I was just reading that thread as well. Get outta my system. LOL. I've got the enc file, now just need to get the decryption code. I guess I can always wait till I get home and just brute attack it.
[Vibrant Android Development] shardz:
same here.

stock vibrant. never rooted.

Ran Kies as an Admin too. Updated Kies to 1.5.3 too. still crashed at the mcthunder.firmware. yada yada part.

im thinking its not a good idea to flash the firmware with this flaky kies software.

also i had trouble connecting to the kies at first and was still at the home screen but i was running launcherpro so i ran homeswitcher and reverted back to the touchwiz home screen and i was able to connect then. but its a moot point now.

the success rate doesnt seem to be favoring us in this thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
lol, nice. Well I hope it doesnt come down to rainbow tables, Itd be nice if we can get someone to capture the data. Id do it but my VPN here makes it a bit more difficult.
[Vibrant Android Development] djf8:
The one click stock lock screen mod will cause JI5 to lock up at the Vibrant screen. =(

Guess we will have to wait for an update for it.
[Vibrant Android Development] YatimaMeiji:
Haven't exactly read the entire thread, but has anyone run any benchmarks yet, like Quadrant? Sure the gps locking extra fast is nice, but its kinda nice to have the lag issue fixed. So without further word, I'm sticking with my custom setup and wait for the next release.
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
If you are having issues, to get it to work. Uninstall kies, remove the directory, c:\program files\Samsung\Kies. Reboot, reinstall the linked Kies in this thread and it should work.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Its not like were going to leave their software stock or anything, we just want to take the good bits and move forwards.
[Vibrant Android Development] marsupial99:
Once again, the "Updated to Kies 1.5.3" is the problem. Install Kies 1.5.1 and don't let it update itself to 1.5.3. 1.5.1 works, 1.5.3 gives the error you mentioned. This I think is the 3rd and last time I'm typing this.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
If youre still around, do you have the packet stream that came from? Need to get the Encrypt and CRC codes
[Vibrant Android Development] rogerchew:
DO NOT UPGRADE TO KEIS 1.5.3!!! stay at 1.5.1!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
There is a way to get the zip file for the update, I just missed it though. If you go through the process of upgrading the firmware through Kies, it downloads the encrypted binary and then proceeds to unencrypt it and unpack it. It unpacks it in c:\user\appdata\temp\somtempname.zip around 188MB, just grab that file before it moves it. Voila. Update package.

[Vibrant Android Development] kcbboy:
yea I reinstalled kies and did exactly this and the firmware downloaded perfectly.
[Vibrant Android Development] Satmanshorty:
I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but under mobile network settings it now gives you the option to select network mode.

GSM/WCDMA (auto mode)

GSM only

WCDMA only
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
I have the ZIP file extracted, anyone got a place I can upload it?
[Vibrant Android Development] dalepa:
too good to be true!?
[Vibrant Android Development] dbm0361:
That has been there
[Vibrant Android Development] shardz:
thanks. i'll give it another go
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
JI2 Had this

GSM/ WCDMA = AUTO

GSM = 2G

WCDMA = 3G

So is the GPS fine superficially or does it start acting up once you're on the highway exiting etc. I think the biggest problem for me is when the phone thinks I'm exiting or entering the highway when I am not. Pissed me off real bad at times :)

4SHARED works well, just throw it up there with a free account
[Vibrant Android Development] outllaw:
I am having the same issue, this is a definate deal breaker for me :( this is sooo close to what i want as well
[Vibrant Android Development] SeanFloyd:
**** this, tried for the last hour..... reinstalled Kies, didn't update etc etc. still getting MTI launch errors when I connect the phone in Kies mode, whack
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Kies doesnt format your data, more than likely since it wasnt stock stock it screwed itself up when flashing over your modified or semimodified data and information.
[Vibrant Android Development] sxfx:
Hey guys I have the JI2 Firmware installed, and I still get update not supported. I know someone had the same problem here, can you point me to the tar file to odin so it works. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] outllaw:
Nope not the issue, went full 100% factory and it still aint working
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Here you go!! http://www.4shared.com/file/qYoXjAKC/tmpAFCFtmp.html
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
You odined back to stock and it still has crashes?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
TMO just sent me a DM on twitter in response to my question on why the update is only on Kies and not a OTA package.

