Install from JFD...

I know this is not the typical way of doing the install so I will state this up front, IT MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU!

I was able to get root and install simply honey 3.9.1 from green recovery. The first time I booted up I did get the voodoo bootloop but I then got recovery once again and then I installed it and it worked. I know this is not the preferred method, but it can be done, just not sure if you want to go this route. Follow the instructions at the beginning of the thread to make sure it works. One last thing I was able to do with playing around I was able to do a Nandroid and install SH from Nandroid while on JFD. I did have Root and I also made sure I had the bootloaders installed. I then installed the 1.43 kernel before I did both of these steps I am not sure if that is why it worked, but I figured I would tell my experience with the bootloops.

I hope this does not get anyone into trouble, if you do this just do it at your own risk!

No says GT-I9000 (in Model if that's what you are asking).
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Is there anyway of getting all the descriptions to say SGH-t959? I see some of them are but there are main descriptions say GT-I9000. It is conflicting with some of the T-mobile programs for it says it can not authorize my device. I am willing to make changes in my own build.prop, just did not know if I changed it would it screw up the rest of the coding?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
I'll double check the build prop and repost that tonight.

[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Which app? Just so I can be sure. I'm not sure how I slipped alpha build prop in on you guys. I personally have rc3 on my phone and t959 in the first four slots. T-Mobile mydevice and myaccount apps work here.

Anyway I'll post that build prop shortly.

Processor scaling issue?

Earlier there was a talk about the scaling of the processor showing 800MHz instead of the 1000 or up. I have rebooted my phone and each time it goes down to 800 and when I slide it down to 100 and back up it goes to the right Frequency till reboot. When I first installed the kernels I have been experimenting the difference between the 1200 the 1430 and the 1540 kernels. Each time I reboot twice before looking at the scaling in set cpu and each time it starts at 100 or 800. I do not know what the difference between 3.9.1 with the scaling issues, but I did not have the problems before. I have tried to factory reset and re-install the ROM as well. I know I am probably being a thorn in your side EB and I am sorry for that. Any help with this would be wonderful.
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
I updated the build.prop and you are correct the first four say the right model but the lower device descriptions below that say GT-I900, just curious if there was a way to make all the descriptions say the SGH-T959? IF not it is no problem. You are right most programs work from T-mobile, but one I discussed with you back in 3.8 is still not working, Mobile Security 1.123 is the program. It is offered for those of us who have the Handset protection fee on our account. Like I said it is not a big deal, just would like it if we could get it going. I know I maybe asking a lot... With that said, I appreciate the help, just would like to know if it would mess code up it changed the name in the lower scripting.

Thanks!:D

Just flashed through rom manager this time and worked fine :)

Mine says gt-i9000 aswell but I'm not too bothered

My swype changed back to the older version though, seems smoother but need to get use to it again

Stock music player seems to be working fine through earphones aswell :)
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Glad to hear it worked. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] cmrn89:
alright this is extremely frustrating, but my phone is still dropping calls. I've spent the last hour and a half starting from scratch like I was instructed to do so. I odin back to stock, root, odin simply_odin_heim file to get 3.8 because I could not find any earlier files, sat for 15 minutes, rebooted then placed 4.0 RC3 on my sd card and flashed that.I let it sit for 15 minutes then reboot and tried calling my phone and yet again a dropped call. Tried replacing the phone.apk and still dropped calls. am I missing something or what? I love this rom and would really like it if I got my phone to work cause I really do not want to have to switch to another rom but at this point it seems like Im going to have to
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Manually update SetCPU in the market. It didn't show up as an update available until I searched and I had the option to uninstall or update. Checked before I did and saw the same as you guys. Updated and checked my settings then rebooted and checked again and now its good. V 2.4 now I think and I was on v2.1.1.

Have you reformatted your files via recovery? If not then wipe everything, minus the ext sd... then do a fresh install, if you are reinstalling your files via Titanium, you may have some corrupted information. I would then download all your apps from the market and then have a completely fresh version of SH.. Again you would do this via Clockwork Recovery and the do a fresh install of SH. If that does not work then there maybe something wrong with your phone? Ihope this helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] cmrn89:
how do I reformat files? I also wiped cache and what not before flashing SH and I didnt restore apps through titanium this time because I thought that may have been the problem initially but it ended up being the same thing. I was using 3.9.1 just fine before so I dont know what it could be. When you say wipe do you mean like factory reset or what? And can just I just re-flash 4.0 after wiping or should I start from stock again?
[Vibrant Android Development] xboy1388:
Do u guy recommend simply honey or nightly?
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
seems well faster and smoother already, only been using it like an hour since updating :D

