[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeJennni:
Ok so im total noob but i need help! I rooted my Vib then tried installing a new rom... i didnt delete anything like i was supposed to so when the rom was finished my vibrant re booted and was way discolored it finally booted but then kept re booting constantly. I then went into download mode and tried flashing back to original with various tar files using odin... Now i cannot get into download mode ive tried every way. when i power the vibrant on now it says: Galaxy S gtI9000... which probably isnt good... considering its the vibrant.. it then boots into recovery mode and none of the options work and down is now up and up is down on my volume to select choices. this is what it says:

android system recovery <3e>

What bootloader are you using? the froyo one or gingerbread?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeJennni:
i was originally 2.2 froyo if that is what you mean :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlochinski:
I'm just curious what you were flashing, in terms of whether you were going to Gingerbread ROM or sticking with a Froyo rom. Sounds similar to a time where I messed up flashing my phone in odin, and since it was a gingerbread bootloader, I forgot that download mode had changed. If you are the same case as I was, then download mode is up volume and power. If its another thing, I probably won't be the best, but I'm sure someone around here will know what to do.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeJennni:
I believe it was Darkys_v10.1_Extreme_Edition rom... When i hold volume up and power then put my usb in it says: POWER RESET or UPLOAD MODE. I just now tried opening odin a com was recognized i opened a pit and a pda and it sayed:

<ID:0/011> Added!!

<ID:0/011> Odin v.3 engine (ID:11)..

<ID:0/011> File analysis..

<ID:0/011> SetupConnection..

and nothing happens lol... thx for the quick responces btw
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fear676:
What I did way before I started flashing roms, is I purchased a download mode jig I never had to use it but I have it just in case.

Try pulling the battery.

Then open odin on the computer. While holding the lower volume button down, plug the phone to the computer.

Odin should recognize the phone and just go back to stock from here. Make sure you read up on going back to stock first. You should check this thread out. It has alot of useful info.

Hope it helps! Good luck.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laylovj:
Yeah.......don't flash i9000 roms on the vibrant..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeJennni:
Isnt the jig designed to imitate the usb into a comp process? I will try downloading these files again and using the eugene thread but my problem is i cannot choose any option in my backwards recovery mode and cant get into download mode. Thanks for responding none the less. I hope this works!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeJennni:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinwrx:
You need to get back into download mode and flash back to stock. Make sure you download what ever rom you are trying to use from another source. Some of the files could be corrupt. Also make sure you do your research!!! READ READ and if you think u know it all... READ some more!

It doesn't hurt to ask people questions on these forums but you have to know what files you have and what you want your phone to be 2.2/2.3/2.3.4 based rom, Start slow go from stock 2.1 to 2.2 then try the CyanogenMod. TAKE your time! You'll be fine :) GL
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeJennni:
I cannot get into download mode. I just bought a jig hopefully that works
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
Hope it works as well. I've seen phones in this case require JTAG so if you need that let me know. I have an order from a Mike G from last night so maybe that's you. If so, it will go out Monday... ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeJennni:
yeah thats me :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel10:
That happened to me once to, all I did was Google how to get into dowload mode the i9000 way, try it while your jig is still on it's way
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeJennni:
WOW!!!!! This just worked.... I downloaded a reg edit.... YAY!!!!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeJennni:
sigh!!!!! i had it working perfectly (almost) apart from being in i9000 format.... i downloaded rom manager from the market installed selected reboot into recovery and now im BACK stuck in recovery and cant get kies mini to read the phone... so i uninstalled kies mini and still nothing after reinstalling it.. keep in mind in recovery mode volume up is volume down... i can toggle between options but power does nothing unless i hold it.. then it just restarts into recovery
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeJennni:
im going to try installing kies mini for captivate :O
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeJennni:
no luck back to waiting for the jig
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeJennni:
Jig came today!!!!!!!! Worked like a charm... Best 8 bucks i have ever spent. Thanks guy from mobiletechvideos.com, your the man!!!!
[HTC Sensation] Narsilius:
I have a car stereo that supplies 500mA max current over USB. Is that going to be enough or should I consider buying a car dock?
[HTC Sensation] Bxsteez:
Yea it will charge the phone slowly. A standard USB on a computer is limited to 500mA as well.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Mig1234:
awesome

Very nice explanation. This was desperately needed for Newbies. You should also put up the resolve for those that get the "manual movi" thingy and think they briked their phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
I would be happy to, Once I'm done with the flashing part I will look it up. I've never encountered it myself, but research can hurt.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hogowner:
Scary..great explanation...the only thing I will add is to go into download mode...you do not have to press the power button....if you hold down the volume down button...it will go into download mode.......

