[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiwinopoulos:
Hello,

I upgraded my Samsung Vibrant to Froyo 2.2 with Samsung Kies Mini several months ago. I reverted to Eclair 2.1 with Odin in order to install ClockworkMod Recovery and unlock my phone. Now my phone is unlocked, rooted and with ClockworkMod Recovery installed.

1. I want to flash custom ROMs based on either Gingerbread or ICS. I tried to unlock my bootloader by following the instructions on addictivetips.com (when I typed "fastboot oem unlock" it only reboots the phone). Why is it not asking me if I want to unlock the bootloader?

2. I did a Nandroid Backup and I wonder if I need to backup the boot partition anyway. If so, is it OK to do it with RomDump?

3. Since I reverted to Eclair 2.1, does that mean I have an Eclair bootloader? Or do I still have the Froyo bootloader? Will Gingerbread bootloaders work on ICS based ROMs?

Last... Could you please recommend ROMs to flash with Odin? The one I found on CyanogenMod comes with problems when dialing 911 :p

Thank you for your patience!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
Your rooted, and you have CWM. Your making it more difficult that need be.

Flash the ROM in CWM, with install zip from SD. Follow flashing instructions in the OP of the ROM.

There are custom GB bootloaders, I have them, but some people don't use them.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiwinopoulos:
Hello again... Yesterday I was looking for some JB ROMs, and I found a tutorial on "How to upgrade the Vibrant T959 to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean via Helly Bean custom ROM" and it says it requires the GB bootloader (can I flash Helly Bean without it?). Then I went to CyanogenMod and the latest stable releases are CM7; for CM10 there are only nightly builds. I found a tutorial on how to install CM10 and it doesn't mention anything about the GB bootloader.

I was tempted to flash Helly Bean but the bootloader requirement confuses me. I don't know if I should keep looking for other ROMs, ignore the bootloader thing :silly: or settle with CM10.

Thank you for your patience!

:o
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
As far as I know its not necessarily a requirement anymore, but maybe someone will post more detailed info for you. My buddy Samsgun357 has been on about every build of these JB ROMs you can think of, and has never flash GB bootloader.

On the other hand, I've been flashing around in the JB world, and I flash GB bootloader long ago. It's pretty painless and you only need to do it once. After you have GB bootloader its backward compatible, and so far forward compatible.

It takes about 30 seconds to actually Odin flash and its over. As long as you follow the guide to the letter, and you have a solid connection with Odin, you'll be fine.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117990

There's a link to the correct thread, if you end up choosing to flash GB bootloader.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiwinopoulos:
I appreciate all the help you have given me... I wish I could say I'm enjoying my new ROM, but something went wrong (probably I messed up) and now my phone is done. It won't get past the "Vibrant" screen, it won't boot into recovery and to make matters worse, the computer won't recognize the device. Now I have to read threads about bricked phones :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
Did you flash new bootloader? If you did, you may be unaware that the button combo for download mode, and recovery mode has changed.

Your phone is more than likely not "done".

Try pulling battery and micro SD and sim all out, and now depending on which bootloader you have, hold your button and pop battery in, and plug USB cable in. One fluid swift motion.

We'll get ya straightened out :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiwinopoulos:
I didn't flash a new bootloader.

I could get the phone on Download Mode. I opened Odin and loaded the pit & tar files in order to get to stock JFD. COM is on and after hitting Start the first cell says "set partition" but the progress bar is empty. Is not doing anything now but I don't know if its safe to unplug and do it again or try to open Recovery and restore my Nandroid backup instead :eek:

Please bear with me :p
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiwinopoulos:
Nevermind... I'm back to stock with Odin. I'll keep on trying until I get it :p

Thank you for your help!

Are any of the custom ROMS undervolting the Display? I have read that there are some AMOLED smart phones that can have the Display undervolted to help the battery life. ( read it a while back on a list of features a custom ROM had on an older samsung phone. I forget which one is it)

You can just download 'screen filter' from play store. It dimms the display beyond its capability thus saving battery life (like a whole lot) , try it out its FREE

No, it does not. It applies a filter overlay onto the screen. It doesn't actually lower the brightness.. and that's not even what he's asking.

