[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svenskamerican:
Hey guys!

So I've had my Vibrant for about a month now. I'm not sure exactly when it started, but I can't consistently download from Market or download attachments from my email (gmail). When I try downloading from market it says "download unsuccessful" and when I try downloading attachments, it tells me that an SD card is required.

I've tried pretty much everything except factory resetting. I've looked around and it seems like a rather common issue, although I can't find much reference to the SD card problem. By the way, I have an SD card in my phone. The phone finds it and everything. I've tried plugging it into my laptop and it works fine, so it can't be the SD card.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
If you go to settings then sd card and phone storage do you have any available space under phone storage or application storage? Also stop saying unacceptable, we didn't sell you the phone.

Also the phone says sd card when it means internal storage usually and sd when it means external storage.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disturkis4u:
I sae this on someone else's phone. For the market downloads issue, go to settings > applications > manage > download manager (if you don't see this make sure you hit menu and filter ALL), then clear data.

This should fix it. Im not sure why this happens and I'm not sure if this will fix your problem with opening attachments. Please let me know if this works.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svenskamerican:
@Wild - Regardless of who sold me the phone, it is unacceptable in my humble opinion.

@Dist - Thanks. I'll check this and get back if it doesn't work :)

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me how (if possible) to downgrade back to 2.1 (JM5 or JM8) successfully as each time i try all i get on the first reboot is an error (cannot see error as to quick) which then reboots?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
And you didnt read the big explanation of how to do it in first posts in jm6 (not sure), jm7, jm8 and ji1 threads why?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DemolitionManHD:
Which post?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Ever heard of search function? Or at least look through 2-3 pages, its not that hard.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DemolitionManHD:
Not to be funny but looking through there is a number of post referring to this, thats why i ask which one you are referring to
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azuresystem:
yep. downgrade straight off the bat, JPC is the wicked error rom which raped yer efs
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Just page 2 (and when you started this thread - page one) contains 2 topics by the name:

Release: I9000XWJM8 - Multi CSC(s) Europe (and ji1 obviously) with deteiled instructions on how to install, downgrade and possible solutions to problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DemolitionManHD:
Is there a way without errors, if i could see the error as it reboots of screen to fast.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Woolios:
Oops. My bad please ignore
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azuresystem:
format the drive, i.e hardreset it before you reflash pull out yer sim n external SD etc

1 : hard reset

2 : DLmode

3 : flash yer rom

4 : recovery mode

5 : new hardreset

6 : start up yer rom

if you still keep getting errors i have no clue, only managed to get those while the sd still being in the phone and another partition mounted on the sd

best of luck and read the guides

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MoWa22:
JPH raped my EFS too. I had JPC doing it, fixed it by deleting /efs/nv*. Funny thing is, right after flashing JPH it had my normal nordic product code - but later it had changed to KOR. Very strange. I wonder if it might have happened when I rooted it? Well, anyway, be careful out there, check product code before up/downgrading.

FAQ:

Calkulin made a Recovery flashable version for PRI 1.77

CM6 does not show PRI version in about phone. This method will update the PRI.

Previous version hacks use a hex editor to modify the version number. This uses the real rcdata.img for version 1.77. The last rcdata.img file we had was 1.34 from the Eng RUU.

If 4G in your area is not *official*, the signal will come and go (connect/disconnect) no matter what PRI is being used.

[EVO 4G Android Development] fr0st420:
Says I'm on 1.40 still. I don't know if it due to me doing that hexedit hack a while back to make my phone look like it was running 1.40. Anyone know how to undo that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] arozer:
No. This is just a PRI update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] numus:
Toast and Myself have both tested this... I think toast is on CM6 and i am on 100% stock with Unrevoked S-off... All this is is a radio update (will not touch s-off)... It will not touch the System, Kernel or Data

Is it necessary to push with adb???

Where did the new PRI come from?

