Battery is draining faster compared to jac's oc uv kernel. Hopefully he will update it for JI6. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] JD76:
I am experiencing a bug.... When you go to Settings>Sound&Display>Ringer Volume.. It Force Closes...same when u choose System Volume.. has this been reported yet?
[Vibrant Android Development] lwick74:
Seems to work fine on mine...Maybe re flash or fix permissions?
[Vibrant Android Development] JayfromBK86:
Did the update via ODIN... couldn't ask for a more simpler process. Literally took me 9 mins to apply update and then re-root!
[Vibrant Android Development] dbm0361:
Is the 5.1 working on movies in this one?
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
It likely works already with no update needed. Bionix 1.7 is already using a JI6 base and offers a OC / UV kernel combo version. Whether it works with the stock JI6 rom IDK but I can't think of why it wouldn't.
[Vibrant Android Development] DonutYankee:
Issue resolved.
[Vibrant Android Development] Gr8gorilla:
I finally bricked my first phone today. It was not a soft brick either. I was using to go back to stock. I am using Windows 7 64. Odin froze in the middle of repartitioning and my phones screen went blue then black. The phone will not power on now.

I would advise everyone to be careful with ODIN.

This has nothing to do with the OP's instructions just a fault of Odin on 64 bit machines.
[Vibrant Android Development] rembonjaski:
Another successful update through Odin to report. Completely stock - no root.

Total cake-walk. Thanks to all for the info.
[Vibrant Android Development] denny_1986:
successfully flashed here as well. Thank you for the steps (although the steps dont mention the use of 512.pit....i referred back to a different thread and flashed it anyways)

works like a charm!

oh and i was able to retain all of my data as well...strange!
[Vibrant Android Development] glensta:
Anyone running a lag-fix and/or voodoo/and or an oc kernel with this update?
[Vibrant Android Development] Robert8457:
When i do this i get

<ID:0/004> Added!! <ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4).. <ID:0/004> File analysis.. <ID:0/004> SetupConnection.. <ID:0/004> Initialzation..

and it stays at that screen in odin.

now i cant flash any rom i can get into download mod can anyone help.
[Vibrant Android Development] techpreneur:
Thank you so much for posting this! The t-mobile update broke my girlfriends phone. I was able to use your firmware to repair it. All of data was still there too!
[Vibrant Android Development] frankencat:
I would bet that its not totally bricked.
[Vibrant Android Development] daweedk1991:
I flashed this and clicked re-partition thinking it was needed...Now I have this

-- Movi_check Start..!!
checksum configuration need_checksum[0]
Not need checksum configuration

-- Movi_check already executed!!...

--movi_checking done!...
update media, please wait...
E:Cant mout /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount DBDATA:

Any ideas of how to fix this? Or atleast is there any way to get back into download mode? adb reboot download sends me back to recovery with that message...
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
Take out your battery and reinsert it, press and hold VOL UP and VOL DOWN and plug in USB and your phone should be in downloading mode (unless it's hardware locked).

Now, open ODIN, browse for .pit file, check repartition and use JFD stock firmware under PDA and click start button. Once it's flashed, repeat the above process without .pit and repartition selected and select JI6 firmware under PDA this time and click start button and you should be fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] sumasage:
What does the repartition do? Does it "format" the internal memory?
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
It should but in my case it didn't with stock JFD.
[Vibrant Android Development] sumasage:
So it wont hurt anything if i check repartition when flashing in odin?
[Vibrant Android Development] dmolition:
It wont hurt anything but it will delete everything in your internal SD
[Vibrant Android Development] Kaiyoti:
I tried the steps, how long should the "<id:0/008> initialzation.." message be? I keep getting stuck at that part. And now I can no longer boot my phone. I get a cellphone icon and computer icon with exclamation (orange background) when I try to boot the phone normally.

Please help.

Update - Tried the same steps on Win 7 32 bit, now it's updating fine....

