[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drowe:
Oh, it's those little details that get you! :o I read on a forum a while back about an easy way to flash radios with adb. As I recall it had several steps and didn't look any easier to me. My memory and Google are failing me now, but I think there is a way to do it. ADB and fastboot? I know you will find it, I see your name on too many good posts!

Found what I was looking for at cyanogenmod forum, looks like you extract the radio .img file from the zip file and then:

adb reboot-bootloader

it should then say 'fastboot usb' in red when done

type:

fastboot flash radio radio-4.06.00.12_7.img

where radio-4.06.00.12_7.img is the name of the image that you have in the directory you ran the command from.

Here is the post I copied from: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/1232-how-to-flash-new-radio-image/

Hope that helps!

You did do a nandroid back up I hope?
[HTC Amaze 4G] alobear:
download a recovery, place it on your sd card, and from hboot it should find it and install, from there you should be able to go to recovery, happened to me before.
[LG Revolution] Cryofalcon:
For as long as I can remember, back before we got Gingerbread there was a cracked version of skype that allowed us to use the FFC but video was upside down. I notice even after Gingerbread release, Gingervolt rom, and BrokenOut I notice the FFC STILL takes pictures and videos upside down. While I don't use it all that often it would be nice for it to take pictures correctly. I know that back on when I first got the phone it did in fact take them correctly. Has anyone else had this issue, or perhaps know of any fixes? I have tried wiping cache, dalvik, reflashing BrokenOut again, fixing permissions in CWM still to no avail.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgkamiolo:
Hey guys just wanted to say thanks for all the help you provide on a daily basis, for all the people trying to unlock the potential in their phones. However with that being said I might have tried too hard and messed up my phones. I have a Samsung Vibrant SGH-T595 with 2.1 (update 1) updated officially by Samsung.

I rooted the phone, used clock work recovery mod and then downloaded and installed cyanogenmod 7.1 RC. However in the end I did not like so I tried to go back using my backed up copy created by clockwork mod. Doing this has now what you would call "soft bricked" my phone.

The phone is currently stuck on the Samsung boot screen when trying to power on the device. I am unable to put it into download mode via the three button setup, but I bought a USB jig and it sets it into download mode.

Everything seems great at this point but the Odin program is unable to recognize my phone. I have downloaded the official Samsung Kies, and 64 bit drivers as well for my windows 7 system but it is unable to detect my phone. I believe it maybe a defective USB issue with this phone but not sure since it can be charged through USB but I can't remember the last time I was able to connect it to the PC and transfer files via the USB cable.

My question is what else can I do other then sell it for scrap?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex9090:
Try another USB cable and different ports. It will recognize it eventually.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxyfitftw:
As you have a windows 7 x64 bit version i guess Odin may need to be opened by giving Administrator permissions.

Try right clicking odin and click Run as administrator. I guess this should work.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Ran into this issue last night with my wife's Nook Color and moving some file and driver issues. Guess what? It was a bad cord. Actually used my Vibrant cord and it was instantly recognized. Yes sometimes it IS actually THAT simple.

I also suggest you go to the Dev section and download the AIO Toolbox (links are live again and don't forget the .Net files too). Uninstall the drivers you have installed and run to toolbox. It has all the correct drivers, pit/tar files and Odin. It is an invaluable tool.

Sidenote: Kies is notorious for hardbricking devices. You should stay away from it altogether.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxyfitftw:
Exactly. And that is how i tried updating my vibrant to froyo and ended up hard bricking it..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] younix258:
Yeah like someone in here said, download aio vibrant toolkit.. its a surefire way to know your drivers are good and right.. once youve ruled them out, try a diff usb port and cable (mentioned above as well). If nothing works, then you may begin to entertain the idea that your phone is in difficult position.

Probably not hardbricked tho, vibrants are very resilient; just keep trying.

