Yea I did too, except when I odined a modem it gave me the computer-phone logo. So I odin to stock and retried the steps. It works perfect. Try that
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
They are fixed when you install the rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
No, just follow steps in Op or you can use the AIO toolbox
[Vibrant Android Development] mikomikos:
do you mean this step in 1st page :

- Install Instructions v3.3

1. Place Simply3.3Update1.zip on your internal sdcard

2. Boot into clockwork recovery

3. Perform a factory reset.

4. Select the zip file and flash.

5. Once it is finished rebooting, wait 15 minutes before doing ANYTHING!

6. NOW REBOOT AGAIN!!!

- Works to come from any Rom. Wipe, wipe, wipe first.

- YES IS SAFE TO COME RIGHT FROM RC2!!!!!!

So... it just as simple as Factory Reset and select .zip file.

Am I right ?
[Vibrant Android Development] Me2995:
Thanks guys, up and running now! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] djluis48:
You just clicked ''Install Custom ROM'' and selected the ROM right? No kernel ?

Im currently using CM7 with a Voodoo Kernel...

I have another question...so i can't change the Kernel on this ROM? I MUST use CF-Root Kernel? Can't change to a Voodoo Kernel or something?
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
Ok if your coming from 3.3 update 1 then just convert to rfs file system. Then apply the cfroot kernel. (linked at bottom of OP) then flash via cwm app. You cant see that its working cuz of rainbows but it is. Now when it boots up let it sit for 15 mins then reboot and enjoy. No need to do any wiping personally since the script does it for you if needed. Also you posted instructions for 3.3update 1. Those do not apply anymore. If you dont have 3.3 then flash it but you dont have to wiat the 15 mins anymore.you can continue to flash revolution.
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
any kernel compatible with jvh should be compatible with this rom but those kernels wont be supported by these devs I believe. Also flashing another kernel runs the risk of messing with you capacitive button layout.
[Vibrant Android Development] zbt1985:
can anyone confirm that the ffc is working with gtalk on this? or just the back camera? can someone test for me please i have no wifi at my work
[Vibrant Android Development] sgreene84:
When I try to flash the CF-Root kernel, I get "no zImage found in the file, kernel flash failed"
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
Im getting force closes when trying to switch to twiz 4. Does anyone have it running flawlessly?
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
Why can i not boot into recover?? I am unable to read the screen!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
Dont know why people is having a hard time flashing this rom. All you have to do is have 3.3 update 1 flash on your phone already. Convert to rfs which I was already on. Flash 3.5 through cwm and you good. I use the kernel that came with 3.3 update 1 so I didn't flash no extra kernel like told. But everything runs good and fast. Only problem is root explorer is force closing every time I run the app. Anybody else?
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
I am just trying to upgrade to this release!!! I just do not want to Odin back to stock, just to upgrade to the new release.
[Vibrant Android Development] CLopez92868:
Root explorer FC

When I have that problem I just uninstall it then I install it fresh again.

Try that, I do that with apps that fc on me and it fixes them.
[Vibrant Android Development] throwedyungg:
Successfully installed 3.5 and everything was working fine until all of a sudden my home button stops working... I've rebooted with no luck..
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
it is easy for you because you skipped one step from OP. it is suugested to flash a cf-root bootloader before the final rom flash, which i think cause lots of bricks.
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
Yeah that's the first thing that came to mind but same thing keep happening
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
How do I get Clockworks to work?? I can not find my phone in the list!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
Okay make sense now... I'm glad I didn't follow the direction completely. But hope my way helps someone out
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:


Reread what I wrote a couple posts back.. and flash 3.5 in a app call cwm which can be found in your app drawer if u are on 3.3. But make sure you are on rfs and not ex4. You also do that part using cwm app.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
THERE ARE NO BOOTLOADERS"!!!!

Its only required yo flash the kernel to ensure everything installs properly. Voodoo and cf-root use different mount points and require different permissions in the install script.

THERE ARE NO BOOTLOADERS!!!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] BowLow:
Will be waiting on update that would be very convenient
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
I need help. I odin'd to jfd, then I rooted, then I installed rom manager and flashed clockwork mod recovery. I then try to go to recovery and reinstall and it just installs the update.zip that is used to root the phone everytime. Im trying to make it cwr replace stock and its not working.

Edit: Got it working.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Future you don't have to do all that. Just Odin to JFD, use three buttons to get into recovery where you'll be greeted by the blue screen, select reinstall packages, do it again and then you will be in a green recovery screen.

No need to ODIN, root, Rom Manager and then flash.

