[Vibrant Android Development] demo23019:
now im double posting i have to sleep lol
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
lol this sucks...people were saying yea lin pack 9 and quad 900 for 2.1 but wait until 2.2!! and now thats not even looking like much a improvement in the scores LOL people were saying the scores will be better than the N1....eitherway it just proove linpack needs to tests other cpu things.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Who knows. I may wind up selling my Galaxy and just getting a nexus to be honest. I love the phone. but its not up to par on speed. 650 bucks for a slow phone due to improper IO is not acceptable. I was in a sprint store checking out the EPIC. It seemed to be way more responsive. Who knows. We should just all make a huge petition to ATT/TMO demanding firmware upgrades. or some sort of refund. Because, how the hell a N1 beating a brand new phone (Plus all the issues) They obviously pre-released this galaxy. Prob rushed it out. hence all the issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] demo23019:
i came from nexus one this is soo much better

multi touch sucks on the N1

GPU doesn't compare

Big deal higher linpack score just using the phone normal you wouldn't even notice this

This IMO is faster than an N1 even only being on 2.1

BTW i cant sleep

also here are galaxy S score with 2.2

[Vibrant Android Development] briankao1992:
I just read why the linpack scores on Snapdragons are much higher than ones on the Hummingbird.

"my personal view on this is: the hummingbird is faster than the snapdragon in most tasks and about 3-4 times faster in 3d graphics. linpack is just a bad benchmark because it only tests a small and very specific subset of cpu instructions which are of little importance in everyday tasks. i really don't understand why some people just get so fed up with some imaginary number. just read the comments on linpack in the market. it's just completely stupid and insane!" --- jodue

[Vibrant Android Development] 2sh0rt:
That's what i did. after the update crapped out 3 times i said screw it and hit cancel. after the update window went away then a message popped up saying "new firmware available please click here" i clicked, it launched, it upgraded, phone rebooted and now im up and running...
[Vibrant Android Development] FRuiTBoOT:
I did the Kies update, Went to the TW UI, Selected Kies from USB settings and when I start updating the Firmware is says.

"MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate has stopped working"

P.O.S!

I tried the Firmware update with these different installed kernels:

King Kernel = same results as above

JAC OC/UV CF Kernel = same results as above

Stock Vibrant Kernel = same results as above

Any ideas anyone?
[Vibrant Android Development] 2sh0rt:
JI5 comes direct from samsung. IT IS NOT FROYO its the promised gps fix along with a bunch of other improvements.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dammit2Hell:
Clicking on driver recovery in the Kies menu allowed my to connect
[Vibrant Android Development] Dammit2Hell:
Got my phone to connect to kies but I am getting the same "MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate has stopped working" error.

Stock firmware, no root.
[Vibrant Android Development] velocd:
Seems like i have to slide the lock screen much further that I did before. Im in a gov building right now so I cannot test the gps but I do have a much better signal than I did before.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
ever since JI2 have we had to slide further..
[Vibrant Android Development] velocd:
Ok, I was on JFD still.
[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
As info the JI2 version of the MobileAP mod works with JI5. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Those coming from JFD will find this stuff fixed / new. However, this was mostly all was the case already when I flashed to JI2. Can anyone with who had previously flashed / experienced JI2 say what the difference is between that and say JI4 / JI5?
[Vibrant Android Development] frankencat:
Download is sloowwwww.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Anyone find a direct link for JI5? Packet sniff while you kies :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Could really use a dump from some of the earlier adopters to find out whats changed and start stripping it down.
[Vibrant Android Development] mobilebone:
Thanx. That worked.
[Vibrant Android Development] 30Glock:
Kies taking really long to connect to phone after upgrade, Thinking I should uninstall then reinstall and skip update.
[Vibrant Android Development] demo23019:
because you're probably downloading the newest version of kies update. You dont need to update kies to 1.5.3 it takes forever. Just do firmware update
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Somene packet dump. It should look like http://fus.samsungmobile.com/phone_binary/
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
^^This.

Seeing as how Kies refuses to install correctly on my work PC.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Worst case Krylon ive got my system nandroiding now, I can always nuke mine and dump it and nandroid back
[Vibrant Android Development] 12paq:
Should I undo OCLF? Not the root I know the update breaks the root. But what about the lag fix with all the files restructured?

Caution says to un-lag fix and the un-root then try for the update. I already have the GPS fix and a couple of mods like wifi tether and a battery mod, wonder if its worth the time...?

...and since the only way to get Kies on T-Moble USA is to download the British version, after the update and getting the GPS nav fix, will I have to drive on the left? ....kidding.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Yeah, that would be great if you could do that. Stupid Kies. POS software should have never been made. LOL

I sent a tweet to samfirmware to get it posted on their site as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Im already talking to him on MSN. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Is he close or just starting, cause if its about to go up then I dont have to nuke my setup to start working lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
He's trying. The direct link to the zip did not work. we both tried.

