[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
I just spent another hour on here and Android forums, and basically all the the threads are one or two posts, with no resolution to the OP, and none of the downloads links anywhere are working. I'm pretty patient but I'm ready to give up. Does anyone want to trade a soft bricked T959D in mint condition for any old beatup HTC that works? :-) I've had my fill of Samsung's now.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
No trade sorry but if you want to donate shoot me a pm.

Before you dump it, give me some time to look into this and I'll see if I can get you up and running with some files. Sammys are way user friendly unless you aren't doing something right, then you could always go back to stock.

Hold the phone. Haha. I'll get back to you.

You too ciditin
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
Thanks Woodrube, I will definitely wait patiently as long as I know I'm going to be able to sort it out eventually. I'm busy with schoolwork so even though I enjoy this kind of thing I hate spending hours upon hours on it just trying to get the phone operational again.

I've been spoiled by my htc desire, it's been almost foolproof to do anything after spending a short time reading a few FAQ's and there have been no close calls. Soon I'll probably try an ICS rom once they get a bit more stable.

I will definitely do a donate if you can help me get it going with a decent rom. I would love to have lag fix on it since my girlfriend is a bit annoyed at the lag.

Since I got my first Android phone in August 2010, I've rooted and rom'd an LG Shine Plus, LG Optimus One, HTC Desire, the T959D and Galaxy S2 T989D (sold after I got it on an early renewal). I also had to fix my sisters I9000M after a failed 2.3 update operation. So I'm no expert on this, but I've got a little bit of experience messing around with stuff. Just they all require different processes, different programs to do the job, so you have to relearn it for every new phone.

The Samsung's have been the biggest pain compared to the others, but I think it's mostly because the Canadian versions are always slightly different than the Tmobile version, but besides that Samsung always has several different versions of the same.

If I get this thing up and running again I will probably check out your GPS fix thread, cause the GPS on this phone would lock on but it was way out to lunch. Like 6 streets away from us out to lunch.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciditin:
I found the way to fix my problem, hopefully it'll fix yours.

I was able to restore my stock.

Here is what you have to do.

WARNING!!! THIS WILL WIPE ANY DATA ON YOUR DEVICE, IT WILL REPLACE YOUR BASEBAND, KERNEL, RECOVERY AND OS.

DOWNLOADS:

ODIN application

512 PIT file - I can't post link so pm me

T-Mobile Vibrant JFD Image – I can't post link so pm me

USB Drivers from the Samsung Galaxy S – 32 Bit Windows Download \ 64 Bit Windows Download (again I can't post link, yet)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Turn off your phone (remove battery, and usb cable to pc).

2. Plug usb cable to your phone (this is just for easy to connect to the PC in the next step), do NOT connect it to your pc just yet.

3. Get your phone into DOWNLOAD mode by holding the Volume Up, Volume down, and plug your usb cable to your PC. A yellow digging Android sign should be on the screen of your phone. This may take a few tries to get it right.

3. Launch ODIN.The third box dow from the top-left box should then say a COM port (the box under the top-left box should be yellow).

4. In ODIN, load each file with its corresponding field:

___a. Click PIT and select *.pit file extracting from the 512 PIT file above.

___b. Click PDA and select the *.tar, stock JFD file.

5. Don’t check anything else, the other two boxes should be checked by default (Auto Reboot and Reset Time)

6. Hit “start.” Be patient for a couple minutes! (The bar under the top left box should show the progress, and on you phone, too)

7. You should have your Vibrant back in with stock configuration.

Good luck!

NOTE: COM3 worked fine for me. COM should not matter as long as you are using the correct drivers.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Ok. I wasn't soliciting for a monetary donation, I was just going off that you wanted to trade. I can't trade but if you ever want to donate your phone then just PM me.

I have to agree with kawika that everything I have read has been that your model number is for the Fascinate. Easy tip off would be; does your phone have a sim card? It is probably a CDMA phone with no sim slot. I suggest getting the files you need from the Fascinate forums as I am almost positive that the T959 files will not work on the T959d. Since you have modded a I-9000m you know that they are slightly different than the I-9000. Same thing goes with this circumstance.