I swear to god, for some reason, developers really hate Windows 7 64bit, this is the third time this week I had to suffer because of this.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
Put the phone back in download mode. You should be able to do so by holding the power/volume buttons until the screen goes black, releasing the power then plugging in the USB
[Vibrant Android Development] Kaiyoti:
It's all good, turns out it's Odin doesn't play nice with Win 7 64bit, I believe someone else with same os had the same problem

Maybe should put up a warning.
[Vibrant Android Development] Kaiyoti:
Cool i just noticed a "Task Manager" when holding down home... though it doesn't show everything... is that normal? I only see LauncherPro

[Vibrant Android Development] stellarvelocity:
Can anyone confirm that the market is fixed with this version of the update? I flashed what was claimed to be the official OTA and lost market apps. I flashed this one over top of it but no dice, still missing market apps like Fandango and Digital Clock by Maize (my favorite).
[Vibrant Android Development] hydrogenman:
****

this update broke my haptic feedback
[Vibrant Android Development] stellarvelocity:
are you sure? did you go into settings, sound and display, check 'haptic feedback' and then adjust the setting below it that toggles the intensity? mine seems to be working fine.

however i did hear that if you LAGFIX the JI6 it does disable the vibrating motor completely.
[Vibrant Android Development] mr2t32:
I ran into this after flashing JI6 and what I found is that you have to install busybox from market. All is working for me after that.
[Vibrant Android Development] tgerbracht:
Stock Rom, rooted, a couple small tweaks like battery indicator, removed pink Tmobile boot images, etc. Do I need to ODIN flash to the true stock (remove root in the process) and then Odin Flash the JI6 with no .pit that time or can I simply connect my phone, pick the .tar and do it right now? Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah, OTA screwed my wife's phone, I had to try Odin stock flash on 3 comps and it finally worked on Win 7 32 bit. My Win 7 64 high end machine couldn't get past file analysis. Hooray for her crappy netbook, lol. Also, I'm not exaggerating, but I had to try to Odin flash my phone at least a few dozen times before it went through. I was stuck on cache.rfs several times and I was totally shocked when one of my attempts finally breezed through and everything was done in about 2 mins.
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Were you using ODIN v1.0 or 1.3? I've seen x64 be VERY flaky with v1.0 but seems much better now since I began using v1.3. Using the repartition option also introduces more risk IMO. I'll just add that if you're on Windows 7 x64 (like me), the safest way to go may be to use v1.3 and to avoid the repartition option. Many times the repartition works fine for folks, but I personally avoid it since it's been unnecessary for what I've been flashing.
[Vibrant Android Development] rbtady:
Does anyone know if having ryan's lagfix, root and some metamorph themes (battery indicator skin and system setting icons) will cause problems for this update? I tried flashing with odin and everything was successful, but after the S boot screen, my screen just stayed black.

I used odin to reflash stock and it deleted everything I had, but luckily, I was able to do a nandroid restore.
[Vibrant Android Development] hydrogenman:
Good call

it was the lagfix that broke it

are there any lagfixes that are compatible with JI6?
[Vibrant Android Development] ryan562:
x2 i also have win 7 64 and would also recommend running 1.3. i just flashed back to stock last night with no problems.
[Vibrant Android Development] ramish:
I also did a successful Odin update, but stock with root. However, I noticed that after the update some apps like "Bank of America" and "My24" aren't accessible from the Market anymore. Anybody else experiencing this?
[Vibrant Android Development] ramish:
I guess I'm having the same problem as Stellarvelocity. I can't access Fandango and Digital Clock by Maize either. Updated via Odin from stock rom to JI6.
[Vibrant Android Development] ramish:
LagFix disabled my vibration. Uninstalling it re-enabled my vibration.
[Vibrant Android Development] belial20xx:
I am begining to question if this is the actual ota

I am wondering if the rom we are using is the ota. I am experiencing the market missing app issue and also the ota was suppose to update sims3 to the 10th anniversery edition and I am still running the collectors so I have to inquire to the legitimacey of this being the real OTA that is rolling out. I may run it as is for a week or to and revert to stok to see if I can run t-mo's update. You have to figure that if you revert back to stock after everyone got the ota you should have it ready to go no?
[Vibrant Android Development] ThC23:
Phone wont Mount!

