did you reflash from ji6 or reflash back to jfd then ji6.
[Vibrant Android Development] abrown0809:
BTW my battery life sucks. Its only 5:30 and my phone is at 5% battery power with little usage.
[Vibrant Android Development] PTong88:
It's working very well for me. Had a complications when trying the first tine but found out that having the lagfix i had wont allow me to boot the phone after the S screen. I used Odin to downgrade to J12 which wiped everything and then used Odin again with J16.
[Vibrant Android Development] stevenmcneal83:
How long does the update process take through ODIN?

I just started about 10 minutes ago and it has paused at <ID:0/005> factoryfs.rfs and does not seem to be progressing. Does it take 20 or more minutes? If not, should i restart the JI6 update?
[Vibrant Android Development] trunkstar1:
I notice the PIT file is included in the .zip but not mentioned in the instructions. So, to be clear, the only thing we need to flash is the .tar file, right?
[Vibrant Android Development] CBung:
Right, don't use the pit file. I tried it and had a problem, my post #298 of this thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] trunkstar1:
Cool, thanks for the confirmation.
[Vibrant Android Development] sader2202:
Hey does anybody knows if this works with voodoo lag fix and the OC 1.2 ghz kernel. i don't eant to brick my phone again.
[Vibrant Android Development] xsilvercivicx:
usb mode is not working for me

hi guys i flashed this update and now when i plug into my computer it doesnt let me put the phone into mass storage mode?

anyone else having this problem??

fix: rebooted and it started working again.... try rebooting twice if you guys are having problems....
[Vibrant Android Development] joshthewaster:
Yes. But ONLY with the back sport files. Those can be found in the voodoo thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] TunedFish:
Just reflashed JI6.
[Vibrant Android Development] w1llvnyc:
cant extract

Every time i download and try to extract i keep getting an error message..then on some i get a file corrupted. Can you please put up a sticky. Or another link to file share.. Thank you soo much.
[Vibrant Android Development] shaahinjjj:
will this rom work on a vibrant from Bell in Canada? and if it does work, will the future froyo update take?
[Vibrant Android Development] emilj:
One thing isnt clear...

is this supposed to be stock w/ Root or straight up stock?
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
Did you try downloading from all the links? Since the file is hosted on multiple servers it's a corrupt download on your end. Try again from different server...

It's pure stock as it comes from Tmobile...
[Vibrant Android Development] mjnbrn:
Thanks for this! This is three times Odin has been flawless.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Wow. it worked for me. I just got my replacement phone from t-mo and first thing it does after updating is freeze on the samsung screen. I was going to exchange it again when i found this and decided to try it. flashed JI6 perfectly and my phone is back up and running. FYI--when i first bought my vibrant, it was locked from recovery mode, the replacement was not, so i was able to get into download mode.
[Vibrant Android Development] atrain69:
Forgot to remove the lag fix before flashing JI6. Stuck on a blank screen after rebooting and going through the vibrant, tmobil and galaxys boot screens.

Update: Flashed JI2 with Odin and then reflashed JI6. Working great so far.
[Vibrant Android Development] j809:
thanks

thanks you helped me fix my phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] jjnewb:
what is the purpose of the 2 samsung dll's

what do we do with these dll's
[Vibrant Android Development] jjnewb:
usin2.2 need to install back to 2.1

have problems with phone need to install back to origingal firmware eclair
[Vibrant Android Development] SamsungVibrant:
I tried using this to ODIN my vibrant back to stock from axura 2.0.5. Once odin was finished, my phone rebooted, saw the white vibrant logo, then it went into recovery, and gave some error message something about "can't .... data"

something to do with a data file, I forget the full message.

did a quick google search, seems like this is missing the data file in the tar. so i had to odin to JFD.
[Vibrant Android Development] g1g:
Flashed fine for me and everything is in tact so far as all my apps and settings did have to reroot and get rid of the pink start ups agin ... Gona go try the gps now ...:D
[Vibrant Android Development] SamVib:
I thought YOU tried that.
[Vibrant Android Development] sumasage:
What is the procedure if i want to flash it and have it wipe out my setting/data?

