Ah ok... gingerblur was a pseudo-rom... made before we were able to install custom roms because we couldn't unlock our bootloader. That changed last month when devs figured it out and thus the newer custom roms. To install them you need to unlocked your bootloader.

Please read this thread for information on how to unlock

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261

Now, since you're already softbricks, running that may not work right now. BUT it's start.

My suggestion- read the thread, follow the instructions and see if that gets you to boot up properly after running the oem unlock.

If not, then download a fresh stock 1.8.3 SBF form the development thread and RSD flash that.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp2gardner:
Ok thank you for your help, will post a question if I come to one. How would I download the stock 1.8.3 SBF if I am stuck on the boot screen? Im feeling like Im in over my head, Paypal donation to anyone who can walk me through this....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysticdrew:
Stock SBFs are in the development forum as well.

I guess first things first, do you have the tools needed

Do you have or know how to use RSD?

How about Fastboot?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp2gardner:
Just downloaded RSD lite and flashed the SBF..

"Open and extract the Fastboot package from above" is the step I am on.. Not sure where to go from here.

The phone rebooted to the same screen that it was at before with the error message but says PASS in RSDLite for the sbf flash
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysticdrew:
Which SBF? The pudding/unlock?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysticdrew:
If you flashed the pudding SBF, then you need to do the fastboot steps next.

Did you download and unzip the fastboot package to your computer?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp2gardner:
I did, I just dont know what to do with fastboot. Do I run it or what?.. THANKS A TON BY THE WAY...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp2gardner:
Ok, I still have the failed to boot 2, but I am now getting the Starting Fastboot protocol support. I dont understand this step..

Type the following command:

fastboot oem unlock
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysticdrew:
let's say you saved and extracted the fastboot files to c:\fastboot

then you have to open up CMD (start - run - cmd )

then cd to the directory it's saved (in this example c:\fastboot )

Now you have to get your phone into fastboot mode (directions are in the link), but in short, as you turn on your phone, hold the down button. THen it should say fastboot, then hit volume up, should say entering fastboot

Then back on computer in the command window

while your in the fastboot directory

type the oem unlock command (specific command in the instruction).

after it's all done, type fastboot reboot.

I have to go now for a while, but if all that doesn't work. I suggest flashing via RSD the 1.83 SBF with Pudding built in.

The download is in the pudding thread near the top "1. All phones If you have unlocked then try to use 2.3.4 update zip from Motorola servers, then revert back to a "pre-unlock" version(1.8.3 or earlier on ATT) you will get bricked! Do not use the OTA via experimental servers and revert to older versions WITHOUT pudding preinstalled in your sbf.

ATT ONLY Get your 1.8.3 with pudding from gitbrew or multiupload."
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp2gardner:
I cant figure out where to type the command in (fastboot oem unlock) i have the screen that came up when i located the fastboot. It has a list of commands, but nothing about oem unlock...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysticdrew:
Is your phone in fastboot mode and connected?

All you gotta do is just type the command in the command window

C:\fastboo\ fastboot oem unlock
[Galaxy S II General] clearcase:
just picked up my new phone, however 3/4g data speeds are crap. speed tests come out at less then impressive (when i can do them) but real world performance is far bellow what the speed test says. i am pulling about 1Mb/s down and about 1Mb/s up (usually less but im rounding), now the fun part, if i try to pull up a website, it is slow as hell or times out. google market also times out 70% of the time. downloading a 1mb app can take upwards of 7 minutes as it pauses while doing this, facebook app usually times out or works for a few minutes and then stops receiving data. all this said, my battery died at noon today because my phone was constantly trying to sync with gmail, FB, google+, etc. if i watch the data activity icon it looks as if my phone repeatedly sends off requests but does not receive data back. i have seen that some at&t users with an unlocked i9100 are also having the same issues, but they seem to mainly be a apn issue. others are using root explorer to change some config files. am i alone? is my phone defective? or is this just my new galaxy s2 ruined by bell?
[Galaxy S II General] ajftl:
right there
[Galaxy S II General] sebkinne:
If I am correct, I think you should be able to experiment with the different modems avaliable for the SII.

