I'll definitely give away $50 bucks for the developer(s) that accomplish this! 2.2 on my xperia would be so wonderful!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ddewbofh:
Won't work, not in a way we could use dontions anyway. The bootloader is locked becuse of DRM and other legal reasons and I seriously doubt anyone with the stuff we need would risk breaking the NDA they had to sign to work on it. The lawsuit they'd be slapped with would be massive and even a hundred times what we're able to pledge wouldn't be able to sort that out.

Money is tracable, especially online donations. Something like a wikileaks submission could work, anonymously providing the docs but then who would get the cash? :)

[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
So apparently sprint thinks this is the iphone and we want our traffic filtered and/or proxied. This causes skyfire not to work with its flash video feature (and possibly other video/streaming apps, like a radio app I tried). But you can fix it and here's how (credit goes to sdx thread for the moment, will try and post link when back at pc):

##3282#

Multimedia

Input your msl (find it using adb command getprop, look for msl in readout)

Change rtsp proxy to 0.0.0.0 and rtsp proxy port to 0

Enjoy your unfiltered traffic!

Here is that link I mentioned, all credit goes to CHIBUCKS at SDX-Developers:

[Epic 4G General] Mr.Muscles:
Read the thread on the other site and I'd love to have this ability on my phone. The only problem I'm running into is where do i get the adb program from.
[Epic 4G General] id_twin:
Skyfire seems to work just fine playing video for me. Every site I've gone too the video feature has worked w/o this fix.
[Epic 4G General] DotMpeg:
I take it you need root for this?

[Epic 4G General] TheMostToys:
Root is not needed to make this change.
[Epic 4G General] Isira:
Skyfire never worked for me prior to the fix. I always thought Skyfire was broken, turns out it was because of the server setting. Now Skyfire videos work fine.
[Epic 4G General] Mr.Muscles:
okay do we set every setting to the 0.0.0.0 and port to 0, which ones.
[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
Every value to all 0's. The entire settings page (proxy servers) are unnecessary. They are essentially "middle-men" between you and the internet that are unnecessary (unless you're sprint and you want to pick and choose what content your subscribers can see). All values under multimedia should be all 0's (0.0.0.0's for ip addresses, 0 for port). Hope you guys enjoy the service you're paying $10 extra for that SHOULD have worked out of the box.

Now lets hope some devs can sort out the upload issue that is obvious sprint has no intention on fixing as it seems almost guaranteed to be intentional, given that Sprint now has a record of trying to give us less service for our dollar, despite the network being able to support it...
[Epic 4G General] DotMpeg:
Thanks for the fix. For once I was able to look at flash video with skyfire. Still skyfire doesn't recognize video on Veoh while Vevo still gave errors but its something till we get 2.2 and flash.

Yeah, my skyfire works great....just wish they would friggin add a fast forward so you can skip back to where you where after a phone call or something.
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
um how do you use connect bot. i dont even know how to connect to a host?

nvm figured it out 3seconds later
[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
1) get it in the market

2) open it, tap where it says "ssh" or "telnet" and select "local" from the drop down

3) type anything in the box to the right to name it

4) type getprop and look for your msl in the readout

5) steal underpants

6) Profit
[Epic 4G General] Masterface7:
Hi so what do I do it I type in getprop, get a screenfull of data and nowhere on it does it say [ril.msl] 6-digit number. Is there a way i can scroll or search for text.

edit: I found the number but I still wanna know if there is a way to scroll or search

edit2: does this fix iheartradio?
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
Thanks for the fix. Uploads are fixed as of DI18 as you most likely know by now.
[Epic 4G General] Masterface7:
Yes I am on version 1.5 and it is mostly working
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
See this is the kind of thing the forums are for. I installed the fix and now my phone seems to be faster. Anyone else notice that?
[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
I haven't noticed a speed difference myself, but I did my fix before the di18 update, so maybe its more pronounced 'before and after' after the di18. Just glad people are enjoying the fix (but more glad that I thwarted Sprint's attempt to stop people from getting the most out of the bandwidth they've paid for ;) )
[Epic 4G General] pissinguoff247:
I keep having this weird problem with skyfire video even after applying this fix. I'll head over to southparkstudios with my uastring set to desktop using my home wifi connection, and when I try to play a video it cuts out every few seconds and seems like it's rebuffering. Anyone have any suggestions?

