also my phone shows up in ODIN as com4 instead of com7, can I still flash firmware with that id? I can't seem to get it to id as com7
[Vibrant Android Development] designerfx:
Bingo. Glad to see effort but nothing ms has done appears reliable for other people nor has msguru provided a lot of anything that shows success. Where are the videos? The screen shots?
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
I flashed on COM3 and COM4 doesn't seem to make any difference as far as ODIN is concerned.
[Vibrant Android Development] rmind01:
The COM ports do not matter....Plug it to a different USB port and watch it change. It's just how ODIN communicates with the USB port.
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
Thanks jac, ill be flashing this froyo in a bit and just wont revert till guru figures a safe way back to stock
[Vibrant Android Development] scepterr:
I really wouldn't yet. Theres no guarantee there will be a way back, till we get a newer Vibrant ODIN update.
[Vibrant Android Development] scotolsen:
Now that there is a true stock rom, does that make flashing this safer to come back from?

[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
oh let em, after all we need guinea pigs to find out if there really is no way back :eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] setzer715:
Now that we have the stock firmware to flash back to, thanks to rhcp0112345 for finding it, there shouldn't be much risk anymore.

@ms_guru have you flashed the jp3 it whatever its called yet? What are your linpack scores. I see no point in flashing if its not faster yet.

youneek, linpack scores have stayed same for JP1/2/3 (~15)
[Vibrant Android Development] kopykatkiller:
It is flashing back to US firmware that is bricking devices after installing these international roms. IF you want to test go ahead, I'm not going to be doing it until I see actual proof that someone has done it successfully.
[Vibrant Android Development] acjames:
Im sure it will be Sept. before a US Galaxy S device gets Froyo.
[Vibrant Android Development] setzer715:
Once Guru posts, I will flash his and then back. If it bricks, so be it, just send it back to TMO for a new one. If it doesn't, then ya'll will know.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
The Linpack scores worry me. My brother gets a solid score of 47 on his HTC Incredible, but got only a 7 when he was on 2.1. My Vibrant gets a solid 8.5 on stock 2.1 now. Id hate to see that Vibrant score only in the mid teens. If scaling properly this hardware should be near 50 or higher I would think.

@scepter, any ideas why such a low score on Linpack? Could it be Linpack itself? Or, the sammy drivers maybe are still not optimized for 2.2? Just curious, as if the world release rom samsung just sent out has this low of a score, Im going to be hearing it non-stop from my little brother, "told you to get a HTC device" lol... id hate to be forced to punch him in the face, he is my little brother after all.... lmao
[Vibrant Android Development] designerfx:
exactly. something is not working right on the prerelease. 50 is indeed where I expect it to be, or at least 40-50.

The questions is, is JIT even enabled in these versions. I know that CM6 for instance has a option in the settings to enabled it or disable it, as it still makes some phones unstable even in 2.2
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
I was just wondering about that. Linpack LOVES JIT. :D

I believe there's a system property you can set to enable JIT, should the dalvik-vm build we have support it. That's probably all the CM6 option does with it. Check the G1 dev forum for the "dusted donuts" thread. I seem to remember seeing what the property is in there.
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
Not running it, but really good to see your interest in this phone. I like what you did with the BH2 made it at least usable.

