I've checked that and they are good. I've since found out, ADB will not communicate with my phone. So the message to reboot into recovery won't work. I have debugging mode on. I used USBDeview and that's how I found out ADB didn't communicate. So I'm there now, so far I think that's the only thing I need now.
[Vibrant Android Development] BCBrad:
Oh, good, because that's what I did :) Glad it was the right step...
[Vibrant Android Development] moon_man_e:
DOES NOT WORK ON THE EPIC :( are you planning on releasing a version that works on this model?
[Vibrant Android Development] steveruv:
very much appreciated for someone like me who would probably fumble with the button presses.

great work guys, THANKS!

If i wish to unroot anytime with this program, how can i get it back to stock with no root, as if i first bought it? I heard that if i do a factory reset while rooted it still is rooted, how would i get to a factory reset unrooted?
[Vibrant Android Development] raziel26:
if you just click unroot providing you did not flash a custom rom you will go to stock all root does is provide you with 3 files to give root access take those away no root.
[Vibrant Android Development] mystycs:
so if i delete stuff and add stuff ect, to get back to no rooted stock can I just unroot and do factory reset or do I have to odin? Basically I wanna know how to get back to non rooted stock if I wish to in the future after being rooted.
[Vibrant Android Development] ShinyBuddha:
As the original post says, this will root/unroot. If you wish to restore just unroot...

Hate to be a jerk but even someone like me who hasn't done anything to their phone (new to the scene) can understand that from the first post.
[Vibrant Android Development] mystycs:
The reason i asked it was because people where telling me i cant restore back to normal once i unroot and do factory reset to normal, they told me it wont do the factory reset with unroot, that itll still be rooted.
[Vibrant Android Development] raziel26:
Only if you just factory reset will you stay rooted but just click the unroot option let it do its thing and your set man no need to factory reset after.i have done this several times.
[Vibrant Android Development] reyese24:
so does this work on hardware locked vibrants sorry if this has been asked already
[Vibrant Android Development] Rattor:
Does rooting using this method wipe everything, i.e. will I have to go through the whole setup process again and redownload all my apps?

newbie issues?

Hi All,

I'm trying this out after seeing it a while ago and not getting around to it. Unfortunately I'm seeing an issue that I don't think I've seen thus far in reading this thread or others.

When I plug my phone into my mac I don't seem to really get connected. Here is more detail. I've got usb debug mode set to on, I connect the vibrant to the mac, I run the one click root application on my mac then click the root me button, and it tells me my phone is in recovery mode, but I don't really think that the application has put anything on my phone and certainly has not started the recovery / reboot process. No shell window pops up as shown in the windows demo video, but I'm not sure this should happen on the mac version...

Maybe I need help with getting my Mac to properly talk to my Vibrant? Any pointers would be helpful. Thus far I've used dropbox to move files to/from my vibrant as the usb doesn't / hasn't seemed to work properly.

Thanks,

Jim

any update for xxJPH firmware?

Hi,

I'm using xxJPH firmware on my Galaxy S. Your program unfortunately does not work for this fw. It gives "signature verification failed" error when applying update.zip. Is there any fix or update on your tool?

Many thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] drunkenmastera:
i cannot get the root to work.

I keep trying it and it said cannot copy update. Directory or file is not found.

I think that sdcard directory was deleted some time ago.

Should I restore the folder?
[Vibrant Android Development] ibuddha:
Can anyone tell me where I can get the update.zip? I deleted after root and now I can't use super user to back up my stock rom before flashing one of eugene's roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] ErBear:
I have tried multiple times to root my Vibrant by carefully following the video and steps. I have the update.zip file on the internal memory, usb debugging on, phone unmounted, framework installed, and the drivers installed. I keep getting:

"E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted."

I've researched the "Status 7" issue and it seems to be a doozy to fix it. My phone operates great and all but I just can't get it rooted. I've noticed that anyone that brings up anything related to the sd card seems to get shunned in pretty much every forum relating to rooting. Please don't shun me lol, I may be a n00b but I'm not an ignorant one. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Just wanna get all this bloatware off my phone!