The weird thing is that it was working the first time I used it, but I got a phone call while watching that first time and it's never been the same. I've tried un/reinstalling it.
[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
I also noticed this last night trying to play south park. Bandwidth to phone is fine, I can play daily show/colbert just fine. My guess is its some new method of streaming (still flash obviously,but something's changed) that causes issues with skyfires servers that play the file locally and then stream to us. Its possible this is intentional (like hulu) but my guess is not, because it will play, but stutters to the point of being unwatchable. Long story short, I'm 90% sure its on skyfire/southparkstudio's end, not the phone. Also hoping for a fix, if anyone else has any info I'd be happy to hear it.
[Epic 4G General] blastboi:
its not working for me

i cant get it to work... i set everything up but when i click on a video it exits with no warning... im on anivide.com:(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamathrasher:
Hey guys, I just need to know how far up **** creek without a paddle I am and how I got here. I had a stock JF6, a friend told me to root with unleash the beast so I did. Been running great and aside from using metamorph to install a few swype themes and nav bar themes, it was stock. I had managed to learn a bit and heard clockwork mod was a great thing, and was making backups regularly.

Well since everything was going so well, I decided to dig deeper and install cognition 2.1. Things went fine, until I got to first boot, then I realized all my stuff was gone, should have known and me being changed my mind. So I went and booted into recovery, and tried to restore my most recent backup, well of course it failed when it came to data because cognition had formatted it.

Well after a lot of formatting data/cache, I tried to install the cognition 2.1.zip, got an error message.. Failed to install. After rebooting I was stuck in the att white screen boot loop. So once again formatted data, and this time I ran update.zip(unleash the beast).

HERES my question, now I seem to have some kind of hybrid, on first boot of cognition I got the custom boot sounds and wallpaper. Nothing now, however my baseband is now JH7, and it says something about voodoo lag fix. But still says 'beast .... Teaser' for system info.

I'm so confused, what's the best way for me to get a stable version of cognition running? Ill just install all my data, I just wabt to know exactly what my phone is running.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdotbrucato:
Best bet is to flash back to JF6, root, install ROM Manager, and load Cognition from that.

Also, that question its better suited for q&a, not the dev forum
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamathrasher:
Sorry, I just mainly check here and the themes and apps section.. Completely forgot about the other ones.

So if I wanted to flash back to jf6.. Would I just get one of these stock dumps floating around and flash it? Or is there a better way?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sportsguy15:
Use the Odin One Click that's posted at the top of this forum. It will flash you back to stock in a matter of seconds.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamathrasher:
THANK YOU.

this is what I needed to know. So basically, odin one click, use any method to root (probably just use a one-click this time), and then download rom manager and install cognition from clockworkmod? and thats all it would take?

Much easier then what I had in mind.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Yep, that's all you need to do. I've started doing that any time I flash a new rom, ie, One-click to stock, root, rom manager, flash new rom.

I have had similar issues when I try to flash over an existing rom, plus it is nice to start with a fresh rom, no bugs.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajendra82:
Data on ext4 survives an Odin flash, so if you are on voodoo, it's a bit more involved than just flashing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamathrasher:
I saw something like this in the Cognition thread, about creating a file called "disable-lagfix" or something and placing it on the root of the sd. Is that the extra step you are referring too, and if so, I definitely need to do this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajendra82:
Yes. That's the correct method to put /data back on RFS. Once you have created the file and rebooted, a robotic lady will inform you that the /data is being converted. Once this boot finishes, you are at a point where Odin or Clockwork will be able to help you. When /data is in ext4 format, the other programs don't recognize it, and don't work properly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamathrasher:
just for future reference, what type of data are you talking about here? I have no data I'd like to keep at this point, after I bricked my phone last night, I basically tried everything in clockworkmod until I got it back to a workable state so I'd have a phone to use today at work. How am I supposed to make it through a work day without being able to text? its impossible. haha.

