[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolrus101:
Okay, so after installing the kang build 25 ICS for the vibrant, everything went fine. Randomly I get a random reboot and my phone says there was an "encryption error" and that I have to do a factory reset. Since I already had everything backed up, I didn't mind the data wipe. When it went rebooted the CWM screen came up and started wiping everything but when it got to the "formatting data" part, it failed. I tried this many times and it kept failing... SO, I decided to ODIN back to JFD. After doing so, all I get is the Vibrant screen, then an instant shut down. I even tried Eugene's old No Brick Froyo PDA, then tried to reinstall the JFD image, but got no luck.

Question is: What should I do now?

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

It's not the easiest thing in the world to accomplish but It is a guarantied way to get your vibrant into successful download mode to reflash to stock.

At the least something to get you started:)

Good Luck!

Perhaps it could be a bootloader problem? If you're sure you are doing Odin right, including repartition with the pit file, you could look at your SBL.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolrus101:
.

Sorry but what is SBL?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jalaldaniel:
I dont know how to explain it very well lol but to check if the rom you are trying to odin has the sbl in it. Rename it and put a .zip at the end. Then extract to see if its in there it should be named "sbl". To change it back simply delete the .zip off the original file.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolrus101:
JFD

I'm trying to ODIN the original JFD firmware, and I just checked that it does not have SBL in it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jalaldaniel:
Try odining a rom that has the sbl file in it thats probably why its not working.

Just tried the Heimdall thing. No luck. As soon as it says rebooting, it goes to the vibrant screen, then the battery charging screen, then continues to bootloop. Same thing happened with Odin

The SBL is the Secondary Boot Loader, which is loaded by the Primary Boot Loader.

I haven't personally encountered any roms which also flash bootloaders.

I did manage to get my phone bootlooped in some weird way which apparently could only be fixed by reflashing the SBL. Note: flashing bootloaders is more dangerous than regular roms.

I am presently running a GB SBL from this thread:

Flashed the GB bootloader and no luck either :(. Flashed back to the froyo one, and got the data wipe error again, the phone rebooted, and now its at "KERNEL PANIC - UPLOAD MODE"
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolrus101:
I have already tried the Heimdall method... and I can access download mode. I think the thing that is causing the bootloop is that the Data wipe fails after a restore. Thats when the bootloop kicks in
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmundy:
If you did Odin/Heimdall to stock after flashing the SBL, and it is still messed up, its beyond me and I'd really like to know the fix. Wiping should be irrelevant after Odining to stock.

If you are getting errors in recovery when you try to wipe/format/restore, that indicates a mismatch between the kernel and the partitioning or filesystem.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolrus101:
SO the thing is I used the GLITCH kernel with vibrant build 25... I dont think I was supposed to... could that have caused the problem? maybe a voodoo problem?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmundy:
There are two glitch kernel series that I know of, one for CM7 and one for CM9 and ICS (I think, not sure, that all ICS builds and CM9 use the same basic filesystem scheme).

All stock builds use a Samsung FS scheme which is different from the two above. So there are at least three mutually-incompatible families of FS+kernel pairs.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolrus101:
I used the CM9 kernel I think...

After the installation went fine, I got the encryption error which told me to reboot. as soon as I did, I got the Data wipe fail. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tabthelab:
Encryption Error

I'm going through the same thing. I had my phone at ICS passion for months, last night I noticed my phone was in a boot load screen, but it was dimmed. I simply went and took out my battery. . maybe not the best idea, cause I'm now unable to flash back to stock.

I used odin to go back to stock, but I keep getting a boot load/reset. Nothing is happening.

If anyone has found out more on this, please let me know. Thank you so much.

If you are still able to access Clockworkmod Recovery CWM (NOT STOCK RECOVERY) then try this:

Otherwise just give up. There is currently no fix for this bug as of now.

This is really getting out of hand ICS rom devs should put a big caution sign on their thread(s) stating the following:

WARNING THIS ROM WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!!

Goodluck... in the meantime find yourself a spare phone like i did cuz you certainly ain't fixing this one.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mycorrhiza:
Hello,

I wanted to get some flavour of ICS and decided to flash an ICS Rom.

First I got the new ICS Kernel from DoomLord as I like his kernels.

After flashing and wanting to go into recovery the screen simply stayed black.

So I took the stock ICS Kernel provided with the Rom, but it had the same effect.

After that I reflashed the Gingerbread Kernel I had before, but here also: black screen.

The only thing left to do is reflash the Stockrom, so I started up flashtool.exe and did the normal steps.

Unfortunately I got the following error message:

ERR_Severity="Major" don't sound good :(

But maybe someone can help me pls.

EDIT: Posted in wrong forum, pls move to development
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
are you getting any messages in fastboot when you flash a kernel? And I presume you didn't backup...

sinkster©
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mycorrhiza:
I can flash the kernels without any hassle.

I always do Titatnium Backups and might still have an old nandroid on the sd Card.

The phone also vibrates to signify it is booting but after that I get no picture.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
I'd re-download dooms kernel and try fastboot with the new file, if that's not succesful then the best idea is to spam the volume rocker as soon as you boot and see if you get the recovery screen up.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mycorrhiza:
I've tried like 5 different kernels and all the same result, the screen doesnt even go on, not even the backlight, guess it's simply a brick now.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harfot:
Have you tried to flash an ICS Rom again?