They said it would be best to wait for the OTA. They didn't give me a ETA, but they did say that the Kies update might be for the International Vibrant since Kies isn't for the US.

Though, dont know how that could be since the file is for a T959
[Vibrant Android Development] thecoolcat:
Lag issue = Occasional freeze of the phone, especially when switching between apps (most notably, you have a new email that is arriving and at the same time you are trying to navigate in web page. The result is that the device seemingly hangs for a notable 2 or 3 seconds.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Grabbing now. Thanks.

(my work is going to hate me today, ive clogged their network all day. lol)

Kies problems

Downloaded Kies. Said that there updates available. Do I update? Tried to update before updating and get error messages. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] phillipxenxciel:
thx, now do i just update.zip this? i guess it can't be that easy, i will wait for the pros to test it out first
[Vibrant Android Development] n2ishun:
This is what the KIES software borks...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\DF62DC6DF7DC68C4693AEEFBBA5EEF74

I hadto dump all sorts of crap out of there to even get close to installing KIES once again.

It doesn't give an error now, it just says that it can't install.

Garbage program....I would strongly recommend not using it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Krylon, soon as I get this off here I planned on deodexing and reworking from there, are you able to deodex at work? If not I can throw up something for you
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Extract the file inside, it is an odin file.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
no, you can't just update.zip it. it'll be a tar file inside of it (ODIN FLASH)

I'll grab it, flash it, do a system dump when I get home, then create a update.zip for you, unless someone gets to it 1st.
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
I only run Linux, kind of a pain to updrade through a VM, almost got it though. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] nextgin:
Did that, and it still doesn't work. My Vibrant just keeps looping to "MTP Application" screen. I've uninstalled the drives, reinstalled them. Same thing with Kies. I use App Inventor with no problems. But my phone just keeps looping on this "MTP Application Initializing" screen.
[Vibrant Android Development] phillipxenxciel:
thx lot :D
[Vibrant Android Development] dbm0361:
So we can just extract this and use odin to update?
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
yes, you sure can.
[Vibrant Android Development] tjsynkral:
What's the current status of RyanZA Lagfix on the JI series roms?

I know you have to uninstall Lagfix before upgrading, but after the upgrade is complete can Lagfix be applied?
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
I am 3/4 of the way done installing the f/w through Kies, didn't want to lose my data.
[Vibrant Android Development] ShinyBuddha:
Update worked just fine here. Am Running Kies 1.5.1.10074_45

Checked for firmware and this is what popped up...

Model Name: SGH-T959

Current Version: PDA:JFD/Phone:JFD (<-stock with no modifications)

Latest Version: PDA:JI5/Phone:JI5

This is what is now on the phone after update...

About Phone:

Firmware Version: 2.1 Update1

Baseband Version T959UVJI5

Kernel Version: 2.6.29

Build number: Eclair.UVJI5

I'm assuming download took a long time due to everyone hammering the server =)

Will post back with more info but Quadrant is still the same score as my previous stock version (~900).

Update: GPS works without crashing Navigation (or the phone) like it used to. Didn't test driving but received a GPS lock within ~17 seconds. GPS placed me within ~400ft. of my location. I didn't wait too long for the GPS almanac to update (only left Map open long enough to get a fix) but I'm hoping the drive home tonight will fix that.

Also, d/l speed using the FCC test app appears a little faster than average. Was getting ~3.0MBps now ~3.6MBps.
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Should work fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Ooooo....Full bars!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
New modem ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] sheek360:
Hopefully someone can package the latest on a .zip!

