Anyone have a solid release date? e.g July 15, 2018?
[Nook Color General] djlim4:
I know the knee jerk reaction of a lot of android users against MIUI is that it's too much like iOS.

I thought the same thing in the beginning, but i tried it out and it's really not. I guess the icons are alike but MIUI allows you to customize theming more so than CM7 does.

Theme chooser basically just changes the color of everything.

MIUI lets you customize icons and make it more of your own theme.

I dunno, personally i keep it very simple so i don't even use MIUI, but just sayin, don't knock it till u try it

I did ODIN back to Eclair 2.1 last night and was planning to start rooting and flashing roms. Would you suggest me to NOT do it and if so, what should be the plan of action in such cases?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Go for it.. you are not going to hurt anything. Please report back if the guide works as it should, or if CWR does not flash. You will know because when you go to re install packages it will reboot... where it would normally bring you back to the stock recovery and you would press re install packages again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convotutor:
This is very weird, because i rooted and flashed a new rom/kernel using your guide with my vibrant and it turned out fine.

I tried the exact same thing with my gf's vibrant this morning and got the issue of just rebooting of the phone instead of going into the red Clockwork recovery.

I'm going to try this new update.zip and see if it makes any difference and will post again if it results in a different outcome.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr smap beeve:
Same thing used to happen to me. Your EDIT (unsure about file because I don't need to try it but deleting old update.zip files) works. For some reason, when I would JFD back it would double the size of the update.zip file. I have one that is 633kb on my computer so i have to delete the doubled one, drag and drop the one on my computer, reinstall packages blah blah blah.....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convotutor:
I have a question.

If I use a different version of the ODIN than the one you have on your guideline. 1.85 vs 1.70 does it make a difference? Can I use the 1.85 version?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
No difference
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zee.syed:
I tried that! I tried to Flash a new rom using ROM MANAGER. When all was done, I came back on Stock Eclair and I can't get into Recovery Mode by pressing Vol Up + Down + Power button anymore! However, I did manage to get into Recovery Mode using CWR and then selected to apply zip updates. My WiFi interent wasn't working before but it seems to be working now. I can't find the option to turn on my 3G internet though!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZachLL88:
Sounds like you need to odin to jfd
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convotutor:
ok, so I dont know why but this is how i got it working.

On step 5 of the Back to ODIN guide, it states "Now, You could power off, but you do not need to. Hold in both volume buttons and power for a good bit. Do not have the phone plugged into a usb. Once you see VIBRANT, release all buttons."

At this stage, I turned my phone off and then went into stock recovery to reinstall package. So instead of going into stock recovery from when the phone was on, I went into it from when the phone was off. This allowed me to go into CWM recovery.

Give this a shot and maybe it will work for those who are having this issue too too.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:

i had to do this a few weeks ago because my update.zip was messed up it would just reboot when i tried to install packages im not sure what happened to it though
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saxysaxplayer:
I had this problem myself too! I went back to stock JFD twice, once when coming from CM7 back to froyo and another when coming from Asgard to Froyo (this time).

The first time I use a guide from this forum (don't feel like looking for it atm), it was a guide that I used when I first got the phone to root and stuff... it was pretty long. Fortunately, this time I found this thread and the update.zip works, so basically it's way easier this time around. You might have to install twice for it to work... I'll try to explain what I did.

1. Flash back to stock JFD.

2. Download update zip and put on SD card.

3. Power off phone

4. Start in recovery mode.

5. Reinstall packages.

6. Power on phone.

7. Repeat steps 3-5 and when you reinstall packages the second time it should automatically restart into green recovery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demetris:
This the way to do it and work always :)

Flash update1.zip from attachment after you rename it as update.zip

then you will have root.

Then reboot phone in recovery and flash update2.zip after you rename it update.zip and delete the previous one.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinner:
Hello,

First of all i'm a noob, so I apologize ahead of time if my answer is....noobish. But I'm having problems getting to CWR...at first my phone kept rebooting to stock, no matter how many times I reinstalled packages. Then I read this thread, but now I keep getting a "E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory)" error message....do i leave the update.zip file unzipped in my sdcard directory or do i extract the files...i tried both ways and keep getting the same message. Thank you very much for any help.

*****please disregard, i've since figured it out******* for anyone curious or still having trouble, i simply loaded the update.zip file into my main directory not into the /sd directory, and this worked for me

MD5 Please?

Hey s15274n,

First off I just want to say that s15274n is the F-ing man! Saved my ass the first time I tried to mod my phone. I soft-bricked my phone trying to flee from CM7 RC1 (the bad results may have been due to error on my part so I'm flaming anyone), so I had a friend reflash to JFD (I am moving back to the west coast and had no time to rescue my own ass :D), now every time I want CWR I need to reboot into recovery and then reinstall packages, EVERY TIME! As a result I gave him a rather harsh (and evidently undeserved) cursing out over the phone :o.

Anyway just was wondering if you could bless us with the MD5 for this update.zip

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FReQ Z:
I just flashed back to JFD using Odin 1.7 and the .pit and .tar file from your n00b guide.