[Verizon Droid Charge] budsy:
What's the skinny on removing the SIM card?

I have seen it mentioned that it must be removed, that it interfered with odin-flash when removed, and not mentioned at all. Any definitive answers? I have personally odined both with it in and out, and have not encountered difficulty either way. Sometimes battery out works, sometimes it fails, same with different usb ports. Fickle little device, but it is forgiving :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
oo hey your right. well you need to tap power if it is off
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
Honestly I always leave it in unless the ROM developer specifies otherwise. I think it has something to do with updating the radio. But I am not positive. A developer or one with more knowledge of flashing probably could tell you. I have seen though if it is in it can cause problems, through reading on the forum. But flashing with stock or leaked firmwares leaving it in shouldn't bother it

For me I've never been able to flash with battery out. A couple flashing tutorials have told me to leave it out however personally i have to leave it in.

Thankyou for mentioning the usb. I probably should mention it is sometimes better to use a back usb port.
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
are photos too big?
[Verizon Droid Charge] theReDkoolAiD:
Great reference tool!!! Will keep in favorites...
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ravanous:
ok coming from a noob,

This is perfect.

Had my DC for 1 day, then rooted, and running froyo humble 1.3,

Tonight, now the GB 2.3.4.

This really should be sticky'd.

Thanks,

John
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
Thanks good to hear. Just be warned 2.3.4 does have some issues that need to be worked out. Not that serious, but you may wish to go with the Humble ROM as you would be getting more support and updates to improve the system over the stock 2.3.4.

Good Luck!

Jeff
[Verizon Droid Charge] code4chaosmobile:
works great

I used the EP1H rom.. debloated verzion, err version.. ok bad joke.. so far so good.. i do like the go launcher, but will go back to my favorite launcherpro.. i'll reply after i've had time to post any issues i may come across.. got so used to rom manager with original droid, odin is different, i'll give it that
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
Once you have the firmware build you want, being froyo EE4 or gingerbread EP1G\H, you can pretty much just flash roms with zips in CWM. Less I touch Odin the better.
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
please sticky this thread
[Verizon Droid Charge] guruleenyc:
Thanks for this very informative and helpful post!

The Droid Charge was funny, the only way to get into DL mode was to remove the battery, plug in the USB and press vol. down. But the ODIN process would fail until I inserted the battery after the fact.
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
Indeed. I have never been able to flash with the battery out. The droid charge can be finicky at times
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
You probably wont see many stickies on this site. Just because we have a "Look here First" thread that this is located in
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
I spent a good 20-30 minutes searching manually and using the site search feature before I finally came across this thread. I didn't come looking for GB info specifically. I was looking for a recent Odin download link. True, in the stickies there is a thread with packs which include Odin, along with 650Mb of other files I didn't want. Odin is a 500Kb file and is essential to all flashing at some point. That's why I feel a sticky is certainly warranted because it contains GB info which is where we are going and Odin links as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] SFniner415:
should voodoo be completely removed from phone before the procedure? and thanks awesome thread
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
Nope I didn't have to. As long as you are going to a stock ROM and not a modified ROM (gummycharged or Humble...) you should be good to go. Just be sure Wipe data and cache (i think you don't even need to do this but do it just in case) Voodoo doesn't even work with GB, so if you download a packaged version (includes CWM and is rooted) of GB you are good to go, However if you download just the firmware itself and no the recovery, make sure you do download a updated CWM from IMNUTS post that is compatible with GB.
[Verizon Droid Charge] godinez:
root

