Well never charged so fast before..

What is so special about bionix 1.4? What makes it so good?
[Vibrant Android Development] djquick:
Well, it literally flies through the screens as well as launches apps. I mean, there is no lag what so ever, and I don't even have a lagfix or OC/UV kernel, just plain stock kernel. Now what I did was flashed bionix 1.5, then flashed back to 1.4 because I wanted to test the JI6 modem. I mean in all honesty, EVERY single custom rom on here is wonderful in their own way; to me it's just really personal preference. I mean, what might work for me might not work for someone else, and vice-versa. There's nothing that is "outstandingly special" about bionix 1.4 than there would be any other rom like say Eugene's (and believe me, I used all of Eugene's awesome roms; even when I had the Behold II); I was just referencing that bionix 1.4 was the rom I am using.
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Thanks so much for the information. Do you think its worth the time flashing?
[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
I flashed JI6 over JI5 following the instructions in the OP without issue.

Wish I could get a JAC kernel for it! Come on, Samsung, give us the Kernel source!
[Vibrant Android Development] djquick:
Well, if you want your phone to be snappy, absolutely. But again, not every rom is for everyone. From my experience, just test different roms and mods and what not.
[Vibrant Android Development] ^Fs:
Can I flash this from JI4 without having to do a wipe? or do I need the PIT?
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
true..i don't wanna be flashing often because i dnt want my device bricked..so thats why i got to make sure its worth the effort. When I had the n1, i tried cyanogen finally when google gave up on the issues and it was great. Then it started being buggy here and there, so I moved to the nightlys. Got tired of flashing each night :D..go figure...so I tried Enom rom. It was the best, fast, stable, battery efficient, customisable and feature rich rom ever..

I guess I just want the same for the Vibrant, mainly missing my desire bar and mobile hotspot and long battery life from the n1 :D..I am hoping and praying bionix will be that Enom Rom..:rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] djquick:
Honestly, it's pretty hard to brick the Vibrant and I'm sure other flash junkies will tell you the same:D (God bless odin). I've literally flashed every custom rom made by sombionix and Eugene respectively.
[Vibrant Android Development] t1n0m3n:
I flashed JFD, and repartioned, then immediately flashed JI6.
[Vibrant Android Development] slighpcs:
JAC's kernel on JI6

If you would like to use JAC's kernel (I would assume Kingklick as well), heres how I went about it. You must be rooted with ROM Manager and a working Android SDK installed. *I hold no responsibility if you brick your phone, so please use these instructions at your own risk. ;)

*There is an issue starting bluetooth

- (Fixed) Bluetooth issue related to a previous revision of btld, you can find the Old_Kernel_Support_for_new_builds.zip repackaged with the proper btld file (pulled from eugene373's Frankin-Final.zip) below.

1.) Download and copy Old_Kernel_Support_for_new_builds_btfix.zip from this thread here as well as Vibrant_OCUV_CWM_v1.1.zip from this thread to /sdcard/download

2.) Boot into Recovery Mode from within ROM Manager

3.) Scroll down to the partitions menu and mount both /system as well as /sdcard

4.) Connect to the terminal via "adb shell"

5.) Gain root assess via the command "su"

6.) Run the command "unzip /sdcard/download/Old_Kernel_Support_for_new_builds_btfix.zip -d /system/"

7a.) When asked to replace files answer with "A" for all (This will replace the back-ported files)

7.) Unmount /system via ROM Manager menu

8.) Go back to the previous menu via "+++++Go Back+++++"

9.) Install JAC's kernel by selecting "- install zip from sdcard", then "- choose zip from sdcard"

10.) Scroll down to and click on "- download/", then click on "- Vibrant_OCUV_CWM_v1.1.zip"

11.) Wait for the reboot and your on the new kernel

All is well for me so far! :cool:

[Vibrant Android Development] theghazi:
I was on stock, gps never worked, use one click laf fix, put gps fix from j12, gps never worked, changed the rom to franin-twiz to 3 and 4 and now final, gps never worked, so i decided to go with this JI6 using odin, and still gps doesnt freaking work. now i need to do what am i doing wrong.

how can i use to file to bring the device as it was born new, like everything factory, what setting to use on odin... like partition etc? please advise.