Superuser app crashes after i click on Log tab. Is this a normal problem?
[Vibrant Android Development] slc334:
Hi, I'm brand new and I would like to thank you all for all of your hard work! I have a bell vibrant and have followed this forum to a tee (except for replacing "root" with one that I found that includes the i9000m. My problem is that when I try to backup my stock rom using ROM manager, it doesn't list the i9000m, and if I use i9000 it crashes during reboot. Is there a way to add the i9000m into the list?
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
yes its normal.

once you allow a root requested app the log tab will not crash any more.
[Vibrant Android Development] warsteiner00:
Thank you sir.

And thanks for the program.

[Vibrant Android Development] december.underground:
I am currently on ji6 and I rooted with this just fine and with no issues, but be careful aim of the apps that I had running before on ji5 soft brick your phone on the update. I can't aunt the froyo unlock screen anymore and some themes won't anymore either.

Beer is good....or Swype failure.

I actually have read this post ten times and still do not have a ****ing clue what it means. lol.

Made me want to get a beer though...
[Vibrant Android Development] trunkstar1:
That's funny, because I just drank one while trying repeatedly to figure out the same thing. I need a solid way to root/unroot so I can do titanium and ROM manager backups before using Odin to flash JI6, all without bricking my phone, AGAIN.
[Vibrant Android Development] Maazer:
Also wondering the same.
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
what do you mean that apps would soft brick my phone?

i have watched the video and damn! that was easy, i'm just afraid that the process might screw up and brick my phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] CitrixLemon:
I *THINK* what he's trying to say is that it worked fine after he was JI6, but when he was JI5 it soft bricked him when he updated to JI6 (as has happened to many people myself included).
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
so this is really safe with the JI6 right? i want to use my phone at its fullest :D
[Vibrant Android Development] thechadhall:
used this program to root both the JFD and the JI6 firmware. i didn't have any issues with either.
[Vibrant Android Development] CitrixLemon:
UPDATE: I just used this twice after flashing JI6 with Odin. Works fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] ionic7:
I just used this and it rooted great, but following your next steps on backing up my old recovery I am having issues, when I tell rom manager to do it, it reboots, tries to, then says E: cache update.zip failed. Any input would be fantastic
[Vibrant Android Development] kawasaki500:
Help, What's next.

I'm with tmobile and I have the samsung Vibrant with 2.1 update (Eclair), please let me know if for sure this procedure is compatible with my phone.

thanks, i will wait for your answer, and second what next how you delete the application you want.
[Vibrant Android Development] likeitnot:
Just wanted to say thank you very much for this. You all here at XDA are incredible and I can't sing your praises enough.

With that being said, I unrooted my phone now because I have to send it back because this one the volume rocker is way to loose, like ridiculously for no reason (I only had it 2 days)... anyway I rooted phone but did no flashing so when I unrooted using this, I completely wiped all signs of rooting away correct, or do I need to manually do some files as well? I assume it's unrooted correctly (I d/l Terminal Emulator and typed in "su" (w/o the "'s) and it came back "su not found")

I would like to apologize for being a noob at this (well at least a noob here) but I just want to make sure before I send the phone back. I will also be restoring factory settings when the other phone gets here too.

Thx again!!!!!!!

*edit* I just noticed in my app list under settings I have "com.noshufou.android.su" .... I thought the unroot got rid of that or do I manually?>

I deleted it anyway thru settings/applications.
[Vibrant Android Development] december.underground:
lol omg sorry guys i was so out if it when i posted that lol, what i meant was it roots your phone fine on ji6 and ji5 with no issues. My problem was i reloaded a nandroid back up with the lock screen mod that worked on ji5 but not with ji6 so it soft bricked my phone. So my warning here is make sure you have at least one completely stock nandroid back up. Matter of fact i have rooted my phone with this program about 6 more times with no issues, i soft bricked my phone a few times trying to get a lock screen to work lol i hope this clears up your questions. Now i do need a beer lol
[Vibrant Android Development] december.underground:
Make sure you delete the update.zip file that gets pushed to you /sdcard then try it again and it should work, the only time i got that error was when i forgot to delete the update.zip file.
[Vibrant Android Development] skychaser2004:
Worked flawless. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
It doesn't seem to work with the GT-I9000T model. It's on 2.1 update 1. I don't get the reinstall packages option.
[Vibrant Android Development] yungballla6:
UN ROOT

so i have a completely stock nandroid backup. all i would do is restore that and then follow the one click unroot?
[Vibrant Android Development] december.underground:
Yes after you got back to stock you can just unroot, or you can flash back to stock with odin and you will also be unrooted. I would recommend using odin instead to go back to stock and be unrooted, its a useful program and learning to use it will and can prove to be useful later on.
[Vibrant Android Development] Taelor:

Hmm well I get to the reboot screen and i select apply sdcard update but it just says "E:signature verification failed Installation aborted" everytime?
[Vibrant Android Development] Quadcam:
Hello,

I'm having a difficult time unrooting my Bell Galaxy S and I was wondering if I can use your program on my phone.

In your instructions for unrooting, it states-" If you rooted using another process you can use this process to un-root as long as you didnt load a rom that created links to busybox.". How do I know whether or not the update.zip file I used created links to busybox?

The unrooting technique that I've been trying without any luck is the one by BackfireNL here on XDA, with the thread title-"[HOWTO] [REF] (un)root your SGS I9000 the easy way (keep all your data) (Eclair 2.1)". Basically what's happening is I can boot into recovery mode via the easy reboot recovery script, but when I attempt to apply the update.zip, I get the following error (the same thing happens using the three button technique)-

can’t open /sdcard/update.zip

(no such file or directory)

installation aborted

Please help, it will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much,

Cam
[Vibrant Android Development] december.underground:
Use odin to flash back to stock, that unroots you by default. I am not exactly if that works on your phone but if odin is available for your phone that should do the trick.
[Vibrant Android Development] gurubomber:
Am I missing something or is ODIN a Windows only app?

Hey guys,

Total newb here. Awesome site and thanks for the excellent info. Have read every question in this entire thread and am getting ready to take the plunge.

One question though, I downloaded a link for the ODIN app and it is a windows app (.exe). Is there a Mac version or am I a total tard? (I have a sneaking suspicion as to the answer so please be gentle....I'm disabled....by beer)

Thanks

As far as I know there is no Mac version of Odin.

Awesome app, just one thing, had to change updater-script to include telus' "sgh-t959d" it originally had two "sgh-t959" simple fix with note pad. Thanks to Omega1 for the tip. Have to change in root and unroot file

Bell Vibrant Nooby!

A few questions (apologies if I have missed answers elsewhere)

- which should ideally come first if I want to do both - rooting or unlocking?

- has anyone used the rooting process provided in this forum on a Bell Vibrant?

- how will rooting and/or unlocking affect the Froyo upgrade? (when it has been perfected of course!)

- if I root and need to send the phone for some other service issue is it simply a case of unrooting?

If someone has rooted the BV are there any changes that were needed? Most of the users seem to be on T-Mobile and I know there are differences.

[Touch Cruise General] niko83dk:
Good evening everyone,

I gladdly use my HTC polaris for 2years with at least 4 days of life ( with HSDPA, WIFI , only GSM) and running WM6.5 since the begginning.

Few weeks ago, I was using the GPS on car when the phone started to reboot few times.

I feel he was very very hot, and it continue to reboot ( usb car plug in )and get hot. ( I had to use the GPS to drive to my destination !)

:eek:

After this experience, the phone barely has a 1 day of battery life after a full charge.

I naturly thought that the battery overheat and my usb car plug has a problem..

I bought a new battery on 10000volts.com web site ( seems to be an 1350mAh )

=> Same battery life after a full charge.

I've tried to desactivate hardware not used but everything was already desactivate.

I also make an Hard reboot and with both genuine and new battery, I had the same problem.

The phone don't seems to become hot anymore.

Is there any clever guy who can give me any information, tests to know what is the problem ?

Thank a lot.:)
[Touch Cruise General] mmelo76:
Hi!

Try installing a new RADIO!
[Touch Cruise General] niko83dk:
I am using the 1.59.44.02 since I switch to WM6.5 and everything look good to me ?

With Radio version you suggest me to install ?

Thank a lot.

I keep you informed of the battery performance.

Always in all my gadgets use the latest, however I dont have a polaris for suggest for the better, but the tip above looks good!