So I flashed this JI6 OTA tonight and the first thing I notice so far is that it doesnt give me the option to Mount my phone when I bring down the notification bar. All it says is that Usb is connected.

Im coming from the unofficial flash JI2 and that one worked fine for me.

Anyone else having this problem?

What can I do or go to mount my phone again?

Thanks!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Glad to say everything seems to work after j6!!
[Vibrant Android Development] stellarvelocity:
I think the statement that we're getting "10th Anniversery" was a small oversight on T-Mo's part. That line came from an internal memo sent out to employees. I think "Collectors Edition" Sims 3 Mobile IS the 10th Ann. edition. AFAIK The update was only meant to fix some serious issues with Sims 3 crashing when out of memory or crashing from pop-up messages like "low battery" and SMS Popup.

As far as the Market App issue, I got so fed up trying to fix it that I flashed back to stock from the faulty JI6 leak (that's being passed around as OTA) and I will call T-Mo tomorrow and ask that they repush me the OTA. I lost my notification after master reseting due to a bum lag fix removal tool that completely ruined my ROM and it hasn't come back since. I suggest you do the same if you can.
[Vibrant Android Development] rbtady:
I was having an issue with this update and I think my issue was Ryan's Lag Fix. Does anyone know where I could find steps to uninstall the lag fix so I can do the update? I used the original one click lag fix, not the apk.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
"faulty" what are you talking about? If the build.prop fingerprint shows JI6 as the firmware the MARKET has to recognize it. It has nothing to do with anything.

The OTA has the exact same build.prop and the EXACT same problem with market apps not showing up.

If the market doesn't recognize JI6 as a firmware for the T-Mobile Vibrant we won't be able to see certain apps. Each and every phone running JI6 has the same problem. If you want to change it back to a recognized firmware version like JFD you have to be rooted.
[Vibrant Android Development] dbm0361:
Wait so what one is the true ota
[Vibrant Android Development] ramish:
Noticed the same thing. Try enabling USB debugging. For some reason J16 disables this at start up for me.

Go to: Settings > Applications > Development

Check the USB Debugging checkbox.

You may need to unplug and replug your USB to see the mount option.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
You don't need to enable USB debugging. You can simply select ask on connection and it will work from there.
[Vibrant Android Development] Fizzikill:
hey guys how long is this suppose 2 take? I downloaded the latest JI6 file from samfirmware. Opened Odin ran the file and it just sits there doing file Analysis for the past 10min. is this normal? I'm flashing from Stock JFD Rom. Any Help would be greatly Appreciated. i tried starting odin again but ended up with the PC phone exclamation mark icon. managed to get back into Download mode but yeah just a lil concerned.
[Vibrant Android Development] Fizzikill:
after literally sh**ing bricks i rebooted the pc restarted odin and plugged into another usb port and started process again. sucess!! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] MacGuy2006:
Hm..., I get repeatedly stuck on "<ID:0/004> SetupConnection.." with Odin 1.3 or on "File analysis.." with Odin 1.0.

I've rebooted and tried again and again, but no luck. Had RyanZA lagfix, but removed it.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] stepinmyworld:
This is more reliable than these ROMS out here even though I appreciate them. I don't see any bugs with the OTA J16 via odin
[Vibrant Android Development] rbtady:
How did you remove RyanZA lagfix? If I unroot, will that remove the lagfix because I think that's why I couldn't get passed the Galaxy S bootscreen.
[Vibrant Android Development] realcyberbob:
When you get the actual OTA update please post as to whether or not you can see the missing apps that we are experiencing with this rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] glensta:
I'm using This T959UVJi6 Rom jac's 1.1 voodoo kernel and it's working great so far. I was running Bionix 1.7 - which is also very nice, but has a few bugs. So far, this is the cleanest install as close to stock as possible with the newest modem etc.
[Vibrant Android Development] mpena0689:
Email is giving me an error

