You could try the jig probably won't do it. One of the other posts had an option:

"try the button combo for the i900 bootloader. also what sbl where you on and what sbl where you going to when it bricked? the only way I've ever heard of a true hard brick is coming back to the t959 sbl from the i9000 sbl. i've seen countless people recover including me from the phone getting unplugged during an odin however if it was writing ANY part of the bootloader when it unplugged you may very well be sol."

Remember to try the variants of the button combos Like using the battery out plug in the usb and tap alternately the home and menu buttons while holding down the volume keys and there are other you just got to try those oddball variants. They have saved me in the past. Also you may be able to reload the bootloader in adb depending on how the phone reacts and what the computer sees. Also. you might try some google searches with Boolean restrictions (being specific) you might find someone who has had the exact same issue.... worth a try....

Good luck....:)

JTAG or send it back to Samsung for Warranty repair are your two choices.

[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
Guys, for the people about sbl, the Eugene jk2 ROM contained not only an sbl, but a boot.bin (primary bootloader). And if it failed during the boot.bin flash, then yeah, your sol.
[Vibrant General] mugenfiji0327:
Okay I have a similar issue I actually got my phone to boot up into download mode. Everytime I try to flash the stock firmware though it fails. What now? I've downloaded the stock files from 4 different locations and also tried different versions of odin. Also tried different usb ports on my computer. Nothing works. I flashed the gingerbread bootloaders and a gingerbread from before this happened. I don't want to have to send my phone off!!! Please help

EDIT:PROBLEM RESOLVED
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
search riffbox at Google then look who's the nearast person to you that have it.
[Vibrant General] jellette:
This is what I told him earlier in messaging - His cord came out after the boot.bin and before the sbl - this left him with a mismatched set - 1/2 i9000 gb, I think, and 1/2 Vibrant froyo - brick.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Well then............. That sucks............. It is always critical to remember when flashing you have to pay attention, and make sure your surroundings are neat and safe so you do not lame out on yourself...........:eek:
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
The jk2 that you're talking about, is it the Froyo that doesn't brick?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastianlow:
what u mean
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeti.p:
It doesn't matter, which rom you are using. I used the CD-method to S-Off my Desire, but I think it should also work using vmware.

You can't prevent alpharev from changing your splash screen, but there are tools in this forum, which allow you to change it to whatever you want afterwards.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
You can change the splash screen with Android Flasher - It can be found in the Developement sub-forum: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638

If you need a stock ROM, then you can either flash the RUU (You lose Root, S-Off) or flash a pre-rooted stock ROM (can be found in the Developement sub-forum).

S-Off via VMWare can be done, but if you are stuck use the USB or CD method instead (people reported issues with VMWare).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzumagos:
dont try to do S-OFF unless you are running stock rooted ROM

best is to run a RUU, then root, then go s-off

if you try to S-OFF while on a2sd+ or data2xxx rom, procedure will fail, and it might brick your phone (it fails after going past STEP3 - DONT UNPLUG YOUR P_HONE OR U WILL BRICK IT) but i unplugged it, and was ok, then RUU and again whole thing worked
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
I had problems with s-off on my stock sense rom (rooted).

I made a goldcard, rooted, then alpharev would not recognise my device.

Soon as I switched to rooted aosp rom (oxygen) it was fine!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
Just flash stock rooted froyo, done the trick for me.

OP, just search for how to s-off, there are answers to all you questions available. I know that, as i only recently s-offed myself.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastianlow:
So, can i do this?

1. do nandroid backup

2. use froyo asia wwe ruu(im from singapore)

3. root with unrevoked

4. s-off with vmware

5. restore

But err, one question, if i was damn unlucky and brick my device, can i just use the RUU and restore it back?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1069600

Just follow the guide on the thread. If you brick your device, there is no way back. That's why its called brick. There are semi bricks, which can be fixed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2020shyboy:
hi my HTC Desire says PVT1 S-OFF already

this make any difference between AlphaRev S-off?? or i need to go through this method also??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maikoru:
Just install a rom without A2SD (like Leedroid 2.4.1 no-A2SD or Teppic's rom) and then you can S-OFF your desire. I advice you to write the .img on a cd and then boot on this, you won't encounter any issue.

Afterwards you can apply a new splash on your Desire, like the stock one (which is available on alpharev website).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2020shyboy:

[HTC Aria General] tedkunich:
Had been running 7.02 and then updated to 7.03 the other day. I had an occasion to use the GPS yesterday, and it refuses to get a gps lock. GPS Status show 11 sats, yet it never locks. I did the old CM7 > CM6 > CM7 trick and it will lock once, and only once. (this was after turning GPS off and then back on)

Any clues?

T
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
You definitely dont need to do the cm6 fix, that was only for if your gps wouldnt turn on at all. It didnt have anything to do with it getting a lock or not.

