If power is shorted to ground, it is instant death. The device can be damaged pretty easily in that respect.

I just tin the wire I use and that serves to deliver all the solder necessary.

When I doubt, I use UART to verify if the device has hardware damage...
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Ok good to know. Going to try and move the wire to the bottom center pad now, which looks much easier to solder to. Yeah I tinned the wire as well but it did not hold enough solder on first try. Going to try again in a few.

Thanks again.

I paid for my phone to have the unbrickable mod done to it since it was brick already and I don't have neither the equipment or the skills to do this on my own.

Now, my phone is not staying in the unbrickable mode, after a couple of second arter I plug the usb it goes to the battery charge mode and leave the unbrickable mode (without pressing the power button). I had to be super fast to get the resurrector to get the phone into download mode. Anyone knows what is this?? Would that means that the mode was wrongly made??
[Vibrant Android Development] AdamOutler:
This is normal on the Vibrant. You must put it in Download Mode quickly. It's something with the PMIC wiring. It will enumerate, unenumerate, then reenumerate and then stop.

On this device, I found it helpful to hit the download mode button, type password, then plug in the device, then hit enter.

Don't worry, nothing's wrong.
[Vibrant Android Development] ellopr:
Thanks Adam for responding and for all your hard work. Now my Vibrant is alive again.

Can't wait for alternate OS or get the Nexus S bootloader mod, so we can have ICS in our Vibrants.

By the way to all of you, the mod was done by MobileTechVideos.com (http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-vibrant-unbrickable-mod/

) The whole process took around 10 day including weekends. I think that $30 is reasonable since this is a complicated mod (that includes the shipping back to you). Even more if you don't have the proper equipment. I also didn't find anyone that had the skill or the equipment close to me. After that, resurrecting the Vibrant is very easy as long as you have Ubuntu on your computer (you can install it side by side with Windows using Ubuntu installer on the CD).
[Vibrant Android Development] edgie13:
Adam,

Thank you so much for this mod. My device is modded, but I can't seem to put it into download mode. UnBrickable Ressurector R40 detects my device as "S5PC110", but quickly displays a message that says "device not found". It only displays "S5PC110" for about 8-9 seconds. Just like the quoted post, but I've been unsuccessful at getting into download mode. The terminal displays the following:

Begin Resurrection Sequence

Please wait.... Uploading..

I've tried on an old Ubuntu 10.10 box and on my openSUSE 11.3 box. They both have the newest version of java and I've tried using root and regular user accounts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank you..
[Vibrant Android Development] AdamOutler:
Get everything ready, click the button, type your password, then connect the device and press enter right away.

The vibrant will only stay in UnBrickable Mod mode for 5-10 seconds if you don't immediately upload the bootloaders.
[Vibrant Android Development] edgie13:
I don't get asked for a password. I'm using R40.
[Vibrant Android Development] AdamOutler:
Install package gksudo.
[Vibrant Android Development] edgie13:
That worked! I can't find a gksudo for opensuse 11.3 (my main machine). I'll just use the ubuntu box for this type of thing. Thanks!!!!!

I have been tring to PM you to let you know the device but for some odd reason my messages arent being sent. Anyway I have the Vibrant and soldering iron but i just cant figure out how to do this. I have identified the resistors however if I attemot to connect them I feel like I am gonna end up with an iron plated chip. Plz help my phone is pure paper weight.

Edit: I was just asking for a little pointer to try and learn how to do this but you want to charge me?? I am cool. Ill figure it...
[Vibrant Android Development] yodaddy:
I was able to remove the resistor and replace it with another resistor from an old samsung phone. I used a circuit writer pen from radio shack, it lays down a conductive polymer, which I used to adhere the new resistor onto the bottom spot on the board. "the resistors are so small I could not imagine being able to do this with a soldering iron. I would have probably shorted something out because the amount of solder that needs to be laid down might not even fit on an ants back (seriously!)"

Another note: when using resurector, my phone only went into download mode if I pressed on "only" the volume down button.-I hope this helps someone out there with a brick like the one I had.
[Vibrant Android Development] NCn1:
Hello !

