[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
just in case we need to, how would you revert back to stock?
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
I'd just use Nandroid and ClockWork Recovery and flash back to what you had earlier.
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
From what I've read so far, its not the official Samsung update. But I wonder who's behind this update then?:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] questgraves:
Update

all my mods where ok untill i tried to reflash OCV4. doesnt play nicely with this firmware. stuck on vibrant screen in boot loop with the init-d file correctly in place
[Vibrant Android Development] jayty97:
It is an official Samsung build.. just not necessarily one that is ready or meant for release... may just be the release version.
[Vibrant Android Development] jaker.the.skater:
2 questions.

1: is there a way to do this with clockwork?

2: can someone pull out the new swipe? me want :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Ashex1:
Currently no way to do it with clockwork. You'll have to wait for someone to create a zip. Using Odin is not that hard though, Plug it in to the pc run "adb reboot download" then load the files in Odin and flash.

Swype.
[Vibrant Android Development] questgraves:
aha idea

ok going to copy the new Sywpe and task manager etc both the files and backup with Titanium. reflash old firmware, restore new apps:)
[Vibrant Android Development] jaker.the.skater:
thank you sir! will take a crash course on odin tonight I suppose :)
[Vibrant Android Development] monsta34:
i am in odin and it says file analysis for about 5 min now is his normal i have all the correct setting checked and i am on stock and rooted!
[Vibrant Android Development] questgraves:
actually...

i just thought about it, ill do it this way

1) extract the new apps. youtube/swype/task/camcorder.

2) check out all the GPS configuration files and settings.

has anyone applied any of JAC's kernels and/or any lagfixes?
[Vibrant Android Development] questgraves:
sounds locked

sounds like your locked up. now its up to you but i have been locked up a dozen times in odin. pulled cord, battery. got back into download mode by leaving phone off>plug usb into computer> when you see the battery hold both volume buttons and power> then start over with odin
[Vibrant Android Development] monsta34:
thanks my man, every is cool, thanks for the reply you are the man!
[Vibrant Android Development] pychobj2001:
to get to vibrants download mode from the triangle the trick is to turn off...plug in to usb...hold down vol +/- hold power down till u see a black screen after the vibrant logo, then right at the second black screen, let go of the power button....that should get u to download mode

Edit (looks like somebody already helped u...i need to read the whole thread...jeez...lol)
[Vibrant Android Development] neva dinova:
my vibrant gets all the way to modem and then the phone shuts off any ideas. i tried odining back to the first stock vibrant build and it gets stuck on cach fs and i tried with the option repartition checked and it sticks at do not turn off target does any one else think i may be the proud owner of a brick?
[Vibrant Android Development] nickerrides:

[Vibrant Android Development] redwolf313k:
Did you remove the sd card?
[Vibrant Android Development] neva dinova:
yes i got it to flash back to original firmware but the screen still goes dark on the update
[Vibrant Android Development] redwolf313k:
Maybe try re downloading the update perhaps the file got corrupted while downloading.
[Vibrant Android Development] neva dinova:
well i downloaded the samsung firmware version and the version in this thread and they both go dark once they hit modem.bin should i redownload anyway?

p.s. thanks for your help im going to bed going to try again tomorrow
[Vibrant Android Development] redwolf313k:
Yea or try flashing just the 512.pit and the new update. Remember the you hanger to extract the update file and put the zip file the says home as pda.
[Vibrant Android Development] vinaychopra:
Could somebody confirm if this fixes the GPS issue.

Appreciate it.
[Vibrant Android Development] lou0611:
Great Rom BUT!!!!