For me the newest euro one has the fastest speeds, but that depends on the network and country you are in!

Best,

Sebkinne
[Galaxy S II General] amcghie:
Weird.

I did not have any of those issues so I think you have a dud.

Take it back before you start trying other fixes etc as that's what the return period is for.

I've used it since yesterday (Thur/21) and didn't notice any issues/problems with WiFi, or HSPA+ speeds.

Hrm... mind you I didn't actually use it on Bell, could be their network.

As soon as I got the sucker I rooted / unlocked so I could pop my Rogers SIM in there and it's fine on Rogers.

Actually there is one thing you could check before you return.

Do a *#0011* and make sure your WCDMA says 850 Band 5, if it says 1900 it will be as slow as *$@(.
[Galaxy S II General] akusokuzan:
How is it that you change it to 850?
[Galaxy S II General] robbiev80:
My baseband version changed to XXKG2 when it was originally UMKG2. This is probably why I'm showing as 1900 band when I do *#0011#*.

I'll have to wait for someone to post the UMKG2 modem file.
[Galaxy S II General] hansonator:
Could be Bells network. I thought maybe the custom ROM I am currently using was to blame but I am experiencing everything you are with my sgs1 and have been for about a week now. I'm in Calgary.

Edit : Also I get the best speeds on 1900, 850 is only useful out in the mountains here.
[Galaxy S II General] Idan73:
Dude you do realise that this is quadband GSM and quadband hspda phone. This means if you are on 1900 currently blame your provider or maybe you screwed band selection which is easily corrected. I usually turn off euro GSM and 3g frequencies and leave only our 850 and 1900 bands to save battery so it does not keep searching for 2100 for example.

[Galaxy S II General] chaoszero112:
Bell throttles their upload speeds, haven't touched their download speeds as far as I know.

Speedtest gives me 800kb/s but downloading I get 1.2Mb/s.
[Galaxy S II General] EH15:
Same boat. On Rogers network and only getting ~1.5mbps.
[Galaxy S II General] clearcase:
ok, i am running on the 850 band 5. i did notice a slowdown on my sgs previously but not the timeouts/drop data connections/etc. i just finished a factory reset and lost all mobile net access for about 2 hours but have it back now (kinda). popped my sim out and back into my sgs and am having similar problems with the sgs but not as severe. i guess i can chalk it down to network issues that started up within 5 hours after buying the new phone. talked to the place of purchase and they are saying the network is loaded do to "rib fest" which in all reality only pulls maybe 1k to 2k of people that are already up here cottaging so i have trouble with there theory that the local towers are loaded as really its only one tower thats loaded more than normal. love the phone, wifi speeds and page rendering is retarded fast. i was watching a 720p video streaming from vimeo through the phone and scrolling around the page, it stayed smooth as butter. i just want my mobile internet to work. past that, when i have been able to do a speed test i have got no more than 2Mb/s, a far cry from what the technology can do. I hate you bell!
[Galaxy S II General] pterry30:
I have by Bell Galaxy S 2 running with telus, I am getting between 2-4 mbps download, and 1-3 mbps on upload. I an only getting up to maybe 1mbps on wifi, download or upload. I am using a 2.3.4 custom Darky Rom.
[Galaxy S II General] scorpion667:
I'm getting 3 to 7mbps download on 4g and 1.5 to 4mps upload. Purchased from bell. On bell network.

On my home wifi 16mbps to 19mbps down, 1mbps up right next to the router.

I am using KF3 modem(radio) and it has improved the speeds and reception.. slightly (5 to 10%) but i do find the wifi signal doesn't crap out anymore which as my problem.

Try KF3 modem, put the file on your phone and flash with CWM http://www.mediafire.com/?fnkld9swo6u99

keep in mind there is no official ROM for bell yet so if u flash custom roms you wont have warranty until stock firmware is released for it.

maybe u gusy are in low 4g coverage ares? im around the don mills and lawrence area in toronto.

first one is 4g, second is wifi
[Galaxy S II General] lotacus:
Its probably most likely bell. Its nothing but corporate ripoffs. If this was the U.K they would be out of business. I dont see anywhere near 2mbit in newfoundland either.

