No it's not rooted.

Try removing the battery for 5 minutes and start all over again

[MOD] Use the backlight botton for NOTIFICATIONS...

Hi all,
as you can see in this video,
http://android.hdblog.it/2010/06/20...a-della-presentazione-italiana-del-24-giugno/

there are two backlighted bottons on our Galaxy S; once is the BACK botton, the second one is OPTIONS botton.
Now, probably we can remap the OPTIONS botton for use it like a NOTIFICATION LED!
I suppose that: if we have one message/email or one unaswered call, the light of the option botton could PULSE..!!!
I think that this is the best solution for our NON-LEDED-PHONE...
What do you think?? Probably we can work on!!
Let me know!!
great idea.. definitely worth it..
one thing nice about i9000 is the home button wakes the phone

In the end, if is possible (but i need the help of our cheefs) i can work on it...
Waitin'...

I don't know... I'm waitin' two Galaxy S for early July, so we need to wait somebody that have the phone right now...

Yes, but they light up, i think this is enough
I saw a video of the boot on youtube but i don't find it... damn!

No lights up...but maybe the part of the video that we need is too short..
They do not light up under the boot.
But you can trigger them/use them while booting.

Probably, but we need to activate them any time we loose a call or we have a message/email...
I see that the bottons are capacitives, not phisicals...
Yes, they are touchbuttons. If you need any help from me since I have the phone already let me know.
Code:
case ACPI_BUTTON_NOTIFY_STATUS:
input = button->input;
if (button->type == ACPI_BUTTON_TYPE_LID) {
acpi_lid_send_state(button);
} else {
int keycode = test_bit(KEY_SLEEP, input->keybit) ?
KEY_SLEEP : KEY_POWER;
input_report_key(input, keycode, 1);
input_sync(input);
input_report_key(input, keycode, 0);
input_sync(input);
}
acpi_bus_generate_proc_event(button->device, event,
++button->pushed);
break;
is the KEY_SLEEP the back key ?

Download mode - feel like an idiot

I have tried 6 times now. What the heck am I missing? Holding volume up and down and power until it comes on. I have tried holding all the but it didn't work either.

Maybe try it like it is required on the nexus? Try holding both volumes, then press the power button quickly but do not hold
From what I gathered from somewhere, it was:
Hold Vup + Vdown.
Press Power until it starts to boot.
Release Power while continuing to hold Vup + Vdown.
EDIT: The above does not appear to work for the E4GT.
I would try Vdown+Home+Power for download mode and Vup+Home+Power for recovery mode as it is in the international SGSII, but I will not receive my E4GT until Monday, sorry!

What did you get a custom locked edition? Lol..I am sure its probably a minor oversight. Everything I have read said Volume up+down together and power button all at the same time

I was mistaken... looks from here like the international SGSII was Vdown+Home+Power for download mode, and Vup+Home+Power for recovery mode.
Edit: More complete directions for using Odin from the SGSII forums summarized by G'man here.
Edit2: Zzim confirms that for the E4GT, Download=Vdown+Power ; Recovery=Vup+Power. The home button is not necessary.

I wish I knew, I will not be able to test until Monday when I get an E4GT in hand.
Edit: Zzim has a post here showing pics of the E4GT in download mode, but the only method discussed in that thread is the Vup+Vdown+Power, and Zzim stated later that it was through Vdown+Power.

You are the man. I feel much better now. I was really beginning the think I was an idiot. This is the proper way for download and recovery.
Vdown+Home+Power for download mode, and Vup+Home+Power for recovery mode

Odin. Not flashing anything yet just making sure I can get into it.
Zzim confirmed that the Home button isn't even needed for Download and Recovery modes on the E4GT, it's just Vdown or Vup + Power.

Even better. I will try it out on my phone once it charges up. By the way I got my phone at 9am EST with very little battery left on it. Used it all day until 3PM before it died. Use would be moderate. Looking forward to trying it out once it is really broken in.
I'm not really up on the sgsII info but after reading this..I have to ask..does the epic touch come with an unlocked bootloader out of the box? So in order to root do you just have to flash a custom recovery and su?

Yes to the unlocked bootloader. Samsung is really getting behind the dev community for this launch, with unlocked bootloader and source code available on launch day.
The root method has not yet been confirmed, but I'm sure it's being worked on as I write this. Hopefully SGSII root methods will work on the E4GT and we'll be off and running.
That's unheard of! ..so I guess it shouldn't take long for some custom roms ..I thinkbi have made mmy mind up and will get this phone although I do love my 3d a couple things irk me like the weak earpiece. Speaker and pita to get a good photo camera ..to me the camera is the big thing. ..the crazy speed doesn't hurt either ..I was watching it run through quadrant and the whole time it was pinned at 60 fps ..
nvm
fixed it
Whats with the Home buttton? Vup gets me reovery..Vdown is DL mode....

if u do have a htc desire then pull the battery out n put back in then press in and hold the trackball button + power button. think that works and i think to put the phone into safe mode u press and hold the menu button + power. if ur phone just booted into safe mode itself then u probably have some kinda hardware problem.

well i think that its probably hardware if no buttons really work or if they r working without u pressing them. before blaming hardware, u should look at a video on youtube and take ur phone apart and give it a GOOD clean, all around the buttons. ul be surprised at how dirty they get and that causes them to stick. its up to u tho but thats what i would do.
