Google+ 2.0

I can only comment on my experience. I own a MyTouch 4G Stock and installing the Google+ app will cause a force close when you try to use your contacts. Just an FYI.

I thought I was the only person to use this feature and I definitely noticed it was missing.

Chords doesn't allow to send photos and throws up a message saying that an update is needed to receive them.

Hopefully, Google intends to make these Google Plus updates available to everyone and also intends to restore the picture share feature in Huddle/Messenger/Chords.

You have to be rooted to install/update system apps.

Instead of installing you may also copy the apks to /system/app and reboot.

Edit: Market works fine on Froyo. Since it's adapted for tablets it's much more useful on the Archos f.e. GooglePlus is NOT running on UrukDroid: Says cannot connect to server and a notification comes up that authentification to google account is required. If I hit that, UrukDroid 1.6RC1 reboots.

[Vibrant Android Development] modfrenzy:
I have spent the last 4 hours searching this forum and countless others. I installed a custom gb rom over my froyo base, which resulted in rainbows. In a panic I went into rom manager and tried to recover my nand backup and now I am stuck in a boot loop with a rainbow'ed clockworkmod.

The version I have is ClockWorkMod Voodoo lagfix Recovery 2.5.1xx in red text.

I have tried every combination listed and I can not get odin to see my vibrant. All I can make out is that every now and then I can get into the recovery menu. From there I can get to the download mode, however I can't read the menus.

All I got is I have to go down 7 to get to the mount & storage option, but from there I don't know where "boot to download" is...

I have looked all over for screen shots to help me narrow it down. Can anyone please tell me how to get to the "boot to download" option in CwM?

I'm at a loss. Also I have not found anyone stupid enough to be in my position so I couldn't find anything useful to help me.

Please help!:(
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
Sounds like you had the wrong bootloaders installed for the ROM you were trying to use.

I'm using Recovery v2.5.1.3. From the intial boot into recovery it's 7 down to the "advanced" menu then 8 down to reboot to Download mode (or up 2).

Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] elry567:
U need gb bootloader
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
Yes, but he can't install it without getting into download mode.
[Vibrant Android Development] Ugelvidg:
I have had this issue. I wound up looking up CwM on google and seeing what the buttons were and using the pistures as a guide to were things were. I suggest doing this (IF you cant manualy boot into download mode.) And flashing to stock. Give yourself a fresh start. Rooting and installing CwM takes all of like 5 minutes, and if you have your contacts and such saved to your sim or google account you wont lose those (so you have nothing to fear).

I have personaly messed up my vibrant many times in wierd ways (such as this) and have found that it can be fixed allways, even without the unbrickable mod this phone is nearly unbreakable. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] djquick:
LMAO!! Unbelievable that in the past 48 hours 3 people posted either bricked or semi-bricked posts in the wrong section. You would think people would take their time in doing a little research in the proper sections.

In any case, here's your answer: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=848737

And before you start criticizing my bashing response to your post. The link I just gave you is about 6-7 posts under yours. So again, if you actually took the time to do a little reading and research, you would've found this.

[Vibrant Android Development] modfrenzy:
Wow, talk about hate. I tried everything, including that link that you just sent me, I can't tell if it is in Download mode or not jerk. I've done this before and I rarely post problems unless I'm really really stuck.

All I see is rainbows on my screen for the clockwork recovery. It's not like everybody else's problem. Maybe you should take a minute and read my full post before making me feel lower than I already am about making a stupid mistake.

@jackdog

thanks for the numbers but I tried them and I got nothing except a reboot back into recovery. I tried 7 down, enter. then 8 down to what is suppose to be reset in download mode but it just resets.... I'm positive that I have that clockworkmod version, damn it!
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
use android screencast to see behind the rainbows, and get yourself into download mode from there

[Vibrant Android Development] modfrenzy:
I've been trying for the last hour to get my computer to read my phone but the only time it sees something is when the vibrant is looping from the boot screen to another screen? ( it's rainbowed out) and then it repeats. I'm trying to download and install the drivers for the damn thing but I'm not having any luck.

