[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raffness:
Yes, I checked "re-partition", "Auto Reboot", and "F. Reset Time" when going back to stock rom. That's the rom that's giving me the battery charge issue. I am not using the Sammy cable, but an aftermarket. I will try the factory cable. The port didn't make a difference, but i'll try again. I tried using both Odin 1.7 and 1.3, same result.

Some history:

My phone is a Canadian Telus SGS Fascinate (T959D)...the same as the US T-mobile Vibrant T959. I'm currently on Darky Resurrection Edition Gingerbread with Dark Core Kernel and their own version of CWM...I even tried using CWM from Rom Manager, still to no avail. The Darky Rom was made for the I9000, but still works on my phone. When I boot up, it thinks my phone is the I9000...I get the I-9000 splash screen and my phone info says I-9000 when using that rom. When I flashed to stock T959 rom, my phone still splashes I9000, then "Vibrant". Even using the Darky rom, the 3 button combo doesn't work to get into recovery.

There are a couple of other methods to install MIUI that i've come across. One for the T959, which didn't work. There's another for the I9000, but I didn't try it. There's a third one for the Telus version of the T959(D), but I didn't try that either. In the end, you instructions say to load into recovery and re-flash the MIUI after it boot loops a few times. I tried flashing directly from Darky rom, I got the boot loop with the Cyanogen mod screen, but then can't reboot into recovery still. When trying your instructions from scratch, I get stuck at the stock rom, not being able to reboot into recovery after installing Overstock (freezes on Overstock splash screen).

It's killing me not being able to try MIUI. from what I hear, it may be better than Darky, and it has a version that is just for T959(D).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
Now I believe I understand your problem. This guide was made for the US T-mobile Vibrant T959 not the Canadian Telus SGS Fascinate T959D. They may be similar but they are still different devices and different enough that using my method for flashing MIUI will probably have compatibility issues with your phone. Now you could try following this guide here and then flash the MIUI rom for Vibrant. However I'm not sure if it will work properly and have no way to test it myself.

Your best bet is to use the method you mentioned that you found about for putting MIUI on the T959D. Sorry, I wish I could help you but I don't own a T959D :(.

Hope you're able to get MIUI running, it's really a good rom.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raffness:
I will try it. Hopefully with luck this time.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raffness:
Interesting thing is that i run Darky Rom with no major issues. That Rom was designed for I9000.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
Yes, it was originally designed for the i9000. However the Darky Rom you have installed is probably a ported version allowing it to work on your device.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raffness:
Still haven't tried the tells instructions yet. Two kids = no time. Also i wonder if i flash Dark froyo Rom will your step #7 work???
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
Yes I believe that step 7 should still be the same. However you probably won't have the boot loop issue flashing a 2.2 rom. After flashing it the first time you should be good to go.

I'm confuse in step 7.

why does it instruct to go to the stock recovery first before going to CWR ?

its a bit confusing.

can anyone clarify this for me. thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
You don't go into stock recovery before CWR. Follow the steps as seen in the guide. After step 6 you boot into Clock Work Recovery and go from there (wiping data and flashing the ROM). There is nothing about stock recovery in the guide...

Hopefully this helps clarify your confusion.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dream2011:
Thank you for such a user friendly guide. after trying to install so many different only this one worked. for some reason my cwr (not this 1, the 1 from rom manager) wouldn't access my sd card and therefore i wasn't able to install gingerbread. Also in 1 of your steps you said that it will boot loop and than i will have to flash the rom again but my rom didn't boot loop n it runs fine....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
You're welcome!

Also, if you didn't get the boot loop then don't worry. Your phone will still work perfectly fine. It's just that in most cases people (including myself) get a bootloop when flashing MIUI/CM7 from Eclair (Stock 2.1).

Followed Instructions * SD Card NOT recognized?

In following the directions exact, after I flash Overstock using Odin and then go into ClockworkMod, I am unable to see any of the files on the SD Card or the SD Card?

I followed the directions exact and have re-downloaded and checked the Hash using the Hash tab tool etc.

What could this be?

I have had my Samsung Epic 4g hooked up to my laptop before. Could this possibly be something with drivers on my computer?:cool:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
This guide is for the Samsung Vibrant, not the Samsung Epic 4G. These are two different phones. Flashing the Vibrant version of MIUI on your device would not be a good idea.

Now, since the Epic 4G doesn't have an official MIUI release you'll have to flash an unofficial version of it. You could try the method used in this video to get an unofficial port of the rom installed on your device. His method of installing it should work on your device.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abqdavid:
The phone I am flashing is a Vibrant*

My apologies, I think you misunderstood me:

I use my laptop to flash my phone: Samsung Epic

I am now flashing my sisters phone which is a Samsung Vibrant.

As I said, I am unable to see the SD Card files.

Anyone have an idea for me on this?

===================================

The reason I mentioned my Epic was, I was thinking that maybe because I usually use my Laptop, which has the Samsung drivers on it, that maybe it was interfering with me hooking up my sisters "VIBRANT" to my laptop??? I am flashing a Vibrant not an epic.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
Oh, I understand now. Hmm... This is an interesting issue... You can try to re-install the Samsung drivers. See if that helps. Download and install this program called "Samsung Kies". It will automatically install the drivers for you.

Now for a few questions:

What exactly do you see in CWM? Once you've gone to “install zip from sd card” > "select zip from sdcard" is it a blank screen? Does an error message popup? And one more question, when you flashed back to stock you did hit "Re-partition" in Odin right?

Fix Permissions

I noticed my widgets weren't saving settings at a normal reboot. I reboot so rarely, and only use two widgets - GO Weather and TM World Clock, that it wasn't that big of deal so I learned to put up with it. This was following a flash using your guide a couple of months ago.