I dont know why my gps doesnt work, it has worked before in frankin once for 10 minutes and then quite.

now sometime when i use gps test application, or navigation it craches the phone, and reboots.

thanks for replying guys, i can use some help
[Vibrant Android Development] sumasage:
Follow instruction on first post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475 to restore to stock. Test your GPS once you are running stock to see how it goes. Upgrade to JI6 via odin and see if it will fix your gps. If not i would suggest take it to Tmo store and get a new one. Make sure you odin it back to stock before taking it to Tmo. Good luck
[Vibrant Android Development] canadafast:
No GPS Improvements, JI4 was much better

How were you able to tar the file? When I downloaded JI6 from samfirmware.com and unzipped it, it was not in the tar form. Then I tried to tar it myself but it didn't work.

Anyways I was able to flash it successfully from your download link and it worked for me. But great disappointment, no GPS improvements, I had to first run GPS Status and GPS Test to get it to lock for my NDrive GPS software and it took like 5 mins to get a poor fix and then after 2 more mins the reception was strong.

The JI4 was much better since I was able to get a poor fix with-in a minute and then the strong reception after like 2 mins.

There is also another issue, if the phone is inside the silicone protective case then it takes longer to get a GPS fix.

I am really really disappointed with Samsung, in terms of customer service, after sales support and product quality I give samsung 0 out of 10, given that the price of Vibrant is only $150 less than a quality Apple, Blackberry or a Nokia product.

I had a Nokia x6 before this phone and I just loved Nokia's OVI Maps, which was totally free and accurate mapping and the gps would get a fix with-in a minute everytime I used it and was accurate upto 5 metres.

UNLESS SAMSUNG COMES UP WITH A FULL PROOF GPS FIX AND FORYO UPDATE WITHOUT ANY BUGS I WILL SELL THE PHONE AND NEVER EVEN THINK OF BUYING SAMSUNG PHONE AGAIN.
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Just sucks because Samsung..will ...never...ever...see ...this...just added stress we don't need in our lives. Now we know.
[Vibrant Android Development] canadafast:
Didn't add stress to ur life buddy, did u a favor cause the world is better off having a

3rd class Samsung product
[Vibrant Android Development] kas21:
Do you need to "un-lagfix" before using Odin? Running JI5 w/ OCLF v1.
[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
Yeah really, and he is complaining after running leaked software that Samsung never intended him to use... seems appropriate that they will never read this. The world goes on.
[Vibrant Android Development] djquick:
So go buy another Nokia x6 and let the professionals do their work.......eh!
[Vibrant Android Development] canadafast:
Incase u haven't read my comments well enough to understand them, I am complaining about Samsung's customer service, after sales support and product quality I give samsung 0 out of 10, and that is a fact when compared to Apple, Blackberry and Nokia.

Did not complain about the leaked damn JI6, just letting others know my experiences with the JI6.
[Vibrant Android Development] canadafast:
Will probably go with Nokia E7 or Blackberry torch. Thanks for the advice........eh! and burn the t959 piece of junk.
[Vibrant Android Development] canadafast:
I did it without removing the lagfix and had no problems. Incase u run into problems, u can always bring the phone to download mode by taking out the battery then putting it back in. Push and hold the vol + and vol - buttons together and at the sametime plug in the usb cable and ur phone will go into download mode.
[Vibrant Android Development] djquick:
Right, well no one put a gun to your head and forced you to buy a Vibrant.......eh.

OK, I think it's aboot time to squash the bashing and keep this thread on track.
[Vibrant Android Development] kas21:
Just tried flashing JI6 over my rooted, lagfixed JI5 and it failed. Phone booted to Vibrant screen, then S logo, then it when black. Soft keys would lite eventually and stay lit. The phone would not progress any further.

Odin'd back to stock JFD and then straight to JI6. Restoring my apps via Titanium now... Seems to be very responsive.

Has anyone applied a lagfix to JI6? On JI5 you would lose vibrate functionality if you used the ext2 OCLF v2 but v1 worked fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] hexagon_sun:
OCLF Causes Vibration to cease

I think this has been mentioned a couple of times in the thread but no one addressed it. I also made my own thread about it which can be found in Q&A.

I know the problem is with JI5/JI6 and OCLF (One Click Lag Fix) together. If I have JI6 on by itself it works fine but when I put OCLF on there vibrations of any kind stop.

I was told by someone else who had a similar issue that it's because of some kind of libraries change that OCLF makes, but I could neither confirm nor deny that (my experience with actually editing ROMs themselves is basically nill).

