friend is still under warranty, send to the samsung centre..

did your friend try to pull battery?

no nid to tick repartition.. place the tar file in pda.. and flash smile.gif  not necessarily need 3 files
flash the theme zip through cwm. jq1 > jve imo, so just stay with it

my mistake.. yes.. no need 3 files.. only flash the 1 file.. smile.gif

I have problem backing up my contacts using KIES after phone is root. Is this normal?

u can always backup ur contact using google by synchronise contact from setting.. and you can view/edit the contact at www.google.com/contacts..
or you can use backup apps suchs Titanium backup or Mybackup to backup ur contact to sd..

I already use the MIUI Rom, it quite good but i not recommend for everyday use. Bear in mind that the base of MIUI come from the cyanogen mode,
so all problem from cyanogenmod 7 also carry on this ROM. tongue.gif

If you can live with:-
short battery life,
unstable 3G(lock & unlock phone can fix it),
difficult to download from android market and browser(seriously, i only can download something 2 times out of 10 trial, restart sometimes help),
no music & pic gallery( poweramp & quickpic can be alternative),
not all game work( most game i install will close by itself, only 4 out of 15 works),
accelerometer not work(it actually work at first but after you enter a game with accelerometer it will not work, restart fix it back),
cannot save the contact in the phone,
call will drop,
no fm radio,
no front facing camera,
camera lack of feature,
can't play avi, divx, mkv by default(moboplayer maybe can)
sometime can become sluggish, don't know why
all the benefit come from samsung will obviously gone,
(hardware accelerator for internet, slide to call/msg,music FLAC file, 5.1 surrounding sound, divx, bla2.., you get the idea) icon_idea.gif

that's all i ever encounter so far. I actually love this rom, it actually really fast, maybe
after they sort all the problems, i will dump the samsung rom. The feel of use this ROM
totally different from original android, it introduce a lot of feature inside the ROM thumbup.gif

If you don't know basic about flash using odin( i know almost of you use clockworkmod recovery),
don't try it or you will in the big trouble if you want to recover back your original rom( especially
without the 3 button recovery/download should avoid do this). For some reason, my phone cannot
start when want to downgrade back to froyo, keep vibrating, end up to semi brick my phone. I need
to start all back from stock 2.1 to 2.2.1, really a long day to get my phone functioning back. yawn.gif
Actually this ROM quite stable for the beta, hope codeworkx and the team can eliminate all the bugs
inside the cyanogenmod 7. This is far the best ROM(without all the bugs mention before) i have tried laugh.gif

I have a problem, what setting should I turn off to prevent the phone from using data? It just one night and RM30+ gone without doing anything.

Or you can use apndroid app. It has a widget for ready switch.

bro, come on la. join the MIUI side after this. i'm reallly really happy they still continue the development ni. and with Beta 5, if they already fix the Ext SD card, no more Darkyy for me. hehehe  brows.gif  brows.gif

Cm7 team has already fixed the sdcard mounting problem. Expect miui to have that patch as well!

If you look at the samfirmware.com guide, there's a difference between needing repartitioning or not depending on the file has one, or three files. I have indian stock rom with 1 file only.

What rom you flash actually? never heard about it, you sure for international galaxy s? If the phonne brick,
and don't have 3 button download/recovery the only way to revive it using the USB JIG. Don't simply flash
any ROM to phone, sure will brick it. Buy the USB JIG and you will never worry about bricking the phone thumbup.gif

if im not mistaken, the main probs now is it can't detect the Ext SD Card. but the devs said, it will be resolved in Beta 5 which will be release tomorrow!  rclxms.gif

MIUI beta 4 can detect the ext sd coz using CM7 kernel. Only the applications can't see it. If you use File Manager (No wonder it has two file managers and I forgot which one, try both), you can see your ext sd as /mnt/emmc or emmc

Found a bug in Handcent reminder notification.

I set mine to every 2 minutes. After a few reminder notification, my phone's sound driver/module is being locked up. No more sound from the phone, even answering call also has no sound. Have to restart phone.

Anyone faced this problem?

yeap no other way besides that.. since your friend bricked his phone, only way is to reflash to stock rom.. so in my opinion, the samsung svc centre wouldnt know your friend has rooted his phone before, since flashing to stock rom will result in loss of superuser(rooting)


Added on March 19, 2011, 5:55 pmguys, if i wanna set a custom wallpaper, what is the exact size to maintain the original pic?

adb method also won't work for him (meaning unlocking the 3br will not work).. he has the recovery & download mode initially.. just that he failed in flashing rom and bricked it.. smile.gif
