I'm in SoCal, running Cyanogen7 nightly 81. (Android 2.3)

I am running Bali, and did both the hardware GPS fix, and the software GPS fix using the terminal scripting.

I get around 10-12 locks, accuracy tends to be in the 12-14 foot range, so the GPS works flawlessly.

I've been a lurker on these forums for a LONG time now, but decided to register and post to kinda give back. In this case, to someone looking to fix up their Vibrant.

If you're interested, PM me. I work for Microsoft, and you're welcome to stop by and I'll show you everything I've done. (Yes, I have an Android phone, and a WP7 phone, both of which I love) If you like what you see, (You will) I'll set your phone up as my way of kinda returning all of the favors other users on this site have done for me, even though they didn't know it.
[Vibrant General] Stargazer3777:
If you already have ROM manager, and have "Flashed Recovery" then you have Clockwork Mod. At this point, should be able follow the Bionix instructions after the CWM point.

Nandroid backs up EVERYTHING, including the Android OS version you are running. If you want to back up just your apps, use Titanium Backup, the premium version lets you do a "One touch" batch restore of all user apps. One thing to remember about Titanium: do NOT back up system data. Easiest rule of thumb for it, "Menu--> Batch--> backup all user apps" then let it do it's thing. flash your ROM, then go into Titanium (Almost positive the free version is part of Bionix) "Menu--> Batch--> Restore missing apps with data" If you have the premium version, you can restore them all with no further input, if you have the free version, you will have to accept and install each app as you go, but they all come back with your saved data.

If you are going to do a FULL wipe (Format storage so the phone is empty) first connect to USB Storage, and move your "Titanium Backup" folder from the root of your internal SD card to your PC. Then, before you run titanium for the first time after wiping, reverse the process. Apps are back.
[Vibrant General] mattb3:
The steps you listed are correct. You also of course need to have downloaded the bionix 1.3.1 zip file and placed it somewhere on your SD card (I make a ROMS folder on mine). As the instructions noted, you'll have to do reinstall packages twice (ie you do it once and the phone reboots into recovery and it looks like nothing happened, you do it again and go immediately to CWR recovery where you can select "install ROM from SD" or similar). From this point on you won't have to worry about CWR recovery, it will always be there. As StarGazer mentioned, when you flash this it will wipe your phones settings and all the apps (but not the SD card). There are a variety of backup apps that can help restore them, but I usually don't mind starting fresh once in a while, especially if your contacts are stored on Google.

Finally, once the bionix finishes flashing and the phone reboots for the first time, expect to hear a voice start talking to you about backing up partitions, estimated times, etc. This is the "voodoo lagfix" being applied, which is converting internal phone partitions from the Samsung RFS to ext4, which noticeably reduces lag on the phone when opening apps and so forth. Good luck
[Vibrant General] Excelsius:
Thank you for your help, everyone. I was able to dedicate a few hours and just take care of it since it didn't feel right to waste someone else's time. Please note that I haven't PMed anyone and if there are readers here who are technologically challenged, perhaps they can take my place and get help from some of the generous people who offered help here.

I currently have Bionix 1.3.1, Bali 1.8.8, and KB5.

To give back to the community, I wanted to post benchmarks. I have some amazing results:

Android 2.1 (everything stock, rooted) - Quadrant benchmark 852 (average of 2 tests)

Bionix 1.3.1 (with stock kernel) - 1504 (average of 3 tests). That's a 43% improvement! Now this is likely due to Android 2.2 rather than Bionix. It's definitely worth going from 2.1 to 2.2.

Bionix 1.3.1 + Bali 1.8.8 (after adding the kernel) - 1852 (average of 3 tests). That's 19% more than stock 2.2 and 54% more than 2.1! This isn't 30%+ improvement that some people here think kernels provide, but ~20% is still not bad, considering that battery life is also very important.

Now as far as the KB5 modem goes, I saw no improvements using GPS Test and Speed Test. My GPS is still at about 50ft accuracy and internet speed is 6000x2300kbps. The real test will come during my 60 mile ride on Saturday.

Right now I am only hoping that the battery will last at least as long or more than on 2.1, despite the kernel.

Question: before flashing with Bionix I had applied the software GPS fix to my phone a year ago. Do I have to do it again or does Bionix already include the software tweak?

Once again, thanks everyone.

P.S: My clock on the phone is off by two minutes from the atomic clock. I noticed that the "Autoupdate" of date and time message doesn't appear when I start the phone. Is there a time syncing issue with Bionix?

Hey, i've just installed the CyanogenMod 7.1.0RC1 2.3.4 Gingerbread.

But when i first unlocked my phone it said that the status bar is not responding. What do i do?

I have tried to reset it. but still no luck.

Any Suggestions?
[Click General] MartnG:
You can try to flash it again! And clear data, cache and dalvik-cache...