Link added to OP for battery calibration without going into recovery. UNTESTED as of yet but should work
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Thx man. Also will it be hard to put in the screen on animation as well? Also does chainfires kernel fix the touchkeys staying on until the screen is off?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Not sure what you're asking with the first part?

Just checked and yes the keys stay on while the screen is on. Unless you mean you want them off?
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
The first part is the crt animation when the screen turns on. The second part is the light is suppose to turn off after a few seconds. Also im sorry for these things but when I use sgs kernel flasher to flash the kernel it says "no zimage found in the file, zimage extraction failed flash failed."
[Vibrant Android Development] danalex0829:
crt lock screen

can anyone tell me which file is it that controls the lock screen animation?
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Go settings/display/animations/all.
[Vibrant Android Development] jpcdeux:
On my old phone I used nothing but cm7. Liked the stock, normal look.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Ok extract the tar file from the zip and try that with kernel flasher.

I don't think we'll have much control over those lights until we get source.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Thx. It worked.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
I don't know if its the simple frame fix or the kernel, but the camera and camcorder are both broken.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Both working here. Try re-booting.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
I just reopened the app and it worked. Also I just can't stop saying thanks, but thanks for this wonderful rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Also I think the power control doesn't work until the phone reboots, the icons don't show.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Now I can thank you. I was gonna dig into that widget tonight but just re-booting seems a lot easier.
[Vibrant Android Development] takev215:
i need help pls...for some reason my system sound and media sound stop working...it was working than i rebooted it and it stopped working...notification and incoming call sounds work...i have odin back to jfd and reflashed 3 times still didnt work..when i had it on jfd, i checked to see if system sound work and it did.. i'm using chainfire v30 kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Try using the headset toggle widget to change the output.
[Vibrant Android Development] takev215:
omg im a dumb@ss..i wasted so much time reflashing and that was all it was...thanks bro..

btw...my gps works and locks in pretty fast..
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
I actually found a better fix. If you use the power widget to toggle any of the controls like wifi or bluetooth in the pull down menu, the icons will show again
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
You can also just clear app data in settings.
[Vibrant Android Development] lilbluemirage:
I followed all instructions and am now on 3.5. I don't see the CWM app and i can get into recovery (green), but it's distorted (somewhat readable.) Is that normal? or did i miss something?
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
I have tried using that app, but I can not find the Samsung Vibrant in the list of phones. All I see is the Galaxy S i9000, Google Nexus S, and Nexus S 4G. I tried even going to "Install ROM from SD card", but when I select the ROM, it comes up with it can not.

Also, I tried rebooting into recovery, but the screen all fuzzy, like an old tv without any input.
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
Cwm is not seeable in this rom/kernel, right now with gb roms there is a trade off between cam/video and seeing cwm and rainbows
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
So I should Odin back to stock if I want to go to the new release or any other ROM that is out there??
[Vibrant Android Development] throwedyungg:
Nevermind just flashed it again and it worked!
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
You dont have to the app drawer should have a cwm app which you can use to flash zips. use that to flash the new update.
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
That should have been my second choice. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
I have already stated that I tried that and I could not find the Samsung Vibrant in the list of phones.
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
you are right. i forget the name. i flashed that kernel a few times and caused lots of problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] CLopez92868:
Great Rom Once Again! / Swype Install

I have to tip my hat to you EB and all the contributors to this rom.

I came from TW's roms, I have to say that I have been very impressed with the overall result from your teams roms. Great Work!!!

For those of you that can't live without swype on your phone, do what I did.

I used Rom Manager to install the SwypeSO.zip (On the OP).

I went into Rom Manager and clicked on "Install ROM from SD Card" then I chose SwypeSO.zip, then I unclicked "Wipe Dalvik Cache", None of the boxes should be clicked. After it flashed the zip and rebooted I had swype installed.

Keep up the Great Work Guys. I'll be buying you guys some beers here shortly.
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
are you sure your using the cwm app and not rom manager? this app doesnt flash cwm but actually is cwm but in app form.
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
I was using ROM manager. I will try that app.
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
Lol that's what we been trying to tell you!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
A i notice Netflix doesn't work anymore. I don't know if its the new rom or the newer version of Netflix.. post back in a min

Okay it was the newer version of Netflix. So DO NOT upgrade to a newer version and u should be fine
[Vibrant Android Development] lightninbug:
Is there a fix for haptic feedback on home button? Everything else works awesome!:D
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
Sorry!! I did not know there was a different app to use other the ROM manager.
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:


It's cool bro sometimes our minds be going in three different directions. Glad u found the problem
[Vibrant Android Development] jh180:
Is anyone else missing the CWM app? I take it we'll need it to flash future updates when they become available. I looked thru 3.3 to see if i could pull it and push it to system/app but it was nowhere to be found. Anyone mind pointing me in the right directions please?

-Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
There is no issue with Baltic. It is built into jvh standard now. I9000 users have haptic now and never did before. If you're between steps on 3.3 after flashing the kernel then your buttons will be messed up but when you flash the rom it is corrected.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Cwm app is part of the cf-root kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] J017373:
Okay so here is my laundry list of questions before I flash:

*

1) So (if I’m reading this correctly) its safe to flash 3.3 over my current ROM (JB5 deodexed)

*

2) What is the issue with the bootloader? I saw that CM7 had a similar warning about bootloaders and I’m interested/curious/confused about it.

*

3) CW recovery is only visible using a 2.2 kernal? So use the app to flash the update? The only way to see CW recovery is to stay on 3.3 or to go back to 2.2?
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Those looking for CWM app, download Chainfire's kernel and open it (on your PC) with WinRAR or 7Zip and you will see a "system" folder and the "app" folder within which contains the CWM app. Extract it, put it on your phone's /system/app folder, reboot and there it is.
[Vibrant Android Development] lightninbug:
I flashed a i9000 galaxy 2 theme for jvh..not sure which one, as there are two. Is there a file i can replace with root explorer to fix it? My buttons work fine just missing haptic on home buttob.
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
Is it normal that during boot up, the screen shows what looks like static?? Also, can I change the boot animation through Root Explorer?
[Vibrant Android Development] throwedyungg:
@explodingboy70 Finally put my money where my mouth is about how much I appreciate your hard work, hopefully enough to buy a case of beer where you live. I donated to simone for all that he has done as well!
[Vibrant Android Development] lightninbug:
please help me fix haptic feedback on home....i flashed this theme... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058709
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Doesn't sound like that theme is actually based on stock jvh then. Sounds like they took a shortcut with the lock screens. Androidpolicy.jar controls haptic. You still have home key functioning correct? In that case start over with step 3 and reflash. Then you can pull that jar file from the theme zip and apply it. Assuming it has 5 lock screens.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
After I flashed 3.5 I had no service at all. I went into mobile networks and it said to insert sim card. Then I tried to flash the kb5 modem via Odin, but it stalled. So I just went back to cm7. I don't want to go through all of that hassle flashing 3.5 again.
[Vibrant Android Development] throwedyungg:
Ok guess I'm missing something... went to "settings", "sounds" and saw that haptic feedback is turned on but it doesn't actually work...
[Vibrant Android Development] nauj23:
Home button not working, volume keys working backwards (Volume up = goes down, volume down =goes up)....Dont know what to do!! =(
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Are you guys fully on this rom or between steps? The keymapping in the rom is set up for this kernel only.

Check settings/about phone and ensure it says Simply 3.5 and bullet jvh
[Vibrant Android Development] djluis48:
I want to try this rom, but i can't go to download mode to use Odin, and im using CM7, so i can't use SGS Kernel Flasher...any idea why my phone wont go to Download mode?
[Vibrant Android Development] nauj23:
Don't know what you mean asking "are you guys fully on this rom or between?".....I just saw a good coments of this room on another forums and i decided to try it, i did a clean install, i flash a clean JVH firmware, then i rooted with CFRoot with CWM3, wipe data and install your rom, i boot up and the i noticed the fisical buttons dont work, i did check my about phone and i have on kernel bullet JVH, on build number have a Simply Honey 3.5 revolution by SGT...Is there a fix or should i reflash?

Thks.
[Vibrant Android Development] throwedyungg:
I'm fully on it...
[Vibrant Android Development] throwedyungg:
Have you tried taking out battery, disconnect usb cable from PC, hold volume up + down, plug usb cable to phone, connect battery back in...? After this you should be in Download Mode.
[Vibrant Android Development] tizaktizak:
hi

i'm using v3.3 with the other launcher as default (not TW4) and when i create a shortcut to a favorite from the browser or a profile with audio manager it puts it on the TW home screen instead of the launcher home screen.

how do i fix it?

i'm using i9000 but i was told to ask explodingboy70 on this forum cuz he is in charged of the TW...
[Vibrant Android Development] djluis48:
When i plug the USB back in, it needs to be connected to the PC, or just like that?

Im trying to install 3.3, but im getting that its not supported by CMW3.0....
[Vibrant Android Development] Jboogie321:
My GPS was working fine before I updated. Is there a fix? Pandora and slacker radio also aren't working now. Should I reflash?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Thats correct. Most here on the vibrant forums are still on Froyo and to make the process as painless as possible I have used clockwork2.5 as the install package.