Can any post post pictures of the clockworkmod recovery menus?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
ODIN!!! Get into download mode and either flash the bootloaders mentioned above or flash a froyo rom. The easiest way into DL mode is to pull battery, hold volume up AND down, plug phone to PC, re-insert battery.

If you flash bootloaders you won't have this problem again and will be able to flash both GB and Froyo roms (eclair too if you want). Check out the custom bootloader thread fpr info.
[Vibrant Android Development] modfrenzy:
I can't get into download mode because every screen I see is nothing but that rainbow garbage. I've tried every single button combo and odin isn't picking it up! Trust me I've tried all of that stuff. I need a frame of reference. I'm about to post a video so you guys understand what I see...
[Vibrant Android Development] Oxirane:
Unless you're HW locked (which I doubt if you're rooted) then manual-booting into DL mode should work. Do the following:

-Unplug phone. Remove battery, sd, sim.

-Set up ODIN on the PC, put the bootloader file in or the JFD, whichever you pick. If that's bootloader, please uncheck "Auto-reboot"

-Plug in phone with battery out

-Now while holding vol up and down firmly in and power, place the battery in the phone. Keep holding the three keys until ODIN recognizes your phone as a yellow COM port.

-ODIN. Let it finish. Reboot when it says success.

Goodluck, this should work- and I think DL mode is visible regardless of bootloaders. I may/may not be right on that.

---

You could also try adb. Just plug it in and type the command... 'reboot download' I think. Should get you in download mode.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tha Maxx:
Also to even humor you on the Download mode screen being rainbows, the odin would still recognise the phone. if taking out the battery dont work then . hold volume upkey (only) and plug in usb cord. if that doesnt work buy or make a jig
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Seriously we did the whole rainbow screen thing for about 2 full months this past spring. DL mode will never be rainbow, only recovery. It is a safe mode seperate from most everything "we" do to the phone and other than hard bricking your phone you should be able to get into it. I have never heard of DL mode being "rainbowed".

First try to hold both volume keys and power. If that doesn't work try what Troy said and hold volume up and power. If all else fails call a buddy to come and read these directions that everyone is posting. Not trying to be smart but we really did go about 2 months with "rainbows" and I don't remember any bricks or anyone not being able to get into DL.
[Vibrant Android Development] modfrenzy:
I've done all of those steps. I have read countless threads about it. I know exactly how played out it is. I have already ordered the damn resistor to make a jig. Nothing is working and that is why I am panicking. I can't imagine how many people pester you guys about the same damn thing. I'm sorry. I just want Odin to read my damn phone so I can upgrade the bootloader and be done with it. adb doesn't read the phone either, no matter what I do. Thank you for your help, if the jig doesn't work then it doesn't work.
[Vibrant Android Development] kaintfm:
*sigh*

If you haven't yet realized, several of the "old pros" on this forum have placated your lack of reading by posting the steps to solve your problem. If none of their solutions have worked, your phone is dead. Given your inability to find such basic information on a problem that has been thoroughly solved 200x over (Hell, I tried to make a thread with "rainbow" in the title and XDA gave me 900 similar threads on the problem) I suggest you try a simpler phone.

Maybe an etch-a-sketch.

[Vibrant Android Development] modfrenzy:
You know what I don't seem to get is since when is this forum full of assh@les? Seriously. I've put in all of my time to search and I did follow all the steps from what I have found and tried it over and over again. You seem to just want to bash people simply because you think they are a moron. You know what I get that, but I how posted repeatedly that I have looked over those forums and still have the same issue, and all I get is a stupid noob video on youtube. Real mature. The mod can close or delete this thread for all I care, I needed help and thanks to you and a few others on here for making things worse then they should have been. For those of you that posted helpful information and tried to help me thank you. I will leave all of you a thanks. I'm done.
[Vibrant Android Development] kaintfm:
You don't understand how exasperating it is for forum regulars to write long, painstakingly researched guides on how to solve common problems only to have a thousand yahoos ignore it, make their own thread, and then ***** when people get snippy that they completely ignored any and all forum guidelines in posting that thread titled "OMG How do I flash a ROM and how do I root and I can't get recovery to install!"

