[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a400meter:
SOLVED!!!!

Thanks for the guidance neasoon. Here is what I did to fix this issue.

1) Nandroid / Titanium backup (just in case)

2) Downloaded the 'update.zip' from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804305

3) Apply update.zip using Clockwork Recovery

4) Reboot, and fixed!!!

A few comments on this method:

Apparently the sbl.bin / boot.bin are relatively rare files to come across and are not located in most firmware leaks/updates. Hence the reason restoring using ODIN back to stock is not solving this issue. These files were grabbed from the JI4 leak and have been put into a flashable update.zip provided by untermensch. These files also fix phones with hardware locks and I believe have been included in some of the recent OTA updates. (Cannot verify as I have not received one) So some that have installed the OTA may have magically seen their 'AT&T' screens disappear afterwards.

I applied the update successfully, and all is well. (NO MORE BRIGHT WHITE AT&T SPLASH SCREEN!). Please make sure you read the OP in the link above before you proceed with the update. Keep in mind it is written towards those with hardware locked phones, so it mentions instructions to get into recovery via adb. Assuming you don't have a hardware locked phone you can reboot to recovery using normal methods to apply this update.

Cheers!

Will the froyo 2.2 fix this? After flashing the captivate onto my galaxy s then loading the ji6 pit, I'm not ready for the emotional roller coaster that may ensue if I do this.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a400meter:
As long as the boot.bin is included it should fix it. Not sure which rom this is included in though.

Can't get to download mode - stuck with AT&T startup screen on T-Mobile Vibrant

As instructed by T-Mobile, I was using Kies Mini to upgrade my phone to Android 2.2 and it froze up in the process (was stuck at 34% for about 30 minutes) so I took out the USB. It then flashed a picture of a phone --- !!! ---- computer, with the exclamation mark in a yellow triangle between the two.

I found an online guide for how to get out of this state. Unfortunately I didn't realize it was for the Captivate, the AT&T version of the phone. Following the first steps I used the Odin given here. Here I got stuck and couldn't go on to the second step to do the master reset because I cannot get the phone into download mode.

When I try to turn it on the screen flashes "AT&T World Phone." I have tried holding down the volume keys with and without the power button but nothing works. When I plug in the USB it flashed an empty battery with the circular loading logo in the middle. If I can't get the phone into download mode I don't think I can even try to get the correct Odin file on it.

How can I get my phone out of this state and back into working condition as a T-Mobile phone? I'm ok with technology but never tinker with such modifications on my own and need some real guidance to get myself out of this mess. Any help is appreciated.

Dont freak out. It can be fixed. Just look around itn the dev section. You will find everything you need to get back to stock.

When i try to start radio or the built in mediaplayer on low battery, i get the msg that the battery is low, and then it just exits. Any way to get around this?

I mean, its my batterylife, not samsungs, if i want to drain it on videoes or any other stuff on the last 10%, then that should be up to me, and not for the os to decide. Its actualy very annoying.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i'd like to know a hack for that as well.

basically now once the phone reaches red or 10% it will auto close many programs, and only allows the bare basic funtions like cell phone call

it's a programmed weird way of self preservation, to prevent total power loss (death)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjhajj:
Okay so I know there's a plethora of stuff in forums about this but I have one quick question.

I had to swap my previous HTC DESIRE over because of a screen issue. My previous Desire had all the Telstra branding removed by my friend, however it was not 'rooted', I did not have that SuperUser app or anything, there was just no Bloatware from Telstra. I was still even able to update to Froyo wirelessly, through HTC updates.

All I want to know is how to do this because I'm pretty sure this isn't what you call rooting... I would go back to my friend to do it but he's currently in another country so I was hoping someone here could tell me exactly what it is he did/I have to do to get my phone back to that state.

It's like it was an outright HTC DESIRE with no branding, just as stock as they come. I'm not too interested in installing custom firmware or anything like that.

Hope this makes sense.

Paul.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cheetah2k:
Hi all,

Having an issue at the moment. I had originally flashed JG4, then JM5 onto my SGS (was originally Optus JF3), then decided to check out the Asia FW JH1, but when I try to flash back to JM5, Odin gets to the "dont remove download target" in the dialogue box and I'm left waiting...

After 30min +, nothing is happening... If I remove the phone, I get the connect phone to pc Icon on reboot.. I then have to reflash back to JH1 to get the phone working again......

Do I need to use a different PIT file, or is there something else I need to do. :confused:

Cheers for assistance in advance.

What is the best "Benchmark" testing app out there? I see people testing their Quadrant scores after the lag fix, and I was wondering what app they are using to test it?

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate General] designgears:
Quadrant :)
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
Linpack is another benchmarking application.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
Quadrant is the one you see most people use. Linpack test mflops, Neo Core test FPS (frames per second). Those are just a few people use, I have them on mine to compare between what I do and my wifes.
[Captivate General] ranova:
Quadrant is useless. As proven in all the speed hacks, its not a good indicator.

