[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TyricSB:
I too just soft bricked my brand new Vibrant. I can get into Download Mode no problem, and Odin detects my phone (ID:COM - 0:[COM4]). Then I do the following:

Set the pit file (s1_odin_20100512.pit)

Set the pda file (T959UVJFD.tar)

Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are automatically set (and left that way).

When I click start. I get the following:

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/004> cache.rfs

<ID:0/004> modem.bin

<ID:0/004> factoryfs.rfs

And it will hang at the same point on the progress bar on factoryfs.rfs. I've left it for over an hour with no progress what so ever.

Any ideas?

Thanks

can you help me? my phone is bricked and i tried to reflash with odin, but it won't get past the galaxy S screen, with these steps i can't make it past step 7. it doesn't show any devices attached and says error:device not found
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armored:
HAHAHA!!!! download mode, finally! woohoo! thank you! *sigh*

Now, just to get odin to see it. any suggestions?

btw, vibrant T-mo US, soft bricked after flashing obsidian v2 from axura 2.1.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armored:
figured it out. I had erased my stock vibrant drivers so windows 7 would let me install the adb drivers (called samsung modem drivers.) I just re-installed the Samsung stock vibrant drivers and voila!

odin did hang up on me twice, but i just kept trying (left it in dowload mode and just restarted odin.) and it worked! just dont start over once the blue progress bar has started on your phone. i hear this is the only way to irreversibly brick yer vibrant.

THANK YOU ALL for the help in this thread! you saved me 200 bones!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioancr:
I don't know if it could work, but just in case, have you tried Heimdall instead? Many many times it saved me when Odin won't even pick up my phone. There's a all in one package for Windows, Heimdall One-Click t959. Good luck
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
I agree. I have another Vibrant that I am using to run some test builds and had to get AOKP off it to start fresh. Odin would not recognize it at all. I mean I heard the PC ding and the drivers were correctly installed, only that yellow COM box wouldn't light up for me. I used Heimdall and once I reset the drivers for that, it flashed immediately for me.

[Touch CDMA General] Abyykinns:
Hi everyone..

I'm thinking of upgrading from my old htc vogue to something newer.. and faster, maybe with a keyboard as well?

What I had in mind was a htc touch pro or htc touch pro 2 maybe even the diamond (which I heard was laggy)

My current phone works fine but runs android slowly and also crashes.

I have the boost mobile service right now and is what I wish to stick with..

Is it worth the upgrade or should I stick with the vogue?

And are these phones any good or are there others that you'd like to recommend to me.

I'd appreciate all the advice you give me just place me in the right path.

What I really want is

Good graphics

Better speed

Good camera 3 mp and up (I must say the htc vogue camera sucks big time..)

Something easier to text on

Larger screen

Thanks a bunch!

And sorry if its in the wrong area I've been searching around trying to figure out where to place this.
[Touch CDMA General] daveribs:
The HTC Dream is a pretty nice phone! Also Xperia phones are really good for the camera, speed and usability. The slide out keyboard is slick on those phones. If you really want a HTC phone with a keyboard, I'd recommend an HTC Dream or Touch Pro2. If you're open to other brands, take a look at Sony's phones.
[Touch CDMA General] Abyykinns:
Yeah but I have sprint/boostmobile.. So sticking with a cdma phone I love the tp2 but hate the price I kind of like the tp1 but its kind of thick.. and the price isnt amazing either.. But I really need a new phone..

I heard pros and cons for the tp2 too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsune_snake:
allright I'm kinda new at the whole android scene (first post, hello btw)

Okay I tried to flash a new lockscreen unto my rooted stock éclair and a Music Mod. Reboot and I get into a bootloop, no big deal I open recovery and I was gonna flash back my nand but then I decided to be bold and adventurous and try to flash a custom rom with a new radio instead of my back up. I first flashed the radio, rebooted after, took me back to the recovery with the usual ''formatting cache...'' I rebooted again, accessed Hboot (checked radio) but when I tried to access recovery to flash my rom, BOOM! stalling HTC logo. I removed the battery tried again (down to my 3rd try now) and it keeps taking me to the HTC logo.

I can access Hboot, Fastboot and that's about it -__-

I'm running a windows 7 PC if that can be prooved useful...

Thanks in advance

I'm using bettercut, and I can get other things to work, I just think I'm selecting the wrong camera from the "Activities" list.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v_lestat:
as the topic states, is there anything to read the current system voltages on our evo's?