I like to have a fresh start, easier to troubleshoot if i run into bugs.
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
SO what's new in this one? btw, I have a chance to play with the Galaxy Tab..took some pictures of the 2.2 built number if any one interested.
[Vibrant Android Development] 30Glock:
This thread is moving really slow, I thought there would be some excitement over JI6, Guess not.
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
yEP...same here..guess I won't flash it..doesn't seem worth it..why bother create a thread with the file and not say what's new and if its worth flashing or not..
[Vibrant Android Development] Erickomen27:
Flashed It, I've Had JI2 Since The First Day, So I'ma Check Around And See Whats New.

BTW It Didn't Wipe My Phone Everything Stayed In-Tact

And About This Lag, What Should I Look For, I Never Understood The Lag?
[Vibrant Android Development] Intel_x:
Lag Fix

all you have to know if you fix it your phone will be like 4 times faster than before so look for a lag fix and do it you will se the difference
[Vibrant Android Development] Erickomen27:
Oh Ok Thats It? I Was Thinking It Was Something Else Lol Well There Seems To Be A Little Bit Of Lag Fix, Runs Really Smooth

And I Notice I Can't Hook Up To Mass Storage?
[Vibrant Android Development] Mystery2U:
First flash ever.

Just flashed from stock, rooted, UVJFD. No data loss. First thing I noticed is more bars inside my apartment on 3G. Poking around now to see what's new to me.

--John
[Vibrant Android Development] Intel_x:
help

i cant get it to flash help plz will fail after looks for pit file and when i put pit file boots up on recovery with a whole bunch red letters
[Vibrant Android Development] g1g:
Yea i noticed more signal bars also .. :D gps still works good as jI5 playing with difernt app now ....
[Vibrant Android Development] Erickomen27:
Its Easy,

Open ODIN

Select The .PIT

Select The .TAR

Push Start
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Just flashed as well..my 3g speeds still suck...umm lag is still there. Dont see ntn new compare to j15

The bars on stock were inaccurate and displayed lower than normal signal sir.
[Vibrant Android Development] 30Glock:
LMAO you could not resist I see.
[Vibrant Android Development] Intel_x:
i have flash before with odin ji4 etc but im getting an error when it reboots goes to recovery with lots red letters
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
:D:D nope..i notice the modem file and everything was 7 days upto date so i figure y not, it might fix some lil bugs i had with j15..and you know the weird thing, I flash at 10% battery life, once I booted back up I had 20% :D
[Vibrant Android Development] speedysilwady:
Hm so because these updates don't wipe, does this mean that the OTA for the vibrant will be similar to this and we will not receive froyo til another OTA? the captivate already has froyo, and the vibrant is similar so I'm just wondering...it shouldn't be too long now either way
[Vibrant Android Development] Intel_x:
Error

E:Can't mount /dev/block/st110

(invalid argument)

E:copy_data_media:cant mount DBDATA:

copy default media content failed
[Vibrant Android Development] 30Glock:
Your bricked, You did something wrong, This is an easy fix though, Get bk to d/l mode and re-flash stock or whatever you had before that. Look in the bible thread everything you need is there.
[Vibrant Android Development] Intel_x:
sweet thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
yeah, don't know about the rest but I'm just sick of all these new builds. I'm on 1.4 Bionix and am going to wait about 2 weeks until the real deal 2.2 comes out. I really don't care much anymore about 2.1 variations.
[Vibrant Android Development] 30Glock:
After applying .tar file, Did you select start or partition?
[Vibrant Android Development] 30Glock:
Agreed I am sticking w JI2, Works best for me, All flashing on hold here, waiting for some 2.2.
[Vibrant Android Development] Intel_x:
where do i choose that because i jusr finish reflashing stock then try to flash JIV6 and same error i selectet start i think and partition
[Vibrant Android Development] Intel_x:
Redownload

i just redownload it the second file where is a zip have some xtra files didnt get on the first one im gonna try that

also i was flashing with odin v1.0 gonna try 1.3
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
Did you check the MD5 checksum of downloaded firmware? Your download maybe corrupt
[Vibrant Android Development] Intel_x:
thanks

sorry to be a noob but what is the md5 and yes a just redownload it and im reflashing again will get back to you soon thanks for all the help

ok all good it work first file was corrup it thanks for al the help
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
It's a secure checksum that helps you verify whether the downloaded file is same as one on the server or if its corrupted.

