Ok, this might very well be a stupid question here, but if you dont ask, you dont know, what would happen if i was to Flash a standard Galaxy S 3G ROM onto my Galaxy S 4G using clockwork recovery? Would it work or would i end the universe?
Thanks =)
I don't think I would do that. If its not intended for the sgs4g then it will prob not go over very well.

It can brick your phone. Just don't do it.

i did it once last Jan. exactly 3 days after purchasing this phone, i did somthing stupid while playing with the phone and i had to Flash it. After Flashing the Stock 3G rom, the phone did not recoginze the service provider and had no signal at all!! i was lucky later to find the Stock 4G one and i tried to flash back to it and it took my 3 hrs as my phone went to the black screen of death and i didnt know what to do! Honestly i didnt know how i fixed it but it was pure luck.
thanks for that guys, guess i shalt be doing that in a hurry =)

I take it you did a factory reset?
there are a ton of ways to fix this, but you should take this opportunity to flash a new ROM and upgrade to gb. Follow fbis251's GB starter pack and flash Valhalla, icbinb ki1, or audiophile. Then try again. keep your Tmobile Sim card in while you Odin. if you are still getting the same problem...I can walk you through the long way

Yeah man I did a reset and odin already it didn't work I call tmobile I regret calling they don't know ****. All I know is that I think we have to set up the tmobile network manually tell how man I'm a quick learner.
I'm currently running valhalla latest update by whitehawk

This has been covered so many times. Please search a little harder. We see one of these at least twice a week. It means nothing. Carry on.

My device did this bone stock aswell...not sure why. Normally you will get a custom unlock screen after rooting with odinand flashing a recovery thru ez recovery on a locked bootloader. the fix, unlock your bootloader.
no I didn't do nothing that's why it's so weird I'm not even rooted,I have all the tools but haven't done it yet.

I have the Infuse and I just upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.6 using kies mini and the update from samsung. Upon downloading it and using it for a few days I absoutely hate it and would like to go back to Froyo 2.2.1. I have searched and searched through thread after thread and I have found no solution to this problem due to the fact that you can not root the official Gingerbread 2.3.6 and seems like this is a common problem with no real answer. I have an idea and im no expert but thats why I am here for the help. My girl also has an Infuse and she is still running the Froyo. My question to all of you is there a way to use her phone with the original Froyo OS and transfer it to My Infuse with Gingerbread OS or does anyone know of a solution to the rooting problem with 2.3.6? Thanks for your time.
Read this thread and choose the method best suited for you. Personally, I have always found that Odin is easier to use.

Thanks so much for the help I kind of feel dumb now. I figured out the reason Odin couldn't recognize my device was because of the USB cable. I switched the cable and bam it worked... thanks for taking the time to guide me in the right direction.

How do you not like gingerbread? Copy and paste. Smoother. More options. More apps work. Etc...
If you hate gingerbread don't go to jellybean they really rearrange the buttons on top of the new features.
Gingerbread made my lock screen not work properly and some of the features I didn't like so I'm running 4.0.4 and so far I love it.

I went to the Relay4g, so I gave my son my old SK4g.
He said that it tried to update today.
Does this mean custom 2.3-actual in the works?
Anyone w/stock ROM get this?
Lol I'm on a custom rom, but this temps me to Odin and find out
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app
Wait, what?
It probably just had old firmware on it and it tried to update.
Highly doubt this as the phone was discontinued and abandon by the developers

ok unrooted and tried... nothing... ill let it ride overnight but ill have to reroot in the am as im very doubtful there is a gingerbread update. if there really is an update im sure it would just be bug fixes and such for a newer stock froyo... even this i kinda doubt
It may be trying to update to KJ2. I received an email from Sammy stating that GB is not even being considered.

Got my stock SK4G today (no bad IMEI, yay!) and decided to check for firmware before rooting. According to Kies Mini, the upgrade version is T839UVKJ2/T839UVKJ2 11/11/07.
Hope no one got their hopes up.

You need to give me some more info bro what ROM are u on is ur battery having a problem or is the ROM not compatible with ur version of A2
Like ME865 & MB865 most ROM's are common but a couple of them cause heating issues and high battery drain i had that problem
with MIUI...........
So just give me some more info and read my thread on all the option available for you .................

Well I have the ATT stock ICS right now. I'm not sure what else I can give you.

Thinking about it now, it might not be compatible. I bought my A2 unlocked and without a carrier. It had some weird but much better version of Android on it when I bought it.

It doesn't matter of it's carrier unlocked or not, if it says AT&T on the front then it's an AT&T phone. It probably had a custom ROM installed when you bought it. You should browse around the development section for a bit. I think you'll find that the custom ROMs posted there are WAY better than Motoblur any day.:thumbup:
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