Any one know how to fix this i downloaded JI6 from this thread i followed the steps and everything works perfect but now when i try to use my email for my yahoo account it keeps giving me an error message and just forecloses.
[Vibrant Android Development] bbuchacher:
I dont know why this hasnt been said yet but will someone please do the following,

After you recieve notification that it is connecting to server to download your OTA get log cat up or get ddms up and get the url that the phone is downloading from, then after you get the notification that your Update is ready, connect your phone to adb and pull the cache

adb pull cache

you should now have the ota and upload please for others
[Vibrant Android Development] Lakers3408:
Good luck with that, I had a similar issue, I called T-Mobile on friday and was told that if I received a notification and if I did not install it then I would have to wait for it to be rolled out again and that T-Mobile had no way of manually pushing the OTA out to me. The rep also told me to call back in 72hrs, which I did (today) and now was told that the OTA rollout has been extended until Sunday and if by then I don't receive the OTA again that my cell number will be added to a list and giving to Samsung so that Samsung will send the OTA update out to customers that have not received it.

So looks like we missed the boat and will have to wait till Samsung gets a list of numbers that missed the rollout in order to send it out to us, who know's how long that will take!
[Vibrant Android Development] anthonys2r:
Has anyone else not gotten ANY notifications for an OTA update? Its been almost a week and my phone has yet to get any messages from t-mobile..
[Vibrant Android Development] tjsynkral:
Not much point in waiting... OTA softbricked mine and I ended up using ODIN anyway.
[Vibrant Android Development] frankencat:
I never got the notification but my wife did and postponed it becase we were both running custom kernels. I updated both manually through ODIN and it worked fine. I recommend flashing this way over waiting on Tmo.
[Vibrant Android Development] frankencat:
Oops...wrong thread. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] iTylerA:
I have to ask, can someone make a clockwork flashable for those of us with limited to no computer access.
[Vibrant Android Development] Nightfall983:
Market Fix

For those of you having problems with the market, download SGS tools from the market, apply market fix, and you should be able to see your apps again.

If it was already mentioned in this thread, I'm sorry... didn't have time to read through everything.

On a side note... has anyone noticed that haptic feedback does not work with the android keyboard. It only works with Sype and samsung keyboards.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
SGS Tools' Market Fix puts the wrong firmware version in the Build.Prop. Do NOT use it because you won't get certain US apps. Just use the prop editor to replace JI6 with JFD for the fingerprint line/Description line
[Vibrant Android Development] heatx:
I second this
[Vibrant Android Development] mobilebone:
I got like 11 out of 16 once. I know, it sounds unbelievable.
[Vibrant Android Development] Nightfall983:
Thanks...

Do you mean the prop editor in SGS tools, I already applied the market fix... can I undo it?

I can't seem to select or change anything in the fingerprint with sgs tools
[Vibrant Android Development] mobilebone:
I wish. Doing that did nothing on my phone. It would not even display the USB connection icon. Debugging worked.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
You have to actually select an option when the panel comes up. Mass Storage, Kies or Media Player.
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
select the unblock then edit. I can't save it though.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
Yes, unblock. You need root to save it.
[Vibrant Android Development] stellarvelocity:
Here's the thing: I'm a retail employee (which technically I have to announce whenever I post about stuff like this per our companies new "Social Networking Policy", so I am not trying to gloat). So when I called our guys tonight in PDA support they searched high and low through our internal docs and sure enough, they can't "push" it like other updates. They will, however, open up a whole support article for exactly this. I can't promise anything, but at this point it should be fixed soon. It will likely be handled like other "lost updates" where you simply have to call back and they'll have our "OTA Team" do their thing about pushing it.

For now our official word is: If you have lost an update please wait through the update cycle until it completes. If after the update cycle (in this case October 31) you do not receive the update, call PDA Support and they will handle the issue for you.