As soon as I got the phone in June, I got root access, those PC.img files i guess brought it to 1.34, Before rooting i didn't know what a PRI was so i did not check that b4 root o.O Either way, with 1.34 and this new 1.77 I have checksum 0000000 and the data/voice have been flawless for over 2 months now :D

If someone with the 1.40 ota update takes the plunge can you note what your pri check sum is prior to doing the 1.77 and then check what it is afterwards?
[EVO 4G Android Development] londawg314:
pri

i had 1.40.003 before and have 1.77.003 now if that helps.

my 3G seems the same. my 4G is faster and i am able to grab a usable signal in places i was not able to before here in NYC.
[EVO 4G Android Development] notasimpleway:
I was on 1.34 with a check sum of all zeros before flashing this. And after, I am still showing zeros.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scmobileman:
Usually I wait a little longer before doing updates but I went for this one. I did several speed tests before with the SpeedTest.net app and then again after. There is a sizable difference, I'm getting nearly twice the speed up and down and haven't moved and inch since running all of the test.

I have no idea if the upgrade is the reason for that but the numbers certainly are different.

BTW, my PRI checksum is now 00000000
[EVO 4G Android Development] lkillen:
Thanks. Flashed
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jason0071:
Flashed and now have 1. 77 checksum zeroed out. 4g connection tests via online sites give me almost 10mbps through browser, speed test app xtremelabs test the same, andtor torrent app pulled 350 meg file off demonoid in about 30mins via 4g. Seems to be doing fine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] arielb27:
I was at 1.34_3 and this worked fine.

Great thank you very much Joey.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
ok confirmed on 1.34 that the check sum is remaining the same or changing to 000000 which doesnt matter for 1.34

so some one with the ota to 1.40 needs to see if their check sum changes...I suspect it will
[EVO 4G Android Development] XxHxX leo:
Someone help me plz ...I did everything ..download the file rename as PC36IMG.zip copy to SD card turn off the phone bootloader and its says wrong image? What am I'm doing wrong
[EVO 4G Android Development] EliWay:
lol, those reporting better 4G speeds and signal: Hate to burst your bubble, but PRI has NOTHING to do with your four gees. Placebo effect anyone ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] onicrom:
after some testing... i see no difference in 4G... 3G speeds are actually a little slower (~7%) BUT latency is MUCH better gone from an avg of ~100ms to ~80ms.

bit on the fence with these results, lower latency is always better, but more throughput was kind of nice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jelive:
File could have not downloaded completely/corrupted somehow. Could start over downloading, renaming, etc. OR could just delete that PC36IMG.zip file off your SD card, download Calks Recovery Zip version on the 1st page put that on SD Card, go to recovery and do like any standard flash.

Jim
[EVO 4G Android Development] willy900wonka:
Has a faster feel. Lol

Just removed the PC36IMG.zip from the root of the sdcard.

New PRI has the affect of removing any lag in net access. Could all

[EVO 4G Android Development] mastermarc:
we have spotty 4g internet in cincinnati which as of recently was no longer allowing data transfer, but you could still get signal..

Either its a huge coincidence or this PRI update fixed my 4g, cause now it works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] willy900wonka:
Hmmm! No check sum. Probably wasn't even given an after thought while the file was being released. I like it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] novanosis85:
So you know for a fact what the PRI is for?
[EVO 4G Android Development] shortbus182:
At first glance, seems my 3g speeds actually lowered. But even with the lower speeds, I am now able to stream youtube hd with little buffering. Win.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
ok so it does change it to 0000000

not sure its a big deal since 1.34 had 0000000 as well
[EVO 4G Android Development] XxHxX leo:
Thank u it works
[EVO 4G Android Development] Taupakari:
My replacement Evo came with PRI 1.71 and this update changed the checksum to 0000000 as well.