Ill wait. Kies isn't playing nice atm
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
ugh, 4shared is running SLOW!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
I know, I was running the one from j14, it was pretty good. Going to test the new speeds on this one and see what it does. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] aloxotls:
I do not know if anybody mentioned it yet but have you tried taking out you external SD card and then plugging your phone in?
[Vibrant Android Development] scmurphy13:
Can't sync Facebook contacts.
[Vibrant Android Development] nextgin:
Yeah, tried that also. I guess Kies is uber selective. LOL
[Vibrant Android Development] DuckmanEG:
To odin. Use 512 .pit i assume. All the odin stuff i done before has had the .pit included.
[Vibrant Android Development] 2sh0rt:
uncheck sync and then recheck it and it should work. i had the same problem and this fixed for me
[Vibrant Android Development] 2sh0rt:
quadrant just gave me 875
[Vibrant Android Development] acjames:
I just booted to recovery and cleared everything and rebooted.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dammit2Hell:
Ok, so I finally got it working. No matter what I tried on my laptop, I couldn't get Kies to load after I reinstalled without crashing. Got home and loaded Kies on my desktop (win 7 64bit same as laptop) and skipped the update and updated the firmware with no problems. GPS locked in about 40 seconds right to my front door. Compass works great too. Finally I love my Vibrant again.
[Vibrant Android Development] scmurphy13:
Not working for me. It won't even let me set it up.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Files included:

cache.rfs

factoryfs.rfs

modem.bin

zImage (Kernel)

Modem was build 9/22

everything else was built at 09/21

The reason all your data stays there is because it's not formating your data ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
Which option did you pick to clear everything and how do you enter recovery?
[Vibrant Android Development] chadti99:
So is this a beta release or a final release from Samsung? Do they provide a change log?
[Vibrant Android Development] murse:
Can I use odin to install this directly over JI2? Or do I need to go back to stock first?
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Looks like a final release, being it was sent out on Kies.
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
you should be able to odin it. use ver 1.3
[Vibrant Android Development] demo23019:
OK no pit file was supplied i flashed just firmware ,seems OK

is that fine?
[Vibrant Android Development] aohmer:
Haptic works fine on my phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dammit2Hell:
Same here.
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Yes, you're good.
[Vibrant Android Development] outllaw:
I think the only consistent broken thing is the account syncing with facebook twitter etc
[Vibrant Android Development] kas21:
Me! Haptic feedback worked after the update. It worked after root. It broke after ext2 lagfix. Toggling it in settings has no effect. Rebooting has no effect. Suggestions?

I cannot say for sure that the lagfix broke it. Could have been a coincidence.

I used the OCLF from the market.
[Vibrant Android Development] mistical:
Quick question: I have already unapplied OCLF, do I need to remove EXT2 Tools as well?
[Vibrant Android Development] shardz:
ok now flashed successfully to JDF to JI5. Via Kies 1.5.1 (DO NOT USE the updated 1.5.3 THANKS for this advice)
[Vibrant Android Development] digitaltoddy:
Gahhh

So I applied this update and my GPS won't lock.. I turned off Use Wireless Networks, get nothing when I run a GPS Test app or when I connect to Maps. Running stock TouchWiz, I tried to get into the LbsTest mode thinking the fix I applied manually before the update caused the problem and *#*#1472365#*#* doesn't seem to be working to get me into LbsTest mode. Help!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] jayprime:
Ive got kings kernal #2 do i need to odin back fo stock kernal?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dammit2Hell:
Facebook and Twitter synch working fine. Anyone else notice that Media Hub works now too??
[Vibrant Android Development] scmurphy13:
Did you do anything special to get FB to work? When I go into Accounts & Sync, select FB under contacts integration and try to sign in, it tells me it's unable to.
[Vibrant Android Development] n2ishun:
Fixed KIES (well, kinda, was able to reinstall anyway).

It took deleting nearly 800 registry entries (try doing that one at a time).

Will not attempt to update via KIES....it's too frikkin buggy and crash prone.
[Vibrant Android Development] acjames:
no vibrate on my phone at all either

Dont know when it happened but i have the one click lag fix too.

Edit: My SD card doesnt show up on my PC. Internal or external...