Using gps status: Menu>Tools>Manage A-GPS state>Reset.

Menu>Tools>Manage A-GPS state>Download.

Also, do you have your Data connection turned on? Or wifi? If you try to get a lock without one of those turned on it can take quite a while. And try to get your lock outdoors and without moving until you get your initial lock.

If that doesnt do it for you I would first suggest re-flashing a fresh download of 7.0.3.

And finally, which radio are you running? The originaly 2.1 or the updated 2.2 radio?
[HTC Aria General] tedkunich:
Thanks for the response:

I have tried the A-GPS reset and data, without any help.

This fails with either WiFi on or off and out and about ( in car)

GPS was working on my phone with 7.02, but in between the last time I used it, I had installed Tasker and updated the radio (I was getting lots of dropped calls on my morning route) and upgraded to 7.0.3. Restoring my Nandroid 7.0.2 does not resolve the issue, so I do not believe that it is a 7.0.3 thing. I guess I can back the radio update out and see if that was it, not sure if that made any reception difference anyway.

Thanks,

T
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
yea try reverting the radio image and let us know if that fixes your issue. Ive seen other posts from people having issues with the newer radio image. Ive not personally had any issues but every piece of hardware is different.
[HTC Aria General] DroidRunner:
How do you revert back radio images? I have this problem too sometimes. I just exit GPS Test and start it up again and it finally finds my position after I was already connected to satellites.

[HTC Aria General] superman6143:
I'm also having GPS issues but mine when I'm using it if I make a turn the arrow will stay facing the same direction (if I'm facing north and turn east it still faces north) but if I'm at a stop light sometimes it fixes itself I'm using cm7 rc4 I had to the original cm6 back to cm7 GPS fix. It work for along time flawlessly nvr had any issue till now. I haven't updated the radio either
[HTC Aria General] mtnlion:
There has been improvements in the newer releases. You should try updating to a more recent release.

If it works in 66, inferring from the question that it does, then just download 66 on a computer, unzip it, find the Gtalk apk in the /system/app folder, and adb push it to the current nightly you're running. Should work.

[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
This case color is red its bright not dull. So far loving the case. Buttons are the easiest to press volume and power button looks nice just need to find a holster now that fits belt clip one.

Price has come down compared to what it use to be. Hard plastic skeleton is nice lol cheaper than seidio active case .

Anyone have any of these? I went back to stock battery extended battery was heavy bulk and no good cases for them. Not to many to pick from.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Any one found a holster that works for this .
[EVO 4G Accessories] DarkManX4lf:

Here's a green one.

[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Thought that till I got it works pretty good just need a holster I have used a butt load of diffrent case all of them were either to bulky or a pain to use the volume buttons.

This one is easy to take apart and put together buttons feel better then ever and all ports are easy to get to. I paid only 3 for this one on Amazon. Not bad tho.

Ballistic made it a brick which I didn't like. Worth checking out tho cheap doesn't look as ugly when you put it on.
[EVO 4G Accessories] BoomerEvo:
I have this case and its a good little case if you use the stock battery like the open mentioned.

II use the sedio(spelling) belt clip and it fits perfectly.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Wondering about that I found some on ebay tho they want 20 just for the holster. Case isn't so ugly I ordered a black on black one that was a diffrent fishbone case and they sent me the more expensive red on black.

Im just missing the holster. Seidio holster which one the Active one. Thanks again man I tried the off brand holster from best buy with it and the phone didnt wanna fit in there without bending worried I was gonna break the power button or screen.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Which Seidio extended holster or the standard lol too many to list could you post me a link to the one your using man thanks.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
If you're getting a signal, but you can't do anything but emergency calls, it means that specific network's tower is refusing to let you connect because T-Mobile doesn't have any roaming agreements with them.

And there is no way to get around that...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FATEOWNZYOU:
Thats kind of what i was thinking.. the ONLY carrier around there is at&t. So i guess at&t doesnt allow other companies to roam.. gay as hell.. and iv always been curious about the unlocking thing does it mean that i would be able to use at&t's signal on my phone with tmobile sim .. or do i need to put a at&t sim card in my phone. Bc i kno the vibrant is at&t capable... sorry if dumb question
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
Unlocking means sim unlocking, or the ability to use any company's sim, provided your phone can connect to their network.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Longcat14:
The thing is, if T-Mobile has ABSOLUTELY no signal in an area, they have roaming agreements there, even if it's AT&T.

There must be a T-Mobile tower somewhere near there, so it won't let you connect to the AT&T tower with anything else except emergency calls.

If you really need to be able to call someone, go to Wal-Mart or something and buy the cheapest AT&T prepaid phone, get some prepaid time, unlock your Vibrant, and pop the AT&T SIM in your card. You will get data too, since it'll just use some money off your account for data, and you will get 3G since the Vibrant is AT&T 3G capable.
