Okay, I'm fairly new to all this but I think I did things right. I put the phone in download mode, opened ODIN, filled in the .pit and .tar files to their spots, clicked start, and it seems like nothing's happened. the only thing I noticed is that in the Message box on the bottom left it says "<OSM> all threads completed. (Succeed 0/failed 0)". Is there something else I need to do? My phone is still in download mode and says "downloading..." so I wasnt sure.
[Vibrant Android Development] wildklymr:
Make sure you have the samsung drivers installed. Download samsung kies to get them. Once done, make sure you open odin before you plug the vibrant into the computer. If you are running vista or windows 7 to open odin, right click it and run as administrator. Good luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] mystycs:
Is it me or does this rom feel faster than the originally installed one? What the hell?!?!
[Vibrant Android Development] AnAm85:
Same here. I don't mind faster! Lol...
[Vibrant Android Development] mystycs:
Yea indeed but is there an explanation for this? Its like a totally different phone now!!!!??? It's just so strange..
[Vibrant Android Development] kcbboy:
I'm guessing you don't need root to use odin? Just want to make sure before I try this.
[Vibrant Android Development] boysanjose:
Hello all Brother please help me this one.

On my phone is Samsung Vibrant S, on the "Setting" have one option "Upgrade Firmware" but when I click it the Messages showing No Firmware, at the time now I saw a lots people already upgrade to android 2.2 and most better from 2.1. I am wanna upgrade to 2.2 but I don't want to do by Manually. Please help me this one and how to do Automatic Upgrade thank you so much.

[Vibrant Android Development] flipassassin21:
At the current time there is no official froyo(2.2) update yet. What you see people are doing is upgrading to unofficial froyo updates. But hopefully soon...brother .:rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] Allen K:
I apologize if this has been asked before, but I have a mostly stock Vibrant (unrooted) with the JI5 firmware update that was posted here a couple of weeks ago. If I wanted to flash back to original configuration, would doing a factory reset accomplish the same thing as flashing the firmware in this post? Or is there any benefit of flashing this firmware... would I be able to keep all my apps and settings if I go this route instead of factory reset?

Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Android Development] wi11:
omg i totally thought i bricked my phone!. THanks op for a great find. finally figured it out!!=)
[Vibrant Android Development] belial20xx:
No it wont. You need to flash back to stock. Factory reset just wipes the phone and reverts the current rom you are on to its oem settings.
[Vibrant Android Development] ThC23:
Link not working!

So i tried the link from page one and it says page not found after I click on it.

Anyone else having this problem?

Can you direct me to where I can go to go back to stock, Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] ShinyBuddha:
Click the mirror. samfirmwares dropped that domain name a few days ago.
[Vibrant Android Development] Twitch110:
It says the mirror isn't working. That there are too many people downloading it or something? Will this fix itself? I finally got a pc in my hands, and now the damn link doesn't work!! My luck has just flat out sucked since the update bricked my phone.

If someone could send me that file i would absolutely beyond grateful. I've been trying to get this done for the last two days but my comp decided to crash the same day my phone bricked. PLEASE!

Trying to find True stock 2.1 firmware for the vibrant to download for odin but cannot find and both links that are listed are down. Anyone know where to get it? Thanks. Still looking. Thanks again. Anyone know when Voodoo 5 if/when will be available?
[Vibrant Android Development] VibrantOwnr:
Is this stock as in no touchwiz? I think this may have been mentioned before bit I am just confused.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
no, this is stock to the phone (touchiwiz)

generaly you download a .rar file or some sort of archive, then you unzip that archive and you'll have the .tar and pit files which are used by Odin.

Just wanted to thank you guys for all the help. And big props to all the code gurus for saving my arse.

T-mobile or not?

Hello u all.

I got a vibrant for my wife but it's with Axura ROM.

I heard that the stock rom came with SIMS3 and my wife would like it.

If Sims is in that stock rom i could back it up with Titanium and install another rom of our choice without losing the game.

So is SIMS3 in this ROM?

Thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] porkbeef19:
i am using odin3 1.3 to flash my vibrant back to stock using the .pit and .tar files posted and i am getting stuck on modem.bin. also my screen is light blue on my phone. i dont kno if this is part of the progress or not but it sure is taking a long time. any help?
[Vibrant Android Development] superglamorous:
I just followed the instructions for this and I have The Sims 3 on it again. :)

Side note: can anyone explain the absence of the task manager (when you long press the home key) and the market widget not updating or how to fix it? Minor issues. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Alkaloid:
Since the DL links in the OP appear to be dead, here is another mirror I set up for another member earlier today. I figure since it's up I might as well share it with everyone. Enjoy.

[Vibrant Android Development] psz01:
Taskmanager was added by a later release (JI6, I think it was)

This was the original Vibrant ROM (which was JFD, I think)
[Vibrant Android Development] superglamorous:
Thanks. :) I'll just have to flash ji6 when I get home.

Yes, we did it. It seems like he was able to unlock T-Mobiles HSPA+ speed for Miami, FL. Which apparently isn't out yet.

Great FW, Phone is Blazing fast. But best of all almost 5mb's download :D

can anyone else confirm on the 3g speed getting faster with this FW
[Vibrant Android Development] GameOver69:
Ok great... so the real question is how do you replace it with the file provfided in this thread. can someone post or link detailed instructions.

And if i need to go back to the vibrant rom, is there some file i can use to rever to that, like an update.zip or something?

And does any of this void the warrenty, even if i went back to touchwiz vibrant stock?

Sorry for all the questions, im just very interested in this!
[Vibrant Android Development] WilliamStern:
Sorry for the noob question here, as I'm new at all this.

The only way for me to apply this firmware into my phone is by using Odin? Is this correct, or do I have another option?

Also, by applying this firmware into my phone would I pretty much be starting from scratch, meaning I would need to re-install all my apps all over again?

Sorry for the dumb questions, and thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Niwrad:
ok im a total n00b... I have the odin file and the Stock 2.1 rom ready to go but Im clueless on how to install it.

is there any step by step on how to apply this rom?

Im Rooted by the way.

thank you!
[Vibrant Android Development] rmind01:
Just tested on a third phone same results!
[Vibrant Android Development] WilliamStern:
Can someone post a link to where I can download Odin for Mac?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
I havent seen an OSX compatible version around. You will have to use a VM with windows.

Those needing intructions they can be found here
[Vibrant Android Development] WilliamStern:
Ok cool. How about a link on where to get Odin from? I saw a thread the other day about diff versions of it. I just wanna make sure I have the right one.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] GameOver69:
Ok, so i have found out the answers to my questions, thanks to searching the forums.

But i have a few more questions:

Does this change the bootup and shutdown animations by any chance?

and will this be upgradable to froyo by normal means? either OTA update or PC update.

And is the phone still LOCKED to the T-Mobile Network (without the unlock code)

and finally, i assume the camera loses some of the options or its overlay so to speak from samsung/touchwiz?

Thanks!

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
That's just weird. Does the baseband version differ from stock (T959UVJFD)?

It might be worth trying just to see. My 3G speed hasn't been what I think it should be, even with a very strong signal. And it would be nice to know for sure I can drop back to a known good firmware if I try anything crazy. :)

Sucks that you need Windows and Odin though. I'll have to try at home.
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Its the stock BASEBAND. Not sure why it would be any different or "unlock" anything. This isn't an HSPA+ phone anyways. I'll Hex the radio to double check but I doubt they are different.

EDIT:same speeds as before.
[Vibrant Android Development] rmind01:
I have done it on 3 phones and same results...we had horrible 3g. I had my G1 in the same area and it was great. When I got the vibrant it was constantly getting market errors, downloads were slow most of the time. After flashing this is was a night a day difference. Going to post result from the phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] WilliamStern:
Read your PM.
[Vibrant Android Development] rmind01:
Another test done a few minutes ago...I was not getting near this before.
[Vibrant Android Development] WilliamStern:
Just sent you another. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
Have you re-loaded all your apps and data? Just curious if even just a wipe would make a difference for people. I might try it anyway, even if it doesn't increase the data speeds, it will clean things out and I can start fresh. There's always nandroid and Titanium Backup, which is REALLY fast now. :)

EDIT: Wipe doesn't make a difference.
[Vibrant Android Development] JWhipple:
Waiting to see if anyone else is actually seeing data speed increases with this or not.