So if I have no data I desire to keep, is this necessary or is this a different type of data, important data for the system?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajendra82:
If you noticed in my post I did not say data but /data. There is a difference.

On your Captivate there is a total of 16 GB of internal memory. The memory is partitioned into several block devices. One of these partitions is mmblk0p4, which once booted, is mounted to /data. This directory stores your apps installed from market, your user information, your call log, your text messages, and so on. It has to be working for your phone to boot up properly. Although /data looks like a directory, since it is a link to an actual device, it can be on its own file system which is different than other devices mounted to other directories. On a default Captivate (i.e., before you install Cognition, which includes a choice of two voodoo lagfix kernels) the block device mmblk0p4, mounted as /data is formatted in a proprietary Samsung RFS file system, which is too slow. When you install the voodoo kernel, on first boot, it formats the device in a much faster ext4 file system if there is no file or folder called disable-lagfix in /sdcard/voodoo, thus severely reducing the lag. The problem is that the default kernel, the recovery mode kernel, and the Odin flasher program understand how to deal with this device formatted in RFS. If your block device is in ext4 and you restore the system through Odin, you will end up with Odin not wiping off the contents of /data, which is what you actually wanted. I am not sure if you end up with a working /data device in RFS and a chunk of unused ext4 information, or a kernel not understanding /data in ext4 and hanging. If you are in this state, your best bet is to flash on a voodoo kernel through Odin, which will then understand the ext4 /data. Once the voodoo kernel boots, you then create the disable-lagfix file and reboot, to get /data back in RFS. Then you go into download mode, and wipe the /data on RFS with Odin.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbishi:
I've always preferred the AmonRA recovery port personally, though some people will recommend ClockworkMod as well. Both can be flashed permanently through unrevoked so there's no need to keep a zip file on the SD card all the time. Why not try both of them out and decide for yourself? They're both pretty equal :)

Unrevoked : http://unrevoked.com/recovery/ (installs ClockworkMod recovery by default but you can choose what you want before plugging the phone in)

AmonRA recovery : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=721792

I've also seen some recoveries with PSFreedom built in but I guess that's only useful if you've got a PS3.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milkynex:
mrbishi

Thanks for your reply!

You know, actually, I already used RA and Clockworkmod.

Right now I prefer RA, cause Clockwork's doesn't have proper implementation to work with ext-file system. So... it's seems to me that RA is more complex.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbishi:
Clockwork does a bit more when used with ROM Manager I think. All depends on if you want to do things within Android or the old skool way :P

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demiurgic:
Launch odin select the corresponding files then plug phone in to computer and put in download mode. When usb indicator on the top of odin lights up your good to go. To get into download mode I remove the sim card, sd card and the battery. I put the battery back in hold the vol up and down and then plug the usb in.

Search for the stock rom thread to get the odin files. There should be directions in there and in the bible thread as well.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demiurgic:
Also if you haven't already you should install the android sdk for mac. Just google it
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smashmouth:
You have a vibrant its 99% unbrickable. Odin is your first problem. Recovery mode. Clear cache. Wipe user data. Reboot phone. Just a question why the hell are ppl still using Odin... makes me laugh.. I'm currently runny de-odexed 1.2ghz .. 2530 quadrant score my vibrant is so sexy I want to hump it. .. LOL
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kryptyx:
Cool story, bro. My 1.2ghz is sitting at 2743 quadrant guess I'm cooler than you. (Pst Quadrant dont mean anything).

ANYWAY back on topic, Since your on a mac you would need to run ODIN over parallels unless there is a mac version that I'm unaware of. Google parallels for mac, it allows you to run windows based programs on a mac. Then look at the ODIN threads in the bible stickied in this forum. Follow the instructions carefully and you'll be fine.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smashmouth:
LOL.. hope it works out.. hate to see an awesome phone become a paper weight.

Gotta say xda is awesome
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demiurgic:
I'm guessing he tried to flash voodoo thru the update.zip method so unless he can push the stock update or what have you. Using recovery will only keep trying to re-install voodoo I'm guessing. So the best way to fix it is odin.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skateral271:
Alright another super newb question, can I have a link to the android sdk for Mac and how EXACTLY do I install it? Idk how lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lp1527:
Wow, a LOT of misinformation here

First of all, you CANNOT run ODIN on Mac.