Missing Slingbox and ESPN radio paid app.. restoring to previous rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Oh yes, confirmed its working beautifully
[Vibrant Android Development] youneek:
Your other option is to install ADB and run "adb reboot download". I think that takes you into download mode.
[Vibrant Android Development] rajendra82:
Missing apps in the market are easily fixable. Replace the firmware version name in /system/build.prop on the two lines that follow "# Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint" with the original firmware version name. Reboot. Install a couple of apps, and all missing apps will reappear. We know on the Captivate side, because we have had so many leaked firmwares to play with.
[Vibrant Android Development] eortizr:
will Ryanza Lag fix work with this ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] questgraves:
shoot

well i am glad to hear about the gps for you guys, that was a big one for me, but i am bummed i cannot get the lagfix or kernels to work with this. untill JAC writes a compatable one or works whatever gps changes are into the new voodoo stuff im back to the old. I got the new 1.6 youtube app to work on old firmware. The taskmanager will not work on the old. im going for swype now...
[Vibrant Android Development] questgraves:
oh ya

almost forgot. as some of you may know, and this is a good indication that something was fixed for GPS. the old test menu gps code does not work with this. i find it odd that this changed if they didnt do something to it...i was hoping to see if any easily noticable changes where made..Doh! just realized i didnt copy out system/etc/gps for review
[Vibrant Android Development] eortizr:
well,, going back to Hybrid r3,,, everything was looking good until I tried the GPS... got no lock at all... waited for 5 minutes... no lock,,, and it froze the phone and had to force reboot... tried again... same story no lock and phone got froze....

in Hybrid r3 at least I get a lock withing 30 to 40 seconds...
[Vibrant Android Development] eortizr:
the gps file contains the same info as the older rom
[Vibrant Android Development] monsta34:
my gps and navigation works flawless with the old firmware i had to be outside to get a lock and it was never on point, but this firmware is a improvement so far thumbs u!
[Vibrant Android Development] youneek:
Can someone post their build.prop file in /system/build.prop on the old rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] eortizr:
is weird on why is working for some people and other dont (like my self)... I downloaded GPS Status... and when I got to 5 Sats in view.. the phone froze for about a minute... then it came back and I had 8 on view and 5 fixed... ... then I turned off the gps and started again... ran GPS Status and was waiting for 5 minutes without getting any Sat in view....
[Vibrant Android Development] eortizr:
So I gave it another shut... this time did the same.... Reflashed old Stock via Odin, then rebooted on clockword and reseted to factory, rested dalvik, wiped cached, etc..

rebooted again.. then Odin the new ROM... and yeap... GPS seems to be working ... went to the balcony and got the fix withing 25 sec.. .the first time, turned off GPS,, rebooted and turned on again... got fix in less than 10 sec...
[Vibrant Android Development] shabgard:
Ok flashed back to stock and tried this update everything went well after odin was done phone rebooted into android system recovery page and i get this error

movi_checkin done!

E: cant mount /dev/block/stl10 (invalid argument)

E:copy_dbdata_media: cant mount

DBDATA: copy default media content failed

and its keep going into recovery page every time i reboot the phone and same error pops up

any idea?

Edit: I flashed back to stock after this error, and it works fine but for some reason keep getting the error above every time i try this update.

Edit: formatted my internal SD card and applied the update and working like a charm.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
Yeah I'm thinking we should all format our SD cards, to avoid any problems.. the update wipes data/cache for us already.

One thing you guys missed is the fact that the BARS are fixed! Should shut some people up about how many bars they don't have! The -dBm readout looks accurate now too..

I think the Album Art which was hideous before, is looking better but it's still pretty ugly

Right now I'm in the process of formatting my SD Card/data wipe once more, lots of weird issues and I suspect it's due to the old cache files stored on the SD

YES, OP - can you make it clear that we must format our SD cards to get all old information off of it? I couldn't sign into Google, and the Music Player would crash.. etc. until I wiped the internal SD card. Ext. SD was out at the time.

We also have an awesome LANDSCAPE Music player instead of that annoying cover flow thing!
[Vibrant Android Development] SamVib:
Worked for me on Win7 x64.

Everything went well. It was simple. I have not experienced any lag, or bugs (crosses fingers). I re-rooted, flashed the Captivate's camera (works) and I am about to apply RyanZ OCLF.

Edit: I noticed sweeping the screen to unlock isn't easy anymore. Takes me 2-3 tries. Anybody else notice this?
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
Sweep to unlock requires more sweep, but I don't mind it. To be honest, I don't know why anyone would install one of those hacky lag "fixes" with this update. My phone is super snappy now, way better than even before and I know what other people had (long black screens, I never had it).

