Im not sure what it is about that pre-release ROM but my device never felt right after flashing it. I swapped it out and got a new one.

I got my phone running on pre-release, other then the fact that its choppy, I have no real problems.

This nandroid backup from here worked super fast but no 3g or camera hehe.

I got the prerelease tom on my phone and it feels just like it did day one... A while lit better than a black screen that I was rocking for 10 hours...
[Vibrant Android Development] chaoscentral:
such a shame... cant use this without data, both rooted and unrooted same issue. oh well...

Make sure you wipe and clear the caches. I tested mine on another vibrant and it worked fine.

Same here me and a pal were swapping back and forth without issue. Neither of us had the pre-release ROM previously flashed.

Those having issue did you have the pre-released flashed first?

[Vibrant Android Development] ad3qz:
hi guys,

i have a t-mobile vibrant with baseband T959UVKB1, with bionix 1.3.1 and overstock kernel, locked to any network except t-mobile network.

Last time i unlock it with SGS unlock, but it was unsuccessfull. no code found like the software said. at last i searched this forum for unlock, and i found it, so i unlocked the vibrant with the software. it was successfull, but my baseband was unknown after restart.

then i tried to update the kernel with cwm7, and i found the vibrant in bootloop, with cwm recovery v3.0.2.8. i can't even go back to bionix and overstock.

then i came to this thread, i did the tutorial written in the first post, i downloaded all files, t959uvjfd.tar and 512.pit file.

i update the vibrant with odin3 v1.70, it was successfull. but now the vibrant is in blank screen. i try to take out the battery, hold vol up+down, plug the battery in, then reinsert the battery, now my vibrant is in download mode.

maybe i download the wrong tar file in this case.

does anyone here have a link to t959uvkb1 tar file? or can anyone give me a sollution to unbrick my vibrant?

any help will be appreciated.

thanks.

UPDATE:

i finally found t959uvkb1.tar, then update with odin. at last my vibrant goes back to stock tmo recovery.

but i can't install any rom in my internal sd-card or external sd-card.

what should i do?

2) One link is reported as a phishing site by Google, one link (dropbox) is disabled.

How long does the process take?

I added

1) T959UVJFD.tar to PDA

2) s1_odin_20100512.pit to PIT

3) hit start, and its bin saying <ID:0/005> File analysis.. for like one hour already, and stuck on that.

Any ideas ?
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
Re - download the files, restart the process.

Make sure you power off the phone, remove the battery.

Get into download mode by Connect the usb with the Vol Up and Down,

and that is it.

[Vibrant Android Development] rhondahz:
Finally...

I tried to get this to work so many times, I literally thought I was screwed. Each time it would get stuck at different steps: cache, pit mapping etc. Screen even turned green one time. Each time I just unplugged it, popped out the battery and tried again. I have been trying for the last 5 hours straight. As soon as I changed to the port in the back of my Windows 7 64 bit machine, bam it worked first time.

Just thought I would post this here to help others.

Depends on how you do it. Always back up your info whenever doing any Modding. Never leave things to chance.
[Vibrant Android Development] rodolfo7171:
ok so im having problems. ive gone through this process at least 3 times now with 3 different downloads. once from using everything from the AIO Vibrant toolbox, another time using t959uvjfd from a link i found on youtube and ever time it goes into recovery mode the MBR checksum fail and another error when formatting and i dont know what to do. any help would be appreciated

---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 AM ----------

hey were you able to get through it. Im coming from cm7 and i cant get it to restore. as soon as it flashes and gets into recovery md5 checksum fails and so does formating DATA, but after that the phone starts to boot then goes to a black screen and never actually starts up
[Vibrant Android Development] JunoonX:
You need to use ODIN to flash the stock images, it will not work through recovery.

Get odin running, put your phone in download mode (vol up or vol down + pwr), then odin should find your phone on a com port. Then flash away. Read the first post by OP.
[Vibrant Android Development] thrutheeyes:
Phone no longer will boot up with connected via usb to a computer or it will shut down if booted onto android and then connected via usb to a pc. Not a computer issue... what's wrong with android?
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
You.......
[Vibrant Android Development] thrutheeyes:
I promise it's not :) I've got a strong IT background so I'm not a major novice.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Well you suggested something is wrong with Android, if that was true then we would all have your issues, and we don't. So, its either your particular phone, your computer, or how you are implementing and doing things.

I have three computers here and all three work flawlessly with my Android device.
[Vibrant Android Development] thrutheeyes:
I didn't mean there was something wrong with Android, I'm just saying if this guide has had the same effect on other devices as we all know all devices arn't the same and effects can vary.