Else try first to use fastboot for erasing the flash partitions,

erase boot

erase system

erase userdata
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mycorrhiza:
Is there an .FTF ICS Rom available?

I couldn't even flash the rom the first time, after flashing the new kernel I couldn't even boot into recovery.

Screen is just black.

But I will try the three things later.

Thx.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
No.

Flash 2.3.4 to get it running again.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mycorrhiza:
Doesnt work, that is the problem. I can't flash using flash tool as the error described in the first post appears.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nickaplease:
Hello, Im a bit curious to know if the face unlock is possible for the T-mobile G2x. Im new to the phone, and i just recently rooted the phone. Must i download/install roms to be able to?? If so, how do i? Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
your name is exactly how I feel like answering this question of yours lol, but it is a built in ICS feature only, so you would have to use one of those roms and one of the latest gapps. search and read before posting (even google) and you'll be good.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TarHeelTrigger:
Actually its not just an ICS feature. I've been using facial recognition lock screens for a long time on the g2x. If you don't want to flash the beta 4.0 rom then just go to market and search for any number of facelock apps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vipaman:
There are many apps that offer face unlock but none do the job better than the face unlock on the ICS builds....I have tried some face unlock apps before only to see that they eat a lot of my battery....so ur better of with ICS rom rather than apps

This rom is stable being based off the latest OTA for the evo, It is smooth, stable, great battery life, tweaked but enough to still be stock! ;) thats why it is sexy and I know it!

I also want to say a big thank you to the XDA community and its amazing developers who have made this possible, many of you have inspired me, created the amazing tweaks placed in my rom, and with the help of kitchen and xda I was able to put this all together.

A special thanks to

Swagstr for the native screen shot instructions

Gruesomewolf for the quick settings

Brad and misery in motion for the latest ota barebone rom

And all the other amazing developers and inspiration for the Rom :)

This will hopefully be the first of many roms to come! I dont mean to sound stingy but if you like my work please donate to my change jar, all my work is being done all on a netbook, multi-booted with ubuntu, and it really complicates things! xD!

I have personally tested all my work before giving it out to the public and it has worked fine for me, but as many of you know FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK

What sets this apart from all the other 4.67 ROMS with tweaks?

TN's 4.67,

4.67 nitrous

NoLimits OTA 4.67

Red Line Custom 4.67

Stock Barebones 4.67

Tommy's Optimized base

DerpSonic 4.67

Not to deter you, and I understand every dev has to start somewhere, but theres LOTS of ROMS out there based on 4.67 with the tweaks you have.

Thanks Man! I hope you enjoy my work! xD!

Stevo
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevovanburen:
Hey,

Well what I wanted to do was set out to create a rom that was as close to stock as possible but add a few tools for ease of use. This would be screen shot, the boot menu, as well as the quick settings for the basic users. The bash support, cache to sd, busy box, and other system tweaks are something for the more advanced user.

Now the reason I chose 4.67 for my base was because it is the latest and greatest version of GB for the evo, and it is just a more solid base to build off of in my opinion.

Now with you asking what sets it apart from others I cannot fully answer that knowing not what those developers placed in their roms. Yes I am aware that other roms have these tweaks but the stock 4.67 did not have them, we all had to add the tweaks ourself. And I really wanted to start working toward creating some roms and this is the first step to get there! :)

Hope you enjoy my work!

Great job brother,i like to see some competition,lol,jk.I am presently working on a new rom,but its not gonna be released anytime soon,i'm gonna make this one unique,most roms here in the past few months have used the same tweaks and base and noones really accomplished anything new,hopefully i can make this change.I am presently working on getting a team of new developers together and get a great custom rom revolution going.If you are interested Steve-O let me know.Again,nice deving.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ca1ne:
You have to expect a little duplication when individual mods are posted freely. I tired to take it one step farther and post diff files... In a way, a tweaked ROM with all the mods makes a nice base for exploring new territory.. I hope the best for you and your new team, breathe some more life into the evo... I remember watching synergy get developed and felt like it was a goodbye present from that generation of developers... It's great to see all of you fill in the void left behind.

Hey all! This is the new home of the Droid 4 Utility (NOW WITH SAFESTRAP THANKS TO HASHCODE) for Windows/Mac/Linux!

There are (still) no fastboot files as of writing this (2/28/2012) so use Safestrap at your own risk

Once they come out I will be making a full version that includes fastboot restore. For now, the utility is only a few MB compared to a GB+.

From this point forward I will be taking charge of updating the Droid 4 Utility for Windows/Mac/Linux

This way mattlgroff has a little less work on his hands and can focus more on IMPORTANT things like bootloaders, ICS, etc...

MAC/LINUX: Be sure to read the instructions below (or README file) if you are not familiar with using terminal as root or executing bash scripts!

-Changes

~~as of 2/18/ 11:30PM PST

Fixed bug where Superuser.apk was pushed to /data instead of /system/app/

Fixed unroot script to properly remove Superuser.apk

~~as of 2/19 4:30 PM PST

Fixed chmod in root method from 4775 to 6775

~~as of 2/28 6:15PM PST

Added Safestrap recovery!!

~~as of 3/2

fixed script to chmod +x ./files -R so that you can actually run the files on mac and linux (that would be important huh?)
