To run gingerbread roms you need to install the bootloader so you can use recovery and not get the rainbow screen on boot.

The OP has the install instructions from Froyo and from other gingerbread roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] ashokjadav:
i flashed JVT but cannot connect the phone to the computer on this rom because nothing pops up asking to connect the usb storage and stuff?

pls help?
[Vibrant Android Development] bouzouki:
are you using a samsung cable? i had this problem before on a variety of different roms, but when i bought a samsung cable, the problems went away.
[Vibrant Android Development] ashokjadav:
yes using a samsung cable...
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
I had to think real hard to remember what the problem was back when I had that issue. For me it was wifi calling on an earlier version of SH. The one compatible with this latest beta of Simply Honey is on the stock jvs thread, I think. That's the stock jvs by EB. Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
okay so pulled them from stock JVT, but messaging keeps force closing....:( i can't even type out a message....does anyone have a JVT messaging app that won't FC?
[Vibrant Android Development] bouzouki:
this is running bullet kernel...with moderate use....plus working gps
[Vibrant Android Development] Alex9090:
Its worth checking Eugene's twitter feed right about now, Mr. Eb.
[Vibrant Android Development] Emalasto:
damn even with moderate use thats still pretty impressive especially with bullet. I just redid my phone and did a clean flash to 5.1 with Talon and i'm already seeing a huge difference with my battery. Are you doing anything special or UV'ing or something?
[Vibrant Android Development] bouzouki:
off screen with set cpu at 800/400....and 1000/400 on.... it actually went to 1 day 5 hours and it was still at 7 percent..... then i put it back on charger

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

i wanted to try out the talon, but i want to have my gps working, i heard that with talon, you lose gps....battery life is good enough for me with bullet and more importantly i have working gps
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Will do thanks

Edit: Definitely sounds promising if you meant the tweets about GPS. Eugene always was the best at finding those pesky things the rest of us overlook glad to see he's back on Vibrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
also, phone keeps FCing......i really like JVT, but these bugs are too much to just deal with....i'm going back to 5.1 till EB finalizes it....

also, the hercules jvt based ROM here on xda has a ported tmosgs2 mms app. Can that be in the final in place of the current one that fc's? I tried just using it on sh6beta, but it also fc's. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
how do I know what bootlader I am running? I think I might have changed to the GB one, but can not remember.

If I am on GB bootloader, can I just flash this ROM like any other?
[Vibrant Android Development] Tankrat:
Are you on a GB ROM now? If so do you have rainbow screen on boot up or in recovery? If you don't then you have GB bootlaoders.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Hmmmmm, real quiet in here. I hope this means most are having no issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
I did change to the GB bootloader and flashed a GB ROM, but since Odin back to stock & flashed a 2.2.1 ROM. Is the GB bootloader sice on my phone?

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

Is this for putting GB bootloader on the phone?
[Vibrant Android Development] JackieRose:
So i'm wanting to downgrade my rom to the most stable one possible. I dont care if it's gingerbread or froyo, the only "perk" of gingerbread for me would be the Netflix app which i honestly never use, so its not a big deal. But for now, until these gingerbreads can become more stable i need to use something that has working everything...like gps, no reboots on low battery, no random soft reboots, etc etc...is there any certain SH build that everyone could recommend? or is it just a matter of trying them out and seeing which one i like best? I think my biggest concerns are battery life and my phone just freezes all the time, sometimes i can't get it to wake up by pushing the power button bc the screen is just frozen on black. So far, i haven't had any of the force closings with phone calls (which is great) but i haven't installed wifi calling (it's been tough to manage without) but im scared it was causing the issues. Let me know any recommendations if you can :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Tankrat:
Nope, search the forum for the GB bootloaders. The one I use I had to install through Odin
[Vibrant Android Development] Tankrat:
some phones have issues running 1.2 talon. Most of the posts I've seen on this thread to include eb is they use Set CPU off the market to cap the kernel@ 1000 max & 400 min. This seems to fix the sleep problem. it does take a bit of experimentation to get the settings where you want them.