Then ttheres jtag and unbrickable mod if youre absolutely sure lifes over

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgkamiolo:
Thanks guys I ended up recycling my phones cause nothing I did worked. I did try AIO toolbox got the drivers, tried different cables. My SG II is able to be recognized by odin 1.85 with no issues but not my vibrant. I believe it is an issue with the vibrant's usb port. I originally rooted it by doing the update.zip fix from its external sd card, did not use my usb cable at that time. My other vibrant is completely hard bricked since it wont power on with two different fully charged batteries. Anyway thanks again and next time I will research more before modding my phones. :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nishith611:
Hey OP,

I did the same exact thing as you and soft bricked it in the same manner. Then when I tried to get Odin to recognize the phone it wouldn't with my Samsung cable. I thought I was out of luck but I went and bought a USB cable made my Belkin from Meijer and Odin recognized it! I looked at the Samsung cable and the Belkin cable and the black plastic inside the microUSB in the Belkin is thicker than the Samsung. I think that helps create a tighter contact between phone microUSB and the cable. I thought I was screwed like you and I fixed the issue with a new cable!! That simple
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgkamiolo:
I used the Samsung Galaxy S II usb cable which looks like it has a very tight connection with the contacts like you said. Thanks anyway I will try that brand of cable, if I ever run into that issue.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Mcnavice:
Hi everyone, last week i bought a galaxy tab 7.7 lte after reading it could make calls but didnt realise the stripped out tbiz feature in us models till i got home. I searched the net hoping to find a hack of somekind to re enable this feature to no avail. I have the graNdfathered unlimited plan and wanted to use my own verizon number to make and recieve calls, i guess the next best thing is to use google voice and groove ip? I have no idea how to set it up as my only number i have read about it but it just confuses me so came on here boping to. Get some help. If i put my sim in the tab can i just forward my verizon calls to my google voice? Does the tab support sms with my verizon number? If i port my number to google voice im guessing it terminates my contract? How do i setup. Google voice the guide i read said something about having another number to fowar to but idont have one i want to use my tab as all in one device with sim in it. Thanks in advance any help is appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Here's the problem: US carriers are very greedy. As such, a single device that "does it all" is bad for business. Think about it. If you got a tablet that also doubled as your phone, then that's a tethering fee they can't get you on if you had a wifi-only tablet paired up to your smartphone. OR that's a whole other data subscription, just for your tablet, that they aren't getting your money for either.

US carriers don't like all-in-one devices... That's why you'll never see a US device with all the features of the international version of the same device.

Here's my advice for you: Give Verizon a big fat middle finger by returning the VZW version of the 7.7, buying the international 3G version (P6800) instead, port your existing number over to StraightTalk for $45 a month, unlimited everything, pay as you go, and cancel your VZW contract.

People in the US need to get out of this 2-year agreement dependency BS... That's how carriers are able to gouge us for 3 and 4 times as much as everyone else around the world who are mostly pay-as-you-go. PAYG is much more competitive, and the consumer benefits from it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jimmbomb:
I whole heartly agree.... when my contract with ATT is up.. Im doing this very thing.. thanks J.E.W...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Magickly:
As everyone mentioned, your vzw sim is for data only, but for gvoice calls (& voip internet calling) you only need data to work in order to make calls. If you intend to keep your vzw tab, you can try this:

Go to google.com/voice & setup a google voice account & choose a gvoice phone #. You need to do this from a laptop or pc, won't work from tab or phone. You may be required to setup at least one phone for forwarding to complete setup, you can use your cell or home phone, you can always go back later & uncheck forwarding or delete that phone from your gvoice acct.

After setup, at top right of web page, look for pic of gear (settings/options), be sure to select/check off forward to your gmail address.

Be sure your vzw sim is activated & in your tablet.

On your tab go to google play/market & download gvoice app & follow the setup guide. Gvoice will attempt too send a text from your tab which notifies google voice of your tab's phone # configures Gvoice to sync & forward with your new tab. Next download grooveip & follow the setup. You should be golden

I use a prepaid GoPhone sim in my gsm 7.7 tab for calls, text & 3G. If you have good att signal near you & can do without the remote control infrared on the vzw version & can still return your vzw tab, get a p6800. You will not be disappointed :)

Good Luck
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aximtreo:
I have the US Verizon version of the 7.7 and it has 4g. Will this setup work with it. I set it up as per your instructions and hope it works but a confirmation from you would be nice.:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rEVOLVE:
My company paid for the 7.7 as well as foots the bill for the monthly unlimited 4G data w/ Verizon (I just swap the SIM out between my MiFi and the 7.7 depending on which one i would bring with me). I actually prefer the awesome speed of LTE.