Google MD5 verification tool and then browse for downloaded file and see if the generated code matches from my first post
[Vibrant Android Development] Intel_x:
ok verification is good the phone boots up but it goes blank the ui keys when i touch them they turn on but screen stays blank and i think it freezes
[Vibrant Android Development] Intel_x:
Weird

very weird just check the md5 sum on the original file i download it and is good but thats the one i was having problems with and when i redownload it it work although is giving me a blank screen and it freezes reflashing again will post back soo
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
That is weird! Try using ODIN 1.3 if not already...
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
lol damn.....lol
[Vibrant Android Development] Intel_x:
Damn

I think my phone broke lol will boot up but screen will stay blank and menu keys will light up but will freeze
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
u were just too anxious lol
[Vibrant Android Development] betasp:
I can confirm that I got no shakey. shakey anymore. No vibrate. I flashed back to stock then to JI6.
[Vibrant Android Development] Intel_x:
Yes All Fix

If any one gets same error as me flash eugene froyo that doesn't brick odin .tar then downgrade to ji6 and it will work thanks for everyone's help
[Vibrant Android Development] betasp:
OK. Fixed it by removing lag fix. I will try to add it back and see what happens.
[Vibrant Android Development] kponti:
Flashed, no problems, worked perfect! Did not loose any data, but got back all the bloatware I deleted initially, oh well :)

Now can I root with current root methods?

EDIT: Ok rooted with the OCLF root method, did the minfree and change scheduler and once again I have about 95% of what the lag fix gives you sans the ludicrous quadrant score. Will test this
[Vibrant Android Development] murse:
One click root worked fine for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] CompConfig:
GPS!

I would not have believed it if I did not see it myself. I have tried every GPS fix and every ROM that gave me hope of a working GPS but for me nothing helped. I was sure that at least where my phone was concerned my problem was hardware based.

I just flashed this rom and it locked on pretty quickly but more importantly it locked on to my location and I mean dead on with the satellite view from Google maps and even more impressive it stayed there. I would get hits close to me in the past for a few seconds and then I watched as it shows me moving around a block here, two blocks there. In the morning I take it out for a long drive and put it through its paces.

The flash was quick with no problems and so far everything I have tried and all my apps and the market work well.
[Vibrant Android Development] mistical:
I just flashed successfully without any issues or data loss from JI5.

This release actually does feel a lot faster than JI5 as well as stock which I had prior to that JI5. JI5 still felt a little laggy for me however with JI6, it doesn't. So I guess that is a plus, if that indeed did anything in relation to that at all.

Thanks again! I haven't had time to play with GPS in this release yet, will be able to later today but JI5 I had no problems and personally for me with stock and using GPS a lot around my area, I normally never had issues with it. That doesn't mean I never did, it just wasn't always like others sadly had.
[Vibrant Android Development] zender2k:
WoW!!!For the very first time my GPS works flawlessly!!!Finally,they fixed it!:)
[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
GPS does seem flawless however we must give it the 24 hour test to be sure. Will it still work after a full day with no reboot?
[Vibrant Android Development] 00sivan:
I have tried JI2, JI5, JI6, Frankin-Twiz and Bionix. GPS doesn't work properly on any of them. I don't believe it's hardware however due to the following:

If I drive on the freeway for 10 min. it actually locks and stays locked. Even after I leave the freeway, all the way to my house I have lock and SNR is sometimes even under 20 but maintains lock.

I exit Maps or Waze for 10 minutes once I'm home, and despite having lock in my house prior, I now get no lock even outdoors. SNR is 25-35 across 10-12 sats. 0 in use. This scenario is repeatable 100% of the time with all the ROMS. WTF?

I'm not an expert but it seems like software just isn't communicating properly with the hardware. It sees the birds and has good enough signal, but the software won't talk to it. I don't know what difference the freeway makes. Does traveling at high speed make any difference?

BTW I'm in Israel, not sure if that makes a difference. I assume global positioning is still global.
[Vibrant Android Development] elbee222:
So far so good. Easy flash process using Odin v1.3 (no need for .pit file, only .tar file), and existing data was maintained after flash. Re-rooted with 1-click root. Everything works and GPS seems to work much better than original stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] johnnyh64:
I'm curious if the JI6 modem is better than the JI5? I am happy with my bionix rom with JI5 but if JI6 modem/gps/3g is better then it might be worth upgrading?

