Ok i'm sure a lot of people know this but just for clarification, if you have voodoo lagfix installed - you need to DISABLE IT BEFORE FLASHING JI2 W ODIN! otherwise you will brick yourself hard... live and learn :o

edit: well I thought that was the problem, but now I go to flash through odin on a fresh install - BEFORE I even install voodoo, and it's hung up on modem.bin... I'm feeling kinda lost right now... maybe i'll just sleep on it and see if anyone has a suggestion?

edit2: ok I got it! what I did was unplug usb, power down, plug in usb, go into download mode and try flashing again. Apparently it just decided to work the second time. w00t!
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
1. u need to open Odin first.

2. then put ur phone into download mode.

3. next unplug and replug your phone.

4. Odin will see it. Flash away

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Daddy_617:
Ok Idk whats up but got jfd modem.bin ran a speed test got 19 mbps dl and 1.93 upload holy smokes lol I turned on gps
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
were u on wifi?
[Vibrant Android Development] Daddy_617:
Lmao damn should of known sorry guys wtf I was on wifi my xonnection sucks on 3g daym scrizz u ruined my cwlebration when I read your post :(
[Vibrant Android Development] g1flasher:
Thanks for the steps :) I tried everything last night but throwing the pc out the window. I'm going to try another pc tonight maybe with better luck. My problem lies with the pc showing my as an un recognized device when I'm in dl mode. Regardless of drivers and it will not let me install any. Odin only sees the phone when it's booted pc and odin do not recognize the phone once in dl mode errrrrrr
[Vibrant Android Development] Daddy_617:
ok just to confirm would i have to undo the voodo lag fix for j12 modem? cuz it keeps getting stuck

EDIT: Ok nvm got it had to try a few times thanks Eugene for posting this! I'm determined to get over 1 mbps lol

UPDATE: JFD is better for me with J12 I can only get 300 to 400kbps with JFD at least I can get up to 6 to 700kbps

on every pc that you connect your phone, you are going to need the samsung drivers,.
[Vibrant Android Development] raduque:
Is the modem.bin the reason "phone-as-modem" tethering is broken on JI2?
[Vibrant Android Development] g1flasher:
understood. Maybe I'm working with a corrupt download of the drivers?? That's the reason I'm starting fresh tonight with a diff pc and fresh download of drivers
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
tethering works fine on JI2.

what are you talking about?

go to the MobileAP thread and flash the correct file for JI2 ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] raduque:
I need wired tethering to use it with a desktop. I was using the instructions from the "Howto Tether in Win7 with no apps", where you create a DUN connection using the phone as a modem. This no longer works for me in JI2, I get a "Success" when I query the modem under diagnostics, but when I try to dial, I get "unable to connect to network" and my data connection dies completely until I reboot the phone.

Not everybody cares about wifi tethering. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
have u tried using Kies?
[Vibrant Android Development] raduque:
Pfft, Kies doesn't even know my phone exists.

have u installed the drivers from here?:

JFD/whatever had poor data connectivity. I agree with that 100%. I'm on JI4 from JI2 and data transitions between 2G and 3G are handled far better. No difference in speed either.

It's a wireless network, you're not the only one on it making calls, torrenting files or checking your email
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Download EasyTether from the market then..
[Vibrant Android Development] distortedloop:
You do or don't need to load pit every time? Your post seems to contradict itself on either side of the .. ;)

My experience with an i9000 is that it's not necessary to flash the pit unless you're repartitioning.

Richthofen, the primary source for leaked i9k firmwares lately, and an apparent Odin expert also is very adamant about always flashing pit by itself only, and not including pit or repartition when flashing pda/modem/csc.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
It up to you, but if you have a bad Flash with odin & there is not Pit loaded with it, well there goes your mapping...
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
how is he contradicting himself?

he said u need it everytime, and if u already have it, you don't have to download it again.