Anybody know the install directory for the app WidgetLocker? I want to change the color of the sliders like I did with the framework but I can't find where WidgetLocker installed to...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] kevin@TeslaCoil:
It'll install to /data/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker.apk (Or sometimes com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk).

For the standard android sliders it uses the same images with the same names, so it should be straight forward to setup your theme on it. I plan on including proper theme support in the future so you and others will be able to release APK themes to apply to WidgetLocker.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] nemesis000000:

[Droid X Themes and Apps] x.v_:
Just a guess... you may need to be rooted to see /data?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Explodee:
Come one dude, give me some credit. I got into the /data folder with root explorer and found the install files for WidgetLocker and Tesla LED but what I was looking for wasn't in there... I don't think. I'm looking for the circular .png files that fill those bars on the lockscreen. Specifically the lock, sound things, Tesla LED icon, and the camera icon.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Explodee:
Wow, I'm dumb. For some reason I was looking in the /data/data folder... that's what I get for messin around with this stuff at 4am. I got it though and it's gonna look siiiiiiiiiick. Stay tuned kids.

After trying the lag fix I could not longer open any applications they just kept force closing. I tried restarting but now the phone wont even turn back on. it stays on galaxy s screen then just goes black. I ade a back up in clock work prior to doing this but I cant access it as i was accessing it through rom manager. How can i flash the back up to recover my phone =(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_bot:
IF you made the backup using NANDROID in Clockwork recovery:

boot into recovery by holding volume up+volume down+power, as soon as you see the "white vibrant", let go of power but keep holding volume up+volume down. you will be brought to recovery, it should be black background with blue text, then use your volume buttons, to go to reinstall packages, use the power button to select it, that will put you into clockwork recovery. use the volume buttons to go to Nandroid->Restore then choose your backup, Good luck.

If all else fails you may need to use ODIN to get the factory image back on, information on how to do that is in the stickies. Search for it, you will find it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] }{Alienz}{:
You can open the backup by holding both volume keys as you power on the phone I believe....either that or it will go into download mode and you can then use odin to flash. Hope it helps.

Edit: nevermind, look at the pay above mine lol

Recovery

Thanks for the quick replys greatly appreciated. I click reinstall packages but ti doesnt go into recovery. I'm thinking because I called the lag fix update.zip it is reinstalling that instead of the recovery..I think im still new to all this. I looked at the odin sticky. is there a way I can use that program and use the backup that is on my phone or is it lost and must I use the one that is provided in the sticky?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blu3scr33n:
You can install Stock Rom Via ODIN. I found the link from this forum. I was in the same situation yesterday but I ended up flashing to Vibrant5.zip instead. After that, my files were still on the phone. If you made a backup with ROM manager, your backup files should be in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. Reinstall ROM manager and see if you can restore back to that.

Solution

**********SOLUTION***********

Thanks for the reply's from those that did. i ended up using odin3 which took me forever to figure out lol. The brunt of my problems was getting into download mode. after searching the internet for which seemed like for ever and 100 unsuccessful attempts to get into download mode I came across on post that really helped.

I had to turnoff the phone, plug it in and wait until i seen the green battery indicator. Once i saw it i held down both volume up and down keys then pressed power. The key was as soon as the battery indicator disappeared you have to let go of power.

that worked on the first try for me from there it was smooth sailing. Odin is very simple but its the little things that are very tricky and because i didnt know what the protocol was I didnt know whether I was even in download mode or not, so these are some things to know

*you will no when you are in download mode because a picture of a yellow triangle will appear on the screen with an android in the middle with a shovel digging.

*No the recovery menu is not download mode

*Just because Odin detects the phone(Displays COM port in yellow) Does not mean you are in download mode....Which was my misconception.

*The "analyzing file" message should only appear briefly a minute or two max. Anything longer is not normal and Odin needs to be reset as well as the whole process.

*It doesn't take to long to flash and it WORKS I am back on stock and happy as hell =)

Thanks again to those that helped and good luck to any future brickers.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 98classic:
i just saw this post but what i did was to save the clockwork update.zip into my computer and downloaded this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739300. unzipped it and deleted the root.zip from the directory and renamed update.zip to root.zip and hit rootme.bat

the program will push root.zip (clockwork recovery) into phone and reboot into recovery while stuck in any screen =)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzanitsch:
I had this exact same set of issues. Ultimately what caused the problem is the fact Busybox wasn't installed. I ran the update.zip version that supposedly had busybox, ran the script and then all of my programs crashed. The phone would never reboot after that. Ultimately saved it with Odin and was able to restore my nandroid backup after getting ROM Manager going again. Very scary hour there!