One IMPORTANT thing to note is that when it loses reception between networks, GPS almost instantly stops working, but it will pick back up soon. Also, to get my first fix I had to go outside however now it works perfectly fine inside.
[Vibrant Android Development] richan90:
If we flash this, can we still get OTA updates from T-mobile?
[Vibrant Android Development] neva dinova:
Can some one tell me how to wipe my internal SD
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
I never deleted internal memory and everything is working flawlessly . No weird issues at all. I'm not saying people shouldn't but mine is working fine ....
[Vibrant Android Development] NexVision:
It is not necessary to wipe your internal SD just make sure u dont have a .androidsecure folder on there.
[Vibrant Android Development] LovellKid:
I haven't flashed this yet.. but I was gonna tell my little tip on Odin. I used to have the stalling problem and would have to redo it a few times for Odin to work. I then started doing this and it has worked first time ever since. Once you get in download mode and you have a com, use the key combination or adb to get into download mode a second time. Then flash your desired firmware.

Lovellkid
[Vibrant Android Development] eortizr:
so, will the current lag fix work with this ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] NexVision:
Im using one with it works great here getting 22xx on Quadrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobofosho123:
so since this isn't REALLY froyo, flash 10.1 won't work yet, right?
[Vibrant Android Development] davbran:
Here is how you get your odin working every single time.

What you need:

Samsung USB Drivers

Android SDK w/tools directory in path

USB Debugging Enabled

Now you need to follow these directions exactly:

1. Open Odin

2. Connect data cable after odin launches

3. Open CMD Prompt - If Odin shows your devices com port connection, if not try refreshing your usb connection or see the usb driver is working

4. Type the following without quotes into the CMD Prompt: "adb reboot download"

5. Check Odin to seen if it still shows a com port. If so, proceed to follow the instructions in the OP for Odin.

I have done it this way for weeks now, and never fails. It also doesn't take as long as the instructions make it appear.

Good Luck
[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
My resuts....

GPS Works

Compass Works

The task manager widget is actually pretty good

Seems fast, dont need a lagfix, but I never did before either
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
I have one on my sd card named that but not internal, should I delete it? And what is it?
[Vibrant Android Development] bobofosho123:
Can someone please tell me if flash works or not? And is someone going to come out with a simple .zip to flash? Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Flash is for 2.2. This is a 2.1 rom
[Vibrant Android Development] bobofosho123:
Yeah I'm aware of that but I looked at the quote saying that this update is "like froyo". And I hoped that maybe just maybe samsung had modified flash to work on 2.2. But I guess I got my hopes to high
[Vibrant Android Development] Reyland:
can someone tell if is posible to flash jac overclocked kernell after flashing this update,i wasnt able to do it!
[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
I had the same problem.... have to sweep it really far to unlock. Really caused me problems before I figured it out.
[Vibrant Android Development] NexVision:
Not likely since it has been said a different kernel is being used with different links. We will have to wait for a update to it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Reyland:
Thanks for you fast response!
[Vibrant Android Development] Uglyboyed:
Noob question, but now that I have flashed successfully and reinstalled majority of my apps, I cannot locate ESPN Fantasy Football app i purchased. I see he posted that this may happen, so how do i change the firmware exactly so i can find it? :( CANT LOSE MY FANTASY FOOTBALL APP!!!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] youneek:
Im testing a few things now to fix the market. Can someone who hasn't flashed the update tell me if the app "Pic Push" shows up for you in the market?
[Vibrant Android Development] skater4690:
why is there 2 threads about the same thing? just wondering or are they slightly different?
[Vibrant Android Development] NexVision:

I'm running on 7 x64, on both my laptop and desktop, and they work fine.

Try installing Samsung Kies. After I did this, I have never had any problems with my phone detecting.
[Vibrant Android Development] Shagman68:
Well, I'm happy with this update. It fixed my compass, GPS and now I can get 3G in my house instead of Edge. I had 3G outside with 1mb dwn and .25 up, now I get 3G inside the house at 4mb dwn and .56 up. Plus I can now force 3G mode which is nice cause I got used to forcing 3G on my old G1. I also gotta laugh at all the ppl in the debate on Task manager or no task manager, cause now Samsung included one. All those no task guys are gonna be whining to have a dev remove it from this build. I'm happy now, til my Froyo comes out. OH, I could not get the 1% battery to function on this new rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
THANKS a lot for the instructions :) never used ODIN before...everything went perfect...to be sure, I formatted both internal and external SD cards ( made a backup as well).