*#0011# showd 0 HSPA+ connections so im guessing either bell doesnt have hspa+ here or bell has severely crippled the provisioning in favor of their internet sticks. But even then when a person pays nearly 60.00 a month for an up to 42mbit connection, it states that average is only something like 5 to 8mbit.

I share the same slowness and timeouts as you.
[Galaxy S II General] scorpion667:
It seems they have bad coverage there. Why don't you get people in your area to sign a petition for Bell to install some antennas in the area and send it to Bell... worth a shot.
[Galaxy S II General] gullygossner:
I am on Sasktel and the data on the Galaxy S II is quite poor. I have been getting aroud 2.5 Mbps Up and 2.5 Mbps Down max, this is including build.prop edits. I have tried KH3, KH1, KG3 and KG2 with KG3 yielding the best results. These numbers are about the same as my Nexus S but the Nexus S yielded much more consistant results.
[Galaxy S II General] x-cimo:
2.7Mbps down and 1.5 up with KG6 on Telus
[Galaxy S II General] amandureja:
8 Mbps down & 1 Mbps up :D - On Virgin Mobile, HSPA+

Try flashing the KH3 modem using Odin, it's said to work extremely well on the Bell/Virgin network. :)
[Galaxy S II General] gullygossner:
Just put the KE7 modem on my phone, pulled the best numbers I've got yet and I have tried MANY modems. 6012kbps up and 2633 down. Will continue to test and report back if there is a change. This is on Sasktel with a KH3 based rom.
[Galaxy S II General] ThaiM:
Decent speeds for me in Guelph on Rogers.

*edit* After seeing some of the above posts maybe it's not so decent after all. Maybe I'll try some other firmwares for kicks.
[Galaxy S II General] gullygossner:
Saskatoon with Sasktel, very solid. Finally impressed with the data on this phone.

lite'ning rom 6.2

I bought a Bell SG2, Rooted with CF

Flashed [ROM] Lite'ning Rom v6.1 XXKH3 - Fast as Lightning

Rom is stable and my speeds are good. This one was just done at home. I might flash the bell modem file though and see if it gets better.

Im currently in Toronto with Rogers.
[Galaxy S II General] dimbowawee:
I too was a little disappointed coming from rogers to bell as far as speed test was concerned however I can say I have never pinged over 50ms and always get speeds of 2-3 down and .75 -1.25 up.web pages are far faster to load and time out issues non with stock browser. Went to CriskeloRom and speeds went up to 4-7 up and 1-2 down consistently. I would say if its slow get it replaced and if you just want faster try custom rom .

I've read a number of posts here about great A500 deals...$299 with a Staples coupon and so forth, so I had to add this in:

Saw a sign for our tab at a local Rent-A-Center....$19.99 a week. Not to bad if you don't have all the money up front. Oh yeah, and just so you know, if you want to own it and go full term...only $1500.00! That was not a typo! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] =RW=Jalapeno:
$1500???

So they are making a BANG of a BUCK off this thing?

People could put $20 in a bank account a week, wait about 20 weeks and buy their own!

however, there are people I talked to on a daily basis that would do the $1500 for one...

I asked this in my other thread 3 times, but did not get an answer:

Which department has more authority at tmobile; Retentions or Customer Loyalty? or are they the same?

Thanks
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
My guess is no one knows. Maybe you would have better luck on the Tmob forums?
[Vibrant General] beren28:
Keep asking.