Okay i sovled the issue with the status bar :D

But.... My market seems pretty buggy.. it fc. and is just little laggy..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Popsiclestand:
So, I've rooted my TF and been running the latest Revolver ROM for about a week. Everything ran awesome with very few flaws. I also recently RMA'd my dock for the sleep issue and just got it back yesterday.

I hooked up the dock to my TF and it ran great all last night and this morning. Everything charged just fine. I packed it up to take to work, took it out at work and...nothing.

My TF would not wake from sleep. I thought maybe I had suddenly encountered the sleep of death issue that I had heard about but never experienced, so I held in the power button and restarted.

The TF restarted just fine. Booted past the first screen and the custom animation screen. But as soon as it was supposed to boot into the homescreen, it goes blank. The TF is on as I can hear email notifications and stuff, but there is nothing on the screen. I tried booting and re-booting with the same result.

So I wiped cache. Same result.

After getting an MD5 Checksum error from the one backup I had of my system through CWM, I wiped data/factory reset. I actually got past the boot animation and started setting up my TF again. However, the screen was set to auto-bright (I like it at fairly bright) so I started to adjust it. As soon as I touched the brightness controls, the screen went black. TF still on, just no screen.

I booted back into recovery again, wiped data/factory reset again and again it booted up just fine and took me to setup. Went to adjust brightness in the actual settings menu and as soon as my finger touched the brightness bar, the entire screen went black.

WTF? Has anyone else gotten similar experience with your TF, either rooted with a new ROM or not? Not a whole lot I can do with a tablet with no screen.

Here are the things it is not based on my observations:

1. It is not a dead screen. On boot up, the screen works. Animation plays well. I can access the CWM recovery menu.

2. It's not a dead touch screen. I can factory reset and go into the setup using the touchscreen.

Here are the things I suspect it COULD be:

1. Something up with the Revolver ROM. I had refrained from applying the 2.1.1 update as the update immediately after that just reverts it back to the version before the 2.1.1. update. However, I did apply the update after the second time of factory resetting.

2. Something up with my dock/dock software? I didn't have any of this issue before I received my dock back.

Please, can anyone help me out here? Sorry for the long post, but wanted to include as many details as possible.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thaddyusmaximus:
Does the issue occur not docked? Can you use the dock brightness buttons to bring back the screen?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Popsiclestand:
It happens both docked and undocked . Dock brightness buttons do nothing.

I left the tablet alone for about twenty minutes and when I came back the screen was on. Brightness was at max. But again as soon as I touched the brightness controls no screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Popsiclestand:
Actually (after wiping and restarting yet again) I found that even the dock brightness buttons cause the screen ti go blank.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Popsiclestand:
Okay so after searching high and low for others with this issue i found two unresolved threads. It seems to be a software problem that will not allow the backlight to go beyond 50% brightness when not plugged into the charger. I'm at work now so I can't test this for sure until I go home later this evening. If this is the case, then it could be a problem with my root and ROM installation. I will try the following things in order.

1. Restore from backup done right after I gained root access. This is basically my system with the original software. After gaining root, I did delete some things through Titanium Backup that I felt were bloatware. This might have had something to do with it so restoring the original backup should return these things to their normal state. The only problem with this is that when I tried to restore from recovery, the MD5 checksum gave me an error. I have found a thread that allows you to override using ADB and will try once I get home.

2. Unroot completely and flash back to stock. It worked when I was unrooted and stock, so theoretically it should work again.

3. If the above two methods don't work, I'll just RMA it back to ASUS. I already called in and got an RMA number for the issue. At least by doing the above two things I can ready the tablet to be within warrany specs in case it's just a dud and needs to be replaced.

Will update with results.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Popsiclestand:
Results

1. When plugged into the charger (with or without the dock) I can up my tablet to full brightness just as the other couple of threads I read stated. Even with brightness up at full and running on battery (blank screen) there is still HDMI out. Wish I had realized this BEFORE I did a complete data wipe.

2. Had to use terminal emulator and the following link to recover the CWM backup with the checksum error: http://forums.androidcentral.com/epic-4g-rooting-roms-hacks/70519-md5-sum-mismatch.html

It worked awesomely to bring my precious tablet back to stock with all applications I ran previously. Still no change in the brightness issue though :(

Now on to try to unroot and see what I get...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malandro2011:
sounds like you're taking the right steps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Popsiclestand:
I hope so Malandro2011.

Looks like I will have to RMA after all. I unrooted, went back to stock recovery and a completely new install of the most current firmware. No dice. The issue is still there.

My tablet's all packed up and ready to ship off to the god awful Texas facility for repair/replacement. Since they sent my dock back with a bend in the metal near the adapter port, I made sure to take pictures of the entire tablet before replacement as well as leaving a note to them under the RMA slip about the condition of the tablet when I shipped.