Edit2: lag fix kills vibrate and internal/external sd showing on pc
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
I read you can use ODIN to flash from wherever you are. You can get the .zip of the update here:

http://www.4shared.com/file/qYoXjAKC/tmpAFCFtmp.html

There's a .tar file inside that you can use with ODIN. Mind you, I've tried none of this, just relaying what I've read so far.
[Vibrant Android Development] m4r10:
Won't work for me. it gets stuck at the download screen and errors out every time at downloading binary files.:(
[Vibrant Android Development] 30Glock:
ok what about the Pit file
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Use the .512 Pit File.

I flashed JI5 through ODIN just fine. (with a ODIN crash of course) everything running smooth so far, no data loss as I stated in my previous post the reason why.
[Vibrant Android Development] rembonjaski:
Just confirming another successful upgrade from stock to JI5. As cautioned in the previous posts, I installed Kies but did not allow it to apply the update (to the software, not the phone).

Message popped up saying that firmware upgrade was available. Clicked it, waited, phone rebooted, done. The download and upgrade was slow, though (Kies in general seems to be slow).

The state of the phone is just as it was before the upgrade except that my Daily Briefing app was reset. All data appears to be intact. I'm stuck inside so can't test the GPS, but it seems as though the phone is a bit zippier (could just be my imagination though).
[Vibrant Android Development] shardz:
now this wont work for me as well. after inputting the last *, the dialer text input screen blanks out and i cannot dial the complete number.

now i am new to LBSTestMode. did not ever try it prior to JI5, but i would imagine it wouldve worked since i am on stock rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] JimDog:
FB syncing

Hey for those that can't get Facebook to sync, I just want to give you a heads up. It may not have anything to do with this update. This could be just total bizzaro coincidence but I am on STOCK T-Mo software (JFD) and today my FB syncing stopped working.

I got a "FB session has timed out" notification this morning but every time I've tried to re-enter my login info it fails. I even removed the account and re-added it and it still won't log me in. Again, this started TODAY and I'm on STOCK firmware (contemplating applying this update).
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
I saw a post not too long ago indicating it isn't necessary. That's what I gleaned from it.

any .512 pit file??
[Vibrant Android Development] FRuiTBoOT:
Finally gotit working, Uninstalled and reinstalled Kies probably about 5 times. had to go into Programs(x86) and deleted all Kies folders and files. Reinstalled the UK version of Kies and Bam!! It worked flawlessly.

I did not update Kies when it asked.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
krichek on Android Forums came up with this...see if it works.

Download LauncherPro, you can uninstall it as soon as you are done testing (I do). Then when you hit the home key, choose launcher pro. When you see the new home screen, long press anywhere on a empty spot on the screen. When the menu comes up, choose shortcuts, then activities, then scroll through the list till you get to LbsTestMode. Click the arrow, then select the first entry. It should read, com.sec.android.app.lbstestmode.LbsTestMode

Label it whatever you like, I'm lazy and just keep the default. Now you have a shortcut on the screen to LbsTestMode. Fast and convienent. When you are done simply uninstall Launcher Pro and that's it.
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
Found another new 'feature':

In Gallery, you can now pinch to zoom instead of having to use the + and - button. Nothing major but great for convenience :).
[Vibrant Android Development] aohmer:
my settings menu is still black weird.
[Vibrant Android Development] flameinthefire:
mine is black but it has the like maroon shade

so does my status bar... weird
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
my is still black as well. :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] ookas:
i couldn't either before even installing J15, i flashed back to stock rom and tried to add my contacts while i waited for Keis to d/l... is it just simply a problem with the network connecting to fb in general? and not necessarily a problem w/ the rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] 30Glock:
Thank you, This worked.
[Vibrant Android Development] futuralabs87:
help

Cant install kies. Problem is failed to extract one of the files. Using windows xp
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
Before I flashed to JI5, Facebook sync wasn't working for me, it said "Facebook sync service is experiencing some problem at the moment, try again later."
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
beachin'! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] nastynateyj:
First of all, you guys are amazing.... thank you all for the help.