Still looking. All it takes a packet dump when you are updating. i already posted the url syntax :)
[Vibrant Android Development] frankencat:
Yeah, I am going to wait a bit. I am not liking the Kies software and I don't feel like nuking my setup just yet.

BTW, we need to make sure there is a way back to stock for those that need it.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
awesome, thanks man :)
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Im always on it.

If anyone is packet dumping. It will look something like this

fus.samsungmobile.com/Phone_Binary/9/GT-I9000_I9000XXJPH_I9000OXAJPH_I9000XXJPH_I9000XXJPH_XX_XEU.zip.enc
[Vibrant Android Development] demo23019:
So was the compass actually fixed in leaked firmware like people said?

Because its still doesn't work
[Vibrant Android Development] 12paq:
I'm with you. a little waiting never hurts and a lot of rushing always does.

and when will T-mobile get there head out of their #** and do an OTA? Kies blows.

I'm more comfortable with the Devs here.
[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
I've got JI4 and it won't allow me to upgrade.
[Vibrant Android Development] joonsim:
Can I still get the OTA update after upgrading to this firmware through kies?

I will try it if that is safe to receive ota update.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
mine has worked since JI2
[Vibrant Android Development] phillipxenxciel:
MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate has stopped working D:

Guess i will try again when im home
[Vibrant Android Development] flameinthefire:
i got the same thing
[Vibrant Android Development] Dammit2Hell:
Still getting it too. I uninstalled, reinstalled and started getting error messages when Kies would start causing it to crash. I uninstalled again, ran ccleaner installed and am running the update. Will post back if it works this time.
[Vibrant Android Development] inverseflux:
I've fallen in the realm of selecting Kies when plugging the device in, and the Win7 64bit OS just stares back at me.

Hmmm, rebooting.

Edit: Reboot didn't fix this, but not having TWLauncher as default home did appear to be the issue. Updating from JFD now.
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Try running kies as Admin.
[Vibrant Android Development] marsupial99:
I was getting this error on my win7 32-bit and winxp computers with updated Kies. I downloaded Kies again (UK version of course) and installed it on another xp computer but this time I did not install the update to Kies and just run the firmware update and it completed without errors. I'm not sure that it was a different computer that did it this time or the fact that I didn't update Kies before updating firmware thoug. Try uninstalling Kies, reinstalling it again and running it again but this time cancel the kies update and try the firmware update. Worth trying.
[Vibrant Android Development] 2sh0rt:
As far as gps goes i just used it on my way to work. I turned it on sitting in my truck in the driveway. It locked in about 45 seconds. I pluged in my address to work in maps, turned on navigation and then began to drive. My wife called me about 10 minutes into my drive while my nav was on and it switched over perfectly no crash. I hung up with her and it went right back to nav. i let it run about 5 more minutes then shut off nav and switch to my tracks and began recording. I got to work, outta my truck walked to get some lunch then walked to my store. after entering and putting my stuff away in my room, i stopped recording and turned my gps off. It picked up my track exactly even showing me walking around inside my store and the restaurant. Seems to me like the GPS is working like it should. Idk what else you guys do with your GPS but im satisfied that it works correctly at this point!
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Any progress bud? I see they just posted a new i9000 firmware
[Vibrant Android Development] mobilebone:
For those who are trying to remove the bloatware with Titanium backup: do you see the entry for Telenav and Gogo Wifi?
[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
Can someone answer this question? Has anyone updated with lagfix still installed?
[Vibrant Android Development] georgegreco86:
UNDO UNDO UNDO - Better safe than sorry ya know!
[Vibrant Android Development] inverseflux:
Undoing lagfix now, see if that is point of failure.

Edit: Running as admin did not work(win7-64bit)

Edit Edit: Removal of oclf lagfix is a no go(on JFD).

Edit Edit Edit: Odin flashed to original JFD, uninstalled Kies. Reinstalled Kies outside of Program Files, canceled update in Kies. Firmware successfully downloading now.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dammit2Hell:
Will do, Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
Screw it, gonna ODIN back to the original firmware and then see if Kies gives me the updated firmware.
[Vibrant Android Development] sakojpa:
I try to update on clear unrooted JI4 - no result. Unsupported device. And my Kies crash with MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate has stopped working X: too

I think that it looks for Kies like unsupported device because I update firware via Odin, not via Kies :) But I can
[Vibrant Android Development] demo23019:
Yea its fine after i re flashed it again.

Stupid me the first time i flashed and tried changing my battery icon with one from other thread and it screwed up and my phone wouldn't load to desktop.