I'm far more concerned about accuracy of the GPS than I am speed of lock.

Anybody try both and notice a difference?
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
My signal seems more stable! Even when moving the phone around... also my battery life seems better but my wifi seems lil worst... i get better wifi with my nexus one.
[Vibrant Android Development] lestat210:
Long time lurker here. I have a few questions for the gurus out there. I've played with the gps setting (both stock, and recommended fixes), flashed the JI2 gps files, the full JI5, and now the JI6. My concern, is that if none of these flashes wipe anything, is everything that I've done to the phone previous to the JI6 flash still in there? Because, while I see major improvement in GPS lock/accuracy (not to mention my compass is now working), the GPS accuracy is nowhere near my droid. Is there a chance that I've done something that a full blown flash won't rectify? Should I go back to full stock rom, and odin JI6 from there? Thanks for the info guys/gals, and sorry for the long post.
[Vibrant Android Development] phantom9000:
non of my data got lost and gps seems to lock alot faster and the phone does not seem to lag
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
Not ONE WiFi tether method works. What gives?
[Vibrant Android Development] 00sivan:
Mobile AP2 signed update zip works fine. no problems
[Vibrant Android Development] slighpcs:
signed-mobileap.vibrant-T959UVJI2.zip from the MobileAP thread works great for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] djquick:
Did you check the box to turn it on?:p
[Vibrant Android Development] tenbeau:
Can I flash this from ji5 or do I have to go back to stock rom? I had just flashed ji5 over ji4 using Odin and I believe that with this .tar file I do not need to use pit file. Is that correct? Any and all help is greatly appreciated as I am a nubbie.
[Vibrant Android Development] Bronk93:
Gps does work flawlessly, however I think stock with JAC's OC kernel is my preference. Until atleast it becomes available for this firmware.
[Vibrant Android Development] 00sivan:
Update: What I did and it made my GPS FINALLY! work...

1. Download lbstest launch from the market. (I can't launch it anymore by dialing the digits, maybe it's just me.)

2. Changed the following:

Operation: MS Assisted

Start Mode: Cold

Accuracy: 100

Skyhook: On

Then: Server FQDN Type: AUTO Config

Then I deleted GPS data and restarted the phone.

Waited 2 min. (before this i waited 15 min. with no lock) and it got lock on 3 birds.

Then I launched lbstestmode and changed the following:

Start Mode: Hot

Accuracy: 20

Results: I've now powered the phone on and off and tested that it does lock before maps is open consistently. Let's see what happens over the next few days...

EDIT: Not sure if ALL of that is necessary, just thought I'd list what worked for me. I'm in Israel FYI this may have something to do with it. At least I can say for the most part that this doesn't appear to be a hardware issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
Yeah, duh. I had to reinstall it. It seemed to be something deeper because WiFi tether wouldn't work either.
[Vibrant Android Development] mistical:
If you read the last page I successfully flashed from JI5 with no data loss or any other issues.

I used a pit file when I flashed but as OP said and others have not.
[Vibrant Android Development] demo23019:
Anyone else not able to remove bloatware. i rooted after update and use root explorer just like i do every time to remove bloatware.

But everything reappears back after reboot.

edit

factory restored and tried again and no go, going back to JI5
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Anyone else able to get more than 6 satellites gps lock with j16?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dimitri_010:
I just flashed JI6 over stock JFD. I had Voodoo lag fix on there but disabled by adding the 'disable lagfix' folder in the Voodoo directory. I'm assuming that is how you completely remove the lag fix?

I ask this because, after flashing both JI5 and JI6 through ODIN...my phone actually seems slower now than the stock JFD without the lag fix. My home screen stutters, live wallpapers stutter, transitions are choppy. Over all, the phone is just a lot more choppy with these builds. I only bring up the Voodoo lag fix in case there may be some conflicting issues between that and the new software.
[Vibrant Android Development] eaglefire6:
GPS works great, how it should've been all along...however, now my vibration feedback doesn't work, and I'm thinking the vibration might not work period. :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] murse:
I went from rooted JFD to JI2 to JI6. I've never installed a lag fix nor installed a non-stock kernel/rom. My phone has never been faster. It won't break any records, but it's the fastest stock configuration I've used.
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Getting tired of all these problems
[Vibrant Android Development] alpha2beta:
Same here i used to be able to get 9 to 11 on ji2, ji4 and ji5, now i cant get more then 6 with Ji6.