Your problem is not unique. If you're seeing a rainbow, you have not yet reached download mode. Take out the battery. Wait 5 minutes. Plug the ORIGINAL USB cable into your computer. Hold down BOTH volume keys and ONLY both volume keys while inserting the cable. KEEP HOLDING THE KEYS and insert the battery. Release the keys. You should be in download mode. If that doesn't work, you either did it wrong, or your phone is dead. Try it several times over until you're satisfied that it's one or the other.
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
WoW.. just read through the thread and no one has been out of line... There have been several very good and trusted peeps.. Devs even. . Who gave you an answer. Your problem is jot unique. Download mode does can be a ***** to get into sometimes. Keep trying.
[Vibrant Android Development] Oxirane:
Trying another USB cable/USB port/computer would all be good ideas. If the phone plugged in when you're powering on? Have you ever gotten into DL mode before?
[Vibrant Android Development] imitebewrong:
I don't use the power button at all when I go into download mode.

1. Pull battery.

2. Hold the up and down buttons in firmly.

3. Insert Battery.

3. Plug the phone in.

4. Download Mode.

Try using the method without touching the power button. It works for me. And if you already have then I guess you'll have to just wait for a jig to come in the mail :(
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:

[Vibrant Android Development] wachalookinat:
Hey everyone. Just had a thought on the matter. I seem to remember a time where I had soft bricked my vibrant and every time I tried to enter download mode I would instead, get a picture of a computer and an exclamation mark. I was stuck at this odd screen for a while until someone told me to press a button, which I can't remember which button... But my point is, what if he is stuck at that exclamation point/computer screen, and he doesn't know because he is rainbowed? In theory, that would mean he is one button away from getting into download mode. Does anyone remember the exclamation point/computer screen? Or better yet, anyone remember the button that will get him to download mode from that screen?
[Vibrant Android Development] jrafael:

Also, try without sim and micro sd card.
[Vibrant Android Development] Oxirane:
I've gotten that screen. It's also DL mode, you probably clicked the "Start" button in ODIN. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
Has everyone forgot about adb?

from adb command, adb reboot download.

Done!
[Vibrant Android Development] MStrawder:
He said adb wouldn't recognize his device either. Get the JIG made and follow the bootloader flashing advice. It is definitely the cause of your issue and if you're seeing rainbows, then, as mentioned, you haven't gotten into download mode yet.

Have some humor in your life you ****ing ****. I've read through this thread too and people have been helpful to you. If your done your done. We can't stop you.

[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
If he uses the Motorola USB drivers his phone would be seen through adb. I guess he doesn't really read all about his phone before taking the plunge.

Maybe he should calm down, and go read about gb boot loaders. Even better, maybe he should just get a replacement and stay away from flashing.

Most people on here would be willing to help someone in this kind of predicament unless of course that person can't calm down enough to listen or follow the instructions.

I hope the OP gets through this and comes back to apologize to people who actually offered help.

Good luck Mr. OP.
[Vibrant Android Development] reynaldoj:
Thank you for this thread many people here helped me a lot about the GB Bootloader.

I flashed the GB Bootloader it works great. the Rainbow Issue when i turn on and also the rainbow in Recovery Mode was totally been replaced by GB Bootloader. Before i couldnt get to Recovery Mode because of the damn rainbow issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] Rayn1328:
Tou'che
[Vibrant Android Development] modfrenzy:
Okay just to clear some things up.

Things that I have tried:

- Took out sim and micro sd -> held down both volume keys and inserted battery before and after usb (original) cable. = Nothing. It takes me to what I can make out the recovery screen.

- Held all the buttons down until the vibrant screen (which is the only visible screen I can actually see) reset and then let go - Nothing.

- Holding down only the vol up button and the power button on boot, both with battery already inserted and with the battery left in = Nothing.

- Holding down only the vol down button and the power button on boot, again with battery removed ( for various times, 15 seconds, a minute and 5 minutes) and with the battery in place = Nothing.

- Holding only the vol keys with the usb plugged in and then insert battery = new screen which I can't make out.