So i took an nadroid backup from previous stock update and loaded that and by doing so it removed all the new software,fixes ..ect

but im fine now

Compass, and GPS work great
[Vibrant Android Development] outllaw:
i was having the thunder issue too, so i contacted live support on samsungs end... and get this, as i am looking at my kies saying upgrade this dbag at samsung is telling me there is NO update available. its like really? then wtf. trying on an xp machine now lol
[Vibrant Android Development] adamboyd83:
Ugh I hate that kies is only on PC. Im on a Macbook.
[Vibrant Android Development] inverseflux:
As am I, Bootcamp is your friend.
[Vibrant Android Development] KerryG:
I have never got Kies to connect to my device. I have both Win7/64 and Win7/32, have tried multiple USB drivers, but the result is always the same. The screen rotates between the MTP Application screen and a black screen while Kies just sits there oblivious to anything being plugged in.
[Vibrant Android Development] stillyone:
Upgraded fine via Kies, one problem I have is I cannot add twitter or Facebook accounts to sync, anybody with the same problem
[Vibrant Android Development] thecoolcat:
What else does it fix?

From reading the posts I see that GPS is (for the most part?) fixed! How about the lag? Can one of the early adopters chime in, please?
[Vibrant Android Development] CLShortFuse:
somebody package the gps files...

/system/lib/libgps.so

/system/lib/libsecgps.so

/system/lib/libclientgps.so

/system/etc/jupiter.xml

/system/etc/gps.conf

/system/bin/agpsd

/data/gps/secgps.conf

/data/xtra.bin
[Vibrant Android Development] Bronk93:
I can connect to kies fine. I hit the upgrade icon in kies and it says something like cant use widgets while firmware is upgrading. I click ok then it takes me to another screen that says no upgrade is available.
[Vibrant Android Development] frankencat:
I can do it. Just waiting for someone to post up the files.

BTW CLShortFuse, there are some additional files in that list compared to the one I packaged up from the JI2. How did you come up with that file list?
[Vibrant Android Development] darkknight49:
true, but its still not the same. Thats why i have a pc and a macbook :D
[Vibrant Android Development] adamboyd83:
Yeah but its a pain in the ass. Seeing that i dont have a spare copy of windows sitting around or the time to download one. Hopefully some one will post a flashable zip on here soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
Dang it!

Downgraded to original firmware, kies says upgrade is available and when it goes to download the files, the box just closes!
[Vibrant Android Development] outllaw:
well after installing kies without updating it to our xp machine (both laptops are win 7 home premium 64 bit) kies is currently updating my Vibrant, why they cant just make kies not suck is beyond me, hopefully this update will be full of win, update will be coming shortly after these messages
[Vibrant Android Development] inverseflux:
Stepped outside for a smoke. 3sec lock, 60meters. I'd consider it fixed.

/chime
[Vibrant Android Development] sakojpa:
The same **** for my I9000. But T959 still doesn't want to be "supported"
[Vibrant Android Development] wangjt:
so I did the update... GPS is fixed now... I get a lock on 11/12 satellites.

However, I noticed that my haptic feedback was not working. The setting is still enabled... but after about 15 min of messing around, I realized it's much worse than that. My phone no longer vibrates at all. I missed a few incoming calls cuz I usually leave my phone on vibrate at work but now it doesn't do anything.

Is this happening to anyone else?
[Vibrant Android Development] samoelito:
so am i.. tried parallels but it does not work. :(
[Vibrant Android Development] presence06:
downloaded and isntalled Kies on Win7/32 and it installed the samsung Android phone driver but fails MTP and sits on the CDC driver. Kies won't find my phone and the phone keeps flashing between MTP and home screen/black screen.
[Vibrant Android Development] velocd:
I was just typing a txt msg in swype and its horribly inaccurate. So i tested the android keyboard and I get random letters that pop in while im typing. Example would be if I hit n I get an "n" followed by 4 "z". The letters arent even next to each other so I know Im not fat fingering it.

Anyone else seen this happen?
[Vibrant Android Development] flexxoo:
yep definetly the upgrade for kies is the one that's breaking the connection for the upgrade for our phones but if you dont upgrade kies you will be ok!!!!!!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] 2sh0rt:
Im still not familiar with this lag issue... explain to me what to look for and i'll let you know whether its there or not...
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
for those that are currently upgrading through kies, please do a packet trace and post the link to the file. This way we can decrypt it and get the files posted.
[Vibrant Android Development] zaphod_fl:
Running on J12... says it cannot upgrade it. Have to go back to stock. Argh.
[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
Thanks for sharing that! :)

I uninstalled kies, reinstalled, and this time didn't get the updates. Now the binary files are actually downloading.

Hopefully, the rest of the process works ok.
[Vibrant Android Development] CLShortFuse:
Vibrant uses a different set of GPS files than i9000 and Captivate

If they're there i want them, if no, no worries.