Good luck and sorry that there wasn't more I could do but it is just a different phone.

@Citidin - Good to see you got yours solved. If you have questions, please ask (in the correct thread for your question a this one will probably be closed out).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
It definitely has a sim card and it's HSPA, I pulled the Sim card out and put it in my HTC Desire for her to use, and put my SIM card in this crappy little LG Optimus One that's too small for me to type on. So I guarantee it has a sim card and is nothing like the Verizon phones which will not work on any of the Canadian carriers AFAIK. I think nobody understands what the phone is, and that's why almost every thread with a problem like this ends in 0 replies. I think from now on I will stay away from Samsung's abortion phones that they sell in Canada. Or at least I will research community support before getting one.

Ours is called the Fascinate, but its completely different model # than theirs, it is the T959D. Just like how the new Telus galaxy S2x is the T989D, same phone as the T mobile T989_.

For some reason there seems to be a few posts in the Fascinate section, for Telus only, I think that only started because of confusion about what the phone was, but the phone has nothing in common with the Verizon CDMA version. Actually I think if you look up, just about every phone that Telus or Bell (same network basically) gets, is a phone that T mobile got first. HTC Amaze being another one. HTC Desire Z is the same as the Tmobile G2.

Sorry I misunderstood you about donating the phone itself. My last effort will be the JFD file that Citidin sent me a link to. Hopefully that gets it going. If not I will stash it away until I have extra time to try again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
Well once I got the JFD file downloaded and put phone in download mode, turned on Odin, realized the PC recognizes the device attached and being malfunctioned, so I cannot flash with Odin.

I tried Heimdall which I downloaded yesterday, but the program won't load as it says I'm missing a DLL file.

I tried Android flasher which I downloaded who knows when, and tried to just install a recovery image with it, but it gets stuck while pushing recovery image and the program locks up.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
I decided to try my girlfriends Laptop instead of mine after maybe 40 failed attempts to get Odin to communicate on mine, and to my surprise it recognized it right away. I transferred my files, with the JFD to this computer and then flashed with Odin. It took about 2 minutes and it was up and running. I checked about phone and it said 2.3.3 firmware. Really confused I looked back at odin and realized I flashed the I9000M stock 2.3.3 firmware (KG3) that I flashed on my sisters phone back around xmas. I forgot I did that on this laptop.

Anyways it is working as it should except for the home button not working (which I had already read about in a thread about using I9000M or Vibrant roms on the T959D).

While it is unfortunately stock again, the 2.3.3 should fix the original problem of sending to texts to the wrong recipient, and it also seems a lot less laggy. I think I'll just let her try it as is and hope she is happy.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciditin:
If you use the JFD file from the link I sent you, it should be the stock Tmobile Vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gw22:
Similar problem

Sorry dont mean to hijack your thread but I think I am having a similar problem - posted in the wrong spot before so hopefully I am ok here...

Have a Vibrant and some how got crossed up on it.

I have been able to use Odin to update the phone, however after it says its done, it does a reboot as it supposed to, shows the samsung screen then just shuts down.

After about a hundred tries, someone pointed me to Eugene's no brick. I tried that and it will fix it so it will boot and go into recovery, but I can't seem to do much once I get there. My only options are to update, wide data and wipe cache. Can't get to the point where I can load an update onto the unit.

I tried wide data and reset, then reboot. It shows the samsung vibrant logo, then the splash screen, then the big S and then screen goes black and the cap buttons stay lit.

If I try to go back and load the stock pit and jfd file, it just goes back to not booting at all and shutting down after the logo

I cant seem to get it into recovery unless I do Eugene's fix

In one of my earlier attempts, I did check to repartition as direct in one of the other threads - been chasing this a while now!

Edit: It was originally a bell phone - does this matter?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
If it was a Bell phone than it should be the I9000M. It sounds like your problem is a bit different than mine was. I was able to get into recovery mode and download mode just fine. I just didn't know which files to flash with.

