[Vibrant Android Development] Smokexz:
I have Odin, where do I put this file?
[Vibrant Android Development] flipper2006:
Having my first real issue, hopefully it's just me doing something wrong, but I can't see either the SD card or the 16g drive from my PC since loading Vibrant6 yesterday. I tried to reboot the phone but no luck, I click on my computer but the drives dont appear. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] Smokexz:
How can I go to recovery?
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
Odin is used from your pc, it is software that is able to flash what is needed to your phone when it is in download mode. There is a wealth of info on this in these forums.

Do a search, or browse for the thread about not using rom manager to position sd card. It has a lot of info on flashing. Also wherever you got odin from probably has instructions and also a lot of feedback and questions in the thread if you read through it. I would let you call me and walk you through it but my gf is getting all pissy with me for being on here. (cause her stupid wives of new jersey, gay ass show, is over now) and she has no concept of why we help each other on here. But if you are still having issues tomorrow I'll be more than happy to walk you through it, either on the phone or via IM.

Def give it a shot tonight though, just read the forums, and it really is hard to brick this phone, I know from experience.

Good luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smokexz:
I am so lost, I don't understand, I cannot get to recovery mode
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
Yeah I suspected as much just did a third party apps resotre and so far so good but only been an hour.
[Vibrant Android Development] All~G1:
Actually, you're right. I am using the data and dalvik to sd-ext on an ext4 partition. I did notice that if I were to flash the init.d script (that is provided in JAC's thread) prior to Vibrant7, I too would be getting around a 900-990 max! So flashing in order of: init.d >> vibrant7 would format or delete the init.d script

After a little testing I found out that if I were to flash nothing else but: vibrant7 >> init.d, after a reboot I would have both still installed. Vibrant7 with all its goodness, the kernel and the lag fix. Just like others have reported in JAC's thread though setCPU is and has mad my phone freeze. After uninstalling I have yet to see it happen now. Battery is holding, speed is good, no noticable lag. Haven't had the need to test things like GPS and my signal always sucks in and around my house so in all I am pretty satisfied. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
Figured out a way to get the vibrant 7 rom and ocv4 kernel to work on my previously freezing phone that I head just flashed over all my mods and vibrant 6

Pretty simple really but I'm going to go ahead and make a detailed post for others that thought they had to settle for a stock kernel and if a few guys with the time can see if they can recreate my success please report back and maybe eugene can just copy it into the op for those others who may run into the same problems...
[Vibrant Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
Sorry for the repost, but I havent made any leway on this;

ODINed to JFD

Rooted

ROM Manager

Reboot Recovery to flash Vibrant7.zip

I get

... after the second time this happened I checked to make SURE SU was in xbin, which it was.

Any ideas?

Also, the same issue happens when I try to Install Vibrant6. Is there something I need to wipe that the Vibrant.zip isnt?
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
Get your previously freezing vibrant 7 rom working right.

So very simply I flashed the "true stock" rom, rerooted, then ocv4 kernel, then vibrant 7....

First step:

go here and follow the directions, its actually very simple I don't know why so many people make a fuss about odin.

(thanks in this step goes out to jac, once again)

(tip: its easier to get into download mode by going into adb shell or terminal with your usb already connected, type; su, reboot download. instead of messing around with the correct timing for button presses and usb cable corrections)

Optional step:

If your like me and had an old g1 and just got your adb working using some random driver you may need to make sure to have the correct driver from samsung for odin to recognize your device in download mode. I found mine here

Second step:

Reroot

Inside the first step link to odin there is an update.zip file available to reroot your phone, I just used that for the sake of convenience considering it came with odin, the .tar file and the .pit file all together any ways.... any one reading this should already know how root buuuuut...

place this file ("SGH-959 Root Update", found in the odin packaged zip) into the root of sd, rename it just "update.zip" and reboot into recovery using adb or the double volume press along with power to get into recovery, select reinstall packages, double check after reboot that super user is installed in app drawer, done.)

Install rom manager from market, choose rom manager from app drawer flash clockwork mod, reinstall packages, reboot (or if you already have next steps files on root of sd then skip to next step, but rebooting between steps never hurts, just takes longer for double checking everything is going right)

Fourth step:

Go to Jac's kernel thread find the link for the init.d file of choice (i chose B.) Then the ocv4 kernel.zip (make sure is the updat.zip one not odin), place in root of sd, reboot into clockwork and choose .zips from sd card to install kernel (more finite directions inside linked post.... Read up)

Fifth step:

Install eugene's vibrant 7 rom found in op of this same thread.... Viola. Done and no freezing....