I did the JI5 update through Kies successfully and it all seems to working well. This is what I had to do:

- Flash to previous ROM with no lag fix (had RyanZA one click lag fix)

- Downloaded and installed Home Switcher from market

- Opened stock TwLauncher with Home Switcher

- Enabled Kies USB mode Applications > USB Settings > Samsung Kies

- Backed out to home screen

- Started up Kies (On Windows 7 64bit)

- Connect Phone

- Declined Kies software update

- Clicked on firmware update through Kies

Done.

Everything seems to be working fine but I have all the bloatware back on my phone, which leads me to my question:

With the JI5 update, can I root my phone now using the same One Click Root (by TGA_Gunnman) that I did with the stock firmware?

Thanks in advance guys.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Are you suppose to have root access to upgrade your firmware via kies.
[Vibrant Android Development] acjames:
Root will still work but the lag fix will disable vibrate and you wont be able to access your ext/int sd on your pc...
[Vibrant Android Development] FRuiTBoOT:
I confirm that this does work. Rerooted!
[Vibrant Android Development] shardz:
thanks. it worked... although why would anyone want to uninstall launcherpro :)

and yes the phone does seem zippier now...
[Vibrant Android Development] digitaltoddy:
Does your GPS get a lock? I can't for some reason.. if it does, would you mind posting your settings?
[Vibrant Android Development] djf8:
Myspace sync seems to be broken.
[Vibrant Android Development] wangjt:
I ran the OCLF from market. It broke vibrate. I can't remember if it was after ext2 or the OCLF V2.1+ itself but vibrated started to work again after uninstalling OCLF. Pretty sure it's lag fix related at this point since a few others reported it breaking too.

Also, someone was wondering about quadrant scores:

Without Lag Fix, I got about 880

With Lag Fix, about 2200s (but broke vibrate).

GPS took about 30 seconds to lock the first time. Locked 11/12 satellites with an accuracy around 20ft, give or take.

New shortcuts I stumbled upon and didn't see it in this thread yet...

Long press home key = task manager

Long press menu key = same as search button (dont know why)

Long press search key = google search by voice
[Vibrant Android Development] shardz:
i just got my vibrant 2 weeks ago so you'll have to forgive me if i dont understand what it means to get a lock. tell me what means to get a lock for you and i'll test it with the new JI5 firmware.
[Vibrant Android Development] demo23019:
Think i found a bug.

Is anyone else having issues with USB storage access?

I have to keep going to USB settings and changing back and forth

in order to get USB storage access back
[Vibrant Android Development] rogerchew:
also market lag....opening the market takes eons to load, search, etc.
[Vibrant Android Development] digitaltoddy:
Are you able to get Maps to show your location with GPS enabled / wireless networks disabled? I can't... I was using the workaround before the new firmware update, now I can't get it to show my location / lock onto any satellites with GPSTest..
[Vibrant Android Development] koreanskater:
I also have this problem. It seems the only way to access your files is through Kies =_=
[Vibrant Android Development] rogerchew:
does this completely reset any work around we did for the gps issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] shardz:
yes i was able to get the blue arrow (only the blue arrow without the blue circle) to show on Maps after disabling wireless networks.
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
Is anyone else's wifi not working? Like it connects to wifi just fine but will not transmit any data?
[Vibrant Android Development] dex1701:
Grr. Not liking this update at all. First, I can't get USB storage access to work. Second, I wasn't having any major lag issues before and now I am...big time. Just about everything I do "stutters."

I have the updater's remorse. :(
[Vibrant Android Development] wangjt:
in layman's term,

1. turn on GPS in location/security

2. open up maps

3. when that satellite icon on your status bar stops blinking, it's locked.

or just download GPS test from market
[Vibrant Android Development] shardz:
this is working fine for me. i have it set on Mass Storage and 'Mount' USB Connectivity. after this i can see the int/ext storage in My Computer. Win 7 x64.
[Vibrant Android Development] digitaltoddy:
Yea, it nuked those settings and added new ones that don't seem to work at all! I was at least able to get it to work, although not too accurate.. now I can't even get the GPS to lock.