So far I see no difference between 1.34, 1.40, 1.71, and 1.77. Connection speeds and bars are so variable it's impossible to get real signal quality data without diagnostic equipment.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Amanchik:
Updated fine to 1.77_003, after numerous unsuccessful attempts to upgrade from 1.34 to 1.40. Running on evofresh3.2.0.0. I did ran Speedtest.net application, and my speed increased from 3-4 hundred kbps to 1.3-1.5 mbps inside my apartment ;). Brooklyn, NY, Sheepsheadbay area...

pri

another note.. my phone shipped with 1.34.. under 1.34 my phone roamed with voice/data on verizons network when i traveled to random places.. under both 1.40 and 1.77 roaming on Verizon no longer works.. when i attempt to make a call i get a verizon recording saying unable to verify phone.. i called sprint and they verified that the standard everything data plan for the evo includes roaming support on verizons network for both voice and data. i opened a support ticket so they are looking into it.. i did not mention the pri update to them.. anyone else having roaming problems? as for the pri 4g.. i can definitely say that my phone picked up 4g service in nyc but it rarely actually worked and now it does.. so that is either a convenient coincidence or it fixed it.. a side note is that a client of mine picked up an evo this past Friday (9/17/10) from the sprint store. i helped her setup her corporate email via activesync she has PRI 1.71_003 so i'm really curious where 1.77 has come from.
[EVO 4G Android Development] goffmj:
I don't believe PRI affects 4G, though I could be very wrong. Regardless, if it does affect it, my 4G is working the same. No increase in signal or speeds. I do see a bit of a difference in 3G, though. A bit of a speed increase (from 1.1mbits to 1.8mbits in the same spot), latency is lower and I'm getting better signal in spots I used to get iffy coverage. Take it for what it is, depends on where you are, I suppose.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hecklbrg:

Edit: For some reason, my downloads appear to be about the same, but the DB's have increased from around 85-93 to 88-96. Also, the signal likes to randomly go up to 118, it wasn't doing this before with 1.34 or 1.40 =/
[EVO 4G Android Development] scmobileman:

[EVO 4G Android Development] splink7007:
Ok so just tried a ##786# like the previous fix and it indeed downgraded me back to 1.34.. I was hoping it would update me to 1.71 or 1.77 but it did not. After a few resets I finally got 1.40 with a good checksum back.Im hesitant to do this fix now since it doesn't give you a checksum.

Updated fine for me on fresh rom, netarchy kernel. didn't change my 3g, but I'm able to quickly get and hold a 4g signal sitting on the same couch where it would take forever to lock on before. I've tested this numerous times over the last month. Locked on immediately after this update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SITH16:
One drawback I have noticed is when I hit roam I lose my 3g all together. I have to set data roaming to sprint only. The result is I pop out of roam and get 3g back.

Still testing this to see if I drop 3g when I drop a sprint tower though.

A preface....I don't get great tower at home, but I usually get decent 3g.

Thank you.

Flashed it with no noticeable improvements or effects at all. Pri is in fact 1.77 but that's the only noticeable change.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
So I renamed thr file and placed on root of SD card, but phone does not find it in scan...any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] goffmj:
I mean, have you tried it? I personally got increased signal and speed for 3G. Your mileage may vary depending on location, but that's what the PRI relates to, as far as my understanding.
[EVO 4G Android Development] m4rk0358:
What is it renamed as?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gotshores:
Hmmmm

So I flashed the update and made it to 1.77. I decided to see if I could go back down to 1.40 (where i was previously), and did the ##786#, reset, flashed a stock rooted ROM. Sprint came up with the gathering info/hands free activation, and i still had 1.77. Not a big deal since i did notice some better 4g speeds, but i thought it might go back down to 1.40.
[EVO 4G Android Development] m4rk0358:
I have tried it and noticed no difference in speed.

To my understanding pri has to do with the phones interaction with towers. If the cell/4g towers around you have been updated you'll notice a difference over people in an area where the towers have not been updated.