You CANNOT use ODIN via Parallels on Mac. You can install it and run it, but it will NOT recognize your Vibrant in Download mode which is necessary. I am not guessing, I know for a fact- I tried intensely for 3 days before learning that it's just not possible. And Parallels is a program that simulates a Windows machine on your Mac.

You COULD use ODIN on your Mac only if you run Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp. It's not a super-easy process if you aren't tech savvy, you also need to purchase (or otherwise obtain) a full version of Windows, so you're better off finding a real Windows computer. In case you're curious, additional info on Boot Camp http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

This poster = IDIOT. Wow, you're Quadrant score is so useful to know, very helpful for this guy, and I'm sure there are many who read your contribution and had to sit down in AWE to take in just how cool you and your Quadrant score are. Laughing because of ODIN? Well, Slick, it's gonna be necessary for this guy (and myself) to save our phones. Recovery> wipe data> wipe cache WILL NOT WORK at this point. Yes, the Vibrant is close to unbrickable- but not completely immune. Besides, this guy's Vibrant is soft-bricked, as is mine. Yes, it can happen, and yes, you need ODIN via true windows to fix. Go away and run some Quadrant tests.

Once you get in front of a Windows machine, here is a great step-by-step on how to fix your phone via ODIN http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475 I haven't done it yet, will be later today once I get in front of WIndows.

Android SDK and ADB will not help you at this point either, although they're great to learn for future Android fun.

Good luck- I know first hand how frustrating this is.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skateral271:
ok :( so is there ANY other way i can get this vibrant to boot? via adb or ANYTHING???
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demiurgic:
Easy way ....find a friend with windows

sorry about odin not working with a mac. Thought android sdk might load some usb drivers for you...saw that somewhere I think. However, according to lp1527 seems you will need windows or linux. Maybe you could try bootcamp with ubuntu since thats free.

Going out on limb but maybe using adb to remove the update.zip and replacing it with the stock update.zip and flashing that through recovery might work? or try to push the voodoo uninstall .txt first and see if does anything.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mightykc:
I had this same exact problem with mine. Use Odin (refer to Bible section if needed). Odin is very easy to use. Here's what you do:

1. Open Odin v.1.3

2. Download stock Odin stock firmware. This link is for the JI2 leaked release. if you want original JFD then do a search. This link has both the .tar ROM and 512 Pit file: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=780935

3. In Odin click on PIT button and open 512 pit file.

4. With your phone powered off and unplugged from pc, hold in both volume keys and then plug in the usb cord (whioch is already connected to your pc). After a few seconds your phone is in download mode (bright yellow on screen)

5. Check to make sure Odin has detected your phone by verify it has populated the port setting (towards the top in yellow) refer to Odin link in Bible page if unsure

6. Click on PDA and open the .tar ROM file

7. Click start

8. Sit back and wait to Odin to finish. It will reboot your phone automatically for you.

Step 1:

Find a friend with a Windows based machine.

Step 2:

Install the USB drivers for your phone on the windows machine, you can get them from the SDK found here.

Before even trying to use Odin on another system, do you know if your phone is hardware locked? Search around XDA for the definition of "hardware lock" if you don't know what I'm talking about.

I've read your posts IP, and it seems you bricked your phone more the 4 times, it sucks and it's frustrating just like this guy. As far as the score, I was happy cause I "read" the post correctly and did what the dev's said, and have not ran into an issue quite like this. Though I am not a fan of odin, that much is clear.

For the poster, IP is right, my post didn't help at all, sorry about that. I know running into issues is very frustrating and reading through IP posts, it looks like he has gain quite a bit of knowledge through trail and error.. though this is what it's about yes?

Anyway, reason I said to clear the cache and data cause, if the phone is soft bricked he can still get into recovery yes? so I guess clearing all data from that and booting then a hard reset back to stock is worthless. I see that's impossible at this point.

well, I hope it turns out for the best...