We won't answer till you get to a certain threshold of times asked.
[Vibrant General] kboater:
After speaking to customer loyalty/retentions 2 times in the past 3 days, I think they are really going down in customer service and they will be ATT in no time.

ive had 2 lines with them for over 5 years and never a day late in payments. currently im not under a contract with either line. Until recently, whether under contract or not, they have been able to change your rate plan up or down. now that they have gotten rid of their non contract plans, they said they can not change your plan/minutes without signing a new 2 year agreement. They have a plan with a few less minutes then mine at a cheaper price, but wont change me to it without signing a new 2 yr agreement.

second, Im on my 3rd vibrant, (all under warrenty), and with even another defective phone they wont even consider giving me a different phone; they are sending me a another vibrant.

third, even doing a warrenty exchange, for a defective phone, they want me to pay a $20 warrenty exchange fee, for a defective phone replacement that is under warrenty. At least I got this fee waived as a one time courtesy. but the point is that they are now "nickel and dimeing" customers just like the other companies.

fourth, if I do sign a new 2 year contract, they wont grandfather my myfaves like they used to.

fifth, they had web new specials on free Sensations for new customers. but they said that is not available over the phone.

Bascially my rant is about what made tmobile different from the other 3 companies: There customer service where they would go the extra mile to work with their long time customers. whether that was a rate plan change, different phone after multiple defective units..ect. And the other thing that set them apart was prices and that they did not "nickel and dime" the customers. It seems like this has changed too.

Basically I think tmobile is all about locking customers into contracts before the ATT merger and now they are more like ATT. I feel like their competive advantages, that we all love that made tmobile different (customer service, and prices) are over. Yes you may be on a great plan now, but going forward, they have changed. It makes me sad bc I think the tmobile we all loved is over; with or without the merger.

My rant is over. Thanks for reading. And no, im not trolling. I have a vibrant and love it and used to love tmobile. just frustrated and wanted to vent here in the general section
[Vibrant General] kaintfm:
How did you manage to smash your phones up so regularly? You busting up the screens, or bricking them due to root shenanigans?
[Vibrant General] anishs:
retentions definately lol because they try to keep you with the company by giving you incentives and any deal they can throw at you
[Vibrant General] kboater:
no. first one had for about 8 months and the volume down button randomly stopped working.

This second one has now started to randomly reboot; even when on stock.

both of my Vibrants i have kept in perfect condition without a scratch or drop on them. they have actually both looked 100% new when sending them back...

Im just sad that tmobile is not the same company they were a year ago. After speaking with them several times in the past few days, and all the ads and new plans with data caps, I see VERY LITTLE diff between tmobile now vs the other big companies. maybe a little cheaper plans. but the customer service and customer loyalty that I think we all loved is pretty much gone and the closer the merger is to going through and then once through, it will only get worse.

Im just ranting here because most of us that have vibrants have tmobile and this is the forum i am on most of the time.
[Vibrant General] pepperbreath:
I was a former T-Mo employee so I don't really "speak" for the company but just wanted to address a few things.

1. This is probably the only surprising thing. They've always allowed you to make changes to your plan without resigning. I was able to do this just last month so unless this is a brand new policy, I do find this surprising. I'm more inclined to believe this was a specific case, rather than a broad policy change affecting everyone. I'll see in the next few days when I need to make a change again to my plan.

2. This has always been policy mainly because people get "buyer's remorse" about the phones they buy, not that they're defective or broken. It happens ALOT and if T-Mobile processed every one of these requests, they'd have been out of business years ago. No one does this.

3. Again, this is always been policy and the "warranty exchange fee" is to cover shipping and handling. Same thing as a "restocking fee" that most retail companies have.

4. Once again, this has been policy for AGES and hasn't changed at all. They will not grandfather options with a change in contract/plan. Makes sense, too, from a business standpoint. No company in their right mind would allow people to grandfather $2 internet plans from the late 90's along with a contract plan that'll give them a heavily subsidized, loss leader, android phone that would normally cost $400+. Hell, that's not even fair to other customers.

5. I'm not sure what the complaint is here. Because "web special" pricing isn't available over the phone? The reason why phones are discounted over the web is because it's cheaper to process the order that way, simple as that. Would it be better if they overcharged web orders to make it more uniform with phone or store pricing?

Eh....I know you're ranting but these are things that aren't new at all and has nothing to do with AT&T. If you were able to do any of those things you're complaining about, that has more to do with T-Mobile breaking policy to make you happy than any policy change because of AT&T.