I thought I might have a weird flash as I was also not having luck using the updater app in MIUI so flashed again using your guide, going back to 2.1, etc. flashing yesterday to MIUI-112230.

Restored my apps, installed GO Weather fresh, configured settings to celsius, preferred widget skin etc. to reboot and again, not saving settings! Also tried TM World Clock to same result.

Rebooted into CWR recovery did a quick Fix Permissions to reboot, reconfigured widgets to test reboot and viola, settings saved! Issue resolved.

I have read other MIUI flashing guides (alternate MIUI roms) where Fix Permissions is included in the guide. I'm far from being a dev, so you may want someone senior to chime in if 'Fix Permissions' is required post a normal flash.

I suppose the step would follow the last step after 7:

Do not touch the phone for 5-10 minutes after it has booted... Do Absolutely Nothing! This helps clear any possible bugs.

with something like, "Hold the power button for two seconds, select reboot, select Recovery. In CWR select advanced, select Fix Permissions, when done, reboot." In my case, the phone rebooted into CWR. I again selected reboot, and the second time it rebooted into Vibrant screen/normal boot.

Hope helps someone out there and cheers.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
That is very true now that I look. Personally I've never Fixed Permissions before nor have I had any issues with widgets. Today I was planning to update the guide to include other variants of the MIUI rom (Lithium, Prime, etc.) which call for Fix Permissions. By including these roms I definitely will have to include Fix Permissions in the guide as well. For pointing that out here is your first thanks.

Hoping for some noob help

First, I wanna thank you for writing the most helpful post I have EVER read on here! I haven't been a member long because I've never needed to do anything on xda but read so far! However, I am having a lil' prob I'm hoping someone like u can help with! I'm not a total noob, more like the next step up (LOL) but I do follow directions well! My problem is a common one, but posted fixes aren't workin for me so far! I'm running the newest Bali kernel (Bali-CM_2.2.2) which comes with KA7 and the last Trigger CyogenMod 2.3.5 ROM from Roman just before he joined OMFGB. Been runnin BEAUTIFULLY except this issue - 1, I constantly have to reboot into CWM recovery>mounts and storage>mount emmc, mount sdcard, mount data, mount datadata, and mount system in order for my phone or pc to see the sd card at all; 2, since it repartitioned and I now have that "emmc" partition, the internal storage shows 2G of storage instead of 16G - the other 14G is on emmc, where nothing (ie; apps, camera, etc) can see it. I've tried to fix it using adb, but I can't ever get it to see my device! Really luvin CM7/MIUI, just need some space to put it to good use! Thanx in advance, APPRECIATE EVERYTHING ALL U DEVS DO!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roly17:
Hey N00B_IN_N33D, have you tried "very cool alan"s" full wipe in the Devs section?

I was wondering if this can be used instead of using ODIN. Or I was wondering if you have tried this yourself?

It looks like this can be used in the place of ODIN, unless something goes wrong of course then ODIN is the fail safe.

Just curios of your thoughts. Thanks

Hi, I'm new and tried to install this ROM. My phone has stock Android 2.1. I rooted, download ROM manager, updated CWM to 2.5.1. My question is do I still need to perform the step below before flashing Miui ROM? Is it update CWM is same as update CWR? If this step is needed, can I flash Overstock kernel with CWM instead Odin? If this question has been answer somewhere, could you please advise where to look. Thanks a lot.

>>>

6. GET CWR

Download the file below:

Overstock Kernel

Once downloaded move it to the desktop, then load ODIN

Repeat step 3 to get into Download Mode

In ODIN Un-check Re-Partition and Auto Reboot (F. Reset Time should be checked)

Click the PDA button and select the Overstock Kernel from the desktop

Click start. Once it has finished (passed) remove the USB cable from the phone and do a battery pull
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
Wish I could help, but to be straight out honest I've never messed with emmc. Perhaps you could contact Roman about it?

The reason I suggest people use ODIN instead of doing a wipe in CWR is because it not only works much more efficiently, but is easier for beginners to use go back to stock with Odin then having them go through all the menu's to do a factory wipe, dalvik cache wipe, etc.

If you're on stock 2.1 w/CWR then you could skip to step 7.

Thanks!

Oh, if I have a backup of 2.1 Eclair that was taken from CWM, can I use it to restore to go back to 2.1 stock?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
If you Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache Partition, and Wipe Dalvik Cache then you should be able to flash back to Miui with no issues. However, it is always suggested to do a clean install following all of the steps exactly as they are in the guide.

By the way, considering you seem to like ICS may I suggest this Miui theme of mine? It's called Klondike. Check it out here or you can find the link is in my signature.

SGS kernel flasher is incompatible with Miui and other non-samsung based roms. If you want to restore back to the stock kernel the easiest way would be to flash the Kernel Cleaning Script and then reflash the Lithium rom.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micuyen:
Thanks for the info, N00B_IN_N33D. So if I want to flash with different kernels and if decide to go back to the kernel from Lithium rom, I can't just reflash Lithium rom on top? I have to restore to stock kernel 1st before going back to Lithium? I just want to flash Glitch kernel that you recommended.

Anyway, I can't find way to backup just the kernel so I went ahead do the backup from CWM. I flashed Glitch V13.1 but having issue w/ phone calls. I can't hear when someone called in and if I'm on the speaker when I called them, other person said the sound is really bad with echoes or background noises. I then flashed Bali. Did couple of tests and it seems fine. I'm hoping that fixed it. :)

UPDATE: Oh god, the users said the can hear very, very low volume on their end. It looks like Bali kernel has low MIC setting. Any idea how I can increase this? I'll leave this question at Bali too.
