Thanks for the several comments, about the same thing.

I’ve already said where you can find the terminal in my previous comment, if you’re unfamiliar you should probably do some reading before you start messing around in Linux.

Many thanks for this – my new Toshiba Satellite Pro C660D-1CE (catchy name) has the same graphics chipset and the same “Unsupported Hardware” watermark issue.

Just a quick heads-up to anyone else who reads this; you do need to run the fixwatermark.sh as root (in a terminal, sudo ./fixwatermark.sh) or it’ll just throw a bunch of permissions errors.

Comment on Flashing Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) ROMs with Heimdall by Alex

mmislam72,

As far as I am aware, it’s only possible to do this if you have 3-button recovery enabled.

(press and hold Volume Up & Home Key. Now also press and hold the power button, when the logo comes on release only the power, keep the other two held until you’re in recovery mode.)

If that method doesn’t work, it might be possible to force it through adb (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html).

If you can get to recovery mode, you can fix your bricked phone.

Thanks Truxton,

Hopefully someone else will find that useful if there isn’t a quicker way.

Since this was one of the first hits when i researched this problem i will share my specific solution. I use nautilus (3.2.1) but >don’t< run Gnome. I use lxde/openbox without gnome-settings-daemon which requires to edit/create a file to change the value of gtk-can-change-accels.

~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

I had to create the setting.ini file as well as the gtk-3.0 directory. In the file you put:

[Settings]
gtk-can-change-accels = 1

Save the file and restart your desktop session. Now you should be able to change the hotkey in the way it's described above (open up Nautilus…).

After you have changed the hotkey you have to edit the file again (to gtk-can-change-accels = 0) and restart your desktop session once more.

If someone has a better/faster solution let me know.
