This is essentially a rooted stock ROM so it should allow you to update as normal. I had a rooted stock phone before the OTA update came out and was still prompted to download and install it so I think you should be safe with this one.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jojo7972:
I'm sending my phone back on a warrenty replacement, currently am Rooted with CM6.1 - is this file here what I need to flash to get my stuff all back to stock before I send it back??

Thanks in advance.....
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
Just flash the rom in the op and your golden
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jojo7972:
Sweet....thanks dude
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jojo7972:
Got a bigger problem now.....the problem with the phone is the display, so now the .zip in the op didn't work when I went to extract it and now the phone's screen is stuck on the t-mobile logo when first started up and it won't change....so now I have no clue to get it un-rooted without having a working display????

It's gotta be possible somehow?!?

**UPDATE - The screen is magically working again but still the .zip in the orignal post isn't working, it's telling me when I goto flash it something about a signature file not verified or something to that nature, any advice on what to do now?***
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cswroe:
Did you extract the zip from the zip in the OP? Sounds like you are trying to just use the downloaded file....the update is in that zip file and needs to be extracted first.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jojo7972:
Yes, I moved the OTApkg.zip from the nothing.zip to my sdcard and renamed it to update.zip and then rebooted into recovery and then wiped all data/cache, then tried to flash straight from the system recovery, and it stops giving me the signature file error and then it says it was aborted.....

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cswroe:
Going back in the posts, it sounds like you may have a CM Rom on you device and you want to go back to stock....if that is the case, you will need to do this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=713507

You can't just apply the update in this thread to get back to stock.

[Vibrant General] kingrichards:
So just when I'm about to fall in love with this phone the calendar does not have hypertext link if you input the phone numbers wtf? I mean how the heck did Samsung forget this? Even the g1 android have this in the calendar!!! Anyone know a hack for this? Jesus Christ! ! Can't believe this!!
[Vibrant General] marlopainter:
I currently have a T-Mobile G1 and I have been thinking of an upgrade.

Have any of the current Vibrant owners come from a G1?

If so, are you happy with your new phone/glad you switched?

If you aren't a past G1 owner, I still value your input.

Thanks for any/all opinions. :D
[Vibrant General] lmlloyd:
I lost my G1 a little over a week ago, and got a Vibrant as a replacement. So far I'm pretty happy. There are a few things to know though. First of all, no matter what anyone says to the contrary, the software keyboard is a poor substitution for a real hardware keyboard, and not a day goes by that I don't miss the keyboard on my G1. That said, I have found alternatives that work for me, but might not for everyone. I was a longtime Palm user, so the addition of a capacitive stylus and Graffiti for Android went a long way toward easing my lost keyboard anxiety. Also, the speech to text on the phone is surprisingly good, and once I found a program that optimized the speech to text workflow (Ultra Keyboard), that got me set so that between those two, I can get by without a hardware keyboard.

You should also know that the compass on the Vibrant is complete garbage compared to the G1. It is slow to update, inaccurate, and sometimes just freaks out and points in a direction that has absolutely nothing to do with where the phone is pointing. Some people also report poor GPS performance, though I haven't had this problem.

The bad stuff out of the way, it is SO MUCH faster than the G1! That, and I actually like some of the additions Samsung made to Android. I don't like how the whole thing looks so iPhoney, but it all works really well, and given the choice I wouldn't go back to a G1 from the Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
The compass and gps suck. There are various settings that help the gps, but we really need a driver update from samsung. Hopefully they will get on that soon and not make us wait for 2.2.

As for the keyboard, I like swype almost as much as a real keyboard. The voice input works good as well, but swype doesn't have the button for it for some reason. Hopefully they will add it soon.

Overall, it's a great phone and the speed and screen will blue you away coming from a g1.
[Vibrant General] blanked:
I came from a G1. The phone is incredible, but the hardware/drivers have their rough edges, no doubt. I might have waited a little longer in hopes of the manufacturing becoming more consistent had I known of the issues before I bought, but when all is said and done I'm quite happy. Just not as happy as I could be.
[Vibrant General] numba1cuban:
I am really picky when it comes to this kinda stuff. Loved my g1 and thought twice about getting this phone for several reasons lyk 5mp camera when others offer more, not keyboard, forward facing camera and screen size but overall i gotta say i love this phone and wouldnt think twice about it. This phone performs amazingly and the screen is beautiful the battery is great for me atleast the gps is good no issues here and lastly the speed on the phone itself and online is crazy i love it. I couldnt be happier and it fills in the g1's shoes very nicely. I loved my g1 but i think i like this phone alot more.
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
Yes, I like this phone more than the G1. It was time for me to ditch the qwerty keyboard anyways and I don't like how it adds bulk to any type of phone. Plus, there are already plenty of accessories for the phone already since T-Mobile was smart enough to have the dimensions very similar to the original Galaxy S.
[Vibrant General] down8:
Many of us came from the G1 (contract about up, y'all?).

With Swype, I'm not at a huge loss for the hardware kb - the slide mechanism on the G1 was always a little scary to me, so I'm glad to be rid of that. hat being said, if the option was available, I'd've taken the SGS w/the kb.