Also, I disassembled the .so files
[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
Whew! Got the upgrade. What a PITA! :p
[Vibrant Android Development] sxfx:
For those of you running mac's and have no real way of running windows, there is a program called Virtualbox, http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox

It is free. it will allow you to install a copy of windows from within your mac, and it is very user friendly.

Im not really good at explaining so it might sound like its a lot harder then it really is, I recommend checking the link out, if you think kies is something you really need to run on your computer.
[Vibrant Android Development] kolyan:
does this come with all the crapware ?
[Vibrant Android Development] dbm0361:
so if you are using JI4 you have to down grade?
[Vibrant Android Development] outllaw:
so i got it installed and booted,

issue 1 nothing was erased during the flash kinda unnerving

Gps decided to start working just after the post
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Of course it comes with ****mylifeware :)

It is a release from Samsung
[Vibrant Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
U turn usb debug mode on? That fixed it for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] presence06:
****ing windows 7 will not install the Drivers.. HELP
[Vibrant Android Development] rackemup2473:
I done the update through kies and now when the phone boots i get

The process andriod.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

[Vibrant Android Development] rUsTyRuSs:
Any idea if the accurate battery mods work?
[Vibrant Android Development] gongonzabarfarbin:
So I updated through Kies and now it won't boot. It goes through the boot animation and then just a black screen. The soft keys still light when I touch the screen. Anybody have any ideas on this?
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
We wont know till a dump gets made lol
[Vibrant Android Development] kas21:
Kies just sits at "Connecting the device..." and never gets any further. I had updated Kies, uninstalled, reinstalled. Any suggestions?

Win7 x86

Odin'd back to stock Vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
Same process here. Waited on that stupid kies upgrade to download and install the the binary download bombed out every time. Uninstalled kies and re-installed WITHOUT doing the update and everything downloading now, no issues
[Vibrant Android Development] Demiurgic:
I have been trying all day to get kies to work, I even upgraded to 1.5.3. I finally said screw it and uninstalled it and looked for a different source. I think the kies_1.5.1 download from samung.com/ae or whatever country is jacked up bad. I went to samsungapps.com changed the country to UK and middle of screen is a download kies link. That kies is a kies_win.exe and it actually works on win 7.

summary

- download kies from samsungapps.com
[Vibrant Android Development] phillipxenxciel:
woah, there are alot of issues in this whole update proccess, specially ppl having problem after they get thru the update(i couldnt even get thru the update download), i aint doing this, this is the worst update planned for a phone i ever seen, samsung im dissapoint
[Vibrant Android Development] scmurphy13:
I redownloaded Kies from samsungapps.com. All I get now is "Connecting the device..."
[Vibrant Android Development] :
So anyone haven problems saying phone connecting and it isnt connecting what i did was restart my computer and it worked again btw i didnt upgrade to the new samsung kies update hope it works

[Vibrant Android Development] Demiurgic:
I put usb into kies mode went to home screen, plugged in and it recognized the phone right away. samsungapps.com worked for me on 64bit win 7 but might not work for everyone. I also uninstalled it and went into my docs/apps and delete any samsung folders that were sticking around too.
[Vibrant Android Development] acjames:
Now my phone only boots to a black screen. Wonder ****ing full.
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
What issues are yuo talking about I have been following this thread and almost every "issue" I have seen mentioned was about GETTING the update. I havent seen anything negative about after the update was applied.

Can you point to the issues your worried about? I just flashed mine and dont see any issues so far except that I lost root and got the bloatware back, which will ALWAYS happen when you upgrade to a vendors firmware not a custom rom
[Vibrant Android Development] Flak_Munky:
Did you have Voodoo lag fix enabled before you updated?

If so, you will probably have to follow this (found in sombionix's Bionix1.3 thread):

Did You Flash Something Before Disabling Voodoo? Then This Fix is For You.

So you forgot to disable the voodoo lagfix before you flashed a new rom and now you're getting an error, similar to the one posted below. Even Odin won't allow you to flash back to stock. Well, pay close attention and with some luck, you'll be good as rain...or something like that.

1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.

2. Extract the files.

3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.

4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.

5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.

6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.

7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.

8. Now, pull your battery.

9. Download the 'True stock 2.1 firmware for the vibrant'.

10. Extract the files.

11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.

12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.

13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.

14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine! BAM!

[Vibrant Android Development] ajftl:
Sprint is releasing a update for epic tomorrow. Gonna wait for that. .
[Vibrant Android Development] outllaw:
I would HIGHLY reccommend that anyone looking to undergo this update removes any lagfixes they have installed and FACTORY RESET the phone PRIOR to letting kies have its way with your firmware.

This should make it a smooth process and avoid any unforseen issues.

Just remember to Titanium Backup before you dive in to the reset ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
FINALLY! Thank you infinity
[Vibrant Android Development] frankencat:
Just have to figure out how to unpack it.