Would u make my vibrant unbrickable? I dont even own a soldering iron mmm.
[Vibrant Android Development] AdamOutler:
Sure. Send me a PM.
[Vibrant Android Development] enelyam:
I have a question Adam, I have done unbrickablemod to this galaxy vibrant. But when i try to resurrect it the phone will show up and the resurrector will recognize it ok. But them it will disconnect itself from the resurrector program when i try to get it to download mode. Have you seen something like that before? Thanks for all the hard work, yet again...
[Vibrant Android Development] AdamOutler:
Do it quicker. that's normal.
[Vibrant Android Development] enelyam:
But ive done it before with the p1000(tab) and the t959v, and yesterday with a captivate. And they all gave me time to type the password lol... Damn i need to get rally fast then... Thanks Adam
[Vibrant Android Development] AdamOutler:
press the button, type the password, connect the phone, press enter
[Vibrant Android Development] enelyam:
Yeah it worked like a charm. But now i have this other problem. The phone will flash just fine, but then it will not boot. Even after flashing the bootloaders, same thing happened to me with the captivate i did yesterday but for some reason i took it apart and then when i got it back togheter it worked. Not the same luck with the vibrant though. The whole process seems to work fine until its time for it to reboot.
[Vibrant Android Development] AdamOutler:
You soldered it wrong
[Vibrant Android Development] enelyam:
Yeap! Seems like theres was a solder point making contact with a resistor. Problem solved also!
[Vibrant Android Development] mikka06:
Hey Adam...i bricked my vibrant today and i want to try your mod but i'm a little bit confused...do i need only to solder the wire or do i also need to move the transistor?
[Vibrant Android Development] enelyam:
I think i can help with that one, first of all is not a transistor, its a resistor. And yes its easier to remove the resistor and solder those two points. Because the other way is to move that resistor to the middle and i think is a lot harder to do. Just make shure you know what youre doing because if you by accident remove any other resistor or simply cant solder the contacts the way it should be it will not work. I made a Vibrant yesterday, and had to take it appart again because one of the soldering points was touching a resistor and the mod wasnt working the way it should. Good Luck with that M8... And again if youre not shure leave it to an expert :)
[Vibrant Android Development] mikka06:
so after i read all this thread for 2 days i finally decided to do the solder trick, i mean to solder the wire between the two pads as i seen in the pictures posted here....my question now is how to detect the xOM5 resistor in order to remove it?
[Vibrant Android Development] AdamOutler:
look at the picture.
[Vibrant Android Development] ellopr:
Hey Adam, just a question a little off topic. Back in October, November 2011, you where trying to convert a captivate to a nexus S using its bootloader. Did you guys ever had any new advances on that direction? I know that you lost your EFS partition, did you got your phone in back in normal shape? I am just wondering is a mod like that would ever be possible with our phones.
[Vibrant Android Development] mikka06:
Ok...i did it and i can get into download mode. That's the good part. The bad part is after flashing with heimdall one-click my phone is not booting. All the flashing process seems fine the only thing is after flashing when the phone is supposed to reboot nothing happens....Any idea?

UPDATE: i am an idiot....after i flashed the bootloaders my phone is back from death....big thank you to Adam...donation on the way as soon as get my new card

[Vibrant Android Development] lebmb:
Hey Adam, I bricked my friends vibrant while updating through Samsung keys from 2.1 to 2.2 and prior to that I had rcmics jb Rom on it. I want to do the unbrickable mod but the pics aren't clear (unless my eyes suck) I microsolder on regular basics so I am good there but I can't really see where. If you have better pics or diagram that would be great

To clarify some more, after kies mini finished 100% and rebooted, the phone never.came.on. there seems to be some activity since I measure a fluctuating current draw from the battery between 200-250mA which starts when I put the battery. I should note, other than that, I have no signs of power, nothing detected in usbview on a windows pc or the resurector on ubuntu. No download mode or anything at all. I tried a USB jig and nothing there either so I think this is the only way out.

Thanks

EDIT: I followed the picture that's on the second page (at least for the connection) i believe that should do it right? I haven't reassembled the phone or turned it on

EDIT 2: Ok so i've known that xom5 had to be removed but I didn't see it in adam's pic in the 2nd post, the 3rd one from the top left is labeled xom6 either my eyes or brain are shot or it's a type, can anyone confirm?
[Vibrant Android Development] AdamOutler:
the 5 looks like a 6. that's the one.
[Vibrant Android Development] lebmb:
lol i knew that had to be it.

thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] AdamOutler:
yep. my image host destroyed the picture. It was clearly a 5 with a line next to it, but the filter they put on it changed it to a 6.