I also dislike the iPhone rip-off part of Samsungs UI, but there are many benefits, too. The notification buttons are great & save homescreen space. Many other small things.

The biggest gripe is the GPS. IT IS TERRIBLE! It will literally lock up my phone after not locking onto the 12 satellites it can see. Buncha bull****.

But, all-in-all, the G1 was getting tired, so I'm glade to move on.

-bZj
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
I was very hesitant about getting a phone with no physical keyboard. About a month before I bought my vibrant, I used just the virtual keyboard on the G1. I have to say, Swype is the best thing since slice bread for keyboard technology. I can actually "type" faster with Swype than I did with my G1. Like others, my only gripe about the vibrant is the gps issues. I don't use it daily but if Samsung doesn't fix this, they will never get my business again with ANY product. That said, I'm pretty sure they will fix this, it would be a PR disaster otherwise.
[Vibrant General] marlopainter:
That is my BIGGEST fear.... :eek:

That is what I'm looking forward to... :D

Great idea... :cool:

Thank you so much for your opinions.

I'm running CM6 Froyo on my G1 and it can get very laggy.

I also don't want to go back to Sprint just to get an EVO...

My T-Mobile experience in Milwaukee has been a dream compared

to my Sprint experience...
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Go to a store and play with one... you will immediately buy it. I cherish my G1 and refuse to sell it, but it is so... so... dwarfed by the Vibrant it is laughable.
[Vibrant General] blanked:
The G1 is a plastic brick... :D

That's definitely a reason I decided to abandon the physical keyboard--it just adds so much bulk.
[Vibrant General] marlopainter:
I think I will be purchasing one..

I would never sell my G1 either!

I will use it as a mini-netbook until it dies of natural causes (I still won't get rid of it).

It has a full keyboard, wifi, I paid for Docs2Go, so I have an office suite,

it has a camera, mp3 player, full web, etc...
[Vibrant General] jcott28:
My biggest fear was the loss of the keyboard as well. I do miss it at times (mainly games), but swype is very fast and it took all of a fe messages to start swyping as fast or faster than the keyboard. Its not the same thing, but it does a great job.

Gpa and compass... Well, you know by now. I'm confident it'll be fixed soon.

The screen is amazing, even in bright sunlight. Movies on the phone rock. And the speed is unbelievable. It's so worth the upgrade!

One other bonus... With the galaxy s being on every carrier, it had the best chance of many mods and released quickly once things get going.
[Vibrant General] marlopainter:
Bought it and love it!!!
[Vibrant General] BlackElvis79:
Check the bottom of the Sig :D

You can't compare the two...not only different ballparks...different sports altogether. But even with that in mind, I STILL have my trusty G1 for when I'm feeling nostalgic :). If you can, go for it. You'll like it.

[General Questions and Answers] babelfish42:
OK, so is there any means to dual boot android/android? iphone can do it, why not android? I would like to chose between cyanogen/htc stock on the fly for emulation purposes. is this possible without having to set up all my nonsense?
[General Questions and Answers] Danni3:
unlikely =\

windows mobile and the iphone can not technically dualboot android, they use a program to clear all of the memory in order to boot android ontop of windows mobile/Iphone OS (haret), therefore the original operating system is no longer running and resources are devoted to the new virtual one running

android doesn't currently have a function similar to haret I far as I know (I'm rather new to android)

Its not impossible but as far as I can tell, it hasn't been done yet...
[Desire General] Ziostilon:
As you might know Telus is releasing their Desire very soon (should be tomorrow)

it is listed as:

While Bell is listing their Galaxy S Vibrant as:

AMOLED screens don't do as well with reading text

but Super AMOLED is better at viewing from different angles and a bit better in direct sunlight

it also saves power (theoretically)

So how about the LCD that the Desire is running with.

Will it consume more power (on paper) than a Super AMOLED screen?

Personally, most importantly for me, is how it does in direct sunlight. i need to be able to use my screen outdoors
[Desire General] androidfeen809:
Tft is better than super amoled iMO super amoled looks nasty it has a greenish tinge and colors are over saturated, super lcd has better colors tbh. The only problem is that is consumes much more than super amoled but idc about that
[Desire General] lindahl85:
How do i know wich screen i have in my desire?
[Desire General] hudl:
Old thread... ;) , but if you go to gallery and have the picture rotated so that you have a black border, you won't be able to see a backlight in the black area on an amoled display (do that in a dark area). That looks great! But it's right, the colors are oversaturated and i'm really happy to have the LCD version...
[Desire General] itachi1706:
Doesn't the desire has an AMOLED screen and not a super AMOLED screen? And I feel lcd drains more batt the AMOLED screens. And I have not seen a greenish tinge on my AMOLED screen so far.
[Desire General] androidfeen809:
Amoled doesn't have the tinge super amoled does

i cannot stand ****ty black coulor on lcd

I feel yu lol if we only had the super amoled's blacks it be the best screen for sure!!!. Lol we can't even call blacks on a lcd blacks cuz it looks dark grey lmao
[Desire General] androidfeen809:
Take a look at your blacks are they so black they could blendin with the black around the screen if so yu got some type of OLED screen
[Captivate General] zoltrix:
Rogers said they are getting the captivate soon, and Telus announced that they are releasing the Desire tomorrow ($449 no contract)

Im debating on which i should get. I've wanted the HTC desire for ages, but i heard the captivate has a better processor?