[General Questions and Answers] Reasons4Android:
Today, about 20 min ago my galaxy s3 froze for the first time I had it ( about 3 month). So I press the power button to check the screen and saw that wifi wasn't on. I check the notification it was turned off when It was on just a while ago. When i went to click it to turn it on. My phone completely froze, everything was on the screen was stuck on the notification page and no matter what i press it was just stuck there. I had to hold down the power button for 20 sec to do a soft reset. Its now back to normal but I was wondering if this was because of some kind of wifi crash?

Today's installed app:

Adobe air ( no clue what it does yet)

file manager ( well installed last night before bed)

Nothing else was installed.

Oh and I was also wondering my ram is always at 1.2 gb+ out of 1.59gb. Is this a start of some kind of software or hardware problem? or is it normal for a phone to sometime freeze like that. My first smartphone, my dumb phone has never froze before so kind of worry.

Sorry I'm a noob with android but I love it! Just want to make sure and take early precaution before anything really serious happen. Thanks!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dougdelong:
I am running the newest version of viper 4g, 2.02 on my LTE. We had an upgrade so I thought I would try out the galaxy S3, dont ask me why. I was going to give my daughter the LTE. They put the new phone on my phone number and when they tried to put my daughters number on the LTE they never could get it to work. After making several attempts at puting my daughters number on the LTE without any success they said the problem was the phone was rooted and they gave me the phone back.

Do I need to go back to stock to solve this problem? Any help or ideas I would be very grateful.

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Factory reset should work. It isn't because your phone is rooted. That changes nothing. Try a stock rom and/or a factory reset.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
A factory reset won't help, but you may have to load a stock style rom. Viper is a probably too customized for the Sprint rep to figure out. Being rooted has nothing to do with it.

They did a factory reset in the store and that didnt help. I will install a different ROM and see if they can get it going from there. Thanks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
Different ROMs have different issues... I'm on the CM10 and tested it earlier this evening and it's fine. A little slow to lock on but I think that had to do with the fact I was inside and nowhere near a window or anything.

Which one are you running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dave_k605:
I've tried almost every jb rom over the last few montgs .....if I flash back to a tw rom its golden.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
JB ROM's in general are going to have more issues that TW. There is no real code for our variant yet so all the devs are doing a patch job basically. A good one, but still it's not the code that works best with our phones they're kinda 'working blind'. That being said, some ROMs work perfect for some people and not so perfect for others. CM10 seems to have very few people having problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] glsec507:
I am running one of the cm10 versions and had the same crappy GPS. I fixed it by going into settings while in my maps app and making sure the GPS isn't trying to work via a Bluetooth gps connection. Once I checked that off the GPS worked just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] theraptscallion:
I've been running AOSP roms since around 9/5 and my GPS works sorta fine. It will lock like nobody's business in all the market apps and google maps. In Google navigation, however, it will lose lock after 15 or twenty seconds. Switching to a third party app will re-acquire the lock almost instantly, but it makes navigation almost useless. I've taken note of multiple other people having the same problem, but nobody seems to have found a solution.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] beaverslayer:
Will do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] beaverslayer:
Thought I should update this thread with what I've found so far. After doing some extensive internet research and studying photos, it looks like the sgh i777 has a different power button than the international version. On the i777, the button looks modular and soldered directly to the board. I finally got the phone in my hands and decided to change kernels and the ROM. She was running stock ics with the latest dream kernel. She also had a lot of suspect apps installed from the playstore. I downloaded 10/17/12 AOKP and 7/26/12 gapps, rebooted into recovery with the Quick Boot app, wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache/dalvik, formatted system, flashed AOKP, flashed gapps, wiped cache/dalvik again, booted back to recovery to be on the new kernel and then rebooted the phone. Button has worked every since and no more random reboots. May have fixed it, we'll see. The phone is only 10 month old so it's still under warranty, but it looks like it's been throwed onto the ground about 100 times so they probably wouldn't warrant it. If it gives me any more trouble I may open it up. Oh, and it's hard to believe she hasn't cracked the screen on this thing yet. She broke 4 iPhone screens in a year and a half before she got this phone. Pretty tough phone. For some reason, I can't convince her to keep a case on it.