on this flashing process does it require the phone to be rooted?
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
no, typically when you are flashing a custom firmware (rom) it is going to be rooted already, it's cooked into the rom, so you start with a stock phone, not rooted and when you use Odin to flash a custom rooted rom to your phone you are now rooted. Make sense? If you took the time to root your phone ahead of time it would be time wasted because whatever you flash onto it afterwards will override whatever you had before. So in the same manner if you were on a rooted custom rom and wanted to go back to stock unrooted, you just Odin the stock rom package, no ned to go through any root or unroot steps
[Verizon Droid Charge] godinez:
Thanks, perfect explanation.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mickrg123:
Coming from rooting and installing roms on Droid2 and Thunderbolt. Do all roms have to be installed with the Odin program with the Charge? I am put a couple roms on my SD and tried to install but CWM does not see the zip files on SD card. Am I missing something?
[Verizon Droid Charge] godinez:
Will this 2.3 Rom work on a LG revolution?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
thats a completely different phone so I would assume no
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
no you will probably brick it. LG uses different hardware
[Verizon Droid Charge] DaleV:
Great and safe write up. Not exactly correct about what buttons to use for what, but it will work and is noob freindly. Just a few fyi's though, no need to remove sim unless told to do so by dev. Use vol down button with batt out to get into DL mode (again being safe) then install batt so it will not fail during slb. Most important though is if anything happens during a flash, unplugged, fails, PC crashes, whatever, as long as you can get into DL mode just do it over. If it still won't work check your files for a bad DL. I have quite a bit of experience with Odin and heimdall with the Fascinate. The Fas and the Charge are remarkably similar so the concept is the same with a few adjustments. Here is a walk-through for Odin and heimdall for the Fascinate I put together. The files will of course be different, but the programs and the process is (almost) the same. Good reference material anyway. And lastly Odin and PST were made by Samsung for Samsung, never use it for another device unless a dev for your device specifically calls for it to be used.

OP feel free to take anything you want, if you decide to make this a more step by step thread, from the link I posted. Just remember to credit the devs they do all the hard stuff. And if you need a tester for your process just PM me I am always down for bricking my phone cause it CAN be recovered. Just like most other Sammy phones, these things are practically impossible to permanently brick.
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
great! I will throw a link in the OP to your unbricking tutorial.This thread was meant to be openly written so and tips and additions are welcome.
[Verizon Droid Charge] free_spoons:
Thank you for that line. I was spacing on why my flash kept failing. Then I re-read your tutorial, put my battery in and success! Thank you!
[Verizon Droid Charge] SFniner415:
i installed debloated and it says to omit installing CWM if using the roms you posted and for some reason i cant boot into recovery. :confused:
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
Long press power and from the menu choose Recovery, it will then reboot into recovery. Unless that option isn't there for you, in which case you may simply need to flash CWR again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
you could try downloading terminal emulator app from the market... type 'su' then enter, the 'reboot recovery' and if you have it it will boot into it
[Verizon Droid Charge] SFniner415:
Thanks james and ninja. Long press worked. i wouldve did ninjas way but it worked. Thanks again
[Verizon Droid Charge] mr.terry:
regarding the battery in/battery out situation... i wonder if it has something to do with how much chage the battery has at the time of flashing? mine wouldnt go into dl mode with the battery in, but it was fully charged. I wonder if a low-charge battery might allow it to flash with the battery in? just something that popped in my head while trying.
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
from what i seen you should always flash with the battery in. It is backup in case you lose power to USB. If you lose power mid flash and had no backup you could risk bricking your phone for good. Some phones do not like batteries in for flashing. But from what I have seen on the forum most failed flashes are due to people forgetting to put in the batter after entering DL mode or bad rom download. To go into DL mode you "should" take it out, it is easier and works pretty much 100% of the time (providing nothing is wrong with the phone).
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
Make sure you pres and home Vol+ and Home, then while doing that press the power button and hold until samsung is displayed
[Verizon Droid Charge] infg3570:
Okay - maybe screwed here. I followed the instructions (note, clicked PDA) but for some reason, the progress indicator has been stuck on three bars for the last 15 or so minutes and there is a strange notification on the phone (upper left of the yellow triangle - "AX_Timeout")

Can anyone help?