Any ideas?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
yeah captivate wins out on hardware wise, but desire already has good development going on if i'm not mistaken. Dev's are still working on the ins and outs of the galaxy s series.

If you're willing to learn a bit about android and change some settings, i recommend the captivate by far.

If you want a good out of the box experience i think the desire may be better for you?
[Captivate General] novaIS350:
Captivate

Pros

-Bigger, better SAMOLED screen. Better multitouch sensors = better multitouch experience.

-Arguably the fastest SOC (CPU + GPU combo) available on the market right now

-16gb on board storage, supports up to a 32gb storage card.

-Swype keyboard pre-installed

-Thinner, sleek form factor

Cons

-No camera flash

-Samsung TouchWiz vs HTC sense (subjective)

-No indicator LEDs

You can't go wrong either way, but with the exception of the camera flash, the Galaxy S/Captivate has superior hardware.
[Captivate General] REAVER117:
I sold my Nexus One to buy the Captivate and you couldn't pay me to go back. Sure the N1/Desire has better dev support but with CM and Froyo coming to the Galaxy series there isn't a huge need. Not to mention the fact that the Galaxy is going to sell FAR more units than the N1/Desire so the devs will come. The media support of the Captivate alone is worth the switch and the true multi-touch display is a godsend coming from the buggy N1 screen. I do miss the notification trackball on the N1 more than I thought. Let me know if you have any specific questions, I've owned both.
[Captivate General] zoltrix:
I posted this same topic on teh Desire board, and someone said that the cpu's are similar, but the gpu in the captivate is much better, which is pretty obvious in that quake 3 demo video that's been floating around alot.

But i dont really plan on playing any games.. i mean if i had the captivate, id definatly ahave an intence game on it just to show off to my friends, but i dont plan on sitting there playing a game.

Also, camera flash isnt a big con really, but its nice to have. The LED indicator on the other hand is a must have ever since i had my bb curve 8310. I got an htc magic now and i miss that blinking red light like crazy. I know the captivate has some app to use a random pixel buthaving teh real deal is always better imo.

custom interface (touchwiz vs htc sense) isnt a big deal sincei can probably just put a desire rom on the captivate and vice versa..

I dont know. I guess ill wait for the pricing from Rogers for the captivate. IF its something stupid (which it probably will be) then ill get the Desire.

Also, if i get the desire, ill ahve to worry about unlocking it, which i know nothing about..
[Captivate General] Croak:
Rogers will launch the Captivate at pretty much the same price as the Desire and Vibrant.
[Captivate General] ConceptVBS:
The camera on the Captivate takes some fantastic night shots without flash. Flash also has limited range. Its better to brighten up an entire image rather just focusing a spotlight (LED) on a certain area of the photograph.
[Captivate General] zoltrix:
so i guess its stupid for me to get teh desire? it's just simply out dated now?
[Captivate General] naplesbill:
The Captivate and Desire may seem similar on paper but processor speed being equal does not make the processors equal. Is an AMD processor running at 2ghz the same as an Intel processor running at 2ghz? The answer is no.

The Captivate processor is the same processor in the iPhone 4 with a better (but same type) GPU. This is why the other post stated that the Captivate has the best SOC (system-on-a-chip) currently being sold.

The Captivate is not without it's bugs but those will get worked out. I have always been the type to look for potential and not just out-of-the-box. Once we get Froyo on this device it is going to be incredibly "Captivating." LOL (yes, I know that was corny)
[Captivate General] thindery:
I'm having serious doubts about my Captivate. I have yet to hear anything from Samsung about when or IF they will fix the GPS issues. I never realized how much I relied on GPS and just took it for granted when I'm looking for shortcuts cutting through the city, etc. But this phone can't ever find me. And when you are driving down a road at 50 mph and need to decide where to turn next, you need a phone that can find you within seconds, not through up a blue area that you MIGHT be in.
[Captivate General] zoltrix:

[Captivate General] Switch33:
I just checked at a Telus store, if you are planning on buying the Desire to unlock and use on Rogers the price becomes $599. The $449 price is only the buy out price for using on an existing Telus plan.

I have the Galaxy S (Captivate) and it has an outstanding screen, really amazing. Excellent audio quality too. In theory the CPU/GPU combo is better but some design decisions by samsung and slow IO mean that you might still get lag sometimes.

It is a fine unit but I am returning mine this week and will probably get the Desire instead... simply because the GPS on the Samsung is totally useless.. if you need navigation it is a useless phone.
[Desire General] steve228uk:
I've played with the Galaxy S and I HATED TouchWiz. If you root it and put a decent ROM on there it might be okay but I do love my Desire <3

Thanks for your input. But besides GPS, what else made you want to return the phone? Is it worth the switch over to the captivate for teh better cpu/gpu or is the desire just a better pacakge all togetehr?