There is no XOM6 so I never bothered to change it.
[Vibrant Android Development] lebmb:
so out of curiosity, how does it change the basic usage of the phone, i noticed in the special instructions, the charging specially might take some getting used to. can the mod be reversed after getting it up and running? i'm thinking no due to the HIBL right?
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
I have the mod done to my phone. I don't notice any big difference charging. The big difference is powering up and booting to recovery. You have to hold the power button longer to power up. When booting to recovery, I hold power only for 3-5 seconds (depending on how fast you count) then press vol+/vol- until vibrant splash screen shows and let go.

???
[Vibrant Android Development] lebmb:
It's alive!

well it's up and running again! thanks Adam and everyone else for your help.

I was a bit unsure because while i was soldering on xOM0 a friend of mine tapped me on the back and without realizing i left the iron on the resistor and took right off. it was a pain to put back on so i was like oh well leme take it out and short the pads. sure enough it still worked though. didn't notice anything different on charging but i did notice the other changes for power. better than not having a phone though lol

thanks again :)
[Vibrant Android Development] AdamOutler:
It can be reversed.. but there's really no reason to do so. Just leave it in. Its only active when plugged into a computer. Otherwise it takes about 5 -10 seconds to start the device.
[Vibrant Android Development] Syndor:
That image looks nothing like my Motherboard, so I'm trying to find exactly where should I do it on my Motherboard, if someone could shed some light into this, it would be great!
[Vibrant Android Development] aselker:
Okay, yeah, that's pretty weird. My motherboard isn't layed out like that. Are you sure that's a Vibrant?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stk23452:
Does anyone know of any battery cover replacements available for the Epic Touch 4G? With this phone being so large I'd like to have a little more grip added to the back so that I don't feel like I'm always about to drop it. I'm not a big fan of full body cases so I'd prefer to just change out the back plate.

Something that feels like the back of the Samsung Conquer would be ideal, it's textured rubber that adds a lot of grip to the phone but not so much that it sticks inside your pockets. I love the feel of that phone.

I'm coming from an HTC Hero and that had a smoother rubber than the Conquer but it still had more grip than the textured plastic on the Epic Touch.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Can anyone recommend some good settings for converting videos for the Bionic thru Handbrake? I found some online but they didn't really seem to be optimized for the Bionic. TIA
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
bump...anyone have recommendations for using Handbrake?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] carzaddict:
I was wondering the same thing, but then I just threw the videos on my phone, downloaded Rock Player and let it do its thing....no more converting
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Thanks for the reply. What's the resolution of the videos you're playing, and is the playback quality any better with Rock Player vs. default player?

The reason for the thread is because I have a lot of movies in 720p format that have choppy playback on the Bionic. I found this somewhat ironic since the video camera allows you to shoot video in 1080p and it plays back fine. So I copied one of my 1080p vids recorded by my phone over to my PC so I could look into stuff like the frame rate and audio settings to try to figure out what settings I should be using in Handbrake. And despite my best efforts, the videos I convert in Handbrake still have choppy playback.

Since the Bionic has HDMI output capabilities, I'd like to find out what are the best settings in Handbrake to preserve picture quality while maintaining smooth playback on an HDTV.

I am running MIUI 1.9.9 and Sav Zen 2.2 Kernel on my EVO. When I use the stock email app for my Exchange account at work the battery stats show that the email app is using between 35-38% of the battery. I have tried turning all the sync options to "Never" but it does not appear any better.

I saw that Froyo had issues with this but I was wondering if GB also still has this issue? Is there any other app that can be used that does NOT eat up the battery like the stock app does? If it was not for this one app eating up so much battery my phone would actually get really good battery life.

I have searched and searched multiple forums. Attempted different methods of rooting. I believe I may have done something wrong in the terminal emulator my first time but my problem is this; I cannot temp root with visionary, just get a black screen after I it says attempting. When I try to unroot, visionary says the device does not appear to be rooted. So cwr can't flash recovery cause it lacks permission. I have the superuser in the app drawer and security is off but when attempting to gain those permissions either through adb or terminal, I get denied. I'm on a stock rom, did factory reset but superuser app still exists. Can anyone at least point me in the right direction? I can't root/unroot, flash roms, etc. Maybe there is an extremely manual way of solving this? Btw first post. Noob video = hilarious.

Visionary has a very high brick rate. You really should have done a lot more research before you decided on how you wanted to root your device.