BTW, first time when I connected the phone, ODIN installed drivers and two of the tabs were yellow with COM connections. Then I disconnected the phone and went through the sequence once again and only one field was lit up yellow....thanks a lot once again :)...have the new ROM now, will test it out...can't wait for the battery mod ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] RadAway:
I gotta say I was skeptical at first, but this actually does fix the GPS and Compass.

This phone is awesome now :)
[Vibrant Android Development] bobofosho123:
IMO, the biggest thing I wanted from this update was flash, and obviously since it's not froyo, it doesn't have it. I feel like that's the single thing I wanted samsung to do, and no dice. Ahh well...hopefully sammy comes out with froyo soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tempestrs4:
Will flashing this via ODIN wipe my current rom? like my settings and data?
[Vibrant Android Development] unikhmer:
So are we able to receive OTA updates still with this?
[Vibrant Android Development] jdkackley:
I got nuthin! I never flashed this, and kinda dont want too. Couldn't find your APP! Am I supposed too? F.Y.I. @ youneek.
[Vibrant Android Development] Uglyboyed:
"should open the file /system/build.prop in a text editor."

How do i do this? how do i get to the system/build.prop?
[Vibrant Android Development] rajendra82:
Root
[Vibrant Android Development] Uglyboyed:
is there an application i should download to access \system? like root explorer? is there something similiar for the desktop maybe? like droid explorer?
[Vibrant Android Development] youneek:
I used root explorer and click the Mount button on the top so you can edit system files first.
[Vibrant Android Development] youneek:
I updated the post with a link that contains the original rom, the leaked rom, added screen shots, instructions for fixing the market and a couple other updates. After fixing the market, etc. this rom is excellent. If you've ever had problems with ODIN, my zip might help. I used to have problems with one I found in another thread but this one has worked perfect. I'm on Windows 7 x64
[Vibrant Android Development] youneek:
Do not flash the voodoo lagfix with this leak. It isn't compatible yet.
[Vibrant Android Development] Uglyboyed:
It worked. Awesome!!! Great update, phone is working better then ever!
[Vibrant Android Development] youneek:
Glad it went smoothly for you! So far, I'm pretty happy with this update.
[Vibrant Android Development] bullale:
+1 for this working.

I installed this, then rooted, then rom manager, then did a backup, then installed Mobile AP. Actually I did it twice, for myself and my wife.

GPS and Compass actually work now. We are both getting 40ft accuracy with 7 sats locked, whereas previously we would get 0 locked and would be misplaced by a block or a block and a half.

Signal bars are more accurate.

It is slightly more responsive during media scanning upon bootup.

I doubt the data speed is as optimized as in Eugene's roms, and I doubt that it is as fast as with Supercurio's voodoo kernel, but this is the only way for me to get GPS and the compass working.
[Vibrant Android Development] briaking:
Samsung Kies does not work for me. It says "Connection Error, Connection Terminated" or something like that. I just did an uninstall, it didn't have anything I needed anyway.
[Vibrant Android Development] bullale:
not flawless. I get FC when I try to alter the vibration intensity for haptic feedback. I haven't seen that one mentioned before.

My mistake. The FCs I'm getting should be attributed to the MobileAP, not the ROM. So far the ROM is near perfect. I look forward to flash, JIT, and anything that might improve battery life that we might get with Froyo, but I'm in no rush now.
[Vibrant Android Development] djquick:
I haven't had any f/c's since I flashed this and i've been using it for almost a day now.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
FYI ur FCs are being caused by MobileAP

;)

I know because i've tested it.

you're going to have to go back to stock then update.

make sure you don't install MobileAP

use wireless tether until they update MobileAP

:)
[Vibrant Android Development] jamesyl:
Has anyone figured out the GPS changes in this leaked firmware? I'm very curious what was the root cause for the GPS problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] rakeshchn:
Hey guys I want to flash this but this is my first ROM flash. Dont shout if these are silly questions...