Simple stock is very stable for me. I had issues with honey 6 beta. Honey 5.1 was stable form me as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] Emalasto:
I personally think 5.1 has been they're best rom yet. 6 is still very buggy but i'm sure it'll be fixed soon. I have absolutely no problems except if your using talon theres no gps obviously but you can easily flash bullet. Any of the SH froyo roms are incredibly stable and you can get well over 24 hours for the battery but still its all about choosing the one that you like the best. EB has done an incredible job with providing an amazing fast rom :D

Bootloaders for Vibrant

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117990
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
I'm still on the last SH jvr version with wifi-calling. With bullet, I had no issues except for a broken stock browser and as a result, broken voice search. Switched to Talon kernel and gps was broken too which we were all aware of. Was led to a working stock browser so that and voice search now work. We are still waiting for working gps on SH with Talon. If you flash, just stay on bullet. There are three speeds to choose from.
[Vibrant Android Development] Lieu10ant:
i was on RevolutionRom JVP (gingerbread) with clockworkmod recovery, and i TI Backup'd.... manually wiped data, cache, dalvik, and then installed this zip file from recovery, and it wiped for me automatically (which was expected) and now during its boot screen where it says "powered bay talon sh kernel", the phone simply shuts down.

what did i do wrong? and how do i fix this? thanks y'all!
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
So what is the first set of steps for?
[Vibrant Android Development] Tankrat:
Clean install set up for the honey version you want to put on your phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
Is it something that has to be done?
[Vibrant Android Development] Tankrat:
only if your coming from Froyo and the GB rooms listed in the OP
[Vibrant Android Development] Lieu10ant:

Hey Guys... I am Setting Up My Co-Workers Phone and I Just Need a Few Pointers. I Restored his Phone Back to Stock Using Odin and Then Went on to Flash the Update Zip to Re-Root and Then I Flashed 5.1 for CWM and I'm Getting a Distorted Screen While Booting :mad:

I think I'm officially done... I had the rainbow issue and never resolved it and was just flashing via CWM. Well now it's in a loop and it has rainbows, Im having trouble getting into download mode to odin it. I cant get into download, nor would I know if Im in it thanks to the rainbow. The com doesn't come up on the odin and I tried different ports. Any help will be appreciated! I'm on Simply 5.1

^ I get into a sort of clockwork recovery when attempting to get into DL mode. It's very hard to read but I can make out some of it
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
Do I just Odin with the file in the op or do I need the 512 file?
[Vibrant Android Development] omgsigh:
try holding on up volume instead of down volume? I think the rom changed the button scheme for recovery and download mode. At least that was what happened to me.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
If in doubt always use the 512 PIT file. Besides it tells you to use the 512 pit in the OP.
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
Were do I get the 512 file?
[Vibrant Android Development] hippotek:
@Eb:

Maybe we should have a separate thread covering the basics of flashing SH in detail, so that the main thread could deal with ROM issues rather than repeating procedures over and over again which can be found a few dozen pages earlier...
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
If you really have to ask that question, then you REALLY should NOT be flashing your phone... just telling it like it is...

EDIT: Read the NOOB guide, particularly the STEP ONE part. It shows you where to find the PIT file http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849028
[Vibrant Android Development] Emalasto:

I do have a question too:

How can I disable Voodoo in the SH 3.8 Odin Package PRIOR to flashing?

It would make a lot more sense if this interim step did not automatically enable voodoo (as it did when I flashed it last time) so that one would not have to disable Voodoo twice, leading to two conversions leading to loss of time and increased risk of data loss...
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
If your voodoo folder already has the disable-voodoo (or what ever it is) file within, then voodoo should not enable on a second flash. I may be wrong though as its been a very long time since Ive run Voodoo lagfix.

EDIT: Check the voodoo folder on your sdcard for a file called disable or something along those lines. If its there Im pretty sure your voodoo will not enable itself.
[Vibrant Android Development] Emalasto:
yeah very true

[Vibrant Android Development] Emalasto:
i completely understand that this rom can be a total ***** to flash. one wrong thing and you could end up with a bootloop. but still you need some kind of experience before flashing this rom so its kinda annoyying when theres a ton of people asking simple questions that have been answered several times but i do like helping people out though

My friends using cyanogenmod and he wanted to use the videoplayer from Simplyhoney.