and i wish i used dolphin browser before, i like it how it asks if you want to exit rather than having to do it through task manager :)

good job EB, love it :)
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
When you are in recovery there is a setting go to mounts and Storage, then format system, data, cashe, then go back to main menu and try to install 4.0 from your internal sd card...if you get a boot loop then try once more. If you have a nandroid of a 3.9.1 setup try and see if that works first, if not then try 4.0. if that does not work then reformat and then re-install JFD and start over. But one thing I found is that if you have the bootloaders and a gingerbread kernel then you should be all set when installing them... if you do add a bootloader do not format boot, hope that works...
[Vibrant Android Development] madagex:
@HaCkEdUpViB I am having a similar issue. Its stuck in a boot loop the the robot won't shut up; it keeps saying "Convert data partition....."

The other problem I am having is I cannot connect via USB to PC/Odin. I keep getting the "USB device not recognized" error.

As I was coming from JFD stock I do not even have ROM Manager/CWK/Nandriod installed either and can't get into recovery mode :(

@eb I started off following the instructions below:

Install Instructions and ODIN Package

Install Instructions Coming From Froyo OR ECLAIR(CM7/MIUI ODIN TO STOCK FIRST)

- 1. Disable any Lagfix.

- 2.Download - (noob can't post links) multiupload dot com slash KP8HBPR20Z.... This is the light version with hardly any apps and only one keyboard and 4 lock screens.

- 3. Flash via ODIN. USE 512PIT FILE.

- 4. Let phone boot. Wait 15 minutes and reboot.

- 5. Enjoy. You may now proceed to the MediumOR Large.

[/SIZE]

Now my Vibrant is bricked and stuck in a boot loop.

Please help, I am completely stuck and don't know what to do!!!!

Any and all help will be much appreciated!!!!

Thanks in advance
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
I will check that out and let you know, thanks for your help as always EB your are the man!
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Take your battery out of your phone and then hit up on your volume rocker then hit the power button... you should be in download mode... The first thing though is make sure you have the drivers on your computer for the SGH-T959 and or the GT-I9000. The your computer should see the phone. While getting yourself into download mode you do not want to connect your phone till you already have Odin open so it recognizes your phone. Then install the GB bootloader, then I would flash one of the kernels for GB. Then you will have recovery. All you would need to do then is hold down on volume rocker and hit power, it will then put you in Recovery...there you should be able to install SH from there... Hope this works...
[Vibrant Android Development] Zeno78:
Tried to install WiFi call zip on top of simply honey 4.0 and now stuck in a boot loop. Unable to enter recovery or download.. Any ideas or help?
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
EB said you can just flash over 2.1 or 2.2 if you have the bootloaders, dont bother with odin :)

he said use the odin file if it bootloops but it should be fine

or go through 3.3 then flash 4.0 over it if your scared of bootlooping :)
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Unfortunately it is already on 2.24 and is still doing it :( oh well I guess I will have to try something else... thanks for your help...:(
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
got the GB bootloaders...........??

vol down for recovery

vol up for download mode

didnt he say wifi calling wouldnt work yet, he was going to redo it, or has he already done that
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
tried what someone else said about dragging max down to 100 then back up ??

edit: if you're still on about the 800MHz thing, if not then ignore me :) lol
[Vibrant Android Development] cmrn89:
YESSSS! format system, data, cache and reflashing 4.0 worked! hahaha I dont really understand how that fixed it but just called my phone and it worked. Thank you, and I thanked your post. Is there anything else I have to do? or am I good now?
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Yeah that was me that said that, the problem is I have to do it each time I reboot. It is a weirdproblem...I am confuddled. Oh well will just have to keep resetting it i suppose.:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] cmrn89:
also, is there any way I can disable the unlock sound for the epic unlock? I like the lockscreen but the sound not so much haha
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
If that worked then just install all your apps be careful if you are doing it from titanium it may cause more issues, make sure you have all your apps downloaded from the market before you install from titanium...after you are down make a Nandroid Backup so you will not have to worry about it again if you were to get bootloooped...you can make a back up right in Rom Manager
[Vibrant Android Development] cmrn89:
alright perfect, Ill do the nandroid through rom manager, would installing apps through titanium without app data still cause problems?
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Honestly where you had the problems with corruption I would download from market, You can always add data after, just do it one at a time to make sure you are not going to corrupt you system... if you have space enough on your sd card, maybe do a Nandroid before apps then after if all works out...
[Vibrant Android Development] Zeno78:
need help unable to get back into download or recovery
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Pull the battery out of your phone and then hold the up on your volume rocker as you hit the power button. If you have your phone plugged it you are less likely to be able to get in to the recovery or download mode. I would try first getting into the recovery by holding down and power when phone is off. If that will not work hold up and hit power for download mode. If you get into either, re-install sh4.0 or try the odin file in original op. Hope this helps!
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
dont reboot then :p lol

you looked in quadrant and it said 800 max ??

could try reflashing without wipe then wipe if it still doesnt ?? mine says 1200 in there

if it isnt system data like messages and contact stuff from other versions (2.3.3 to 2.3.4) it should be fine restoring data :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Zeno78:
I was holding both the up and down volume.. That worked perfectly!