;)

and just because someone else said something, that does not make YOU the expert

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] ytj87:
So is there a JI4 modem.bin? Or in JI4 is the modem.bin the same as JI2's?
[Vibrant Android Development] distortedloop:
He said - "you need to load 512 pit everytime.. if you have it alread then your good" - which sounded to me like on one side of the ".." in his comment that he was saying you need to use it ("you need to load 512 pit everytime") and on the other side that if you already were on it, you didn't have to ("if you have it alread then your good").

The way I understood what he wrote, it seemed self-contradicting, which is why I asked him a question for clarification. Why does that motivate you to chime in with no value added bull? Eugene didn't seem to take issue with, why should you?

Please show me where I claimed to be THE expert.

I'm not sure how citing a well-respected source on another model, who is clearly closely connected to Samsung, if not a Samsung employee outright, presents as me trying to represent myself as the expert.

I asked a question for clarification, then gave what my experience has been, for context, and cited the source for why I hold my current opinion.

You really read a whole lot more into my post than was there... :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] raduque:
Yes, those are the ones I have installed.

To the guy who said "easytether", dude... no apps. I don't want anything extra running on my phone. But thanks anyway.
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
I'm feeling a bit stupid here for some reason.

I was running Vibrant7 and really liked it.

I jumped over to TouchWiz Update3 and following others figured I should flash the new modem to get rid of the Cell Standby problem.

Came here and I flashed JI2 Modem.bin ODIN File ( Newest Leak )

I used the pit file and used the Modem file in the pda slot.

AFter I flashed my Signal Strengh is 1600-2300 dBm. So I'm guessing something isn't right so I tried to flash back to the stock BaseBand using JDF Modem.bin ODIN File from this thread. Well I still have the same Signal Strength.

Either I'm flashing via Odin wrong or I'm flashing the wrong files. Can any of you nice folks throw me a bone here because I'm starting to feel a bit stupid. Id either like to go back to the stock BaseBand and run Vibrant7 or TouchWiz Update3 and flash the correct file. LOL

After I did this I got lots of random soft reboots even after doing a nan restore had to do a fresh install
[Vibrant Android Development] widto08:
Is anyone else having this problem...

I don't know for sure what/which action is causing this, here's what I did...

Odin ji2 modem.bin, CW mobileAP for ji2, CW JAC's new oc/uv kernel w/color fix running on Stock FW w/setcpu v2.03 on conservative OC'd to 1200 MHZ.

I didn't go through all the settings after each install to see if there were any FC's.

Now what is happening is I get FC's whenever I try to adjust Ringer Volume, Vibration Intensity, and Brightness.

I've deleted all the contents in /data/dalvik-cache using Root Explorer and rebooted to re-propagate dalvik, ran Fix Permissions in CW and rebooted. Doing these steps usually fixes any FC's that I might experience 95% of the time but the FC's persists.

I'm averaging 9.876 on linpack and my phone is running really smooth, best its ran since I got it.

I'd really hate to revert everything back to get this to go away.

Is there something else I could try to fix this?

EDIT: reverted back to original jfd modem problem still persists.

EDIT EDIT: reverted back to jfd mobileAP problem solved.

Another thing I noticed is when my phone was in the original/rooted stock form my speed test results gave me a max speed of ~4300kbs. With ji2 modem etc. I got results in the ~5500kbs range. After reverting back I now get ~6200kbs on speed test!!!

Doesn't make any sense to me but I'll take the extra speed :D
[Vibrant Android Development] kponti:
First attempt at using ODIN and now my phone is completely dead! Wont even power on

Loaded everything at instructed, got an open port, initialized the setup, write fail notification in odin and then phone went dead. Won't even turn on
[Vibrant Android Development] kponti:
Its alive again

Ok disconnected the phone, went back into download mode, redid the modem flash and viola, wrote it successfully.

PS: My speeds haven't changed significantly but on average is much better connectivity when I do a survey of speeds around my place (compared to my average with the stock modem file)

PPS: Odin3 v1.3 is what nearly bricked my phone

I have a rooted stock Vibrant with the new JI6 update that tmobile rolled out a few days ago. I want to flash the JI2 modem so I can get better battery life. Is it safe to do so? and if tmobile comes out with another update in the future, will it be safe to update or will I have to flash another modem to get back to stock? If so, which modem should I flah back then? sorry for newbie question...
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
Yes, It is safe to flash the JI2 Modem.