I tried copying to his system/app folder but it just force closes.

Is there a cwm installable zip?
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
I know very little about cyanogen but I think our flashables won't work on that. You can always make your own. Just find any cyanogen flashable zip and open it up to remove whatever is in the system app folder and replace with the video player .apk. If it still force closes then it is incompatible for some reason.
[Vibrant Android Development] Zeno78:
Ok Its been a while since i've flashed this ROM I can't seem to get past the 3.8 Odin .

I started with a Stock 2.2 had issues so started back at 2.1 with AIO toolbox.

I am starting at STOCK 2.1 (ODIN to this)

Then I'm ODIN Simply 3.8 Odin Heim

Wait 15 mins

Then I'm ODIN Bootloader GingerBread Version

am i following the correct order inable to flash the full zip?
[Vibrant Android Development] Zeno78:
Got ROM working fine...

Just have NO Data...

Edit:

Reflashed via ROM Manager the Full Version of 5.1

Still no Data Connection. I have Use Packet Data checked.. I have tried manually setting my Network Operator to T-Mobile also.

Baseband Version: T959UVKB5

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I90000XXJVR-CL425308 simone@debian))

Build Number: Simply Honey 5.1 Full Revenge by SGT

Also at what point do you flash the bootloader to get rid of the rainbows.. I believe i did it after 3.8 odin. Or do you even need to flash it?

Doing a Reflash from start

ODIN back to Stock ...

Then i'll 3.8 then 5.1full and see if that works w/ no boodloader flash inbetween
[Vibrant Android Development] Rayn1328:
screw it i"m going to ask.....coming from project v can i not just flash 5.1 through rom manager with gb bootloaders? all i get is the talon kernal bootloop? sorry for the noobish question. ive flashed everything and this is the first one that has me stumped. thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] Tankrat:
Did you disable voodoo when you flashed the ROM? if not try to reflash with it disabled.

Did you update superuser binary before flashing 5.1? It is in the preferences of the app just click on binary.

Another trick I believe I'd to Odin bullet .tar then reflash talon.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tankrat:
I Odin GB bootloaders after I flashed SH.

I don't recollect if I had to update superuser prior to flashing 5.1 or was that 6beta. well anyway before 5.1 try and update superuser binary; it's in the preferences of the app just click on it.

[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
Edify scripting is required on CWM 3.+. All the modems posted currently use amend scripting.

In the main android forum search for amend2edify by nubecoder. It's a program to convert an amend script to an edify script.

Then take your favorite modem.zip and convert it. It will then flash fine.

[Vibrant Android Development] G1toVibrant:
this is really random.. and I am sorry if I missed it in one of the prior 919 pages..

but..

I downloaded the ROM, from 2 different places.. 2 different computers.. got same FC's when I was done booting it.. I even disabled voodoo and put bullet on via odin.. no bootloops :)

but.. FC's.. dialer and data etc. then no dialer when the phone came up..

I looked around in settings.. by default the "airplane mode" is turned on.. which kills phone and data..

so I turned it off... it tries to connect to data etc.. then.. FC and airplane mode is back on..

what gives?

EDIT__--

I got it up and going...

don't know what was different.. but.. No fc's... only issue now is no data :(

it looks like it is not just me having this issue... hopefully it is something we can figure out and resolve :)

Problems with Clockwork Recovery and Simply Honey 5.1 - installing zip files

Hi all. I'm on Simply Honey 5.1 and was trying to install the zip files in the opp, specifically simply 5RC1Update1.zip and Wificalling_simply Honey.zip

When i boot into recovery and try to install either of the files, i get this error message:

amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

Amend scripting was deprecated by google in Android 1.5

It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the Clockword Mod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update packages.

Installation aborted.

What exactly does this mean? Do those zip packages not work anymore? or can i edit them somehow so they do work?

Also....a different question. Can i use Swype on Honey 5.1? where can i find the install for that?