:( Guess I'm waiting.

To answer an earlier question directed at me: the two people with Vibrants I have talked to that have received the OTA say they are able to find the applications that the leaked JI6 filters through the faulty build.prop. It is a fault of the leak, which is one of the reasons it was pulled. There are no T-Mo PDA support articles mentioning any call-ins for missing protected apps. Looks like those that update with Kies/Odin are smart enough not to tie up those lines. Or nothing is being documented. *shrug*
[Vibrant Android Development] stellarvelocity:
Everything that I have read, and heard, says that only the manual installation (I.E. the leaked update FROM KIES) is responsible for missing apps. The build.prop has a different build date in it than that from the OTA (with a margin of about a week). Which, BTW, means is NOT exactly the same.

Unless someone WITH THE OTA that NEVER flashed the leaked firmware confirms that they are actually missing protected apps, I'm staying on my original statement that leaked firmware is no good. Sorry guys.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
Yeah I'm real sorry. Once you lay your word down it's final!

Oh right.. the build date has nothing to do with the market. Try again.
[Vibrant Android Development] gcamach:
I tried installing the updates and for some reason ones it rebooted I kept getting android forced close applications. I thought I had skewed up my phone and i tried to go into recovery mode with adb but didn’t seem to work, but what I manage to do is unmount the internal SD card and the force closed stopped after I did a master reset on the phone and so far the update is still there and works fine. I’m not too sure if this will help anyone just hope it does.
[Vibrant Android Development] Shaul305:
In my sadness from bricking my phone due to the JI6 update this morning (while downloading the ODIN/JI6 zip at work) this quote made me laugh like a mufucka. thanks for the cheerup. lolol:cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] sader2202:
one click root works but was aout the one click lag fix.
[Vibrant Android Development] sader2202:
I was think about flashing this ji6 update and then flash mcr_script lag fix and the OC 1.2 ghz voodoo lag fix. it works great on JFD but i just wonder if it would work on JI6. any ideas. people.

[Vibrant Android Development] MisterKrispy:
Thanks for this. Is it safe to downgrade back to JFD with ODIN and run this from KIES?

Also, I don't THINK I'm having any market problems. What are some apps I can search for to make sure?
[Vibrant Android Development] MilkPudding:
It works well, took me only 3 minutes. Thanks. The GPS is still kinda off but a lot better than before.
[Vibrant Android Development] TunedFish:
Music and Video player issues

As per instructions, I updated with Odin, over modified stock, and after a few reboots, it worked well. Then I used JFD Kernel Support in newer build, followed by Voodoo 1.1 Kernel, then finally, the Voodoo Lagfix. As I said, it works pretty good except the Music and Video player: every time the song or video ends, it freezes the phone temporarily but the apps need to be closed by the task manager. Anyone else have this problem?
[Vibrant Android Development] abrown0809:
OK. I just flashed this last night. My GPS is amazing. Getting great accuracy as long as I'm outside. But my question is what are the other changes? I read the changelog but other than the improved GPS and the taskmanager, I don't notice anything else. The battery indicator is still crappy. The market is the same. I didn't use the pit file. Is that why?
[Vibrant Android Development] daragh:
*STOCK* T-Mobile October OTA - breaks 'fingerprint'

I have lost 'Pure Calendar widget (agenda)' from the Market. This is a stock vibrant - no unlocking/rooting/romming.

Is this a T-Mobile issue? Google? App developer? Others got the ROM on the 7th, and I got it on the 12th, so I am not sure its the registration delay...

Thanks for your help!
[Vibrant Android Development] floepie:
Is this OTA with its JI6 modem just as much of a battery drainer like FTwiz Final is with its JI6 modem? Any of you notice an improvement in this regard with this official OTA version? Thanks...

[Vibrant Android Development] TunedFish:
I was having with the video & audio player, but I reflashed the ota and now everything works. It's all stock, though.