1) Does it help to do a Titanium backup of user apps and data and then copy it to PC before formatting the SD card. After flasing the ROM copy the Titanium backup to internal SD and run a TB restore will restore my apps and data?

2) Does this ROM has all T-mobile bloatware like avatar, kindle, gogo etc?

3) Does a ROM flash restore boot up and shutdown animations and sounds also, as I have removed/renamed them with root access and dont want them back

4) When an OTA comes will it be minimally invasive on user data and apps? That is no need for manual backup and restore. I would guess so coz there will be a lot of user dont know how to do these stuff.
[Vibrant Android Development] SeanFloyd:
Awesome work, thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] CompConfig:
use the market fix, I have both those programs working now
[Vibrant Android Development] unikhmer:
Followed instructions and everything went great. Best of all my GPS works!!! I can finally use Google Maps now! Going to test the navigation on the way to work. Everything seems to run smoothly. Haven't encountered a single problem so far.
[Vibrant Android Development] bruno.borges:
Does the WiFi antenna got better reception with this new firmware?

At home my laptop gets perfect signal, but phone does not (one, maybe two bars).
[Vibrant Android Development] CompConfig:
A little caution, after I flashed this everything was great until i decided to install one of the battery mods I have used before and that had the phone FCing on everything. I re flashed and all is well.
[Vibrant Android Development] bruno.borges:
I extracted a few apps and installed on my stock Vibrant and one that worked was YouTube. But others are not being installed, showing just a message that an error occurred. One is the MusicPlayer

Anyone else's doing the same?
[Vibrant Android Development] hurrpancakes:
Does Ryans 2-3 lagfix work with this?
[Vibrant Android Development] Shagman68:
Thats because the battery mods replace the framework-apk file, so if you put the old framework on your new rom, it is gonna do crazy stuff, cause it aint made for it.
[Vibrant Android Development] johnnyh64:
Thanks for the info, I do want the battery mod so I hope someone can redo it to work with this.
[Vibrant Android Development] johnnyh64:
I'm very curious about this as well because mine is seeming to still be a bit slower than my Ryan lag fix. I can especially see it in the Market (even after Market fix).

I also notice the GPS is faster to lock and it shows it's locking onto more satellites but I think the accuracy is worse! I use to show 0-2 locks before but for some reason when actually using MyTracks and Google Nav, I would get pretty accurate locations. However, in the past it seemed more inconsistant for some reason. This one definitely locks faster and to more but it is only giving about 30 feet of accuracy where before I would get under 20 feet most of the time. Weird, I know..
[Vibrant Android Development] dan0zone:
It uses the built-in process manager..... its the end result of idiots not understanding the OS, begging for a form of task manager... so it was given to them to shut them up...It will not "kill" a running app, but just stop it ... so basically , it's comfort food from samsung.,.,.,

Now that being said let's move this NON_windows mobile OS forward...
[Vibrant Android Development] smcabete:
Sim unlock no longer works

Sim unlock before flashing update
[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
I assume you mean that reading the unlock code doesn't work anymore. Surely the SIM unlock works if you already have the code?
[Vibrant Android Development] solidkundi:
wow this seems very promising...thanks OP...but i have few questions though.....and hopefully the answers to these questions will clear things up for the n00b/intermediate Android users like myself.... thanx in advance!!

1) The only backups i need for an efficient recovery of my (current) stock rom....... is to do a "Nandroid" and "Titanium" backup .... right?

2) I see that "Titanium Backup" folder is in my internal SD... how about the Nandroid backup files?

3) Also would like to confirm that i don't have to format my internal or external SD cards.... all i have to do is to get rid of ".androidsecure", right?

4) I'm not sure about which lagfix i applied, it was a while back.. but from what I've read... i can simply flash a rom over a lagfix, right?
[Vibrant Android Development] lp894:
this will start ok, but the first thing it tries to flash is Modem.Bin and it never finishes......at all. It just hangs there. So I end up having to flash the original back. This #sucks