This better not be the final build.
[Vibrant Android Development] 00sivan:
You got 6? I was excited about 3! LOL
[Vibrant Android Development] evo9mrjr:
thats because when your flashing its on the charger genius
[Vibrant Android Development] Dimitri_010:
Also, ever since i loaded these builds up...whenever i receive an SMS/MMS while my phone is not in use....the screen will turn on like usual, however, it will not timeout after...

it just stays lit after the SMS/MMS is received and kills my batter until i turn the screen off by myself. Any suggestions??? This also happens on the JFD stock as well :-\
[Vibrant Android Development] coachmai:
in settings "sounds and display" make sure you have puzzle lock enabled....
[Vibrant Android Development] t1n0m3n:
I have tried JI6 all weekend. It is laggy at times. Something is wrong, but I cannot put my finger on it. Oh well, back to my previous ji4+tayutama nandroid.

My final verdict: JI6=FAIL
[Vibrant Android Development] mistical:
Not that it matters anymore since you already did a factory restore but I had absolutely no problems removing the bloatware once again.

However, I did not use Root Explorer, not that it should make a difference I just used the free version of Titanium Backup to remove all the bloatware in less than a minute. Layar did not come back with this update like in JI5 so I did not have to manually remove that through Terminal.
[Vibrant Android Development] t1n0m3n:
Ahh yeah, this is the first leak that I actually had to do a "mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system" first in order to remove the bloatware.

The JI6 leak must have fixed it. I always thought it weird that previous versions allowed one to delete /system stuff without the need to remount rw.
[Vibrant Android Development] demo23019:
Yea i used terminal then realized i could use root explorer now ill try out titanium and see if any easier, thanks

edit oh yea much better now i can see icons

Thank you, i flashed back JI6 and did that now bloatware removes
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
did u start from a clean slate?

or

did you flash it atop your previous ROM?

b/c don't forget the JI5 and JI6 don't format /data

so u need to flash JFD and the flash JI5/JI6.

just a fyi

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] :
EPIC...lol. But I am in agreement. I played the role and went into my local TMobile store to ask the girl if she had any info on froyo for the vibrant...etc. Told her my GPS was crap on the phone and I was getting sick of it. She then preceded to try to tell me how GPS works and that I was prolly in a bad location. What she didn't know was that I was an electronics tech in submarines for a decade who specialized in inertial navigation. including GPS. So I naturally took her to school and ended up getting a new phone out of the deal to replace the one I had dropped. I guess something is better than nothing. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] onthecouchagain:
What exactly happens if you don't flash JFD (what is JFD, btw?) and just flash from JI5 to JI6. That's what I did and I'm noticing it's a little laggy where it wasn't before...

EDIT: Found out what JFD is. Anyway, instead of flashing back to JFD, can I just flash back to JI4 with the PIT file and let it do the data wipe, then flash to JI6? Would this resolve the "on top of JI5" issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] eortizr:
I'm starting to think that my phone's gps is messed up... with JI2 the GPS worked flawlessly, but then I tried Bionix and Franklyn versions up to most current ones... I never got the GPS to work the way it did on JI2,,, then I tried this JI6 and still not reliable... it takes like 2 minutes the first time to get a fix in a open field with a clear sky. after that if I move to other location and open Maps... it takes for ever to get a fix again. I went back to JI2 hoping to get my GPS back.. and still not working.... it just takes like 3 to 5 minutes to get a fix every time.
[Vibrant Android Development] djquick:
Wipe everything on your phone (including formatting your internal sd card), flash to stock UVJFD, then flash to whatever custom or leaked rom you want.

I'm personally using bionix 1.4 w/JI6 modem and GPS has never worked better (although I never really had any big problems with GPS on other roms).
[Vibrant Android Development] onthecouchagain:
Hi Djquick, would this strategy work if I flashed to JI2 or JI4 with the PIT file and let it do the full wipe (after I format SD/Internal), and then flash to JI6? Or will it only work if I flash back to JFD?

Another quick question: What's the difference between doing a factory reset, and flashing back to stock?
