Is my HBOOT normal - why does it ask to start update? what do i need to do to get rid of message?

where can i find the correct update for my Recovery?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi1706:
It asked you if you want to flash an update because it forund a PB99IMG.zip on the root of your sd card. To get rid of the message just delete the PB99IMG.zip. And what update do you want to find for your recovery?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herb1:
ok...deleted the PB99IMG.zip - still got the same message "Do you want to start update"

I try to apply sdcard:update.zip

Get this message:

-- Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip

(No such file or directory)

Installation aborted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi1706:
applying update.zip just makes the recovery search for an update.zip on the sdcard. It is used in the old times to flash roms, tweaks etc I think. Nowadays people just use the choose zip from sdcard option.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johann A. Sutter:
Bootloader not any more present

Hi!

I had a similar Problem and googled for hours without any success!!!

You brought me on the idea, to remove the sd Card, and ... O wonder it works again.

Obviously there was a Programm waiting to be updated as you told on this sd Card and this fact didn't give the possibility, to get into the bootloader, now it works (without installed sd Card again)!

Thanks mouch, you safed me hours, my dog will be glad too, because now I have the time to go out with him.

Hi guys, I'm running atoores miui port and when I flashed it some of the stock Samsung apps got lost. Including the think free office app which I need for school to read PDF files. Could someone that has it give me the .apk please?

Thanks in advance :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Download a cwm version of any rom. Make sure it's a zip file. Extract said zip file, and pull the thinkfree apk file (not sure what it'd be named) out from /system/app/
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Be sure to keep it too. Some ROMs don't have ThinkFree in it. I think Valhalla doesn't either. I made it a habit to add it into all ROMs (in /system/app before I flash), just in case.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
there is a bloat.zip file floating around. it has every app that comes on the stock phone. you should keep that saved in case you need apk's like this.

As the OP, I guess I'll start the ball rolling...

16 months. It took them 16 months to upgrade the camera to what the DroidX was using over a year ago. 16 months to upgrade to a dual core processor like every single phone released in the last 6 months. 16 months and all they come up with is the iPhone 4...s? Really? That's just depressing.
[Vibrant General] PhilUSAF21:

[Vibrant General] hotadef:
i love android but to be honest the 4s is has to be the most impressive hardware phone wise right now. they basicly put an ipad 2 in a phone with a smaller screen. with all the graphic pusing power of of ipad. im impressed. late to the party but i guess the party didnt start until they got there.

so now im waiting to see what samsung and the rest will do to catch up or surpass them the prime may do it with the improvement to there processor and gpu looks like we got to ride this one out
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
The processor and camera is the only good thing about it. But the SGSII is par with that already

[Vibrant General] junglerumble:
was disappointed they didn't up the screen size.

I'm gonna be honest right now, if they make the iphone 5 with a 4" screen, I'll be getting one. I love my vibrant but it sucks I had to root it and put bionix on it to make it useable. now I have zendroid which is just as good as bionix with slightly better battery. that's only 2 roms out of all of them that I found acceptable. all the gingerbread roms are nice but the battery life is such **** and it's not as stable.
[Vibrant General] doug7:
Apple did the one thing that would allow the high end android phone to remain clearly superior..."stick with the tiny screen"

It is painfully obvious when using one of the larger screen phones such as the Galaxy SII that the bigger screen is just a better interface in every possible way.

I think you really have to have your eyes closed to compare somthing like the galaxy SII and the iphone, and choose Iphone.

[Vibrant General] Djapatos:
Like I always say...

I am anti-apple and android for life but the truth is people still gonna buy the iPhone like crazy because its just a preference... once you in to iPhone you ll just stick with it even though that one clearly is disappointing

The fact is ppl who buy phone specs, ppl who want the phone with the best specs... they clearly won't get the iPhone. Only the apple fanboy who would buy... or ppl who don't do anything special wwith their phone.

The best thing about Apple products is how offensive the owners are. The way they react, you'd think you sprinkled a newborn with pepper and ate it.
[Vibrant General] nicxus:
Ha haa! :rolleyes: 16 months for nothing new. Besides a 2 year contract! Silly people
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
At least apple continues to support all their products unlike Samsung

iPhone 4s is kind of brilliant in the sense that its a better phone but looks the same, so as not to piss off all iPhone 4 customers who bought that phone recently

SGSII + lack of vibrant support a little over a year after the phones release is like giving the consumers the finger

Thank God for XDA
[Vibrant General] boodies:
wtf ru talking about.... Sammy has way more phones to update then apples single iDiot phone. And they've been great with my updates.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
Do you have some magic phone that we don't have? Other than Rom Updates from Devs I can't remember a real update pushed out.

For gods sake the GPS still hardly works. LOL

I'm no FanBoy by any means and I only own one iDevice my iPad, but I'd almost sware there is an update every time I plug it in to sync.