Currently here in Merritt Island, FL I am seeing 4351 / 626 on SpeedTest , would love to see better on the upload side, seems to be capped at around 600 here.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
So, how many phones did i fix posting this info? :)
[Vibrant Android Development] iB4STiD:
its been a long day or maybe in my old age i confuse easily... is this rom the stock rom that came with tmo vibrant and if so how is this different than this rom ?

or is this a samsung 2.1 rom stripped of touchwiz?
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
What is soo complex? This is the rom which was shipped with the vibrant. STOCK
[Vibrant Android Development] iB4STiD:
it wouldnt be so complex if you could tell me what is different with this rom compared to THIS ONE :D
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
The other is NOT A ROM. Its just a dump with hacked up stuff.

This is the REAL SHIPPED ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] iB4STiD:
nice.. see that wasnt so complex was it :) .. and complex is my word for today kids ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
We both got these from the same source.

There is no hacked up anything. It is the OFFICIAL ODIN .tar for the release and the same firmware you just linked to as well as instructions and the NANDroid images of JFD that were previously available in ROOTED and UNROOTED forms. Please dont spread mis-info.

The only HACK was Scepterr using the older lib.so in a NANDroid image for those coming from MSGuru's Pre-Release that is no longer hosted for the Radio to work untill we got ahold of an actual release and I'm sure many people were thankful to have their data working in the meantime until Samsung-Firmwares dumped this one on us.
[Vibrant Android Development] iB4STiD:
justanothercrowd: thanx for clearing that up and for sharing the rom with the rest of us !!
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
The whole nan-droid non-sense should be taken down. Because all it does it turn your phone into one big hack. When you can just flash this firmware (which is real) and you get your phone back 100% real. radio/baseband etc. No need for 3G patches / blah blah.
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
The NANDroid may come down but for now they are useful for users that only want to get their system.img back and save their data without having to use a PC. It can be downloaded from the phone and used via recovery unlike the ODIN images. MAC users may find them handy to if they don't have the knowledge to setup a VM and need to get their phone back for return/usability reasons.
[Vibrant Android Development] Arr MiHardies:
Does this also include all the stock apps and junkware?
[Vibrant Android Development] m3ta1head:
This is exactly what I'm wondering...and I hate to be a noob, but could somebody post a step by step procedure to flash to this firmware using odin? I am extremely paranoid about bricking my new toy and don't want to screw it up! :eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] ultra spikey:
Just wondering...on the site, why does it say " If you come from America don't flash! (Ask for a firmware in the forums)"?
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Dont worry about it. its been tested by 20 people here? who had bricked/****ed up phones? and they are all normal now.

its just a random disclaimer they put on their site. its on all pages.
[Vibrant Android Development] AndroidZ28:
It is not that complicated people... What part of STOCK don't you get!?!?

This is the same thing you will get if you go buy another Vibrant. It is the same thing your Vibrant had out of the box...

It is STOCK!
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
amen to that brother
[Vibrant Android Development] rmind01:
My suggestion...if you find your phone laggy, 3g slow,dropping data then flash this. I have done it to 3 vibrants today and my buddies are happy! Also have 2 buddies with captivates and it operates like it.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
You flashed over the stock that was on? Or was this after flashing euro?
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
It doesn't matter what you flash this over. Its a full flash works with odin. Time to play .
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Lol I know I posted it.