Tips.... Get all the files together first before you start the process, have necessary file names changed, required programs and drivers installed and all .zip files in a separate folder on your computer or external sd card for good measure to be put onto root of sd later using adb or astro.... Make sure to remember certain orders of steps like flashing the init file from jacs thread first (before ocv4 kernel) otherwise youll get stuck at the vibrant boot screen. And remember,to thank all these guys in their own threads, I only compiled the steps, they made it possible

-Poop out
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
Great post poop. I didn't have any issue with this rom but I had a hard time understanding why some peoples phone, although made from the same hardware, wouldn't be able to use an over clock kernel while others with the same could.

(i am just starting intro to computer science though so maybe time will tell)
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Simple Really, Never buy anything made on a Monday or Friday!!!

Gps lock issues.. Any suggestions eugene?
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
*#*#1472365#*#*

Application Tab

> GPS Plus = Off

> Use SkyHook = On

Also turn Wireless location on, that helps as well
[Vibrant Android Development] PowSniffer0110:
Thanks, seemed to do the trick
[Vibrant Android Development] jakesweet:
great job

just flashed this and the lagfix and its real zippy just hit a 2471 on quadrant very pleased so far thanks for all the hard work getting this ready
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
So I'm almost certain I just bricked my vibrant.... effing usb cable came out right when I was flashing the phone with odin cause I was gonna go back to vibrant 6 rom cause I could change the framework colors acroos the xda boards app and browser too....

Now I have a friggin picture of a phone and a computer with an exclimation point in between them. Won't boot into download, won't boot into recovery, computer won't recognize it at all plugged into the usb cable again.... its awesome, can't wait to tell my fiance I bricked my 500 dollar phone and oh ya can't turn it in on the php plan cause I voided the warranty doing this...

Here's a pic for the kiddies... this is wha death looks like....

Sadly Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
[Vibrant Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
Its fine, just boot up ODIN, select your PIT and PDA file as normal. Plug your phone into your computer's USB, then hold Both VOL Buttons and PWR button. When the screen goes black, release PWR button. It should boot into download and be recognized in ODIN.

:)

This phone really is next to impossible to brick. As long as it does something, you can generally recover it
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
Ya ahhahahahahaha I just found the directions in the captivate forum, should def be listed here as well on how to do that and just flashed the stock rom and kernel back in.... oh thank goodness forr these forums!!!

Ya it is INSANE how hard it really is to absolutely brick this thing, I just love it.... I thought I was screwed this time around.

[Vibrant Android Development] SykesAT:
Eugene,

thanks, installed with the OC no problem. all seems running smooth.

Two things (both minor or not V7 specific):

1. the battery gauge- prefer the V7 gauge vs original and blue circle, but the accuracy is more like the original, both when in use and on recharge. Will flash blue circle if need be but prefer V7 gauge due to its numeric charge indicator when charging.

2. GPS- can only get an accuracy of 60ft and take minutes to get that reading. Changed settings to GPS plus>off and Skynet>on but that makes no difference. This issue is not V7 specific. I have tried so many settings with the original fresh rom (pre-root), Eugene's flash GPS fix, messed with all kinds of settings like auto-config, spirnet-lcs v sup.google, gps plus on/off, skynet off/on, operation mode ms/standalone, supl secure socket no/off. At this point I honestly think mine is fubared. So tired of trying new settings, clearing settings, rebooting and testing.
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
Send it back, Tmo will replace, it is still under factory warranty. Just be sure to put back to stock with no root or even unlock really.
[Vibrant Android Development] Wes33:
I flashed vibrant7 yesterday morning, I also used stock kernel cuz I don't really need overclocked and i'm a little scared to screw things up(call me a wuss).

I used swype.apk from vibrant1 which I still had sitting on my desktop, and I also prefer LauncherPro. Quadrant score is 2137, and it runs like a champ! So happy with this rom! :) Much appreciation to eugene373!

It did take me a while to get the lagfix set up as I had to go through the commands to remove an old one. Best advice I can give is

check and double check your commands when you use adb,

twice I thought I was screwed but I had just missed a / or something. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Vibrant8 is almost Finished, hope to have it posted by today & i'm sure 100% that everyone will be mostly satisfied with it ;)

~Eugene
[Vibrant Android Development] Mookie_Jones:
for the laxfix, because it says its not applied, do i just run the commands to install it? i ask because i thought that i did the commands, but i still come up with a 900is number as opposed to before i flashed this rom..

