Hopefully someone can help. MY phone is driving me nuts.

I think I am currently using ROM Cwm-GB-2.3.6-Octane-V3.0 XPLOD NO CIQ (phone shows GINGERBREAD.VUVKJ6). If those are different then my ROMs are not flashing.

About 6 weeks ago (running Octane 2.3.6) everything was running just fine then I flashed the power menu and my stock browser became jerky/laggy/jumpy. I have tried loading ROM after ROM but I am getting nowhere whatsoever. I tried flashing some Kernels but the same result every time is the jumpy browser.

I think I have applied the power menu fix but I still have the same problem.

Current Kernel is 2.6.35.7-T959VUKJ6-CL694130

I really only use about 2-3 website and had got used to the browser so using a 3rd party browser is not what I want. Besides I’d like to get this fixed and hopefully understand a bit more of what’s going on.

Thanks

I would try using the scrolling tweak by dsexton.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Octane it's an obsolete ROM, upgrade to A newer ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] edderspcs:
Thanks for the suggestions. The scroll tweak may come in handy later. I did however get it fixed by downloading T959VUVKJ6-REV00-home-low-CL694130.tar

and then following the NOOB guide for ODIN here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1001759

I'm happy just to be back to stock and start over.

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
The scroll tweak will make scrolling in everything else really smooth as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] turtlepa:
Anyone know if unnamed rom has that tweak precompiled?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] aarrrchie:
I have this same problem on Anton's BAREBONES rom. It's frustrating because I love everything else works fine with the rom. The scroll tweak didn't fix the issue it's probably something else. I didn't have this problem with the stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
I'll look later today. Seems like common solution for jerky scrolling it to patch framework.res and disable scrolling cache, which is overloading garbage collection.

Edit: Looked at it, unfortunately it's may improve only scrolling in lists (it patches AbsListView.) The browser scrolling cannot be improved this way.

Edit2: Fixed in Barebone 1.0.8
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] abodd:
I installed the same rom, and I to have a jerky stock web browser, but what's more wired to me is that my phone looks stock Samsung and almost nothing has changed ! Is that how it is for you?

What new rom do you guys suggest?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
"This ROM is very stock-like" taken directly from the op of that ROM.

So, yes, its like that for everyone that flashes. Do everyone a favor and read at least the complete op of anything your going to flash.

As for recommendations, its all about personal taste. My personal favorite to date is unnamed, but I'm currently on vb because I wanted a change and never gave vb an extended run.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] abodd:
In my defense that was the first time I flashed a rom. And I will check out unnamed! Thanks

Requirements:

S-Off

Any Web Browser on any OS

Steps:

1. Fill in the form located here. Thanks to sieempi for all the hard work. Don't forget to make a generous donation to him.

2. The Config.dat file will have been emailed to you. Download the attachment and put it into the root of the external SD card or internal storage of your device depending on what works for you.

3. Simpy boot into the Bootloader and navigate to the SIMLOCK option with the volume keys and select it by pressing power. The output should look similar to this:

fat32 init ok
reading config.dat
read mccmnc file success
open CID file fail
get device IMEI success
IMEI checking...PASS!

4. Congratulations, your device should now be SIM Unlocked. You'll need a SIM Card from another carrier to verify.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cookie1018:
Works like a charm. Thanks for the heads up!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] chachin:
HELL YEah this worked... i pop a T-mobile sim card and i have full signal.. thanks man
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Gene Poole:
Worked on both my Vivid and my old Aria.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bradsinram:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Whoareyou:
maybe, it worked for that other guys Aria
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] RayYung:
Works for me but I have to put the file into the external SD card.:)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ccb101:
yeah i had to put my file on the external SD card as well and it worked :-) thank you
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ixIGamerIx:
Does ur device have to be s-off
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Theonew:
Yes, it does.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jebise101:
But if its based off this it should work without S-Off.

Anyone willing to try :p
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dust906:
HTC aria , running CM9 updated to 2.2 stock , then rooted , then flashed roms

i have revolutionary s-off

open mccmnc file fail

open CID file fail

process done , reboot device ?

press volume up
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cookie1018:
Put the file that you got onto your external SD card and try again. I had the same message come up when I did it with the internal memory.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Put file on external SD and worked like a charm :) Awesome thanks!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dust906:
thats exactly what im doing ........ i insert the SD card into my computer and copy the file to it....

then i boot up bootloader and run it , but to no avail
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ChopAxePiece:

i'm running miui rom with s-on 2.3.5, 2.00.0002

Thanks given to OP

I tried this but it says it only works on desire and sensation :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] L551:
Getting this too:

HTC Aria , with CM7.

Used AlphaRevX some time ago for S-OFF

HBOOT 6.02.1002

FAT32 init OK

open mccmnc file fail

open CID file fail

process done , reboot device ?

<VOL UP> Yes

It's on the SD card, but nothing's working...is it possible because of partitioned SD card?

New SD card, worked. But T-Mobile SIM still asks for unlock code.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dust906:
im going to try on a fresh SD card when i get home
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dust906:
ok so it worked with another SD card on the first try ... weird but cool

so does anyone know if this will persist through updates , rom flashing , and or upgrades

and is it safe to run again at a later date....

how serious is the change of what was done ??

just curious if this can hurt in any way
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mjones307:
It will stay unlocked after flashing roms.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rohit275:
Just tried it, it seemed to work. Put a T-Mobile SIM inside, but for some reason was getting no signal after about a minute or so.