From CM7 I would go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=948790 and download JVH (Looks like this...Gingerbread 2.3.3 (Stock 3e recovery):

PDA/CSC/MODEM:

XXJVO/OXAJVO/XXJVO (MultiCSC): Download (162.4 MB) MD5:cd2688f795e66617e7b49c2425528818 )

Odin that package then after it reboots, odin the CF-root kernel. After it reboots again you will have CWM app, select flash update and choose Simply_Galaxy_3.5_Revo.zip.

Also works for anyone else who is ALREADY running a Gingerbread rom.

I'm really not sure how CM7 is set up so I can't really give any more options.
[Vibrant Android Development] lagunas11:
Ummm i dont know if anyone has thebsame.problem but ibflashed SIMPLY HONEY REV. Nd before i flashed that rom i was using simply galaxy so i used titanium and after i flashed simply honey i restored all my apps and system data and yea everything worked right the apps were there i just needed to reeboot my fone so i reebooted my phone and i went to all my apps and i saw the icons that tells you that the app thats been showed is not installed and titanium was gone too so i diwnloaded it and it did the same thing i rebooted my fone again and titanium was gone again and non of my apps wud show after i restored them..
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Okay I'm lost as to what you did and what phone you are putting this on. My instructions are for Vibrant user as is the rom. Nowhere in my instructions did I say to root, unneccesary step as CF-Root kernel auto roots the phone, nor did I say to wipe data.

My guess here is that you are not using a T-Mobile branded Vibrant. If you are then the problem lies in the steps that you have taken.

I flashed my phone at least a dozen times over the weekend and swore that I was done for awhile but in the interest of trying to ensure that the steps work I did it again FOLLOWING the steps exactly and it work, again, without issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] lucky 69:
did you get to work ok?:D
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
The latest release of Titanium seems to be having trouble. I would find an older version and use it instead. I keep one that works fully on my SD card and don't download the latest from the market.

Try this one.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Just tried and works for me. Are you creating the shortcuts by long pressing the home screen that you want it on and then selecting create shortcut or are you using an app to create shortcuts for you?
[Vibrant Android Development] MicBeast:
My Home button does not work....Otherwise I like it.
[Vibrant Android Development] dsuycott:
EB___I posted blue tooth/wifi errors with 3.3. Happily reporting that 3.5 is running both beautifully for the last 7 hours. Thanks! This rom is smoof... hittin' that donate button on payday!

[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Did anyone have service after 3.5 update? I had no service at all. I couldnt flash a modem because there was no cwm app. So i just went back to cm7.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Do you have root explorer? Use that and go to system/usr long press melfas_keylayout and open in text editor. Ensure that home is 102 and not 105. If you have to change it to 102 youll need to reboot for it to take effect.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
The modem is not flashing proper for some. If you try again and have the same problem then use odin to flash a modem. Linked a few pages back last night to the modem page.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
I flashed the kb5 modem via odin, but nothing was happening, it was stalling on do not turn off target.
[Vibrant Android Development] djluis48:
Only problem is that i still can't get my phone to go to Download mode....:( Is there something that im missing here? Im good following instructions, and i think that im doing everything as its written (i have tried a couple of methods found in different posts) and i still can't enter to Download mode...im starting to guess thats its a ROM/Bootloader/Kernel problem? Something like that...
[Vibrant Android Development] crunkhead18:
i encountered that problem too this morning. and this is what i did, im sure you flashed chainfire's kernel 3.2 right? then before flashing that kernel we recommend you to use SGS kernel flasher to back up JVH bullet kernel (cmenard). you only use cf's kernel to flash an update or else home button will not work and the volume keys being backwards.... after flashing an update of your choice go back again and use SGS kernel flasher then select the back up that you made,phone will reboot and enjoy! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Try volume up only when you plug in. If that doesn't work try down only.

Again I'm not sure how cm7 is set up as I haven't used it since 6.5 first came out.

Seeing as youre on a gb rom you should be able to flash 3.5 directly from cwm as it is cwm3 compatible. If it doesnt install all apps you should then be able to start with step 3 and all should be good.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
That sounds like a odin issue. I've had to turn my computer sideways and use the ports in back to get odin to work right. Went a whole month of that and tried everything when I switched to the ports in back it started working perfect again.
[Vibrant Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
after the update to 3.5 it works fine for five minutes, but after that the phone is CONSTANTLY rebooting back to the splash screen. wiped, and reinstalled, same problem. any ideas? tried doing a logcat, but theres just way too much info.

Edit

you should always read the instructions before updating :-)
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Well when I flashed back to stock using odin it worked, but for the modem it doesnt work.
[Vibrant Android Development] peecs121:
How do we flash a theme now?