I was flashing jelly bean 4.1 (my previous version was ICS 4.0 by ExROM by LightX). When I rebooted my phone it was showing the Vibrant screen >> "VIBRANT SAMSUNG". then my phone was not starting. it was stocked in the screen. i did CWM recovery but it was also not working. I have tried many ways by ODIN or Heimdell Soft Unbrick. but now i get into only downloading mode. no vibrant screen isn't appearing. only one time ODIN can recognize my phone then i haven't the t959 tar file. so i didn't flash that time. after that i gave soft unbrick by Heimdell's software then my download mode went off and not restarting. by the way when i downloaded the TAR file and connect to ODIN then ODIN couldn't recognize my phone. my PC can recognize my phone but ODIN can't. whenever i give soft unbrick the download screen goes off. i have tried two computers and two cables. same problem appearing. i have also tried all odin versions but these are not working. only one time ODIN can recognize my phone. further before, when i gave volume up + volume down + power button then RST_STAT = 0*0 ..... appearing and an android said "UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE" but now there is no android but the red little letters still appearing on my screen.

Hi everyone.

It is possible to get the BJ2 work with a normal unlimited data-plan, by normal I mean no smartphone plan.

If this is possible please let me know.!!! If not also let me know so I sold my BJ2

thanks!

any help with above issue pls?
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
Have you recently installed then uninstalled a custom lockscreen? Look at my sticky (link in my sig) and towards the bottom of the first post you'll see some attached cabs. download the one that says Lockscreen HD2 original then install it. It should bring you back to normal.
[HD2 General] KT:
hi there...

i did stumble upon your sticky and downloaded the lockscreen HD2 original cab file yesterday itself. I have soft reset the device after the installation but still there is no lock screen. Once the device boots up its directly in the Sense UI. Anything else I can do to fix OR might have done wrong?

Thanks for your input!

** Also, to answer your question, no i have not installed or uninstalled any custom lockscreen.. I am still in the learning stages of flashing a ROM and once I get comfortable with all the steps involved, I'll take the plunge but at this point the device is in stock condition except for the apps I have installed. Thanks
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
Maybe something here will help. did you install Bsb Tweaks, also try installing the lockscreen cab to device.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=658884&highlight=lockscreen
[HD2 General] KT:
Thanks for the link - it kind of helped, which is to say - when i go to start menu and tap on "lock" it does lock the screen but after unlocking it when i press the red button to shut the display and again press it the lockscreen doesnt come up.. i'd hate to click twice before I press the red button only to make sure it doesnt come to life and call my aunt while in my pocket :-/

I tried reinstalling the cab from your sticky to the device (coz I wasnt sure where i had installed it previously) but the problem persists and No I havent installed any BSB or any other tweaks (atleast not intentionally)
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
So when you go to start , etc, then lock, after you unlock it you're presented with the lock screen Options. Are those set accordingly? Once set, it'll ask you to save changes, then click ok in top right corner.
[HD2 General] KT:
Okay so here's what I do -

- tap on start menu

- bottom left soft key says "lock"

- tap on lock

- device lockscreen comes on

- now if i press the red button to switch off and then press it again, the lockscreen stays.

-but if i slide the lock on the lockscreen to reveal the sense UI, close the device and then switch it on again, it doesnt show me the lockscreen

does that help you help me?

thanks a ton for your patience!
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
Do you have cookies home tab/chteditor or bsb tweaks installed? If you do that might be causing the fail.
[HD2 General] KT:
No I dont. I dont have any of those installed. I want to install the cookies but havent installed any mods yet. The only things I've installed on there are apps.

:(

One of them being Resco Explorer which has a Task manager with it. Could that have made my screen disappear?
[HD2 General] brucegil:
I don't think Resco Task Manager is the problem. I have it installed, and I still have the Lock screen that displays when I hit the red key.
[HD2 General] KT:
Thanks for the input. Any other checks from anybody as to how can i solve this problem? I really dont wanna find refuge in hard reset... its kinda pain in the we know where to setup all the accounts n stuff

thanks
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
Listen...

Once you go to the start menu, select SETTINGS. Then tap the MENU soft key in the bottom right and select ALL SETTINGS. You should see LOCK in the top-right. Tap it, this locks your screen. Immediately unlock. You are now at the LOCKSCREEN OPTIONS page. Set accordingly. Save. Tap OK in top right. Done. Drink a beer.
[HD2 General] KT:
I already tried this before.. Tapping on the Lock icon in the "ALL SETTINGS" does not lock the screen. Instead, it directly takes me to the password screen (maybe what you referred to as lockscreen options) where my first choice is a checkbox for "Prompt if phone unused for ___ mins and the other option is to choose a password.
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
Yeah that's the stuff. That's where you enable it. Check the box, set the password (pin).

Sorry for not realizing you had been there. If setting and saving those options doesn't work, not sure what to tell you.

Are you connected to an exchange server?

(you have to make sure after you hit the obvious SAVE button that pops up, you have to hit the OK button in the top right the screen.)
[HD2 General] KT:
Thanks for all the help ya'll :)

The problem wasnt gettin resolved so finally i hard reset, well actually i was plannin on flashing with a new ROM so did that... got the chuckyROM on there now... rocks!!

I can't seem to catch a break...

I haven't been able to compile anything with my build environment. For at least a few weeks. I know it should work, because I compiled a build of WD40M0D prior to all my merging of source. I'm using a MacBookPro running OS X 10.5.8