I didn't get a prompt for an unlock code, so does that mean it worked? Does it take some time? T-Mobile SIM card was mine, the Vivid belongs to a friend who had to leave, so I can't check at the moment. Did any of you guys have to wait a few minutes or disable data or something in order for it to kick in and pick up cell reception?

EDIT: I think that this may be due to the APN settings. My T-Mobile SIM card has 3G reception (I know we should only expect to get edge on the Vivid), but would turning mobile data off help get reception? Friend wants to make sure that her Vivid will wok in Europe with a European GSM SIM card, and I don't think mobile data will even be an issue while she's there on vacation. Regardless, did any APN settings or mobile data settings need to be altered in order for the phone to work with a T-Mobile SIM card? If so, what exactly needed to be changed?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mjones307:
On my vivid I just hit mobile network then apn settings,search network T-Mobile pop up and I had signal.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rohit275:
Sweet! That's awesome to hear. I'll give it a shot the next time I see her. Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zukko:
hi.

didnot worked for me.

after reboot it again asks for 8 digit network unlock code
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cruzin_cruzing:
Try again, the output needs to look like this:

fat32 init ok
reading config.dat
read mccmnc file success
open CID file fail
get device IMEI success
IMEI checking...PASS!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jagpoag:
thanks

edit:

I've filled out the form 12 times (after it timing out, not loading and giving me SQL errors for over an hour) and each time that it actually loaded, it told me: "An email has been sent to: jagpoag@gmail.com. You may proceed with the next step!" Funny, my spam box is empty, my inbox is empty. There is no email anywhere to be found at all

edit again..lol:

OK, it worked. Took a couple of hours and over 100 tries but the email showed up and everything seems to be working as it should. Thanks again for sharing this with everyone. Anyone having problems getting the emails, just wait and keep trying...it will show up.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joax11:
Hello guys,

I tried this method but when I put the Config in the external SD and try to run it un the HBOOT, I get an error saying Check Keycard Failed!

After that it only says I must reboot.

I tried entering in phone type the following:

HTC Vivid

Vivid

HTC Vivid/Raider/Velocity

Any ideas?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mjones307:
Try the enternal sd should work that's where I put mines.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joax11:
Yes I already put it in the external SD, as I stated above :S I get the problem with the Config in the external SD.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mjones307:
I mean internal sdcard.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Metalshadowx2:
I confirmed it works on HTC bell Raider.. I put the file on external sd card and worked perfectly. Thanks alot. once I put in my fido sim I had to manual go select the network but after that it was fine.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] satti8893:
im from india. my brother brought me htc vivid at&t unlocked. now i can use any sim in my country and my device is s-on and not rooted. im ready to root but have so many doubts. Before rooting my device i want to updat from gb to ics.

i heard that at&t released official ics 4.0.3

how can i update it nd frm where i can get stock ics. plz help me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Metalshadowx2:
I know this is the wrong thread but to do any of that I think you have to S-OFF cause you have to update to the ICS H-boot in order to flash any ICS roms.. just keep reading the forums.. you will find it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zeppler:
I dont have much knowledge of SIM Unlock, besides knowing that you can use T-mobile SIM

but, can you use at&t sim that does not have a data plan?

I switched to a G-nex, want to give my vivid to a friend, who doesnt use DATA and doesnt need it. Phone is rooted and running virtuous rom, but after a a days use with DATA turned off in phone settings, he got a text from at&t asking him to purchase a data plan.

If he unlocks SIM, can he use the phone as a regular "dumb" phone. NO DATA connection, besides wifi?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] parmar.saab:
No, because AT&T has the phone's IMEI in their database. So, no matter what, they'll know that it is a smartphone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zeppler:
and they cant see t-mobile phone's IMEI? hmmm...that sucks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] londonandlawson:
I dont know what s off is? I have a non-rooted and factory rom Vivid I would like to try this with

Everything worked for me to a T. Just follow ALL steps carefully, and you will be good to go :).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lebmb:

Was the phone blacklisted as a result of performing the SIM Unlock? Also the website is up but it says "This service is not available for the moment!".

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jherbold:
This worked for me. Not free, but available and effective. I'm not associated with this service in any way.

I contacted AT&T and got the "I'm sorry, your phone is not eligible to be unlocked." response.

I knew it was possible through third parties, so I looked for a service that had good reviews. I settled on freeunlocks.com

Once there, I found I could either pay a one time fee through PayPal or buy something from a Trialpay partner. I chose a purchase from a partner, since it was something I could use anyway.

Everything went off without a hitch. The TrialPay authorization went back to freeunlocks very quickly, and I had my unlock code via email within an hour.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] HTC_Vivid:
Doesn't seem to work. I followed directions and did what the post said. I got the exact same results. It said to press volume up to restart. I do then it just gets stuck on black screen.

When I press the power button it restarts though.

How can you tell if you are sum unlocked without another simcard?

Should be able to get everything. The Vivid picks up all bands I believe.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] HTC_Vivid:
Woah! This actually worked. I bought a sim card for a buck and activated it and I got signal. It didn't ask me for an unlock code or anything. Though I'm not sure yet since I didn't add minutes to the sim card.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rasmousein:

well the link is down, is there any way I can have the bat file, and maybe i can change some number in there to make it work whit my phone ?
