The funny thing is that now that I'm on Gingerbread the keyboard there is a little less convenient than the one on The Market, and doesn't have Hebrew keyboard option, but the one from the Market can't be used on Gingerbread (at least it doesn't appear as an option after I installed it on Gingerbread and tried to Change Input Method). Any ideas?

Right, I finally overcame my fears and successfully flashed my SGS II I9100 in Linux yesterday. I'll be as detailed as I can, but ultimately exact instructions would depend on which ROM you want to flash. Basically: 1) Download and install Heimdall from here: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/ There are debian packages (.deb) which can be installed in Ubuntu/Debian or converted to RPM. 2) Download whatever ROM you want. Unzip/unrar/etc to get the .tar.md5 file. This is just a regular tar file. Odin can read it all in one go. For Heimdall you need to untar it, and specify each file separately. 3) Get the phone into download mode. From a powered off phone, hold down vol-down, home, and power. 4) There's a Heimdall GUI which I didn't use (since it's not updated for the latest version). But the command line is very easy. Run heimdall with no arguments for a list of options. Then it's a matter of specifying what each file is. The (possibly) less obvious ones are * zImage is the kernel * Sbl.bin is the Secondary Boot Loader Then it's just (as an example): heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.bin --kernel zImage Yeah, it's that simple. For a full (stock) ROM it would probably be: heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --cache cache.img --factoryfs factoryfs.img --hidden hidden.img --modem modem.bin --param param.lfs --secondary-boot Sbl.bin --kernel zImage Some ROMs require you to repartition how the memory is divided, in which case you'll also need, for example, --repartition --pit 512.pit. 5) When Heimdall finishes, the phone reboots automatically with the new ROM. Note, that's the flashing part, which is easy, but ROMs in general might be a bit more complicated. e.g. especially for the Galaxy S II which is new, you might need to e.g. wipe the phone before flashing. You should definitely wipe the cache if you don't flash a new one. You can do these actions from recovery mode (power on with vol-up, home, power). Note, the SGS I is sometimes hard to get into recovery, see my previous note in a previous email about that. The point is, even if you flash successfully, other things could still go wrong. But then it's not a problem to just reflash the device. Just make sure you don't unplug or power off during the middle of a flash! Generally speaking, if you aren't trying to keep your user data between flashes, more than likely if you flash a base ROM, and then a custom ROM known to work on top of that base rom, your chances of success are very high. Let me know if anything wasn't clear, and good luck :) G -- Gadi Cohen aka Kinslayer dra...@wastelands.net www.wastelands.net Freelance admin/coding/design HABONIM DROR linux/fantasy enthusiast KeyID 0x93F26EF5: 256A 1FC7 AA2B 6A8F 1D9B 6A5A 4403 F34B 93F2 6EF5 // ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: Upgrading Android Under Linux
I'm following the forums around it but from what I heard CM7 doesn't fully support the SGS yet though this might change soon since Samsung released the kernel sources a few weeks ago. Another concern is that the CM7 apparently doesn't add battery or speed on top of stock 2.3 Android. For this I saw recommendation for DebusROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893385) which sounds like it addresses what I care about - battery life, stability and speed (in SGS' case - no lag). Nice detailed Youtube reviews and howto's can be found here: http://www.androidgalaxy.net/cyanogenmod-7-detailed-review/ I'm still waiting to either find detailed instructions for updating my SGS from native Linux or Mac OS-X (probably with Heimdell) or get my workplace to sponsor the license to install Windows in a VM just for this (I just don't have access to Windows these days). If I get access to Windows then I'll try to follow the Youtube instructions in androidgalaxy.net. If someone can point me to *detailed* instructions how to achieve that without Odin then I'd love to hear - I don't have time to mess with a dead phone if I screw things up or to sit through tons of text which assumes you already know tons of jargon TLA's etc. I tried following instructions but they all either start by assuming you know the acronyms and the basic stuff or I end up chasing explanations of the terms used in the instructions. --Amos On 5 May 2011 00:59, Antony Gelberg antony.gelb...@gmail.com wrote: If you're inclined, check out the CyanogenMod ROM.

Re: Upgrading Android Under Linux
I must admit, I just used Odin under VirtualBox with a Windows 7 guest... it worked great. But yeah it looks like you're going in the right direction. Stock Android does RTL, but it has a bug where numbers are reversed in RTL, which is a bit unbearable (think phone numbers, dates, bank balances, etc). As mentioned CyanogenMod has great RTL support (thanks to Omri Baumer), but the experimental versions for the Galaxy S are not usable for daily use. For full Hebrew support (fixes for specific apps, etc) you'll need a locally built rom. I'm using the PilotX ROM, which I'm very happy with... I have the v3, but I see v4 is out too. It's still based on 2.2.1 though (Froyo, not Gingerbread), so you might have to decide what's more important for you. http://sgsil.mobi/showthread.php?t=46 (see also www.iandroid.co.il forums) There are full instructions on the site for how to install; as was pointed out, you only need Odin to replace the bootloader, and from there it's just a matter of putting all the files you need on the internal memory and flashing them. Obviously you could use Heimdall instead of Odin for that step. A lot of ROMs are expecting to be flashed over a certain version of the flash rom; I think because the partitioning is done differently. Also ***very NB*** is to make sure that you can get to download mode (vol-up home and power-on at same time) before you start flashing things; if you have an older Galaxy S you have to get this working first. To leave recovery mode if you don't flash anything (and only then), you have to remove and replace the battery. To get to recovery mode with vol-down,home,power can be sketchy sometimes, but it's possible with some effort (usually by plugging the phone in to power with the phone off, holding that key combo in for 3 reboots (without letting go, it restarts on it's own) and then it goes in to recovery fine. The other solution was - believe it or not - heating the device up with a hairdryer, which also seemed to work according to a lot of forum reports. If you have adb working, you can also just adb reboot recovery. I realize your main question was probably about Heimdall and Gingerbread, but I hope some of the other info here will help you.

I'd like to upgrade it to version 2.3.3 (Gingerbread). Can any of you tell me how to do it under Linux? I am running Ubuntu 10.04. I found out that Heimdall is the equivalent to Odin, but I get a dependency error on the C Libraries when I try to install it. Thanks!