The Same people that are staring at the GalaxyS II are the ones I'm worried about. Lets just do another contract with the same company that pretty much told us they don't care enough to update what they sold us, so lets sell them another phone and promise them we will on that device. I'm not sure who's worse the people that bought the 4g --> to 4S or the GalaxyS --> Galaxy2 II
[Vibrant General] jordonlm1:
What exactly is a cheesy penis? lol

Apple is the only company that can release the exact same product with only a camera upgrade and have everyone of their customers upgrade to it. it amazes me!

I am a huge android fan I would get bored of apple products but they are great for the average consumer, all around you have a very well running phone good battery life etc. the only way you get a good android device is after a bunch of hacking/flashing etc. but once that is done our phones will eat apple!
[Vibrant General] teddyv:
The best thing about Apple products is how offensive the owners are. The way they react, you'd think you sprinkled a newborn with pepper and ate it.

and android fanboys are different? come on, this entire thread is about hating a product just because it is made by apple.... how stupid can it get...

wtf ru talking about.... Sammy has way more phones to update then apples single iDiot phone. And they've been great with my updates.

this has to be pretty close to the most ignorant statement ive ever heard come out of someones mouth..... your actually proud of the fact that samsung produces way too many phones to keep up with support, so the folks who shell out $500 for certian products may not recieve any support at all? yea, let me sign up for that.... well i guess i did, i own both a vibrant and a iphone 3gs. the vibrant is great hardware for the most part except the gps which samsung also got away with such poor support on fixing.... (im not on t-moble, im stuck with the crappy gps on mine).. dont get me wrong, both ios and android have good and bad points but fanboy hate for no reason is just stupid....

while android is more open, it is far more buggy as developers have to support way more phones, apps lack alot of spit and polish and usually have far fewer features then the iphone counterparts. the fact that apple puts out one new phone a year instead of 10 or so like a company like samsung makes perfect sence... they can give real customer support.. for instance my iphone is still getting ios5, that makes this the 3rd year that phone is getting updates. My vibrant which is only a year old got one update.... and has been tossed to the curb by samsung, personally that has me really pissed off and my next android will be a nexus or nothing.... but then again if it wernt for MIUI i probably woudltn be using android anymore anyway...
[Vibrant General] boodies:
enter the troll... lol seriously gtfo dude... hiding behind your second account? Let me tell you that I am a very happy vibrant customer. Is that not possible in your iDiotic brain? There is a reason why Samsung is doing so well with their Galaxy series. Because consumers, unlike you, can appreciate a nice product. So please leave and go back to your forums. Ty :)
[Vibrant General] teddyv:
first off, this is not somones second account....

secondly, samsungs is doing so well because comsumers let companys nearly a$$ rape them over poor support for half baked products that they never bothered to do any form of quality control on... and line up for the "next big thing"..... sorry im not stupid enough to enjoy that... seem you are.

I never said i didnt enjoy my vibrant. it has good points, but in the end i still use my 3gs more even though its the older slower phone.... Mostly because when it comes down to me traveling to my next job as an electrician, it will reliabely fire up the gps and get me there, as its jailbroken, its every bit as open as my rooted viberant.

my viberant is however a great video player, capable of playing videos my 3gs would never dream of, and since the iphone is on cincinati bell(same 3g as t-moble)... gets 3g speeds.

so apparently, cause i like iphones im a troll? wow, your very mature...
[Vibrant General] boodies:
It's painfully obvious you're not a vibrant owner. Samsung doesn't do any quality control huh... Haha silly guy. You ifart lovers will bend over and take what apple gives you with a grin on your faces. Go spit your rubbish elsewhere.

[Vibrant General] nerve101:
Well people take there phones serious to the part where they must kill each other for it. I will admit that I do it sometimes. Its not the phone really, its more the people that buy the phone. They think the phone is god or apple is this mythical creature that can not be wrong.

The phone is made for the average consumer. The person who doesn't give a crap if the phone breaks benchmarks of all records. They care about the phone turns on and it last 2 days and get there text and can Facebook and watch some descent movies, with lite gaming involved.

Do you really think they will get blown away with any camera over 8mp? I bet 80% of them cant tell the difference between 720p or 1080p. Iphone's are made for these people.

Android (Google) still need to put there foot down on developers like Samsung (since we are in a vibrant thread) to update their phones to their newest os and so on.

I love my samsung, but without cm7 i would die with touchwiz horrible build.

I think the Iphone is so dummy prof it pisses me off.

I like FOSS. Apple is the antithesis of Open Source. I like my Vibrant, but Samsung's software support has been complete ****e. iOS users have a high level of customer satisfaction, but I'm a geek and like to hack and tweak my toys. It's the Open devs that have made this solid piece of hardware into something great. I'm no fanboy of noone!
[Vibrant General] nerve101:
Wow, Apple is diffidently trying to step it up a notch with this one, "SamsungVibrant"

How can they allow to to even pass the idea up the chain for patent.

