UGH!!!!!!! i cant even odin back to stuck due to hardware locked vibrant. guess i am stuck
[Vibrant Android Development] JWhipple:
Sounds like T-Mobile and Samsung need to work on their communication !!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
No syncing issues here.great update other than the damn compass.....
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
adb reboot download.

OR

Brick your phone to the PC ! Phone screen and follow the battery out all keys timed method to get in.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Pp

T ishis what I did and I have 0 issues....
[Vibrant Android Development] flameinthefire:
there is no such thing as all keys timed method. when i bricked my vibrant earlier i tried everything to get it back to download mode on a hardware locked and nothing worked. well what is the method ur are talking about ? lem me see if i can get to dl mode. please give me the details
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
dude

Just root your phone, and download android terminal from market.

open terminal

and type: su (hit enter)

then type: reboot download (hit enter)

and BAM!! ur in download mode

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] JWhipple:
Have you tried this method? Works like a charm every time for me.

Can you please let me know what settings you have in your GPS configuration (you know, where people go in to do the fix). My GPS was actually working ok before this update, but now it can't find my location.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] flameinthefire:
i did this on my last locked vibrant and the odin froze and that was it. my phone was bricked..... so i dont know what to do
[Vibrant Android Development] velocd:
Im having gps lock issues as well. Can't get into test mode either.
[Vibrant Android Development] crazyfunky:
I always said to myself: Don't buy anything when it first comes out. Don't update when it first comes out. There's usually some issues (teething problems) at the beginning.

Now, other than the DIVX registration not being present, (which I don't really mind), I tried to refresh my yahoo email account while being on wifi and it wouldn't let me. Says I have to disable WIFI. Never had this issue. I could send emails over WIFI (probably because of outgoing server differences) but I could always receive emails over WIFI!

Why didn't I wait?
[Vibrant Android Development] justin683:
I have to whole heartedly agree with Viralblack on this one. Ive yet to have a single issue with this firmware coming from J12 with voodoo and both gps fixes... Any who people really need to stop worrying why samsung pulled it, if your flash happy so be it flash away. Even being the n00b I am I was able to figure out how to use adb shell and odin and since learning both (took like an hour of reading and trial error) ive yet to have a problem. For people with the macs the cold reality is until someone makes it into a flashable zip for you, you up ****s creek, unless u run bootcamp. So far this rom hasnt given me any issues like I said, gps locks quickly everything syncs just fine, rooted, debloated, and all with the use of odin and adb. Just takes a bit of reading. Sorry to rant just seeing so many people freaking out of nothing.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
1. Take a shot. (Vodka preferred)

2. Power off the Phone.

3. Pull the Battery.

4. Plug USB cable into Phone.

5. Plug USB cable into PC.

6. Press and Hold: Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power, all at the same time.

7. Re-insert the battery.

8. The phone will power now, when the screen starts a cycle of going to a BLACK screen, release ONLY the POWER button.

NOTE: POWER button must be released while the screen is BLACK, or it won't work. If done correctly, you will now be back at the 'Download' screen.

NOTE: Your phone should now have all the drivers installed that are needed, the BIG ones are: Samsung Mobile Modem and Samsung USB Composite Device.

NOTE: Get the phone to recognize with Odin, which will show a Yellow COM port when opening it, you may have to unplug the USB cable, close Odin, open Odin, replug the phone into your PC, even if you get the Yellow COM box, it doesn't guarantee it will work.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Stock, I flashed to complete and total day one stock via odin, then to JI5 via odin. I didnt make a single modification.
[Vibrant Android Development] minedune:
Updated an hour go with odin and im really pleased. GPS, compass work great, getting better signal, doesnt have the lag that the last official update had.

I dont see what all the commotion is about.

People using kies should just Odin, yea it wipes but probably better that way so you dont run into intermingling, compatibility issues ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
So,

I spoke to a few people. The GPS seems better then JIT2 + the modem.bin seems more stable.

So, Im thinking flash the JI5 modem.bin.

And, if someone who knows how to pull apart the GPS from JI5. we can put it onto any rom.

Just my idea.
[Vibrant Android Development] N8ter:
The only other phone T-Mobile has with comparable specs right now is the HTC HD2.

They don't have many decent phones. Stuff like MyTouch Slide, etc. are not for power users, IMO. (mid-range devices).

So, if you want a phone comparable to this one, you're either stuck with an obsolete WM6.5 device (HD2), or your jumping ship and going to a different carrier.
[Vibrant Android Development] justin683:
if you dont use a pit file it will not wipe.... soo if you dont wanna lose anything give it a whirl. I used to always do the full wipe before but i got lazy this time
[Vibrant Android Development] byt3b0mb:
this is true - no pit with this update and all my apps /settings remained, just needed to re-root
[Vibrant Android Development] Allen K:
Has anyone noticed that dialing *#*#1472365#*#* no longer works to get GPS settings? Or is it just me?
[Vibrant Android Development] velocd:
Same here.
[Vibrant Android Development] N8ter:
I don't care about updating with Kies.

But I wish they would hurry up and release a US version so I can manage the damn phone with it.

Seriously, even Windows Mobile phones can be managed with Windows Applications (Photo Gallery, Media Player, ActiveSync/WMDC, etc.) and iPhones can be Managed with iTunes.