Im gonna keep looking as well but why do i see a screenshot using sense on androidspin but this rom doesnt have it
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7752834&postcount=463

Regarding the screen shot, it's not Vibrant 7 at all & I wont be releasing anything that looks like that due to Copyright issue's if I do..

[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
Awesome, I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing your work. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] speoples20:
Ok so I finally took the plunge and flashed Vibrant7. Quick question though what lag fix is everyone running? I prefer stable over speed.
[Vibrant Android Development] themadmen:
Cool. I cant wait to try it.

[Vibrant Android Development] aenima4six2:
I'm in love with these ROMs. Great work!

On a side note, is there anyway to make the status bar drop down background semi transparent instead of completely transparent?
[Vibrant Android Development] The K-Zoo Kid:
Download a theme from the themes sections..
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
To get it back to the original way you can use the clear-to-stock metamorph found in the apps section

just hit the phone with odin, then flashed this and i get launcher fc also

lol, just in time, waiting on your update
[Vibrant Android Development] Andrw2121:
Quick question... The only thing I've done to my new vibrant so far is flashed an update.zip to root the device. So i still have the stock rom correct? So basically I just need to boot into recovery and flash this zip... correct? Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] skater4690:
if this deletes everything when updated what would the purpose of flashing the stock rom from odin? how will it benefit?
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
To have the correct zImage :rolleyes:

I never got the Chance to look over the Shipped zImage & the one Posted in OP...

And based on reports launcher FC & other Error's until doing so, Thank for Asking though!

Oh, OP now Posted With link....
[Vibrant Android Development] Chididdy123:
I have this question too^^^
[Vibrant Android Development] skater4690:
oh ok thanks for the answer im thinking of giving this a try seems like it will be worth it but i need to get a hold of one of my brothers mt3g's so i can repartition my card i dont wanna use the paragon thing cause i cant get it to work and using a mt3g is sooo much easier lol
[Vibrant Android Development] 98classic:
here is the answer, he hasnt had a chance to check it, i fixed the fc by re wiping and re flashing. dlin the new update now
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
In a sense I see it as collaborating already, it's just that we seem to have time for doing stuff at different times. We're already building off of each others' work, isn't that what collaboration is about?

:) Sure is brother... Like myself, I'm sure you're just as busy as me :cool:

Flashed the update and everything seems to be running fine. Going to try with JAC's kernel now.

Edit: JAC's kernel is in and working. Got a Quadrant score of 1588. Everything running smooth. No sign of the screen wake-up lag yet. Good work! Thank you for this! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] 98classic:
flashed right over vibrant1.zip and everything is running dandy, just got this phone yesterday, coming from sprint hero and evo, i dont hear much of JIT, is that not hear of here?
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
Just loaded and quadrant scores are now a few points shy of 1300. No issues at all so far. Will post again when I have tested more.

GREAT JOB
[Vibrant Android Development] Chididdy123:
awesome. great rom

whoever needs help, i'll post what i did

download this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739091

1.Your Device must be in DOWNLOAD mode to use ODIN. (what i did was i powered off device. Connect to USB, and hold vol up and down. when the green battery indicator lights up, hold down the power button until the screen goes black. let go and you'll see a yellow android.

4.Open Odin and load each file with it's corresponding field..PIT,PDA,CSC etc. (In this case we just use the PDA and PIT)

5.Don't check anything else, the other two boxes should be checked by default (Auto Reboot and Reset Time)

6.Hit "start"! be patient! (takes about 5 min)

itll reboot itself, and you will have to reroot. i recommend the one click method

download ROM manager from the market, and install clockwork recovery

boot into recovery (you should know how to by now)

nandroid

wipe data/ wipe cache (edit: no need to as ROM does it already. thanks eugene!)

install a zip

choose zip

and choose vibrant4.zip

wait and your done!

I just did a linpaq (downloaded from the market) and it said I had an MFLOP score of ~8.2. With stock I had like 8.7

Edit #2

I just experienced a black screen, forced to pull out battery

Rebooted, and made a call. Screen froze on "call dialing" part, and phone call still received, but it was frozen and screen was on. again forced to pull out battery
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
wipe data

wipe cache

is not needed, the vibrant4.zip does this already.
[Vibrant Android Development] Beast84:
So I have rooted & uninstalled all the bloated junk... do I still need to flash back to stock using odin? I have done no other modifications. I don't think I have done anything to change the zImage

I have one request. is there anyway we can get the stock clock back. I loved the stop watch and timer
[Vibrant Android Development] dabezt1:
Lag fix on market works awsome, I havent had any issue so far. Just select to install the ext2 tools, then select option to resotre boot logos, then finaly to apply lagfix.

