- Tried searching a few forums but didn't get a definitive answer.
Is there any way to flash a new modem with a mac? I tried doing a few searches and everything came up with PC instructions.
Currently my baseband is
S:i500.04 V.EA28
Furthermore, is flashing a new modem required or recommended? Running SC 2.8 with EB01 kernel.
Any info would be appreciated.03-09-2011 02:58 PMLike 0 - Yes there is a way with something called heimdall but if your modem is working now on 2.8 then you are fineTried searching a few forums but didn't get a definitive answer.

- I went ahead and updated. It runs smooth. Text messages have better interface, gps works well and no problems with internet! So far so good. Question: how do I get the battery to change into a circle instead of a battery shape. Have noticed a lot of people have that done. Anyways, good luck on your midterm!03-09-2011 07:02 PMLike 0
- No matter what I try...I can not get my Mac to recognize my phone. Everytime I try the one-click I get, Error device not found. But when I plug the phone in it comes up and says new network interface found Samsung_Android, and I click cancel. Am I doing something wrong? The phone is in USB debugging...I didn't mount the SD card. I just don't know what the problem is. Thanks!03-10-2011 02:35 PMLike 0

So Sorry g
for the length but I have been trying all different methods for weeks& Yours is the most straightforward. Thanks03-13-2011 11:22 AMLike 0 - im having troubles flashing the superclean. i have successfully gotten though all the steps up until its time to put froyo on to the sd card and flash it. i downloaded froyo from the link you posted... it downloaded as a folder with a ton of stuff in it... copied it to sd, then when i get into recovery i cannot find a zip file to apply to the phone???
also somewhere throughout the process all my vibrate functions stopped working. is there a fix for this?03-13-2011 02:15 PMLike 0 - Try placing the zip files on the root of your hard drive. Double click the zip, this will extract the files and put them in a folder in the same location as the zip. Then run the app inside of the folder. If that doesn't work, then post what happens and we'll try to figure it out.03-13-2011 08:22 PMLike 0

When you downloaded froyo, it should have been in a zip file. You do not want to extract the zip at all during this process. When you push the file to the sdcard, choose the version of froyo you downloaded. Once that has been done, you will be able to find the zip on you sdcard and in recovery.03-13-2011 08:30 PMLike 0 - So I'm at the point where I'm trying to root and when the terminal screen pops up it says device not found, also when I first plug the phone into the computer it says device not recognized. What should I do here?03-14-2011 08:59 PMLike 0
- I should also note I stupidly skipped over the root section when I first tried (rushing through this; not good) and ran the cwr terminal before I did the root. After that I lost vibrate and my phone cannot be recognized.03-14-2011 09:03 PMLike 0

No but strangely when i held down the volume buttons while powering up, my computer recognized the phone when I turned it on. I tried to root again and it recognized it until it tried to install superuser and then it said device not found again.03-14-2011 09:14 PMLike 0 - 03-14-2011 09:16 PMLike 0
- Yes debugging and stay awake is on. Think it's possible I'm already rooted? I've done it before but I was pretty sure it was killed when I updated. Should I try the CWR terminal again?03-14-2011 09:17 PMLike 0