Thank you
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
sounds like the connection to your pc may have timed out... if battery's out put it in for odin flash, if you're on a laptop try a back usb port and make sure the power cord is plugged in. If possible use the usb cord that came with the phone
[Verizon Droid Charge] infg3570:
Thanks for such a speedy response... The cord is the original that came with the phone (only a month old) and the battery was in and it's hooked up to the back of the pc... is it safe to turn off and start over? If yes, I'll try a different usb port in the back
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
it should be fine, I've pulled the cord out in the middle of odining before... of course ymmv

also if that doesn't work here's my copy of Odin 1.3, its older but almost never fails

edit: also you mentioned three bars in odin?
[Verizon Droid Charge] infg3570:
Yes - 3 green bars that have gone no where for more than a 1/2 hr now...
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
I've never seen 3 green bars before in odin, maybe because I haven't used 1.82 version before... only one green progress bar in 1.3 odin
[Verizon Droid Charge] infg3570:
I guess I'll give it a shot (restarting) because nothing seems to be happening.... thanks for your help - really appreciate it.!
[Verizon Droid Charge] infg3570:
Tried again but on a different port and, for good measure, turned off antivirus and all good!!!!!

One issue I'm seeing...my headphone jack doesn't seem to work. I'm trying to use in car with auxiliary port on radio and sound still comes out of phone speaker. Can anyone duplicate?

I flashed the unbloated.

New to DC (4 days) and not sure.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
you need to use the car dock app that should have come with the rom... i think that'll let you output music via an aux cable
[Verizon Droid Charge] sl1ckmcg33:
I'm not seeing a car dock app. I see the desk cradle.

Like I said I'm new to the DC but I'm not sure why a app would be necessary.?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
hmm I don't know for sure as I've never tried it but I have the car dock app on my phone (using Gummy GB rom) and it has a music option so I would assume it means outputting music
[Verizon Droid Charge] bkott425:
Is there a overclock kernal for this rom yet?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
no and there might not ever be unless we get official GB or samsung posts the source... the rom with ext4/lagfix is pretty smooth and snappy by itself so most people will be content with it
[Verizon Droid Charge] sl1ckmcg33:
Well I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same thing
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
what rom are you running? it might be better to post it in the appropriate rom thread since bugs/questions/suggestions usually are better answered there
[Verizon Droid Charge] infg3570:
Btw -able to install gtalk video for 2.3.4!!!let me know if you need it
[Verizon Droid Charge] sl1ckmcg33:
The one posted here...gb debloated.

Something to do with lagfix?

I'll look for where this rom was posted.

Any suggestions for a stable gb?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
I doubt lagfix has anything to do with audio output... there are debloated packages for the 2 newer leaks EP1H and EP1Q if you want to try those, plus the new Gummy rom for EP1Q is pretty sweet. I haven't heard of many audio problems with any GB leaks/roms except for some static/crackling while on call... you could also post in Q&A section, someone may be able to help you better there with your car audio issue

I already got it ;) I installed it over Gummy
[Verizon Droid Charge] sl1ckmcg33:
Okay. Appreciate everything.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bkott425:
which lagfix is everyone using? Nameless won't work and voodoo gets me into a boot loop.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
don't use voodoo kernels with GB... the new Gummy rom packages include a GB kernel that just supports lagfix/ext4, it won't do the conversion for you. You will have to activate lagfix on a froyo rom, then flash the new Gummy package and it will give you GB and keep the ext4

Hey guys I need your advice, I'm getting confused with all these different ROMs and such for the droid charge. I have a Droid and it got stuck in an endless load boot and kept restarting itself (all it would do was show the Samsung screen) after I successfully installed 2.3.4 and used it for about 2 weeks. What I'm looking for is a ROM that I can use that won't mess around with my ability to send/receive any kind of text/pic messages, use my phone, use the internet, or use my headphone jack/listen to music. Also, I'd like to be able to watch NetFlix. Besides that, I need the phone not to restart constantly like it did once I installed 2.3.4 and then I had to revert back to 2.2. Please advise on what I should do now because I'm afraid of it happening again. Thanks a lot everyone for your help.