I intended to flash the JFD that citidin sent me, but I accidentally use the KJ3 (latest I9000M 2.3.3 firmware). The I9000 and Vibrant roms are compatible with the T959D Telus Fascinate though, only problem being no home or search button.

It sounds like the Eugene thing (whatever that is, I'm not familiar) gets you into stock recovery. Like my original issue, you cannot flash or mount the sd card, or much of anything with the stock recovery.

Do you know that the file your flashing is compatible with your phone (the I9000M I assume)? More info that would probably help, is what firmware did you have on it before, was it JFD? What update did you try on it? Bootloader version - there are gingerbread bootloaders, and froyo bootloaders I think?

Have you tried different files other than the one that doesn't seem to boot up for you? I think most of the tutorials I've looked at, said not to check repartition. When i finally got this T959D working with the I9000 rom I did not check repartition and did not select a pit file, just the PDA, phone, CSC.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gw22:
Yes it is a I9000M - I was trying to load the JFD tar file along with the 512 pit file. I followed a thread in the I9000 section and loaded a JPD tar file onto it, now it shows up as a I9000B - maybe I should stop :)

I can now get into recovery and or download (i think the steps are differant than hold both volume buttons - mine is holding the volume one way for recovery and the other way for download, along with home and power)

Wondering if I am in this bind because it isnt really what most are calling a Vibrant - maybe under Bell it is something else.

Bootloader? didn't know I had to do anything there :(

I just picked up the phone used from someone - I assumed it was stock and didn't do a good check to see what was on it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
I9000m is not the Vibrate but rather the Bell version of the Captivate. There is a dev section for the I9000m in the I9000 group.

I would definately stop what you are doing and read over there.

******

Also 350 you can re-map your keys to work but I am mobile now and cant search it for you. Reason being that the. Vibrant keys are laid out differently in, ahh can't think right niece where they are, but it is fixable. Just search key remap or remapping.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gw22:
Thanks very much for the help - have to wonder why they cant call them the same names regardless of where they are sold - guess thats why they get the big bucks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmundy:
I'm fairly sure I saw a code.google site that had the JFD etc. as downloads, but I just did some searches and couldn't find it. Maybe woodrube knows where to look.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gw22:
Thanks guys - yes I am in the wrong section. Over at the I9000 section now and seem to be making progress - but not yet back up and running. I really borked it!

Looks like it's failing on mounting...

Yippie its working - did a wipe data and wipe cache and its working now

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmundy:
keylayout

/system/usr/keylayout is where the key mapping files live. You can use ghost commander in root mode to edit those (rooted phone only I expect) and reassign HOME etc.

The glitch kernel recovery has a nice feature which will let you press keys and see the codes generated.

You can turn SEARCH into another HOME or make it act sort of like POWER, except it will just sleep, not wake up.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Just wondering how you guys are flashing the recovery image post the ICS update....

I am Rooted, and i have #SU access. but when i use this app http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346180 it doesn't flash the recovery.

I've even tried downloading the recovery.img and flash it via ADB and it won't take it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Check in system/xbin to see if you have su there.

If not go into system/bin and copy the su from there over and try RecoveryInstaller again.

Also if you have SBKv1 there's an NVFLash version of Team Rouge recovery
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
awesome. I'll give it shot after lunch.

posted via mobile.

edit 1)- I do have SU in the system/xbin. I also have it in the system/bin.

I assume i need to delete the one in the system/bin folder. I'll delete it and try again.

edit 2)- that didn't work. It removed SU access all over the board.

edit 3)- it finally took.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
I have seen a few peoples have this problems and they just run ViperMod again to root and it work. Even though they all have "root" already.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Yea i rooted after i lost SU access, flashed, it didn't take, flashed, it didn't take, flash it didn't take. deleted that su in the /system/bin. Then i rerooted, flashed 3 time it didn't take 3 time. Then on the 4th it took.

moral of the story, i just should of keep what i had (rooted running revolver) and waited for an android 4.0 ROM i wanted and flashed it.
[General Questions and Answers] josho133:
Hello,

I'm having the "Obtaining IP Address" issue, where it just tries and fails (over and over). This only happens at work (works great at home, in hotels, starbucks, etc.).

