[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmky8132:
Using Odin can be frustrating but very effective. When using Odin you should make sure you have your captivate drivers installed in your computer, disable your anti-virus and turn off firewall, if you have any other programs like itunes or htc sync it can prevent the program from running right as well. Make sure you run as administrator and make sure your sim card and micro sd card are out of your phone as well...As far as getting into download mode, have Odin opened and ready to run, hold down both volume buttons and don't let go till your phone shows as added on the program. While holding the volume buttons only put your battery back into your phone and quickly plug your phone into the computer(still holding in the volume buttons) after about 3 seconds your phone will go into download mode and be recognized by odin. You may now release the volume buttons and flash your phone. If I left anything out I aplologize. Good luck.:fingers-crossed:

Hey guys I have a factory unlocked phone which I bought from china, and I also have it rooted, my friend wants me to to update to JB but I'm not sure if I have to unroot my phone to get the update and also if I unroot it will I loose my factory unlock? I'm using it in the United States right now. With carrier t-mobile.. I've also seen other posts about being slow after updating if it's international so what should I do?
[Galaxy S III General] 9Lukas5:
The open bootloader never gets locked in any way ;)

[Galaxy S III General] Jaramal:
What does that mean?
[Galaxy S III General] hd779:
I am using the stock JB and its very fast and smooth. You will have to unroot if you want to update via OTA, I have read others say that you can update via Lies without unrooting, but I can tell you for sure. As for whether you would lose your unlock the short answer is no.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
Admittedly - it's been a while since I have bothered with an ICS/JB ROM due to broken GPS, but it seems that more people are having luck with their GPS, and since I have done the hardware fix and get amazing locks in Froyo, thought I might update to JB.

I can't seem to figure this out.

Phone rooted.

I'm running fishman's axura froyo 2.2 ROM.

I put phone into download mode and start odin.

Choose the standard 512 pit file and the GB bootloader tar.

Flash completes successfully and phone reboots.

Then just sits on the Vibrant start screen.

I then have to get my phone out of soft brick by using fishman's bionix odin flashable tar file ROM.

I've tried checking the "Phone Bootloader Update" box in Odin, but this makes no difference - still get's stuck on the Vibrant start screen.

Any ideas?

Thinking of giving one of the new JB ROM's a try (Hellybean), but need the GB bootloaders installed successfully before I do this.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spurwonof:
Hi,

I assumed that you fulfill complete ODIN steps for stock, but perhaps you missed something, check this out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849028

Also i suggest, after you in stock and get proper CWM for rooting, flash one 2.3.x GB rom first, and then you could flash GB bootloader.

Or you may not need GB bootloader i guess if you want to go JB ROM, just flash GB rom first or ICS then you go to JB rom.

You may try also Heimdall steps.

Hope it helps
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbesfed:
Yo bro, reason why you have issues is because you also odined the 512 pit file. You're not supposed to use the pit file. Just the .tar bootloader. Place that in PDA.

"1. Enter Download mode on your phone.

2. Open ODIN on your computer.

3. Plug in USB and check if ODIN recognizes the phone.

4. Remove all ticks from ODIN, except PDA.

5. Select PDA and browse to the bootloader TAR package file you wish to flash.

6. Click on Flash.

7. If ODIN says PASS, long press power for 10 seconds and it'll reboot, else, repeat 2-6 again... "

^Thats from the thread about bootloaders, not mine.

Heres the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117990
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTz KeeFy:
Hobbesfed is correct but most ics and jb ROMS don't require gb bootloaders anymore. Just be careful flashing bootloaders, if something goes wrong you will hard brick your phone. I do recommend gb bootloaders but it is somewhat of a risk to your phone. Good luck

help helly bean

can i flash the latest helly bean without GB bootloader. Currently i am on paranoid android.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
Yes, this is the thread I used.

I think the problem was that I used the 512 pit file, which I'm thinking re-partitioned stuff and caused the issue.

I noticed that after the flash was showing "PASS" that the phone automatically booted itself, again probably because of using the 512 pit file.

I noticed another poster said that you don't need GB bootloaders anymore? So does that mean I can flash say "Hellybean" straight from a rooted Froyo 2.2 phone? Seems (at least by the massive size (almost 400MB) that Hellybean 'All-in-one' includes kernel/gapps etc. Although the Hellybean OP still says that Gapps need to be flashed, I'm assuming this is in error perhaps from previous builds? Almost 400MB for a ROM is gargantuan so I'd expect gapps and the kitchen sink to be in there!

Not using GB bootloaders sounds sketchy to me, event he Hellybean thread seems to indicate that you need them, or at least be on CM9 to flash, but would love to know if it's possible as I've had historical issues flashing GB bootloaders.....thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbesfed:
For Hellybean, Im pretty sure you still need to flash Gapps. You might not need to anymore, but before when I flashed Hellybean without flashing Gapps, I was missing Gapps. If I were you, I would flash Gapps anyway. Also, the ROM is 400 mb in size because it includes the ROM for Captivate, SGS1, Vibrant, etc. Anyway, according to Toast6977 : "I guess from what I've been reading, GB bootloaders are optional. If you decide to go ahead and flash it then follow the guide and you'll be fine. It takes around 10 seconds to flash." I myself have GB bootloaders and its really not a big deal to flash them. Just dont use the PIT file. Anyway, just follow the instructions from the ROM and you should be okay. I would probably go to ICS before JB but ICS has the EU bug. Which is why I go to GB first, but then you'll need GB bootloaders.