I have got GrooveIP working w/ my Gvoice account to make & receive VOIP calls. (Thanks 2 Asenduk who pointed out the setting that was making it not work on mine).

I just wish the bluetooth would work with the 7.7 as a phone and not just "media" as when I bought one of those bluetooth mini handsets it only lets you talk on it but does not let you answer or end the call from the handset (nor gives you caller id or ringing indicator at all).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Magickly:
?!

If you already have it setup, why not just test it out ?

I can say that I just set this up on my sister's VZW 7.7 GTab & it works flawlessly using free version of GrooveIP Lite. She already had a gvoice # setup w/forwarding to her cell, I just added GVoice app to her tab & configured to her GVoice, and of course, installed GrooveIP Lite app & Bam !

You may need to enable (check box) to "send calls to GoogleChat" option in google voice for incoming, on some devices this was necessary for me

I'm off to pay for full version of GrooveIP, cuz they deserve it

Most of the live wallpapers I use introduce lag when navigating around the home screen. Is this the case for everyone?

And if it is, why bother having them? Seems to favor style over functionality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
I think everyone gets the lag. It's worse with some wallpapers than with others. It's not only the loss of performance but they also tend to use more battery. I don't bother with them. In fact, I like a pure black background.

Each to their own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yes its the case for everyone. Every LWP except "Phase Beam".

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Henchmin:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well this has generally been the case for all previous versions of Android, too....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chjade84:
It's not all live wallpapers. The ones from Maxelus (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...XhlbHVzLnNoYWRvd2dhbGF4eWxpdmV3YWxscGFwZXIiXQ..) don't lag at all - and the Galaxy Pack is pretty complex. I was using the Galaxy Pack for the last few months until I made an Aperture Laboratories (static) wallpaper.

I think it's more of a coding issue than the feature itself. 'Don't hate the game, hate the player' - as it were... :D

[Motorola Droid RAZR] whirleyes:
Motodev Razr page state that only bgn wifi is supported.. this is very confusing.. because My Razr support 5Ghz wlan out of the box..

I started a thread asking for the hardware difference between Razr version.. Link

Since nobody reply, I'm still not sure what is the diff between them..

for sure Razr uses the Ti WiLink7 chip.. that suppose to support Dual band WiFi+BT 4.0+FM+GPS..

If all of these device is using the same chip, then the diff might be the wifi firmware..

On my Razr, using fw_wlan1281.bin(Rev 7.1.3.410.5418) from xt912 disable the 5Ghz band.

Update : It turns out that the xt912 tiwlan.ini that disable the 5Ghz band.

So I think maybe by using my Razr wifi firmware & configuration, the 5Ghz band might be enable on your device.. I'm not sure

Update : Working on some Razr

Attached is the wifi firmware (Rev 7.1.3.410.5419) & configuration for dualband wifi

p/s :

This file is extracted from motorola RAZR Global sourceforge.net page.. Link

the fw_wlan1281.bin is a few kByte diff from the one used in xt912.

you might need to tweak tiwlan.ini to suite your country wifi regulatory

Updated: This is only for GB
[Motorola Droid RAZR] whirleyes:
How to Install

1. Remount your system folder as rw

2. Backup old files (you might need it for OTA)

mv /system/etc/wifi/fw_wlan1281.bin /system/etc/wifi/fw_wlan1281.bin.bgn
mv /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini.bgn

3. Unzip 802.11.abgn_support.zip & sent it to device

adb push fw_wlan1281.bin /system/etc/wifi/fw_wlan1281.bin
adb push tiwlan_dualband.ini /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini

4. Turn Off then On back your Wifi

How to check firmware version

In a command prompt & as a root user, enter

wlan_cu

then

aboUt

You should see something like this

root@cdma_spyder:/system/etc/wifi# wlan_cu
wlan_cu
ERROR - IpcWpa_Sockets_Open - can't connect the socket

Thanks for that. It is working for me on CM9 with 2.3.5 Retail.BR kernel. Using the DLink DGL-4500 on 5ghz and it shows the network and connects. Make sure you rename the file to "tiwilan.ini" or else your device will fail to boot and will get stuck at bootlogo.

but setting it to 4 will activate the dual band..