I'm using the update.zip from the first post. I still need to re-install packages to get to green recovery. I'm on my 8th try or so.

f.y.i. I'm coming from Simply Honey 3.9 with the GB bootloaders. I did flash the Froyo bootloaders back.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^ not sure I follow... you will always have to reinstall packages to get to CWR, unless you flash something that completely replaces the stock recovery (like a lot of roms do)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FReQ Z:
Anytime I would try boot into recovery, I would get the blue recovery screen. I would have to re-install packages to get the green recovery everytime. I never got red recover, even after installing CWM Premium and flashing recovery through it.

I finally installed Project V and got red recovery.

then i restored from the bakup, then i tried to install stock hboot and turned off the phone,

after that i tried to turn it on but its not turning ON, no LED is flashing, not even goin to the bootloader, m having only black screen, help me plzz
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scythe01:
Ok let me get this straight (your post is abit muddled).

1. You're trying to unroot your Desire Z.

2. Flashed the G2 hboot.

3. Made a Nandroid backup of the G2 ROM.

4. Flashed the Desire Z hboot.

5. Restored the backed up G2 ROM.

6. Rebooted as normal.

7. Your phone is now a paperweight - bricked or semi-bricked.

Correct?

Does the LED turn on if the phone is plugged into a wall socket or computer?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
Two days ago I got a random period of near zero 3g data activity and zero 4g activity at work and even when I got home. Gave it overnight and things were back to normal the next day.

Yesterday did a road trip and things were fine all day.

This morning things were just dandy until 2pm. (around the same time I lost activity on Monday). I have spotty and laggy 3g activity and no 4g activity.

When I say activity I mean I get a signal, have 3g coverage. Same on 4g, I can connect fine but as far as being able to surf or stream. Nothing. It is dead as a doornail. Just zero data coming or going. 3g is spotty it is working right now, just high ping times, or it will just do nothing also.

Have had this phone since launch. No drops, water etc.

Any suggestions? In Philly/South Jersey area.

Did you find the answer to this? i am sending my SGS2 back for replacement. i have the same errors plus the following.

Phone selects speaker rather than earpiece as default for incoming/outgoing calls

Phone on ocasions randomly starts Kies and Voice commands even if there is no physical contact with the phone

sometimes the phone defaults back to a launcher i have never seen before (it is not touchwiz) and i have no idea how to launch it without it doing it automatically.

The faults you mentioned can be bypassed with a battery pull but they are annoying, I didn't have these problems until i upgraded my firmware through Kies to KE7.

It's getting really bad near to flashing stock and bring it back to change device if someone knows what it is could be helpful.

I also have this problem. I think it has something to do with the usb port.

Because sometimes it just scans for media, or it thinks it is charging. Really weird! Then i just put in the charger and it stops for a while. Turning off will just reboot the device. And removing battery and plugging it back it also just reboots the phone.

I hope it is not hardware related...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoollyBully:
I was looking for help for a problem I have but this seems to cover most of the problems I'm having.

Mine has recently started going into a strange mode after shutting it down. I get the battery charging symbol alternating with the "battery overheating" symbol.

The only way to stop it is to remove the battery for at least a couple of hours (if you put it straight back in it automaticly starts up and goes back to flashing the battery warnings) or pressing Power, Vol+ and Home and choosing Reboot.

I have also noticed its very slow to respond to plugging the charger in or out. It doesn't always wake-up and bleep when the charger is put in and it stays showing its charging for some time after the charger has been removed.

I was told that the charger should be removed as soon as charging is compleated but surely overnight is the only time we have available to charge these phones!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
Depending on the custom rom or kernel you are using, it might not support off mode charging.

To avoid having a "problem" with charging the phone in off mode, some developers decided to make the phone boot up when the phone is been charged when the phone is off.

Going back to an official stock ROM fixes this problem.

As for Cyanogen, since built 23, you can charge the phone when it is in the "off" state. Please wipe out your userdata partition before flashing. Do not restore from a previous backup.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bokkoman:
I fixed my reboot problem (rebooting instead of turning off) by letting the battery drain all the way so it couldn't boot anymore. Tried turning it on to see if it really doesn't go on anymore. After that I plugged in the charger and I got the charging-symbol and it did not turn on so I kept it charging overnight while turned off and in the morning it was finished and turned it on.

I also cleaned the usb-port on the phone with a toothpick. It had alot of dust stuck in it which I couldn't see. After that no more problems...for now. They haven't returned for 2 days now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
What kernel and rom are you using? I have not seen the battery overheating symbol on the sgs2.

No, there is no need to remove the phone from charger, when the phone gets to what is considered full, the battery will stop charging by itself.

Are you using the original samsung charger that came with the phone, or are you using a after market charger? Most of these USB chargers do not send a signal on the data lines. When using these chargers, the phone becomes laggy and unresponsive, there is also a delay to register anything on the touch screen. Stay away from these chargers.

For lithium batteries just charge it whenever you feel like it. Lithium batteries have a few thousand deep charge cycles, meaning if you use up all the power, then charge it,you use 1 deep charge cycle. However, if you use the micro cycles for charging, you can charge the batteries a few million times. Leaving the battery on empty for too long will damage the lithium battery.