I'm guessing it's hardware related but strange for it to stop working before the stock 2.3 worked fine. Will just get a 2.2 ROM on there to test.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yes try and test a few things. I'd suggest flashing JFD several times to get a feel of the routine. Or do what I do these days and use Heimdal Vibrant OneClick JFD. As the name suggests it takes any possible mistakes out of your hands...
[Vibrant Android Development] thrutheeyes:
Thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] ender03:
I'm having the same trouble and haven't been able to correct it
[Vibrant Android Development] pkopalek:
My Vibrant was on the latest firmware.

I flashed a kernel that was in the cyanogenmod wiki, through Heimdall.

The phone wouldn't boot (screen would go black).

Then I am trying to Odin the Vibrant. I have the right files with the right MD5 hash.

Followed all directions.

At the very end of the process, I get a red FAIL! and the phone is a brick. Turning it on just gives a screen with a mobile phone with a computer next to each other, with a yellow exclamation mark triangle in between.

Can't boot. Even Download Mode doesn't have the big yellow symbol like normal.

EDIT:

The download problems have been resolved by using a higher version of ODIN, and clicking re-partition when doing a PIT file (duh).

However, the phone still won't boot. I posted in another thread about this for help, instead of here, with respect to WOodrube.
[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:

Help please
[Vibrant Android Development] ioancr:
Just to be sure, did you try this: turn off, pull out the battery and reinsert it after 10 sec, hold vol up and vol down butons and then connect the USB cable (already inserted to a USB port of a PC)? It worked ALWAYS for me. It is actually a default "download mode" for Sony Xperia also.
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
OK this is assuming your USB port/cord is good to go. This was tried and successful with the same issue you are having.

Pull your battery, plug the cord into the computer and your phone.

While holding both vol up and down, pop the battery back in the phone. This can be tricky sometimes so keep trying. It has been successful with this exact situation when nothing else worked.

Thanks to the power of zen!
[Vibrant Android Development] shimmer401:

[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
I noticed the MIMO thread that just popped up mentions no data with that hack either. I'm thinking there may be a radio issue/incompatibility with the pre-release ROM and the release and NANDroid isnt backing up and restoring the radio etc.

I dont remember this issue with G1's and NANDroid backups as we were all prob on the latest Radio.
[Vibrant Android Development] wpbcubsfan:
When we flashed the pre-release ROM, we were told to have the "Re-Partition" box checked. Could that have screwed everything up?
[Vibrant Android Development] sxfx:
No, cause I forgot to have that box checked when I did mine hehe. And Im still having problems.
[Vibrant Android Development] wpbcubsfan:
So is there any way to dump a radio or are we screwed?
[Vibrant Android Development] sxfx:
More then likely yes. It might have to be done through odin though.
[Vibrant Android Development] chaoscentral:
definately radio, after trying again, and even reflashing the stock kernel(which fixed the camera btw) it still says T959UVJE8 under baseband. so if someone with a stock phone can somehow extract the baseband and make a package for odin we would be all set.
[Vibrant Android Development] rmind01:
You are right we need T959UVJFD

you may want to double check the /dev/block make sure it is the same one on your device were the system is mounted

adb shell

# dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/system bs=4096

[EDIT] you need to have a sdcard formated as fat32 to use the BS=4069. If it is formatted as Fat/Fat16 then it will be bs=1024
[Vibrant Android Development] kopykatkiller:
Flashed my phone earlier today and didn't notice the lack of data off wi-fi, just came in from being out all night after being completely dataless in 3g and Edge areas.

I had asked about basebands in IRC but no one there knew, but it is good to know that I am not the only one experiencing this. There must have been something that didn't get dumped in the stock recovery restore that is causing this.

/me needs to learn to read all the posts...but anyway....yeah...was wi-fi all day til I went out tonight, went to look up things and and no data, used the G1 I passed on to my g/f to download the non-root thinking maybe something was wrong and flashed it, but same results, only thing that happened was I got *****ed at for being more concerned about my phone working than talking to her g/f's. :P

but the OP has md5=ad0e4709593eb13c8494e62ebd949f17

Does this mean there was a problem downloading or am I misunderstanding this?

But I do hope this helps, I have no WiFi or 3G issues, and havent been touched by MS_Guru ROM or beta recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
stl9 is not the radio. Its just the system partition nothing else.

bml0!c is the entire flash area and can be dumped as well. Which should include all bml/stl partitions and be around 500MB

As of now I havent zeroed down which partition is the actual radio but will get to it when i have some more free time.
[Vibrant Android Development] toeshot:
Do you want the entire dump then on the bml0?