Will you be posting progress on this on androidspin or here?
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Likely all 3 Forums, & thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] CharonIDRONES:
From my understanding and watching a few videos, JIT is not yet enabled in the 2.2 Galaxy S test ROM, I believe there was even someone who speculated that it still was not using the himem feature to utilize the 512MB RAM. Though those two will obviously change, can't wait until the full potential of this phone comes out!
[Vibrant Android Development] Arr MiHardies:
My question is, does the fm tuner work when using this rom on the vibrant?
[Vibrant Android Development] talltexan:
that was a question i had myself , if so i look forward to this in the CM6 release if at all possible.
[Vibrant Android Development] skater4690:
why does everyone want the fm tuner? cant you just use the i heart radio app for radio?
[Vibrant Android Development] talltexan:
Clear channel doesn't own all the radio stations yet......
[Vibrant Android Development] skater4690:
ok well 945 the buzz is there so im good lol plus there is 16gb of space on your phone fill it up with music lol
[Vibrant Android Development] talltexan:
but just because you don't need it doesn't = no one needs it... take it from someone who worked in radio you do not want Clear channel to own all the radio stations. Also FM would give you the ability to listen to pirate radio if your into that type of thing.
[Vibrant Android Development] skater4690:
well yes i know that but i was just saying lol of course other people will want it as i can see lots of people want it
[Vibrant Android Development] Arr MiHardies:
Here are my reasons for wanting it as stated in a different thread:
[Vibrant Android Development] thunderstruck!:
What other things did TMo remove?
[Vibrant Android Development] Arr MiHardies:
Wireless tethering for one. Could also complain they removed thee front facing camera. Don't remember if the international version had a flash or not off the top off my head.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
For those who have NOT flashed this: look at this thread.

It wont flash your radio/nor your baseband. and you can downgrade. Unlike this one.
[Vibrant Android Development] setzer715:
yeah, thats a slightly broken ROM though, if you cant use your headphones which is like 70% (yes, just pulled that number out of my arse but its more fun that way!) of all users, then what makes it better?

P.S. I am in now way degrading eugene373 for his/her efforts. Just don't like bashing, which seems to be the stench around these parts. Lets all just leave MS_Guru alone huh? Let em just do what they are here to do?

Hey I've worked out a safe downgrade from JP1/2/3. I'm back on UVJFD from JP3 with no issues. I'de like a few people to test it though, so if you're on JP1/2/3 on the Vibrant and would like to test it please pm me.

MS_Guru, sorry if I'm hogging the thread. I'm just figuring the people who upgraded are watching this thread. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Question,

Has anyone here did the EU firmware. THen tried to go back. Then went to black dead screen? and got it back? I am trying for a friend. Want to see if its possible or is it dead?

let me know

thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] junkdruggler:
Its probably dead.... if it wont do anything its a true brick...i tried everything, i left it be about 24 hours and it booted into download mode... but then nothing again... so there might be a chance...

Ive heard of someone bricking there g1 then leaving it on fastboot all night and brought it back to life the next day... not sure how true that is
[Vibrant Android Development] Androidwolf:
my brother's vibrant was rooted and then got an update prompt from the phone. it failed midway through and bricked. i tried using odin to unbrick and it worked...sort of. certain keys on the keypad won't work like e, s, z. it cant restore or do anything through clockwork mod or update from the phone itself. i have no idea what to do does anyone?
[Vibrant Android Development] faldiin:
Which Odin you try. I know if you use Euguen's Odin 2.2 that you can breathe some life back. With it then you can down grade to 2.1 If you tried that then I would try another Kernel and then try another flash. You can try almost anything since you can get to boot. I would do Euguens's first thou.
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
dont flash this rom anymore its obsolete and will make recovering difficult at best. this is i9000 port to the vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
SOOOO what exactly is this ROM? CM? Just some bland 2.2 port? TELL ME TEH INFOZ
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
it's plainly stated in the OP.

it is an i9000 rom.

if you don't know what it is, don't use it..

look at the date.

it's old

don't touch.

[Vibrant Android Development] techpreneur:
I was thinking the same thing.
[Vibrant General] }{Alienz}{:
So I'm not completely satisfied with Vibrant's default music player and its EQ. I tried Astro Player but the EQ on that is crap. I found out MixZing has THE EQ I'm looking for and it sounds quite amazing but the app itself is not ideal as a music player and the EQ taxes the CPU = lower battery. Is there another player with a similar EQ or is there a program I can use to force a EQ over the ENTIRE phone (not just music player) so that I can then use any music player. I don't care if I have to root the device to get such an app to work.