My goal is to investigate what the system is doing when using/not using things such as HAVS type kernels or the underclocking kernel vs. stock kernels.

i have yet to get the battery life from any of them as i have with the stock odex roms. not even deodex roms give me as good of battery life.. wierd so i need to find a way to check voltages without having to tear apart the internals of my phone and use a meter.

if we can monitor cpu speeds and supposedly adjust voltages with just a kernal modification then how do we monitor those changes?... infact how does anyone monitor those changes

I've have been without my usb cover for months now and I'm used to it at this point. I've looked all over and unless you're going to buy a full new housing and pay all that money for a simple plastic flap, you can't find it anywhere by itself. I've contacted sony and they said they don't make/have that cover as a replacement part, so if you want a new one, you have to send in the whole phone for repair and pay for it, so just get used to it.

In the event that you do find it somehow/somewhere, please update us.

Heres some i've made to better fit our screens. I also included PSD's of both icon types with all the images I used.

Download

Note: They come out slightly fuzzy (you can see the fonts) and thats the fault of Desktop Visualizer. Some say there is a work-around using the (Large) widget and resizing down an image with larger dimensions, however i've tried and cannot get them to line up correctly as these do. However, I think it looks good enough for daily use.

Use Desktop Visualizer(large) for the widgets, then resize them down to the desired size.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] andyriot:
@raymond4 - No it is a zip file of icons that you use with Desktop Visualizer.

@jasonevil - While yours are sharper, they do not align correctly. We need to figure out the best of both worlds.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jasonevil:
hmm...didn't notice that before, you can't tell it when you view the actual phone.

i'll probably have to go through the apk's code to see exactly what each widget resizes the images to, to get it exactly right, now this is going to bother me lol

anyone got a copy of the apk, for some reason i couldn't pull it earlier :/
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jasonevil:
i did the images double the sizes of what you'd need so that when you resize down, they will stay sharp and not have blur. using dvr's large widget and resizing them down to either 3x1, 1x2 etc....depending on what image you are using...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jerry43812:
If you send me the icons, regardless what size, I will resize them and keep them as sharp as can be :) email me using the contact form on my site in my sig, attach your icons in a zip.

Using a CIFS mount should allow you to access any file on a network drive via a virtual folder from any application.

(i.e. streaming video anybody )

Here are some references:

hxxp://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/browse-your-computer-from-android-9292/

hxxp://forum.sdx-developers.com/android-1-5-development/enabling-cifs-for-network-share-mounting-in-the-kernel/

Looks like someone has gotten this to work via an app (CIFS Manager) as well :

hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756158

It seems that it works only for on an HTC EVO with kernel version 2.6.32 or other devices with the cifs.ko module .

The Aria has kernel version 2.6.29 and no cifs.ko

Since have now experience at all with kernel hacks and not a techie. How does one go about getting this to work or compiling the correct modules for the Aria ?

BTW the kernel source for HTC Aria version 2.6.29 has been released here :

hxxp://developer.htc.com/

Thanks in advance
[HTC Aria General] Gene Poole:
I assume you have a linux system.

Download the kernel source.

Get it from from your htc link above(http://developer.htc.com/) and unpack it (I use /usr/src as a base so I end up with /usr/src/liberty-2.6.29-21f066a6/).

Get a .config file for your kernel.

You can get this from your phone with `adb shell':

# zcat /proc/config.gz > /sdcard/config

now copy this off your sdcard and put it into your kernel source directory (/usr/src/liberty-2.6.29-21f066a6/) as ".config" and run:

$ make oldconfig

this will configure the kernel source to the same config as the one on your phone. You can now run "make menuconfig" and change what you need in the kernel configuration.

Get a toolchain for ARM.

I use the one distributed with the android NDK:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html

Again, I unpack this in /usr/src so I have /usr/src/android-ndk-r4b/

Setup your environment for the ARM toolchain

You'll need to tell the system where the compiler tools are located. Create a file called android-cross.env and add these lines to it:

CROSS=/usr/src/android-ndk-r4b/build/prebuilt/linux-x86/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-

AS=${CROSS}as
LD=${CROSS}ld
CC=${CROSS}gcc
DEPEND_CC=${CROSS}gcc
CPP="${CROSS}cpp -E"
AR=${CROSS}ar
NM=${CROSS}nm
STRIP=${CROSS}strip
OBJCOPY=${CROSS}objcopy
OBJDUMP=${CROSS}objdump
RANLIB=${CROSS}ranlib
LINKER=${CROSS}g++
MAKELIB=${CROSS}ar-rcus
export AS LD CC CPP AR NM STRIP OBJCOPY OBJDUMP RANLIB MAKELIB LINKER
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/src/android-ndk-r4b/build/prebuilt/linux-x86/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/

now you can "source" this file to set your environment. I do this and make in one step using the bash () operator to avoid polluting my environment:

$ (source android-cross.env ; make )

If all goes well, you'll have a kernel in arch/arm/boot/zImage

Now you can start hacking.

Edit:

See this thread for how to unpack/repack boot.img when you're ready to put the new kernel on your phone:

Since I'm a newbie the process of how the module (cifs.ko) is created module in the first place is still a mystery \: ( .