THANKS!
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
i said that on the last page, you probably missed it lol

or 2 pages back now :p

Occasionally a complete reformat is in order. Short story, did my girlfriends phone a few months back after she had a rom on there for about 5 months. Didn't matter what I put on that phone or how many times I did a factory reset everytime I would get the same FCs. This is what we call ghosts of Tom's past. It wasn't until I reformatted the internal SD, backing everything up first to a computer of course, that the problems cleared up.

Now I know that the phone issue is specific to 2.3.4 but being unable to recreate the problem, trust me I spent 2 days trying. Short of know exactly how more than one person has setup there phone there's not much I can do.

[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
I am not trying to push you to your limits. I will try another reformat and see if that clears it up. I had done it when I got my new phone and bootlooped... Thanks for all your do and I am hopeful I have been at least some help even though I have taxed the forums with my problems...:) anyways thanks again!
[Vibrant Android Development] madagex:
Thanks for the quick response draigons. But I have all the drivers installed, and even when the phone goes into download mode(erratic not always) the pc still says "USB device not recognized". I had Odin open with a GB bootloader specified in PDA.

Your help is much appreciated :)

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] cmrn89:
Thanks! everything is working great, I was starting to think it was something that was on my phone from before cause I've been trying out different roms to see which I like best. Decided to come back to SH and had those problems but after reformatting I havent had any problems. Keep up the great work, and thanks draigons for all the help
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
when odin doesnt recognise mine i just keep plugging in and unpluggin till it does, took me 2 hours once but that was from soft brick

i dont have the drivers installed properly, my computer wont do it for some reason but it never says its not recognised
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Well I do not know what to tell you, maybe try and put the cord from your phone in a different USB connection... IF that does not work try and restart your pc...sometime windows has a cashing problem where it will remember errors even though you have done something different. I am hopeful that doing one of those things may actually help you. Remember not to connect your phone to the computer till you have ODIN open. If you have ODIN on and it is not recognizing your phone you may try and reboot the phone and have the phone reconnect to the pc. But at this point I would try and reboot your pc and go from there.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] kilo1548:
Sound advice. When ever you get driver issues in windows always try a reboot. If that does not work right click my computer go to computer management then drives. Plug in the phone wait to see the change(you may have to hit f5 to refresh) uninstall the device restart then reinstall the drivers. I had the same issue when I started flash from my laptop with windows 7. Took 3 trust to the the drivers to install correctly. Hope this helps
[Vibrant Android Development] cmrn89:
asked earlier but no reply, was wondering if there is anyway to take off the epic unlock sound, or if I can change it to something else?
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
lock.ogg or unlock.ogg maybe in sys/media/audio/ui

try renaming it to something or move it to sd card to see if its the right 1, is its not then rename it back or move it back to there :)

it'll be 1 of them in there i think
[Vibrant Android Development] tonie972:
I have major issue. Calls hang up after one ring. If I'm on the phone and someone calls, both lines hang up.
[Vibrant Android Development] madagex:
Thanks a lot draigons and kilo1548 but no success :(

I tried a different USB cable, different ports, restarted, had Odin running, and was standing on one-leg...still kept getting the "USB not recognized" message.

Checked the Device Manager as well. When I plugged in the phone it showed-up as an unknown USB device, but did not show up under drives.

I donno what to do! Any more advice?

I hope I don't have to chuck this Vibrant against the wall :(
[Vibrant Android Development] T0N3Z:
had the same problem. tried everything. what solved is reverting to stock and reflashing

I just want to point out in case that it has not being said that there is a new leak from july 15 of the galaxy s 4g T959VUVKG4. Since this phone is similar to our phones and the leak is newer than JvQ maybe this shall be the new base cause is 2.3.4 already. Maybe the GPS is also better.