I'm just curious
[Vibrant Android Development] GameOver69:
Hmm so wait, so if understand this is NOT stock android 2.1 on the vibrant, but just the stock samsung android 2.1? is that correct?

how is this different from what was posted here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
correct. This is the stock touchwiz 2.1 from samsung, not AOSP 2.1
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
so has anyone reverted back to this from froyo xxJP1, JP2, JP3?
[Vibrant Android Development] joe.kerwin:
I am also confused, this thread is very unclear. This is in a vibrant forum. Therefore if this is stock, we should all have this on our phones already unless we flashed something that we probably shouldn't have. So if its stock why are there talks about increased speeds and such? This is for people that messed things up or what?

EDIT: i'll re-word, what is "the bad radio/baseband"
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
What is soo confusing. If you messed up your phone due to flashing EU firmware. Doing anything else. and you flash this. You will go back to STOCK TMOBILE 2.1 FIRMWARE!

RADIO/KERNEL/PHONE

how much more simple can it be?
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
I get the point, i'm not stupid. I just someone to confirm if they've reverted back to this from JP1/2/3.. have you?
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
No. I do not play with EU firmwares on a US phone. Ask others.
[Vibrant Android Development] joe.kerwin:
Well if this thread is for people who wrecklessely throw stuff from other countries on their US phones that should be noted. Not "OMG SPEED INCREASE! SO FAST!" Of course its faster if you put something you shouldn't have on the phone. And plus I'm almost positive there is another thread that was started well before this one with the same thing as a posted backup.
[Vibrant Android Development] ceroglu:
Question on how to use odin for this firmware update

I get the .pit file, but what about the rest? what do I select for PDA, PHONE and CSC ?

I am assuming with this being stock firmaware I should just use the PDA and sellect the T959UVJFD.rar and leave the CSC and PHONE blank?

Edi: figured it out. Thanks for the firmware, works like charm!
[Vibrant Android Development] AndroidZ28:
Joe is right. It should be noted. Maybe the first post should say something like

"Im running stock so i cant really test it. If any of you are running the bad radio/baseband and are willing to try."

Then we would know.

Oh, wait...
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
There are people in this thread who upgraded to the EU rom. and MS_GURU rom. and went back to total normal using this. Just read the thread.

I have not seen any reports from going from 2.2 (EU) -> back to US(2.1) with this. Im waiting on a report. Im sure someone has done it.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
That was a nandroid backup using clockwork + you needed to flash your radio + other stuff. fix your 3G. I dono. I dont keep track of all the hacks.

This is a simple flash from PC -> Back to normal.

Im not knocking anyone for the progress made. Im just saying this is way easier then fooling around with hacked stuff. Until recent we got this. So, If it was me. Id use this :)
[Vibrant Android Development] kopykatkiller:
Why are you asking for donations from people for posting a link that is from someone else doing work is what I don't understand.....

You have a Vibrant, dev on it.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Because, I am not rich. Im not going to brick my only android.

Im not asking. if you want. give. dont. dont. *shrug* I dont have a gun to your head :)
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
neither are the devs that actually do real development.
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
I've got all these hosted with a post full of instructions on how to actually apply the ODIN images here. If your going to make an OP please provide directions details etc. You just posted a link to another website doesnt do much good if you don't tell the community how to apply it. Again I'm not trying to be rude but there is a certain way things are done around here and there done that way for a good reason.

NOTE: There are no passwords to the files i linked and are direct download from my FTP.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Thanks. We should somehow merge the thread to 1. Since the nandroid way is kinda gone i guess? But, I have not seen a person who flashed 2.2 go back to 2.1 with odin? I had a few ask me. But, i never tested.
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
I'm haven't seen any success stories which worries me. I'm outside the 14 day window so I wont be trying it. Hopefully someone within the return period can let us know.

It may be easier to come back from a TMO 2.2 ROM while we may not be able to come back from the 2.2 EU ROMS..but we dont know quite yet.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
I honestly havent done much searching. Has anyone tried?
[Vibrant Android Development] rmind01:
Rhcp in response to your question earlier. Yes I flashed over two stock vibrants and one euro flashed. The two stock were greatly improved in data communication, also the euro flashed. And yes the 2 stock were wiped to check improvement in data before flash and nada. Its been 18 hours and this phone has been working without any data/3g problems. Now im not exchanging because I tought it was a hardware issue. :)