So... anyone else have any ideas? I don't want to remove OCLF, but having my phone not have any vibration is simply not doable. If I don't end up getting any answers and I can't find anything on my own, I'll probably have no choice but to run it without the lagfix.
[Vibrant Android Development] hexagon_sun:
Well, I'm probably just going to de-lagfix it, since no one seems to want to answer my question, or doesn't have an answer as it may be. While I'm at it, I think I'm gonna go down to JI5, I noticed that from some reason the GPS on this JI6 is a lot worse on my phone than it was with the JI5 ROM I had on here.
[Vibrant Android Development] lrdm:
Haptic feedback worked for me on JI6 if you use OCLF v1+ instead of v2. I think the same goes for JI5.
[Vibrant Android Development] hexagon_sun:
I hadn't thought to try that. What are the main differences between V1+ and V2?
[Vibrant Android Development] hexagon_sun:
Hey, whaddaya know, I removed OCLF V2 and put V1+ on there and lo and behold, my vibration is back. Seems that that did the trick. As long as OCLF keeps doing what it does best, then I'll probably stick with this. Just gotta see if maybe the JI2 GPS Fix will work better than the JI6 one perhaps...

Thanks for the tip though, that totally fixed it.
[Vibrant Android Development] floepie:
Does someone have a system dump of JI6? I'm really only looking for the two framework APKs - framework-res and twframework-res. Thanks!!
[Vibrant Android Development] samyvibrantuser:
Actually, i agree with you because i had or have Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition and never had any problems still works like charm even voice is very good.

The diff is Nokia is a seasoned player in mobile space with Gps and maps but Samsung is just starting getting into smartphone with GPS/wifi (they are used to creating feature phone which means 'make it'/'sell it'/move on) and so on and they don't even care looking back once a product is sold means its closed no support or update..

Samsung has Froyo in the pipeline but i see it for I9000 International version but it will take time to reach the shore of US.

Help! I just tried to flash ji6 over ji5 with pit file 512 and it got to factory rfs and just has hung there for about 10 minutes and counting. I have flashed via Odin before without any problems. What can I do ? Do I just stop Odin and then try to reflash again, I am afraid to unplug the phone for fear of bricking it. Any and all help Is and will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
Did you put the phone in download mode while Odin was open?

Try flashing it without the pit file. I had this problem trying to flash JI6 for the second time (with the PIT file this time) and I got it back to life.
[Vibrant Android Development] djquick:
Just reflash it, you'll be fine. Close odin and re-open it.
[Vibrant Android Development] slighpcs:
You should be able to restart the process without any repercussions. I personally did not flash using the PIT file.
[Vibrant Android Development] fit333:
i had the same problem..

1 flash froyo that doesn't brick

2 flash stock

3 flash ji6 with .pit

fix worked for me, fortune favors the persistent.

(issues may be due to previous lag/oc/init mods)
[Vibrant Android Development] djquick:
He doesn't have to do all that. He just said it was hanging at factory rfs in which hanging is a known issue with odin. All he has to do is close out odin and restart it.

Oops overanalising allert.. Ill let mr dj take this one lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] tenbeau:
I had odin started and the pit and tar in place and then I put the phone into download mode. I also had usb debugging activated. Could that have been the problem? I have since flashed ji5 again and all seems to be well with that. Thanks SO MUCH for your reply and would appreciate it if you could give me input on the debugging portion. Also I noticed that the Gunnman one click root did not work going back to ji5 and I had to use the update.zip root. Any ideas about that? Once again thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tried it again without the pit file and the same result but have no problem flashing back to j15.Perhaps the downloaded file I have is corrupted. I will download it and start again. Once again thanks so much to all for the help!!

This is my first time using odin. I put the phone into download mode, used the odin packaged with the links in the first post. I selected PDA and the tar file. I didn't change any of the other options.

When I told Odin to start, it did this:

<ID:0/006> Added!!

<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..

<ID:0/006> File analysis..

<ID:0/006> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/006> Initialzation..

<ID:0/006> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/006> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/006> cache.rfs

<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

<ID:0/006> Removed!!

I disconnected my phone and now I have the phone ! computer icon (same as fit333's avatar above).

I tried to enter download mode again as well as recovery mode, but the screen just goes black and flashes the icon again. I let it cycle back and forth a few times because I had seen some guides indicating you have to let it flash off twice.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

Edit: I got it back into download mode and odin is working now.

it has odin + pit file + .dlls + tar file

it works, happy he packaged it saved me time :D

use terminal and type this

Pull your battery out. Hold down power button and volume down at the same time. Select recovery option. When it boots into recovery make sure you wipe cache, wipe David cache. Flash Rom and see if that works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beastmods:
Boot into recovery /power on while holding volume down/

Wipe dalvik and data both twice. Maybe also try /system format under advanced I think. Sorry I use RA recovery

If that don't work boot back into recovery and wipe dalvik and restore the nandroid backup that you should have made.

Good luck and this should be in q&a