=> 25% drop in 3 hours.

( Gess it is the same problem )

and sound problem during call, no one hear me , no camera, i switch to the old radio
[Captivate General] born_fisherman:
Something new - under Wifi Settings/Advanced - I have Wi-Fi set to sleep when display is off..

This doesn't seem to be the case. My WiFi is Always on.

I would imagine that the icon would disappear like it does when WiFi is turned off.. but when the phone is asleep and then wakes up, the WiFi connection is still there.

Anything I can try to fix this? I have tried changing the WiFi sleep policy to the other 2, then changing it back to display power - didn't work.

I did have to reboot the phone last night because I couldn't get WiFi to turn off, but I don't have a problem today with turning it on or off.. just won't go to "sleep"
[Captivate General] MendedEagle:
It may be turning off and you just don't notice it. Cause I know that as soon as I turn on the display again its maybe half a second and then the wifi is back on. So you may be missing the switch.

I also notice that I have to leave the display off for a good two or three mins for it to turn off.
[Captivate General] born_fisherman:
Is there a way to find out how long you are connected to an Access Point?

I am noticing a big difference in battery drain when WiFi is turned completely off, then when it is in the "Sleep" mode.

Really? Did any one else reporte this bug?

Will check today after the 026
[XPERIA X10 General] shitnab:
I've had this problem in every single update. Never worked for me, and I am to living in a non good reception area :-\ its rather annoying.
[XPERIA X10 General] j4mm3r:
Thats why I asked....

I don't live in an area with bad reception and apparently the X10 doesn't suffer from antennagate (sic), I haven't been able to reproduce this problem at all. Thats why I asked this question.

Makes me wonder if this problem has been there all along? However, the guy in the blog post does mention that the update to R2BA020 did resolve his problem... and others claim that it exits in R2BA020 also (see earlier posts), so I don't really know whats the truth value behind this claim.
[XPERIA X10 General] TechGuru_x10:
I checked with enabling and disabling Flight mode, wireless works...
[XPERIA X10 General] j4mm3r:
Dude... isnt airplane mode supposed to turn off all radios off anyways?

Anyways, the reported issue seems to be more like a side effect of the cellular reception dropping... which in turn causes wifi to loose connection as well.
[XPERIA X10 General] TechGuru_x10:
I am aware of that, however, i was creating the scenario or I have to wait for my network to drop...Which is rare....:-)

Let me know how can i recreate this without Flight Mode.....
[XPERIA X10 General] j4mm3r:
My point exactly.... ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] shitnab:
U can do that with that silver paper u use to pack food with, put that around ur phone and reception should drop dead
[XPERIA X10 General] TechGuru_x10:
Then I am happy that I am not in Poor Network...
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
If you're using switchpro widgets you have the option to turn off network signal keeping wifi on (even GPS or Bluetooth) with the airplane mode.
[XPERIA X10 General] phatb0y:
Yup. Its back. WiFi only remains on when I'm in an area where I wouldn't need to be using WiFi anyway. Great.

I use WiFi (or used to, prior to this last update) at home where the reception is poor. I can just about get a GSM signal indoors, 3G is out of the question, and even then my phone will frequently drop its connection altogether. Before this last update it wasn't too much of a problem as the WiFi remained on regardless of the quality or presence of a mobile signal.

Now I'm back to the good old days of losing my WiFi every time my X10 hunts for a new cell.
[XPERIA X10 General] sathurnn:
for me the same as always! gsm connection drop and so wifi connection....damn SE!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] demarant:
Confirmed bug exists in BA023.

I am in an area with poor gsm coverage and when I loose gsm connection I also loose wifi connection. I have to wait until I get gsm connection again and disable-enable wifi to get wifi working. Note that my wifi access point is 2meters from my phone.

I hope this get solved soon.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
What's the "Wifi bug"?

I've never had any problems with connecting to my wifi network. Then again, I almost never have less than 3 bars with my phone signal.
[XPERIA X10 General] sspicer:
Yep its back.. I live in a poor signal area and it now keeps cutting out each time I lose gsm signal and each time it comes back.

Battery is a lot better as well and the unlock swipe seems more smoother.

One step forward one step back!
