if you just update your firmware from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6, best solution is to factory reset your device. I did that, and it works.

Bro, dun need to factory reset. I just did this.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2104508 (Page 1 > Post 3 > Q.21

Resolution

1. Unplug the USB cable


2. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284# Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode. The good mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.

3. Plug the USB cable.

Note:

* Repair USB connection for any Samsung Android phone

After 42 attempts, my stock ROM / Kernel 2.3.6 is rooted with Doomlord v3. Finally.

I always got mount: permission denied.

I have tried reformat phone. Downgrade with ODIN to 2.3.5 and try, upgrade back to 2.3.6 and try. Follow all the tips on Kies uninstall , reinstall, kill processes at task manager, tried on 2 diff laptops, XP and Win7 ult 32 bit., Different USB ports, tried Doomlord V1,V2,V3, with and without the pause, extra pause, tried superoneclick, Tried praying.

I am not sure why, dont kick me, This time the thing that "probably" did it is

a) Only left Kies with adb driver in my C.Uninstall myphoneexplorer, droid explorer, etc. My android SDK is in D:

b) After mount permission failed; the command will come out reboot.....and i had to wait for a long time for the ALL Done to appear. Normally I would yank out the phone and restart manually.Even if I switch it off, it will restart by itself.

c) This time, when mount: Permission Denied came on, and reboot statement at the end, I left the phone attached to USB and was doing my work. And I saw after ~ 10 mins phone restart by itself.

d) I didnt go into task manager to kill ADB.exe, rather, I just re -ran the batch file with admin rights. And bingo it worked.

So if u got chronic case like me, try that. If mount permission denied comes up. Let the command come on, All Done, phone reboot by itself and run again without killing ADB.


Never give up.Never.

Hi guys,

Do you guys have problem with the camera for this phone? Mine constantly hang and freeze. After I force close it and try to reopen it, it will give a warning that camera failed? I need to restart the whole phone to let the camera work again. Any idea how to solve it?



FYI, i have not rooted it yet and plan to do it but I just want to know if any of the users are having this problem.

Anyone tried HC-kTool v1.25? It's compatible with G variant. You can go save

your Efs folder in the most easiest way!! kTool also have the ability to dump

kernel of your current firmware. I'm still on DZKI1, so anyone on DZKJ2

dumped the kernel? Mind to share ........ wink.gif


@4686nicky

That is the stock 2.3.6 = DZKJ2 from Samseng smile.gif. Either you're on 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 you can root (+CWM).

And after rooting don't forget to make backup of your Efs folder with kTool!