I'm new to Android coming from Nokia XpressMusic series (which sound amazing with their EQs) so looking to replicate that. It's a HIGH priority for me being an audiophile.
[Vibrant General] PolishDude:
would like to know this as well
[Vibrant General] }{Alienz}{:
No one has an idea?
[Vibrant General] couped:
If you were an audiophile you wouldn't use an EQ.

;)
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
I just use the stock music player since it plays all my FLAC music. I messed around with the EQ and sounds pretty good with me. Other than Mixzing I haven't really using anything else.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
That's baloney.

Anyway... what's wrong with the Vibrant's EQ? I don't particularly like the range of adjustments for the low and high end but it's fine for the most part and it's not very clippy.
[Vibrant General] southpaw773:
its frustrating that i have to select bass enhancement every time i go to use the music player. it won't remember it. i know that feature won't work without headphones, but still.

also the whole Android community has been in need of an EQ for a long time. lots of threads out there for people such as Droid users. They will be jealous when they find out the Vibrant has one.

[Captivate General] mrdecibel:
I was trying to help others in similr situations. But unfortunately the biased fanboys came to town to complain about the iphone being better in which I made no such claims. I happened to be in a situation where I have been doing extensive testing to determine which phone is best for me and tried to share. Nuff said. Mods please delete this useful, detailed, but not wanted post.
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
yeah it does...but not be an asshole, but was this thread really needed?

There is an iPhone vs. Captivate thread already here, and adding the nexus one is a nice touch but it could have been placed in the same thread.

I liked the post, I'm just all for keeping the forum clean and every day i check and there is another 30 threads all of them kinda similar...we need a mod (i'd do it) fast so that we can merge threads

EDIT: I just noticed you wrote the same EXACT thing in that thread...this thread is really useless...
[Captivate General] caelestis2:

btw: stop reposting bull**** this is getting very annoying.............
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
You're right it was useful AND detailed - but you posted it twice. If you've ever been apart of ANY forum you know that people don't like double posts.

I don't see any comments about you thinking the iPhone is better, nor do I see any fanboys in this thread...all I see is a post made by you that has almost the same exact title as another post right before it in which you posted this same exact content.

THAT is the area of discontent amongst the forum users
[Captivate General] mrdecibel:
Instead of trying to find info at the bottom or middle of a thread, I tried to put the info out there in the face. As much as I don't like clutter or stupid posts, I do like to find info. For every post that has info, there are thirty posts with ignorant comments. I was trying to help. But obviously those that can't see the truth, cant be helped.
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
That is the sentiment I was trying to convey.

Also the title promotes fanboyism and challanges other's perspectives which would start a war.
[Captivate General] mrdecibel:
I guess replying to an existing post and creating a new thread are different in my eyes. I thought I was helping by bring the info up top. I saw no stickied posts. My bad. I don't post much here, so I see how the law of the land is (doesn't exist). Peace...
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
you can be as bitter and snide as you want, but the fact still remains that you were double posting and giving out pure opinion.

there are two threads already created, one comparing the facts of both phones and one with user impressions...

you posted your opinion fine. people who are looking for information should search for it, it does not take long, especially when the thread title is so descriptive. Also, the thread is so active that it is always near the top, it wouldn't take much to find your thoughts.

eventually the comparison will be stickied, but until then being one of the top 5 topics should be enough to help anyone who needs to find YOUR specific observations (many of which are not shared by the consenting public)

so goodbye, I'm sure no one will miss you here

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectricWraith:
Hey all, I had some issues with Clockwork Recovery not working right after running the SimpleRoot OTA, so I found SimpleRoot .1 and ran that. It worked like a champ, including NAND unlock! So, after making a nandroid backup, I flashed to DamageControl 3.2.3, then flashed the newest radio, so now my baseband is 2.05.00.06.10.

I tried flashing EVO_WiMAX_25641_R01, and when I did I got an error in Recovery, something about "Multiple firmware images", not sure what's going on.

Running wimax_mtd in terminal emulator tells me that my WiMax firmware version is 4.6.2.2_v24722. Yesterday I turned on 4G and it looked like it was connected, albeit with a crappy signal. I made a phone call successfully, so does that mean my 4G is working and I have no problems? Or am I missing something and I'm a massive 'tard?