I'm so shocked i don't even know how to truly reply to this.
[Vibrant General] accordex:
I don't use iphone or I anything...but you gotta give it to them...their OS is fluid as hell with no Voodoo or whatever..stock..even the 3g/3gs phones...hardware wise they were sh*t and look how smooth they operated...

They put out a 4s with technically outdated hardware, millions buy it, then 6 months later they put out a iphone 5..with outdated hardware...millions buy it...it's not that hard to figure out...they are for non-techy people...they all look/workthe same...people love them and are happy to spend 200/600 on them every year or so...

I can't go a week without changing my rom/theme//whatever...that's why I own an android phone...people with Iphones want simplicity they could hive half a f*ck what processor/ram it has it takes good pictures and gives them any app they want...
[Vibrant General] Praseodyme:
According to you iPhone's simplicity, they are fluid and smooth cause they don't hve multi task... With the iPhone, you can't have a messenger connected while playing or browsing the web...

You can't fastly add music to your phone with what computer you want, same for videos...

You have any themes, alternative apps, and all things to make your phone YOURS like you have in android...

[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
I must admit I was really considering the possibility of switching to iPhone had they released a 4 inch screen device. I can't go to 3.5, no way.

Plus, Apple is turning into a big troll with all their patent lawsuits. They just filed a patent for in-app purchases. REALLY? wtf

NEXUS PRIME HURRY!
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I'm a Vibrant owner.

No, they don't.

The phone was laggy as hell out of the gate, with a faulty GPS. It was a known issue on the i9k months before the Vibrant was released. Samsung did absolutely nothing to fix it. They released the device with RFS and a crap GPS, anyways. FroYo took forever to get on the phone, and it's still buggy.

Counter Widgets (Gmail Read count, etc.) do not align properly with application icons on the home screen. Kernel bugs kept apps like Skype off the phone for months until an update was released. Apps like twitter bug out on this phone and cause media playback to break until you reboot the device.

It's still laggy as hell without a lag fix. It still has terrible GPS functionality (slow and inaccurate compared to mid-ranged devices from 2009).

IRT Devices. Apple is still supporting:

iPhone 3GS

iPhone 4

iPhone 4S (Coming Soon)

iPad

iPad 2

iTouch 3

iTouch 4

That's 7 devices. They still manage to get their updates to all of their devices on the same day. Security patches and bug fixes are deployed very quickly. All of those devices are getting the iOS 5 update, at the same time on the same day, instantly available to download through iTunes.

The same cannot be said for any other smartphone platform. Not Android, not BB, not WP7, not Symbian... None of them.

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

You get PUSH notifications for all of that on iOS, and with the revamped Notification system, that won't be an issue. I'm pretty sure some of the in-built apps multi-task, though, similar to some apps on WP7 which multi-tasks somewhat similar to iOS for 3rd party apps.
[Vibrant General] Dan_Brutal:
So go buy an iPhone since your on apples nuts so bad.
[Vibrant General] MailenJokerbell:
I would never buy an iPhone, too ****ing expensive and isn't that much fun.

I do admit iOS is a pretty cool guy.

Though not enough to make me buy an iPhone.

Most I'd do is buy an iPod Touch 4, but that's it.

The iPad is too ****ing expensive, too.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Template response from someone who can't think of any decent retort to the facts presented. I got it. You were wrong, but you don't want to admit it. You'd rather be an ass about it, instead!

I can tell you that when my Contract for the Vibrant is up for renewal I don't think I'll be replacing it with an Android phone.

I don't use the Vibrant as my daily driver anymore, since the WP7.5 update. It has a SIM with a 200 MB data plan in it. I use rarely these days and I'm about ready to list it on Craigslist for a bargain.
[Vibrant General] SeanFloyd:
Only thing I wish Android (especially Samsung phones) was that the build quality was up to par with iPhones. Other than that, I've not once wished I had one instead of a Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I can care less about external build quality, TBH. My phones go in a case on day one and never leave it unless I have to clean them or pull the battery. I care about support and performance more than that.

There are a log of concessions that I'm willing to make right now for a device that I can be sure won't fall out of support in record time like this one, and also performs well. Specs are so high across the board that I barely care about them anymore. Any high end smartphone can be assumed to come with decent specs these days.
[Vibrant General] boodies:
really... u're coming at me with 7 devices... okay, lets compared that with the number of phones Samsung has to update.
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
maybe you should compare it to the number of phones samsung actually does update

So many people I know are getting the iPhone 4S, it is really disturbing me.

It surprises me how little people really know about smartphones. If I hear one more person thinking Siri is something new I'm going to go crazy.

"Oh look I can talk to my phone and tell it to call my mom." No ****, you could do that for several years now.

NO offense to girls, but girls are the worst offenders. I know this girl who always says iPhone is the best phone ever, yet the only thing she does on it is text and make calls. She never uses the browser, she has never gone into her app store, she doesn't use GPS, she knows nothing about the phone yet says it's the best phone ever. Other girls I know want the iPhone because "it's cute and all their friends have it."

People lining up at Apple stores to get that piece of crap amazes me.