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

Dude..... FACEPALM. You already are past GB. If you arent trying to get on GB, you dont need any GB Bootloaders. Besides, thats why they call them "GB Bootloaders." Also, you're on JB or ICS already. Why would you flash a GB bootloader?... PA is either ICS or JB.... So to answer your question, yes you can flash Hellybean without the bootloader....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinly43:
So, while I've 100% decided to finally get a new, better phone (I'm currently using a T-mob G2, albeit on 4.0.4), and I've decided on the Nexus 4, I'm having a hard time deciding where to get it from. I'm hoping the wisdom of the xda userbase can help me make an informed decision.

I've been a T-mobile customer since 1998, and I don't really see myself leaving anytime soon. I'm on a "classic" plan and due for an upgrade, so the 16GB N4 would be $199 (after mail-in rebate), versus $349 from the play store.

Are there *any* differences between the two models? Not hardware-wise, obviously, but software. Will the carrier version be just as easily rootable as the play store version? If I'll definitely be with T-mobile for the life of the contract, without even considering the ETF then, is there any benefit to getting the unlocked version? My G2 is sim-unlocked, but I haven't used that aspect of it at all in the last two years.

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

-John
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
Hey John!

They are the SAME exact model. Both are unlocked. The one T-Mobile is selling, is the one directly from the play store, just at a lower on-contract price.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinly43:
Thanks for the reply!

When you say the T-mobile one is "unlocked", do you mean completely, or just the bootloader? Not a deal-breaker, just curious.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
The phone will be carrier/SIM unlocked, even if you buy it from T-Mobile.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinly43:
Terrific! So it's just a matter of price, then, which I can certainly figure out myself. Thanks for answering!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
Noo problemmmm
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aces_500:
Hey the $199 cost is actually greater than if you simply bought the phone from the playstore or from tmobile for the value plan. The classic plan prices are much greater than the value plan, I would recommend getting the value plan where it will $200 upfront like the classic but you will pay the rest off monthly. Even with this cost added it is significantly cheaper than classic.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinly43:
I definitely appreciate the advice, and while what you're saying true for most people, I'm not sure if it applies to me. I'm on a family plan that has different contract-end dates for each line; what I've gathered online, then, is that although I'm past the end of my particular line's contract, because others are not we'd have to pay a $200 "migration fee" to change to the value-type plan, which would be $10/month cheaper. The combined extra $150 from the play store (or $350 from the t-mob store) and $200 fee don't offset the $240 saved with the cheaper bill.

On the other hand, I haven't asked in person at a T-mobile store if I'm getting this all correct, and I could easily be wrong. If anyone knows for sure, they could chime in here to let me know I'm right or wrong!

EDIT: Plus, the rest of the family would then not get discounts on their eventual new phones if they were to want them.

Guys i have a question maybe you guys can answer for me. THis is the first time me and my husband have been with a GSM network and i plan on getting the phone through play store BUT here is my question....

"what are you guys talking about when you mention classic plan and value plan? Does tmobile charge you $200 then the extra a month on a regular upgrade if your available for one? Im so confused and have seen this floating around quit a bit. Does it only apply to this phone or do they do this with every phone? with my past carriers i have been able to get a phone when available for an upgrade at the upgrade price without extra a month so i am just curious as to what all this means?" Can someone please explain this to me lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Initial_G:
If I am correct, when you purchase the phone under a value plan you pay $200 but then you also pay a monthly amount in addition to your plan until the phone is fully paid off. The monthly amount you pay in addition to the initial 200 will add up to Tmobile's price for the device without a contract. However if you purchase the device under the classic plan, you pay one flat fee for the phone and there is no additional cost to your monthly plan besides the first months upgrade fee ($35 I believe).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abe in space:
If you (and only you) got off your family plan, you could go to StraightTalk (still using T-Mobile's coverage, or AT&T's if you prefer) and pay $45/mo. for unlimited everything. Is that still more expensive than your portion of your family plan costs? Seems unlikely.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlleN7:
Are you guys sure there are no differences? I just read that the T-Mobile version will be using their HSPA+42, while others will be using +21.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfgilly:
Hello,

I am a noob here and think I found the right place to pose my question. I as well was wondering if there is any difference from purchasing through T-Mobile (at the $199 price with contract) as opposed to on the Play Store, and it sounds like the phones will be the same.

I have, however, read many articles indicating that WiFi calling (T-Mobile's service) will not be available on the Nexus 4 if you purchase through T-Mobile.

Can someone please confirm that if I purchase the phone through Google Play instead, that I still will not be able to use T-Mobile's WiFi calling service, or is this specific to the "T-Mobile" model only? I know I can still use VoIP apps, but that they are not the same.

(The reason I feel forced into purchasing from T-Mobile is that I am leaving the country for vacation on the 16th, and will not be able to ship to my destination. When I called Google, they pretty much told me there is no chance it will arrive by the 15th).

Thanks!!

This is what the wife and daughter are doing. Daughters phone was first, bought a new phone and switched to straightalk. After dropping my daughters phone, spare line and T-Mobile VOIP, the bill went down to ~$100/month. If you change any plans they will restart your 2 year agreement. So make sure you ask before changing from a family plan to single plan. My wife has 6 months left on her contract, $100 to get out early. Calculated it out and we are going to StraightTalk on her phone NOW instead of waiting, AT&T SIM is ordered (she is using my old AT&T Samsung Captivate) We will break even in 1 1/2 months and way ahead if we waited until the end of the contract. With the money saved I'm going to buy her a Nexus 4 and save a lot over the cost of a 2 year contract.