One other issue I've noticed since flashing DC 3.2.3 is that even with the Battery Saver profile applied my battery life sucks. It just seems to be running down faster than it was when I was on the stock root after running SimpleRoot OTA. I left that on for a couple days and the battery seemed to be doing much better then. Thoughts?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
You can only flash one radio at a time. Reboot and try installing the Wimax radio again. And you can only install the new wimax on a rom that is made for it.

4G has nothing to do with phone calls. It is only a data network.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sprockethead:
Yes. You are a massive tard. Just kidding. I had the same problem.

Important note I just learned and the post above also says:

Radio=Phone. WiMax=Data.

This is the correct way to make sure it all works.

Prerequisite: TURN OFF 4G

1. Boot into recovery.

2. Flash radio.

3. Reboot phone.

4. Update Profile.

5. Update PRL.

6. Boot into recovery.

7. Flash WiMax.

8. Update Profile.

9. Update PRL.

10. Delete tree file from system/misc/wimax (or something like that)

11. Reboot phone.

The updates are done from the update menu under Settings.

It is a pain in the ass process but has to be done from first to last if you want to make sure it all works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectricWraith:
Ok, WiMax = data, got it.

I had the 4G turned off, as I do most of the time due to spotty service, but I will try the procedure again. I think I did try flashing the WiMax on its own once, I know I tried to do both of them sequentially without a reboot the first time.

What do I do to update the profile and PRL?

EDIT: HURR DURR HURR, nevermind, found it and saw your answer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sprockethead:
So don't keep the whole forum in suspense. Did it work?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectricWraith:
Well, I just successfully flashed the WiMax, and it's rebooting now. Will update Profile and PRL and see what's what.

Battery life still blows dog...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sprockethead:
Don't forget to delete the tree file.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectricWraith:
What is the exact location of that file? The one listed above doesn't exist as far as I can see.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sprockethead:
I should have mentioned, you need Root Explorer from the market to find it. Then go to data/misc/wimax and delete the file that looks like <number>.tree.xml.

I usually restart the phone again just for kicks so I don't have to do the whole process over again. When you start 4G again, it will automatically create the "good" tree file.

Once 4G is up and running, there is another thread that will fix your spotty service. I can't remember but I'll come update the thread with it in a minute.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectricWraith:
Well, I was able to find and delete the file from an adb shell, but when I turned 4G on, it stays on Scanning...

Don't where this leaves me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sprockethead:
Did you reboot the phone after deleting the file but before turning on 4G?

If not, I suggest - and I know that it is a pain in the ass - doing the whole process over again, but this time reboot the phone after the last step (the file deletion). Then turn the phone on. Then turn on 4G. Then let it sit there for 5 minutes while it scans and it should eventually stop.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectricWraith:
I did indeed reboot afterwards, then turned 4G on. My MAC address matched, so I know that's not the problem. I'm wondering if it's got something to do with the fact that 4G coverage is weak at my apartment?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectricWraith:
Well, I did the whole procedure over from scratch, including flashing the radio first, and 4G is working now.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sprockethead:
Ha! Now never flash your radios again.

Oh, and here's that link I was talking about to increase your 4G coverage. Do this next: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726877
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
See, reading and following instructions and information fully before jumping off a cliff almost always works the first time every time.

This does not increase your 4G coverage or anything of the like. It just changes the default connect/disconnect settings to make it more realistic.

I think the light is fine with 'normal' brightness for extended use, but not the ultra-bright setting.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
LED light has "lifetime" - which is, it's built to last X hours on average.

Each time you turn it on, you take Y seconds out of its lifetime.

By analogy, each day you live, you're 1 day closer to death. You don't stop living to avoid death, do you? ;)

Yes, the LED will die one day if you use it. If you're not unlucky, it'll be way after your phone turned to a piece of junk. If you're unlucky - it can die the next time you turn it on. Pure statistics of semiconductors, can't predict it.