If you ever need to go back, Just flash the JI6 modem

;)

that's it
[Vibrant Android Development] shehrammajid:
thanks a million!
[Vibrant Android Development] tonie972:
Do I flash all three of these files or just the JI2?

[Vibrant Android Development] dcchristopher:
For what it's worth, in my experience (in the Dallas area), T-mobile seems to have two primary high speed data modes ... one can take my data speeds up to 4M/2.5M and the other is more like 2M/512K. The latter is especially obvious because I can see they're throttling the upload speed. It will try to exceed 512 and then drop down to 400K and very slowly inch up to the low 500s. It feels like two very different networks and there's a very palpable switch between the two where the data connection resets itself. Perhaps it's related to their HSPA+ network, perhaps not. I remember there was one ROM out there (Eugene's original attempt at Froyo, JP3, maybe?) where the H symbol would come on (to differentiate from "regular 3G") and I believe that denoted HSPA/+. That's the one the yielded the best speeds. The other was just showing 3G and that just may be UMTS/GSM/whatever. To be clear, I make no certain claims as to the available networks, their network protocol and speeds. I'm just saying, there are at least two very distinct high speed data modes.

So, before we declare modem winners, do realize that the results you're seeing could be attributed to the high speed data mode your phone has locked onto.

As always, I am enthralled by Eugene's continued innovation and hard work. Thank you, kind sir! I eagerly await a Froyo build with a working GPS. As I have yet to experience a truly working GPS on the Vibrant, I still declare your work to be the best out there! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] elijahblake:
Quick question.. Where do you pull the Factory modem.bin?

is it:

dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096

because when i pull it from here on the galaxy S showcase it's only 512KB but the Mesmerize which is VERY similar is 15,000KB

Am i pulling from the wrong place?

I'm trying to create a factory ODIN flash since We're the only ones without one...

Thanks in Advance!!

So which rom do you guys recommend? It looks like bionix is nice because it keepes touchwiz, but eugine i hear is really good. Do any of these have 2.2? And what is the hybrid for eugines about?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex530:
That's up to you to figure out. Everybody has different tastes. Try em out and keep the one your cool with

Yea i guess il do that, im just afraid of bricking my phone.... I read alot of stories here about this... Any suggestions?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digital_Warrior:
Ya dont brick it. Read the instructions completely before you start.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystycs:
Yea ofcourse, right now im thinking of just rooting.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4ylr:
1) Download ROM Manager (ClockWork Recovery) from the market.

2) Flash Clock Work Recovery

2b) Make a backup

3) Pick a ROM from the BIBLE in the dev section listed under the Clock Work section

4) Download it and move it to the root of the SD card

5) Boot into recovery and Install a ROM from SD

Pretty straight forward if you read thoroughly :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystycs:
I actually just rooted my phone! My first step on track hahaha. Ill look into the other stuff next, perhaps wait till 2.2 roms are made. Im installing mobile ap right now, or at least figuring it out.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_bot:
from experience i can only comment on eugenes roms. I havent tried bionix.

Eugene if you want something lightly themed with tweaks and TW Launcher go with Eugene's Vibrant9 found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743769

If you want something more close to the "vanilla" android which means you wont have samsungs TW stuff go with his hybrid rom here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773018

He did also release a franken-twiz rom here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=784142

for me the franken-twiz rom is too unstable, and some things didn't work for me, like widgets, but it also has some AWESOME features, and is also based on the latest "leaked" firmware JI2.