By the way explodingboy thanks for this rom. Is working great on my phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Delete it from system/media/audio/ui

[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
If I am wrong they are a different Kernel all together. They are not a compatible device for our phones. That would be a wonderful thing is t-mobile and Samsung made them more similar. They can not run our ROMs and we can not run theirs. In a perfect world that would make sense, but I guess they wanted us to buy the new phone is all.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
There are like 5 unlock oggs there. Lock and unlock only happen if you've checked lock sounds in settings/sounds. Puzzel and glass are well puzzle and glass. That leaves twlock. Rename it twlock.ogg.bak and see it that's it. If not try glass and so on.

The only think I can suggest is you look up how to reset your phone via adb. you maybe able to connect to your phone and reset the rom... I am not sure as sure how to do adb, but from what I have heard you can get most anywhere with it... The only other thing I can suggest is if you can you can get into download mode occasionally, that means you have recovery. Hold the down on volume rocker while off, the hold it down and the hit the power button, you should be able to get into recovery and from there you can re-install the 4.0 which will make things go back to normal...
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
When you go back to stock I would suggest that you format the files on your phone while in recovery, then re-install 4.0 from there, just make sure you have a gb kernel and bootloaders installed:)
[Vibrant Android Development] cmrn89:
which file do I delete?
[Vibrant Android Development] cmrn89:
sorry nvm I just saw the other post
[Vibrant Android Development] tonie972:
I can't even boot to recovery mode with this rom and this is my third time reinstalling this rom. After I chose recovery mode then it restarts to a old tv screen then just froze there.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
You don't have bootloaders installed. Check out the bootloaders thread and then try again.

[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Only thing I can say is try adb. There hast to be a way to reset it... I am not sure how to do it but there are tutorials on YouTube and other sites.
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
That was suggested earlier. I guess we didn't make it clear. When you reset the phone with adb you will then be able to get it do you cab download bootloaders. While you are installing the bootloaders, install one of the gb kernels so that way you have recovery to install gh4.0
[Vibrant Android Development] tonie972:
Thanks! That solved the problem.

Edit: Phone still hangs up.

Follow the others post some are reinstalling a diff phone apk.. I factory reset wiped everything all cache then redownloaded rc3 I got hang ups on rc2
[Vibrant Android Development] tonie972:
I do have RC3 installed.
[Vibrant Android Development] vibrant2011:
EB, just wanted to find out if you had chance to post the new prop file? Not sure what is going on, but dolphyn HD is running really slow. It ran great before I reflashed rc3, buy now takes awhile to start up and runs slow. Takes awhile to get the keyboard up as well while in dolphyn. Hoping new prop file will help this. Also thank you for the new phone.apk, since installing it a few hours back, no issues. Thank you for your help.
[Vibrant Android Development] chrystal0925:


Did u reinstall anything with titanium or use a theme b4 on other rom?? U could try the phone apk then
[Vibrant Android Development] vibrant2011:
Not sure if the issue is resolved, but I would suggest reinstalling the drivers. I had many issues in the past with USB drivers and usually reinstall helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Have you tried wiping your dalvic cashe?
[Vibrant Android Development] vibrant2011:
No. I think I can do that thru the recovery, correct?
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
I am still having those damn throttling issues...oh well I guess I am stuck... I just realized that it was doing it and I did not even reboot my phone... This is so weird, I also uninstalled the setcpu in case it was a messed up install and it is still doing it... I will just deal.
[Vibrant Android Development] chrystal0925:
Yes thru recovery under advance
[Vibrant Android Development] tonie972:
No, I didn't. However, I just got it to work by formatting the stuff that was suggested. I would highly suggest the OP to be updated with how to format.
[Vibrant Android Development] vibrant2011:
Thank you. Just cleared it, but the same result. Very slow and sluggish. Everything else runs very smooth.

Ok, uninstalled dolphin using titanium, reinstalled from market, seems to resolve the issue. Thank you for your help.

i tried flashing from anderdroids Froyo and got the partition thingy. So i put my phone in download mode and odin'd back to a completely stock version of eclair(non rooted) and clicked the repartition toggle when i flashed it. after flash put phone back into download mode. odin'd the tar for the gingerbread rom. odin'd bootloaders from download mode, so i could see what the hell i was doing in recovery. used wifi to download busy box installer and the galaxy s unlock and rom manager. transfered simply honey 4.0 from my laptop to the phone. made sure i had busybox installed and it was found in the xbin. fired up rom manager and did the clockworkmod thingy, then flashed simply honey thru rom manager. i did not wipe dalvik and i did not wipe cache. i made a nandroid back up and thats all. phone works beautifully... hope that helps. BTW ( download mode = unplug usb cable, remove battery, reinstall battery, hold volume up and down buttons, plug usb cable into phone, let go of buttons when u see the triangle)