Not really sure if i want to update to vibrant8 when its release today :D. Vibrant7 is running sooo smooth and without any issues. And the oced kernel doenst seem to have any negative effects on battery life. Great work.

BTW, can someone suggest the quickest way to get all your settings back? It's been said that restore all system settings w/ TB is a no-no, so what is every body doing to get, u know, your launcher, work email, etc up to speed?

[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
Oh man - I might have to hold out for vibrant9, just because 8 doesn't look that different than 7 and I'm not having any problems with 7. My GPS was very wack at first, but the stickied fix took care of it. OC kernel seems fine.

One thing I did notice is the music player fc'd when I tried to set a song as my alarm ringtone. If that's a known bug, no worries, just thought I'd mention it.

Can't wait for vibrant9 Eugene, thanks for your great work!
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
so far things are running very smooth on it. coming off of a fresh odin. I haven't applied the lag fix yet, though the ex2 file is still on my SD card from before my fresh ODIN, would this cause an issue?

a few things to note, once it completed the flash, HUGE blue text came on the screen. It looked like it said "Reboot Now" but it was to large to read. Also, the sound for the boot animation started while the Samsung Vibrant screen was still displayed. (Great animation btw ;) )

Also, any way to change that awful Samsung Vibrant boot screen?

EDIT: 1st Major issue. Phone is no longer recognized by PC. And for those that are going to ask, yes correct drivers ARE installed. Heck I just did a ODIN restore no more than 4 hours ago. I get the mount option and USB debugging option, but that's it. nothing on the PC showing the phone is connected.

Edit 2: So turning off USB Debugging allows the PC to see the device, and I'm able to mount, as soon as I turn it back on, nothing.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
I think I'll wait for vibrant9 as well, is it ok to upgrade from v6 to this?
[Vibrant Android Development] rUsTyRuSs:
Hey Eugene. I was running Vibrant6 and I was wondering if you know what apk holds the stock alarms and clocks app. I was sifting through the dump to try and find it, but there isn't an alarms&clocks.apk or anything near it. I was having issues with the added alarms app and wanted to revert to stock. Any help is appreciated,

[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
just flashed vibrant8 coming from vibrant6. everything went well with the flash, but i'm having problems with google sync. none of my contacts or emails will sync. and yes i have auto-sync and background data checked in settings.

not sure if this is due to the crap reception i get in my office or what, but work is where i do most of my modding since i'm fairly bored all day and i've never had a sync issue before with vibrant4, 5, or 6.

but everything else seems very much improved.

WOOO

another awesome work of art from eugene. but enough kisses his booty, the only bug (or may be a fault on my part) that i see is when i flash jacs kernel, first thing that happens when i reach the lockscreen, and unlock it of course, is that im+ forcloses and than i try to run a quadrant test it gives an error (cant recall this error because i reflashed the rom). if its my fault than can someone (preferably eugene) enlighten me.
[Vibrant Android Development] jlaval:
no lag fix, plain v8.

Did you flash the vibinit.d before flashing the kernal? I had that issue flashing Jac's Kernal in the past.
[Vibrant Android Development] thomaspmfc:
Going Crazy

Love your stuff first off. But i have seemed to run into a problem i cant fix normally if i backtrack or reread i tend to figure out my own mistakes i have never had to actually post anything but first for everything right.

Ok i instaled all three of the vibrant roms and the only thing not working is the 3g connection you know the one you use if there is no wireless connection its not even showing up in the status bar please help would love to keep the room however very important feature not working for me dont know what else to try.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] jonathanhuerta4:
yes i flashed the Vibinit.d before flashing the kernel, i will give it another go hopefully it will work

Go to wireless settings

set up a new apn

name it Tmobile

next box should be

epc.tmobile.com

Thats it...

then when you back out of that screen make sure you check the apn that you just created. it happens to me sometimes when i flash a new rom. always fixes the problem though
[Vibrant Android Development] jonathanhuerta4:
yup

jac kernel isnt working for me o well atleast this rom is the fastes really would love jac oc and the ext4 support.