- Installed the SDK and abd along with screen quick = computer refuses to see the device. Again tried all of the way mentioned above to get computer to see phone.

- Only way computer recognizes the phone is when i simply hit the power button, it finds 2 drives (which I can not open on the computer) and then the phone boot loops.

- I have installed every driver for samsung and android still nothing. I have tried it in xp and in 7 32bit and 64bit, nothing. I have tried both Odin (program on the whole process to see that yellow tab light up, it doesn't. turning the program on after the usb connected, again using all of the button combos above and still nothing.) and Heimdall with it's detect device, again using every method listed above, nothing.

- When I connect the usb to the phone it automatically starts the boot process, I never see the battery charging.

- I have gotten to download mode plenty of times before using the button method, and the adb method.

- I am waiting for the part to come in, still hasn't gotten here and try that. If that doesn't work, yes my phone is dead.

- Oh I also have used odin to flash back to original firmware 3 times already and know that I need the gingerbread bootloader to get rid of the rainbows. I have a nand backup of my old working configuration and several roms already loaded.

I really don't know what to say or try other than the jig. I'll report back when I get. I honestly believe that I'm in a unique position because I can't see what I am doing on the phone. Also it is frustrating as sh!t that I can't get to that one screen.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
In all that i didnt see android screencaster. You already have sdk and the whole enviroment set up for adb. Get android screencaster and pkug in and boot to the rainbow and what you think is recovery. Now try screencaster. This should allow you to see recovery on your computer.

If you can get that far you should be able to flash something else or boot to DL from there.

And to quote one of my favorite movies..." you are not a unique and special snowflake." and niether is your phone. (a little humor always helps.)

[Vibrant Android Development] Oxirane:
Describe said screen? Does it have little phone > caution > computer icons?

And try another PC, perhaps?

Another thing is perhaps you need other drivers... GT-i9000 or NS?
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
OK a few other things to try...

I'm presuming you don't have the gb boot loaders installed at this point. So my directions are coming from that perspective.

Take out your sim and your sd:

Hold both down and up volume buttons, then hold power (with battery in ) and hold down the power button until you have seen the vibrant screen 2 or 3 times, then let go. This should get you to recovery. if it is blurry still that is fine, try the screencaster as explodingboy said. Also see if adb recognizes the device.

At that point if adb can see it try: adb reboot download.

If nothing happens try this:

Take battery out along with sim and sd,

Plug in USB, hold down both volume buttons and drop battery in. This should get you to download mode.

Ill go through recovery and try to tell you what buttons to push if u still can't get download mode or non blurry recovery. Just give me a few minutes as its dinner time. ;-)
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
OK, i have the red recovery which is one of the first to have voodoo options on vibrant boot loaders:

For me it is 3 up to get to advanced menu selection, the 2 up to get to the reboot into download menu selection.

I tried gb bootloaders on my phone already and decided i wanted to go back to vibrant, it took me awhile to get into download mode, adb was a saviour for me.

Let me know how it goes.

A couple other things to try, different USB port on the computer or a different USB cable. For me the Samsung one never did the trick, but one from blackberry did.
[Vibrant Android Development] reynaldoj:
Just try this. Download the latest Samsung USB Driver

http://www.mediafire.com/?1c3ca4117bm43n6

1.uninstall previous drivers (control panel)

2.reboot

3.install new drivers

4.reboot

then on your phone

Greeting,

i dont think that thread is discussed anywhere else, i spent like 3 days searching for a solution and didnt find any!

regarding the Arabic support as mike1986 mentioned on the latest update of the ROM

Full Arabic and Hebrew languages support! (see the second post)

and on the second post i found this "Arabic language support (version 0.5) for Android Revolution HD 5.2.x (Thanks to Madmack, Brightidea & D69K)" which is supported for roms 5.2.x only..

this is my first time using this ROM which i liked so much! and i dont wanna go back to the 5.1.* version!

i dont know if mike meant that the arabic support is already built in the new ROM but nothing in the ROM is like arabic!

is there any update? or any way u guys can help?

would appreciate your replies, and big thanks in advance :)