I use his Vibrant9 with JAC's OCv4 Kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=744655) and i LOVE it. very snappy and stable. There is also the "rom bible" here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=771111 with tons of information, you want to stick with the roms that are "flash-able .zips" IMO

As far as bricking your phone, the vibrant is very hard to fully brick, not saying it is impossible, but its hard, just read through the directions a few times and make sure you are understanding. And like ALex530 said it is up to you to find what you like, that is the beauty of Android.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kizer:
I personally like Vibrant7 because well I do. ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikey98277:
And if you want more battery life, and the touchwiz is not all that great to you, Hybrid R3 makes my battery last on average double than it did with stock or any of Eugene's other ROMs(which i have tried them all, and they all have good points with the exception of the frankin twiz, which he tweeted that he was not going to fix and just base it off a newer leak because of the issues), it basically removes allot of bloat ware(stuff that isn't needed to run the phone) and in return it makes allot less stuff running in the the background, which makes the battery last much longer. You can add stuff back into it, what I use is the TW Hybrid v3, and then I add the Sims and avatar movie back into it. But I liked both of those.

Most importantly if you are not comfortable with android I would stick to flash-able ROMs, the ones that require Odin can cause you problems if you dont know what you are doing. As long as you make a backup of your current ROM, if the flash goes wrong you can just use a Nandroid to restore and try again. I personally have flashed my Vibrant probably 60 times, but I am always trying the new thing, but lately I just use it for a day or so and then I end up going back to the Hybrid build because of the battery Life.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystycs:
Well i got the whole thing down, i tried all the roms, but honestly there was nothing i really liked or found to my interest. Alot of the skins werent to my liking although i did like Frankin-Twiz, but i found Bionix to be a tad bit ugly in terms of design. Dunno i might wait till 2.2 and see what roms come out then. For now ill just probably stay rooted. I may try the roms out again and look into them more in detail.

I like the TWiz design alot, kinda grew attatched to it, and bionix made me hate it haha. Frankin wasnt bad though. Gotta just try em again.

Edit: Also Hybrid wasn't that bad either, but the TW launcher was still there? Is this to be deleted or should i just be recommended to make the other one my default?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikey98277:
Well I use ADW just for the fact it lets you have two quick launch buttons on the bottom of each screen on each side of the dock button and place which ever short cuts you want there, I put my phone and camera, Kinda like the TW but has 4 , and ADW has the launch dock button and 2 to equal 3 that one gives you allot of options also for themes that are free from the market. Also you can get a program called "Home Switcher" that allows you to change your default really easy and you can try them all. There is pro launcher, which is good too i just like having the quick launch options.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_bot:
Try LauncherPro, I run that on my wifes MT3G it is quick and FULLY customizable, kinda has the TW feel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQkVPipeO8k

On a modified boot image for Acer Liquid e froyo: //android.modaco.com/content/acer-liquid-liquid-modaco-com/317685/apps2sd-on-froyo/, the ext of my 16Gb class 2 sd is getting mounted on boot, however when I place my 8Gb class 6 sd, its ext does not mount on boot.

Mind you, They were formatted the same way, and same way they can be reached: /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd ext2 rw,errors=continue 0 0

I had to prove the 8Gb sd by manually mounting it and it mounted, but just not on boot.

Hello

I am thinking of buying a Verizon/Sprint hybrid phone (like Samsung saga), get it unlocked and use it on a regular GSM network in Ireland. Would it be possible to buy a phone with a bad esn and get it unlocked to work on a GSM?

Thank you

After a few hours reading i think that if the Esn is bad, but the imei is okay you will be able to use it with a sim card. If you can carrier unlock the phone of course

If you go back and fully read the thread in which you got the Rom from you will probably see a "gapps" or google apps download. Flash that, and you shall have all you need.

I have no idea what this will do to people that don't have the new update. Please install with extreme caution.

I deleted this in my Bloatware killing craze a few days ago. I decided I wanted to try it again after I found out about Sammy's little coming out party today. I'm assuming that some of the other's who updated to JI2 might have done the same thing. I searched the threads and didn't see that anyone pushed this yet. If this is a duplicate, please delete. This is my first "push post", so if there are any other issues please delete.

Stick on SD card, find it with "files" and install the .APK. Once again, I have no idea what this will do to Original firmware.

Also, I read somewhere that the movies you buy/rent might not work. LOL, hey but it's fun to watch the previews. If someone has purchased or rented a movie let us know.