God. I hope the next Vibrant they send me isn't Hardware Locked. I'm getting tired of halfway using this HD2. And I'm getting tired of redownloading all my apps, redoing all my settings, resetting all my cookies, and generally waiting days-weeks for a phone because they're on backorder.

GAH!

And TBQH, if they would just fix the damn bugs, push a few performance updates, and get FroYo out the door (sorry, sorry) I would be totally content with the damn phone until I upgrade to a new phone.

And probably use my HD2 as a Dev phone of some sorts.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
I don't know why everyone is so adamant on saying with JFD and installing the "gps files" as if that could be the only thing changed.

I did the same with my gfs phone [flashed her to stock & then to JI5] and everything worked perfectly.

There seem to be a few apps she can't access in the market that I can on Bionix 1.3 though. OK...We only found one: Digital Clock Widget. Anyone else having that issue?

I'll be honest, I didn't search through all 58 pages to see if we are supposed to edit a .prop file or anything as it's not really a big deal to me (since I can just download the apps if need be on my old G1 without any worries), but others might have problems.

Hopefully someone followed rule #1 and made a nandroid? Whenever you replace any system files ......... blah blah blah ........... I've been burned by that a few times, live & learn, right?
[Vibrant Android Development] justin683:
Wrong the battery flash will not brick your phone...... If your gettings FC just flash the STOCK ACCURATE BATTERY and all will be well... BTW flashing OCLF V1X atm will post with an update as to weather I lose vibration
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:

Alrighty use this OCLF method flash it through clockwork recovery reboot into stock recovery reinstall packages for the MCR scripts icon to load and pick your setting... CONFIRMED WORKING with all hapatic feedback...

all in all im happy with this release and didnt have to reinstall a single thing except reroot and do the lag fix.

[Vibrant Android Development] ^Fs:
What distinguishes JI5 from JI4?

...besides one number. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:
I have a reason why I everyone should do this update.

When you charge the phone, and the battery is full, there is NO POPUP!

There is a notification in the notificaiotn bar, but no frickin popup!

WOOT
[Vibrant Android Development] flameinthefire:
i love the update nothing wrong with it i am getting amazing battery life now. and the gps works flawless. i dont know why they pulled it. so what do i do when i get the ota? do i install it? because i cant get back to stock i got a hardware locked vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] justin683:
Only complaint I have with this rom at the current time is the modem... with the J12 modem I got 4100kbps dl with this modem Im getting 2503kbps dl.... Could just be my location though.... But thats about it.. Anyone else run a speedtest yet

working great for me... it's sad cuz i'm only getting 5.98 Mbps download with wifi lol
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
could be just the congestion on your network. I for one get great speeds with this rom.

I dont know what people are having problems with this rom, but it runs smoothly for me and I flashed via ODIN.

Actually I never even had a issue with lag on the actual stock rom that it shipped with. Whatever but still how are you all having wierd issues like Force Closing.
[Vibrant Android Development] justin683:
Me? Im not having ANY issues.... Like I said the speeds could be cause of my location and congestion. I got FCS when I flashed the Blue circle accruate battery mod, then again its not ment for this framework, I flashed the STOCK ACCURATE BATTERY MOD for J12 and thats just fine.....
[Vibrant Android Development] justin683:
if samsung would release the kernel for this so JAC could do a kernel mod with voodoo this rom would SCREAM.... But in stock form with OCLF it FLYS..

Anyone else noticing that with JI5 Svox Classic TTS does *NOT* show up in the market now?

I did some checking and Svox only shows for Android 2.1 and lower - yes I know it should show but it is not showing in market for me now and it was just 5 minutes before I did the update.
[Vibrant Android Development] Intel_x:
Download SGS Tools and do the market thing it deletes the filter of the market due to the fact is a test firmware.

Day 2 for me with JI5 and everything is still working awesome! I dont care why Sammy pulled this but im glad i got it without issues. I just ran a speed test sitting in my living room at home where i used to get 1 bar on edge. This time i got 2 bars on 3g and it gave me:

2.41 Upload

1.56 Download

Thats fast then i get with my regular home ADSL line! I cant wait to go to work today where i get a full 5 bars on 3g and see what my results are! So far so good! no complaints here
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Question I did thid and it runs smooth and has alil lag at times to will I still receive the ota update from t-mobile?
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Agreed, this rom is rocking. They may have pulled it due to the fact kies is crap and messing things up for people ... well I'm happy lol
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
More than likely no because kies also said no update on anything other than stock so I'm assuming that no...

Read my post about a similar issue:

The answer was to download SGS Tools from the market and run it - should resolve Market issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] 2sh0rt:
Yep no Asphalt or TMZ found in the market for me. I suspect that JI5 isnt the final OTA release b/c several other people on T-Mo Forum are saying similar things. Regardless im super stoked with it for now and when they annount the OTA Start i'll worry about what to do then!

Umm....I'm typing and posting this while it says my connection is down :|

What a crappy spot of coding .....

Must be 3-400 individual update files, all .cab files.

Dipshits should make 1 single self-extracting .cab file and then it wouldn't hang due to the server constantly getting hmmered for so many tiny files (self induced dDOS ?).