My biggest question is what triggered this to happen. Was it rooting and installing a new ROM? So many people have done this without incident it is hard to believe this was the problem. Was it whatever changes they made to my dock? I was running smoothly for a week before charging it in the dock overnight.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malandro2011:
many people have rooted and your the first I've heard with this particular issue so i doubt these roms caused it...but could be wrong.

Seems power related since adjusting the brightness sends more power to the screen or less then the screen fails.

I reckon its just faulty...

I wonder if they'll replace it with the newer models that cant be rooted yet..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Popsiclestand:
Yeah, I agree it seems power related. My unsubstantiated theory is that when they adjusted the I/O board in the dock, perhaps it changed some of the power settings and caused some sort of overload/short in my tablet when I used the dock.

Such a shame to send it back. It was one of the earliest models and beyond this was one with the fewest problems. No light bleed, no stuck pixels, no sleep of death, good QC on the hardware. Here's hoping that what I receive back will be just as good (and hopefully not one of the unrootable new models).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Popsiclestand:
Update for anyone following this thread. Received my repaired TF two days ago. Total away time was around 2weeks. It looks like hey had to replace the entire screen. Looks nice with even less lightbleed than before but the screen has a faint yellow tint that I have heard is common with later model TFs. Not sure if I should send back again as I really don't want it gone for any longer time...

Hello Guys, My first post :)

I just recently bought a 3G Xoom in the US to be able to use it here in Europe, but as far as I read, the 3G will never work here with the existing firmware because this device has been locked to work only with Verizon.

I was wondering if one of the developers here could tell me if I install the Stock MZ601_H.6.1-38-1_Retail_Europe.zip, would the 3G function will work with my MZ600 instead of the existing build HTJ85B and fix the issue?or installing Tiamat 2.1 maybe?

Thanks in advance,

Hi to all

I rooted my Dinc 2 yesterday and was working great tell i flashed MIUI then i went to reboot my phone and now it won't reboot. i tired to reflash the rom and still didn't work and my CWM keeps crashing every time i go in to it. i need help i don't know what else to do. i redownloaded everything i still nothing. is there any way to go back to stock with Odin ?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tnez:
Odin? yeah i wish lol

i ran into a simular problem to day. flash this RUU in the bootloader

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=1038

rename the file to just "PG32IMG.zip" and place it on the root of your SD. reboot to the bootloader and install. the RUU will take you back to 2.2.1 and leave you S-off. from there just re-install CWM, flash the root zip, then take it where you want from there. hope this helps
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] eldiente:
If that doesn't work

Save the contents of your SD card on your computer then reformat your SD card. I had to do that when I first rooted because CWM was not backing up any ROMs.

I usually have my mobile set to WDCMA mode only, as I use the internet quite frequently.

However, I have recently moved house and don't get a 3g signal indoors :mad:

I therefore have been placing my phone into mixed mode (GSM/WDCMA), however, this causes HUGE problems with receiving sms (sometimes 3 hours later).

I use WIFI at home for my mobile and just wondered if Orange support wifi calling, how I set it up and if anyone knows if it will cost me any extra with my tariff?

Please help, the lack of signal is really annoying me :mad:

I spent most of the weekend researching what to do about this very thing. I was rooted but stock rom. I figured I needed a decision on what I was going to do before the OTA arrived.

After a lot of research I decided to go full S=off and install the Virtuous Unity ROM. I like Sense and it is a 3.0 ROM. If you wait for TMOB you'll only get 2.1.

EVERYTHING in this ROM works. None of the

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
Is it your intention to return to stock and run the phone unrooted with the 2.3.4 update or are you just concerned about having 2.3.4 on your phone? If you are looking for the most recent version of of Android OS, then MIUI is currently running 2.3.5... If you havent tried GenerationX mysense ROM, it is the newest update with bloat removed and i think there isnt anything broken with the faux's .7 kernel. Try it if you like stock, I bet you will like it.

I just want to get this straight, if someone can give an answer. My wife's phone currently has iced glacier and I want to go stock GB. If I take the phone to a Tmo store and ask for the update, it will take the phone back to stock and unroot? If so should I at least uninstall super user?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WOLF26915:
You could go to the store or you can download the same T Mobile sdcard update that Gr33nF0x posted http://megaupload.com/?d=N8XGHXJC (IF YOU ARE ROOTED YOU WILL LOSE IT)

1. Download the PD15IMG.zip file posted

2. Put file on the root of your sdcard (don't put it in any folder)

3. go to settings/applications make sure fastboot is unchecked (on 2.2.1)

4.power off

5. push and hold volume down and power till you get into hboot

6. it will scan file when its done it should ask you to update push volume up
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
The answer is yes. If you load the update, whether download the one on the forums here or update at T-mo you will lose root. No need to uninstall superuser, because the update will wipe all data.