Protocol: WPA2-Personal / AES encryption

SSID is broadcasted on channel 6

It is _not_ restricted by MAC address.

I do not have any control over it, so cannot reset/reboot the router, and IT dept offers no Android support.

My devices (both fail): Asus Transformer Prime (unlocked/rooted ICS), Samsung T989 Galaxy S2 (rooted Gingerbread)

I can connect to it just fine with my windows laptop, so I know the WPA password I'm using works just fine.

Things I have tried:

1) Reboot device

2) Forget network, add network manually

3) Use static IP (connects, but can't actually go anywhere)

4) Delete /data/misc/dhcp/dhcp_list

5) Delete /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

Just says "Obtaining IP Address" - then fails, then scans, then tries again. This is true on both devices. Once again, works fine with Windows laptop.

Does anyone have any idea why this would happen? Given I have absolutely no control over the router, is there anything else I can try?

Thanks a lot in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
That happens to me sometimes and idk why it does it either, says obtaining IP adresse over and over again but never says connected, I was trying to connect to a wifi hotspots in a resturant and it did that, tried next week and it worked, pretty weird

Maybe I'm a little paranoid but does anyone else ever wonder why they are giving away so much free space for you to store your stuff?

I dont use any online storage sites only because all my personal stuff stays in my control. Makes me wonder what I'm missing out on though. What does everyone keep online? MP3s, pictures, "personal" videos, work files?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xopher.hunter:
Because with the 200mb max single file upload limit it is incredibly hard to use up all 50gbs for the average user
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
Or so they can suck you in and get you on a paid account. Once you've taken the time to up 50GB of stuff, if you need more space you're more likely to stay where you are than go somewhere else and start over.
[Motorola Photon 4G] srkelley:
All of that plus they want users. They have services running alongside their storage that brings them revenue. That's why they give it out so freely, they cleared out quite a bit of the normal overhead costs and can afford to grow via promotions as an additional service of a phone. I got my 50 gigs last year when they welcomed LG users, all LG users.

Got on there with my Optimus, haven't used it since day one. I'd just been using Spider-oak, I don't like streaming content but it does offer sharing content which I do need in a service. It did exactly wha I want with a high level of security. Love them. I'm a fringe user though, dropbox, box.net, etc will be the best bet for most users.

Hello,

i use an htc hd2 with "HD2_NDT_MIUI_GINGER_2.3.7_DEVELOPMENT_V46.0_MAGLDR" and i love it, now i changed my contract Vodafone DE to Telekom DE ... my new contract dont work on the hd2, i gues there is an Simlock on the HD2 ?! Is it possible to get the card running ?

The Support means i need a Telekom Handy for it - but REALY !?

My Vodafone Card runs perfect -.-

I read in some other Threat that die Simlock get unlocked with changing to Android ... but not my !?

Please help me if you get what i mean :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
No kind of flashing will ever unlock the simlock.

Only two ways to unlock sim on hd2,, get a code from the original network operator, or buy a code online.

you must enter the code using winmo 6.5, otherwise the code wont work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Krehk:
Okay, but is it sure that it is an Simlock ?

How can i test it ?

Or is my case the typical Simlock problem ?

okay, as much i read as much questions i got - CID-Lock >_<

Is it possible that it is CID-Locked ?

OMFG this get a long night -.-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
simlock, Cid (carrier ID) lock, network lock,, allmost the same thing,,, if a phone is cid locked, it can only flash roms from that carrier (easily bypassed by hspl) but it also means its locked to that carriers network, (not bypassed by hspl)and only way to unlock that is get a code from the original carrier or buy a code.

Once it is unlocked, it will still (and always will) be Cid locked to voda roms.(again not a problem, since hspl bypasses it)

Assuming its from voda, you should ask them first,,, however if you no longer have a contract with them they probably will say no,, also they can take a while to give you the code. 28 days for many operators,,, took o2 UK six months to unlock mine in 2010!!

Save yourself.hours of fruitless searching and spend the 15€ and buy a code online. Lots of threads here about various sites selling codes.
